All Monsters Ranked From EASIEST To HARDEST - Monster Hunter World Tier List

[@darkhero2]

That's almost my longest video ever 😅 Which monster gave you the most trouble?

[@JonathanNormandy]

The rankings were overall fine, but I feel like 5 tiers isn't enough to properly scale everything. Like there should be a tier inbwteen extrem and hard, and inbetween medium and easy.

[@maminebanko5451]

Fatalis = 10 days of few attempts in day Alatreon = rage quited a game for half year and then few attempts every day for next fifty days Alatreon for new players like me and in fact that you can fight him instantly after ending Iceborne Campaign makes him absolutely nightmare and best gigantic wall which I ever beat after hundreds attempts My favourite monster of all time

[@Monsterhunter16]

Yeah same, I had to switch to dual blades for elemental. He’s way harder than fatalis.

[@Relicnovaa]

I’m not there yet I’m hyped to learn and fight it

[@Qing-Dynasty96]

The difficulty on Alatreon is very artificial, because of the elemental threshold bullshit.

[@Monsterhunter16]

@@Qing-Dynasty96 that and overall he’s just super aggressive

[@bielmfig4534]

I got alatreon in only one day, it was just learning his moveset and as I was already using elemental ig it was easier than fatalis which took me a week to defeat also he gives plenty of openings, most fire and lightning attacks give you some sweet openings

[@hunterkinsella5303]

Raging Brachydios is one of, if not the most infuriating fight in World, imo. There is a special place in hell for that monster. (Still one of my favs tho 🫶)

[@Bodphrah78]

I was hoping he would be up there. He is one of those I have still yet to beat, but I keep putting it off as me and my group get bodied by him

[@hunterkinsella5303]

@@omarfelix5287 🤷 idk I think AT velkhana is harder but definitely not more annoying.

@@hunterkinsella5303 right, I get what you mean. you´re totally right.

[@TheDexecutioner]

Really solid list! Genuinely think the only change I'd make would be to swap Rathian and Legiana - Rathian is so predictable she'd sit at the top of easy for me, while Legiana has a couple of quick attacks that can catch you off-guard, especially with slower weapons. Think she deserves bottom end of medium

[@rodolfoquintana9756]

I would leave it where she is, Legiana is the personification of "circle around" as a new player to the series and soon as I understood that, she became a punching bag with useful loot while Rathian even though she is predictable, if she caught you at the middle of an animation, you get poison or a nice stun, punish mistakes harder and uses to diferent aliements vs Legiana that with some elemental L you can just survive any shot; she's loud though, I give her that

[@malkaviian]

I remember first time on iceborne when i first faced Rajang, was so overwhelming that made me quit for months, im a CB main and he was destroying me, change to longsword, SnS, Insect Glaive and still couldn't pass him. Months later, i came back from work, and boot up World, pickup my main and go straight against him... Killed it first try without carting I learned so much about the combat and how to use my weapon properly because of him... Still hate that fucker thou

[@BoogieWoogieCat]

You cannot be serious to say that the very first wall in the game is an easy monster. I get it, Fatalis is tough and we've all beaten him. But Anjanath is not an easy monster for a beginner and that's the whole point of that monster.

[@DragonMasonHealer]

Anjanath IS an easy monster. And there's plenty of monsters before him that should have gotten the hunter to be proficient with their weapon. If Hunters had difficulty fighting him, it's most likely that they were just hack & slashing their way through all the weaker monsters without ever being good at their weapon. Anjanath has a giant hit box. Very telegraphed attacks. Lingering animations. Susceptible to traps and ailments. Etc etc.

[@cuddlecakes7153]

​@@DragonMasonHealer Yeah but no because he deals a TON of damage especially for what your armor is at the time, many attacks one shotting you. He IS a hard fight

[@JonathanNormandy]

​@@cuddlecakes7153 Once again, that's the point. You have to dodge attacks. Facetanking and healing is not viable.

[@smitty7326]

It's tough to judge in a list like this I think. The monster itself is not terribly difficult in its design and moves, however it is very difficult in its placement in the game because it's a stat check.

