#Hexcells plus update

There are a bunch of new Hub quests, with the highlights obviously being the ones featuring the new monsters. I hope this is a thing they could address in a future update, because as much as I find the Apex hunts challenging, there's little reason to take them on apart from said challenge. Hell, using the drops in the same way as the Allmother materials to give existing armor sets unique upgrades would be neat. These drops are only ever really used for the Rampage weapons and a few decorations, and it seems to be a consensus among fans that it was a missed opportunity to make some unique Apex armor sets or weapons. Spending Allmother material on the armor grants the skill Stormsoul, which greatly improves the admittedly mediocre skills both armor sets already had.Īgain, there's not a lot here, but my only real criticism revolves around the Apex monster drops. Interestingly, the Ibushi and Narwa armor sets can be upgraded in a different way compared to other sets. I was pretty happy about this, because I have been using mostly 2.0 weapons as of late, like the Chameleos long sword, the Teostra dual blades, and the Kushala Daora hammer.

#Hexcells plus update

Stuff like the Diablos and Mizutsune weapons have additional upgrades now, and most significantly, the Elder Dragon weapons introduced in the last update can be upgraded as well. What we did get more of are upgrades to existing weapon trees that haven't reached their final upgrades yet. Thankfully, the Valstrax stuff looks awesome, and both the weapons and the armor set have an interesting synergy to them thanks to the new Dragonheart armor skill and the new Valstrax Soul weapon skill. You naturally get new weapons and armor (for both you and your buddies) with new monsters, but seeing as there's technically only one new monster in this update (Valstrax), there's only one new armor set and one new weapon tree for each weapon. Like everyone else, I naturally would have wanted more monsters to have been added, but I don't really have complaints with what we did get. The end portion of the fight even has a surprise that was both awesome and kinda hilarious.Ĭompared to 2.0's four new monsters (plus two Apexes), this update pales in comparison, but I was personally more than satisfied with Valstrax alone. The Allmother herself has significantly tougher attacks to deal with, and while it is quite the challenge (especially doing it solo), it was a lot of fun. This entire fight was epic, starting out with a regular showdown with Ibushi, and once you get his ass to low health, Narwa swoops in and strengthens herself in a.

The game's true final boss has arrived, and it's a beefed up form of Thunder Serpent Narwa called Narwa the Allmother.

It also looks pretty cool, as it's covered in gold-colored lightning. Like other Apexes, this thing is significantly more hard-hitting compared to the normal counterpart (even with practice, it still whoops my ass with its terrifying attacks).

We have a new Apex monster in Apex Zinogre.It's a challenging fight, the design looks awesome, and its attacks have such weight to them (including its signature attack, which is the most intense shit I've seen in the game thus far). As a newcomer to the series, this thing is easily the most badass thing I've seen in Monster Hunter so far. The biggest highlight is Crimson Glow Valstrax, an Elder Dragon that's essentially an angry jet fighter.Other than that, I didn't really have any other expectations.Īs expected, this update brings a few new monsters that you can hunt. I was itching for new monsters to fight, and 3.0 was sure to bring at least a few to the game. After thoroughly enjoying the 2.0 update's various additions, I was extremely excited for this new update.
