Monster Hunter Wilds features a silver trophy/achievement that requires the player to “caught a creature that bears an ancient wyvern coin.” For this, we need to capture an Curioshell Crab.
Where to find the creature holding the ancient wyvern coin
The Curioshell Crab has multiple spawn points in the game. The earliest one is in the Plains. Go to area 13 (Oasis). Near it, you will find a hole that resembles a cave entrance:
Descend through it and proceed until you reach a open area. Your Palico will say: “That creature is carrying something?”, this is your cue to use the Capture Net and catch the creature. Aim precisely so you don’t miss. If you take too long, the creature will disappear.
I did several tests and, in all of them, the crab’s spawn was fixed. It takes a while to reappear but it will always appear in the same area!
The description of the Curioshell Crab says the following:
“Crabs that have retained their ancient appearance and are bigger than their standard brethren. They flee at full speed the instant they spot a foe, not bothering to camouflage themselves. Instead, they heap metal objects onto their carapaces, which are thought to be artifacts from ancient civilizations.“
The Curioshell Crab isn’t the only creature you can capture in Monster Hunter Wilds. The game has more than 50 endemic creatures, including the rare Sandstar (check out our guide for it here). You can also use the fishing pole to catch whoppers, giant fishes. You can read our guide for whoppers here.
