How to Beat Uth Duna

Uth Duna Monster Fight Tips
Use the Loch Ruins Use Focus Strike on Uth Duna's Weak Spot Use the Dam Rubble Prioritize Attacking its Water Veil Use Nullberries to Remove Waterblight

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.

How to Set and Activate Traps

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.
