Nargacuga is back in MHX but why did we all lose it when if was announced you ask? Let's find out! Read all the comments I got here: gaijinhunter.tu... Happy hunting!
I really like the switch axe in MH4U. it's a relic weapon witch you can only get from guild quest. I really love the para hacks and the ice. it looks awsome to!
***** I remember when i was playing MhFU i remembered i 1st killed narga (with dijin i think)... Omg it felt so good. But i couldnt kill it after that haha
It was the first monster I tried in the special quests in mhfu with my brother, it was a super challenge as we were skeptical about fighting it at all, my bro dropped out half way and i stayed, losing of course since I was low level. It was still the hardest to fight while I played.
Rodrigo Domingos i doubt its a new monster. Only one monster has that signature eye trace, roar, and tail whip attack. And thats Narcaguga, is a bitch to farm in freedom unite ( I started with freedom unite on the psp).
Nargacuga is a good example of PERFECT monster design, it's a black flying bat-like panther dragon that moves like a ninja !! I'm hyped to hunt it again in MHX. Good video Gaijin Hunter btw
***** Unfortunately we wont be getting Lagiacrus back until they find a way to make water work better. I wish they would bring Ivory back in MHX, but I doubt they'd bring in a subspecies without the base monster. At least Agnaktor is back, so one of the Leviathans is returning. (Hopefully some Brute wyverns come back as well 'cause 4U only had 2 of them)
***** I think he could come back and still be very enjoyable. We had zamtrios in 4u and it was obvious that he could be a water monster. Besides, we all saw that ivory lagi was still a huge threat even without water. And I think that since Agnaktor is back and the leviathan monster type is back, it would be dumb to only have one leviathan. I know bubbles will also probably be a leviathan and nibblesnarf is as well, but its not like they'll cut monsters out of the games entirely just because they're not enjoyable at first.
the hype is because its an all around great fight. Every time you get hit it feels like you made the mistake instead of some wonky hitbox manipulation. Its one of the least BS hunts Ive personally found. Also the weapons and armor are pretty decent, especially weapons that utilize decent affinity well.
My Prowler (Nyanta) in Generations is black, with the sopty fur pattern to look like scales on the limbs, pointed ears, bright red eyes, and the bushy tail. His name is Nyargacuga.
I can't say I like narga because of nostalgia (mostly because I was unfortunate enough to have played the original Monster Hunter as my first), but at the time narga was unique in that he didn't just insta charge or beam spam (plus his hitboxes weren't as terrible as the rest) and was Capcom's first step in the right direction in terms of monster design. Narga isn't my favorite monster but we owe him for the changes he influenced.
When you said, about MHFU: "this was the title where many monster hunter veterans in the west where born" I realized I have been playing for 10 years and just now on my fourth entry of the game (mhxx) learned to use the dual blades properly. Kinda interesting how a series stays with you in such a way you're still giving yourself the freedom of learning stuff that was always there but was left "unlearned". I'd say the most traumatized I've been by a monster in Monster Hunter was when I first fought Tigrex, and it was a double Tigrex quest on top of that, in MHFU. I tried countless times, to no avail. From timeouts to tripple carts, what saved me on that quest, I remember well, was farming a previous double Nargacuga quest on the Great Forest, to get it's armor. And that was also one of my first Nargacuga hunts. It's interesting how even after not playing for a year or two, Nargacuga's moves were burned in the mind, enough you feel like you know the monster almost as if you were him, and you still know exactly what he's gonna do next. Such a big turning point, and just, as mundane as it was, in a way, you know, grab the PSP, hunt a couple of Nargacugas and Tigrexes, left some fond memories. And it's kinda fun because if you look at it from the outside it's just a kid sitting in a chair playing in his PSP, what's so special about what he's doing? Looking back, seeing the countless hours of entertainment I got from playing Monster Hunter games, I realize MHFU was one of, it not the most well spent money ever!
I born on freedom, and I fell in love with MH series, I still remember how Kutku was a pain in the ass the first time, and how I get so fucking hyped when I faced rathalos for first time omg, my favorite monster, after I discovered MHFU my life was changed because gun lance and that guy, yeah that guy on the intro was my next objective that shining eyes were so spectacular for me especially seeing it in game the effect on PSP was truly beautiful at that time :') I can't believe how this franchise grow up, "Eternal Hunter" ^-^
me too! my first mh was 3U but i kinda droped it because i couldn't bear underwater fights, even with the circle pad pro. except for lagi which was just a beauty to behold underwater.
I remember playing mhfu and whenever my cat threw a bomb at narga I was always like: "Nooooo don't make him angrier!" Because it had the effect of sonic bombs which auto enraged him i remember
Feegan da man Yeah that was when I was still new to the game. I eventually switched cats because it was so annoying. Specially when they try to throw it at the monster but hit you instead.
I think narga was the only monster I wouldn't mind fighting a thousand time to get mantles/heavenly scales (am I the only one that thinks that heavenly scale is better than mantle? It sounds cooler at least .-.) He was fun, fast, adorable and his weapons had incredible designs. Also, you forgot to mention that in MHFU/MH2G, he was the urgent for G2 (?), so you new that this guy was gonna kick ass ;) Also... Lucent was epic, but his spikes were so damn annoying... you could be in the opposite corner and the spikes would still reach you and poison you on top of that. He was also the one that made me start using the kelbi bow because I was unable to break his face/wings ;.;
The mhfu straight up will make you good at the game. The moment you defeat ukanlos solo and finished the monster hunter quest with rathalos, tigrex, nargacuga, rajang as the ultimate goal back then you can flex in your noob friends who is stuck in green plesioth lmao. Good ol days
Nargacuga really stands out from the other monsters on MHFU. You can really see how the devs had improved the detailing and animation, as well as the hit boxes from the previous version of the game. Side stepping his tail swipe without evasion also feels so nice, even though its pretty easy to do.
i didn't play freedom unite, but in 4U, i used narga's armor set and it got me through most of g rank, to the point i "bonded" with it. it also looked very cool. and it would be nice if there were more of those videos about other monsters, just like there was the one about the guild emblem.
