Watching a friend Fight the Magnamalo in the demo is like watching a crackhead battle a hurricane, you know they’ll lose, but you have faith either way.
Imagine if they add a new quest for Magnamalo in the full game with the same level as the one in the demo. 15 mins, G-rank level damage since everyone already have HR armor.
I absolutely love how Magnamalo has a ton of titles and they are all one scarier than the other. *The Malice Wyvern* *The Barbarous Beast* *The Hellfire Beast* *The Great Evil* *Devourer of the Rampage*
I once used a Rathian to damage a Mizutsune in the demo and then said Mizutsune ran away and the Rathian tried to attack me. Words can't describe how fast I rode away on my palamute.
So basically magnamalo is a zinogre, teostra, brachydios, velkhana, glavenus and nergigante combination that mastered the samurai arts and fused with a saber tooth tiger
when i first heard this, i was blindsided by how... _mournful_ it sounds in places, especially the chorus. i find myself whistling it all the time. absolutely iconic theme
This monster has everything a great flagship monster should have. Threatening design Ominous and amazing soundtrack Punishing and hard to read moveset that however rewards you when you learn it.
@@fimtendo654 I highly doubt he'll be that difficult in the full game. He got the same treatment that Valstrax and all the other advanced demo monster hunts did. Plus, in game you'll get your own armor and weapons. Can't wait to fight him with a bow once I fully learn that moveset. His hellfire is a monster.
you don't often see a flute lead like this, but they did so very well. it strikes a moody, mournful tone that makes it feel like you're taking on some ender of worlds, a creature who's brought unknowable amounts of strife. and it's not that far off. S tier song
i heard or read, dont know if this is truth or not, that since this game presents for the first time dialogues from the hunters, they tried to convey this in the ost, and the voices that we heard are those of the hunters and the flute is the monster, what we are hearing is the fight against magnamalo, maybe the rampage of 50 years ago
I absolutely adore the subtle yet “oh s*t” moment you have when you walk up to Magnamalo and hear that Shamisen intro, it’s truly a terrifying omen for the a* beating that is about to be dished out from either side
this song has a strong feeling towards this beasts intelligence, almost like its not just something with survival instincts, but something far greater that gives it the ability to control the fires of hell
I totally agree. Doesn't even sound like a monster theme, sounds more like a rival theme. There's a great dramatic tension during the entire theme. I feel like this hunt won't be a normal fight, there's something far greater around Magnamalo
@@a_tarasevich and with every game having a hidden monster, the many hints to something serpent like, and with magnamalo with high intelligence. it will be interesting to see what comes of rise
@@unamusedrowlett6303 ooh with the new monster introductions im happy to see that nargacuga and zinogir is arriving. and with the demo getting a chance to tangle with Magnamalo. wish I had a switch
@@d.sogeking8249 I’ve been around since MH1, and it’s been my favorite game series since! ❤️ But it’s always nice to meet people who recognize me. 😊 I hope you have a good day! ✨
I've always avoided the demos for these games, I want my first time fighting every monster to be me fighting these monsters, not the demo characters. Also, why bother playing the demo when you know you're going to love the next game in the franchise you've been playing since you were eight years old?
Agree, it was nothing short of a nuke with legs. It doesn't help it's so large some physical attacks have a range wide enough to stop you from fighting back. A hell of a fight, indeed.
Before: What a cute hellfire kitty After demo 2: HELLSPAWN ROCKET TIGER Edit: Finally defeated this guy wyvern riding is really convenient thanks rathian. Good luck with your hunts guys!
Seeing Magnamalo the first time: Cute demon samurai tiger. Actually fighting him: **Flash Step** **Spear Tail** *Rocket Jump** **Touch of Death** **Explosion** **15 Minute Timer** **Dive bombs** Also, I keep tradition that I don't actually kill him until full release. It doesn't feel right killing him before the story begins.
@@Konh-Minh I understand that sentiment. Sometimes I don’t want anything spoiled for me. On the other hand A fun way I look at it is like, if you beat him now, you have no excuse to not beat him later when you have gear, weapons, new moves,etc. so when you face him again it’s like, do you still have the fire within you? Like a rival coming back to fight you again because they think they can take you now. You have to defend your crown.
What's crazy is I came across Magnamalo, and had my trouble fighting him. Fainted all three times and couldn't find him after that. The moment I had an urgent quest to fight him, i was like "it's time" because i was very new to the game, so now that i have become more experienced, fighting him was so epic!
