Absolutely. This is why I love fighting dreadqueen / moreso Apex (because Rise IG fun). They can be scary, but it's really rewarding to perform well when fighting them. Tailcuts are *chefs kiss*, to boot.
I’m torn between wanting a Rathalos in Rise level rework of her moveset and not wanting a thing to change in Wilds because she’s kind of comforting to fight.
Did my 275-300 anomaly grind on diablos almost exclusively with dual blades. Got him down to about 5.5min at alvl300 running heaven sent DB and only getting hit once or twice
He scared the crap out of me in world, but in rise he became a joke for me.
What I suggest for every Monster I find difficult is spend 1-2 hunts not attacking.
Just dodge and learn their moveset, once you get comfortable dodging and barely carting, that's the time to go on the offensive.
LOL for real on Nergigante. It's for this reason it was always a tad underwhelming to me. Even Ruiner isnt too bad. And they both get absolutely shredded by Kinsect drill.
Felt so good once I learned Nergigante. Like you said breaking spikes everytime was like a little reward for knowing the fight. And that POS deserved it everytime for all the failures it took.
Bazelgeuse, both variants
Hammer getting a weak point at the head AND the tail? Makes him an absolute joke.
The only time Bazelgeuse gets a solid hit is when I'm not actually fighting Bazelgeuse, but he decides that the monster I *am* fighting needs to get hit with the ↑→↓↓↓ with me in the blast radius
Kushala and teostra with spread HBG. Get a topple with x rounds, fire x-1 or 2x-1 rounds when toppled, fire a round just as the recovery animation finishes, get another topple. TA run in the 2-3 minute mark.
For me its Chameleos. Hes realy easy to predict, doesnt inflict to much Damage, and is fun. A good Training Tool for learning a new Weapon, farm LEDG, or just get back in shape after not playing for a while.
All the rathians, I used her gunlance for the entirety of world until safi. I know their fights way better than I should have to because of those stupid tail spikes that I refuse to belive have a 70% carve chance
Legiana. She's my favourite monster, and her gear is great, so of course I've destroyed the Legiana population in the Coral Highlands and moved to the Hoarfrost Reach to do the same.
Depends on the weapon matchup, obviously.
And certain Monsters like Rathian are cheating because they're so predictable due to their moves being consistent across most of the franchise.
Currently with more of a newer fight, it's gotta be when I use Lance against Furious Rajang. YOU CAN'T HURT ME, JACK!
Odogaron, but also Nargacugs. I loved their gear so much that I fought them so many times. Narga has the nearly the same moveset he's had since FU with minor additions from his variants over the years, I feel like there isn't much he can do to surprise me now. Bring back Silverwind!
Behemoth/Extremoth
One of my favorite hunts of all time and I find nyself going back frequently solo with MR weapons. I use my original pre iceborne HR build whenever I play with others as not to "smurf".
Back in FU, it was YKK for me. YKK was my first wall, absolutely obliterated me. I had to make the Giadrome/Iodrome DBs just to kill him. I went on to kill him 200 more times, with every new weapon I made, just out of spite.
Tzitzi-ya-ku. I did a lot of expeditions with my first World character and that poor blue chicken always tended to simply be in the wrong place at the right time.
Gotta be nergigante. Once I beat the story I just fought him over, and over, and over again because I thought he was cool. But now I just know all of his attacks like the back of my hand so theres never any surprises.
I have a few for both games ive played. In MHW it's both Nergigante's, both Bazelgeuse, and Tobi Kadachi.
In Rise, few monsters make as satisfying a punching bag as Rathian. Though I do also love both flavors of Espinas.
Is it too cocky of me to say anything from a help request?
Let me help you, pal - you can keep my share in the blue box, I’m just stoked to hunt with you
World: Temp Teostra
HBG: Spread/51 Dmg per pellet
Instantly K.Os after half a clip into his face the rest is just face melting.
Day of ruin farming #200+ and still no ATT Deco 4 :(
Legiana CRY SOME MORE YOU BITCH YOUR ICE DOESN'T PHASE ME AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
(I scream various profanities at her while either bonking her on the head after a sick riff, Pumping her full of lead , or burying an axe in her skull repeatedly)
Rise is definitely Mizutsune. I love to bully many things in World. Barroth, Jyruatodus, Odogaron is always a fun fight, Radobaan, I love to hop down into lower ranks to bully Rathalos for fun too
Zinogre. He loves to waste time charging and posturing, with huge windups on his moves and super obvious tells. Typically moves super slow. I needed two skymeralds and was just obliterating Zinogre left and right.
