Hunting the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Simplified Guide
Monster Hunter Wilds simplifies many series mechanics, minimizing the need for extensive monster tracking. However, the Black Flame presents a slight exception. This guide explains how to locate and defeat this elusive creature.
The Black Flame, encountered around Chapter 3, briefly appears in the Oilwell Basin before disappearing. Your mission: track it down and eliminate it.
Begin at 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 trigger the scoutflies, automatically leading you to the Black Flame's precise location. Simply follow the green trail illuminated by the scoutflies in Zone 9, near the large flaming crater.
The Black Flame (Nu Udra) is a tentacled beast employing fire-based attacks. Strategically targeting and severing a few tentacles first will significantly ease the battle, granting better access to its vulnerable core and maximizing material acquisition after its defeat.
To mitigate the Oilwell Basin's intense heat, carry several Cool Drinks to prevent continuous health depletion.
This concludes the guide on locating the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds. Consult The Escapist for additional game tips, such as Palico language changes and monster capture techniques.