[@DragonMasonHealer]

@@cuddlecakes7153 No he isn't. There's plenty of armor that mitigates the damage he does. He's an easy fight.

[@Pwanchi]

Rathalos & Rathian, and every single one of their subspecies can suck one. Half the hunt is just chasing them around.

[@grokashrimp]

Thank you. Furious Rajang really got my goat

[@hughbarry9471]

Alatreon took me 2 years, mainly cus he made me rage quit for months on end multiple times. Now that I’ve beat every monster, Fatalis is the only one that can still give me a decent challenge. Id still say alatreon is the hardest cus of how long u need to prepare to kill him.

[@kosciarz]

I'm noob lbg user, I like how difficulty of monster change compared meele vs ranged fights. Is like almost it is different game. Very nice video I like it a lot!

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

my first MH was World, and i also started off with the LBG! it was comforting in a game full of other systems that i had to learn. my advice? after your playthrough or sooner if you like, definitely pick up an intermediate melee weapon (i chose Hunting Horn.) it will be a revelation

[@kosciarz]

@@WeeWeeJumbo When playing with lbg I feel "safe", when demo of Wilds hit next week, I will try all of the weapons at least once! Have a nice day!

[@DragonMasonHealer]

I don't know. Sure, having range may make it seem easier, then your character gets hit and you realize that you take A LOT of damage because ranged weapons (At the bows I used) have no passive defence. The easiest weapons I've used have been melee weapon that can parry, block or counter.

[@kosciarz]

@@DragonMasonHealer Hm well I did not know about it, thx:)

[@monsieurglu]

I have bullied so much gold rathian (with full aerial IG :D) but this is a great ranking :)

[@zeomatrix3]

So many people putting out that Alatreon is the hardest and 100% are saying so because of the extra requirement of dealing enough elemental damage. The thing is, he has massive openings from the slow lightning, fire and ice attacks (rearing up to rain down bolts, ice breath in straight line where he stands still, rings on the floor that explode out that you dodge into the middle after the first ring triggers etc) that making that requirement is really simple after taking the time for just observation. I honestly think the main issue people face, (aside from playing with the guardian set and being way too OP to learn anything throughout the base game) is playing with other people all the time. Not because playing multiplayer is bad, but because not only can you easily pair up with people much better than yourself and get carried ahead without learning actually what works and doesn't, you don't get to see how all the attacks work because the monsters attention is split between the group, leaving it so that when you do decide to play solo, you're in hunts you just aren't capable of because you haven't learned or experienced how the game actually works. So many randoms i've played with in 2 man hunts that just completely rush in and get slapped because they are used to the groups of 4 mobbing a monster into KO/stagger endlessly. It's gotten better as time as gone on, but early on it was so common to find people wearing "meta" gear and getting wiped because they failed to understand that the gear didn't fill the gaps that actual experience was needed for.

[@ckwi2245]

Change I'd make would be: Move Black Diablos and Acidic Glavenus to between Yian Garuga and Fulgur Anjanath. Acidic being above Reguluar Glavenus feels wrong, and Black Diablos is really just shortening the CD on her moves. Frostfang Barioth I'd move to bottom extreme, not because what you said is wrong, but because of how often that fight often ends up in tight corridors. Fast, minimal recovery time, and wide radius in a tunnel... ouch. Really an environmental booster. On a not related to this tier list specifically note, but to the video itself. Make sure to have the whole tier list visible for a chunk of time at the end of the video instead of cutoff/cropped off so when you ask a question about our opinions on the list we don't have to scrub the video back and forth to find the rest of the list. WILDS OBT NEXT WEEK!!!

[@hunterkinsella5303]

Yeah I agree

[@KingOfMalevolence]

Idk, maybe it's because I did Fatalis before I had augments for my weapon and armor, but Fatalis was waaaay harder than Alatreon. His moves hit way harder, pretty much every attack oneshots you in phase 3, he leaves damaging fire everywhere, and has a time limit. All Alatreon has is his elemental check which isn't that hard to pass, and he gives way more openings than Fatalis.

