Witcher 3 VETERAN encounters LESHEN in Monster Hunter World for the First Time

#gaming #monsterhunterworld #monsterhunterworldiceborn #mhw #monsterhunter #witcher #witcher3

[@blackmantis1511]

I love the fact that our hunter was clearing out the entire Ancient Forest during the Leshen fight, which means warding off at minimum the Raths, and possibly up to Kushala Daora

[@Kaltar_]

It wouldve been cool if our hunter would help out in the fight as a npc lol

[@Smillymonkey]

Rath and Kushala are 2 of my highest killed monsters in World so it fitted for me.

[@codymason1053]

At the time when this crossover came out, flashpods werent nerfed yet so any rath or kush in the sky was as good at grounded lol

[@beefmeatloaf]

​@@codymason1053in the middle of fighting you see rapid flashes atop the ancient tree

[@tiredtortoise3396]

Indeed. It was a simple yet excellent balance of giving Geralt his time to shine without overshadowing your actual character - going too far either way would have left Witcher fans or Monster Hunter fans feeling snubbed. It also made me personally happy as that is exactly the role I have taken in Monster Hunter co-op with my earlier-game friends - they would hunt the main monster, I would hunt whatever else was on the map unless called for.

[@quiotu]

Not gonna lie... Lunastra was the monster in the original MHW that I went 'yeah I think I'm done'. Then when Iceborne came out, I got myself Master Rank gear, returned and just steamrolled through those missions. :D I regret nothing.

[@ultrakirby9052]

I remember thinking that the Anginath was the hardest monster ever and then when I returned after Iceborn came out and got The clutch claw made it so much easier.

[@dantecanales-perry1739]

The lunastra and teostra double arena battle stopped me till iceborn. Then my vengeance on them was 10 fold

[@Outlaw7263]

Same

[@mikehawk8984]

I just recently completed MHW base game and had NO idea that they did a collab with The Witcher. And as a massive Witcher fan I was just like "wait.. is that a fucking nekker?" And then Geralt popped out of a portal and I fucking squealed as a grown man 😂😂

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@starzariaguy5151 yeah that have me a kick too internally when he said that 😂

[@cobaltchromee7533]

I mean... It's *technically* correct, since Luna's only ailment is fireblight. Teo has blastblight on top of that

[@derekbuhler2492]

Lunastra used to be a spay painted teostra

[@BrookD.Artist]

i think he meant ice

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@BrookD.Artist I think it's a dig at the fact that like every single subspecies in rise except 1 was a fire version of the original monster, something he complained about a lot in rise (Blood orange bishaten, magma almudron, Pyre rankna kadaki who is ALREADY A FIRE MONSTER, flaming espinas, ect)

[@crowsenpai5625]

I love the little detail that the whole reason Geralt is free to just explore the Ancient Forest is our Hunter is running perimeter work driving off anything that even LOOKS at the Ancient Forest.

[@azuremoon2096]

The balloons tower defense collab would just be a bunch of paolumus with different colors and sizes floating from like a certain spawn on the map and you have to stop them from reaching your home camp with just a bow or something idk lol

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@azuremoon2096 YES, THAT WOULD BE SO FUN!!!

[@siliciaveerah9327]

I can see it being used in Rises rampage mechanic for ease though...

The OG tower defense monster of Monster Hunter, Lao Shan Lung, would be perfect for this.

[@noahm1999able]

All i ask is that you show him the dining mosswine and the greatest jagras quests. They are the funniest event quests in that game in my opinion, so I would love to see your reactions.

[@Bison-Storytime]

Oh don't worry the event quest bonnanza is still yet to come

[@sebastianquinchia1840]

Strangely, this quest, along with finding out she cooks for you in the middle of quests, turned my opinion on the Handler from complete indifference to "you know what, you ain't so bad" Hearing her describe my hunter the way she did really brightened my mood while I was struggling to 100% the quest. I just felt so honored and flattered

[@sanddry738]

As someone who played FFXIV before this game and favorite mount is the Rathalos mount (it’s actually why I decided to get MHW) I was surprised at how horrifying the Behemoth was because *holy shit* I haven’t finished Witcher 3 yet but I’m delighted at how good MHW does its crossovers. Makes me curious how insane the ones in MHWilds will be

[@JDelwynn]

Reminds me when I played Cyberpunk 2077 at my friends place and he's a huge Portal fan. Stumbling onto the Delamain mission with one of the cars, my friend had a priceless look on his face.

[@LateSleeper]

Lunastra was a complete nightmare when she first came out: the stagger, the tic damage she caused was the grief of all hunters. When Archtempered Lunastra was announced, you could hear the groan of every hunter in the New World.

[@Darkassault42]

Ah yes, Leshen, one of the most hated fights in Monster Hunter, across the world.

[@ultrakirby9052]

Actually something funny about monster Hunter world is about the Witcher side mission. when you're playing as The Witcher guy you're talking to the NPCs of monster Hunter world and they're telling you things about your mission but also that your current character is keeping the other large monsters at bay while you figure out the mystery, so I always imagined you calmly and peacefully following tracks while your character is fighting hundreds of large monsters while doom music is playing. And it's just cutting back and forth from you peacefully gathering tracks or talking to an NPC and then switching back to your Hunter brutally fighting multiple large monsters at once.

[@NekoBatyx]

Can't wait for your friend's intro story to get clipped in a true crimes documentary monkaS

[@kyogrecrown5869]

Now you need to get the gajalakas recruited for the best version of this quest!

[@JustTryinaDuck]

Now I’m no expert but why did you run towards the massive fire aoe attack twice?

