How Many Monsters From MH3U Are Really Missing?
Hello. Monster Hunter Wilds is upon us soon, depending when I actually get this out, and I was thinking about my ceaseless screeching about Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate monsters so I decided to take a little look at the last time some of these monsters were seen.
I’ll start with the latest games and work my way backwards. Also, like I said, I took a quick look online for these, I’m sure I missed some or some may be wrong but I’m not doing this for a job so who cares? Rise/Sunbreak. In Rise we had Barroth, Barioth and Diablos, all of which were also in World but we also got the Great Wroggi, Royal Ludroth, Arzuros, Volvidon and Lagombi. I like the Great Wroggi, I like it’s armor, I remember when we first were fighting the Aknosom the Great Wroggi was around and I immediately pivoted to fight that before the Aknosom to start getting it’s armor.
World/Iceborne seemed to have only the Uragaan come back which isn’t surprising since the Radobaan was the same but bones, the Rajang I think was in 3U and the Deviljho/Savage Deviljho. I remember in 3U at first the Savage Deviljho would just appear randomly during some quests so if you wanted to work on its armor and weapons you’d have to try to hunt it before hunting your target. At some point they added a DLC quest where a Qurupeco would summon it. I fought that thing a lot, I really wanted its armor and duel blades. Uhh, Brachydios came in at some point to, he’s a pretty cool guy, kind of terrifying seeing him in World.
Generations Ultimate had most of the 3U and 4U crew, base versions mostly. This will be the last time we’ve seen Lagiacrus, Duramboros, Agnaktor, Plesioth, Niblesnarf and the ice baboon that I just remembered but can’t be bothered to look him up. I have no love for the Plesioth or any of its relatives. Lavasioth, Cephadrome, the ice one, all of them. Get them all out of here, I don’t need them. Just like the rock bastards, I only fight these guys when I have to check a box in my quest log. I like the Niblesnarf, I like its weapons, its armor, and I like the fight. Drop a bomb as it charges you, blows up, fish it out of the sand, smack its throat dongle, it is fun.
So, from what I can tell the Gigginox, Gobul and Qurupeco are the only monsters from 3U that we haven’t seen since. I’m sour on Khezu because he’s been in every game since 3U aside from World. He’s just such a lazy alternative to Gigginox. He’s the same body type as Rathian, Gypceros, even the Plesioth types. I understand since he is the same body type it’s easier to do that then a monster that has no other comparison like Gigginox. The fact that Khezu isn’t in World though gives me hope that we’ll see Gigginox in Wilds. I saw on a Playstation Underground (I haven’t heard of that in many years. I had a Playstation Underground demo disc back in the PS1 days.) video about Nerscylla in Wilds that it apparently wears Gypceros carcass or something and someone in the comments or Reddit said that the Nerscylla’s variant wears a Khezu skin so, it could go either way. The Nerscylla variant could wear a Gigginox. And look at this armor, come on! It’s so fucking good! Bring back the Giggi! Gobul is another favorite of mine, I like the armor a lot and one of the biomes they showed off was a watery environment and I thought it’d be a great place for the Gobul. We’ve had the Royal Ludroth and Lagiacrus fight outside of water so they could do it for the Gobul as well. It could go underground/water and pop up under you sort of thing.
So I GUESS we have seen a fair share of mons from 3U in the later games but even including GenU we’re still missing a ton of variants from 3U and 4U. A few other monsters we haven’t seen since GenU are the Seltas Queen, Zamtrios and Malfestio. I love that little owl. But I really hope for the Gigginox and Gobul, this game and the biomes we’ve seen thus far are perfect for both of them. I don’t know about the Qurupeco though, maybe if there’s some place tropical like in Sunbreak. Someplace he and the Cogalala and Najarala could hang out. (Who names these fucking things?) I’d also like to see the Tetsucabara make a comeback as well. I guess he’s another one we haven’t seen since GenU.
Other than that, since my last post I went to a local shop and found Wii Sports Resort. That’s been fun. Waiting for Wilds I’ve just been cycling through between Wii Sports Resort, Metriod Prime 2, Kid Icarus Uprising, Mario Kart 7, losing my god damn mind, Mario Kart 8, Fire Emblem Engage, mostly with my new found appreciation for Miis just using it where ever I can. I got my 3DS copy of MH3U from upstairs and thought I’d load it up to just fight a Gigginox but apparently it doesn’t have my old save data. Sad. I also remembered at the beginning of new Monster Hunter games I usually try to match my armor and weapons but then I forget about it down the road so I think I’ll try to do that again. I’ll do that and then if I end up deciding to do mix sets then I’ll keep it like that without transmogging. I think transmogs are kinda lame. I don’t know, maybe if it’s a crossover thing that is strictly cosmetic than fine I guess. Anyways, we’ll see how far all that goes.
So, what monsters do you think are likely to make an appearance and which do you hope to see? What are you doing to pass the time before next Friday? Also, do you think Miis are going to continue over to the Switch 2? They have Miis in Mario Kart 8 and 7 so I’m wondering if they’ll be in the next one. Let me know your thoughts below and I’ll be back sometime! Bye-bye!