Magnamalo is a true bro, he saved me from teostra multiple times and he showed up to help me fight one of the final bosses. True bro to the end. Even if he kicked my butt lol
The claws of zinogre The tail of nargacuga The Sticky bombs of brachydios The spikes of nergigante The crown of teostra The Magnamalo is for sure a elder dragon level threat
"Magnamalo", I just looked up, comes from the Latin words "Magna"(which means Great) and "Malum"(which means Evil). Very fitting, considering its design and difficulty. Truly makes it a terrifying beast.
He is name is actually: Magna (Which means great in Latin) And Malo (Which means bad in Spanish) So his name means: Great bad, to make it more Badass we could translate it into: *The Great Evil*
If Malum means evil that also explains the name of Malos in XC2. Damn XC series is really full of these. Did you know that Monado comes from the word Monad? That means divine.
I hope Magnamalo stays in the Monster Hunter franchise. His fight is just as much fun as Zinogre and just imagine a variant/sub-specie of him! I can't wait to see what attacks he gets when g-rank comes around.
Given how he behaves and how he can hold his own against Elders like Deviljho and Rajang, I think they'll repurpose Malo as another invader monster in future games.
Yeah I feel that as well. For me it feels like somebody who had a good past and was close, but unfortunately turned evil. It feels sad yet heroic at the same time. It's awesome what type of emotions music can activate. Gives my Demon Slayer vibes tbh.
See, I think pre-Sunbreak me would’ve agreed. Magnamalo’s theme is unbelievable. Like literally, I would never have believed someone could come up with a theme like this. The chorus is stunning with the leading flute. But then Sunbreak releases and Malzeno’s theme outshines Magnamalo in the Seregios trailer alone with that gorgeous chorus of his.
i beat him first try but i also had the benefit of buying the cartridge that came with sunbreak and getting the op defender set. and even THEN, i only beat him because i had potions, mega potions, ez potions, and my palico is primarily a healer. his moveset is absolutely _punishing_ at times
One thing I noticed while fighting him recently in some quests, is that the bastard can practically propel himself forward with his hellfire! And I love that
@@march.7561 They both actually has a lot of connections(NOT similarity): Sure, they both fanged wyvern, and they combo you like hell. That's where the similarity ends. Zinogre and Fulgurbugs benefits from each other. Magnamalo gets its hellfire from devouring other monsters(One-side benefit). Zinogre resembles wolf. Magnamalo resembles tiger. Zinogre flees from an Elder. Mangamalo USED the Elder to gather more power.
@@march.7561 I’m a month late, but magnamalo also utilizes the nergigante skeleton, which is the valtrax skeleton, which is the gore magala skeleton, the way you can tell is the down animation for all of them
Normal Magnamalo: only fights Elder dragons when they cross its way. Scorned Magnamalo: actively hunts Elder Dragons. (Hunted so many EDs it can now use dragon element for some of its attacks)
Ok, but Lunastra is more a copy of teostra than this to zino. At least to this day I don't see s difference between Luna and Two except their phenotype/gender. Well, first attempt and his attacks seem kinda predictable, but somehow not.... Why do we have so small health bar, tho
Shout out to the samurai ghost tiger for: Kushala head break after we spent all that time on the tail, Toaster interference while our HH main paused to get their switch on the dock, Reminding Rathalos that even Dreadkings aught to know fear, Knocking the Khezu off the ceiling like a champ, and of course, proving that you don't have to be an elder dragon to put the fear of god in one. You misunderstood purple rage kitty. I only hunt you when the game makes me because you come in clutch when everything looks bleak. A true friend.... who sometimes carts our new hunter friends the first time but like, I can overlook that. No one's perfect.
I hammered him to death on my first try with no faints but the bastard made me burn all my heals on him. Such a hardcore badass beast, gonna try farm his set now
I remember fighting magnamalo for first time, it felt like I'm dueling instead of hunting and i almost failed on my urgent quest like 2 times. but it's worth a try!! i loved that fight so much.
Funny you call him a demonic samurai tiger, Last I checked his title was the “malice tiger wyvern”, and he’s specifically designed after traditional samurai who wear oni masks
This song is melancholic as hell but also way heroic, if you ask me this song represents a hero defending what they hold dear from a cunning and malevolent evil. Magnomalo fights because it wants to see death and destruction just as much as it fights for food, they’re like an armored explody land orca straight from the depths of hell.
