To capture monsters in Monster Hunter Rise, players need to weaken them first by using traps and tranquilizer bombs. When the monster is weak enough, place a trap and lure them into it. Then, throw tranquilizer bombs to capture the monster without defeating it. Follow the on-screen prompts for successful capture.
Preparing for the Hunt
Before setting out to capture monsters in Monster Hunter Rise, it's crucial to be well-prepared. This means ensuring you have the right weapons, traps, and items in your inventory. Make sure you have some Tranq Bombs and traps such as Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps. Also, don't forget to bring along materials for crafting more items in case you run out during the hunt. It's also important to know the monster's weaknesses and behaviors to maximize your chances of success in capturing them.
Tracking the Monster
To capture a monster, first, you need to find it. Track the monster by looking for clues such as footprints, mucus, or markings on the ground. Use your Scoutflies to follow the monster's trail and locate its current location. Pay attention to any changes in the environment that may indicate the monster's presence nearby. Once you have tracked the monster, approach it carefully to avoid spooking it and making it flee.
Engaging in Combat
When engaging a monster, be mindful of whether your goal is to capture it rather than defeat it. Begin the fight by weakening the monster, breaking its parts, and causing it to become fatigued. Use environmental traps and your weapon's special attacks to incapacitate the monster without killing it. Pay close attention to the monster's behavior, as capturing a monster requires a different approach than slaying it.
Trapping the Monster
Once the monster is weakened and ready for capture, it's time to set a trap. Place a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap in an area where the monster is likely to walk into it. You can also use items such as Tranq Bombs to put the monster to sleep temporarily. When the monster is trapped, quickly throw Tranq Bombs at it to capture it before the effects wear off. Be careful not to attack the monster once it's in the trap, as this may lead to accidentally killing it instead of capturing it.
Securing the Capture
After successfully trapping the monster and throwing Tranq Bombs at it, you should receive a notification that the capture was successful. You can then carve materials from the captured monster and return to the village or hub area. Make sure to speak to the Resource Center or the quest giver to fully complete the capture quest and receive your rewards. Capturing monsters in Monster Hunter Rise can be a challenging but rewarding experience, providing unique materials and opportunities for progression in the game.
