In Monster Hunter Wilds there is a true flood of endemic creatures. Some of them you also need to catch as part of side quests. One of them is the Megawatt Snail. We will show you where to find it and how to catch it.
For which side quest do I need the Megawatt Snail? The quest that requires you to get the Megawatt Snail is called “Dareel’s Special Research Report” and is part of a side quest series where you are to find and catch several endemic creatures for the research unit.
In this quest, you are to find a mutated variant of the Kilowatt Snail for Dareel at the Windebene base camp – the Megawatt Snail (engl. Gillopod). We will show you where you can find it and how to distinguish it from the Kilowatt Snail.
Finding and Catching Megawatt Snail – Here’s How
Where do I find and catch the Megawatt Snail? You can find the Megawatt Snail in Area 8 in Wyveria.
You can find it in this vicinity on the map:
It hangs like its relatives, the Kilowatt Snail, on the wall and does not initially look like a classical snail:
In focus, you see the Megawatt Snail, next to its non-mutated counterparts. The Megawatt Snail is larger and bluish, so you should be able to recognize it well.
Once you have found it, simply equip your catching net, aim somewhat accurately, and the sought-after creature will end up in your net, allowing you to complete the quest with Dareel in the Windebene.