My first fight with this monster became one of my favorite battles in my MH history. I knew I had to hunt it because of watching some online videos, but nothig prepared me for what a demon it was. I went straight for the new monster icon on the mini map and dismouted from my palamute, walked into its range of aggro and anime style, unsheathed my Dual Blades, and entered the Demon mode. Magnamalo wasted no time in charging towards me, so I rushed to meet it in combat and dodged right to avoid an attack from its claws. My response was a swift assault on its exposed side. Both of us became like primordial forces, locked in a fated battle. Our attacks were like the sun and moon fighting for the domain of the skies above, and like the sun I rose to claim my triumph over our first battle.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much of this guy when I unlocked his hub fight a bit early and 4v1'd him. Then I got to his story fight. Instant favourite monster.
Composer: "How do we make this song more satisfying? I know it's already good but it needs some..... Power" "The Dark Souls parry sound is the most satisfying noise I know lol, but we can't put that in there" Composer: 6:25
I fought magnamalo so many times, that its theme i remember most from rise. When it showed up in that story fight and I mounted it. This didnt feel like magnamalo's theme, instead I legit got hyped up as if it was the hunter's theme
Complete opposite I was paying too much attention to this theme because I don’t find the game hard I just like to vibe while hunting monsties and this has been my favourite just because of 1:13
A monster of malice and hate Creatures small and great fear the purple flame Leader of the rampage A monster of fear and terror It shall swallow the world whole The barbarous beast Magnamalo
I would like to point out that the game heavily implies we never ACTUALLY kill Magnamalo. Where do I get this from? Look at the quests to hunt him. It always says *Hunt Magnamalo* not, *Hunt a Magnamalo.* Even in quests with other monsters it says (for example) *Hunt a Rathalos and Magnamalo* not *Hunt a Rathalos and a Magnamalo*! To me, this means one of two things. Either Magnamalo is the best monster actor in the world and fakes his death every single time, or, as I like to head canon, Magnamalo and the Hunter have a special... connection so to speak. What do I mean by connection? Well, in my experience, a similar thing happened with Ruiner Nergigante. A sort of... respect between equals. That look in their eyes' shows an intelligence beyond the instinct of an animal. We, as the Hunter, recognize this, and feel the same. It ends up culminating in this sort rivalry between man and monster. Every "hunt" is more of a spar between rivals. To constantly improve ourselves against each other. This is why Ruiner saved us from the Bazel in the Guiding Lands. HE is the only one who gets to fight us. While we haven't seen the same thing from Magna I like to imagine this is the case. Thoughts anyone?
Yes! My head cannon is that it's the same Magnamalo every time: fifty years ago in the first rampage, our first low-rank village urgent, then in low-rank guild, and then in high-rank. No matter how many times I 'kill' or capture him, he comes back stronger the next time. His otherworldly, hellish power probably allows him to evade death. He's the ghost or demon from hell that will haunt the village forever and forever
This started with gore. There was a respectable Rivalry between the hunter and gore in 4U. They keep recycling the trope every game. But it's a good trope, so I'm okay with it.
I know magnamalo isnt a great design in terms of ecology and he is a bit over the top for me but man this was one of the best fights ive fought in a videogame. Especially with the music. The first time I fought this purple tiger will always stay in my heart.
I want to share my story here because it fits perfect last ten minutes of the hunt, afflicted magmadron. My join request didn’t work somehow and i started to struggle alone. Then, out of nowhere, I hear my favorite theme and my boy magna coming to help me, his theme filling me with the power of proof of a hero. Then, people started to finally join, all because of my man magnamalo. He gave me hope and power. We finished the hunt with like 4 minutes left, but still a close call
I love how the armor gives you the hellfire status effect, and by now you know how to use it well, so it's a buff, lmaoo 😆 and topples most monsters after two or three hellfires, and they happen really often, it's really op, with his insect glaive included. 😂
of all the monsters ive fought in both rise and sunbreak, malo is one of the few that i ALWAYS took every precaution for when fighting it for the first time in a new rank. samurai pizza cat does NOT play around
Finally I manage to defeate this dude on the demo with GS. Took me 11 minutes and 46 seconds of glorious combat. Cannont wait to the full game release in a week :)
I mean... there is that one scene where Tai Lung wields fire in his hands while fighting Shifu. Roll up to this guy in the Bishaten set like I did and you've basically got that fight on crack.
