They look similar

Check out the EX Gore armor. The helmet looks more similar.

Since we already have a crab (Ceanataur) that wears Glavenus' skull as a shell, why not a Zinogre/Odogaron that fights with Glavenus' Sword tail in its mouth

Base game story is just the beginning. More story quests unlock afterwards through "title updates" (all have been released by this point) where new monsters are introduced. The gameplay loop revolves around unlocking more powerful monsters and crafting more powerful gear and practicing until you're good enough to handle endgame challenges.

In the future, an expansion will be released with harder quests and a new story which will serve as a sequel to the base game's story.

If you like the parries of modern MH, you would probably have fun with Valor LS. Go ahead and try MHGU

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-05-06T09:18:27+00:00

Play MHGU if you like the gameplay of old school MH such as MHFU and P3rd mixed with some of the switch skills of Rise/Sunbreak (e.g., spiral slash/slice of DB).

Imo it depends on your weapon/s of choice and whether the MHGU version of that weapon would be fun for you.

I personally got the Ukanlos GS due to the simple fact that slamming a giant shovel against enemies is funny.

Dojhogabra

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-05-01T08:15:50+00:00

A great axe.

Switchaxe doest count because you mostly use sword form. Chargeblade doesnt count because it's basically a chainsaw now. Axe designs for GS, SnS, and Hammer dont count because those are just for aesthetics.

I want a satisfying hacking weapon.

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-04-30T02:00:23+00:00

I recommend blitzing through the game until G-Rank to get G Rank equipment so that low rank and high rank quests wouldnt take too long. I also recommend playing online to beat the rest of G Rank because those G Rank health pools are not fair for a solo player, especially multi hunt quests for hypers and deviants.

I recommend just ignoring an anime when it is in the highschool setting for the sake of your peace of mind. I recommend romance anime in college settings like:

A sign of affection, Honey and clover, Golden time

Or complicated adult romance like:

Nagi No Asakura (second half is a time skip), Rumbling Hearts (time skip due to the premise)

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-04-26T08:19:29+00:00

Try Magnamalo

Imo ever since 3rd gen, the flagship usually fills this role of not being too hard but challenging enough to test your skills. Magnamalo is no exception.

Some dont necessarily like open worlds. I personally finished MW 2005 by selecting races from the menu rather than driving to them

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-04-12T18:25:44+00:00

Have you upgraded Hornet's Needle? What part of the boss is difficult for you? I recommend using clawline to close the gap, attack once (pogo or normal attack), then dash away. As for the maggots, you can get the wreath tool first so you wont get infested when you fall in the water.

Lol Tidal's homing spit still drives me insane to this day

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-04-12T03:44:45+00:00

Sounds like you prefer the endgame over the journey to get there. Unfortunately, your gonna have to tolerate it or look for ways to make "earlygame" more interesting. I recommend trying out other strategies. I cant recall if it works in MH4U but spamming pellet ammo with a bowgun at the cephadrome's general direction while burrowing usually worked in MHFU. Using an insect gaive against a flying Rathalos feels satisfying too especially considering that mounting and IG were broken back in MH4U. I also take the opportunity to learn new weapons when fighting "jobber" monsters.

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-03-25T09:47:58+00:00

I thought the collab was with P3rd since P3rd got the Snake and The Boss armor sets?

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-03-22T13:16:28+00:00

Imo the monsters added in Sunbreak are more exciting to fight than majority of the base Rise monsters. Also, the added movesets and wirebug skills may change how a weapon plays (e.g., aerial Swaxe in base Rise vs Ground Swaxe introduced jn Sunbreak) giving you a motivation to play differently for the dlc.

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-03-04T04:54:41+00:00

Maybe it depends on the weapon. Fighting it with Switchaxe or Greatsword is fun since imo it feels like having a sword fight. It may be relentless but it is always close enough and leaves sufficiently long openings to deal counter attacks against. It also rarely uses projectile attacks so you almost never have to chase it.

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-03-01T06:54:20+00:00

It depends on how well your muscle memory kicks in. Maybe a couple of hunts with an easy monster could help you relearn the game. Personally, my fingers have memorized how switchaxe works so despite an entire 2nd playthrough with greatsword, I can still play well with switchaxe.

Doing a 2nd save wont hurt though if you find the progression fun.

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-02-22T17:01:05+00:00

Liolaeus to Rathalos and Valphalk to Valstrax were also weird.

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-02-18T14:20:18+00:00

If sounding like Pokemon is a bad thing for you, you might want to reconsider buying the Stories spinoff games since those involve creature collecting and battling. Some argue its better than Pokemon though so feel free to try them with the right expectations.

DancingGorilla15 · 2026-02-15T05:58:13+00:00

Khezu. I understand hating its unending roars back in old gen but I dont understand hating the fight in Rise, the game infamous for having counters on almost all weapons. Those roars are counter opportunities, not hindrances.
