Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, but to collect every monster part for your armor crafting, you'll need to master the art of trapping. This requires Trap Tools, which are essential for your hunting toolkit. Here's a detailed guide on how to acquire and utilize Trap Tools effectively.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
Although *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't provide explicit instructions on trapping monsters or obtaining Trap Tools, players familiar with the series will find the process intuitive.
You can acquire Trap Tools by visiting the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage in a conversation with him, and browse through his inventory until you find the Trap Tools, priced 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 a variety of creatures in the game.
Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at Base Camp and cannot be scavenged in the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
Once you've secured your Trap Tools, it's time to employ them strategically. Combine a Trap Tool with a Net (crafted using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or pair it with a Thunderbug Capacitor for a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but keep in mind that certain monsters have immunities. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, due to its resistance to electrical attacks. In such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap instead.
Also, note that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so deploy them wisely when the monster is weakened.
That's your comprehensive guide to obtaining and using Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