ArceusDX exactly. i mean, some monsters are references to various creatures from our world's mythologies or a fusion of real world animals. a series of videos that focused on clarifying such stuff would be nice.
and i agree with gaijin that there's something special about the flagship monster of the first mh you play and how you sorta "bond" with it. mine was 3U and lagi fights were fun ones, despite underwater sections and not having played past low rank.
jp mesquita Do you still have 3U? If you've played 4U now, you can play through 3U ;) Narga is in there too, so you can experience one of everyone's favourite monster! :D I didn't play 2G till after 3, but narga is still in my top 2. :)
Nargaruga is the most challenging wyvern in mhfu,out of the rage he's not too much of an issue,but if your fucking cat dropped a bomb it was like well,now im going to duplicate my speed strength and awesomeness,and fuck you up at record speed
People see Tigrex: 👏👏👏👏 People see Narga: 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 People see Barrioth: -_- I like Barrioth design and weapon but it fight like an ass ITS THE AERIAL PLESIOTH!!!!(When i fight Barrioth it spamm Hipcheck a lot)
interestingly, narga was NOT in my starting game, i started on tri, and my favorite monster from tri was Quropeco (don't judge, after getting sent to fight great jaggi like 10x, i was extatic to fight ANYTHING ELSE) i managed to get my hands on a ported over version of 3portable, and narga was there... and green narga... and i fell in love with the bad ass dragon - cat - bat -thing... wheras mobs like rathalos are all RAAAR FEAR MY SCARIENESS!!! narga is just like 'please... i don't need to be big... I JUST EAT YOUR FACE!!!" it was also my first experience with dual blades, and the combination of green narga giving something like evasion + and stamina drain down + attack (gems op) combined with dualies was just amazing... i fought that thing so many times... never got to fight lucent though... for me, narga was a great tonal shift of the giant "fear me" big mobs i was used to, sure he was scary, but it was in a batman way compared to something like tigrex who literally just screams at you a lot, similar idea with shageru magala, but that's more on the 'mystery' side, of 'wtf is going on with this guy'
Sorry to disagree with you but I hate qurupeco ,one of my hated monster, (PS: my most hated is gigginox and its giggis) for 3 things: 1) it acts like a spoiled brat especially when it gets angry 2) I hated its attacks especially the one where it lights fire with its wings 3) when it calls a much bigger threat monster than itself like jho
I can relate to allthatmh because monster hunter is not just a game to me its a friend in a world where no one likes you so theres my reason why I love monster hunter. thanks capcom.
I'm just incredibly happy you chose my comment to share with the rest of the world, Narga remains one of my favorite monsters and is the main reason I turn MH3U back on from time to time
Narga and his armor was simply my favorite by design. It looked like a rad mix between a cat, a bat, and a dragon, and like you mentioned, it taught me a lot of the evasion skills I know now, and completely turned the hunting style I had before completely on its head. I only just got a Wii U a couple weeks ago and never owned a Wii, so I never had MH3U online capabilities and I never made it to Lucent Narga. I hope they bring it in MHX so i can finally experience it myself instead of vicariously on UA-cam
3u was my first game, and when I first started playing, I looked up trees for all the weapons, looked at all the late game armor, when I stumbled across the Eclipse Tone. It almost spoke to me, like I knew that was my dream weapon, and I wanted it with gigginox armor set because it seemed optimal for what I wanted. I told my friend who introduced me into the game and he said "Oh, that's a Lucent weapon." I asked, "What's a Lucent?" And all he would say is that I'll have to wait and see. like a hundred hours later I finally got to fight it, and I immediately fell in love with it. Such a fun and tricky fight. The eclipse tone was within reach, but I had the worst luck. I had to fight it over 50 times to finally get the part I needed, and I never got tired of the fight. My Palico in 4u is named Lucent and I spent like 30 minutes trying to get it to look as close to the real thing as possible XD I was so sad I couldn't fight my old friend in 4u, or even trade into parts for its weapon.
narga inspired me to become a ninja( along with ethoslab) XD its armor and weapons are some of the best in the game(s)! hence narga is one of my favorites!
I too found it so difficult, to the point of stress and frustration when this monster was released. But it felt great when I finally overcame it. I'm kinda disappointed though on how I feel like they really nerfed Naruga Kuruga when it came out on the succeeding renditions of the series. I've been playing since MH2 and I know how the most of the monsters feel when we had no mounting, hunting styles and arts. So I can attest to myself at least that the Naruga feels weaker in the current editions of the franchise. I've only played up to MHXX at this point though. I am looking forward to the release of the Iceborne though, can't wait till later today..
I love Nargacuga because in MH3U it was the monster I hunted so much to get its awesome armour and weapons. It really is a great fight too which really sets this monster as rememberable.
My friend had a copy of this game and I never even heard of this franchise, so he made me make a file and play it, and I would play that file every time I came over, then I ran into Nargacuga, and he has been my favorite monster to this day.
They lost their collective shit? What I imagine: they brought a bucket, everybody shit in, they put the bucket down, the presentation began and the bucket was gone
Imho, my favorite poster boy of the series is the zinogre, I don't know what it is, but there is alwasy something charming about figthing this monster that has this charged up mode with really quick moves and electricity coming out everywhere. Theres also the fact that you can catch bugs on his back and that's cool
Seeing Nargacuga on the front of Freedom Unite is what made me get the game in the first place. I love sleek monsters, so Nargacuga was a nice change compared to Rathalos and Yian Garuga, who are badass monsters in their own right, but just had times where they were merely aggravating due to their poison and constant windpress. My next game was 4U, which I've almost 100% the achievements in, and Nargacuga armour ended up being my go-to armour for my playstyle with Switch Axes. Heck, I still use it to fight lv 140 guild quests, and I'm sad the hidden axe ended up being a relic weapon. My girlfriend got me 3U for my birthday and I'm just about to reach Nargacuga again. This monster just made everything I loved about playing monster hunter, from the roar to the evasion learning curve it presented. I'm so glad to see Narga back in MHX, I can't wait for it to hit the west.
When I was playing mhfu I was a long sword main (I know like the rest of the world) and I was a huge fan of purple sharpness, affinity and long swords that changed shape when the bar was full. The narga weapons were those three things all rolled in one. Side Note: If I remember correctly the long swords that changed were Narga: Extra spikes (so cool) Chameleos: The sword would go invisible (so cool!) Daora and Shogun Ceantaur: The sword would open
+Roberto :D me too. it's ugly as hell and it can be very annoying at times, although an insect glaive can make things easier. my favorite in 4U is definetly gore/shagaru.
back in 3U, lagi is definetly my favorite, but duramboros is a close second just because of how "derpy" it seems the idea of a giant stone beyblade that throws itself at you. i hope he comes back, truly.
