You'll first encounter Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest during Chapter 1's mission questline. After defeating Lala Barina and Congalala, you'll join Olivia and Erik investigating a dam. Uth Duna makes its dramatic appearance during Mission 1-5: Beyond the Deluge, amidst a torrential monsoon. Your objective? Subdue the beast before it wreaks further havoc.

Strategies for Victory

Battling Uth Duna in Monster Hunter Wilds

Aptly nicknamed "A Feast in the Deep," Uth Duna emerges when the Scarlet Forest floods. This apex predator presents a significant challenge.

Before the battle, consider these preparations:

  • Thunder-element Weapon: A thunder weapon (obtainable from Rey Dau in Mission 2-2) is highly recommended.
  • Water Resistance: Equip gear or a Talisman (like Water Charm I) to boost your water resistance.
  • Food and Nulberries: A hearty meal will maintain your health and stamina, while Nulberries counter Uth Duna's Waterblight status ailment.

Uth Duna's Attacks and Weaknesses

Uth Duna weak pointsUth Duna's iridescent fins act as a temporary defensive veil, slowing its movements. Break this defense to expose its weak points: Head (breakable), Mouth, Tail (breakable), and Forelegs (both breakable). Be warned, removing the veil increases its aggression.

Key attacks to watch out for include: Belly Slam, Roar, Body Coil, Aerial Twirl, and Leg Swipe. Remember, you can check its weaknesses in your Field Guide after defeating it once.

Capture or Kill?
