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 essential monster parts needed for armor forging. This requires specific materials, including Trap Tools. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to obtain and utilize Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
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 entries in the series, the process will feel intuitive.
To obtain Trap Tools, head to your Base Camp and visit the Provisions Stockpiler NPC. Engage with him and browse through his inventory until you find the Trap Tools, available for purchase at 200 Zenny each. I highly recommend stocking up on these, particularly if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every monster in the game.
Remember, the only way to acquire Trap Tools is through purchasing them at Base Camp. Unlike other resources, you won't find them scattered in the wild.
How to Use Trap Tools
Once you've secured your Trap Tools, it's time to employ them effectively. You can combine Trap Tools with a Net (crafted using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to form a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that certain monsters are immune to specific traps. For example, Shock Traps won't affect Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, making Pitfall Traps your best option in such cases.
Additionally, keep in mind that you can only carry one Trap item at a time. Therefore, it's crucial to deploy them strategically when the monster is weakened.
That's the complete rundown on obtaining and using Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