"This is another sentiment of why we love Monster Hunter. It really is a nice escape from reality. It does give us another universe to be a different version of ourselves, and to overcome just wild, wild challanges, and feel acomplished. The best thing of all is that the community is cooperative, not competitive." - Gaijin Hunter, August 15, 2015
I started on Monster hunter Unite before Freedom came out and because of this Narga(Diablos being my second favorite) became my all time favorite. I actually hunted over a thousand nargas because the fight never got old. I was always feeling powerful fighting it and he just felt like one of the greatest challenges you could get.I always wore the full narga set and that's what got me into the evade lancer style and loved it ever since. I onestly hope to god we get to have a Narga as a monster buddy in that Monster story spin off game. It would really bring a lot of old memories and just make me downright happy..
hey, I wish I had seen your question as to why Narga was so special. To me he was so special because I loved fighting Narga for the first time in monster hunter 3 ultimate. At the time I had a habit of trapping monsters in pitfall traps and using bombs to weaken them. But since he was immune to pitfalls when he wasn't enraged. I was always so confused and it was fun to step out of my comfort zone and loved fighting him and getting used to his fast movements and it was incredibly satisfying to ko him and wail on his big black but until he died. I love Narga and am so glad he is returning on MHX.
this might be very unpopular, but i didnt like him in mhfu. i felt like it was a reskin of tigrex, and i really hated tigrex (because he always combo killed me with his charge, which i still think is really bad design, nowadays you can stay on the ground, which makes it a lot better)
This is interesting, I have the virtually the same feelings even though my first MonHun was Tri on the Wii. I'm the one that introduced the series to my brother and friends. As we all got more into in my little brother ended up with a copy of Freedom Unite when he got a PSP, and we both were interested in not only the Tigrex you run into at the start, but the Nargacuga on the cover, I was super excited when they announced Narga was going to be in 3U further cementing my decision to buy a Wii U day one I could never get a handle on the PSP controls and never got far into Freedom Unite, so having Narga in the generation I started on was awesome, I was a tad disappointed I never got to actually fight Tigrex til 4U, but he was worth the wait as well. I really hope Barioth gets put into X, I was super sad when I didn't get to fight my favorite Ice-kitty.
+Magmafrost13 Yay another Brachy hater! :D Thank you, thank you.. I thought I was alone.. I still hate it. First monster that ever made me loose a quest and till this day gives me a rough time.
I started with 4u and the Tetsucabra was the first monster I farmed and made armor out of, I was really new to the game and learning it's attack patterns and improving each fight really felt accomplishing. The toads armor is also very cool looking and made the cutscenes and story much more satisfying.
No, please, don't bring Lucy back. Had to solo 3U and it was not a fun fight, at all. He's irritating above all else, but damn if his weapons weren't good. I really, really don't want him, I'd rather a Goldbeard/Regular Ceadeus double fight. Also, can I finally get to play a game with Narga and Tigrex in them at the same time? Please? I missed out on FU, and it would be _awesome_ to have both.
***** You know what we need instead? Molten Tigrex and Lucent Nargacuga double quest. On 4U's Tower, not the large 3U one. Also, instead of poison, Lucent now gives Bleed.
I miss fighting silverwind nargacuga, the monster and weapon design also super great, nice videos man, hope you can deliver more videos like this, and also more lore about monster deviant and subspecies !! Really enjoyed your videos
Smith Word. Barioth definitely one of my favorites, but I only found him fun in Tri. It greatly disappointed me how radically they changed him for the worse after his first appearance.
I started on 3u and therefore never got to understand the hype, but now i do! I like how you distinguished tigrex and narga by their movements, wish you or maybe someone else could disect and analyze similar monsters like that and make them more special :)
I first fought the Narga in 3U. By far my favorite fight. I remember my second or third time I found the "magic box" area in it's spin around attack. Dodge to the left as it's spinning and it will twirl around you without doing damage even though your I-frames are over.
That's very true about the flagship monster of the entry you started in being special. My start with MH was with Tri and I always smile when I see Lagiacrus
I started playing in Freedom 2, so Tigrex is kind of my Narga. But I still have a soft spot for Narga. Its like a cat and a dragon with a giant mace for a tail, who also shoots needles at you and has arms made out of blades and pain.
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite was my first MH game. I completely fell in love with Nargacuga back then, and he remains to this day my favourite monster. I am so excited about having him in MHGU also, as playing on the Switch is a completely new and wonderful experience for me. Great content as always!
Brilliant new series sir!! You should consider doing these types of videos for a few other monsters!! Namely Jinouga and Rathalos who happen to be other flagships as well (but i'm sure you already knew that :D) Love your content by the way. Cheers and may the Hunt be ever in your favour \m/
Dunno why i just found this, nearly 6 years later. I also started with MH Freedom Unit, and Narga is still my favorit Monster. Green, Lucent or Silverwind, it does not matter. This monster was my first Flagship, and it is still one of the most fun fight for me to this day.
Coming from the future where I was a MH World noob, facing Nargacuga in Generations/X was probably my hook in loving the MH games of the past, since, while I was fighting lethargic, slow monsters and not really digging the more restrictive moveset, Nargacuga basically said to me "Dodge or die." and that's what I ended up doing, even after playing near over a hundred hours in world, this cool looking, badass monster was still kicking my arse and teaching me to get better. I gotta respect it for that. Basically, it's just a really well made fight that I enjoyed a lot.
I knew about Nargacuga loooong before I played Monster Hunter for the first time (MH4U). I always liked how it looked. It reminded me of a panther. Sleek, black fur, piercing eyes, swift movements. I really hope MHX makes it across so I can tango with it and face it with my favourite weapon (CB). And speaking of Charge Blades, I hope there's a Narga CB.
Despite my first game being MHF2, Narga is my favorite fight. It was always such a back and forth with Narga and my Dual Swords. The first time I beat it in G rank in FU was down the last minute and I finally got it low enough to cap as well as it being my final cart. Just seeing that swipe at me while jumping into that trap always left an impression in me. Now, I've gotten to the point where I barely even use a mega potion on it and I'm dodging like a champ.
My First MH game was TRI, so my favorite monster (of course) ended up being Lagiacrus. My favorite Weapon is Switch Axe, but I remember using it with pretty much with every set I had. It wasn't until 3U, when I met Nargacuga and used it's armor that I felt like a proper Switch Axe user. I was lucky to get an Evasion table and one of my very first charms was Evade Dist+5 Edgmaster+3 and with that charm I was able to make a mixed set of both of my now favorite monsters, and a set dedicated to my favorite Weapon. Lagiacrus will always be my favorite monster because it was the rival to beat in TRI but Narga is my second favorite because it gave me a proper set for my favorite weapon.
I had barely heard of Narga before MHGen but it’s one of my favorite monsters now, right up there with my first flagship Gore Magala. It’s a fantastic, fast paced fight and the music that plays is great. Plus I was maining Switch Axe at the time, and Narga’s armor is perfect for non-adept SA.
