In a recent post on Reddit, noiwontcalmdown shared an image of their hunter wielding the Jawblade greatsword against the flagship monster of the first game, Rathalos. The picture does an incredible job of recreating the box art that accompanied the originalMonster Hunteron the PlayStation 2. Some fans were quick to point out that it would have been even better if Capcom had made the Origin Armor available, but most were struck by how well the player had reimagined the artwork. While it isn’t the flagship monster any longer,Rathalos is still deadly inMonster Hunter Wilds, which means getting the perfect shot likely took quite an effort.
