How to Beat Nu Udra

Nu Udra Monster Fight Tips
Mouth Becomes a Weak Spot After Multi-Slam Attack Fight from the Front Focus on the Arms Roll Off the Fireblight Douse Nu Udra's Flames with Puddle Pods

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.

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.

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.

Bring all healing items as you may need them when you face Nu Udra for the first time.

You'll also want to bring Cool Drinks to avoid the DPS from hot areas where Nu Udra resides.
