How to Find the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds

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

Tracking the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds

Around the midpoint of Monster Hunter Wilds' main story, Chapter 3 introduces the Black Flame, which vanishes into the Oilwell Basin. Your mission: find and defeat it.

Exit Base Camp and head towards Zone 9 of the Oilwell Basin (see map below).

Along the way, you'll discover tar tracks. Examining them reveals the Black Flame's trail, automatically guiding scoutflies to its location. Follow the green trail illuminated by the scoutflies in Zone 9, leading you to a large flaming crater and the Black Flame.

The Black Flame (also known as Nu Udra) is a tentacled beast wielding fire-based attacks. Prioritize severing its tentacles to simplify the fight and access its vulnerable inner points for optimal material gathering.

To counter the region's intense heat, carry Cool Drinks to prevent continuous health depletion.
