While most monsters are easy enough to see, the Endemic Life creatures offer a challenge through their smaller sizes. The Dapperwing, in particular, will be hard to spot, especially in the vast greenery of Scarlet Forest. Find out where to find the Dapperwing inMonster Hunter Wilds.
All Dapperwing locations in Monster Hunter Wilds
The Dapperwing can be found inZones 2 and 3 at Scarlet Forest. Unlike the Tracktail Lizard from Dareel’s Research Report quest, you’ll likely need to look up to see them flying around. They’ll be pretty challenging to spot as their green coloring blends in with the surrounding vegetation. However, you’re able to sometimes take notice of their vibrant color palette when they’re trying to court a female (they almost look like birds with a tail.)
I’ve generally found them sitting on tree branches and vines near water, but you may be able to locate them elsewhere. If they are too high up, I suggest aiming your Capture Net at them and moving for a better angle. When ready for a shot, the net’s capture radius will illuminate yellow, so try to hit that sweet spot.
If it doesn’t work, you’ll likely need to travel to another area or wait for the Dapperwing to move. I’ve noticed that multiple groups tend to spawn around each compatible zone, giving you more chances. Once you’ve captured the creature, go to Samin in the Windward Plains’ Base Camp. You only need one to complete the Samin’s Research Project quest, but you can collect more to farm additional Guild points.
Samin will reward you with crafting materials, including 10 Blue Mushrooms and five Honey. You’ll use Honey often to conjure up Mega Potions and Blue Mushrooms for boosted effects. You can also collect more Endemic Life creatures for theMonster Hunter Wildscollection. Scarlet Forest showcases plenty of critters within this class, including Vigormantle Bug, Paratoad, and Wedge Beetle. Acquire them to gather more research and Guild points for your group.
