Simplified Hunting: Locating the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds simplifies many series mechanics, even eliminating the need for extensive monster tracking. However, one exception remains: the Black Flame. This guide explains how to find and defeat it.

The Black Flame (Nu Udra) appears in Chapter 3, within the Oilwell Basin, before disappearing. Your task is to locate and defeat it.

Tracking the Black Flame:

Begin at Base Camp and proceed to Zone 9 of the Oilwell Basin (see map below).

Along the way, you'll encounter tar tracks. Examine them; your Hunter will automatically follow the Black Flame's trail, guiding scoutflies to its precise location. Follow the green scoutfly path to Zone 9, near the large flaming crater, to confront the Black Flame.

Battle Strategy:

The Black Flame is a tentacled creature using fire-based attacks. Prioritize targeting its tentacles to facilitate the fight and access its vulnerable core for increased material drops.

Essential Tip: Carry Cool Drinks to mitigate the Oilwell Basin's heat, preventing continuous health loss.

This concludes the guide to finding the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more Monster Hunter Wilds tips and strategies, including Palico language changes and monster capture techniques, check out The Escapist.
