Spotlight on Uth Duna in Monster Hunter Wilds
As part of its ongoing promotional campaign, Capcom has released a series of gameplay videos showcasing unique monsters and experiences in the highly anticipated game, Monster Hunter Wilds. The week of December 9, 2024, focuses specifically on the apex creature known as Uth Duna, providing players with a glimpse into this formidable beast and its environment.
Initial Teasers Introduce Uth Duna
The first teaser video launched on December 9, 2024, offers a cinematic introduction straight from the campaign. Viewers follow our hunter protagonist as they navigate through the lush yet perilous Scarlet Forest, ultimately encountering Uth Duna—a formidable predator disrupting the ecosystem. Though not the elusive creature initially expected, Uth Duna proves to be a dangerous adversary that any hunter must prepare to face.
Here’s a look at that initial teaser:

Strategic Insights from the Second Video
In the follow-up video released on December 10, 2024, players gain valuable insights into the strategies required to combat Uth Duna effectively. Set against the backdrop of the Scarlet Forest’s riverine landscapes, the video highlights the unique challenges presented by the environment, including shifting tides that complicate movement. Uth Duna ingeniously utilizes these conditions to its advantage, enveloping itself in a protective shroud of fluids.
During the footage, a hunter engages Uth Duna by targeting its tail, breaking through this defensive barrier. This interaction illustrates not only the dynamic nature of combat in Monster Hunter Wilds but also showcases significant alterations in the creature’s behavior when its defenses are compromised.
Here’s the gameplay footage from December 10, 2024:
Uth Duna protects itself by creating a powerful veil made up of its own bodily fluids. Keen hunters can attack and destroy the veil, leaving the monster more vulnerable and reducing the impact of its attacks and ability to create waves. #MHWilds pic.twitter.com/1zeFa17tcp
