    This achievement cannot be unlocked until you have reached MR 50 or higher and have at least one ecosystem to Level 5 in
    *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***


    The achievement description is misleading, you only need to capture a single rare Moly, which are mole like creatures, to unlock the achievement [Thanks Flolais]. You can capture the rare Moly in a Level 5 ecosystem. Below is a description of each regions rare Moly:

    *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***


    You can use binoculars or the surveyor set to locate them from a distance but you must have the Ghillie Mantle equipped to approach them. Here are the locations they can be encountered:

    - Area 6 surrounding an Herb on the east wall.
    - Area 7 past a crawling portion in the middle of the Y near an herb.
    - Area 8 on western wall below a might seed and surrounding a carrier ant trail.
    - Area 9 near an herb in the middle of the area.
    - Area 10 in a drop down on northeast corner near honey
    - Area 11 in the middle of a U shaped cliff near an herb.
    - Area 12 surrounding an Ivy on east wall
    - Area 13 near a Devil's blight on top of a hill.

    These creatures can only be captured when their head is above ground. The net's reticle will show as orange while focused on them when they can be captured.

    The Felyne Zoomaster and Felyne Biologist daily skills from the canteen can increase the chance of encountering these creatures. There is an increased chance to see them at sunset and sunrise but they can spawn at any time of the day.

    Bu5hrangerI can confirm I got "Spiny Moly" in area 13 of Guiding Lands. It's the area in Rotten Vale, just behind where the Devil's Blight spawns up against a wall. It's a black mole with red eyes, easy to notice compared to the other moles. Hope that helps smile

    Hexa FoxCan you even get more than one area above five? Do you need to level up your character more first or something? Because right now leveling up an area decreases other areas just as much.

    XenodysIt's a balancing act. You can get two areas to Level 5 by killing a monster or two in one area and switching to the other. This is easier once you get to MR 70 and MR 100 since there will be a larger buffer into Level 5 with Level 6 and Level 7 open.

    Capcom is updating the Guiding Lands in the patch hitting this week to make it easier to maintain levels. They are also adding more in future patches with this in mind as well.

    StK II popped this after catching the new volcanic region moly (it has a red fiery mohawk) in another player's level 6 region. The only other moly I have is the generic one, so the achievement description is definitely misleading

    Z1PPYZ3NOI caught 1 in Coral Highlands region, Ancient Forest Region, Tundra Region and Vulcanic Region, and the achievement have not popped for me. So I guess if ppl get the achievement when only catching 1 its properly a glitch.

    you are missing the wildspire Waste,right?

    Superflee2I can concur with what StK I stated above. You don't actually need a moly from every region. Just need a rare one from one I think. I had a regular moly from the Wildspire Waste and the Ancient Forest regions only. Then I captured the rare moly from the Elder Recess region and got the achievement.

    KanchanaburiMy experience: I joined someone else's game who had higher level areas (I did not have any level personally past 4) and I collected a regular moly in the eff gas area (I forgot it's name). I got one achievement. Then I trapped the Mossy Mole in the forest area and this achievement unlocked. I did not get any other mole.

    MiZ Dove OGThank you. I captured one in all six regions and then caught the mossy moly in Ancient Forest in Area 7 going thru the crawl thru to the herb straight ahead. Capturing one of the special versions popped the achievement. Wish I could get the Coral and Lava ones but my levels in those areas are too low. Ancient Forest and Wildspire are at 7 so I picked mossy over helmet!

    For the record i caught one regular moly in forest, then caught the mossy variant in same spot, bugged in a good way...glad i do not have to level each area to 5 and can just join others if need certain materials...for the record my forest was level 6 when i caught the mossy moly but think only needs to be level 5
