The race is on once again as Monster Hunter Wilds<\/strong>\u2019 new \u201cThe Daunting Downpour\u201d Free Challenge Quest has players competing for the shortest completion times possible. This Hunter Rank (HR) 50 minimum requirement quest takes place in the Scarlet Forest, where an Arch-Tempered Uth Duna runs rampant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with previous Free Challenge Quests<\/a>, The Daunting Downpour allows players to complete the hunt with whatever equipment they wish. They\u2019ll need all the help they can get, as the Arch-Tempered Uth Duna hits harder and boasts more health than the regular and Tempered variants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Arch-Tempered<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Water-element Leviathan, the Arch-Tempered Uth Duna is resistant to Water damage and inflicts Waterblight, which slows stamina recovery. Be sure to bring enough Nulberries<\/a> to counter the effects of Waterblight and keep an eye out for its attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike Mizutsune\u2019s water beam and water spray moves<\/a>, which are clear-cut water attacks, Uth Duna loves to dive in and out of bodies of water. Thanks to the monster\u2019s large size, it is easy to predict when Uth Duna is about to do a belly flop or call in waves of water to flood the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjusting the field of view in the game\u2019s settings<\/a> will allow you to deal with Uth Duna\u2019s more unpredictable movements on land. It will occasionally swipe with its tail and arms, as well as bite at you, depending on your relative location to it. Uth Duna may also charge at its target if it is out of reach, so be ready to dodge to the side<\/a> to avoid any collateral damage.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save for Water-based damage, all other types of attacks should work well against an Arch-Tempered Uth Duna. It is equally susceptible to Poison, Paralysis, Sleep, Blast, and Exhaust, but is more resistant to Stun. As such, you may not want to use a Hammer or Hunting Horn against it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
