Summary
Monster Hunter Wildschallenges players toface off against various monsters, both old and new. Many of these monsters come with their own unique attack patterns that make each battle feel fresh and filled with action. While fighting a monster may be thrilling, one of the greatest reliefs is once that monster has finally been bested for good, and the Mission Complete screen shows.
Out of all the available monsters inMonster Hunter Wilds, these are the few monsters that are by far the most satisfying to beat, be it due to nostalgia from fighting them in previous games in theMonster Hunterfranchise, or due to the sheer challenge they create to battle them inMonster Hunter Wilds.
8Gypceros
Putting An End To Being Flashed
Gypceros is arguably one of the oldest monsters inMonster Hunter Wilds, with its debut being in the originalMonster Hunter. While some players may find this monster to be quite satisfying to beat due to this nostalgic feeling of facing it again, others may feel differently.
Gypceros has one of the most annoying attacks inMonster Hunter Wilds, as the crescent on its head is used to blind attacks so that it can make its escape. While fighting this supposedly timid monster, Gypceros will use this attack constantly, stunning the player in place. Combining this withits jump and tail whip attacksmeans once this foe has finally fallen, many players are incredibly satisfied to see it has ended.
7Rey Dau
The First Apex Predator The Players Defeat
Monster Hunter Wildsintroduced the concept of Apex Predatorsto the various biomesthe player explores throughout the story. These are the main monsters of that area, which are far more of a challenge than the others and only appear during a certain event in the biome.
Rey Day deserves a place for being one of the most satisfying monsters a player beats due to it being the first Apex Predator the player encounters. Defeating the Bright Thunder Wyvern in the middle of a sandstorm is not only an epic battle but also a great relief once this giant predator has fallen.
6Nu Udra
So Many Ways To Severe And Then Defeat It
The sixth generation of Monster Hunter introduced players to an entirely brand-new type of monster known as Cephalopods. These eight-legged monsters that resemble an octopus are usually at the top of the food chain inMonster Hunter Wilds, with Nu Udra, the Apex Predator of the Oilwell Basin, being no different.
Nu Udra can be surprisingly agile as it lunges around, making it quite a difficult enemy to strike. Though there is something incredibly satisfying about severing each one of its tentacles, this looks even better when it is fully defeated, which also finally gives the player a breather.
5Rathalos
Defeating A Nostalgic Monster Again
Alongside Gypceros, Rathalos is another classic monster from the first generation ofMonster Hunterthat has continued to make its appearance in otherMonster Huntertitles, includingMonster Hunter Wilds.
With Rathalos appearing more commonly than Gypceros, this is another monster that is satisfying to beat due tothe nostalgia of facing it. Players can test if their skills have improved since facing the King of the Skies in the past, as well as feel good about themselves when the king falls from the sky after a possible stressful battle.
4Gore Magala
A Chaotic Demi Elder Filled With Frenzy
Demi Elders can be just as horrifying as a regular elder dragon, especially if it’s a monster like Gore Magala, who has been considered one of the most aggressive monsters in theMonster Hunterfranchise.
With players only encountering this creature once they have unlocked the high ranks ofMonster Hunter Wilds, it’s no surprise that players find it to be so satisfying to put an end to Gore Magala. Even without Gore Magala being a fully mature Elder Dragon, the frenzy caused by this monster makes him one of the hardest in the game, which only adds to the relief of defeating it once it is finally beaten.
3Zoh Shia
The Final Boss Of Monster Hunter Wilds
Although Zoh Shia doesn’t make much of an appearance inMonster Hunter Wildsasthe final main boss of the main story in the game, this is still one of the most satisfying monsters to beat in the game. Everything the player has done throughout the story ofMonster Hunter Wildshas led up to this point, which includes one of the most epic cutscenes in the game.
Finally, putting an end to the weapon that was created by the past civilization of Wyveria is such a great relief not only from a story point of view but also due to the chaotic fight within its Dragontorch Shrine arena that sees the player dodge out of the way of various attacks.
2Jin Dahaad
Defeating The Largest Monster In The Game
Even with monsters that are harder than Jin Dahaad, as the largest monster inMonster Hunter Wilds, it’s no surprise that it is also one of the most satisfying to beat. Besides watching this humongous creature fall to the ground.
Jin Dahaad can also be quite a challenge, requiring the player to need the aid of others to put an end to it, which makes seeing the mission complete on screen that much more satisfying, especially when considering the heat-sink attack Jin does where he can entirely wipe out a monster hunter with an explosion.
1Arkveld
Putting An End To Its Rampage
Unsurprisingly, the most satisfying monster to beat inMonster Hunter Wildsis Akveld. The monster appears on the front cover ofMonster Hunter Wildsand is the monster the player is hunting across all the biomes inMonster Hunter Wilds, so it makes sense that Arkveld is one of the most intense battles.
Fighting Arkveld for the first time is one of the most emotional moments in the sixth generation of the franchise, as players put an end to therampage caused by Arkveld. Its attacks are just as chaotic as its story, with players jumping out of the way of explosions which they are relieved to see the end of once Arkveld has finally ended.
