"Mastering Quematrice Capture in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Ready to take on the formidable Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds* without getting scorched or losing your precious meat? Don't worry, brave hunter, we've got you covered. In this guide, we'll delve into the Quematrice's weaknesses, effective strategies, attacks to watch out for, and how 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 reminiscent of the Cockatrice, fortunately opts for fire-breathing over petrifying its foes. As a mid-sized monster, it's vulnerable to most weapons, though its area-based attacks might make ranged weapons more appealing for less confident hunters.

Key weaknesses include water, with no resistances noted and an immunity to sonic bombs. When facing the Quematrice, be wary of its tail attacks. While tail strikes and sweeps can cause damage, the tail slam is particularly dangerous when you're positioned behind it. The monster lifts its tail high before slamming it down, but you can sidestep or block to avoid harm.

The real threat comes from its fire-based attacks, which not only deal immediate damage but can set you ablaze, causing continuous health loss and igniting the ground. These attacks are tricky to anticipate. One involves the Quematrice rearing its head slightly and roaring before expelling a flame from its tail. Another is a full sweep after a similar roar and head lift, engulfing its surroundings in fire. Additionally, it might charge at you, turning at the last moment to unleash a fiery blast. If you're fighting at range, start retreating as soon as you see these moves to minimize damage.

How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Quematrice requires specific tools: a Shock Trap and a Pitfall Trap, along with at least two Tranq Bombs. While one trap suffices, having a backup is crucial in *Monster Hunter* games, especially if the monster flees or another creature triggers it.

Once the Quematrice is sufficiently weakened and limping—or if you notice the skull icon on your mini-map indicating its vulnerability—prepare your trap. It's best to wait until it moves to a new area after limping away, simplifying the capture process. Place your trap, lure the Quematrice into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this fiery foe.
