Embark on a side quest in *Monster Hunter Rise* that's surprisingly less about monster hunting and more about a clever crustacean! This guide will help you snag the "A Prize Held High" trophy or achievement. Forget battling behemoths for a moment; your target is the elusive Curioshell Crab.
Contrary to what the trophy name might suggest, you won't be wrestling any dragons. The key is your trusty Capture Net. While these crabs can scuttle about almost anywhere, the Scarlet Forest offers a reliable hunting ground. Head to Area 6: Flowering Rocks pop-up camp (located between Areas 2 and 6). Near the water puddle in this area, you'll find them.
If you're having trouble spotting it, Alma might offer a clue—she'll mention a creature holding something, indicating a nearby Curioshell Crab. Equip your Capture Net, aim for the orange reticle, and fire! A successful capture nets you both the crab and an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
These speedy crabs can be tricky. Aim slightly ahead of their movement to increase your chances of a successful capture. While they can appear in other areas, Area 13 of the Windward Plains and Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest are also good spots to check.
And that's it! You've earned the "A Prize Held High" trophy or achievement. For more *Monster Hunter Rise* tips and tricks, explore The Escapist.
