It seems like you’re quite fond of fishing, doesn’t it? After all, there’s a reason why this pastime is so popular and often incorporated as a mini-game in numerous video games. And let me tell you, Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t left out either! You’ll find plenty of opportunities to fish here, and you’ll even come across a rather quirky fishing companion who shares your passion for angling.
It appears that Kanya’s passion for fish is unmatched, it’s almost as if they are the center of her world. Now that you’ve become acquainted with her and learned some fishing basics, she’s given you a test – Catch for her some true gold in liquid form. It’s not overly difficult, but to succeed, you need to know where to search first.
How To Start The Seeking The Goldenfish Quest
Kanya has returned to the Scarlet Forest Base Camp, and once it’s completely established, her missions can begin. After finishing her initial mission, which teaches you the essential fishing techniques, another of her tasks pops up, giving you an opportunity to put those skills into practice.
She’s located at the most remote part of the campsite, where she’s peacefully angling in the tiny pond. Today, her request of you is the Goldenfish. Frankly, isn’t anything more precious than a fish adorned with shimmering gold scales?
As an ardent admirer, let me share that these enchanting Goldenfish possess scales that resemble gold when caught. Interestingly, these scales are worth quite a fortune!
Best Areas To Find A Goldenfish

In every part of the game, you can encounter the Goldenfish, but since most of Kanya’s fishing tasks are concentrated in the Scarlet Forest which teems with various life forms, particularly aquatic ones, that’s where we’ll focus our search for the Goldenfish. However, feel free to explore other areas if you prefer.
According to Kanya’s guidance and the quest instructions, Goldenfish prefer cooler, dimly lit environments, which are typically caves. There are numerous caves scattered throughout the Scarlet Forest, but the one that is most frequently filled and easiest to access is located in Area 12, south of the Wudwud Hideout. Simply journey south from it and venture into the cave hidden behind the waterfall.
Best Bait To Use For A Goldenfish

Initially in the game, you started with only one type of bait, the Common Wood Minnow. It’s beneficial because it can lure various types of fish, but be mindful that it might not catch the immediate attention of a particular fish due to its sluggish nature. To help you out, Kanya provides you with additional bait as part of this quest: the Golden Bughead and the Emerald Jitterbait.
Today we’ll be utilizing “The Golden Bughead” – here’s how: Keep the L1/LB pressed while the Fishing Rod is extended, and scroll to it just like you switch Bow Coatings. Once aimed and cast, the goldenfish will swiftly move towards the bait as soon as they sense it nearby.
As a bonus, you may stumble upon some Goldenfry too. While they aren’t essential for your purpose, you can still trade their dropped materials.
Give the fishing rod a gentle nudge if you want to draw the fish towards it, and bring the bait nearer to lure them. Once they take the bait, simply reel them in. Bring them to Kanya to finish the quest, and be ready for her hearty congratulations.
