In the game Monster Hunter Wilds, obtaining a trap is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance — you can find one while clearing certain locations, or simply craft it, which is even easier. With the shock trap, you can handle monsters of almost any size.

Here’s what you’ll need to craft the trap:

  • trap tool
  • thunderbug electrolyte

Where to find a trap tool?
This tool is required in 90% of cases when you decide to craft a trap. You can buy it from supply merchants in the base camp for 200 Zenny each. The merchants’ inventory updates daily.

How to find thunderbug electrolyte?

Very easy — the name itself gives a clue: you can obtain it from a thunderbug, which lives in the Windy Plains location. The highest concentration of these bugs can be found in the following areas:

  • Zone 1
  • Zone 3
  • North part of Zone 2

Now you can safely go gather resources and craft a shock trap that will make your monster hunting a bit easier.
