Monster Hunter Wilds simplifies many series mechanics, minimizing the need for extensive monster tracking. However, one exception remains: the Black Flame. This guide explains how to locate it.
Tracking the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds
Around the midpoint of Monster Hunter Wilds' main story, Chapter 3 introduces the Black Flame. After a brief appearance, it retreats to the Oilwell Basin. Your task is to track it down and defeat it.
Exit Base Camp and proceed to Zone 9 of the Oilwell Basin, as shown in the map below.
Along the way, you'll discover tar tracks. Examining these will reveal the Black Flame's trail, automatically alerting your scoutflies. Follow the green path illuminated by the scoutflies in Zone 9, leading you directly to the giant flaming crater and the Black Flame.
The Black Flame (also known as Nu Udra) is a tentacled beast wielding fire-based attacks. Prioritize severing its tentacles to simplify the fight and expose vulnerable areas, maximizing material acquisition after its defeat.
Carrying several Cool Drinks is advisable to mitigate the region's intense heat and prevent continuous health depletion.
This concludes the guide on locating the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more Monster Hunter Wilds tips and tricks, including Palico language changes and monster capture strategies, check out The Escapist.
