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 nearby dam. The weather takes a dramatic turn, and Uth Duna emerges during **Mission 1-5: Beyond the Deluge**, setting the stage for your confrontation.
How to Beat and Capture Uth Duna in Monster Hunter Wilds
Aptly nicknamed "A Feast in the Deep," Uth Duna appears as the Scarlet Forest floods. This apex predator is a tougher fight than previous encounters. Before engaging, consider these preparations:
Equip a thunder-element weapon (obtainable from Rey Dau in Mission 2-2, if available). Alternatively, utilize gear or Talismans (like Water Charm I) for increased water resistance. A hearty meal boosts health and stamina, and remember to bring Nulberries to counter Uth Duna's Waterblight status ailment.
Uth Duna's iridescent fins act as a defensive "Veil," slowing its movement but boosting its defense. Break this veil to expose its weak points (shown above) and increase your damage output. However, be warned: removing the veil increases Uth Duna's aggression and attack frequency.
Uth Duna's attacks primarily utilize its size and the water environment. Watch out for:
Uth Duna's weak points are its Head (breakable), Mouth, Tail (breakable), and Forelegs (both breakable). Consult your Field Guide after your first encounter for a detailed breakdown of its weaknesses.
Capture or kill – the choice is yours. Weaken Uth Duna until it's exhausted, then use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps, followed by Tranq Bombs for a capture. Killing or capturing yields different rewards.
