Player plays Monster Hunter for the first time, defeated the most difficult opponent where even experts failed

In the first of two phases of the 2nd Beta to Monster Hunter Wilds, the players were able to face two more monsters. One of them caused despair in rows. A newcomer managed to defeat the strongest monster of the beta.

Which monster is it about? The monster, which numerous hunters cost many nerves last weekend, is the flagship monster by Monster Hunter Wilds: Arkveld. Flagship monsters are a kind of “boss monster”-particularly strong opponents that represent the “final boss” of every game by Monster Hunter. Many players made it clear that it would not be particularly easy to oppose Arkveld.

Numerous experienced players literally bite his teeth on him, as many threads show on Reddit, in which the hunters complain and celebrate with those who do it (via Reddit). No wonder that newcomers were very difficult with him.

The special difficulty in the beta was not only with the monster itself, but also with the tight time limit of 20 minutes for hunting. Many therefore failed or managed to defeat him shortly before. A newcomer now divides his story on Reddit and harvested admiration – because he hadn’t played a single monster Hunter before.

“As a newcomer? You are a natural talent! ”

What story does the player share? In his thread, user wingnut7489 shares some screenshots with the words: “Arkveld killed. It is a great feeling for me as a newcomer. ”He had not played a single monster Hunter before and is now proud to have defeated all the monsters of the beta including Arkveld. He didn’t even die in this run. Almost 2 minutes before the timer ended, his group of 2 newcomers and 2 veterans finally managed to beat the monster.

How does the community react? In the comments he harvested admiration from the community:

  • Denofgames01 writes: “Well done. He is a great fighter, but the timer is a killer. “
  • Jargochl celebrates him: “As a newcomer? You are a natural talent! “
  • Hyendry ceremoniously accepts him in the hunters’ ranks: “Newcomer in the sense of your first monster Hunter? Welcome, op! I can’t wait until you can play the whole game. “
  • Draxsis_felhunter congratulates: “Congratulations on the most difficult monster in the second open beta set.”
  • In addition to admiring comments, there are also some veterans who give him and all other players who had problems with Arkveld with tips on how they ultimately did the whole thing.

    What tips do the veterans have? For example, user Joeljb960 advises to mix the armor set and equip the following parts if you face Arkveld (via Reddit):

  • 3 parts of the doshaguma set (breast, helmet, legs)
  • 1 part of the head of hope (poor)
  • 1 part chatacabra (hip)
  • It is also important to strengthen yourself with meals in advance and to focus on not to pass out because the way back to the monster would cost too much time. Likewise, after his big dragon explosion, a weak point on his arms is offered. Through it you could use the focus mode to bring it for about 3 seconds and cause a lot of damage. Others advise you to catch him instead of defeating him. This would save a lot of time.

    Next weekend, interested hunters will again have the chance to oppose Arkveld and the other monsters.