[@Mr.Starlight_gaming]

Some comments Bazel and jho are 100% in the same tier (i'd argue bazel is harder since the bombs are unpredictable) Extremoth on launch was an absolute nightmare, insane tier for sure. Ragang and lunastra in extreme is nuts, there nowhere near as hard as the others in the tier. Fatalis and alatreon are hard, sure. Not even close to the hardest bosses in other games like the promised consort for instance. I hope wilds will be a much more difficult game overall.

[@hunterkinsella5303]

The worst thing is… it probably won’t be. Considering the direction they went with rise, AND the fact that they’re simplifying armor builds even more, it’s not gonna be a hard game. I just hope it’s not as easy as rise was.

[@sigbladeion6341]

Only one I always disagree with as namielle. My experience she is always just a big punching bag that is super easy but super healthy due to the odd hit zones. Also am I the only person who though original rajang was tougher than furious? I feel he leaves more pauses between attacks than normal.

[@uhagi6720]

Alatreon is only hard because teammates in SoS do two things: -Bring Dragon/Wrong Element -Get Dragonblight and never remove it, causing them to do nothing but cause a failed hunt

[@ReVolHcTiB]

Imma solve that issue right now Why not just play solo, since it's easier

[@FrostBytePlayz7]

Before the video starts, im just gonna say this now- Nergi is a pain in the butt during base game, specifically because of its dive bomb ability. Now maybe slightly controversial, base Teostra, Vaal, Kirin and (believe it or not) Kushala are extremely easy. Now I havent beat the entire game yet, but based on my experience so far these are my opinions.

[@kumikamii]

I thought I wouldn’t have trouble with black diablos, until doing the heavy metal I the waste quest..and being stuck between black diablos and savage deviljho The pain

[@TheXAllosaurus]

Placing Furious Rajang at extreme but not Raging Brachydios is unacceptable, in my opinion, Raging Brachydios is even harder than Alatreon

[@darkhero2]

I personally never had problems with Raging Brachy, especially when he goes into his final area. The fight becomes even easier there

[@TheXAllosaurus]

And I don't have much problem with Furious Rajang, considering I beat him first try, while Raging Brachydios made me retire from the game for 3 years until recently I had my revenge with the help of my friends

[@Bfdibfdiaidfbbfbtpot24X]

I’m pretty new to the monster Hunter franchise so if you ask me anything all you’re getting out of me is anjanath diablos Rathalos and deviljho please correct me in the comments if I got any of those names wrong

[@Madladsen]

Zinogre below Brachydios and Tigrex, and Rathian in medium with Lavasioth in easy, really? Your reasoning is also a bit all over the place, sometimes a monster ends up in a tier because it can do something if you are not careful and sometimes a monster can end up where it does because if you know what you are doing its not really that hard. These two arguments are contradictory. Would also say that Furious rajang is easier than Raging Brachydios, simply because he gives you a lot more room to work with. His attacks cover a much smaller area and multiple of them give you some breathing room.

[@rodolfoquintana9756]

Pink Rathian and Azure Rathalos are getting my hate, farming those rubies is getting nuts, I have like 200 scales and 100 carapaces

[@Fluxikator]

Anjanath and Kushala are my hardest base game monsters. (I just finished the base game.) Anja because i simply was a noob and Kushala because of its unblockable attack that screwed my over with my lance. (Up until then basically everything is blockable.) And i hadnt have guard up yet. Teostra was manageable because its a bit slower so its easier to get the powerguard guardup buff. I neede also 2 attempts at xenojiva but out of my own stupididy in not blocking his attack where he breaks into the ground, it was significantly easier than kushala once i got the hand of that attack.

[@cuddlecakes7153]

[@Roy_Spartan]

sorry but the second you said some monsters which were walls to many people in community were easy because basically should've learned how to actually play the game/use your weapon just ruined this list. As another hunter whos played thousands of hours, every monster in your hardlist is as easy as Anjanath and Diablos by the logic you used. Brachy and Tigrex were my most forgettable fights, and personally required much less attention than Rajang. Definitely needed more tiers of difficulty as feel like some monsters should not have been grouped up the way they were, i get you said its subjective, but doesnt come off that way from how you described encounters unfortunately. Anyway despite the criticism love to see mhw content, and look forward to more of yours. Happy Hunting.