Touching on the point that Gaijin made that MH is another universe that we can escape into. For example, I have chronic pain issues and when I started playing 3U I had depression problems and I wasn't able to get to school most days. I always thought of myself in the game as a jolly hammer-man xD, and one could say, my other self. And that impacted on my life a lot, I started getting to school more, I started getting out more and I became much happier. And even in real life I started acting like my in-game self. MH was a life-saver for me :).
As a Hunter from Freedom and Freedom 2 that unfortunately dropped the series at United and picked it back up at 4U(3U technically, but had no time to get far and it was a few months before 4U) I am really looking forward to fight Narucaguga for the first time. Even from looking at it during my brushing up of all I'd missed in MH since United Narca was just one of those monsters I told myself "Wow, I wish I could fight him" hmm maybe if I find my copy of United I can try burning through it and fighting him.
I've seen this video twice before, but I felt the need to come back to it since I just faced this magnificent beast for the first time. Such a fun fight, I use dual blades normally, so anytime I'm fighting a very agile monster with them it always feels great.
My first MH was 3U and I was just going along until the fight with Nargacuga happened. I thought it looked so badass cause it was like a catbat monster that was really fast and the fight was really fun. Afterwards I saw the armor and weapons and at that moment it became my favorite monster. I was so sad it wasn't in 4U but hopefully we will get MHX in the west and I can go toe to toe with my favorite once more.
I started in 4 Ultimate, so Gore Magala/Shagaru Magala is my flagship monster. But Nargacuga is definitely one of my favorites too. Finally got to hunt him for the first time in Gen Ultimate today, and I see why everyone is so hyped about him. I can't wait to get the Silverwind gear.
I have to agree with getting better at dodging with Evasion+. I struggled with Lucent in MH3U and after some time with learning the frames and what not, I got a lot better at fighting him.
Nargacuga is one of my favorites because of how unique it is. The spiked tail, the sleek catlike design, the glowing eyes, the epic gear, and the challenge of the fight itself all make me excited to face it in MHX
You're right, the flagship monster for the game that was your "intro" to the series stands out. Gore Magala stands out to me - MH4U was my first MH game, and I put over 400 hours into it.
"There's something incredibly special about the flagship monster from the game that got you into the series." I totally agree. I'm an OG hunter from the latter years of MH1. I recall getting the game before Freedom 1 but not really getting into it until I got online following its release. So, for me, Rathalos is incredibly important. I'm glad Narga is back too, its definitely one of my favorites to fight.
I started playing monster hunter at mh 3u and narga is still one of my favorite monsters. the glowing red eyes really sell it for me and i love the lucient naraga plus all the armor/weps looks amazing!
Love Narga! The Deep Darkhammer was my favourite weapon in Freedom Unite.
I really like the switch axe in MH4U. it's a relic weapon witch you can only get from guild quest. I really love the para hacks and the ice. it looks awsome to!
Ahmed Q all hali narga switchaxe the best switchaxe since switchaxes
***** I remember when i was playing MhFU i remembered i 1st killed narga (with dijin i think)... Omg it felt so good. But i couldnt kill it after that haha
***** >Not the Imperial Gun Hammer Spark
Come on Arekkz, don't let me down man
It was the first monster I tried in the special quests in mhfu with my brother, it was a super challenge as we were skeptical about fighting it at all, my bro dropped out half way and i stayed, losing of course since I was low level. It was still the hardest to fight while I played.
I have fallen in love with Nargy's roar. I love the trill of it.
If you like his roar then listen to my fart
PFFFFFFFFFF-!!!
I spat out my drink.
Your fart sounds like a monster dragon cat howling out a hurricane??
WHAT THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN EATING!?
MMRRRREOOOOOOOWW!! 🐱
Same it's the coolest monster for there is!
who's here from MHW: Iceborn expansion? Narga's back baby!
they know how to hook us in
It's not really confirmed, it could be a brand new monster but i sure as HELL hope it's him!
Let us hope they include some actually good monsters for Iceborne as well.
Me of course.. im feel so hype
Rodrigo Domingos i doubt its a new monster. Only one monster has that signature eye trace, roar, and tail whip attack. And thats Narcaguga, is a bitch to farm in freedom unite ( I started with freedom unite on the psp).
Nargacuga is a good example of PERFECT monster design, it's a black flying bat-like panther dragon that moves like a ninja !! I'm hyped to hunt it again in MHX. Good video Gaijin Hunter btw
What Nargacuga is for a lot of people is Lagiacrus for me!
***** Unfortunately we wont be getting Lagiacrus back until they find a way to make water work better.
I wish they would bring Ivory back in MHX, but I doubt they'd bring in a subspecies without the base monster.
At least Agnaktor is back, so one of the Leviathans is returning. (Hopefully some Brute wyverns come back as well 'cause 4U only had 2 of them)
***** I actually enjoyed the swimming in Tri a lot...
although I understand that it might be unoptimized.
+Darren Tonkin god help me if lagi came back and fought like najarala. i like lagi enough to not have him in mhx if that was the case.
***** I think he could come back and still be very enjoyable. We had zamtrios in 4u and it was obvious that he could be a water monster. Besides, we all saw that ivory lagi was still a huge threat even without water. And I think that since Agnaktor is back and the leviathan monster type is back, it would be dumb to only have one leviathan. I know bubbles will also probably be a leviathan and nibblesnarf is as well, but its not like they'll cut monsters out of the games entirely just because they're not enjoyable at first.
+Scorptice Music lagi and ceadeus and narga have a special place in the heart of chuck norris
Back in monster hunter world now BOIS
it might not the biggest and the strongest but narga and tigy was the only two that got me goose bumps the first time i fight them on the MH series.
@@VioletEyesLuna the catchy scream
Board the Hype Train bois.
This is my first MH game. So according to this video, people hyped about this monster because of its tail attack. Is that correct?
the hype is because its an all around great fight. Every time you get hit it feels like you made the mistake instead of some wonky hitbox manipulation. Its one of the least BS hunts Ive personally found. Also the weapons and armor are pretty decent, especially weapons that utilize decent affinity well.
Why did nobody mention Narga's absolutely amazing battle theme?
It speaks for itself
*Raises drink* Kampaii to all those Veteran Hunters who were born in MHFU !!
🍻
🍻
Actually played 2nd G but still 🍻
The older the better
loved mhfu 🍻
My Prowler (Nyanta) in Generations is black, with the sopty fur pattern to look like scales on the limbs, pointed ears, bright red eyes, and the bushy tail. His name is Nyargacuga.
