Dapperwings inMonster Hunter Wildsare little birds you can catch during your adventure. They can be found in tricky spots, however, in this game’s open world. Here’s exactly where to find them lurking and how to catch them, so you can finish a few side quests for the civilians of this land.
Dapperwing Location
You can spot Dapperwings within the Crimson Forest biome ofMonster Hunter Wilds. Specifically, you’ll want to go toArea 2in the Forest that’s marked on the map. Keep following down the river from the 2 on the map. Nearby a tree, you’ll spot two Dapperwings hanging out on a weedy branch. They are green birds with wavy orange, blue, and green tails.
These animals are typically green match the vegetation of the forest. However, when it’s trying to please females, it turns into a vibrant color. The game says in the Dapperwing’s description that “the more flamboyant males with larger feathers seem to be the ones flapping away with a date.”
How to Capture Endemic Animals
To catch endemic animals inMonster Hunter Wilds, you’ll need to use the Capture Net. Hold down the left shoulder button if you’re using a controller and then scroll across the items on the bottom right with either the square or circle button (X and B on an Xbox controller). Select the Capture Net and then press square or X to equip it. Next, hold down the left trigger button and a white square should pop up on your screen. Get the animals inside this square, and it should turn orange. Once this occurs, press the right trigger button (R2 or RT) to fire the capture net. You’ll then gain a bunch of points for capturing an endemic animal like the Dapperwings.
How to Find The Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds
The illusive and mysterious Black Flame comes out of nowhere, but it’s your turn to track it down and put a stop to it.
A neat feature of the PS5 version of Monster Hunter Wilds is that the sound of each animal is blasted from the speakers of the DualSense. It’s unnecessary but cool all the same.
If the story doesn’t let you fast travel to different areas of the open world, you may still visit them during quests.
Unfortunately, you can’t capture bigger creatures without putting them to sleep. You’ll needSleep Herbs, which you can acquire from the Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest. With them, you can create Tranq Bombs and Sleep Ammo. By the way, if youcatch a creaturethat bears an ancient wyvern coin, you’ll get the A Prize Held High silver trophy. You can also get a bronze trophy for catching a giant squid while fishing.
