How to capture the giant beasts in Monster Hunter World?

Weaken a monster, immobilize it with a Shock Trap and use Tranq Bombs to capture it.

1. Besides hunting and killing a monster, your hunter can also weaken a beast and capture it. This is an alternate way of completing a quest objective.
2. To catch a monster, you should prepare the following items - Tranq Bombs (you can craft them by combining Sleep Herbs with Parashroom) and Shock Traps (Trap Tool + Thunderbug).
3. Then, you have to do the usual stuff: track a monster and fight with it. A monster has to be critically weakened - you can notice that a beast starts limping or it escapes to its nest. Stop attacking that monster and track it.
4. Another step is to place a Shock Trap on the ground. Lure the beast to that trap. You can also place it under a sleeping monster.
5. An activated Shock Trap shocks a beast. Switch to Tranq Bomb and throw it at the monster. A number of required Tranq Bombs depends on a monster's species (usually, you have to use a minimum of 2 bombs) but the bigger monsters require a lot more of them - throw a few extra ones just to be sure that a monster is put to sleep.
6. Capturing a monster gives you a few additional materials. This means that a reward is more valuable.
7. The quest ends when you manage to capture a monster. That beast is later transported to Astera. Notice that on the arena (Gathering Hall) you can play a special mission with a previously capture monster!

How to catch pets?

You can catch animals and place them in your room.

1. Simply equip yourself with a Capture Net. Its mechanic is the same as the one of the Slingshot - aim and shoot by pressing the triggers.
2. You can catch only one pet per mission. Think about which animal you want to add to your collection.
3. You can catch multiple creatures that you can later bring to your room and let them roam your room.
