The Quematrice, a large chicken-like monster reminiscent of a Cockatrice, primarily attacks with fire. While most weapons are effective against it, its area-of-effect attacks may favor ranged weapons for less experienced hunters.
Quematrice Attacks to Avoid:
While its tail strikes and sweeps can inflict damage, the most potent attack is its powerful tail slam. This involves raising its tail high before slamming it down. Sidestepping or blocking effectively counters this. However, its fire attacks are the most dangerous, inflicting direct damage and potentially setting you ablaze, causing additional health loss and potentially igniting the ground.
These fire attacks lack a clear tell. One involves rearing its head, roaring, and flinging a flame from its tail. Another is a full sweep after a head and tail raise, engulfing the surrounding area in fire. It can also incorporate this fire attack into a charging attack, running towards you before unleashing a fiery turn. For ranged hunters, retreating is the best defense during this charge.
How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Quematrice requires preparation. Bring a Shock Trap, a Pitfall Trap, and at least two Tranq Bombs. While one trap suffices, a backup is crucial in case of escape or interference from other monsters.
Once the Quematrice is significantly weakened (indicated by limping or a fading skull icon on the mini-map), lay a trap. Ideally, wait until it moves to a new area after limping. Lure it into the trap, then deploy two Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