My 1st fight with this..... thing, resulted in me no carting it, I used dual blades demon flight to scale it's full torso while dealing damage and dodging conveniently. I would be lying if I didn't admit my hairs were on end the entire time. His claws and fangs growing back again sent chills
He likely will. But that depends on the location and ecology of the new game I guess. Like we didn't get nergigante in Rise as well, since they are region based

2:22 now that's genuinly scary! This theme for once makes you feel like a hopeless case.!
Scourge of Kamura: Zinogreblight Ganon
Well, it is a Wyvern of Malice
That’s actually a perfect name for him, because he does have a Zinogre skeleton and a lot of moves from Zinogre.
@@gazoofio it also has similarly colored element and the Rampage is sometimes called the Calamity
@@march.7561 They both actually has a lot of connections(NOT similarity): Sure, they both fanged wyvern, and they combo you like hell. That's where the similarity ends. Zinogre and Fulgurbugs benefits from each other. Magnamalo gets its hellfire from devouring other monsters(One-side benefit). Zinogre resembles wolf. Magnamalo resembles tiger. Zinogre flees from an Elder. Mangamalo USED the Elder to gather more power.
@@march.7561 I’m a month late, but magnamalo also utilizes the nergigante skeleton, which is the valtrax skeleton, which is the gore magala skeleton, the way you can tell is the down animation for all of them
You can say whatever you want, i like his design.
Oh man, wish that part was longer 1:15 - 1:34 . So good
Normal Magnamalo: only fights Elder dragons when they cross its way.
Scorned Magnamalo: actively hunts Elder Dragons. (Hunted so many EDs it can now use dragon element for some of its attacks)
1:30 this shit is nutty
Every part of this song is nutty
I hate how I've seen people hating on Magnamalo because it is a "copy of Zinogre".
I mean, WTF?!
Lmao, reminds me of, "OMG, Velkhana is just a copy of Kushala!"
@@S.R.B.G. Yeah exactly
@@S.R.B.G. omg blackveil is a copy of regular vaal hazak!
oh wait
@@DexFire1115 lol
Ok, but Lunastra is more a copy of teostra than this to zino. At least to this day I don't see s difference between Luna and Two except their phenotype/gender.
Well, first attempt and his attacks seem kinda predictable, but somehow not....
Why do we have so small health bar, tho
Never in all of my years of gaming ever I had so much fun fighting a boss.
Thank you magnamalo for making me feel so alive.
This slaps about as hard as his tail! Damn!
Shout out to the samurai ghost tiger for:
Kushala head break after we spent all that time on the tail,
Toaster interference while our HH main paused to get their switch on the dock,
Reminding Rathalos that even Dreadkings aught to know fear,
Knocking the Khezu off the ceiling like a champ,
and of course, proving that you don't have to be an elder dragon to put the fear of god in one.
You misunderstood purple rage kitty. I only hunt you when the game makes me because you come in clutch when everything looks bleak. A true friend.... who sometimes carts our new hunter friends the first time but like, I can overlook that. No one's perfect.
Magnamalo=Magnabro
Magnamabro
Magna My Bro lol
I hammered him to death on my first try with no faints but the bastard made me burn all my heals on him. Such a hardcore badass beast, gonna try farm his set now
Hammer FTW! First try no faints and Wroggi Armor Evade window saved my life so many times!
Have you fought him in high rank yet? He turns the fuck up
Same, no faints but get tossed around like a rag doll. His attacks are relentless.
Fought him using the long sword.
Being able to counter his moves really helped.
I love how both the Japanese themed mh games have fanged wyvern as their flagship monsters
Both being one of the strongest of the fanged wyverns.
Dude fights like a Frontier Monster, I love it
I remember fighting magnamalo for first time, it felt like I'm dueling instead of hunting and i almost failed on my urgent quest like 2 times. but it's worth a try!! i loved that fight so much.
A demonic samurai tiger with peculiar flames and a versatile weapontail. Oh yeah, not intimidating at all.
also how the hell did this get 1k likes?
Funny you call him a demonic samurai tiger, Last I checked his title was the “malice tiger wyvern”, and he’s specifically designed after traditional samurai who wear oni masks
He’s basically a congalala deviant, his fire is quite literally a fart or doodoo
@@gurburgandr wtf
@@tiagonogueira2567 I’m not joking lmao, the hellfire is a waste product, it’s basically fire poop lol
@@gurburgandr more like the souls of the dead
This song is melancholic as hell but also way heroic, if you ask me this song represents a hero defending what they hold dear from a cunning and malevolent evil. Magnomalo fights because it wants to see death and destruction just as much as it fights for food, they’re like an armored explody land orca straight from the depths of hell.
