How to Beat Uth Duna
| Uth Duna Monster Fight Tips |
|---|
|
|
Use the Loch Ruins to Cancel Uth Duna's Wave Call
Once Uth Duna Dives in deep waters in Area 17, use the Loch Ruins as a Falling Boulder trap on it. This not only cancels Uth Duna's Wave Call Attack, it also deals damage to the monster and pulls it out of the water, making it open for attacks!
Use Focus Strike on Uth Duna's Weak Spot
Uth Duna's weak spot becomes available after it does its Twist Dive attack. Use Focus Strike on Uth Duna's head after this attack for a chance to topple Uth Duna.
Remember that in High Rank, this move no longer gives a guaranteed topple.
How to Use Focus Mode and Focus Strike
Use the Dam Rubble
The Dam Rubble in Area 15 deals huge damage against Uth Duna, allowing you to further speed up your hunt. You can make use of Pitfall Traps or Shock Traps to ensure the boulders hit Uth Duna.
Prioritize Attacking its Water Veil
Make sure you attack Uth Duna's water veil when its spread out as it takes less damage from attacks when this is active.
Once the veil is dispelled, focus on hitting its forelegs next, taking care to avoid its lunges and body slams.
Use Nulberries to Remove Waterblight
Nulberries are important as Uth Duna has access to water-based attacks that can inflict Waterblight which drastically lessens your stamina recovery speed. Nulberries instantly remove the effects of Waterblight, allowing you to hunt without the debuff.
Uth Duna Attack Patterns
Moveset and Openings
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
| Wave Call | Uth Duna swims to deeper waters and repeatedly dives in to create waves. Use the Wedge Beetles to avoid the damage and Waterblight from the waves. You can also use the Loch Ruins to cancel Uth Duna's attack and deal damage to her. |
| Twist Dive | Uth Duna dives and twists its body to slam it on your location. Take advantage of this attack by performing a Focus Strike on its Head. In High Rank, Uth Duna can perform this move do this move twice consecutively. |
| Belly Flop | Uth Duna stands on its hind legs to do a Belly Flop that can create waves when it deep waters. Take advantage of this attack as it gives a brief damage window after the flop. |
| Body Coil | Uth Duna twists its body and uses its tail to hit you. Move away from Uth Duna's body to avoid any damage. |
| Arm Swipe | Uth Duna uses its arm to swipe away at any hunters in front. Take advantage of this attack by dodging backwards once you see Uth Duna prepare its arm, then attack again after the monster performs this move. |
| Charge | Uth Duna sprints forward, dragging any hunter caught in its charge. Run sideways to avoid the continuous hitboxes of this move. Alternatively you can use Perfect Guard to initiate a Power Clash. |
| Bite | Uth Duna bites towards your direction. Use this opening to dodge forward and attack its forelegs. |
