Discover the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide

*Monster Hunter Wilds* has streamlined many of the series' systems, making the tracking of monsters almost obsolete. However, there is one notable exception: the elusive Black Flame. Here's how you can locate and confront this formidable creature in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Tracking the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds

In the midst of the main storyline, specifically during Chapter 3, the Black Flame, also known as Nu Udra, makes its appearance before retreating to the depths of the Oilwell Basin. Your mission is to track it down and defeat it.

Start by leaving the Base Camp and making your way to Zone 9 of the region, as shown in the map screenshot below.

As you navigate towards Zone 9, keep an eye out for tar tracks on the ground. Interact with these tracks, and your Hunter will pick up the Black Flame’s trail, which will be automatically relayed to your scoutflies. This feature simplifies tracking, guiding you directly to the monster's location. Follow the green path illuminated by the scoutflies to reach the giant flaming crater in Zone 9, where you will encounter the Black Flame.

The Black Flame, or Nu Udra, is a tentacled beast that utilizes fire and other flame-based attacks. To increase your chances of success, focus on severing a few of its tentacles early in the battle. This strategy will grant you easier access to its inner weak points, allowing for more effective attacks and the potential to gather more materials by the fight's end.

It's also advisable to carry Cool Drinks with you to combat the region's heat, which can otherwise cause your health to deplete continuously.

That's the complete guide on how to find and defeat the Black Flame in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to change the Palico's language and how to capture monsters, make sure to visit The Escapist.