+Josh Fox lol awesome
Great name!
gaijin hunter no offense but nargacoga is my least favorite in opinion my number 1 favorite is Rathalos
gaijin hunter also my prowler/Nyanta has red fur a scarred eye blue eye bushy tail replacing the red spike on its tail and it's name is Rathalos
Cat puns and Nargacugas. Mix very well.
So many new comments about nargacuga being in MHW next year.
I can't say I like narga because of nostalgia (mostly because I was unfortunate enough to have played the original Monster Hunter as my first), but at the time narga was unique in that he didn't just insta charge or beam spam (plus his hitboxes weren't as terrible as the rest) and was Capcom's first step in the right direction in terms of monster design. Narga isn't my favorite monster but we owe him for the changes he influenced.
Gavin Erickson His tail swing is bs
Dodge..
When you said, about MHFU: "this was the title where many monster hunter veterans in the west where born" I realized I have been playing for 10 years and just now on my fourth entry of the game (mhxx) learned to use the dual blades properly. Kinda interesting how a series stays with you in such a way you're still giving yourself the freedom of learning stuff that was always there but was left "unlearned".
I'd say the most traumatized I've been by a monster in Monster Hunter was when I first fought Tigrex, and it was a double Tigrex quest on top of that, in MHFU. I tried countless times, to no avail. From timeouts to tripple carts, what saved me on that quest, I remember well, was farming a previous double Nargacuga quest on the Great Forest, to get it's armor. And that was also one of my first Nargacuga hunts. It's interesting how even after not playing for a year or two, Nargacuga's moves were burned in the mind, enough you feel like you know the monster almost as if you were him, and you still know exactly what he's gonna do next. Such a big turning point, and just, as mundane as it was, in a way, you know, grab the PSP, hunt a couple of Nargacugas and Tigrexes, left some fond memories. And it's kinda fun because if you look at it from the outside it's just a kid sitting in a chair playing in his PSP, what's so special about what he's doing?
Looking back, seeing the countless hours of entertainment I got from playing Monster Hunter games, I realize MHFU was one of, it not the most well spent money ever!
personally i love the red glow in his eyes especially when he's hiding and all you see is red glow between the trees
I born on freedom, and I fell in love with MH series, I still remember how Kutku was a pain in the ass the first time, and how I get so fucking hyped when I faced rathalos for first time omg, my favorite monster, after I discovered MHFU my life was changed because gun lance and that guy, yeah that guy on the intro was my next objective that shining eyes were so spectacular for me especially seeing it in game the effect on PSP was truly beautiful at that time :') I can't believe how this franchise grow up, "Eternal Hunter" ^-^
Born on fu, killing a nargacuga was my right of passage
Yeah, MHFU was my first monster hunter. I was trash at it and stopped playing after I beat the goddamn khezu, fuck that thing.
The albino 🅱enis is also my nightmare in mhfu!
Well i think khezu wasn't a problem but i stopped playing MHFU cuz i can't beat that Shen Gaoren :(
*referring to the thumbnail* And now you're back in world!
My first MH game was 3G and I kinda miss Lagi :(
me too! my first mh was 3U but i kinda droped it because i couldn't bear underwater fights, even with the circle pad pro. except for lagi which was just a beauty to behold underwater.
Héliodore Specht I want Ivory Lagiacrus back, hes so cool and can fight without water
trumpf trottel yeah I want to see him fly in the arena like a BOSS
Roberto :D maybe a new "earth Lagi" or something and he has new moves? I'm still hoping
Héliodore Specht Umm... Akantor...
I remember playing mhfu and whenever my cat threw a bomb at narga I was always like: "Nooooo don't make him angrier!" Because it had the effect of sonic bombs which auto enraged him i remember
***** (⌐■_■)
And that's why I used melee only cats.
Feegan da man Yeah that was when I was still new to the game. I eventually switched cats because it was so annoying. Specially when they try to throw it at the monster but hit you instead.
This is why I only used gathering-only cat.
Time for this video to become relevant again.
I think narga was the only monster I wouldn't mind fighting a thousand time to get mantles/heavenly scales (am I the only one that thinks that heavenly scale is better than mantle? It sounds cooler at least .-.) He was fun, fast, adorable and his weapons had incredible designs. Also, you forgot to mention that in MHFU/MH2G, he was the urgent for G2 (?), so you new that this guy was gonna kick ass ;)
Also... Lucent was epic, but his spikes were so damn annoying... you could be in the opposite corner and the spikes would still reach you and poison you on top of that. He was also the one that made me start using the kelbi bow because I was unable to break his face/wings ;.;
The mhfu straight up will make you good at the game. The moment you defeat ukanlos solo and finished the monster hunter quest with rathalos, tigrex, nargacuga, rajang as the ultimate goal back then you can flex in your noob friends who is stuck in green plesioth lmao. Good ol days
Nargacuga really stands out from the other monsters on MHFU. You can really see how the devs had improved the detailing and animation, as well as the hit boxes from the previous version of the game.
Side stepping his tail swipe without evasion also feels so nice, even though its pretty easy to do.
And now my baby boi/gurl will be in world
I cri evryteim
Monster Hunter World: Icebourne brought me here
jason bourne
Same here.
I'm here because of the Iceborne announcement
Personally, I've never cared for Nargacuga, but I do see why people like this kitty.
Weirdo
Narga is so special because that damn intro cinematic is goddamn hypetrain
i didn't play freedom unite, but in 4U, i used narga's armor set and it got me through most of g rank, to the point i "bonded" with it. it also looked very cool.
and it would be nice if there were more of those videos about other monsters, just like there was the one about the guild emblem.
There is one on the guild crest, actually.
Nicholas Cuevas He meant he wishes there were more videos like the guild crest one, just about the monsters instead.
ArceusDX exactly. i mean, some monsters are references to various creatures from our world's mythologies or a fusion of real world animals. a series of videos that focused on clarifying such stuff would be nice.
and i agree with gaijin that there's something special about the flagship monster of the first mh you play and how you sorta "bond" with it. mine was 3U and lagi fights were fun ones, despite underwater sections and not having played past low rank.
jp mesquita Do you still have 3U? If you've played 4U now, you can play through 3U ;) Narga is in there too, so you can experience one of everyone's favourite monster! :D I didn't play 2G till after 3, but narga is still in my top 2. :)
I want a pet nargacuga
CaptainBronyGaming™ same
CaptainBronyGaming™ but I want a pet deviljho
very sharp.... :/
I want a pet miralis. Free sauna.
Noasphere actually I want a pet savage deviljho AND a apex deviljho
You could rule the world with a pet Plesioth, God of the Hipcheck.
Nargaruga is the most challenging wyvern in mhfu,out of the rage he's not too much of an issue,but if your fucking cat dropped a bomb it was like well,now im going to duplicate my speed strength and awesomeness,and fuck you up at record speed
I'm going back to all your older videos and it's fun reading up on the MH history, hopefully we'd be able to see more of them in MHW!
meanwhile the barioth fans be like *crickets chirping*
Umneriko
Yeah me and my friend loved hunting the barioth.
Barioth was an asshole but still loved the fight
I'm still hoping we will see it again, Barioth is among my personal favorites
People see Tigrex: 👏👏👏👏
People see Narga: 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
People see Barrioth: -_-
I like Barrioth design and weapon but it fight like an ass
ITS THE AERIAL PLESIOTH!!!!(When i fight Barrioth it spamm Hipcheck a lot)
Reno Kyrielium Sand Barioth is much more annoying
Nargacuga is special because he’s mah boi.
I want this thing in World! Would look amazing with the new engine
We're getting him boi!
@@pavith3817 yeah dude just saw the trailer HYPED
Wish fulfilled!
Boy do I have news for you
I came from the future and...
4:20
I got the impression that Nargacuga seems like a pretty cool dad.
That new MHW announcement though, am I right?
Nargacuga : *teleports behind you*
Hunter : NANI
Nargacuga : Nothing personal kid.
interestingly, narga was NOT in my starting game, i started on tri, and my favorite monster from tri was Quropeco (don't judge, after getting sent to fight great jaggi like 10x, i was extatic to fight ANYTHING ELSE) i managed to get my hands on a ported over version of 3portable, and narga was there... and green narga... and i fell in love with the bad ass dragon - cat - bat -thing... wheras mobs like rathalos are all RAAAR FEAR MY SCARIENESS!!! narga is just like 'please... i don't need to be big... I JUST EAT YOUR FACE!!!" it was also my first experience with dual blades, and the combination of green narga giving something like evasion + and stamina drain down + attack (gems op) combined with dualies was just amazing... i fought that thing so many times... never got to fight lucent though... for me, narga was a great tonal shift of the giant "fear me" big mobs i was used to, sure he was scary, but it was in a batman way compared to something like tigrex who literally just screams at you a lot, similar idea with shageru magala, but that's more on the 'mystery' side, of 'wtf is going on with this guy'
Quropeco is cool because he is like the monster form of the hunting horn which I love (which got taken out in Tri, stupidly)
that too, it about blew my mind when he 'roared' and called for help from a rathian. (almost shit myself*) lol
Sorry to disagree with you but I hate qurupeco ,one of my hated monster, (PS: my most hated is gigginox and its giggis) for 3 things:
1) it acts like a spoiled brat especially when it gets angry
2) I hated its attacks especially the one where it lights fire with its wings
3) when it calls a much bigger threat monster than itself like jho
I think I like the Nargacuga about the same as the Tigrex, but my favorite flagship monster is the Gore Magala. It's just relentless.
My favorite flagship is Brute Tiggy. Don't ask why, I don't know the answer
I can relate to allthatmh because monster hunter is not just a game to me its a friend in a world where no one likes you so theres my reason why I love monster hunter. thanks capcom.
I'm just incredibly happy you chose my comment to share with the rest of the world, Narga remains one of my favorite monsters and is the main reason I turn MH3U back on from time to time
im so glad its back im gonna give it a big welcome back hug :3
Andrew Hopkins with your weapon lmao
Narga and his armor was simply my favorite by design. It looked like a rad mix between a cat, a bat, and a dragon, and like you mentioned, it taught me a lot of the evasion skills I know now, and completely turned the hunting style I had before completely on its head.
I only just got a Wii U a couple weeks ago and never owned a Wii, so I never had MH3U online capabilities and I never made it to Lucent Narga. I hope they bring it in MHX so i can finally experience it myself instead of vicariously on UA-cam
the Nargacuga is special because it's a cat wyvern thing of 1 word
*rAWRrrRRAAAWWOOOOWwwww*
3u was my first game, and when I first started playing, I looked up trees for all the weapons, looked at all the late game armor, when I stumbled across the Eclipse Tone. It almost spoke to me, like I knew that was my dream weapon, and I wanted it with gigginox armor set because it seemed optimal for what I wanted.
I told my friend who introduced me into the game and he said "Oh, that's a Lucent weapon." I asked, "What's a Lucent?" And all he would say is that I'll have to wait and see. like a hundred hours later I finally got to fight it, and I immediately fell in love with it. Such a fun and tricky fight. The eclipse tone was within reach, but I had the worst luck. I had to fight it over 50 times to finally get the part I needed, and I never got tired of the fight.
My Palico in 4u is named Lucent and I spent like 30 minutes trying to get it to look as close to the real thing as possible XD I was so sad I couldn't fight my old friend in 4u, or even trade into parts for its weapon.
narga inspired me to become a ninja( along with ethoslab) XD its armor and weapons are some of the best in the game(s)! hence narga is one of my favorites!
This video is why I love Gaijin Hunter. Dude is just super genuine and his love for this series is infectious.
Here to watch again now that it's coming to monster hunter world! Thumbs up if that's why you are here too!
I too found it so difficult, to the point of stress and frustration when this monster was released. But it felt great when I finally overcame it. I'm kinda disappointed though on how I feel like they really nerfed Naruga Kuruga when it came out on the succeeding renditions of the series. I've been playing since MH2 and I know how the most of the monsters feel when we had no mounting, hunting styles and arts. So I can attest to myself at least that the Naruga feels weaker in the current editions of the franchise. I've only played up to MHXX at this point though.
I am looking forward to the release of the Iceborne though, can't wait till later today..
what do you mean remember monster hunter freedom Unite.
I dont fucking remember it, I still play it
I love Nargacuga because in MH3U it was the monster I hunted so much to get its awesome armour and weapons. It really is a great fight too which really sets this monster as rememberable.
Who's here after they saw mhw teasing nargacuga
me! narga is one of my fav monsters, freaking love it, Zinogre is my fav, because portable 3rd, but narga is a close 2nd
@@freakindamnshiki dog and cat :3
Yus
My friend had a copy of this game and I never even heard of this franchise, so he made me make a file and play it, and I would play that file every time I came over, then I ran into Nargacuga, and he has been my favorite monster to this day.
I love Narga...its theme is *L I T*
How bout zinogre
They lost their collective shit?
