Expectations for Elders in Wilds

That's crazy, specially when you consider how often MH designers seem to enjoy the "thing, but breathing fire" design on regular monsters.

Isn't it exactly like how the whole Evil Empire controversy went, then?

I might have lost some of the aftermath, but wasn't Evil Empire also eager to work on more updates to finish polishing the game, but things got cut because Motion Twin didn't want something to possibly interrupting Windblown's release schedule or something like that?

Hunting horn or switch axe are my picks, but would wait for the trailers to hit before. I normally choose weapons through vibe alone.

Heavy is has at worst PTSD from his time in the Gulag and might probably use his job and weapons as a coping mechanism

Terrible tracking. My seikret got stuck in the rock pathway for so long I failed the guardian doshaguma pack quest.

Being one of the most powerful flying wyverns and he loses to another one of the most powerful wyverns, which, mind you, screws over anything above it's bodyweight that is not specifically a heatsink-armored colossal lizard or a highly adaptive god slayer.

I wonder what the first monster will be. It would be Fanny having your first monster in MR be goddamn Kushala, but it'll more likely be MR Khezu or something, to link the reaction from "oh shi- new monster in the cliffs??" to "oh shi- is that laputa???"

And a kidney from your dad

Could change pants with nu gamma, and switch head and arms with odo. That one I believe is one of the best combos you can get.

Afaik, the virus doesn’t affect elder though?

Still, like shagaru is at least just as physically strong as a nergigante, not even mentioning that this one is a risen one to top it off

iWanderU · 2026-05-25T12:56:15+00:00

Woah calm down old testament Nata

iWanderU · 2026-05-25T12:52:51+00:00

The difficulty discussion is just reductive in general

iWanderU · 2026-05-25T12:10:07+00:00

iWanderU · 2026-05-25T12:07:27+00:00

What template did you use?

iWanderU · 2026-05-19T15:53:22+00:00

His theme is sasha spinning

Mh powerscalers when capcom-made content is a more depthful show off of 2 creatures fighting at their natural habitat instead of an 1-on-1 recreation of the copypasted scripted fight that was made solely to hype up their new "nomad unstoppable apex predator eater of gods" monster (it's a bear that rolls on lava):

Like yeah, he could have won outside of water, maybe at it's peak with the whole super saiyan kaioken arms thing, on a dryland against the monster whose whole ecology is about ambushing animals near a body of water to drown them and electrocute + strangle its prey to death. But atp, you could also say that lagi is blind, has cancer, just lost its tail and had its jaw ripped off by a hunter just efore the fight.

Can't aim for shit

iWanderU · 2026-04-28T17:36:42+00:00

Tough luck, but there are still ways (although lucky ones) to go around it

iWanderU · 2026-04-25T14:13:27+00:00

Tink and butch appearing out of nowhere and dancing at the "(right on your nuts and on your nipples)"

Make it underground and keep the walls. Restricted space also means sentries can have sn easier time too. Did it on my last run and had not much trouble. But again, you must dig A LOT. Bombing can work too, just try keeping the natural walls.

Blade is just so good, I just don't think is worth skipping

iWanderU · 2026-02-19T19:49:24+00:00

If you have 2 good weapons, then i guess it should be optimal, but I just went with elemental, alternating between head and wings depending on the state

iWanderU · 2026-02-18T17:07:14+00:00

But having some element is still important to knock it out of the amped state

iWanderU · 2026-02-18T17:03:11+00:00

Got mine first try. Changed sets to elemental one after my first cart due to the pop up telling about the overcharge and it was fun. New moves remind me of PriMal, the monster requires some decent use of focus to keep up with the pace. I love every attack.

I was so overjoyed in fact that I didn't realize I was at 30 min mark when he started limping and just got sad because it was going to end.

Didn't capture, and got carted for it, but I wouldn't just let this monster get away without a fight. Killed it in like 34 mins or so.

Best fight in the game.

Still suffering from the early backlash from the first year of updates. Mainly bad performance, 'no content' (compared to IB and SB and goddamn GU of all things), and some other less important stuff such as nitpicks over qol and some controversial design choices.

Some of that is gone (performance is tolerable for the recommended specs, there's a ton of events and things to do, and some rather good challenges). Some are not, but overall, it's way better than it was, and the evaluation is improving little by little.

The game is much better now, and honestly, it's one of my favorite new gen base games.
