How to Catch Endemic Life Creatures in Wilds

To catch Endemic Life creatures in MH Wilds, you need to equip your Capture Net and find the location of each creature. Once you have found the creature you are looking for, aim the net by holding L2 and press R2 when the frame turns orange.

Most of these creatures are skittish and will run or hide if you get too close. So, make sure to use your Ghillie Mantle while searching for them to make capturing them easier.
