How to search for the Black Flame in MH Wilds Long-forgotten Flame Chapter
The Black Flame, also known as the Nu Udra, is found in Oilwell Basin’s Zone 15. It’ll be right below the Base Camp, so you must head to lower ground. But, before traveling, be sure to eat a meal and bring a few Cold Drinks to withstand the heat. Starting from the Base Camp, go to Zone 4 to reach Zone 9.

While at Zone 4, take a right to locate a molting crater, where you can use Zone 9’s Pit Elevator.

Now, you’ll have a straight shot into Zone 15 to go against the Black Flame in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to defeat Black Flame in MH Wilds
To prepare for th🎃e Black Flam🐭e fight, take advantage of these weaknesses:
- Elemental Attack Weakness: Water
- Weakest Body Part: Mouth
- Effective Status Effects:
- Poison: Moderately effective
- Sleep: Moderately effective
- Paralysis: Least effective
- Blastblight: Least effective
- Stun: Moderately effective
- Exhaust: Moderately effective
- Effective Items:
- Shock Trap
- Pitfall Trap
For the most damage, try to attack its mouth with a water-based weapon (you can still utilize the other types if you don’t have any). It may be difficult to pinpoint its mouth, so you can opt for its arms for a better shot. You’ll have more than enough to work with, as it has six breakable arms.

I recommend focusing on the arms first and then attacking the mouth when it’s knocked down temporarily. You can also use a Shock Trap to immobilize it for more damage.
All Black Flame movesets
You must watch out f💜or these three moves when going against th🌞e Black Flame:
- Swings tentacles around to deal damage
- Enters a fiery state: Unleashes flames from its mouth and throws flammable bombs
- Performs a high-damaging body slam
When the Black Flame enters its fiery state, use the Cool Drink to negate its Status Effect. If you don’t, your health will start to drop, similar to what happens in Iceshard Cliff’s cold environment.
