Monster Hunter World Iceborne Rare Endemic Life Capture: Where to Find Rare Endemic Life for Trophies and Achievements

One of the key aspects to Monster Hunter: World's, err, world was how depending on the time of day or the weather each area could house entirely different small creatures, including some Rare Endemic Life that would only appear during very specific circumstances. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne continues this trend, and adds quite a few new Rare Endemic Life to both its new maps as well as already existing ones. If you're aiming to unlock all of the trophies or achievements in Iceborne, you're going to need to catch all of these - so we've taken the time to catalog where each and every one of these creatures can be found, and how to capture them.

Note: Both the Goldspring Macaque and the Sealord's Crest are also Bounties for the Endemic Life Researcher and the Piscine Researcher respectively. It's recommended that players accept those two bounties first before actively searching for these two trophies.

Felyne Zoomaster is Your Friend

First things first, however - gather all of the new Drink canteen ingredients before heading out on the hunt for some of these creatures. The Felyne Zoomaster Food Skill, which can only be activated by eating a meal filled with Trailblazer food items, makes Rare Endemic Life spawn more frequently, and is the key to making your life a whole lot easier. You'll want to forage Butterbur and Frozen Foliage gathering spots in the Hoarfrost Reach for Rare, Super Rare, and Upsurge-only drops - as well as complete all of the Canteen optional quests and deliveries. Do that, and you should have all the Canteen items to you need to eat a meal with the skill. Make sure to spend a voucher to ensure that the skill will activate before heading out! For "Upsurge-only" drops, check that the gathering point that you're targeting is either "Flourishing" or on an "Upsurge" on the World Map before heading out.

Golden Gleam - Goldspring Macaque

By far the easiest Rare Endemic Life to capture in Iceborne - especially if you check during the "Pearl Snatchers" Event Quest! Check Area 2 in the Hoarfrost Reach during the day, and if you're lucky enough to find one, it'll be hanging out on the rock platform in the middle of the hot spring. No Ghillie Mantle required - he's easy enough to just bag, as even when he starts running away, it's very slowly.

Friendly Pointer - Arrowhead Gekko

This one can be found in every map, apparently, but it's also seemingly a guaranteed - or near-guaranteed - spawn in the Event Quest, "The Lord of the Underworld Beckons". Drop down from the Central camp, head into Area 10, and hug the left wall with your Ghillie Mantle on. You'll spot the Gekko before it'll dash up a wall. Follow it, and you'll find it "pointing" at one of the objectives for the quest, an Underground Fruit gathering point. Nab it with your Capture Net. If the Event Quest isn't in rotation while you're searching for it, just repeat these steps a few times and hopefully you'll find it.

Sweet Melody - Blue Diva

This one will occasionally spawn at the very top of the Wildspire Waste, around Area 5, during the day and when the weather is Clear. If it's currently spawned, it'll sit at roost on a perch near a nest just below the hill's peak. Startle it and it'll begin flying around - you'll need to practice some dexterity to capture it in mid-air, but don't worry too much; it just continues to fly around in circles, so you should manage it eventually. If you need help discerning its location, we've made a short video showing the path to its location, embedded above. Apparently, it can also spawn in the Ancient Forest and the Coral Highlands, so if you've managed to find it there - please let us know in the comments!

Submerged Mystery - Sealord's Crest

Despite what the Piscine Researcher might lead you to believe, the best way to catch this fish is in Area 8 of the Hoarfrost Reach, during the night. If it spawns, it'll be in the lake. It should be obvious to spot - its fin will be sticking out of the water, with a very distinct shape. You should probably bring Baitbugs to lure it to you.

Celestial Illusion - Wintermoon Nettle

This one is probably the trickiest to find. Not only will it only spawn at the Hoarfrost Reach's summit - an area that many players are undoubtedly going to miss - but it also only spawns on clear nights when the swarms of Moon Slugs aren't hanging around the caves. Spawn into the Northeast Camp, and immediately look upwards toward's the peak - give it a few seconds, but it should be obvious if it's up there. If it is, make the trek up the mountain and capture it. It'll circle above the highest point of the summit with the three mining outcrops eventually. No Ghillie Mantle required - it doesn't even have eyes. Just throw your Capture Net at it. If you need help making it up to it in the first place, you can check out our guide on how to reach the summit.