What I imagine: they brought a bucket, everybody shit in, they put the bucket down, the presentation began and the bucket was gone
RELEVANT
NARGA IS BACK
Imho, my favorite poster boy of the series is the zinogre, I don't know what it is, but there is alwasy something charming about figthing this monster that has this charged up mode with really quick moves and electricity coming out everywhere. Theres also the fact that you can catch bugs on his back and that's cool
Gaijin=outsider
Gaijin hunter=every weeaboos worst nightmare
Seeing Nargacuga on the front of Freedom Unite is what made me get the game in the first place. I love sleek monsters, so Nargacuga was a nice change compared to Rathalos and Yian Garuga, who are badass monsters in their own right, but just had times where they were merely aggravating due to their poison and constant windpress. My next game was 4U, which I've almost 100% the achievements in, and Nargacuga armour ended up being my go-to armour for my playstyle with Switch Axes. Heck, I still use it to fight lv 140 guild quests, and I'm sad the hidden axe ended up being a relic weapon. My girlfriend got me 3U for my birthday and I'm just about to reach Nargacuga again. This monster just made everything I loved about playing monster hunter, from the roar to the evasion learning curve it presented. I'm so glad to see Narga back in MHX, I can't wait for it to hit the west.
i like barioth more, sabre tooth ftw
When I was playing mhfu I was a long sword main (I know like the rest of the world) and I was a huge fan of purple sharpness, affinity and long swords that changed shape when the bar was full. The narga weapons were those three things all rolled in one.
Side Note: If I remember correctly the long swords that changed were
Narga: Extra spikes (so cool)
Chameleos: The sword would go invisible (so cool!)
Daora and Shogun Ceantaur: The sword would open
i like nargacuga but... for me is CHAMELEOS IS DA BEST
//nargacuga was my favourite monster until i saw chameleos so..
1: chameleos
2: narga
3: zin
+Roberto :D me too. it's ugly as hell and it can be very annoying at times, although an insect glaive can make things easier. my favorite in 4U is definetly gore/shagaru.
everyone has his own fav 8D
my favorites are
5 Lao shan lung
4 zinogre
3 raviente
2 lagiacrus
1 amatsumagatsuchi
back in 3U, lagi is definetly my favorite, but duramboros is a close second just because of how "derpy" it seems the idea of a giant stone beyblade that throws itself at you. i hope he comes back, truly.
"This is another sentiment of why we love Monster Hunter. It really is a nice escape from reality. It does give us another universe to be a different version of ourselves, and to overcome just wild, wild challanges, and feel acomplished. The best thing of all is that the community is cooperative, not competitive."
- Gaijin Hunter, August 15, 2015
"Lucent is a fun hunt" the fuck are you on Gaijin
I started on Monster hunter Unite before Freedom came out and because of this Narga(Diablos being my second favorite) became my all time favorite.
I actually hunted over a thousand nargas because the fight never got old. I was always feeling powerful fighting it and he just felt like one of the greatest challenges you could get.I always wore the full narga set and that's what got me into the evade lancer style and loved it ever since.
I onestly hope to god we get to have a Narga as a monster buddy in that Monster story spin off game. It would really bring a lot of old memories and just make me downright happy..
How to train ur Nargacuga XD
Great video gaijin, please do more of these types of videos with the history and habitat/behavior etc of the monsters!
hey, I wish I had seen your question as to why Narga was so special. To me he was so special because I loved fighting Narga for the first time in monster hunter 3 ultimate. At the time I had a habit of trapping monsters in pitfall traps and using bombs to weaken them. But since he was immune to pitfalls when he wasn't enraged. I was always so confused and it was fun to step out of my comfort zone and loved fighting him and getting used to his fast movements and it was incredibly satisfying to ko him and wail on his big black but until he died. I love Narga and am so glad he is returning on MHX.
this might be very unpopular, but i didnt like him in mhfu.
i felt like it was a reskin of tigrex, and i really hated tigrex
(because he always combo killed me with his charge, which i still think is really bad design, nowadays you can stay on the ground, which makes it a lot better)
Were you high when you fought him by chance? Narga doesn't move like any other monster.
yes but his body is basically a reskin of tigrex, as gaijin said
Obe lion Uh-huh... That's a pretty silly argument if you ask me. That's like saying any subspecies is a reskin of the original monster.
***** Point taken.
Barioth is the real reskin. Lolnado doesn't even make sense.
This is interesting, I have the virtually the same feelings even though my first MonHun was Tri on the Wii. I'm the one that introduced the series to my brother and friends. As we all got more into in my little brother ended up with a copy of Freedom Unite when he got a PSP, and we both were interested in not only the Tigrex you run into at the start, but the Nargacuga on the cover, I was super excited when they announced Narga was going to be in 3U further cementing my decision to buy a Wii U day one
I could never get a handle on the PSP controls and never got far into Freedom Unite, so having Narga in the generation I started on was awesome, I was a tad disappointed I never got to actually fight Tigrex til 4U, but he was worth the wait as well.
I really hope Barioth gets put into X, I was super sad when I didn't get to fight my favorite Ice-kitty.
"There's something increaibly special about the flagship monster for the title that got _you_ into the series"
I disagree. I f*ing hate brachydios
Yeah, that guy stopped me in my tracks when I was breezing through the guild quests :P
CraftainJulius Its all fun and games until Brach gets mad
+Magmafrost13 Yay another Brachy hater! :D
Thank you, thank you.. I thought I was alone.. I still hate it. First monster that ever made me loose a quest and till this day gives me a rough time.
+Magmafrost13 fuck gore magala
+Magmafrost13 It has the best battle music tho. Maybe tied on top rank with Zinogre.
I started with 4u and the Tetsucabra was the first monster I farmed and made armor out of, I was really new to the game and learning it's attack patterns and improving each fight really felt accomplishing. The toads armor is also very cool looking and made the cutscenes and story much more satisfying.
No, please, don't bring Lucy back. Had to solo 3U and it was not a fun fight, at all. He's irritating above all else, but damn if his weapons weren't good. I really, really don't want him, I'd rather a Goldbeard/Regular Ceadeus double fight.
Also, can I finally get to play a game with Narga and Tigrex in them at the same time? Please? I missed out on FU, and it would be _awesome_ to have both.
***** Narga and Tigrex will both be in MHX.
***** they need to nerf the way those poison spikes fly out.
***** You know what we need instead? Molten Tigrex and Lucent Nargacuga double quest. On 4U's Tower, not the large 3U one. Also, instead of poison, Lucent now gives Bleed.
Sounds intense. I'd like it.
Nack Firestorm calm down satan.
I miss fighting silverwind nargacuga, the monster and weapon design also super great, nice videos man, hope you can deliver more videos like this, and also more lore about monster deviant and subspecies !! Really enjoyed your videos
I will always resent Nargacuga as MHTri was my first game and in Tri Ultimate Nargacuga's inclusion made Barioth worse.
Smith Word. Barioth definitely one of my favorites, but I only found him fun in Tri. It greatly disappointed me how radically they changed him for the worse after his first appearance.
