Hunting the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds is simplified, but still requires a bit of tracking. This guide shows you how to locate this elusive beast.
Locating the Black Flame (Nu Udra)
The Black Flame appears mid-game, around Chapter 3, in the Oilwell Basin. After a brief encounter, it disappears. To find it:
-
Follow the Trail: Exit Base Camp and head towards Zone 9 of the Oilwell Basin (see map below). You'll discover tar tracks; interacting with them reveals the Black Flame's trail to your scoutflies.
-
Track and Engage: Follow the green path illuminated by the scoutflies in Zone 9, leading you to a large flaming crater where the Black Flame awaits.
Battle Strategies
The Black Flame (Nu Udra) is a tentacled monster using fire-based attacks. Prioritize severing a few tentacles to expose weaker points, making the fight easier and yielding more materials.
Essential Tip: Carry Cool Drinks to counter the Oilwell Basin's intense heat and prevent continuous health loss.
