Where to find giant vigorwasps in Monster Hunter Wilds
Giant vigorwasps are a kind of endemic life in Monster Hunter Wilds. They’re the same as the healing vigorwasps you’re probably used to seeing, but they’re, you know, giant.
You’ll need to capture one as part of a side quest, “A Gutsy Move,” for your Palico. This is one of several side missions your palico offers as you progress through the game.
Our Monster Hunter Wilds guide will tell you where to find giant vigorwasps and how to catch them.
Where to find giant vigorwasps in Monster Hunter Wilds
Giant vigorwasps can be found in the Windward Plains, the Scarlet Forest, or the Ruins of Wyveria. They seem to only spawn during a plenty, and do not seem to spawn at all during a fallow.
Happily, they show up as icons on your map. Open the map and hit right on the D-pad two times to pull up the icon filter. Scroll down to giant vigorwasps, and then use left and right on the D-pad to find one nearby.
Hit X/A to create a waypoint so your Seikret can take you straight there.
How to catch giant vigorwasps in Monster Hunter Wilds
Once you’ve spotted a giant vigorwasp, all that’s left is to capture them. Equip your capture net either from the item bar or from your Essential Items radial menu.
With the new rectangle reticle, approach the giant vigorwasp (they don’t acknowledge your presence, so don’t worry about stealth here) until the reticle turns yellow-orange and fire it. Just make sure you hit L2/LT and not the usual Square/X.
This captures the giant vigorwasp instead of popping it like you usually do, so you won’t get the healing benefits you normally would. You do, however, have a chance of collecting honey for crafting potions or eastern honey which is a cooking ingredient.
To also help you understand Monster Hunter Wilds, we explain how to capture monsters, how to change weapons, provide some Seikret tips, and teach you how layered armor works.
