Conquer Uth Duna: Monster Hunter Wilds Guide

Conquering the formidable beasts of *Monster Hunter Wilds*' Forbidden Lands is a thrilling challenge, and Uth Duna, a striking leviathan, is a prime example. This guide will walk you through defeating and capturing this early-game adversary and reaping its rewards.

Unlocking Uth Duna in Monster Hunter Wilds

You'll first encounter Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest during Chapter 1's mission questline. After defeating Lala Barina and Congalala, you'll join Olivia and Erik investigating a nearby dam. Uth Duna makes its dramatic entrance amidst a monsoon during **Mission 1-5: Beyond the Deluge**, challenging you to subdue this powerful creature before it wreaks further havoc.

How to Beat and Capture Uth Duna in Monster Hunter Wilds

Aptly nicknamed "A Feast in the Deep," Uth Duna emerges when the Scarlet Forest floods. As the region's apex predator, it's significantly tougher than previous encounters.

Before engaging, equip a thunder-element weapon (if available—Rey Dau in Mission 2-2 is a good source) or gear/talisman boosting water resistance (like Water Charm I). A hearty meal will maintain your health and stamina, and remember to bring Nulberries to counteract Uth Duna's Waterblight status ailment.

Uth Duna Attacks and Weaknesses

Uth Duna's iridescent fins act as a temporary defensive veil, slowing its movement. Break this veil to expose its weak points (shown above) and increase damage output. However, be warned: removing the veil increases its aggression.

Uth Duna's attacks primarily utilize its size and the water environment:

• Belly Slam: A devastating forward slam after rising on its hind legs.
• Roar: A temporary immobilizing roar.
• Body Coil: A spinning tail swipe attack.
• Aerial Twirl: A wide-area attack involving a leaping twirl and powerful slam.
• Leg Swipe: A close-range swipe with its clawed feet.

Its weak points are its Head (breakable), Mouth, Tail (breakable), and both Forelegs (breakable). Consult your Field Guide after a hunt to see weaknesses.

Capture or Kill: The Choice is Yours

Weaken Uth Duna until it's exhausted, then use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps followed by Tranq Bombs for a capture. Killing or capturing both yield rewards, but the specific item drops differ.