Deft Digger & Creatures of the Earth - Moly & Rocky Moly

These two trophies require multiple steps, and quite a bit of work - you'll need to track down Moly in each of the four regions found in The Guiding Lands, and then capture a Rocky Moly. Check out our dedicated Moly guide to figure out where they'll spawn, and how to capture them.

...and that's it! Iceborne somehow managed to add even more Rare Endemic Life trophies than the basegame, and some of them are absolutely brutal to find in the first place. Hopefully this helps with your trophy/achievement collecting, and Happy Hunting!

Monster Hunter World Capture The Ancient Quest - A Living Fossil Trophy

Home » Monster Hunter World » Monster Hunter World Capture The Ancient Quest – A Living Fossil Trophy

Capture the Ancient is a quest in Monster Hunter World. It’s the last mission you’ll get from the Piscine Researcher, in which he’ll ask you to find the Petricanths, an ancient creature that’s part of the endemic life of the New World. Once you do, you’ll get the A Living Fossil trophy. It’s easier said than done, though – he has no hints about the location, or what the beastie looks like. That’s why we’ve decided to write this guide, to help you complete the Monster Hunter World Capture The Ancient quest .

Ancient fish location

We’ve caught the ancient fish at Elder’s Recess, in the crystal-encased pond in sector 8. The pond is right next to the Eastern Camp – you can’t miss it. Before you head off, make sure you have some proper bait, like the Bait Bug. Regular Fodder won’t work on this sea monster.

If the fish isn’t there at once, you can fast travel away and back. You’ll easily spot it – it’s large, black and has light blue spots all over. Once it spawns, simply throw the bait – don’t wiggle it. When you turn in the quest, you’ll get 800 research points and a Deluxe First Wyverian Print.

YOU MAY ALSO READ

Yeah, how do you unlock that particular mission again? I’ve looked in every map for the man and he hasn’t given me the task yet.

After doing the other fishing missions you have to find the fisherman guy on a low rank expedition.

I caught this fish before they gave me the quest and I got the trophy, and now it does not appear, I’ve tried a lot of times. Does it appear only once?

I’m running into the same thing. Did you ever get it?

It came back for me, but I had to start a new expedition like 15 times.

He can be caught multiple times. He’s just an extremely rare spawn that’s dependent on RNG to even have a chance to be there. Additionally, regular fodder does work on this fish. I caught him my first time with it.

Monster Hunter World: How to Capture a Creature

Players will spend most of their time slaying monsters in Monster Hunter World, but it's actually possible to capture creatures in the game as well. Here is how to do it.

The main goal in  Monster Hunter World is as its name implies:  to hunt monsters. Over the course of the game, players will be tasked with slaying a variety of massive beasts, all with their own unique attacks and abilities. While hunting down and killing monsters is certainly the main goal in  Monster Hunter World , it's also possible for players to capture monsters alive, though it's a bit trickier than you may expect.

Firstly, capturing small monsters in  Monster Hunter World is fairly easy, so we'll start there. To catch small creatures, simply find one out in the field, and then equip the net. Aim and shoot the net at the creature, and if successfully caught, it will then be possible to have it as a pet back at the players' headquarters room.

While catching smaller creatures is easy enough, catching larger monsters in  Monster Hunter World is a multi-step process, and isn't as straightforward. First, players will need to collect the correct supplies, mainly shock traps and tranq bombs. Both of these items can be crafted, with shock traps requiring trap tools and thunderbugs, and tranq bombs created by combining sleep herbs and parashrooms.

Players that don't want to craft these items can also receive them from their supply box at the start of missions where the requirement is to capture the creature alive. At any rate, once the supplies have been collected, it's time to head out and fight whatever monster you want to catch.

