PS5
Monster Hunter Wilds combines hunter progression, support activities and a crown collection that benefits from patient organisation. Not every hunt advances the same objectives: capturing, slaying, playing online and bringing your Palico are different conditions. This roadmap recommends completing story unlocks before focusing sessions on outstanding counters. Crown hunting should involve checking monster size and missing species rather than endlessly repeating the easiest target.
Base-game platinum roadmap. Expansions and additional trophy groups are separate from the main route.
- Required difficulty: There is no difficulty selection required for the base platinum.
- Missable trophies: The roadmap reports no permanent base-game missables.
- Online: The list requires multiplayer quests, profiles and connections with other players.
Open up hunting possibilities through the story
Follow main missions and available side assignments instead of immediately focusing on crowns. Progression improves the usefulness of equipment, investigations and monster access. Also track different side missions: repeating the same hunt does not replace the variety required by East to West, A Hunter Never Rests.
- Progress the story and record different side missions.
Combine multiplayer with Palico progress where possible
Hunters United Forever requires a hundred multiplayer quests, while Someone Worth Following needs your Palico deployed. Check party composition before departing: a larger group may remove the Palico from the hunt. When conditions allow, a pair of hunters can advance both objectives without duplicating the entire workload.
- Check that your Palico is present in hunts dedicated to its counter.
Check size before repeating a hunt
Use binoculars and the Hunting Log to distinguish miniature and giant crowns. A silver crown does not automatically replace the gold crown needed for the final collection. Keep useful investigations and compare each species with your checklist: the goal is covering missing categories, not accumulating victories against already covered monsters.
- Record each species’ miniature and giant gold crowns.
Separate captures, apex predators and tempered monsters
Capture Pro, Seasoned Hunter and Top of the Food Chain measure different actions and categories. Prepare to capture eligible monsters when working on captures: an ordinary kill does not advance that counter. Before spending resources on a repeated hunt, check whether the target also contributes to another unfinished category.
- Choose the target according to the counter you want to finish.
Reserve sessions for endemic life and fishing
I Caught a Shooting Star!, A Prize Held High and Monster (Squid) Hunter are not earned merely by finishing hunting quests. Bring suitable equipment and reserve a phase for observing environmental conditions. Keep rare creatures on a separate checklist so their cleanup is not buried inside the Hunter Rank grind.
- Separate rare creatures, fishing and rank progression.
Finish rank, Artian and equipment rarity goals
Established Hunter requires Hunter Rank 100. Impregnable Defense, Power Is Everything and A Legacy Restored instead check pieces or weapons of specified rarity. Do not spend rare materials merely to increase a number: compare the next item against unfinished requirements and build a targeted crafting list.
- Check required rarity and quantity before crafting.

Frequently asked questions

No: the list contains explicit multiplayer-quest and player-interaction objectives.

No: Capture Pro requires captures, which differ from kills.
