Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, but to truly master the game, you'll need to learn how to trap them for gathering every monster part essential for armor forging. To do this, you'll need Trap Tools. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and use them effectively.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't explicitly 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, head to your Base Camp and speak with the Provisions Stockpiler NPC. Scroll through his inventory to find Trap Tools, which are available for purchase at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on these, especially if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every monster in the game.
Note that Trap Tools can only be bought at Base Camp and are not available in the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
Once you've acquired your Trap Tools, it's time to utilize them effectively. You can combine them with a Net (crafted using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to make a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but remember that certain monsters have immunities. For example, Shock Traps won't affect Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, so in such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap instead.
Keep in mind that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is weakened.
