In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the beasts you'll face are not only fierce but also unforgettable, and Rompopolo stands out as one of the most distinctive monsters in the game. If you're looking to conquer this unique Brute Wyvern, here's a comprehensive guide on how to defeat and capture it.

Rompopolo, a Brute Wyvern, is first encountered in Chapter 2 during Mission 2-1: Toward Fervent Fields. You'll meet it in the Oilwell Basin region as you journey toward Azuz City. Defeating Rompopolo is essential to progress further in the game. Once you've defeated it at least once, Rompopolo's entry will be added to your Large Monster Field Guide, allowing you to engage in battles with it repeatedly. You can find it roaming the Oilwell Basin or trigger the "Oilwell Basin Blast" Optional Quest from your Tent.

To prepare effectively for battling Rompopolo, arm yourself with water-element weapons, which can be obtained from Uth Duna in the Scarlet Forest. Equip gear with fire resistance, which you can farm from Uth Duna or Ajarakan later in the chapter. Consider crafting a fire-resistance Talisman like the Fire Charm I, or a general Defense Charm I to bolster your defenses. Before engaging Rompopolo, don't forget to cook a meal to enhance your health and stamina.

Rompopolo Attacks and Weaknesses

Rompopolo, with its unique bipedal form and gas-inflated skin, unleashes a variety of gas-based attacks that can lead to explosions. It can also inflict poison, so keep Antidotes on hand. Your Palico can assist in cleansing ailments, which can be a lifesaver in combat. Here are the key attacks to be aware of:

  • Arm Swipe: Rompopolo uses its clawed arms to swipe forward twice. This attack has limited range and is easy to dodge.
  • Lunge With Arm Swipe: It charges forward while raising its arms for an arcing swipe, increasing the attack's reach.
  • Tail Swing: Rompopolo swings its tail to hit targets nearby.
  • Poison Stream or Swipe: It sprays a stream of poison gas or charges while swinging its head and releasing poison.
  • Oil Explosion: From a distance, it uses its tail stinger to inject gas into oil pools, causing them to explode. Dodge to avoid damage.
  • Charged Oil Explosion: Later in the fight, it pumps more gas into the oil for a larger explosion. Dodging is crucial to avoid significant damage.

Should You Kill or Capture Rompopolo?

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you have the option to either kill or capture Rompopolo at the end of the battle. To capture it, weaken the monster until your Palico indicates it's "tired." Then, use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps to ensnare it, followed by at least one Tranq Bomb to knock it out, completing the capture.

Both killing and capturing Rompopolo yield viable rewards, though the items you receive may vary slightly. Some items are exclusive to captures, while others are obtained through kills. Here are the potential drops from Rompopolo:
