How to Beat and Capture Rompopolo in Monster Hunter Wilds

For optimal preparation, equip water-element weapons (obtained from Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest earlier in the game) and gear with fire resistance (farmed from Uth Duna or, later, Ajarakan). Crafting a Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I talisman is also a smart move. Don't forget a hearty meal to boost your health and stamina!

Rompopolo Attacks and Weaknesses

Rompopolo's attacks utilize its gas-filled, saggy skin. Be ready for explosions! Its attacks also inflict poison, so pack Antidotes. Your Palico can help alleviate status ailments.

Key attacks to watch out for:

• Arm Swipe: A double swipe easily dodged due to its short range.
• Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging attack with an arcing swipe.
• Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
• Poison Stream or Swipe: A poison gas stream or a charging swipe with poison spray.
• Oil Explosion: Rompopolo uses its tail to ignite oil pools, causing explosions beneath you.
• Charged Oil Explosion: A larger, more damaging explosion later in the fight.

Should You Kill or Capture Rompopolo?

You can choose to kill or capture Rompopolo. To capture, weaken it until your Palico notes it's "tired," then use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps followed by a Tranq Bomb. Both methods yield rewards, though specific items may be exclusive to one method.
