How to Find the Black Flame

Travel to Area 15 of the Oilwell Basin

Jump Down from Area 9

When you arrive at the Oilwell Basin Base Camp, take your Seikret and exit out to Area 4. From there take a sharp turn into Area 9 and travel along the cliff until you get the prompt to jump down. Once you do, you can glide straight into Area 15 where the Nu Udra is.

Finding Nu Udra's Traces

An alternate way of finding Nu Udra is to find its traces as you travel down the Oilwell Basin. If you investigate this, like the half-digested food on Area 7, you will be able to use its scent and have the Seikret follow its location automatically.

Keep a careful eye out since these traces, they look like black goop and is very easily missed on the ground.
