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 dam. The dramatic shift in weather during **Mission 1-5: Beyond the Deluge** unveils Uth Duna amidst a raging monsoon, setting the stage for your hunt.
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 a good source), or gear/talismans boosting water resistance (like Water Charm I). A hearty meal beforehand will maintain 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 exposes its weak points (shown above), but also increases its aggression. Stay nimble while navigating the flooded environment. Its attacks primarily utilize its size, creating disruptive water waves:
- Belly Slam: A devastating forward slam after rising on its hind legs.
- Roar: A temporary immobilizing roar.
- Body Coil: A spinning tail swipe.
- Aerial Twirl: A wide-area attack involving a leaping twirl and slam.
- Leg Swipe: A close-range swipe with its clawed feet.
Uth Duna's weak points are its Head (breakable), Mouth, Tail (breakable), and both Forelegs (both breakable). Consult your Field Guide after your first encounter for detailed weakness information.
Should You Capture or Kill Uth Duna?

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. The rewards differ slightly:
