How to Beat and Capture Quematrice In Monster Hunter Wilds

Ready to take on the fiery Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? Don't let its flames and meat-stealing antics scare you away. We've got you covered with a comprehensive guide on how to exploit its weaknesses, master effective strategies, dodge its dangerous attacks, and even capture this formidable foe.

How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Quematrice, a giant chicken-like beast reminiscent of the Cockatrice, is a mid-sized monster that primarily uses fire-based attacks. Here's what you need to know:

Weaknesses: Water is your best friend against the Quematrice. Its susceptibility to water-based attacks makes them highly effective in bringing it down.

Resistances: None noted, giving you a broad range of options to exploit.

Immunities: Be aware that Sonic Bombs won't affect the Quematrice, so don't waste them.

Given its size, most weapons can be effective, but consider using ranged weapons if you're less confident in close combat. The Quematrice's attacks often affect the area around it, so keeping your distance can be advantageous.

Notable Attacks: Watch out for its tail strikes and sweeps, which can deal significant damage, especially the tail slam. This attack sees the Quematrice lift its tail high before slamming it down. Sidestepping or blocking can help you avoid damage.

The real danger comes from its fire-based attacks. These not only cause immediate damage but can also set you on fire, leading to continuous health drain, and ignite the ground. The Quematrice can launch a fire attack in front of it after rearing its head and roaring, or perform a full sweep after lifting its head and tail, engulfing everything around it in flames. It can also combine this with a charging attack, turning at the last moment to hurl fire at you. If you're at range, start moving backward as soon as you see these moves to avoid the flames.

How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Quematrice requires preparation and timing. You'll need a Shock Trap and a Pitfall Trap, along with at least two Tranq Bombs. While one trap is technically enough, having a backup is crucial in *Monster Hunter* games, especially if the Quematrice flees or another monster interferes.

Once the Quematrice is weakened to the point of limping, or you notice the skull icon on the mini-map, it's time to set your trap. For simplicity, wait until it has moved to a new area after limping. Place your trap, lure the Quematrice into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to secure your capture.
