How to unlock the Capture Pro achievement in MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD - Definitive Guide
When they are in this state, get them in a trap (shock trap has worked well for me) and use a couple tranquilizer bombs on them. This will complete the capture.
Capturing monsters provides more rewards than killing, and cuts out the time of fighting a monster in their near-death state, where many can be even more powerful with attacks, so it's often the better way to go about finishing a hunt.
Important notes:
-When a teammate capture the monster, the whole team gets credit for the capture.
-You can progress with this achievement either in any type of quests/investigations/events or even in an expedition.
-Quests that require a capture will provide you with the items needed to do so. You can pick these up in the blue chest at the beginning of the quest.
How to get this achievement quickly:
I paired this achievement with the Hunter's Life for Me (Complete 50 optional quests).
1. Get to the quest board and under the Optional category, select the level 2 stars quest: "Snatch the Snatcher' where you need to capture a low-rank Kulu-Ya-Ku. (If you have unlocked this quest, try to talk to the Smart Biologist in Astera.
2. Start the quest and if you are high rank you don't need to eat or anything, I suggest bringing/crafting your own Shock Trap in order to always have 2 on you (When starting the quest, you can find 1 Shock Trap and 8 Tranq Bomb in the blue chest).
3. Follow the flies or track the Kulu-Ya-Ku (when you have a general idea where he is, you can always just run to the same spot as he will always spawn in the same place).
4. Weaken the monster but be careful, you are on a low rank quest and you will kill him quickly. For me a dual blade player, 3 combo was enough for a capture and 5 combo would kill him and fail the quest.
5. Once it's almost dead and you can see the skull on the minimap, drop the Shock Trap in front of it and use 2 Tranq Bomb. Voilà, you have completed an optional quest and a capture! (My average completion time was 1min45sec to 3min)
6. Select the option to go back to camp so you can save yourself some loading time. Once you are back at the camp, speak with the handler and accept the same quest.
7. Repeat step 1-6 to get both The Hunter's Life for Me and Capture Pro achievements.
Enjoy and if you have any questions, don't hesitate
-Don't try a capture until you see a skull on minimap
-Higher chance when they go to rest or just stand there panting
-Capture investigations will have EZ shock trap in the chest, this is an extra trap you can carry
-Make sure to have 1 shock, 1 net trap, and a bunch of tranq bombs
-My strategy is
A.If Awake drop shock/net trap first, then drop tranq bombs 2 seconds a part
B.if Asleep drop tranq first then shock/net
C.If it still isn't captured first then hit it a few times as the Hp threshold might be slightly high
You will learn how to capture monsters from an early optional quest via the Resource Center. Your first step is to make sure you have traps (Shock or Pitfall) and something to stun a monster with (Tranq Bomb or Tranq Ammo if you're using a ranged weapon). You can't capture a full-strength monster, so your the next step is to fight it normally and weaken it until it begins to run away with a visible limp. It will be moving more slowly and holding one leg up to protect it as it hobbles along (there are plenty of YouTube videos on capturing monsters, so search for one if you need help visualizing this). You will also see skulls radiating off its picture on the mini-map.
Once the monster is limping and running away, you will need to get in its path (or follow it until it stops somewhere to rest) and lay down your trap. You may need to attack it again to get it to follow you if it isn't already headed toward your trap, but once it hits the trap it will be immobilized. Then, throw a Tranq bomb at the monster, or shoot it with Tranq ammo or arrows with Tranq coating. These three things are required for a capture, and even though this is the usual order, they can technically be done in any order (such as tranqing the monster before immobilizing it).
You need to catch up with him and use one of the traps - a wolf pit or a shock trap (if the monster is not caught in a particular trap, perhaps he is immune to it).
As soon as the creature is trapped, you need to have time to throw 2 sleeping bombs at it (until it gets out).
That's it, profit. The monster has been caught. So 50 times.
