Are you ready to take on the fiery Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? Don’t let its flames and meat-stealing antics deter you. We're here to guide you through the process of defeating and capturing this fearsome beast with detailed insights on its weaknesses, strategic approaches, attacks to dodge, and the best methods to not only conquer but also capture the Quematrice.
How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds
The Quematrice, resembling a giant chicken inspired by the mythical Cockatrice, poses a fiery challenge. Fortunately, it breathes fire instead of petrifying its foes. As a mid-sized monster, it's vulnerable to a variety of weapons, but its area-based attacks make ranged weapons a safer choice for less confident hunters.
Key weaknesses include:
- Weaknesses: Water
- Resistances: N/A
- Immunities: Sonic Bomb
When facing the Quematrice, be cautious of its tail attacks. The tail slam is particularly potent, especially when you're positioned behind it. The monster lifts its tail high before slamming it down, which you can evade by sidestepping or blocking. The real danger lies in its fire-based attacks, which not only deal direct damage but can ignite you, causing continuous health drain and setting the ground ablaze.
These fire attacks are tricky to anticipate. One involves the Quematrice rearing its head and roaring before launching a flame from its tail. Another is a sweeping fire attack after a similar roar and lift of its head and tail, affecting everything around it. Additionally, it can charge at you and then pivot to throw fire in your direction. If you're using ranged weapons, start moving backwards as soon as you see these cues to avoid the flames.
How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Quematrice requires specific tools: a Shock Trap, a Pitfall Trap, and at least two Tranq Bombs. While you only need one trap, having a backup is crucial in *Monster Hunter* games, in case the Quematrice escapes or another monster interferes.
Once the Quematrice is sufficiently weakened and limping, or if you notice the skull icon appearing intermittently on the mini-map, it’s time to set a trap. Ideally, wait until the monster has moved to a new area after limping away, as this simplifies the process. Place your trap, lure the Quematrice into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this fiery foe.
