Conquer the Black Flame: A Guide to Defeating Nu Udra in Monster Hunter Wilds
Nu Udra, also known as the Black Flame, is the formidable apex predator of the Oilwell Basin in Monster Hunter Wilds. This guide will equip you to overcome this challenging beast and protect the village.
Nu Udra's Weaknesses and Strategies:
- Habitat: Oilwell Basin
- Breakable Parts: Head and Arms (severing arms yields extra materials)
- Elemental Weakness: Water
- Effective Status Effects: Poison (2x), Sleep (2x), Paralysis (1x), Blastblight (1x), Stun (2x), Exhaust (2x)
- Effective Items: Pitfall Trap, Shock Trap, Watermoss
Melee Weapon Users: Focus your attacks on Nu Udra's tentacles. While powerful, they are the most accessible targets for melee combatants.
Ranged Weapon Users: Prioritize attacks on Nu Udra's mouth (4-star weakness). The head is a secondary target (3-star weakness to ammo, but effective for blunt and cut damage).
Countering Fire Attacks: Nu Udra utilizes fire attacks and can even ignite itself, inflicting Fireblight. Counter this by using Watermoss to extinguish the flames and create a safer attacking window.
Essential Gear: Equip fire-resistant armor, such as the Quematrice set (possessing the Fire Resistance skill). Fire Res Jewels and Stream Jewels (for increased Water Attack) are valuable additions.
Avoiding the Grab Attack: Nu Udra's grab attack is particularly dangerous. If grabbed, quickly use a knife to escape or utilize your Slinger to attack its weak point during the brief pause before the fire blast.
Capturing Nu Udra:
To capture Nu Udra, prepare a Pitfall or Shock Trap. Wait until the monster is significantly weakened (indicated by a skull icon next to its health bar) before deploying the trap. Lure it into the trap using meat or by strategically positioning yourself. Once trapped, quickly use a Tranquilizer to subdue it (you have approximately five seconds before it breaks free).
Multiplayer Advantage: Confronting Nu Udra solo is challenging. Consider utilizing multiplayer for a significantly easier hunt.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
