After completing the Long-Forgotten Flame quest, Nu Udra will be available and can be found roaming around Oilwell Basin.
How to Beat Nu Udra
| Nu Udra Monster Fight Tips |
|---|
|
|
Mouth Becomes a Weak Spot After Multi-Slam Attack
Nu Udra's weak spot becomes available after it does its Multi-Slam attack. Use Focus Strike on Nu Udra's mouth after this attack for a chance to topple Nu Udra.
Remember that in High Rank, this move no longer gives a guaranteed topple.
How to Use Focus Mode and Focus Strike
Fight from the Front
It's best to fight Nu Udra head on instead of flanking it as it's easier to read its attacks from the front. Resorting to this strategy not only lessens your chances of being hit by stray attacks, it also helps you learn the monster's moveset.
Focus on the Arms
Focusing on the arms is the best way to fight Nu Udra as these are the easiest parts to reach. Additionally, it grants a better field of view on Nu Udra's telegraphs, allowing you to react faster to its attacks. This also has an upside of severing the arms, giving you an extra carve for each of the six arms you sever!
You can swap your focus to Nu Udra's head or mouth once you bring it down.
Blunt, Sever, and Shot: Weapon Damage Types Explained
Roll Off the Fireblight
If you're burned by Nu Udra's attacks, you can roll three times to remove the fireblight. This is often more favorable than using Nulberries as the rolling method does not require you to sheathe your weapon.
Fireblight Status Ailment Explained
Douse Nu Udra's Flames with Puddle Pods
When Nu Udra ignites itself, you can douse the flame on its tentacles by using Puddle Pods. Dousing the flame will weaken some of Nu Udra's attacks. Puddle Pods can be gathered from Watermoss that are mainly found on Area 14 of Oilwell Basin.

Nu Udra Attack Patterns
Moveset and Openings
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
| Ignite | Nu Udra's head will glow blue before covering its entire body with flames. This will enhance its tentacle moves with added flame damage. You can douse the flames with Puddle Pods. |
| Multi Slam | Nu Udra raises its body and slams it towards your direction. Run to the side of Nu Udra to avoid any incoming damage from the tentacles that slam. In High Rank, Nu Udra can do this move twice consecutively, with a varying delay on each slam. You can counter this move by performing a focus strike on Nu Udra's mouth after the slam. |
| Flame Breath | Nu Udra will unleash a stream of fire at you. This attack can be blocked but will drain Stamina, it's best to move away using your Seikret, or perform multiple dives or run to the side. |
| Grab and Burn | Nu Udra will grab the hunter and after a delay will breath fire on the hunter. Continuously use the knife attack once you get grabbed, or fire a slinger pod to Nu Udra's weakpoint to break away. Remember that Flash Pods are ineffective against Nu Udra. |
| Tentacle Attacks | Nu Udra's tentacle attacks vary from a swipe to a slam. You can always tell that Nu Udra will attack with a Tentacle whenever it raises one tentacle. You can avoid incoming damage by dodging in a diagonal direction towards Nu Udra. |
| Full Swipe | Nu Udra will raise and twist two of its tentacles before performing a swipe around it. Step away from Nu Udra to avoid damage, then attack after the the swipe is finished. |
| Fire Ball | From a distance Nu Udra will two fireballs in your direction. Dodge sideways to avoid damage and fireblight. |
| Octo Leap | Nu Udra will dive towards the Hunter, dealing damage as it lands. Run or dodge to the side to avoid taking damage. |

One of Nu Udra's rarest Low Rank drops is the Nu Udra Cerebrospinal Fluid, with a 5% chance to drop as a Target Reward. To maximise your chances of obtaining this material, aim to sever and carve Nu Udra's arms. Carving one arm gives you a 5% chance to obtain the material. While difficult, it's possible to cut off all of Nu Udra's arms in one hunt. Don't forget to carve the body as well for the 7% drop chance.

On the other hand, Nu Udra's rarest High Rank drop is the Nu Udra Flamegem, with only a 3% chance to drop as a Target Reward. Similar to obtaining the Nu Udra Cerebrospinal Fluid, you have to prioritize severing its arms and carving them along with its body. Carving one arm gives you a 2% chance to obtain the material, while carving its body gives you a 5% chance. If you can, aim to sever all of its arms before the hunt ends.
Remember to also check Nu Udra Investigations and SOS quests and look for the rewards. Some quests will have these rare materials as guaranteed rewards! You can also opt to use Lucky Vouchers and utilize the Lucky Meal or Capture Pro Meal food skill to improve your chances of getting these rare materials overall.
