Monster Hunter Rise: Trap Tool Guide

While slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is undeniably thrilling, mastering the art of trapping is crucial for acquiring all those coveted monster parts needed for crafting superior armor. This requires specific materials—Trap Tools—and knowing where to find them. Let's dive in.

Where to Get Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*

Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't explicitly guide you to Trap Tools, but for veterans of the series, this will feel familiar. You can acquire Trap Tools by visiting the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Simply chat with him, browse his inventory, and purchase Trap Tools for 200 Zenny each. It's highly recommended to stock up, especially if you're planning on farming specific monsters or aiming for a complete collection.

Unlike other resources found in the wild, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at the Base Camp.

How to Use Trap Tools

With your Trap Tools acquired, it's time to deploy them. Combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to craft a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to create a Shock Trap.

While both traps are effective, remember that certain monsters are immune to specific trap types. For example, a Shock Trap is useless against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, naturally immune to shock. In such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap.

Also, note that you can only carry one trap at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is vulnerable.

That's how to obtain and utilize Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more game tips and guides, be sure to check out The Escapist!
