Tentacle Tactics
Nu Udra presents a formidable challenge in Monster Hunter Wilds. Its massive tentacles grant it impressive reach, making evasion tricky. However, these same tentacles are within striking distance for melee fighters. Severing its arms yields valuable materials, but proceed with caution—they're powerful weapons themselves.
Target the Maw
Ranged weapon users have more strategic options. The optimal target is Nu Udra's mouth; although difficult to spot due to its dark coloration, it boasts a 4-star weakness. The head is a viable alternative, exhibiting a 3-star weakness to ammo damage, but remains effective for blunt and cut damage.
Harness the Power of Watermoss
Nu Udra possesses a fire affinity. In addition to its limb attacks, it unleashes fiery assaults. At a certain point, it even ignites itself, posing a significant Fireblight risk. Using Watermoss is strongly recommended to mitigate this threat and enable safer attacks.
Embrace Fire Resistance
Struggling? Prioritize fire-resistant gear. The Quematrice armor set, with its Fire Resistance skill, is a strong recommendation. Fire Res Jewels reduce fire damage, while Stream Jewels boost water attack damage.
Evade the Grasp
Nu Udra’s grab attack is particularly perilous. If too close, it may ensnare you with its tentacles, followed by a fiery blast. During the brief pause after the grab, use a knife to break free or utilize your Slinger to target a weak point.

Capturing the Black Flame
To capture Nu Udra, prepare either a Pitfall or Shock Trap. However, deployment requires weakening the monster to near-death; look for a skull icon beside the boss icon to determine readiness. Luring it with meat or strategically positioning yourself behind the trap while it targets you are effective methods. Once trapped, quickly administer a Tranquilizer (you have approximately five seconds before it breaks free).
This comprehensive guide covers defeating and capturing Nu Udra in Monster Hunter Wilds. This hunt is challenging solo; consider utilizing multiplayer for assistance.
