Revealed: The Secret Location to Catch the Elusive Goldenfish in Monster Hunter Wilds!
In Monster Hunter Wilds, as indicated by its title, the main objective is capturing and vanquishing monsters. However, there are other types of hunting in the game too. By conversing with Kanya at the Scarlet Forest base camp, players can acquire fishing skills and embark on a sequence of unique fishing side quests.
Finding the elusive Goldenfish is among these tasks, and you can initiate it by chatting with Kanya at your convenience following the completion of the fishing tutorial in Monster Hunter Wilds. Upon meeting her again, she presents players with a unique lure and asks them to catch a Goldenfish. She even offers some helpful tips about possible locations for finding one.
Where to Find a Goldenfish in Monster Hunter Wilds (Goldenfish Location)
Kanya points out that Goldenfish prefer to dwell in darkened pools shunned by the sun’s rays, and advises players to search for them subterranean. Consequently, the optimal location to find them is an underground pool situated in Area 8 of the Scarlet Forest. The entrance to this particular pool is concealed behind a waterfall located north of marker number 8, which is nestled in the northeastern sector of the region.