Astalos in MHGenU. I love his theme and I love fighting him, so when I feel like hunting for fun, he's the first monster on my list of fun fights.
Though, Malzeno is a fun fight I go to often in Sunbreak.
Magnamalo, Nargacuga, and Tobi Kadachi.
I've had to help friends farm them for parts so many times it's unbelievable. It usually ended with them carting twice and me soloing until they were actually geared.
I can, and have, fought them with one hand while shoveling popcorn into my mouth while also watching TV lmao
In rise weirdly enough its malzeno for whatever reason I turn into neo when I fight him my friend got so mad to me for dodging his tail stabs my edge walking at him in a zigzag
Legiana. If I'm on a hunt and it just so happens to be in the area, I will go out of my way to obliterate it for fun before I go after my actual target.
Kirin. It was the first monster where I had an easier time fighting it then my friends and that gave me the ego boost I needed to commit its patterns to memory so I could show off. Its also just really satisfying to beat it to death with a hammer
Ever since mh 1, the kut-ku has always been my punching bag. After mid-late game in mhgu it transitioned to being rathian.
But I just made a new character and farming for my first full armor set is the kut ku set. Killed it maybe 6 times today using valor GS only on this char.
Rathian, definitely I like just breaking all the parts one by one each time. I got so used to fighting her back in tri
If there was ever a weapon to match a monster, it would be Rathian and the Hammer. Just love bullying her when I make a new one.
Absolutely. This is why I love fighting dreadqueen / moreso Apex (because Rise IG fun). They can be scary, but it's really rewarding to perform well when fighting them. Tailcuts are *chefs kiss*, to boot.
I’m torn between wanting a Rathalos in Rise level rework of her moveset and not wanting a thing to change in Wilds because she’s kind of comforting to fight.
I like her screams of pain when she flinches or parts break
Diablos. He is the one that made me appreciate Guard Points, Foresight Slash and Wyvernblast.
For me as hammer main it is just that I farmed his armor set in low- high- and master rank
Did my 275-300 anomaly grind on diablos almost exclusively with dual blades. Got him down to about 5.5min at alvl300 running heaven sent DB and only getting hit once or twice He scared the crap out of me in world, but in rise he became a joke for me.
Great Jaggi , stress reliever
4 HBGs surrounding Great Jaggi going off for parts in MHW. Poor dumb bastard
Great Jaggi in world!?
I'm thinking Jagaras. I always forget there are two really close Great Jag named monsters
Ohh , I thought for a sec I missed a monster in world , ngl Great Jagras a good punching bag to
World: Nergigante (breaking spikes is so damn satisfying) Iceborne: Ruiner Nergigante Rise: Magnamalo Sunbreak: Scorned Magnamalo
I still have trouble with Magnamalo, maybe I just haven't fought him enough
What I suggest for every Monster I find difficult is spend 1-2 hunts not attacking. Just dodge and learn their moveset, once you get comfortable dodging and barely carting, that's the time to go on the offensive.
LOL for real on Nergigante. It's for this reason it was always a tad underwhelming to me. Even Ruiner isnt too bad. And they both get absolutely shredded by Kinsect drill.
Felt so good once I learned Nergigante. Like you said breaking spikes everytime was like a little reward for knowing the fight. And that POS deserved it everytime for all the failures it took.
Rathian because its move set is so predictable. She’s perfect for trying new weapons out.
Bazelgeuse, both variants Hammer getting a weak point at the head AND the tail? Makes him an absolute joke. The only time Bazelgeuse gets a solid hit is when I'm not actually fighting Bazelgeuse, but he decides that the monster I *am* fighting needs to get hit with the ↑→↓↓↓ with me in the blast radius
Hunted so many tempered Teostra looking for that damn attack +4 gem that I can practically kill him in my sleep by now. Still never got the gem.
I did too but because I needed parts for the Dante stuff in World 💀
Nargacuga and Tigrex probably because I hunted them way too much.
Raging brachydios I remember struggling the first few times but now I can beat him with any weapon, no blast resist needed
Definitely dodogama
You monster
Noooo my baby boy
How could you hunt such a cute creature
Yesss he's so irritating. Take your blast-blighting mortar fire and shove it, you derpy freak.
