While slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, mastering the art of trapping them is essential for gathering every monster part needed for crafting armor. To successfully trap these creatures, you'll need Trap Tools. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and utilize Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
Although *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't directly guide you on trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, if you're familiar with previous games in the series, the process will feel intuitive.
To obtain Trap Tools, visit the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage in conversation with him and browse through his inventory until you locate the Trap Tools, which are priced at 200 Zenny each. I highly recommend purchasing a substantial quantity, particularly if your goal is to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every type of monster in the game.
It's important to note that Trap Tools can only be acquired by purchasing them at Base Camp; they are not 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, using Spiderweb or Ivy, to create a Pitfall Trap. Alternatively, you can pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor to craft a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that certain monsters may be resistant to specific traps. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, so a Pitfall Trap would be your best choice in this scenario.
Remember, you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so it's crucial to use them strategically when the monster is weakened.
That concludes our guide on acquiring and using Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more in-depth tips and information on the game, be sure to check out resources like The Escapist.
