How to Beat and Capture Rompopolo in Monster Hunter Wilds

Conquer Rompopolo in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Comprehensive Guide

Monster Hunter Wilds presents a roster of formidable beasts, each with unique characteristics. Rompopolo stands out as one of the most distinctive, demanding a strategic approach. This guide details how to defeat and capture this challenging opponent.

Unlocking Rompopolo

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

Strategies for Victory and Capture

Effective preparation is key. Prioritize water-element weapons (obtained from Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest) and fire-resistant gear (farmed from Uth Duna or Ajarakan). Consider crafting a Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I. Enhance your hunter's capabilities with a pre-battle meal.

Rompopolo's Attacks and Weaknesses

Rompopolo's attacks utilize its gas-filled, saggy skin, resulting in explosive and poisonous assaults. Carry Antidotes to counter poison, and remember your Palico can assist with ailment removal. Key attacks to anticipate include:

• Arm Swipe: A double swipe easily dodged due to its limited range.
• Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging attack with an arcing swipe.
• Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
• Poison Stream or Swipe: A poison gas spray or a charging attack with a poison spray.
• Oil Explosion: Explosions triggered by the monster in oil pools.
• Charged Oil Explosion: A more powerful, later-stage oil explosion.

Capture or Kill?

Both capture and kill strategies are viable, offering slightly different item rewards. To capture, weaken Rompopolo until your Palico indicates it's "tired," then use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps followed by Tranq Bombs.
