Hunting the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Streamlined Approach
Monster Hunter Wilds simplifies many series mechanics, minimizing the need for extensive monster tracking. However, the Black Flame presents a slight exception. This guide explains how to locate and defeat this elusive creature.
The Black Flame encounter occurs around Chapter 3 of the main storyline, within the Oilwell Basin. After a brief appearance, it retreats. Your task is to track it down.
Begin at Base Camp and proceed to Zone 9 of the Oilwell Basin (see map below).
Along the way, you'll discover tar tracks. Examine these tracks to trigger the trail detection. Scoutflies will automatically mark the Black Flame's location on your map. Follow the green trail indicated by the scoutflies in Zone 9, leading you to a large flaming crater where the Black Flame awaits.
The Black Flame (Nu Udra) is a tentacled beast employing fire-based attacks. Strategically targeting and severing its tentacles first simplifies the battle, granting access to its vulnerable core and maximizing material acquisition after its defeat.
Carry several Cool Drinks to mitigate the region's intense heat, preventing continuous health depletion.
