InYou not only have to send monsters into the eternal hunting grounds, but sometimes catch them before they die. It's not always easy. Fortunately, you have us so that we can tell you the most important tips and preparation tricks. The game doesn't do that in detail.
We focus below on thatCatch from big monsters.You just catch small wild animals with the catch network. With the big monsters you have three steps:
- Weakens the monster
- Put on a shock trap or fall pit
- Sleep the monster with a calming bomb, ammunition or blade
Sounds easy, right? The fact that this does not always work so seamlessly in practice, very much in our fishing attempt in the following video:
This is how she creates traps and calming bombs
The items you need for hunting are not ready to be picked up somewhere on the map. In most cases you will have to make them.
For a case pit you need:
- Fallen (you can buy from the supply camp)
- Network (you make from ivy and spider web)
For a shock trap you need:
- Fallen (you can buy from the supply camp)
- Donner beetle capacitor (you get when collecting thunder beetles in the wilderness)
For a sedative bomb you need:
- Sleep herb (you can find in the wilderness)
- Low mushroom (you can find in the wilderness)
You need for calm ammunition:
- Calming bomb
- Normal ammunition (you have endless in the inventory)
For a sedative blade you need:
- Calming bomb
- Surface (you have endless in the inventory)
Which type of calming item you want to use depends on your playing style and the chosen weapons. If you use an arch gun, you can take the ammunition. If you attack a lot from a distance with an arch or the like, we recommend the calming blade. And melee fighter falls back on the calming bombs.
You can also catch the monsters in the multiplayer. This guide explains to you how the interaction is based:
This is how it works with the catch
Before you go on the big catch hunting, we have a few important tips for you:
- Pay attention to the status of your monsters:You don't want you to accidentally kill it. At the latest when the skull symbol appears on the minimap, you should go for the trap.
- Sort your bag:The monster is not caught forever, the faster you can navigate through your inventory, the better.
- You only have a few attempts:You can only take a trap and a handful of calming items with you. If it inserts it and the monster prefers to weaken a little more than too little.
Exercise does the Monster Hunter here. The more often you practice catching, the easier it is to place traps properly or to take the right catch moment.
Why should you catch monsters at all?Apart from the fact that you get an order for it after completing the main quest, catching is particularly worthwhile if you want to have new monster parts quickly.
The catch is much faster than killing. And once you've caught every monster, you wave a success.
