• Seeking the Goldenfish: Head to the Scarlet Forest's Area 6 and catch the Goldenfish from cave pools. Use either the Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow baits. The Fallow weather state boosts your chances of encountering this fish.
• Fishing for Favor: Your next task is to catch the Gravid Bowfin at the Scarlet Forest base camp. This requires the Plenty weather condition. Use the Emerald Jitterbait to lure this fish.
• The Catch of a Lifetime!: Kanya's next challenge is to reel in a Whopper, any large fish that triggers the reeling minigame. Tuna in the lake at Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a good target. Patience and skill are key here.

After completing these quests, you'll be ready for Kanya's Razzle Dazzle quest, which is your gateway to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement. Follow these steps:

• Travel to the Scarlet Forest, specifically Area 17. Ensure the weather is set to Downpour in Inclemency. You can wait at the grill or rest at your camp to change the conditions.
• Move into the deep end of the lake until you can't go further. Look for squids swimming nearby. If none appear, fast travel elsewhere and return to encourage spawning.
• Equip the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya and start fishing. Your primary target for the quest is the Grand Escunite, but the Goliath Squid is what you need for the trophy or achievement. Look for squids with glowing blue shells.
• When you hook a squid and the reeling minigame begins, you're on the right track. Battle the creature and reel it in when it tires. Once close enough to the shore, you'll secure the Goliath Squid, unlocking the trophy or achievement.
