Replaying Monster Hunter World and my god fighting Bazelgeuse is a solid reminder of why I took a break from the world. The nerf he got in Rise was well needed cause holy shit in World Fighting Bazelgeuse is a healing simulator.

Get stunned by windpressure, then scale lands next to you, then detonates while you're still trying to recover from wind pressure. Then, ground tremors. Good luck hitting him from literally fucking anywhere unless you're using a ranged weapon.

And the Roar Spam. The dude will roar after every second damn attack. And his armor the earliest source of mitigating that shit unless you want to sacrifice defense for weaker armor.

Im so over this Monster's shit man.

WTF AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN ITS IN THE AIR????????

WYH DOES IT HAVE THE ONE ATTACK THAT THROWS YOU TO TYHE GROUND EVEN WITH ROCK STEADY ON????????? !!!!!!!!!

WHY IS DOES ITS HEAD HAVE A DAMAGE ZONE WHEN IT SUMMONS LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!??????????

WHY DOES ONLY SPECIFIC SPOTS ALLOW FOR WALL BANG???????

FUCKLING WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

no stories 3 tag so i had to make due. either way the title says it all. to preface, i just beat arkveld, i’m pretty late-game if not endgame myself but winning the fight wasn’t even fun. for some damn reason the buttheads at capcom decided to slide in a dumbass gimmick at the START OF THE ARKVELD FIGHT.

first off, they don’t give you any hints on what you’re supposed to do in the first few turns. because arkveld just fucking blasts you to hell taking two hearts off of you with his ultimate, then the game says “oh btw you gotta use ratha but like charge him up lol” the fuck does “charge him up” mean!?! also you couldn’t tell me that before? i had deviljho out previously because arkveld is typically weak to dragon but you’re saying i gotta use ratha? alright cool now i’m dead. back to the fucking internet i go!!!!!!

now i learn that you gotta give him a large attack boost which the game gives you (thank God) in the form of mega demondrugs. in a blue chest at the start of the arena.

(side rant: really fucking smart of you capcom to tuck those very useful items right in a little corner pocket in the form of a BLUE CHEST that is located in a BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE ASS CRYSTAL ARENA)

i mean, arkveld obviously isn’t the only one with a gimick but the other ones are FUCKING SENSIBLE. malzeno’s gimmick can be outhealed or ignored, the invasives gimmick is told to you by the clues you find around the arena and even then you only have to repel them, you’re not gaining much of anything special by killing them and doing so is optional.

when I’m playing a game where getting oneshot is REALLY DAMN EASY. I would AT LEAST like to avoid gimmicks that require me to eat a fucking nuke to the face before you tell me how to counter it. Fuck off.
