Trap Tools Guide: Monster Hunter Wilds

Slaying monsters is thrilling, but mastering the art of trapping them is essential for gathering every monster part needed for armor crafting in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. To successfully trap these creatures, you'll need Trap Tools. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and utilize them.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't provide explicit instructions on trapping monsters or obtaining Trap Tools, the process will be familiar if you've played earlier games in the series.

You can acquire Trap Tools by visiting the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage in conversation with him, and navigate through his inventory to locate the Trap Tools, which are priced at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to purchase several of these, especially if you're aiming to farm specific monsters or aspire to capture every type of monster in the game.

Keep in mind, Trap Tools can only be bought at Base Camp and are not available in the wild like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

Once you have your Trap Tools, it's time to employ them effectively. You can combine them with a Net, using Spiderweb or Ivy, to create a Pitfall Trap. Alternatively, you can pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor to form a Shock Trap.

Both types of traps are effective, but be aware that certain monsters have resistances. For example, Shock Traps won't affect Rey Dau, the lightning dragon, due to its immunity to electric shocks. In such cases, opting for a Pitfall Trap is your best bet.

It's crucial to remember that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so deploy them strategically when the monster is weakened.
