"Guide: Defeating and Capturing Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Want to conquer the fearsome Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds* without getting scorched or losing your meat? Don't worry, brave hunter—we've got you covered with all the tips you need to not only defeat but also capture this fiery beast.

How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Quematrice, a giant chicken-like monster inspired by the Cockatrice, breathes fire instead of petrifying its foes. As a mid-sized monster, it's vulnerable to most weapons, but its area-based attacks suggest opting for weapons with range if you're less confident in close combat.

Key to overcoming the Quematrice is understanding its weaknesses and attacks. It's weak to water, has no notable resistances, but is immune to Sonic Bombs. Here are some attacks to watch out for:

• Tail Strikes and Sweeps: While these can deal damage, the tail slam is the most dangerous, especially when you're positioned behind it. The Quematrice lifts its tail high before slamming it down. Dodge or block to avoid damage.
• Fire Attacks: These are the most hazardous, causing immediate damage, setting you on fire (which drains health), and igniting the ground. The Quematrice has several fire-based moves:
  • A frontal attack where it rears its head, roars, and then flings fire from its tail.
  • A sweeping attack following a roar and the lifting of its head and tail, hitting everything around it.
  • A charging move where it runs toward you, turns at the last second, and flings fire. If you're at range, back away to dodge the flames.

How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Quematrice requires the right gear: a Shock Trap, a Pitfall Trap, and at least two Tranq Bombs. Although you can technically capture it with just one trap, having a backup is crucial, especially if the monster flees or another monster triggers it.

To proceed with the capture, weaken the Quematrice until it starts limping. You can also monitor the mini-map for the skull icon, indicating it's ready to be captured. Once it's weak, wait for it to move to a new area for a simpler capture. Lay your trap, lure the Quematrice into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to secure your catch.
