Discover the Black Flame: Monster Hunter Wilds Guide

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the streamlined systems make tracking monsters almost obsolete, but there's a notable exception when it comes to finding the elusive Black Flame. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate and conquer this fiery beast.

Tracking the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds

As you progress through the main storyline of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll encounter the Black Flame in Chapter 3. After its initial appearance, it will retreat to the Oilwell Basin, leaving you with the task of tracking it down and defeating it.

Begin your journey from the Base Camp and make your way to Zone 9 of the region. Refer to the map screenshot below for precise navigation.

En route to Zone 9, you'll come across tar tracks on the ground. Interact with these tracks, and your Hunter will pick up the Black Flame's trail, which will be automatically relayed to your scoutflies. This will guide you directly to the monster's location. Follow the green path illuminated by the scoutflies, leading you to the giant flaming crater in Zone 9 where the Black Flame awaits.

The Black Flame, also known as Nu Udra, is a formidable creature with tentacled limbs and the ability to unleash fire and other flame-based attacks. To simplify the battle, focus on severing a few of its tentacles first. This will grant you access to its more vulnerable inner areas, increasing your chances of obtaining valuable materials post-fight.

Given the intense heat of the Oilwell Basin, it's advisable to carry Cool Drinks. These will help mitigate the environmental heat, preventing continuous health depletion.

With these tips, you're now equipped to track down and defeat the Black Flame in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more insights and guides on the game, including how to change your Palico's language and capture other monsters, be sure to visit The Escapist.