+Smith agreed barioth in tri was fun to figth as narga is but bigger. the onli think that anoys me are the small tornadoes from s. barioth
I started on 3u and therefore never got to understand the hype, but now i do!
I like how you distinguished tigrex and narga by their movements,
wish you or maybe someone else could disect and analyze similar monsters like that and make them more special :)
Let's hope it gets introduced in Monster Hunter World!
Hell yeah
I first fought the Narga in 3U. By far my favorite fight. I remember my second or third time I found the "magic box" area in it's spin around attack. Dodge to the left as it's spinning and it will twirl around you without doing damage even though your I-frames are over.
That's very true about the flagship monster of the entry you started in being special. My start with MH was with Tri and I always smile when I see Lagiacrus
I started playing in Freedom 2, so Tigrex is kind of my Narga. But I still have a soft spot for Narga. Its like a cat and a dragon with a giant mace for a tail, who also shoots needles at you and has arms made out of blades and pain.
Honestly I would love more videos on specifik monsters! I love this!
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite was my first MH game. I completely fell in love with Nargacuga back then, and he remains to this day my favourite monster. I am so excited about having him in MHGU also, as playing on the Switch is a completely new and wonderful experience for me. Great content as always!
Brilliant new series sir!! You should consider doing these types of videos for a few other monsters!! Namely Jinouga and Rathalos who happen to be other flagships as well (but i'm sure you already knew that :D)
Love your content by the way.
Cheers and may the Hunt be ever in your favour \m/
Dunno why i just found this, nearly 6 years later.
I also started with MH Freedom Unit, and Narga is still my favorit Monster.
Green, Lucent or Silverwind, it does not matter. This monster was my first Flagship, and it is still one of the most fun fight for me to this day.
Coming from the future where I was a MH World noob, facing Nargacuga in Generations/X was probably my hook in loving the MH games of the past, since, while I was fighting lethargic, slow monsters and not really digging the more restrictive moveset, Nargacuga basically said to me "Dodge or die." and that's what I ended up doing, even after playing near over a hundred hours in world, this cool looking, badass monster was still kicking my arse and teaching me to get better. I gotta respect it for that.
Basically, it's just a really well made fight that I enjoyed a lot.
I knew about Nargacuga loooong before I played Monster Hunter for the first time (MH4U). I always liked how it looked. It reminded me of a panther. Sleek, black fur, piercing eyes, swift movements.
I really hope MHX makes it across so I can tango with it and face it with my favourite weapon (CB). And speaking of Charge Blades, I hope there's a Narga CB.
Despite my first game being MHF2, Narga is my favorite fight. It was always such a back and forth with Narga and my Dual Swords. The first time I beat it in G rank in FU was down the last minute and I finally got it low enough to cap as well as it being my final cart. Just seeing that swipe at me while jumping into that trap always left an impression in me. Now, I've gotten to the point where I barely even use a mega potion on it and I'm dodging like a champ.
My First MH game was TRI, so my favorite monster (of course) ended up being Lagiacrus. My favorite Weapon is Switch Axe, but I remember using it with pretty much with every set I had. It wasn't until 3U, when I met Nargacuga and used it's armor that I felt like a proper Switch Axe user. I was lucky to get an Evasion table and one of my very first charms was Evade Dist+5 Edgmaster+3 and with that charm I was able to make a mixed set of both of my now favorite monsters, and a set dedicated to my favorite Weapon. Lagiacrus will always be my favorite monster because it was the rival to beat in TRI but Narga is my second favorite because it gave me a proper set for my favorite weapon.
I had barely heard of Narga before MHGen but it’s one of my favorite monsters now, right up there with my first flagship Gore Magala. It’s a fantastic, fast paced fight and the music that plays is great. Plus I was maining Switch Axe at the time, and Narga’s armor is perfect for non-adept SA.
Touching on the point that Gaijin made that MH is another universe that we can escape into. For example, I have chronic pain issues and when I started playing 3U I had depression problems and I wasn't able to get to school most days. I always thought of myself in the game as a jolly hammer-man xD, and one could say, my other self. And that impacted on my life a lot, I started getting to school more, I started getting out more and I became much happier. And even in real life I started acting like my in-game self. MH was a life-saver for me :).
As a Hunter from Freedom and Freedom 2 that unfortunately dropped the series at United and picked it back up at 4U(3U technically, but had no time to get far and it was a few months before 4U) I am really looking forward to fight Narucaguga for the first time. Even from looking at it during my brushing up of all I'd missed in MH since United Narca was just one of those monsters I told myself "Wow, I wish I could fight him" hmm maybe if I find my copy of United I can try burning through it and fighting him.
I've seen this video twice before, but I felt the need to come back to it since I just faced this magnificent beast for the first time. Such a fun fight, I use dual blades normally, so anytime I'm fighting a very agile monster with them it always feels great.
My first MH was 3U and I was just going along until the fight with Nargacuga happened. I thought it looked so badass cause it was like a catbat monster that was really fast and the fight was really fun. Afterwards I saw the armor and weapons and at that moment it became my favorite monster. I was so sad it wasn't in 4U but hopefully we will get MHX in the west and I can go toe to toe with my favorite once more.
I started in 4 Ultimate, so Gore Magala/Shagaru Magala is my flagship monster. But Nargacuga is definitely one of my favorites too. Finally got to hunt him for the first time in Gen Ultimate today, and I see why everyone is so hyped about him. I can't wait to get the Silverwind gear.
I have to agree with getting better at dodging with Evasion+. I struggled with Lucent in MH3U and after some time with learning the frames and what not, I got a lot better at fighting him.
Nargacuga is one of my favorites because of how unique it is.
The spiked tail, the sleek catlike design, the glowing eyes, the epic gear, and the challenge of the fight itself all make me excited to face it in MHX
You're right, the flagship monster for the game that was your "intro" to the series stands out. Gore Magala stands out to me - MH4U was my first MH game, and I put over 400 hours into it.
"There's something incredibly special about the flagship monster from the game that got you into the series."
I totally agree. I'm an OG hunter from the latter years of MH1. I recall getting the game before Freedom 1 but not really getting into it until I got online following its release.
So, for me, Rathalos is incredibly important.
I'm glad Narga is back too, its definitely one of my favorites to fight.
I started playing monster hunter at mh 3u and narga is still one of my favorite monsters. the glowing red eyes really sell it for me and i love the lucient naraga plus all the armor/weps looks amazing!
nargacuga is still my favorite. greens armor was my all time favorite for bows back in 3u
Nice video, Gaijin! I'd also say that its music is the BEST thing EVER
