4 Monster Hunter Wilds - Report Back to Werner
When you return from the optional quest, report back to Werner in the Ruins of Wyveria in Area 6 and finish his dialog to complete this side mission.

Lure a Monster to Werner

Once inside, you can lure any monster to Werner to accomplish this first optional objective. Since the main target is the Guardian Doshaguma, it's better to choose it as the target to lure.

Try Out Werner’s Multi-Stage Explosive

Monster Hunter Wilds - Try out Werner

Lure the target to the explosives that Werner's Palico will lay out in the open.

The explosives don't have to be triggered by the monster, you can trigger the explosives yourself. This completes the optional objective, and also does significant damage to the monster if all the explosions hit.

CheckmarkUse Werner's multi-stage explosives to inflict significant damage.

CheckmarkTake advantage of its fire weakness and bring fire elemental weapons or fire ammunition.

CheckmarkFocus on the Forelegs, using Sever Damage will yield the highest damage

CheckmarkDodge to the Side, most of its attacks are focused on the front or side. This keeps you out of range for the claw and bite attacks and raises your chance of toppling the monster
