Is this the best MH final boss?

>>725018054 (OP)
In a game where it was one of the only two new monsters? I guess

>>725018054 (OP)
God tier design. I want more egyptian themed monsters.

is this the japanese humor thread

>>725018054 (OP)
No, it was cringe shit. Second worst boss in the series after Rise.

>>725018843
The jokes are getting too meta.

>>725018054 (OP)
why are its ears pink

>>725019065
Thats its eyes

>>725019065
Have you not seen an orchid mantis before?

>>725019259
Nigga, you gay?

I think Wild's final boss is a strong contender. AK's got that machine form that you have to fight twice, it's kinda lame.

>>725018054 (OP)
god no
literally everything people shit on about combat or gimmicks in world, rise, sunbreak or wilds is in THIS boss.
This was not MH, this was some tumblr fan fiction tier monster.

Much like everything in generations, the tourists pretend it was better than it really was.

>>725018054 (OP)
No.

>>725019409
>insects are gay
Cunt, what?

>>725019796
>Fatalis
>Iceborne final boss
LMAO

>>725019870
We should probably start counting online final bosses now that the gathering hall has been fused with village.

>>725018054 (OP)
I loved this guy
cool armor sets too

>>725018054 (OP)
Lemme guess, GU is your first MH.

>>725018054 (OP)
Yes and it's not even close

>>725018054 (OP)
>Monster is literally the hunter
Kino trope

>>725018054 (OP)
Yes. It's fucking kino. Even the music.

>>725020136
Earlier MonHun games aren't worth playing, especially the snoy ones

World was only tangentially "mystical" and much less so than Rise- but Shara Ishvalda and the entire concept of life energy and its almost "pupal" form being it shambling around in literal chunk of shitrock before it "blooms" into a lotus and stares you down like a demon takes the crown for me. I dont think any other monster has that level of pure hatred in it, Fatalis is imposing but has a calm and stillness to it and Dalamdur or something may aswell be mindless

>>725019636
>Much like everything in generations, the tourists pretend it was better than it really was.
MHGU is great if you stop being a pretentious faggot who hates it because it isnt "le traditional Monhun classic gameplay"

>>725018054 (OP)
Really overrated boss, the mech phase is not nearly as cool as it should be and gameplay wise ir sucks

>>725018054 (OP)
Nah, she was way too easy

Shara Ishvalda and Fatalis were much better.

>>725022216
id like a game that uses real gameplay mechanics already established one day.
>fire damage can burn the lashings and drop the attachments
>cutting damage can cut them
>poison damage can stop it from using any "webbing"
>blunt damage can destroy the organ itself

but it seems like MH damage types are just attack buffs and only "help" you to reach a damage threshold for a break but serve no mechanical purpose. Wilds for example could have had you use that "GRAFIX" grass burning tech to affect a monster with a sensitive nose

>>725018054 (OP)
No world is only mh with good monster

>>725018054 (OP)
as much shit as risebreak gets (rightfully so), i thought primordial Malzeno was probably my favorite final boss in the series from a gameplay perspective.

He doesn't have anything overly gimmicky to cheapshot you, nor an annoying phase where you can't hit him because hes flying 30 feet in the air something; He's fast but his attacks are telegraphed, and even during his spaz-out mode you're still able to sneak a few hits in with the faster weapons before his arbitrary tuckered out part. Only bad part about his fight is the DOGSHIT area 5 on the citadel map, because he always ends up taking the fight to the small ass hallway next to it. really have no idea why the map designers made area 5 like that when the map is otherwise pretty good

I disagree

after putting hundreds of hours into 4u and gu Im pretty shocked how fucking awful world is.
>unskippable cutscenes
>finding monsters is a pain in the fucking ass
>broken movesets making everything trivial
>planning out your quest items no longer needed

is rise/wilds any better?

>>725022868
this has less theatre than Safi Jiiva's silent star nuke drop

>>725022198
>B-but the older games are too slow and clunky and... and..
Then go play DMC or something else, what a fucking dumb retarded ADHD zoomer

>>725022959
you put hundreds of hours into older games but somehow the entire map being loaded and the ability to permanently earn the monster appearing on the minimap instantly is a pain in the ass?

why would it have gotten worse for you specifically, the games have become trivial because of your level of autism

>>725022193
I remember being so let down by this nigga until the rocks fall off. I do wish repeat fights just skipped straight to the second phase, makes him boring as shit to refight.

>>725023102
Fatalis is way more fun that safi once you learn his moveset.

>>725018054 (OP)
Yeah, hope it's in stories 3

>>725023197
is there something Im missing because in GU I can just pop a psychoserum and see instantly what zone the monster is in and go straight to it. in world I have to wander around aimlessly until I find its shit on the ground and then keep wandering around tracking it and it takes way too fucking long

>>725023265
yeah true, i shouldve said that also, i just meant the blue star was more biblical to me than Fatty Nova.

>>725023668
you need a psychoserum everytime even if you "just" have to pop it. the tracking is neither here nor there because ultimately i appreciate they tried something to advance the title of monster "hunter" it just turned out kind of arduous and shitty. All i know is the map is open and once ive permanently scouted the monster its there every time and i can zip to it by going to the nearest camp as opposed to sprinting through 5 loading screens. in the end i dont think i give a shit about it more than the fact they fucked both approaches in Rise and Wilds.

all this to say, no, Rise and Wilds are not better than 4U or even World

>>725022193
Shara and ahtal ka are the contenders for best bosses in mH by far. Gog gets a third place followed by ceadeus because of the music alone.

