Although you’ll spend most of your time defeating monsters, you’ll sometimes need to preserve life rather than take it. The Dareel’s Research Report quest is a perfect example, as you capture Tracktail Lizards. We’re here to show where to find these creatures inMonster Hunter Wilds.
Where to find Tracktail Lizards in Monster Hunter Wilds
You can begin Dareel’s Research Report sometime during Chapter 1-5. A marker for it appears at the Plains Base Camp, leading you to Dareel’s location. He’ll only provide a vague description of the Tracktail Lizards’ whereabouts, but fortunately, there’s a way to narrow them down. These Endemic Life creatures will be inWindward Plain’s Zones 11 and 12, where groups often travel around the desert.
Tracktail Lizards tend to show up more in the sandy dunes of the Plains, so don’t waste your time looking around any grassy or wet areas. I’ve had the most luck with Zones 11 and 12, but these creatures are a bit tricky to spot. Compared to other monsters, they are tiny and move swiftly around. Use your binoculars to locate them more efficiently.
When you’ve finally tracked a Tracktail Lizard, equip your Capture Net and crouch down. Luckily, these creatures won’t get scared when you’re nearby. I still recommend moving slowly, though, to reduce the risk of them running away. As long as you’ve captured one lizard, you’ll complete Dareel’s Research Report quest inMonster Hunter Wilds.
You’ll unlock a new species for the Expedition Command tent, found at Windward Plains’ Base Camp. The Samin’s Research Report side quest will also be available, taking you on another Endemic Life adventure. Keep in mind that these particular critters cannot be used to make armor, as you can only capture them alive. However, they still have some uses for crafting, including the Flashflies’ flash bomb effect.
