A new area called Oilwell Basin will be introduced to players inMonster Hunter Wilds, and it may prove to be a breathtaking new setting for the series. Some of the most exciting settings are expected ofMonster Hunter Wildsgiven how dynamic the world appeared in the trailers.
The Oilwell Basin is a good example of how early signs are holding up in that regard, fortunately. With its name and theme, it has a great chance of becoming one ofMonster Hunter Wilds‘ more exciting locations. Not only that, this location will feature an apex monster, which is going to be a technical marvel for the game, but a nightmare for the players.
Nu Udra is probably the most horrific but technically marvelous monster inMonster Hunter Wilds
IGN recently released a new video that gives us a close-up look at the Nu Udra, a slimy, oily monster that resembles an octopus and has the ability to burn itself alive. It has far too many orifices that suddenly open, pulses when it grabs you and moves, and writhes when you attack it. Yuya Tokuda, the director ofMonster Hunter Wildsis quite proud of it because he thinks not only this creature is brilliantly designed but is also a technical achievement by the development team.
Without a doubt, director Yuya Tokuda had to sort through a lot of new monster proposals before deciding which would be included inWilds. As you might expect, a proposal would be evaluated based on a number of factors, such as overall design, technical viability, and fun factors. Now we know the recently revealed monster is his favorite. This is what Tokuda stated:
When we saw the tests, we also thought to make it the apex predator of the Oilwell Basin. While there are countless proposals that I’ve had rejected due to technical reasons, it feels like I’m finally getting to attempt one of those this time around.
The monster’s impressiveness is difficult to overstate. It’s difficult to get a creature like that to accurately interact with the landscape, particularly when you include all the lighting effects after it’s on fire. It also darts into a hole, which is a moment the animators want viewers to focus on.
We may not all see the same animations because each person’s battle with Nu Udra will be unique.“It might not be easy to get the chance to see it, but the way it squirms around while wrapped around a pipe is so well made, too,”Tokuda continues. Even though the creature is amazing to see, it’s crucial to avoid becoming overly fixated on how disgusting it is.

It uses light to signal when and who it will attack thanks to sensory organs at the tips of its tentacles. You can quickly whittle the creature down and transform it into a fresh calamari by cutting off a large number of its tentacles. With these many exciting additions, it’s no surprise thatthe upcoming title has climbed the top spotin the list of the most-wishlisted games onSteam.
Oilwell Basin is the perfect place for Nu Udra to wreak havoc
Although Oilwell Basin isn’tMonster Hunter‘s first volcanic setting, its visual appeal makes it difficult to overlook. There are spouts of flame, rocky caverns, and oil fields that both monsters and hunters can traverse.
Furthermore, some parts of the Basin have scaffold-like structures amidst the fire, giving the impression that they are burning buildings rather than caves. You can even see the same oil dripping from these buildings. Oilwell Basin is unique amongMonster Hunter‘s volcanic locations in that it has a particularly eerie atmosphere.
The Black Flame trailer forMonster Hunter Wildsdid a good job of showcasing Oilwell Basin, highlighting some of the local monsters. With the latter two being fire-wielding monsters and the Black Flame and Rompopolo sharing an oil motif, the Black Flame, Ajarakan, and Rompopolo couldn’t appear more appropriate for the setting.
Not only do they all have intimidating appearances, but their unique designs may also result in some really awesome sets of gear for successful hunters. The footage of these creatures in the Basin, particularly the hideous Black Flame form, effectively conveys the danger of the area.
Nu Udra inMonster Hunter Wildsmay find fuel in Oilwell Basin, another significant feature of this location. One important factor might be the oil that covers some areas of the environment. For example, hunters without the right gear may find it more difficult to navigate greasy areas because they may be more slick.

Furthermore, because the oil is obviously flammable, fire attacks might cause it to ignite when it strikes, causing explosion damage to the surrounding area. This would increase the usefulness of flame-resistant equipment and fire attacks. Oilwell Basin would be a challenging biome to manage with mechanics like these, butthat might add to its excitement.
