Eight trophies, six chapters and three rank caps

The eight story trophies are hidden and none can be missed. They pop when you complete the last mission of each chapter, and from chapter 4 the game halts the story until you raise your Hunter Rank: 20 to close chapter 4, 33 for chapter 5 and 40 for chapter 6. That rank goes up by hunting and doing side missions, which also count for the platinum.

The most confusing point is Bringer of Harmony (70.6%): after you kill Zoh Shia the credits roll, but it is the end of Low Rank, not of the game. Between that trophy and the last, One Corner of the World (59.7%), 11 points are lost.

What to do along the way

Chapter 1. In the mission A Hunter's Pride, the alpha Doshaguma leading the pack always has a gold crown: look at it through the Binoculars before the fight and you get A Keen-eyed Observation (22.2%) on top of Giant Crown. After that mission you can already customise your Seikret.

From the start, as a pair. If you have someone to play with, doing the story with a single partner advances both the 100 multiplayer quests and the 100 Palico quests at once. With three or more, the Palico stays at camp.

Chapter 4. New Ecosystems teaches capturing, and Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns opens tempered monsters and Artian weapons. From here on, do every side mission that appears: there are more than 30, but they open gradually.

Chapter 5. A World Turned Upside Down locks every region in Inclemency and does not let you rest until it is done. Do not plan anything else while it lasts.

Fact

Of those who finish the story, fewer than one in eleven take the platinum: 59.7% against 5.3%. Finishing chapter 6 is, in practice, half the journey.

Other Monster Hunter Wilds guides

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 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.
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.
