Curioshell Crab Location in Monster Hunter Wilds
Guide to the Prize Held High Trophy

The Curioshell Crab is widely distributed across all five expansive areas of Monster Hunter Wilds. However, players often report success finding it in the Scarlet Forest, particularly near the Area 6 Pop-Up Campsite at the Flowering Rocks Tent.
You do not need to set up a campsite if you lack an additional slot. Instead, turn away from the campsite and head north towards a nearby water body, where you may spot the Curioshell Crab moving around.




To capture the Curioshell Crab, hold down L1/LB and browse through your items. Press Square/X to equip your Capture Net, then hold R2/RT to prepare it for throwing. Listen closely for any comments from Alma about unique creatures; she may prompt you with remarks such as “Is that creature holding something?“when referring to the Curioshell Crab.
Additionally, Curioshell Crabs can also be found beneath the oasis in Area 14 of the Windward Plains, as well as near the fishing point in Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest.
Successfully capturing the Curioshell Crab not only adds its details to your Endemic Life Field Guide, but you will also be rewarded with an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
Collecting Curioshell Crabs serves as an efficient strategy for farming Ancient Wyvern Coins. These coins can be traded with Gawdygog at the Wudwud Hideout in Scarlet Forest for exclusive items such as armor spheres and Melding Tickets.
