Rompopolo, a Brute Wyvern, first appears in Chapter 2, Mission 2-1: Toward Fervent Fields, within the Oilwell Basin. Defeating it is crucial for progressing the storyline. After your initial encounter, its entry will be added to your Large Monster Field Guide. You can repeatedly challenge Rompopolo in the Oilwell Basin or via the "Oilwell Basin Blast" Optional Quest.

Mastering the Rompopolo Hunt

Optimal preparation involves equipping water-element weapons (obtained from Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest) and fire-resistant gear (farmed from Uth Duna or Ajarakan). Consider crafting a Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I talisman. A hearty meal before the hunt enhances health and stamina.

Rompopolo's attacks leverage its gas-filled, saggy skin, resulting in explosive assaults. These attacks can inflict poison, so carry Antidotes; your Palico can also aid in ailment removal. Key attacks to anticipate include:

Arm Swipe: A double swipe easily dodged due to its limited range.
Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging attack with an arcing swipe.
Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
Poison Stream or Swipe: Poison gas sprayed in a stream or during a charging head-swing.
Oil Explosion: Gas injected into oil pools, causing ground explosions.
Charged Oil Explosion: A more powerful, later-stage oil explosion.

Capture or Kill: The Rompopolo Dilemma

Both capture and kill strategies are viable, yielding different item rewards. To capture, weaken Rompopolo until your Palico notes its exhaustion, then use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps followed by Tranq Bombs.
