---------------------------------------------- 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, unleashing a monsoon and revealing Uth Duna in **Mission 1-5: Beyond the Deluge**. Your objective? Defeat the beast before it wreaks further havoc.

How to Beat and Capture Uth Duna in Monster Hunter Wilds

-------------------------------------------------------- Aptly nicknamed "A Feast in the Deep," Uth Duna emerges when the Scarlet Forest floods. As the region's apex predator, this battle will be significantly tougher than previous encounters.

Before engaging, equip a thunder-element weapon (if available—Rey Dau in Mission 2-2 is your first chance). Alternatively, wear gear or use a Talisman (like Water Charm I) for increased water resistance. A hearty meal will boost your health and stamina. Don't forget Nulberries to cure the Waterblight status ailment Uth Duna inflicts.

Uth Duna Attacks and Weaknesses

Uth Duna's iridescent fins act as a temporary defensive "Veil," slowing its movement. Breaking this veil increases its aggression but reveals its weak points.

Uth Duna's attacks are primarily powerful physical strikes and water-based maneuvers that disrupt your movement. Watch out for:

• Belly Slam: A devastating forward slam.
• Roar: A temporary immobilizing roar.
• Body Coil: A spinning tail swipe.
• Aerial Twirl: A wide-area leap and slam.
• Leg Swipe: A close-range claw swipe.

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 weakness breakdown.

Should You Capture or Kill Uth Duna?

Capture or kill? Both are viable, offering different rewards. To capture, weaken Uth Duna until exhausted, then use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps, followed by Tranq Bombs.
