Prepare for a memorable encounter! Rompopolo, a truly unique beast in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, awaits. This guide will walk you through defeating and capturing this ferocious Brute Wyvern.
You'll first cross paths with Rompopolo in Chapter 2, during Mission 2-1: Toward Fervent Fields, within the Oilwell Basin. Defeating it is key to progressing your journey to Azuz City. Once conquered (even once!), its entry will grace your Large Monster Field Guide. Feel free to rematch this unique wyvern anytime—either by chance encounters in the Oilwell Basin or by tackling the “Oilwell Basin Blast” Optional Quest.
How to Beat and Capture Rompopolo in Monster Hunter Wilds
Strategic preparation is key. Equip water-element weapons (Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest is a good source early on), and prioritize fire resistance gear. Uth Duna and, later, Ajarakan offer fire-resistance gear, or craft a Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I talisman. Don't forget a hearty meal to boost your health and stamina before the hunt begins!
Rompopolo Attacks and Weaknesses
Rompopolo's unique attacks stem from its gas-filled, saggy skin. Be prepared for explosions! Its attacks also inflict poison, so pack Antidotes. Your Palico can help mitigate poison, too.
Here's a breakdown of its main attacks:
- Arm Swipe: A double swipe—relatively easy to dodge.
- Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging attack with an arcing swipe.
- Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
- Poison Stream or Swipe: A poison gas stream or a charging swipe with poison spray.
- Oil Explosion: Rompopolo uses its tail stinger to ignite oil pools, creating explosions. Dodge!
- Charged Oil Explosion: A larger, more damaging explosion later in the fight. Dodge!
Capture or Kill?
Both capturing and killing Rompopolo are viable strategies, offering different rewards. To capture, weaken it until your Palico notes it's "tired," then use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps followed by a Tranq Bomb.
