How to Beat Arch-Tempered Uth Duna
| How to Beat AT Uth Duna |
|---|
|
|
Use Thunder Weapons
Similar to regular Uth Duna, Arch-Tempered Uth Duna is weak to Thunder. It's best to use builds and weapons that utilize the Thunder element. You may even incorporate the Thunder Attack skill, which further increases your Thunder damage.
You can utilize Thunder Artian Weapons, Rey Dau weapons, or Lagiacrus weapons to take advantage of the monster's weakness to Thunder.
Increase Water Resistance
Arch-Tempered Uth Duna utilizes water attacks along with its physical attacks. This can inflict Waterblight to hunters, which decreases your stamina recovery. You can remove Waterblight by using a Nulberry or dodge-rolling continuously, but it'll make the hunt smoother if you can prevent Waterblight altogether.

Use Flash Pods to Stop Twist Dive Midair
When Arch-Tempered Uth Duna does its Twist Dive attack, where it leaps into the air to flop its body on you, you can actually flinch it mid-attack with a Flash Pod to stop it. This may also knock it down and you can get a good damage window from it!
Be careful as you can still get damaged by the initial jumps, even if AT Uth Duna doesn't complete its belly flop. Even just touching it while it's mid-air can cart you if you're not careful.
Flash Pod Location: How to Get and Uses
Get Rid of the Veils First
Similar to regular Uth Duna, Arch-Tempered Uth Duna has veils covering its whole body. These reduce the damage the monster takes. Keep attacking the veils to remove them so you don't have to deal with the reduced damage for a while.
Do note that AT Uth Duna grows the veils back after some time. It's especially harder to get rid of them from the arch-tempered variant of this monster.
Focus Strike Its Mouth After Double Twist Dive Attack
When angered, Arch-Tempered Uth Duna will do its Twist Dive attack twice in a row. After the second one, Focus Strike its mouth if it glows red in Focus Mode. A successful Focus Strike to this Weak Point deals good damage to the monster, and may even knock it down for a brief moment.
How to Use Focus Mode and Focus Strike
Use Aquatic/Oilsilt Mobility Lv.2 Skill to Combat Waves
While hunting, Uth Duna produces waves to disrupt your combos and mess up your positioning. Arch-Tempered Uth Duna further weaponizes this to damage you and bring you to compromising positions for its own attacks.
Using the Aquatic/Oilsilt Mobility skill at Lv.2 negates the disrupting effect of AT Uth Duna's waves. Just remember the skill has to be at Level 2 as Level 1 is not enough. You can wear armor pieces with this skill or slot in decorations with the skill.
Do note as well that this skill does not negate the damage that some waves cause, even at Level 2. It just allows you to pass through them.

Use the Dam Rubble in Area 15
If you find yourself in Area 15 with Arch-Tempered Uth Duna, make sure to utilize the Dam Rubble environmental trap by the waterfall. Activating this trap deals huge damage to the monster and knocks it down for a while. A good damage window if you don't get too caught up in the trap's waves.
Use the Loch Ruins in Area 17
When angered, Arch-Tempered Uth Duna will do its Wave Call attack when in Area 17. Once it dives into the water, drop the Loch Ruins when the monster is right underneath them in order to stop the attack and knock it out the water. This gives you a great damage window as well.
Use Unstable Rubble in Area 13
Sometimes, Arch-Tempered Uth Duna will swim by Area 13. If you can time it well, you can drop the Unstable Rubble on it to stop it in its tracks and deal huge damage.
Destroy Tempered Wounds
Whenever wounds appear on Arch-Tempered Uth Duna, make sure to Focus Strike or break them every time. Not only does this give you Wyverian Bloodstones, but it also staggers AT Uth Duna. It occasionally also knocks it down!
You can also utilize Offset Attacks or Power Clashes along with wound breaking to really maximize your damage windows.
Use Shock and Pitfall Traps
Remember that Arch-Tempered Uth Duna is still susceptible to Shock Traps and Pitfall Traps. AT Uth Duna is much more mobile than its regular variant. Coupled with its faster movement and less delays between its attacks, it's always good to find ways to stop this monster in its tracks.
Start in Area 17 Camp
Arch-Tempered Uth Duna will often spawn in Area 17, especially in the These Roots Run Deep Event Quest. If you have a Pop-Up Camp set up there, setting your departure point to the Great Lake Shore camp will save you time travelling towards the monster.

New Attacks
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
Swipe Lunges |
AT Uth Duna will swipe its arms at you, lunging forward with each swipe. To avoid getting damaged by this attack, time your dodge against the direction of the arm swipe. This means that when Uth Duna swipes its left arm to the right, you dodge to the monster's left side. |
Hurling Dive |
Facing its side at you, AT Uth Duna will dive and hurl its whole body at you. Once you see it turned to its side and roar at you, start running or dodge to the side to avoid getting hit. |
Old Attacks
| 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 it. |
| 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 |

| 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 |

| Tail Flick | When behind Uth Duna, it can flick its tail downwards to hit you. While not a heavy attack, it can catch you off-guard. Dodge backward or away before the tail hits you. |
