Complete Roadmap to 100% Monster Hunter Wild Achievements

Rewards and achievements are somethig that keeps you hooked with the game for a longer run.

The more you experience all that the game has to offer, the more rewards you get for your accomplishments.

So in this guide, I’ll lay out complete roadmap to unlocking 100% of the Monster Hunter Wild Achievements that includes providing strategies and tips for unlocking each one.

Understanding the Monster Hunter Wild Achievement System

Before we get into the details of each achievement, let’s talk about how achievements work in Monster Hunter Wild.

There are 50 achievements in total that you can unlock. But here’s the catch: you need to finish 49 of them on one character’s saved game to get the last, 50th achievement.

This means if you want to fully complete the game, you’ll need to stick with one hunter character all the way through.

You can check you progress on achievements through various methods:

1. In-game: Access your Hunter profile and navigate to the awards page.
2. Steam (PC): View your achievements through your Steam profile.
3. Console: Use the platform’s built-in trophy or achievement system.

Now, let’s break down the achievements by difficulty and provide strategies for unlocking them.

Tips for Achievement Hunting

4. Keep track of special items: Pay attention to the environment overview to spot rare emergence events for special item gathering.
5. Be patient with fishing: Some fish have specific spawn conditions. Use the appropriate bait and time of day/season for best results.
6. Save Zenny: Avoid unnecessary purchases and sell valuable items to reach the millionaire achievement faster.
7. Complete side quests: These not only contribute to specific achievements but also often provide valuable rewards and unlock new features.
