And voila, monster captured! Pitfall Trap Once the trap procs, you won’t have any problem. So, before you put the trap down, throw down two Tranq Bombs while the monster is sleeping so that you’ll have an easier time capturing it. There’s the Tobi Kadachi, a Thunder-creature, in which because of its element shortens the amount of time its trapped in the Shock Trap. One being Elder Dragons because of their immunity to traps. Unfortunately, there are some creatures that are not so easily captured by this. The Shock Trap traps any kind of creature regardless of weight unlike the Pitfall Trap which requires the creature to be heavy. However, the ease of deployment doesn’t mean it will trap the creature as long as the Pitfall Trap. It’s easy to make, easy to farm for and most of all, easy to deploy. Shock Traps are everyone’s go-to for capturing monsters. So, I’m gonna walk you guys through each tool to make sure everyone gets it.

Well, for starters, you have more materials to work with in comparison to just whacking them silly. This requires one to deploy a trap (either the Pitfall Trap or the Shock Trap) in order to trap them and bring them home. However, other creatures don’t have that problem and you can easily cut the battle short by capturing them. So, for those who need Elder Dragon materials, you’ll have to grind your way through it instead of capturing monsters.
Unfortunately though, it doesn’t work on Elder Dragons. Capturing works very handy especially against regular creatures and tempered creatures. What is Capturing?Ĭapturing monsters in Monster Hunter World require a deployment of traps and controlled damage. And personally, I found capturing to be more rewarding. So, there are two ways to go around this: either you slaughter them to death or you capture them. In fact, it’s not the weapon I’m here to talk about rather the method of hunting. Now you’re probably wondering: “It’s Monster Hunter, you’re supposed to be killing monsters! That’s why I forged this big buster sword to go hack and slash! Not capturing monsters!”īut hold on.
