Jyuratodus has some really cool terrain manipulation, I love how it creates little mud bridges. Trouble is that you really aren't that much slower in the water, so it has barely any impact on the fight. Also the mud layer means you're getting constant part breaks on it and it doesn't get a chance to do anything. Tzitzi-Ya-Ku is a disappointing fight, but I'd have to give it a B or C because I'm always so happy whenever it shows up to relentlessly flash the monster I'm trying to kill. Also, aesthetically it reminds me of Waluigi.

[@alfredolsson3819]

Shara Ishvalda is actually one of my favourite monsters, I think I'm just a sucker for the spectacle. When the rock armor starts falling off and he rises up from the dust cloud, striking a towering and powerful pose, followed by a magnificent, terrifying roar that clears the dust and reshapes the arena as a faster, more dramatic version of the music track kicks in... It's probably one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed in a video game. Then there's his terrifying eyes and his awesome attacks that are a spectacle in and of itself. I personally didn't find the fight annoying or boring, but it is a bit different, so I see and respect how some people may think that. I mostly see it as a massive, theatrical spectacle and I love it. Also, his head is really fun to hit with a lv2 hammer charge or a hunting horn right swing :)

[@berg6190]

His opinions on shara are terrible. You don't need any skills to beat this guy. His design and theme, not to mention the fight itself are all higher tier than basic nargacuga or tigrex. Putting him below crap monsters like pukei, beotodus, uragaan and kushala is just an insult.

[@jacobherrera4616]

Thank you! Its refreshing to see some else who sees shara in the same light! As you said shara is a spectacle with its area, music, moves, and design! I felt like they did him dirty with how nergi finishes him off and the armor being lack luster but truly an amazing monster!!

I love his moveset, especially over his previous iteration, he is really fun to solo. I just don't like the mechanic, the gameplay loop for him is really specific and scaled really weird. If he only did two escatons after breaking a horn each time it would be fine but I often struggle to kill him solo before he gets a free cart on me because I can't do anything about the third escaton with ice/fire weapons. That's being really aggressive and punishing all of his openings too, it's just scaled really weird. Also introduced a friend to MH with World and we went all the way up to Alatreon no problem. I couldn't carry him with it, he would have to grind a shit ton just to make up for the scaling difference and he doesn't have much time to play so we regrettably sort of stopped there and decided to wait for Rise.

As a hammer player, Odogaron is such a fun fight. It's almost like a dance, since you have to remain so close to it.

[@alexquah784]

Really nice list. To reiterate on Lunastra's favoritism, I would say that weapon choice does in fact determine how easy she is. Funny enough, the weapon you main is the one that makes Lunastra easier to handle, because you can pole vault and dash over plumes and heatwaves she throws at you. Not to mention her wings are her weakpoint, so being able to dash above and spin your glaive around almost makes the fight funny in some way. I also think it has to do with that we haven't seen Lunastra in god knows how long. Back then she was a reskinned Teostra with crummy hitboxes due to the hardware limitations. But here, seeing her having a new gimmick, refined moveset, and more appropriate hitboxes makes her way better. For my experience, it's the same as above but with a few things. One is that Lunastra is and has always been designed to be a post game boss, so of course she is going to be tough. She may not be as difficult as Behemoth or Alatreon, but you can't go in after beating the game, expecting a cake walk or two(whether you think her gimmicks are fair is really up to you). If it helps future hunts, Lunastra's plumes can be put out by Crystalburst or Puddle Pods(DON'T WASTE ANY FIELD SLINGER AMMO. Believe me, it can really help besides doing wall bangs). Luring her away from her plumes also makes the fight less frustrating. It's funny that I see a lot of people prefer Teo over Luna, because Teo in Master Rank was a NIGHTMARE. There was this move where he would spread out craptons of blast powder, and I couldn't get towards him unless I had blast resistance or mantles. He would do this nonstop and I don't see the benefits of going ham on him while getting blasted twice. I think in later patches, they adjusted the ai where he wouldn't do it as frequently. I love both Bays, but MR Teostra really soured my opinion on him. Maybe in a next playthrough, when I become more resourceful with charms and skills, my opinion of him will be better lol

Surprised Zorah wasn't bottom because it is mostly just hitting rocks. Different strokes for different folks!

[@phrysma]

Amazing video! Enjoyed a lot watching it!

[@johan9428]

30:40 Two reasons for Beotodus, I think. 1) He is the first MR monster you fight, and the first to be fought in the Hoarfrost Reach. 2) Until MR Kulve Taroth came, his weapons were the best ice weapons in the game.

[@21ldavil21]

Damn, i love Shara Ishvalda so much and it made me kinda sad seeing him so low, i have played all monster hunters (with 4 being the only one i still haven't played) i have hunted him tons of time and he's my favorite final monster(maybe gog will change my mind once i play 4) i don't think he's boring at all and it's also really sad that he didn't get a Arch Tempered version...

[@goldendodo9125]

Man I really enjoyed Shara Ishvalda and I put him in S tier! He's my favorite final boss! *gaijin puts him in D tier* sad

[@yorozuya8018]

I love his design one of the best design in monster hunter world.

[@Kmosely42]

Beotodus is half lawn mower (sounds), and half land shark. That's why he gets C. He really sells the "land shark" aspect really really well because of the snow. Still a fishy punching bag but pulls the idea off for once.

What I look for in Monster Hunter is the "Feel-good value" of the hunt. Probably my #1 favorite monster is Brachydios. The way you swing at it, it beats back at you, you both are pivoting around each other, trading blows, it really feels like you are on an even playing field against your rival. And when you finally take it down, you *feel good*. That's why a lot of my top monsters are ones that have this same playstyle. Zinogre, Glavenus, Astalos, Nergigante. They all have that same even-playing-field vibe. I especially like acidic Glavenus, it felt like I was facing off against another hunter. I also love just straight up *badass* moments. My playthrough of Iceborne was with lance, and so when I got to Ishvalda, with my guard up and guard+3 on, I managed to tank a few ticks of his mega blast before I fell. Next fight, guard+5, barely took any damage, but I ran out of stamina. Next fight, slap on stamina, and that feeling of sitting there tanking the ENTIRE blast was great. That's a fun fight for me, always on your toes. Also, Jhen Mohran will always be in my heart. I can't think of any other time I'd repeatedly hunt a monster just because it was fun, instead of gathering parts. Of course, I'd hunt my favorite monsters many times to build their armor set, but I've hunted far too many Jhens. I wish they'd bring him back.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed this video. It was very entertaining and I loved hearing your opinions and hope you do more of these.

Odagoron is so fun though... Fought it with DB feels like we're dancing in the battlefield with how I'm rushing him and how relentless it is

Putting Teostra in S tier, hmm Putting Shara Ishvalda in D tier: H M M M

[@thecomplainer6365]

Yeah funky rankings for some these monsters im not going to say he's wrong for having an opinion but still

[@leahgreene5880]

Shara is boring and does nothing special. First phase especially is just a waste of time with how easy it is. It's also supposed to be a spectacle monster but isn't particularly interesting as a spectacle.

[@rrahu95]

You put Beotodus in C because of his motor sound when he charges

[@heywhoisthisguy]

My sensei was Nargacuga, personally. I started playing Gen back in the 3DS days, and never really had any trouble with Great Mac. Malfestio was pretty problematic but he wasn't all that hard. Narga, on the other hand... My first time fighting him I got my butt whooped. Back when I played the demo, he was the big boss I couldn't beat until... Everything just clicked. The moment I finally beat him was the moment I had fallen in love with the franchise. I'll always be thankful for him teaching me how to dodge, and for selling me on this series.

[@inanimatesum4945]

The thing that made Dodagoma S tier for me was seeing the Poogie in its outfit.

[@Synnabelle]

This was fun! It's interesting to see how different our opinions can be. I felt like we had similar points but then wildly different opinions on other things. But I'm with you, Dodogama isn't very cute and as a hammer main most of the filler monsters just get chain stunned to death. I tend to have the most fun with predictably fast monsters or slow with a bit of randomness. If the monsters head isn't the weakness the fight just has less appeal cause landing the golf swing in a monsters chin with the "ka-ching" sound is the most fun I have in the game. Vaal Hazaak is definitely a cutie and I farmed him a TON. Man I could talk about Monster Hunter forever. Btw my sensei was the Great Jaggia but I also include Querupeco the Jho caller in that category. But yeah I can't wait to see something similar when rise is finished!

I really dislike when a monster fills the map with tornadoes and the black wind is annoying, but the rest I like. The master rank version fixed the tornadoes by limiting it to 2 and they combine to one which I though was pretty cool. Also fire tornadoes are neat.

@@felonmelon3736 I like Lunastra and I think the monster has got unreasonably bad reputation for several factors I can't bother to list here. All in all I understand why people hate her but to me she's a really cool monster and a great challenge that serves as a nice slap to those "muh dps" hunters who only use damage skills and refuse to learn and adapt.

[@felonmelon3736]

@@yiangaruga4928 I think lunastra has a bad rep for a good reason. She falls into the category of “if you're unlucky, she'll spam the same broken move over and over.” which just isn't fun to fight. Kinda like old-world yain guruga, he may spam that chicken run over and over or may do it a few times.

I watched the whole video and I would dislike it if I cared to rate it at all. Kushala not being bottom teir is worth a dislike all by itself. But at least we agree on Luna.

we need the "questionmark system" back i don't like the fact that there are always 3 monsters on the map.
