"Mastering Quematrice Defeat and Capture in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Are you gearing up to take on the formidable Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds* but worried about getting scorched and losing your meat? Don't fret, brave hunter! We've got you covered with all the info you need to not just defeat but also capture this fiery beast. Let's dive into its weaknesses, effective strategies, dangerous attacks to dodge, and the best ways to capture it.

How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Quematrice, a giant chicken-like creature inspired by the Cockatrice, is a mid-sized monster that mainly uses fire-based attacks. Here’s what you need to know:

• Weaknesses: Water
• Resistances: N/A
• Immunities: Sonic Bomb

Since the Quematrice is a mid-sized monster, most weapons are effective against it. However, its area-based attacks might make ranged weapons more appealing to less confident hunters.

Watch out for its notable attacks:

• Tail Attacks: The tail slam is the most damaging, particularly when you're positioned behind it. The Quematrice raises its tail high before slamming it down. Sidestepping or blocking can save you from damage.
• Fire Attacks: These are particularly dangerous as they can set you on fire, causing ongoing health drain and igniting the ground. The Quematrice has a few fire-based moves:
  • A frontal fire attack where it rears its head, roars, and flings fire from its tail.
  • A sweeping fire attack after roaring and lifting its head and tail, affecting everything around it.
  • A charging attack where it runs towards you, turns at the last moment, and flings fire. If you're at a distance, start moving backward to avoid this.

How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Quematrice requires the right gear and timing. Here’s what you need:

• Shock Trap
• Pitfall Trap
• At least two Tranq Bombs

While you only need one trap, bringing a backup is wise, especially if the Quematrice flees or another monster triggers it.

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