Tranq bombs are a hunting item in Monster Hunter Wilds that allow you to capture monsters instead of killing them.
Monster Hunter Wilds gives hunters the option to capture monsters without killing them. For certain quests, like “New Ecosystems,” the game requires you to catch a monster instead of slaying it. To learn how to use tranq bombs to trap a monster, check out our full guide on how to capture monsters.
This guide will go over how to get tranq bombs in Monster Hunter Wilds.
How to get tranq bombs in Monster Hunter Wilds
The best way to get tranq bombs in Monster Hunter Wilds is to craft them, which is available right from the start of the game. Because of this, all you need to do is get the right items to craft it. The recipe to make one tranq bomb requires one sleep herb and one parashroom.
We found sleep herb and parashroom in both Windward Plains and the Scarlet Forest. You can find each of these ingredients by scanning your map when in either region. The sleep herbs are marked with a plant-like icon that’s light blue and parashrooms are marked by a yellow mushroom icon. You can see examples of the icons below.
Once you have the needed items, here is how you craft tranq bombs:
- Open the pause screen and select the “Crafting List” option under the “Items & Equipment” page.
- Tab over to the page labeled “Traps/Offense” and scroll through the list of craftable items until you see “Tranq Bomb.” (It is labeled item number 46 and was on the third page of items in our menu.)
- Scroll down and select the tranq bomb option. Confirm you want to craft the bombs and you’ll have your items!