Imagine they made a Frontier version of this guy...
GG to all players.
Considering what he can do already......god help us all...
He has actually a frontier combo:
Launches you in the air and makes you explode.
@@MasterJongXG at least it ain’t cardiac arrest!
Pretty sure a Frontier 'Malo would just straight up use the Raging Demon on you
@@MasterJongXGSo he pulls a Frieza *and you're Krillin*
My first fight with this monster became one of my favorite battles in my MH history.
I knew I had to hunt it because of watching some online videos, but nothig prepared me for what a demon it was.
I went straight for the new monster icon on the mini map and dismouted from my palamute, walked into its range of aggro and anime style, unsheathed my Dual Blades, and entered the Demon mode.
Magnamalo wasted no time in charging towards me, so I rushed to meet it in combat and dodged right to avoid an attack from its claws. My response was a swift assault on its exposed side.
Both of us became like primordial forces, locked in a fated battle. Our attacks were like the sun and moon fighting for the domain of the skies above, and like the sun I rose to claim my triumph over our first battle.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much of this guy when I unlocked his hub fight a bit early and 4v1'd him.
Then I got to his story fight. Instant favourite monster.
Composer: "How do we make this song more satisfying? I know it's already good but it needs some..... Power"
"The Dark Souls parry sound is the most satisfying noise I know lol, but we can't put that in there"
Composer: 6:25
I fought magnamalo so many times, that its theme i remember most from rise. When it showed up in that story fight and I mounted it. This didnt feel like magnamalo's theme, instead I legit got hyped up as if it was the hunter's theme
Its amazing, i can't really stop playing the theme over and over again! Something about it together with this theme reminds of Shagaru Magala.
Who's here cause you were paying more attention to fighting it to hear its theme.
Me :d
Complete opposite I was paying too much attention to this theme because I don’t find the game hard I just like to vibe while hunting monsties and this has been my favourite just because of 1:13
Badass theme! I really like it!
it's funny how rathian now is just a goober to be used to fight stronger monsters
The og momma gets no love
I remember back in Freedom Unite when Rathian was somewhat threatening.
You meant jobber?
Until we learned you can flash it out of the sky, and when the tail whips were about to happen by the noise it makes.
@@GeraltofRivia22 Rathalos in freedom unite was legit really hard compared to the newer games
Probably the only flagship in the series that can always find a new way to piss me off
This was the first beast that actually made me feel like it wasn't the prey... I was.
A monster of malice and hate
Creatures small and great fear the purple flame
Leader of the rampage
A monster of fear and terror
It shall swallow the world whole
The barbarous beast
Magnamalo
I love the beginning. Its so menacing and shows how this is no ordinary monater
Great theme for a monster whose name literally translates to "Great Evil".
I would like to point out that the game heavily implies we never ACTUALLY kill Magnamalo. Where do I get this from? Look at the quests to hunt him. It always says *Hunt Magnamalo* not, *Hunt a Magnamalo.* Even in quests with other monsters it says (for example) *Hunt a Rathalos and Magnamalo* not *Hunt a Rathalos and a Magnamalo*!
To me, this means one of two things. Either Magnamalo is the best monster actor in the world and fakes his death every single time, or, as I like to head canon, Magnamalo and the Hunter have a special... connection so to speak.
What do I mean by connection? Well, in my experience, a similar thing happened with Ruiner Nergigante. A sort of... respect between equals. That look in their eyes' shows an intelligence beyond the instinct of an animal. We, as the Hunter, recognize this, and feel the same. It ends up culminating in this sort rivalry between man and monster. Every "hunt" is more of a spar between rivals. To constantly improve ourselves against each other. This is why Ruiner saved us from the Bazel in the Guiding Lands. HE is the only one who gets to fight us. While we haven't seen the same thing from Magna I like to imagine this is the case.
Thoughts anyone?
Yes! My head cannon is that it's the same Magnamalo every time: fifty years ago in the first rampage, our first low-rank village urgent, then in low-rank guild, and then in high-rank. No matter how many times I 'kill' or capture him, he comes back stronger the next time. His otherworldly, hellish power probably allows him to evade death. He's the ghost or demon from hell that will haunt the village forever and forever
So yeah.... after the 3.0 update I can say you're 100% correct on that.
@@dinodan1214 YEAAAHHHHH!
This started with gore. There was a respectable Rivalry between the hunter and gore in 4U. They keep recycling the trope every game. But it's a good trope, so I'm okay with it.