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@JustTryinaDuck I find lunastra in particular incredibly difficult to read. It feels like borderline RNG when a gust is going to come and take half my HP Basically, I'm really bad at fighting her

[@JustTryinaDuck]

@@Bison-Storytime that’s fair i suck at blue rathalos so not picking up on a tell you don’t know is understandable

[@iluvatarchem]

MH low tried to teach them how to do witcher combat. They will not listen, but worth a try

[@blackmantis1511]

So, I caught up on this series yesterday, and in one of the episodes you mentioned how you never felt powerful in Rise, and that got me thinking, part of the reason for that might be a very subtle part of the in game storytelling. In World the speech at the beginning mentions that we are the best of the best, presumably this is also true of the fleets preceding ours, and yet the strongest hunter there uses Rath gear, and while he does step up to elder dragons, he gets wrecked almost immediately every time. This makes our Hunter seem stronger by comparison, cause we beat all of these challenges. However in Rise we are the only active Hunter in Kamura, we have no one to actually compare too, and when you reach Sunbreak you have the companion quests which let you bring the NPCs to help with anything in the game, and while I like this feature it also makes so that your hunter is no longer special, instead your hunter was the hero of some hick town and was basically able to keep up as soon you met other hunters, rather than the other games where you blow past all the other NPCs in terms of what you can deal with.

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@blackmantis1511 no it really ain't that deep, I was specifically talking about how animations in rise don't feel weighty, and it's something slower combat excels at

[@jesterbooty2976]

That's probably due to the reduced lag and impact frames when hitting monsters in Rise. In world, your weapons get stuck on the monster for longer when hitting weakspots with accompanying satisfying sound. While in Rise, weapons glide through monster parts with way lesser lag frames and less meaty noises.

[@jesterbooty2976]

MHFU is another game in the series where you are the only hunter active in the village yet you do not feel less accomplished as a hunter. I think the reason why is that the senior in the village is a retired hunter that failed to kill a monster and suffered serious injuries and later on we get to slay the monster and get revenge for him.

[@SB-dw3ly]

Funny story I almost failed on that kulu ya ku quest because I didnt use my main weapon, and I'm getting desperate after 2 carts and 5 minute left, I felt like to cry when losing to that bird

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@SB-dw3ly shits tough and that quest is deceptively difficult

[@Zaciriya]

Suprised you didn't tell him about the S&S shield slam attack, it's one of its best moves

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@Zaciriya I did tell him about it, I cut almost the entire crash course out of the video for the sake of keeping it moving and interesting But also the shield slams are not good against leshen since his head is so high up

[@SilentMight]

lunastra was nightmares in the base game, more so when there is teostra in the same map and they doing combined supernova.

[@profilenotfound2525]

I killed more ancient leshens then regular leshens cuz the section of identifying the regular leshen Was too annoying and keeping the pukei alive too stressfull

[@ebering4.039]

Will you try the ancient leshen quest together in Coop? I always liked that one.

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@ebering4.039 given time when we both have high level gear after we do everything else

[@blackcrasanblade]

great that all events are always able to be played now since no new ones think old/new quest events was only there certain time frame

[@gibbygangoo]

I have to ask: Why did you tell your buddy not to learn clutch claw until Xeno if it was available? I was wondering why you guys weren't tenderizing anything.

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@gibbygangoo the base game isn't scaled for the clutch claw like iceborne does, it breaks the game in high rank and stunts development of more necessary fundamental combat skills I view it in the same vein as using defender gear. Totally chill if you're on your second playthrough or whatever, but a total crutch if you're blind

[@gibbygangoo]

@@Bison-Storytime That makes sense. It does make the game loads easier, especially with nigh on-demand Agitator. Props to you for not letting him take the easy way out.

[@apollolinaire2607]

The Witcher crossover was great on paper but I found Leshen a little lacking, I think they should've chosen another monster to add to the game, like the Fiend for example, but still a great memory!

[@shanehunt3019]

Before you guys pass into Iceborne you HAVE to try the Arch Tempered Elders

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@shanehunt3019 that's on the docket

[@amethystrose3480]

Now to see how wel he does against the ancient leshen… I still have nightmares.

[@thmistrapillay1811]

MH fr does Witcher combat better than Witcher

[@vxgpakoable]

It was probably impossible but i would have loved that for the witcher complete edition that released like a year ago if they managed to add a quest following this event, that maybe a rathalos found the portal and ended in velen or something

[@12fishcake]

If there was a bloons tower defence crossover, you'd deffo have to get paolumu involved

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@YouGoBoomYoget I think something of note is that the quest is NOTICABLY easier when using the sword and shield, as they purposely made geralts sword better than the other weapons to encourage you to use it for the quest

[@KeitaroTsurugi]

I don't get it, the whole TCS dance with the block, roll and so is a controller thing?

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@KeitaroTsurugi it's a way of measuring distance so that you only get the very last hit of the TCS combo

[@soksocks]

This is a somewhat a common thing to do when doing TCS, more so players who have used greatswords throughout MH games depending. Sure you can outright not do it, but some players tend to do this

[@karma3351]

You didn't do the Behemoth, unfortunately. But I don't think you 2 could've beaten him with high-rank gear, so I kinda understand

[@Bison-Storytime]

oh behemoth is on the docket for a future video don't worry, there's still PLENTY of videos coming out before we start master rank. and yes behemoth is dead already I have the footage for it

[@CaptainCFalcon]

The crazy thing is that Behemoth was made FOR High Rank gear. I came back to it with Master Rank gear & was still struggling. I asked my friend how the fuck they did this before Master Rank, & he just hit me with a "How the hell DID we fucking do that?"
