Discover the Black Flame: A Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds

*Monster Hunter Wilds* has streamlined many of the series' systems, making the hunting experience more accessible than ever. However, there's one notable exception: tracking the elusive Black Flame. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to locate and conquer the Black Flame in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Tracking the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds

Around the midpoint of the main story in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, specifically in Chapter 3, you'll encounter the Black Flame monster. It appears briefly before disappearing into the Oilwell Basin. Your mission is to track it down and defeat it.

Start by leaving the Base Camp and make your way to Zone 9 of the region, as shown in the map screenshot below.

As you journey towards Zone 9, keep an eye out for tar tracks on the ground. Interact with these tracks, and your Hunter will detect the Black Flame's trail, which will be automatically relayed to your scoutflies. This makes tracking its exact location straightforward. Follow the green path illuminated by the scoutflies to Zone 9, where you'll find a massive flaming crater, and continue on to encounter the Black Flame.

The Black Flame, also known as Nu Udra, is a formidable tentacled beast that wields fire and other flame-based attacks. A strategic approach involves severing a few of its tentacles first to simplify the battle. This tactic will allow you to access its inner weak points more easily, increasing your chances of obtaining valuable materials at the end of the fight.

To mitigate the environmental hazards of the region, it's advisable to carry Cool Drinks. These will help you endure the intense heat, preventing continuous health depletion.

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, be sure to check out resources on The Escapist.