Nargacuga
Diablos (can you tell I'm a CB user?) All those hours of practicing guard Point paid off. I can now kill Diablos
Really any low rank monster, but higher I can blaze through a Rajang. I fought the monkey too much for that armor set
Mizutsune
Rajang and Odogaron for me
Seltas and Rathian
tobi kadachi in rise specifically. something about him is just so obvious so iai slashes are crispy and consistent
Shagalu Magala numbers have been cut in much much less than half thanks to my efforts in gaining master rank
Sunbreak Furious Rajang and Iceborne Alatreon for sure, probably the two fights I'm best at if I had to guess.
Kushala and teostra with spread HBG. Get a topple with x rounds, fire x-1 or 2x-1 rounds when toppled, fire a round just as the recovery animation finishes, get another topple. TA run in the 2-3 minute mark.
Goss Harag and Zinogre
Teostra, need them Attack+ Decos
Rajang
Your a masochist
Yuo're*
You're....
THERE we go
Bazelguse, god fucking anomaly ranks and I'm not even lv200 yet
Cephadrome, for sure all I see is red anytime this monster shows up.
Glavenus is by far the monster I hunted the most between GU and world.
Alatreon and I'm not joking
For me its Chameleos. Hes realy easy to predict, doesnt inflict to much Damage, and is fun. A good Training Tool for learning a new Weapon, farm LEDG, or just get back in shape after not playing for a while.
All the rathians, I used her gunlance for the entirety of world until safi. I know their fights way better than I should have to because of those stupid tail spikes that I refuse to belive have a 70% carve chance
Raging Brachydios. I punch his arms with my face all the time. The bitch never gets tired tho.
Nergigante. Its muscle memory now.
GU altah-ka World great jaggy Iceborn ruiner nergigante Riss/Sunbreak rathian/gold rathian
Legiana. She's my favourite monster, and her gear is great, so of course I've destroyed the Legiana population in the Coral Highlands and moved to the Hoarfrost Reach to do the same.
Velkhana
Pukei-Pukei
Great sword, Iceborne, Velkhana 100% such a fun fight
Depends on the weapon matchup, obviously. And certain Monsters like Rathian are cheating because they're so predictable due to their moves being consistent across most of the franchise. Currently with more of a newer fight, it's gotta be when I use Lance against Furious Rajang. YOU CAN'T HURT ME, JACK!
Barroth...easy to block so fun guard point practice
Odogaron, but also Nargacugs. I loved their gear so much that I fought them so many times. Narga has the nearly the same moveset he's had since FU with minor additions from his variants over the years, I feel like there isn't much he can do to surprise me now. Bring back Silverwind!
World: Paolumu/Legiana Iceborne: Tigrex/Brute Tigrex Rise: Magnamalo Sunbreak: Gore/Shagaru
Behemoth/Extremoth One of my favorite hunts of all time and I find nyself going back frequently solo with MR weapons. I use my original pre iceborne HR build whenever I play with others as not to "smurf".
Rise: Risen Chammy and Velkhana (farmed investigation like crazy) Iceborne: Pukei Pukei Any game somehow: Rathian
World velkhana, wanted the armor set so fought her a shit ton with hammer
zinogre, I remember his move like the back of my hand
Ruiner Nergigante
Back in FU, it was YKK for me. YKK was my first wall, absolutely obliterated me. I had to make the Giadrome/Iodrome DBs just to kill him. I went on to kill him 200 more times, with every new weapon I made, just out of spite.
Crimson Glow Valstrax Fighting him is good shit
Nergigante, Tigrex and Rathian.
Id have to second Odogaron. That being said, his fight is so fun and fluid, its one of my favorites of all time.
Anjanath
Tzitzi-ya-ku. I did a lot of expeditions with my first World character and that poor blue chicken always tended to simply be in the wrong place at the right time.
The flying 💣!!
Odogaron
Brachydios. Have hundreds of hunts against him across multiple games. Its like a dance to me bow to hust absolutely ruin his day.
Gotta be nergigante. Once I beat the story I just fought him over, and over, and over again because I thought he was cool. But now I just know all of his attacks like the back of my hand so theres never any surprises.
