Introduction

Fishing in Monster Hunter Wilds is a fun activity that not only adds variety to the gameplay but also provides valuable resources for hunters. In this guide, we will cover everything about fishing, the main mechanics, quests, tips and tricks for successful fishing.

The main tutorial for fishing occurs in Chapter 1-5 at the base camp of the Scarlet Forest from the NPC Kanya
