How to Beat and Capture Rompopolo in Monster Hunter Wilds

For optimal preparation, equip water-element weapons (obtained from Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest), and gear with fire resistance (farmed from Uth Duna or Ajarakan). Consider crafting a Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I talisman. Don't forget a hearty meal to boost health and stamina!

Rompopolo Attacks and Weaknesses

Rompopolo's attacks utilize its gas-filled, saggy skin, resulting in explosive and poisonous assaults. Carry Antidotes; your Palico can also help mitigate status ailments. Key attacks to watch for include:

• Arm Swipe: A double swipe; easily dodged.
• Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging swipe attack.
• Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
• Poison Stream or Swipe: Poison gas spray or a charging swipe with poison.
• Oil Explosion: Explosions triggered in oil pools using its tail.
• Charged Oil Explosion: A larger, more damaging oil explosion later in the fight.

Should You Kill or Capture Rompopolo?

Weaken Rompopolo until your Palico notes its exhaustion. Use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps, followed by a Tranq Bomb for capture. Killing or capturing both yield rewards; some items are exclusive to capture, others to a kill. The differences are subtle, but impactful.
