In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have the option to complete hunts by either slaying or capturing the targeted monsters. Both methods yield valuable drops that can be utilized to forge advanced weapons and gear; however, capturing requires a specific approach that players must master.
To successfully capture a monster, you need to incapacitate it using Tranq Bombs
or Tranq Ammo
. Acquiring a steady supply of Tranq Bombs is essential for consistent success in captures. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently gather the necessary materials and craft these items.

Crafting Tranq Bombs in Monster Hunter Wilds



The fundamental method for tranquilizing a monster involves the use of Tranq Bombs, which are also required for various recipes down the line. To craft these essential items, navigate to your Crafting List and select the Traps/Offense menu on the third page. The materials needed to create a Tranq Bomb include:
- 1
- 1 Sleep Herb
Due to the necessity of these items for any chosen capture method, consider enabling Auto-Craft for them since the materials required do not overlap with other recipes.Sleep Herbs
tend to be the limiting factor in your supply of Tranq Bombs, while Parashrooms
are generally more accessible, being found in abundance across various regions.

Utilizing Tranq Bombs
Employing Tranq Bombs is a feasible approach to rendering monsters unconscious, although you’ll need to be in close proximity to achieve this. Ensure the monster is in a weakened state before deploying the bomb from your item bar. Upon activation, a Tranq Bomb will generate a tranquilizing cloud at your feet, affecting all nearby entities; however, your hunter will remain unharmed within the cloud.
Crafting Tranq Ammo in Monster Hunter Wilds


Players can explore two crafting options for Tranq Ammo:
Tranq Blade | Tranq Bomb + Throwing Knife (infinite supply) |
---|---|
Ammo Tranq | Tranq Bomb + Normal Arrow (infinite supply) |
Both options effectively serve as variations of the Tranq Bomb since the additional materials are not scarce. When used correctly, Tranq Ammo, which can be fired from a Bowgun, and Tranq Blades, applicable with any primary weapon through the Slinger, are equally effective in capturing monsters.