I think this is another gore Mangala situation
My favorite fun monster fight: Zinogre
My favorite monster design: Namielle
My favorite monster personality: Magnamalo
Goes into Omega Hellfire mode:
*help me*
Ah yes, my favourite monster. He surprised me with his cannonball attack yesterday after Wyvern riding, I died instantly. Fkin love this creature.
I’ve surprisingly only carted once to this monster. I was rolling around screaming for the rest of the time though.
I know magnamalo isnt a great design in terms of ecology and he is a bit over the top for me but man this was one of the best fights ive fought in a videogame. Especially with the music. The first time I fought this purple tiger will always stay in my heart.
Its design and lore is just so unapologetically edgy and cool, i love it.
Bro really appeared in the apex rathalos rampage.
Beat my ass then destroyed the first gate
Then fucking left
Wish I could fight this guy for the first time again. We salute you, Rise. 🫡
I want to share my story here because it fits perfect
last ten minutes of the hunt, afflicted magmadron. My join request didn’t work somehow and i started to struggle alone. Then, out of nowhere, I hear my favorite theme and my boy magna coming to help me, his theme filling me with the power of proof of a hero. Then, people started to finally join, all because of my man magnamalo. He gave me hope and power. We finished the hunt with like 4 minutes left, but still a close call
He's the hero we need.
@@mpo48 but not the hero we deserve
Be careful with afflicted monsters, specially with the high level ones.
man i love this monster so much
I love how the armor gives you the hellfire status effect, and by now you know how to use it well, so it's a buff, lmaoo 😆 and topples most monsters after two or three hellfires, and they happen really often, it's really op, with his insect glaive included. 😂
of all the monsters ive fought in both rise and sunbreak, malo is one of the few that i ALWAYS took every precaution for when fighting it for the first time in a new rank. samurai pizza cat does NOT play around
Finally I manage to defeate this dude on the demo with GS. Took me 11 minutes and 46 seconds of glorious combat. Cannont wait to the full game release in a week :)
Definitely one of the best monsters in terms of gameplay and design and he also has an amazing theme to go with it
Monster Hunter did a good job making the concept of lighting farts on fire menacing.
The strings in this song are amazing. It adds a lot to this tense fight.
I'm an IG Main and his armor and weapons is amazing for IG mains. I have so much fun with it. ^.^
We need turf war zinogre vs magnamalo 😤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rajang vs magnamalo also
This might be my favorite monster theme in the series now.
As a veteran fan from long ago, I like how good the games still are.
Also I dunno why but I see this Guy as some Sort of Kung-Fu panda villain lmao
That...is actually acceptable. I can imagine a Tiger character dressed in samurai armor with a spear tail while utilizing hellfire in that show.
Tai Lung's return bro
I mean... there is that one scene where Tai Lung wields fire in his hands while fighting Shifu. Roll up to this guy in the Bishaten set like I did and you've basically got that fight on crack.
I with you there I started in 3 ultimate and saw how the series grew and I will always stand by it
It took me from morning to night just to get a single plate to complete his armor set for low rank. I am prepared to face him once more on high rank
These Plates/Rubys have always been a pain but sometimes putting it on a wishlist helps, or at least I feel like it does. Lmaoo
My friend and i played 9 hours straight just to get one plate. Well he got 5 and i got 1 after 9 hours
dont have a switch but i can already tell this dude is not someone to mess with...the music says it all.
Magnamalo combined Fire and Blast blight into Hellfire Blight.
The Palamute Gear looks awesome.
My 1st fight with this..... thing, resulted in me no carting it, I used dual blades demon flight to scale it's full torso while dealing damage and dodging conveniently. I would be lying if I didn't admit my hairs were on end the entire time. His claws and fangs growing back again sent chills
I do hope Magnamalo returns in future MH games.
Hes a Flagship he will return, unless hes Lagiacrus.
@@lubbo5261We will likely see him in a next stories game and in the 20th anniversary game.
He likely will. But that depends on the location and ecology of the new game I guess.
Like we didn't get nergigante in Rise as well, since they are region based
I first encountered this guy in the hub quests as a solo player, and could only beat him while tanking with gunlance.
This is the best monster imo
1:14 slaps on a different level
just a damn good fight, dude has built in weapons and knows how to use them
Ah yes, Oni Zinogre
PAIN
WAIT CAUSE ACTUALLY RIGHT
hehe zinonigre
1:10 this moment gave me chills
