The Distant Dark Tide is a Master Rank Event Quest in Monster Hunter World (MHW). Event quests are repeatable but can only be participated in during the time which they are live.

My mother used to lead a hunting party and told me once of a story where pleasant weather turned to violent storms, forcing the party back and spoiling a fine expedition. Perhaps the cause was Namielle. I hope your hunt divulges some answers... - Client: Blue-eyed Hunter

The Arch-Tempered version of the Namielle monster can be extremely deadly. Note its very high damage and OHKO potential via many of its moves.

Some tips for hunters:

• Namielle will always start in area 4 and always go sleep (from low health) in area 8 (so no wall bang wake up is possible) in this quest.
• Eat for Felyne Safeguard (6x Preparation Ingredients) and Felyne Insurance (Daily Skill) at the Canteen before the hunt.
• Ranged weapons work best with proper spacing and knowledge of attack patterns. Otherwise, it may lead to getting one-shotted
• Note that Namielle takes 0 damage from shot type damage on its wings when shot from the outside. it still takes damage if shot from inside.
• It tends to flood the whole field with water, and it can tremor the hunter much more often than regular Namielle
• Its electricity can arc much farther than a regular Namielle. Take care to notice the position of puddles of water while in battle.
• Bring Vitality mantle and Temporal Mantle. Rocksteady mantle, if used improperly, may lead to an early demise.
• Can only be flinch-shotted once into a wall before it gets enraged.
• Do NOT try to tackle, roll, or tank the large electric discharge (ultimate move). use the dive evade (superman dive) instead.
• Both Water Resistance and Thunder Resistance skills are recommended, preferably more than 20 points to prevent Waterblight and Thunderblight.
• Bring healing items for your companions (i.e. Dust of Life, Lifepowder, or preferably having one support (wide-range) on the team)
• Namielle has very good hitzones for fire (elemental damage) when wet (and charged) all over, while it has very good hitzones for raw damage when dry.
• Use Brightmoss to drain the puddles around the area
• If your mantles are down and she is "electric" beware of OHKO from her slam
• Patience! Slow and steady wins the quest; don't underestimate the damage it can deal in one move.
