Monster Hunter Wilds Introduces Ajarakan and Nu Udra as Formidable New Foes

The fiery Ajarakan and the cephalopod Nu Udra bring unique challenges and mechanics to the Oilwell Basin biome.

Ajarakan, a fire-infused fanged beast, debuts in Monster Hunter Wilds with explosive attacks and stamina-driven aggression.
Players first encounter the Ajarakan in the Oilwell Basin during Chapter 2, with its molten lava abilities intensifying in its enraged state.
Water and Ice elemental weapons are highly effective against Ajarakan, with its arms and tail being key weak points to target during combat.
Nu Udra, a new cephalopod monster, emerges as a surprise apex predator after the Ajarakan battle, boasting fire-based attacks and severable tentacles.
Both monsters introduce unique mechanics and require strategic preparation, including armor sets that counter their fire and blastblight effects.
