In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the game streamlines many systems, making tracking monsters almost unnecessary. However, there's one notable exception: the elusive Black Flame. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate and confront this formidable foe.
Tracking the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds
Around the midpoint of *Monster Hunter Wilds*' main story, specifically in Chapter 3, you'll encounter the Black Flame. After it appears and then vanishes into the Oilwell Basin, your mission is to track it down and defeat it.
Begin your hunt by leaving the Base Camp and heading to Zone 9 of the region. Refer to the map screenshot below for guidance.
As you make your way to 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 makes tracking its precise location straightforward. Simply follow the green path illuminated by the scoutflies to Zone 9, where you'll find a giant flaming crater, and continue along this path to encounter the Black Flame.
The Black Flame, also known as Nu Udra, is a tentacled monster that utilizes fire and other flame-based attacks. To simplify the battle, it's wise to start by severing a few of its tentacles. This strategy will grant you easier access to its inner weak points, enabling you to gather more materials once the fight is over.
To combat the intense heat of the region, make sure to carry a few Cool Drinks. These will prevent your health from continuously depleting due to the environment.
That's the complete guide on how to find and defeat the Black Flame in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to change your Palico's language and capture other monsters, keep exploring resources like The Escapist.
