Slaying monsters is exhilarating, but to truly master *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll need to learn the art of trapping them to collect every monster part necessary for forging powerful armor. To achieve this, you'll need Trap Tools. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and effectively use Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't explicitly walk you through trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, if you're familiar with previous entries in the series, the process will feel intuitive.
To obtain Trap Tools, visit the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage with him, and navigate through his inventory to locate the Trap Tools. Each Trap Tool costs 200 Zenny. It's wise to stock up on these tools, particularly if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every monster species in the game.
Remember, Trap Tools can only be purchased at Base Camp; they aren't available in the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
Once you've secured your Trap Tools, it's time to deploy them effectively. You can combine them with a Net (crafted from Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to form a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but keep in mind that certain monsters have resistances. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, making Pitfall Traps the better choice in this case.
It's also crucial to note that you can only carry one Trap item at a time. Therefore, reserve their use for when the monster is weakened to maximize your chances of success.
And that's the complete guide on how to get and use Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
