Rompopolo, a Brute Wyvern, first appears in Chapter 2, Mission 2-1: Toward Fervent Fields, within the Oilwell Basin. Defeating it is crucial for progressing the storyline. After your initial encounter, its entry will be added to your Large Monster Field Guide. You can rematch Rompopolo repeatedly in the Oilwell Basin or via the "Oilwell Basin Blast" Optional Quest.

Mastering the Rompopolo Hunt

Optimal preparation involves equipping water-element weapons (obtained from Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest) and fire-resistant gear (farmed from Uth Duna or Ajarakan). Consider crafting a Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I talisman. Boost your hunter's health and stamina with a pre-battle meal.

Understanding Rompopolo's Attacks and Weaknesses

Rompopolo's unique attacks utilize gas-filled, saggy skin for explosive assaults. Be prepared for poison attacks; carry Antidotes and rely on your Palico's ailment-cleansing abilities. Key attacks to anticipate include:

• Arm Swipe: A double swipe easily dodged due to its short range.
• Lunge With Arm Swipe: A charging attack with an arcing swipe.
• Tail Swing: A straightforward tail attack.
• Poison Stream/Swipe: Poison gas sprayed either as a stream or during a charging head-swing.
• Oil Explosion: Explosions triggered by Rompopolo injecting gas into oil pools.
• Charged Oil Explosion: A more powerful oil explosion used later in the fight.

Capture or Kill: The Choice is Yours

Capture or kill? Both are viable strategies with slightly different item rewards. To capture, weaken Rompopolo until your Palico notes its exhaustion. Use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps, followed by at least one Tranq Bomb.
