When reaching Monster Hunter Wilds' endgame, the Ruins of Wyveria will no longer be used as a fast travel point. It'll lock you out of specific regional content, including upgrade items and mission features. To avoid this, we'll show you how to return to Wyveria. How to unlock Wyveria in MH Wilds Chapter 4 The only way to return to the Ruins of Wyveria is by reaching Hunter Rank 20 or participating in Optional Quests within this region. Since Hunter Rank 20 takes up a lot of your time, you can initially use the Optional Quest method to farm wanted materials. Speak to Alma and select any of the following missions based in Wyveria: Consumer of Void: Hunt the Xu Wu Red Eyes in the Night: Hunt the Guardian Ebony Odogaron His Eternal Reign: Hunt the Guardian Rathalos Pallid Beast's Lament: Hunt the Guardian Doshaguma Spread Those Wings: Slay six Guardian Seikret Once you've started one of the Optional Quests above, you'll find yourself within the Ruins of Wyveria. However, this access is not permanent. Use your time wisely to gather the necessary materials for upgrades or crafting. Once you've completed your tasks, you'll be returned to Base Camp, and the temporary access to Wyveria will be closed until your next mission. Screenshot by Destructoid Given that the Optional Quests only give you access to Wyveria for a limited time, you can work your way up to Hunter Rank 20 to unlock it without this restriction. Triumph in side missions and monster takedowns to get closer to this level. After you've reached this rank, you'll unlock the Chapter 4-3 Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns. You'll be taken back to Wyveria, unlocking full access to this region. You can grab items like the Milky Cocoon Web and the Origin Wylk Gems, which are only found in the Ruins of Wyveria. In addition to these resources, you'll find the Guardian Seikret Feathers, helping you craft Hunter Armor sets and Talismans.

The NPC Kanya has boatloads of fishing quests, starting from the early chapters to the endgame stages. During the Fishing for Flavor quest, she'll ask you to find the Gravid Bowfin, and we're here to show you how to catch it in Monster Hunter Wilds. Where to find Gravid Bowfin in MH Wilds Based on Kanya's hints, you can find Gravid Bowfins during the morning and nighttime. You can also set the Environment to 'Plenty' if you have reached far enough in your Hunter rank (when you unlock resting in the endgame). Travel to the following areas to acquire the Gravid Bowfin in Monster Hunter Wilds: Scarlet Forest: Zones 1 and 3 Windward Plains: Zone 10 and 13 (Oasis) Iceshard Cliffs: Icy Shores (Area 1) Ruins of Wyveria: Zone 13 (Hidden Cave) Since Gravid Bowfin is extremely rare, the locations above won't always guarantee a spawn. Many players, including myself, have had the best chances in Windward Plains' Oasis and Scarlet Forest' Base Camp. I've seen plenty of Gravid Bowfins spawn here, as long as you have the correct time. Additionally, if things don't go as planned, you can rest again to reset the fish in the area. Image by Destructoid You're looking for a fish with noticeable scales displaying light coral head scales. It's also pretty long compared to other critters. Screenshot by Destructoid How to catch a Gravid Bowfin quickly in MH Wilds (Fishing for Flavor quest) Of all the fishes in Monster Hunter Wilds, the Gravid Bowfin is one of the most challenging ones to catch. You'll notice that it often gets scared off easily, primarily when you perform the standard left-to-right movement. The quickest way to catch the Gravid Bowfin is to reel in the Emerald Jitterbait slowly. To do this, console players must perform a circular motion on their left stick, while PC users can tap between the W and S keys. Screenshot by Destructoid Place your lure in the Gravid Bowfin's line of sight and gradually reel it in. You'll need a lot of room to do this procedure, so ensure to cast it far away. When you start reeling it in, it should get the critter's attention with the Emerald Jitterbait. Kanya provides you with this bait during the Seeking the Goldenfish quest (one of the early fishing missions). Although acquiring a Gravid Bowfin with your Capture Net is easier, you can't use it for the Fishing for Flavor side quest. You can only complete this mission by using your Fishing Rod and nothing else. However, if you've already achieved this task, you can use the net to capture them faster. Once you've caught the critter, return to Scarlet Forest and report to Kanya. You'll receive five Jeweled Mullet Roe and five Honey for your efforts. The Jeweled Mullet Roe, in particular, is an excellent fishing touch you can add to your meal recipes. You'll also earn 100 Guild Points, giving you more chances to change the time and set up more Pop Up Camps.
