Hunters looking for trophies and achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds have quite a bit to do. Some of these tasks can be really time-consuming. A seemingly useless item can help you save a lot of time.
What are achievements? In Monster Hunter Wilds, there are currently around 50 trophies / achievements that you can achieve as a hunter. To earn them, you need to complete specific tasks and receive digital awards in return. Some of these can be achieved quite easily while simply playing the game.
However, some require a bit more invested time, such as reaching Hunter Rank 100 or earning 1,000,000 Zenny. Usually, the time can also be significantly shortened. An item can help you considerably reduce the time for some achievements.
Which achievements are we talking about? These are the achievements for which you need to hunt enough monsters that have a crown. However, this crown is not necessarily directly recognizable on the respective monsters, and many players just attack and hope they have a special monster in their sights.
Particularly cumbersome is the achievement “Collection of Large Crowns,” for which you need to hunt many monsters with golden crowns. An item that initially seems inconspicuous can save you from unnecessary hunts.
Which item helps with this? We are talking about the binoculars. What initially seems to be useful only for observing from a distance can provide hunters with valuable additional information. This includes whether the monster currently roaming the area has a crown.
When you pull out your binoculars and target a monster, it shows you an icon of the monster, which may have either a silver or gold crown. If you see such a monster, you can then specifically hunt it without having to hope blindly that you need that monster for your achievement.
What if I’m currently hunting another monster? Don’t panic; if you discover a required monster but are currently busy with another one, you should open your map. Here, you can see the monsters that are currently in the area and save it for later as an “investigation.” For this, you need guild points.
Once you’ve saved the investigation, you can specifically hunt the monster later by starting an investigation quest with Alma. This way, you can also share this hunt with your friends and help them achieve the achievement faster as well. Together, you can work towards the goal.
