What are monster crowns in Monster Hunter Wilds?

In Monster Hunter Wilds, there are a grand total of 29 monstrous creatures. Among these, 26 of them sport large golden crowns and smaller, miniature versions. You can consult your field guide to verify the monsters you’ve hunted and their sizes. A silver crown signifies that the monster is just shy of its species’ maximum size, while a gold crown means the hunted monster reached the largest possible size for its kind.

Achieving all 52 crowns was quite a challenge in earlier Monster Hunter games. Yet, Monster Hunter Wilds offers an ingenious shortcut to conquer this tedious endeavor in just a few hours.

How to find gold crowns in Monster Hunter Wilds

In simpler terms, you can access the binoculars stored in your inventory like any other item. When you get near a creature, it will display a crown symbol beneath its name, indicating whether it’s a rare gold-crowned monster or just a smaller creature with a miniature crown. If you notice the crown, you can navigate to the region map, find the specific monster on the list, and mark it for future investigations.

Save Investigations

By preserving a grand beast, you unlock the opportunity to pursue and track that specific creature up to three times over as a quest given by Alma. Since each character can store three grand investigation quests for each beast, and then invite up to nine others to assist in completing these investigations, collaborative hunting for golden crowns becomes highly productive. Given you can save up to 50 investigations at once, it’s theoretically feasible for you to secure an investigation for nearly every monster with each crown size.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, a team of 2-3 diligent players collaborating on their investigations will effortlessly uncover all the gold and miniature crowns. Later, you can guide additional players smoothly during the entire collection phase by sharing your completed investigations.

Save abuse

You can simplify the process by monitoring when monsters appear in the game world, which allows you to manipulate their size. To do this, access the region map and inspect the timeline. Approximately 30 seconds prior to a specific monster disappearing from its current area, save your game. After waiting a couple of minutes for it to reappear, locate it using binoculars. If the newly-spawned monster doesn’t have the size you desire, simply quit the game without saving and try again. Keep in mind that the game records the monster’s spawn data but not its size, leading you to eventually encounter a monster with your preferred crown size. Alternatively, if you want to bypass waiting for a specific monster of a certain size, you can always return to your campsite (or the BBQ if you are high rank) and select the rest option to refresh the environment.

If you’re aiming for achievements and looking to save time, consider organizing a group of friends to join you in your quest for crowns. Working alone might prolong the process of gathering all crowns considerably. With a team, it’s possible to potentially complete them all within 10 hours if you have end-game equipment. By yourself, it could take up to 20-25 hours of gameplay.

If neither of these strategies appeals to you, consider exploring various online lobbies until you stumble upon the creature you’re searching for.

Here’s what you should takeaway regarding obtaining the gold crown and miniature crown in Monster Hunter World: That covers the essentials.
