Where to find Tracktail Lizard in Monster Hunter Wilds

Tracktail Lizards are most commonly found around areas 11 and 13 of the Plains region in Monster Hunter Wilds, and we've found that the Area 13: Oasis Campsite is one of the best locations to look for Tracktail Lizards.

A pair of Tracktail Lizards are also commonly found just north of the Oasis Campsite (which means you move down if looking at the picture above), and in the small bit that connects area 12 with area 13.

How to catch Tracktail Lizard in Monster Hunter Wilds

Unlike the Large Monsters you hunt, you need to use the Capture Net to catch Tracktail Lizards in Monster Hunter Wilds. We also recommend you equip the Ghillie Mantle before slowly approaching a Tracktail Lizard, as they tend to run away if they spot you coming, and you need to get pretty close for your net to successfully grab a Tracktail Lizard.

If you happen to find a pair of Tracktail Lizards, make sure you quickly catch the next one beside the first lizard you capture, or the other one will run away!

Both the Capture Net and Ghillie Mantle can be selected from your items menu, or from one of the radial menus where you have them set to, like the pre-made Fixed-Items one.
