Discover the Black Flame: A Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds

*Monster Hunter Wilds* has streamlined many of its systems, making monster tracking almost obsolete—except for one notable exception. Here’s a detailed guide on how to find the elusive Black Flame in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Tracking the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds

Midway through the main storyline, specifically in Chapter 3, you'll encounter the Black Flame monster. It will appear briefly before retreating to the Oilwell Basin. Your mission is to track it down and defeat it.

Start by leaving the Base Camp and head towards Zone 9 of the region, as shown in the map screenshot below.

As you make your way to Zone 9, keep an eye out for tar tracks on the ground. Interact with these tracks to initiate the tracking process. Your Hunter will pick up the Black Flame's scent, which will be relayed to the scoutflies. These scoutflies will then illuminate a green path leading you directly to the Black Flame's location.

Upon reaching Zone 9, you'll find a massive flaming crater. Follow the green path lit up by the scoutflies, which will guide you straight to the Black Flame, also known as Nu Udra. This tentacled beast can unleash fire and other flame-based attacks, making it a formidable opponent.

To simplify the battle, focus on severing a few of its tentacles first. This strategy will open up access to its more vulnerable inner weak points, allowing you to deal more damage and harvest additional materials at the end of the fight.

Given the high temperatures in the region, it's advisable to carry Cool Drinks to prevent continuous health depletion from the heat.

And there you have it—a comprehensive guide on how to find and defeat the Black Flame in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and insights on the game, including how to change your Palico's language and capture monsters, make sure to visit The Escapist.