The divine level bullshit shara does when she breaks off the rock shell and starts leveling the island with her sonic fingers is amazing even If she's a valstrax clone.
Meanwhile Ahtal Ka is just a fucking bug, not even Elder Dragon and that bitch literally rides a mech. love how the last stretch of the fight is just a pissed off Ahtal ka throwing all the junk she can find at you like this shit is a Hunter vs Hunter PvP match

Rise bringing back amatsu and not ahtal ka was pretty stupid
>game about wire bugs
>doesn’t have the wire bug monster
Also for the base game
>game about rampages
>doesn’t have the monster that uses fortifications against you
And before you say
>rampages are mega gay cringe
I agree, which is why the in lore reason for why they no longer happen could literally be ahtal ka taking over the rampage cave and taking control of it.

>>725024796
Ahtal ka is too much work to program in, and would overshadow any other monster.

>>725024796
Athal ka was malzeno of GU, she can't exist in other monster hunter
I wish they bring back more frontier monster instead since gu barely did anything for frontier and i would love to see some frontier maps in gu

>>725024946
While I sort of agree. She’s also a bug. It doesn’t have to literally be ahtal ka it could have Wirebug Ka or whatever the fuck. Just doesn’t make that much sense that the wirebug game didn’t have a big bad insect monster (the spider doesn’t count I mean final boss tier)

>>725024946
If gore can show up randomly so can malzeno, especially since his ecological role is to prevent qurio infestations, it was gaismagorm that kicked off the plot

>>725018054 (OP)
Yes, the best and the most fun.

>>725018054 (OP)
Is there even a MH game with a shit final boss? not counting base games

>>725025730
Wilds.

>>725025901
>not counting base games
learn to read pajeet

>>725025730
Sunbreak

>>725025730
Sunbreak and gu

>>725025985
>>725026497
>filtered

>>725018054 (OP)
Also the best arrangement of mark of a hero

>>725026570
no one got filtered by gorm he's the easiest final boss in the series

>>725025730
MH1G. every iteration of fatalis prior to iceborne is dogshit but first gen was especially bad

>>725027009
they didnt get up to gorm, malz filtered them

>>725022715
I think its pretty cool that he enrages x3. Transforming monsters are no longer a novelty but PrimoMalzeno going further beyond makes him special

>>725022193
*Stares at you, the player.*

>>725027607
malzeno is also easy as fuck

>>725018054 (OP)
No. You'd only think this if you're a retard casualfag who beats every monster once and considers the game "beaten". Atlal-Ka is cool for the first hunt, but it doesn't hold up for ten, let alone a hundred. It's still a scripted fight that is very easy to learn. The best final boss is either Ukanlos or Amatsu

>>725024796
Rampages cheappened the monsters's "character". It should had been hordes of small monsters with the so far between shit mon raptor as an elite and apex predator as final challenge.

>>725028036
I dont think this turned out to be true, i havent got the exact source but i remember "the devs" coming out and saying they didnt do that intentionally. In lieu of an actual source to back it up id like to bring up the "Mona Lisa Effect" where it seems to happen- i think they designed the eyes in just such a way that they do the same thing

>>725023265
>Fatalis is way more fun that safi once you learn his moveset.
The opposite for me, once you learn Fatty, you end up just baiting out his cone breath attack because it's the most consistant punish.

>>725025730
unironically 1 Fatalis

>>725028229
Can confirm, Shara's eyes are essentially an optical illusion which makes it seem that they're tracking you.

>>725018054 (OP)
Easily, yeah pretty much.

>>725018054 (OP)
Will it be in Stories 3?

>>725028101
and yet you got filtered by it

>>725024946
>Malzeno can't exist in other monster hunter
why? Is Malzeno Blanco even categorized as an Elder Dragon threat? He's supposed to be a goody two shoes dragon that somehow never attacks towns

>>725018054 (OP)
the theme is

>>725028229
not intentional? Yeah we know it's an optical illusion, the cutscene right after where nergiGOD SOLOES Shara its eyes are normal, but damn that effect added a lot of flavor to its transcedental theme.

>>725027012
>>725028493
is it similar to dos fatalis? i like that

>>725022193
yeah but the fight was shit, so the only thing that matters ultimately

>>725030501
It's world, all fights are shit lmao

>>725028345
I don't really bother with cone baiting, draws out the fight too much. Once you get a single horn break you should be able to tank anything he does for the rest of the fight. The only problem is you need a double break for the guaranteed evil eye, which is kinda lame.
One other problem I guess is some weapons just suck complete ass against him, like the bow.

>>725018054 (OP)
No, if it was, it would have been milked to death by Capcom.

>>725030701
Really? It felt like zorah magdaros but smaller. Just a boring lumbering wall of rock.

>>725030501
im usually open to see other points of view but i dont know how you can say it was shit when it has everything any other boss has. i get not liking world and all the fights are shit if you dont like world gameplay but Shara Ishvalda is a passable if not GOOD boss fight
>some of it is good but it turns out actually shit
doesnt really make sense

>>725031153
lumbering wall of rock is cool, like a hippo or a cow or something. you think its just doing its thing and it wants you to fuck off.

>>725025730
>Freedom Unite
>Tri (story)
>3U
>MH4 (guild hall)
>Generations
>World
>Rise
Take your pick of shit final bosses

>>725031752
hippos are fast and very aggressive

>>725022193
I'm still mad we didn't get AT Shara. He's easily one of my favorite MH final boss

>>725033559
AT elders are kind of lame. I prefer newer fights than the same thing with cranked up numbers and 1 new move.

no, Extremoth is

>>725018843
lmao

>>725034850
Behemoth is lame. Just have the HBG pull aggro and coat him with clusters.

>>725023135
just play guild nigga
hell if you let aside crutch skills like absolute evasion the skills fit in really well

>>725022715
>otherwise good
half the maps is just empty corridors and the ice cave is just one tunnel in and out to an empty hole
