Monster Hunter Wilds: How to Complete Kanya's All Fishing Quests

Meet Kanya – Your Fishing Quest Giver : Find Kanya, the enthusiastic fisherwoman, at the Scarlet Forest Base Camp to begin your angling journey. You'll need to complete the "Forest Findings" main quest in Chapter 1 before she offers her first fishing challenge. Speaking with her initiates the "Fishing: Life, in Microcosm" side quest, which serves as your introduction to Monster Hunter Wilds' comprehensive fishing system. Kanya's questline offers valuable rewards while teaching players the intricacies of different fishing techniques.

Quest 1 – Fishing: Life, in Microcosm : The first quest serves as a tutorial, requiring you to catch any fish using your basic fishing rod. Head to any water body near the Scarlet Forest Base Camp and equip your rod from the item menu. Cast your line where you see ripples in the water, then press the action button when you feel a bite. This simple quest familiarizes you with the fishing mechanics while Kanya explains the importance of fishing for both research and culinary purposes in the game world.

Quest 2 – Seeking the Goldenfish : For this challenge, you'll need to catch the elusive Goldenfish hidden in Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. Look behind the waterfall to discover a hidden cave with a secluded pool – the Goldenfish's preferred habitat. Equip the Golden Bughead bait provided by Kanya to increase your chances. These rare fish are distinguishable by their brilliant golden coloration and prefer dark, underground pools lacking direct sunlight. Patient reeling with minimal movement once you feel a bite is crucial for success.

Quest 3 – Fishing for Flavor : The third quest sends you in search of the Gravid Bowfin, found in Area 13 of the Windward Plains. This fish only appears at the oasis during the Plenty season in daylight hours. Equip the Emerald Jitterbait and employ a slow reeling technique with occasional jigging movements to entice this picky fish. The Gravid Bowfin requires precise timing – when it bites, wait a moment before setting the hook to ensure it's properly caught. This quest tests your mastery of more advanced fishing techniques.

Quest 4 – The Catch of a Lifetime! : This challenging quest requires catching a "Whopper" class fish – substantially larger variants like the Gajau, Gastronome Tuna, Great Trevally, or Speartuna. Head to Area 17 in the Scarlet Forest, specifically the Great Lake Shore. Equip the Tough Joint Bait to attract these massive specimens. Catching Whoppers demands perfect mastery of the fishing minigame, including careful line tension management and strategic reeling to prevent them from breaking free during their powerful struggles.

Quest 5 – Razzle Dazzle : The final quest challenges you to catch the bioluminescent Grand Escunite. This unique nautilus-like creature can be found in Areas 8, 12, or 17 of the Scarlet Forest, with best results during nighttime and the Plenty season. Equip the Tentacle Jig bait and use slow, gentle reeling to attract this exotic specimen. The Grand Escunite has distinctive movement patterns that require precise timing to hook successfully. Its glowing appearance makes it easier to spot in darker water conditions.

Mastering the Art of Fishing – Rewards & Tips : Completing Kanya's fishing questline rewards you with valuable items including unique decorative elements for your hunter's quarters, special ingredients for powerful meal buffs, and the coveted Master Angler Set – specialized gear that improves fishing success rates. Advanced fishing techniques like "setting the hook" (timing the strike perfectly) and "playing the fish" (managing tension during the fight) become essential for catching rarer species. Remember that weather conditions, time of day, and seasons significantly impact fish availability throughout Monster Hunter Wilds.
