*Monster Hunter Wilds* has streamlined many aspects of the series, making monster tracking almost obsolete. However, there's one notable exception: tracking the elusive Black Flame. Here's how you can find and confront this fiery beast in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Tracking the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds
Around the midpoint of the main story, in Chapter 3, the Black Flame monster makes a fleeting appearance before disappearing into the Oilwell Basin. Your mission is to locate and defeat it.
Start by leaving the Base Camp and navigate towards Zone 9 of the region, as shown in the map screenshot below.
As you make your way to Zone 9, keep an eye out for tar tracks on the ground. Interact with these tracks to have your Hunter pick up the Black Flame's trail. This action will automatically send the trail to your scoutflies, enabling you to pinpoint the monster's exact location effortlessly. Follow the green path illuminated by the scoutflies directly to Zone 9, where a massive flaming crater marks the area. Continue along the illuminated path to encounter the Black Flame.
The Black Flame, known as Nu Udra, is a tentacled creature capable of unleashing fire and other flame-based attacks. To simplify the battle, focus on severing a few of its tentacles first. This strategy will allow you closer access to its vulnerable inner points, increasing your chances of obtaining more materials at the end of the fight.
It's also wise to carry Cool Drinks with you to mitigate the heat of the region, preventing continuous health depletion.
That's the complete guide on how to track and defeat the Black Flame in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to change your Palico's language and capture other monsters, be sure to visit The Escapist.
