Where To Find Goliath Squid in Monster Hunter Wilds
The Goliath Squid, also referred to as the Giant Squid, can be found in the Great Lake Shore in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Due to its size, it is classified as a Whopper Fish. This region is known for being the wetlands where you encounter Uth Duna at the conclusion of the Chapter 1 story quest.
Another additional piece of information you need to know is that this aquatic creature only appears during nighttime. This means you will have to wait until then if you want to catch this squid. On the bright side, this creature glows in the dark so you can easily spot it. Furthermore, the spawn rate of this squid is not affected by weather conditions. This means the myths surrounding downpours caused by Uth Duna increasing its appearance are unfounded. Players can reliably find the Giant Squid as long as they fish at night.
If you want to catch a Goliath Squid, you need to equip a Tentacle Jig bait. However, alternatives like the Tuff Joint can also work.