Fight the monster like normal, and wear it down until it tries to limp away. At this point, get in front of the monster and drop shock traps at its feet, which will immobilize. Next throw a tranq bomb at its head. If successful, the monster will be knocked out and captured. If not, it will likely recover and you'll have to wear it down to its limping stage to try again.

Capturing monsters in  Monster Hunter World may be more difficult than just slaying the beasts like normal, but the additional rewards earned make it worth the trouble. Anyone having too much trouble, though, may want to consider joining up with friends in co-op to make the process a little bit easier.

Monster Hunter World is available now for PS4 and Xbox One, with a PC release planned for later this year.

Augurfly is an Endemic Life creature in Monster Hunter World (MHW) . These animals and insects are found out in the field, and can be captured by dedicated Hunters looking to research the New World.

They only emerge on rainy days, and it's said that the day after is guaranteed to be sunny! They're like good weather charms!

You can find the Augurfly in:

• Ancient Forest , sector 3, 5, 10, 11, 16, ?
• Wildspire Waste , sector 2, 3, 10, ?
• Coral Highlands , sector 5, 8, 11, 14, ?
• Rotten Vale , sector 1, 9, 11, 12, 15, ?
• Elder's Recess , sector 7, 8, 16, ?
• The Guiding Lands , sector ?

Capturing Rewards

You can capture Augurfly by using the infinite item "capture net" then aiming for the creature with the control's trigger and pressing Square on your controller when the outline of the frame turns orange.

• House placing : Carpet, Floor, Hearth, Garden, Sky
• Other rewards : 180 RP
• ♕ 110.64 - ♕ 203.88
• Large Gold Crown Conditions: Foul Weather (Rain, etc), Night Time. (There's a possibility of finding the gold crown as long as either condition is met.)
• [Other games it appears in]
• The weather must be Acid Rain, use Food Effect: Felyne Weathercat if it is available.
• The Augurfly will appear as a separate spawn from the Omenfly(s), directly over the small fishing hole as soon as you enter through either entrance.

Some advice for those trying to get one for the gold crown bounty. Here's what I did: I highly suggest getting the skills Felyne Biologist or Felyne Zoomaster as they increase rare endemic life spawns. Where I found mine was by the watering hole by the Plunderer's den in the Rotten Vale but they may spawn in other areas like the acid lake. Wait for acid rain weather and night time for the gold crown conditions. It may take a bit to get a gold crown but what I did was check various spawn areas in a map and then move to a different area to refresh the spawns. Good luck out there!

I went for zoomaster and weathercat in the end. U can go in between regions with bad weather active while still keeping ur buffs active

So I tried zoomaster ,macrozoologist and weathercat all together but it dosent work out. You can have zoomaster and macrozoologist or zoomaster and weathercat or macrozoologist and weathercat. This game doesn't make it easy...

I caught two of them in the ancient forest. One was in area 11 and the other one was at area 14

I was trying to catch one in the coral highlands at area 8 but a large monster messed it up, I don't remember which monster was it. It happened today when I was hunting a paolumu and found one at area 3, I caught it but the Paolumu messed it up :(

I found mine everywhere except in the Elder's Recess. You can find these in rainy days. It says in the diary

I find these things near the acid in the rotten vale all the time. Once I saw two right next to eachother! These are actually pretty common like the pilot hare.

I got mine in Wildspire Waste at night near area 10. Jump to area 11 camp, then go up the vines on the left will be monster nest and on the right cave exit. Go to the right, there are 3 Omenfly spawns close to eachother(Augurs spawn there too) and additional Augur spawn on one of the rocks. Remember to get Biolo/Zoo food buffs. Took me ~2h total to get it.

Caught crowned in area 8 of Coral Highlands at night, clear weather.

Caught one wildspire waste day sandstorm. Outside camp 11 near bonepile not crown though. Cactuar was at camp too

I found mine today on rainy night in the Ancient forest. Went to the tree top camp in sector 17 and followed the tree top path towards where the egg nest is in sector 16. It was right before you have to crawl into the nest area.

