The firsts: the steak, the Focus Strike and the menus nobody opens

Eight easy trophies the game never teaches: the well-done steak sits at 39.7% and customising a camp at 51.1%. Where each one is and the detail that trips people up.

Mounting, sneak attacks and the Focus Strike

The Bigger They Are... (81.5%): jump from your Seikret onto a large monster. The trophy pops when you dismount, not when you climb on.

Hunter-Assassin (70.4%): approach from behind a monster that has not seen you, crouched and with your weapon sheathed; with the weapon drawn the prompt never appears.

Hit 'Em Where It Hurts! (69.2%) is the misleading one: it asks for 50 Focus Strikes — the special attack launched from Focus Mode — on wounds or weak points. Hitting normally with the mode active does not count. Wounds show in red when the mode is active; on tempered monsters, scars open into blue wounds that also count.

The grill, the camps and the Seikret

Was It a Meal to Remember? (78.8%) comes with any meal on the BBQ Grill. Mmm, So Tasty! (39.7%), half of that, is the steak: you need Raw Meat from small monsters, choose to grill meat and press once your hunter has flipped it and it is golden brown. Pressing early or late ruins it.

Campmaster (59.2%) asks for Pop-up Camps in 10 places, with the Camping Kit or by asking the Palico at base camp. Glamper (51.1%) is changing anything on one by talking to the support Palico, and Ride-or-die Companion (67.1%) is changing a Seikret colour in the tent's appearance menu. Both pop when you save, not when you open the menu.

Fact

Resting at the grill or in the tent changes the region's time and weather: it is the trick behind endemic life, fishing, apex predators and crowns.

The 52 crowns: which monsters count and how to cut the hunt short
Crowns are the Monster Hunter Wilds platinum: the two Master trophies sit at 6.5% and 6.1%, one step from the platinum's 5.3%. The 26 monsters that count, the ones that do not, and the shortcuts that turn weeks into afternoons.
100 multiplayer quests and 100 Palico quests: how to stack them
The five social trophies, four of them online. The two-player rule that moves two 100-quest counters at once, why the SOS Flare does not help and the two menu trophies almost nobody opens.
The story, chapter by chapter: the credits are not the end
The eight story trophies, all hidden, with the mission that awards each, the Hunter Rank each one needs and what to do along the way. From 91.3% for the first to 59.7% for the last.
The 30 side missions and the ones that ask you to catch endemic life
East to West, A Hunter Never Rests sits at 36.3%, half of the first side mission. How they unlock, which quest types count towards the 50 and where to find every creature Dareel, Samin and the Palico ask for.
Fishing, endemic life and rare items: the platinum's second wall
A-fish-ionado, 30 whoppers, sits at 7.7%: rarer than Hunter Rank 100 and the apex predators. Kanya's chain, the baits, the coin crab, the Sandstar and the ten Rarity 6 items.
Hunter Rank 100, tempered monsters, captures and gear: one hunt that counts five times
Nine endgame routine trophies, from the 56.1% of Monster Slayer to the 21.6% of the 50 apex predators. The order they open in and how to pick hunts that count for several at once.
