Shiny Gold Helmcrab
Location	Caverns of El Dorado
Type	Terrestrial

 

Shiny Gold Helmcrab is an Endemic Life creature in Monster Hunter World (MHW). These animals and insects are found out in the field, and can be captured by dedicated Hunters looking to research the New World.

This little one isn't too different from your regular Gold Helmcrab, but it's a lot shinier. Guess it hoarded more grub for itself?

Shiny Gold Helmcrab Location

You can find Shiny Gold Helmcrab in:

• Caverns of El Dorado, Sector 1 and Sector 2

 The Shiny Gold Helmcrab will sometimes spawn near the Fire Herb in the top-left corner of Sector 1, out on the sunlit rocks. It will also spawn in Sector 2 in the sunlit patch on the rocks above the lava fissure. Unlike the standard Gold Helmcrab, this creature is almost completely covered in gold and is extremely noticeable in the sunlight.
