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.
How to Catch a Goldenfish in Monster Hunter Wilds


To catch a Goldenfish in Monster Hunter Wilds, players should first draw out their fishing rod and then press and hold either the L1 (PlayStation) or LB (Xbox) button to display the Lure menu. Subsequently, they’ll need to use the face buttons shown on-screen to select the Golden Bughead lure. After that, all you have to do is search for a gold-colored fish in the pool and cast the lure close by. Once the fish shows interest and takes a bite, just reel in the line.
Seeking the Goldenfish Quest Rewards

After landing a prized Goldenfish, I found myself making my way back to Kanya’s base camp. With a warm smile, she praised my catch and suggested selling it at the provisioner’s for a handsome profit. The talk concluded, I received a completed quest status, earning me not only some experience points but also 50 Guild Points. Topping off these rewards were three Whetfish Fins, five Honey, and more experience to boost my character even further!
