Gravid bowfins in Monster Hunter Wilds are aquatic life you’ll want to catch as part of a quest chain.
Specifically, you’ll fish for them in “Fishing for Flavor,” a quest given to you by Kanya at the Scarlet Forest base camp. This is the third of her side missions after catching your first fish and then a goldenfish.
Our Monster Hunter Wilds guide will tell you where to find gravid bowfin locations and how to catch them.
Where to find gravid bowfin locations in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you’re really lucky, a gravid bowfin location will spawn right in the pond where Kanya is fishing and you won’t have to travel at all. You’re looking for the orange-gold fish that have a slightly armored head.
That said, Gravid bowfins can (hypothetically) be found in every region, but it’s just a question of whether or not they spawn when you’re there. Know they seem to be most common in the evening (and setting the environment to plenty never hurts).
Here are some waypoints that are worth trying:
If you don’t luck out in Windswept Plains or Scarlet Forest, we recommend heading to the Area 8: Gap in Rubble in the Ruins of Wyveria. We found several there on our first visit. Just be prepared to fish your way through every other (greedy) fish first.
How to catch a gravid bowfin in Monster Hunter Wilds
Gravid bowfins go for the emerald jiggerbait, but they’re a little finicky about it — they only go for the lure when it’s moving.
When you spot a gravid bowfin, cast your lure past where they’ll be and start reeling it in slowly by moving the left thumbstick up and down. You can pause your reeling occasionally and mix in a jerk by pressing down on the left thumbstick. Just keep reeling slowly even as the bowfin takes an interest in the lure.
Once you’ve caught a gravid bowfin, return to Kanya to complete the quest. From there, you’ll be tasked with finding a “whopper.”
