Rompopolo is a Brute Wyvern that players first encounter in Chapter 2 during Mission 2-1: Toward Fervent Fields. When you reach the Oilwell Basin region, this monster will appear on your way to Azuz City, and defeating it is essential for progression.

After your initial victory over Rompopolo, its details will be added to your Large Monster Field Guide. You can battle it repeatedly by exploring Oilwell Basin or by accepting the "Oilwell Basin Blast" Optional Quest from your Tent.

For this fight, equip water-element weapons—likely obtained from Uth Duna in Scarlet Forest—along with fire-resistant armor pieces. Early options include Uth Duna's belt and greaves, with more available from Ajarakan later in the chapter.

Consider crafting defensive items like the Fire Charm I or Defense Charm I. Don't forget to eat before battle for health and stamina boosts.

This peculiar wyvern uses its gas-inflated body for explosive attacks that can poison hunters. Always carry Antidotes—your Palico may also assist with status cleansing.

Key attacks include:

Arm Swipe – Two close-range claw swipes

Lunge With Arm Swipe – A charging attack combining movement with powerful claw swings

Tail Swing – A sweeping tail attack

Poison Stream or Swipe – Either a linear poison gas spray or a head-swinging charge while emitting poison

Oil Explosion – The monster detonates oil pools by injecting gas with its tail stinger

Charged Oil Explosion – A more powerful version of Oil Explosion that deals massive damage

Should You Kill or Capture Rampopolo?

Near battle's end, you can choose to capture or slay the monster. For capture, wait until your Palico remarks that it's exhausted (indicating low health), then use either Shock or Pitfall Traps. Follow up with Tranq Bombs to complete the capture.

Both methods yield different item rewards—some exclusive to capture, others to kills. Below are the confirmed drop rates:
