A monster’s size can often dictate how strong it is in Monster Hunter Wilds. Gold crown monsters in particular are quite dangerous. We’ll go over the best methods to get the gold crown and miniature crown in Monster Hunter Wilds.

There are a total of 29 monsters in and out of these, 26 of them come with large gold crowns and smaller miniature crowns. You can check the successfully hunted monsters and their sizes from your field guide. The silver crown indicates a monster’s second largest size, while a gold crown indicates that the hunted monster had the largest size possible for its species.

Getting all 52 crowns has been a difficult task in previous Monster Hunter games. However, there’s a neat little trick in Monster Hunter Wilds that lets you complete this grueling grind within a matter of hours.

You can use the Binoculars from your item pouch like any other item, and once you’re close enough to a monster, it’ll show a crown under that monster’s name. This will let you know if the monster has a gold crown or if it’s just a miniature crown monster. If you spot the crown, you can open the region map, check the monster list, and then mark that specific monster for future investigations.