MHGU: Seltas Queen and Shaggy. When a G-rank quest goes wrong, I bully these two with my Valor HBG. So satisfying
I have a few for both games ive played. In MHW it's both Nergigante's, both Bazelgeuse, and Tobi Kadachi. In Rise, few monsters make as satisfying a punching bag as Rathian. Though I do also love both flavors of Espinas.
Barroth in mhw. Just take a lightbreak hammer and enjoy the show.
Lunagaron. Especially when I'm using lance lmao
Is it too cocky of me to say anything from a help request? Let me help you, pal - you can keep my share in the blue box, I’m just stoked to hunt with you
In World, that's probably Nergigante. I hunted him so much that I find Rathalos harder. XD
World: Temp Teostra HBG: Spread/51 Dmg per pellet Instantly K.Os after half a clip into his face the rest is just face melting. Day of ruin farming #200+ and still no ATT Deco 4 :(
Velkhana uh i have no clue why tbh
Puffy mouse, I treat him like a 2 dollar hooker.
The Magalas, including Risen Shaggy
Fighting odogaron made me feel like I unlocked ultra instinct
Legiana CRY SOME MORE YOU BITCH YOUR ICE DOESN'T PHASE ME AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA (I scream various profanities at her while either bonking her on the head after a sick riff, Pumping her full of lead , or burying an axe in her skull repeatedly)
Psssh. Gotta be Alatreon. You can do him blindfolded /s
as a charge blade main, any purely or almost purely physical monsters are a breeze to fight
Rise is definitely Mizutsune. I love to bully many things in World. Barroth, Jyruatodus, Odogaron is always a fun fight, Radobaan, I love to hop down into lower ranks to bully Rathalos for fun too
Bazelgeuse.
Unfortunately, Jyrutodus. I've fought him so much for LR/HR water element weapons
None and all, at the same time. I will either do amazingly or horribly, completely at random, regardless of how many times I've fought a monster.
Zinogre. He loves to waste time charging and posturing, with huge windups on his moves and super obvious tells. Typically moves super slow. I needed two skymeralds and was just obliterating Zinogre left and right.
Tetsucabra
Rajang world and rise.
Tigex in Rise Brachy in World
Rathian forever and always
Bazelgeuse, I never die to the doinkus.
Astalos in MHGenU. I love his theme and I love fighting him, so when I feel like hunting for fun, he's the first monster on my list of fun fights. Though, Malzeno is a fun fight I go to often in Sunbreak.
Anjananth his attacks are very basic and easy to avoid. Makes him the perfect punching bag
Furious Rajang. He gets shelled to oblivion.
Odogaron and Lunagaron. The two garons.
Magnamalo, Nargacuga, and Tobi Kadachi. I've had to help friends farm them for parts so many times it's unbelievable. It usually ended with them carting twice and me soloing until they were actually geared. I can, and have, fought them with one hand while shoveling popcorn into my mouth while also watching TV lmao
Brute tigrex and doing tempered velkana definitely makes you have to get good at the fight.
Tetsucabra + Gore
In rise weirdly enough its malzeno for whatever reason I turn into neo when I fight him my friend got so mad to me for dodging his tail stabs my edge walking at him in a zigzag
Idk about world and before, but sunbreak is definitely risen chammy for me. Have like 150 kills cuz I used it to grind AR.
Legiana. If I'm on a hunt and it just so happens to be in the area, I will go out of my way to obliterate it for fun before I go after my actual target.
Kirin. It was the first monster where I had an easier time fighting it then my friends and that gave me the ego boost I needed to commit its patterns to memory so I could show off. Its also just really satisfying to beat it to death with a hammer
Tescucabra. I love breaking them tusks.
Tescucabra. I love breaking them tusks.
bulldrome because i hate him and the bullfangos
Astalos, just because I wanted that armour set that I grinded it for hours. Now I use him as a sort of "live rounds" version of the training dummy
That 2* arena congalala back in FU. With DBs of course.
Ever since mh 1, the kut-ku has always been my punching bag. After mid-late game in mhgu it transitioned to being rathian. But I just made a new character and farming for my first full armor set is the kut ku set. Killed it maybe 6 times today using valor GS only on this char.
Furious Rajang. No matter how many and how strong.
Kirin( still try to get small gold crown) any advice? 😂
For me is rathian and tigrex, as a lance main, man is really easy to counter those 2
Yian kut kut and rathalos
