Seeking the Goldenfish is a side quest inMonster Hunter Wilds, where Kanya sends Hunter to find a Goldenfish. The game gives almost no information on where to find this rare fish, so it’s up to the player to go out and find it themselves.
The game, however, does give the player a hint. The in-game description of the mission states, “You should be able to find this fish in dark pools, far from the light of the sun.” In other words, the fish is hidden in a cave somewhere.
