Alright, hunters—grab your fishing rod and take a break from hunting monsters the size of small mountains because it’s time to jump into the wild world of Monster Hunter Wilds fishing once again. If you’ve wrapped up Kanya’s Seeking the Goldenfish quest and cleared the New Ecosystems section in Chapter 4, congrats—you’ve unlocked your next side mission: Fishing for Flavor. This time, your target isn’t a giant wyvern or a crab with attitude. No. It’s the Gravid Bowfin mhwilds, a chonky orange-brown fish that looks like it’s seen some things. But don’t worry—it’s a lot easier to catch than it sounds once you know what you’re doing.

Where to Find the Gravid Bowfin (No Long Journey Needed)

Here’s the good news—you don’t have to hike across scorching sands or icy tundras to find the Monster Hunter Wilds Gravid Bowfin. You don’t even need to leave camp. This juicy fish can be found right next to Kanya in the Scarlet Forest base camp, chilling in a small body of water like it owns the place. Just head toward the far end of the cave and start scouting. The MH Wilds Gravid Bowfin is orangey-brown, so it stands out a bit, especially if you’re keeping a sharp eye. Can’t spot one? No stress. Just fast travel back to the camp or take a nap at the hunter’s tent and try again. It’ll spawn eventually—fish don’t work on your schedule, after all.

What Lure to Use (Yes, It Matters)

You’re not catching a Gravid Bowfin MH Wilds with any ol’ bait. This fish has class—it’s all about the Emerald Jitterbait.

Emerald Jitterbait

• The name says it all. This thing sparkles, it shakes, and the Bowfin loves it.
• To use it right, you’ve gotta jiggle it. No, seriously—jiggle that line like it owes you zenny. Here’s the rhythm: once your line’s in the water, start wiggling it side to side. It’s like fishing and interpretive dance had a baby. When the Bowfin sees that emerald shine and seductive jiggle, it’ll come in for a bite.

How to Actually Catch It (Wiggle, Nibble, Win)

Once the Gravid Bowfin takes the bait, don’t panic—it’s not going to bite your fingers off. Here's what you do:

• Cast the line using the Emerald Jitterbait.
• Jiggle the line gently back and forth.
• Watch closely for the Bowfin to react—once it starts to swim toward the lure and takes a nibble, it’s game time.
• Reel it in! No fishing mini-game here, just a clean grab-and-go. Easy, smooth, and oddly satisfying. You’ll have that fish flopping in your pouch in no time.

What You Get for Your Fishy Trouble

Once you’ve reeled in your glorious Gravid Bowfin, take a few steps over to Kanya and show off your catch. She’ll be properly impressed—after all, you just fed her favorite craving. Here’s what she gives you in return: Rewards for Catching Gravid Bowfin:

• 3x Jeweled Mullet Roe (fancy fish eggs = fancy rewards)
• 5x Honey (you know, for all your Mega Potion needs)
• 100 Guild Points (always nice to bump that Hunter Rank a little) Is it the most loot you’ve ever gotten from a side quest? Nah. But it’s fast, it’s fun, and it makes you feel like the king or queen of the fishing hole.
