Monster Hunter Rise: Winning the A Prize Trophy

Authore: DanielUpdate:Mar 12,2025

Unlocking achievements in *Monster Hunter Rise* isn't always about slaying the biggest beasts. The "A Prize Held High" trophy/achievement, for instance, requires a slightly different approach. Forget dragons and wyverns; your target is the elusive Curioshell Crab, capturable only with your trusty Capture Net.

Finding these crabs can be tricky, as they're scattered across various maps. However, we've found the Scarlet Forest to be a reliable hunting ground. Head to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp (located between Areas 2 and 6). Near the water puddle in this area, Curioshell Crabs frequently spawn. If you're having trouble spotting one, your Palamute companion, Alma, can be a lifesaver—she'll mention if a crab is nearby.

Equip your Capture Net, aim for the orange reticle, and snag your crab! A successful capture nets you both the Curioshell Crab and an Ancient Wyvern Coin. Remember, these crabs are quick, so anticipate their movements and aim ahead of their path.

While the Scarlet Forest (Area 6 and Area 8) is a good spot, Area 13 of the Windward Plains also offers a chance to find them. Keep in mind that they can spawn in other locations too, but these areas have proven most reliable.

That's all you need to know about obtaining the "A Prize Held High" trophy/achievement in *Monster Hunter Rise*. For more *Monster Hunter Rise* guides and news, check out The Escapist.
