In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's more to do than just hunting down the largest beasts. If you're looking to unlock the A Prize Held High trophy or achievement, here's your guide to achieving it.
How To Unlock the A Prize Held High Trophy/Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds
You might initially think that this trophy is related to dragons or wyverns, but the real target is the elusive Curioshell Crab, which you can capture using the Capture Net.
Finding the Curioshell Crab can be challenging as it appears across various maps. Our most reliable spot has been in the Scarlet Forest. Start from the base camp and head to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp, situated between Areas 2 and 6.

Once you reach the Flowering Rocks, check the nearby puddle of water, a prime spawning spot for the Curioshell Crab. If you can't spot it, Alma can assist you. She'll mention if a creature is carrying something, signaling the presence of a Curioshell Crab nearby.
Equip your Capture Net, aim carefully until the reticle turns orange, and fire to capture the crab. A successful capture will net you both the Curioshell Crab and an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
The Curioshell Crab is fast, so anticipate its movements and aim ahead to ensure a successful capture. Besides the Scarlet Forest, you might also find it in Area 13 of the Windward Plains or Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. Keep in mind, it can appear in other map areas as well, but these are the most tested locations.
