How to Beat and Capture Rompopolo in Monster Hunter Wilds

Conquer Rompopolo in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Comprehensive Guide

Rompopolo, a unique Brute Wyvern in Monster Hunter Wilds, presents a memorable challenge. This guide provides strategies for defeating and capturing this formidable beast.

Unlocking Rompopolo

Your first encounter with Rompopolo occurs in Chapter 2, Mission 2-1: Toward Fervent Fields, within the Oilwell Basin. Defeating it is crucial for progressing the story. Subsequent battles are available via exploration of the Oilwell Basin or the "Oilwell Basin Blast" Optional Quest. After your initial victory, Rompopolo's entry will be added to your Large Monster Field Guide.

Strategies for Victory

Preparation is key. Equip water-element weapons (obtained from Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest) and fire-resistant armor (farmed from Uth Duna or Ajarakan). Consider crafting a Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I talisman. A hearty meal before the hunt will boost your health and stamina.

Rompopolo's Attacks and Weaknesses

Rompopolo's attacks utilize gas-filled skin, resulting in explosive assaults. Poison is another threat, so carry Antidotes. Your Palico can also assist with ailment removal. Key attacks to watch for include:

• Arm Swipe: A double swipe easily dodged.
• Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging attack with an arcing swipe.
• Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
• Poison Stream/Swipe: Poison gas sprayed in a stream or during a charge.
• Oil Explosion: Explosions triggered in oil pools using its tail stinger.
• Charged Oil Explosion: A larger, more damaging oil explosion.

Capture or Kill?

Both capture and kill are viable options, affecting item rewards. To capture, weaken Rompopolo until your Palico notes its exhaustion. Use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps, followed by at least one Tranq Bomb.
