How to Farm Specific Monster Crowns

Use Wounded Hollow Farming Method

Wounded Hollow.

If you are looking to get a crown-size encounter for a specific monster, you can use the Wounded Hollow method to reroll the active monster's size. You can then use this to farm for gold crowns for all monsters that can appear in the arena.

Do note that this method only works for monsters in the Wounded Hollow, and does not work on other locales.

1
Head to Wounded Hollow and check the active monster.
2
Use your Binoculars to determine if you already have a gold crown-sized monster.
3
If it's not a gold-crown sized monster, fast travel to Suja, Peaks of Accord and rest in your tent, then head back to Wounded Hollow. This will reroll the active monster's size, but the monster will not be changed.
4
Check the monster's size again with your Binoculars. Repeat Step 3 if you still did not get a gold crown one.
5 If you get a gold crown-sized monster, you can save the target as a quest. You can even share it with other hunters in our Crown Quest Sharing Board!

There are several monsters that you can encounter in the Wounded Hollow. The monsters listed above can appear in the arena, so you'll be able to attempt to check if they are crown-sized.

Do note that the Apex monsters do not show up in the Wounded Hollow, so you'll have to naturally encounter them.

Monster List

How to Farm Gold Crowns

  1. Explore the Area
  2. Check Other Areas
  3. Fast Travel and Rest
  4. Fight the Monster or Create a Quest

Explore the Area

To find monsters with Gold Crowns, simply explore the map until you encounter one. Since spawns are random, checking all present monsters is the only way to spot them.

Use Your Binoculars to Check Gold Crowns

You can check if a monster has a Gold Crown by using the Binoculars. This is a fixed item that you can use at any time during your progress.

How to Use Binoculars

Check Other Areas

All Locations
Monster Hunter Wilds - Windward Plains Icon Windward Plains Monster Hunter Wilds - Scarlet Forest Icon Scarlet Forest Monster Hunter Wilds - Oilwell Basin Icon Oilwell Basin
Monster Hunter Wilds - Iceshard Cliffs Icon Iceshard Cliffs Monster Hunter Wilds - Ruins of Wyveria Icon Ruins of Wyveria

If you can't find anything in the current area, move to another and continue exploring and scanning monsters. Check all areas, and if you're lucky, you’ll find a large monster with a Gold Crown.

Fast Travel and Rest to Change Time

Rest

If you can't find any Gold Crowns in any location, fast travel back to a base camp to rest. This will reroll the spawns the next day, increasing the chances of monsters carrying Gold Crowns.

How to Change Time

Fight the Monster or Create a Quest

Once you located a monster with a Gold Crown, you can turn it into a quest from the map. This is a great way to fight the monster with other hunters, as larger monsters are typically harder to defeat.

If you're playing offline, go ahead and fight it. But if it gets too difficult, you can call support characters instead. After getting the Gold Crown, go back to step one and repeat the process.

Should You Hunt for Silver Crowns?

Skip Silver Crown Monsters

If you're quickly aiming to get the trophies related to gold crown monsters, you can skip hunting those with silver crowns as these are only tied to one achievement. You will also get the achievement if you encounter a gold crown monster first, so there's no need to waste time hunting silver crowns if you are in a rush.

Silver crown sizes are also recorded in your Monster Encyclopedia, but are replaced once you encounter gold crown-sizes.