Found Crowned Augurfly at the entrance of Camp 11 in Wilspire Waste, Foul Weather (Sandstorm), Day Time.

Coral Highlands, Sector 5 can have one right next to the rope thing #2.

The place I've found nearly every augurfly I've ever caught is in sector 15 of the Rotten Vale. Same cave where you can find the bristly crake and the petricanths.

You can find them in camp 17 or something in the Wilshire waste. Go outside the camp to the bats and the bone pile. There will be 2 flying insects most of the time one will be an augorfly it will be the one with darker blue colors

THEY GLOW RED WHEN ENEMIES/MONSTERS ARE NEAR BY!

Section 10 above the rock platform south of the hidden mining node and wedge beetle

The only ones I found were at the top of the ancient forest in broad sunlight (sector 16 inbetween the camp and the rathalos' resting site)

Found one spawned above the golden fish pond in the rotten vale in area 15

They may occasionally spawn without it seems. I found mine while searching for a large gunpowder fish in the coral highlands, and it was flying overhead.

Monster Hunter World: How To Catch The Living Fossil

Here's everything you need to know about how to complete the Capture the Ancient bounty and capture the Petricanth fish in Monster Hunter World.

Quick Links

Where to find the petricanth, how to catch the prehistoric fish.

The prehistoric fish known as the Petricanth is an addition to the Endemic Life monsters in Monster Hunter World and it is the rarest fish in the whole game. Catching the Petricanth is a challenging experience.

Related: Monster Hunter World: How To Defeat Barroth

You'll need to catch one of these to complete the "Research Help: Capture the Ancient" bounty, plus, you'll be rewarded with a trophy/achievement and the ability to place it in your house. Our guide entails the fishing locations of prehistoric fish in Monster Hunter World and mentions how to catch this rarest fish faster.

In the world of Monster Hunter World, the Petricanth spawns only at two locations , and those are:

• At a small pond in Sector 15 of Rotten Vale.
• The Eastern Camp in Sector 8 of Elder's Recess . It rarely spawns there, but still, the chances are high.

Note: If you have the Iceborne DLC for Monster Hunter World, it can also be pawswapped with plunderers in the Rotten Vale.

Rotten Vale, by far, is the best place to catch Petricanth. However, you will at least need to have unlocked five-star quests in Monster Hunter World to increase the chances for the fish to spawn in Rotten Vale.

The steps below will help you to catch the Petricanth quickly.

• Firstly, depart for an expedition on Rotten Vale at the central Camp in Area 11 .
• Now open up your map and go to the level below that to find Area 15 . Now, put a marker on your map at the location shown in the image above and let the Scout Flies guide you there.
• Once you reach Area 15, go to the very end of it, and you will see two small blue ponds . However, you will never see any fish on the left one, so you need to head for the right one at this point.
• The ponds will mostly have green and yellow fish there. However, if you get lucky, you will find Petricanth there.
• End your expedition and start a new one if you do not find the Petricanth. Then repeat all the steps we have mentioned so far. Since the Petricanth is a rare spawn, you will find it in your first five to ten tries.
• So when you do find the Petricanth, equip your Fishing Rod , and throw the fishing rod near the Petricanth. While trying to catch the Petricanth, do not wiggle your bait too much as it will scare the fish away.
• Other fish in the pond might cause you problems by biting the bait. However, you must focus on catching them, and eventually, you will get rid of them.

If you are having trouble getting the Petricanth to bite, then we recommend using the Baitbug . You can find some of them near the pond.

Once you reel the Petricanth, you will achieve the “A Living Fossil Achievement” trophy and get 500 RP points . Once you have caught the Petricanth, you can place it inside the Aquarium in your home and admire it. To do this, go back to your living quarter, talk to your housekeeper, select "Place Your Pet" , and then choose the Petricanth. Next, walk up to the Aquarium, and you will get the option to admire.
