  • Crimson Glow Valstrax are a Variant of Valstrax introduced in Monster Hunter Rise. It is far more aggressive than its normal variant and is known to attack anything in sight. This is due to the fact that its dragon energy has gone rampant.

    When you're terrified of Bazelgeuse's predator missile-like ambush, then realize Valstrax's ambush is a fucking tactical nuke.

      @@ninjafrog6966 True, and it makes the most sense too, now that I think about it.
      Regular Valstrax minds its own business most of the time and only crashes into airships because it doesn't see them (since when it flies very fast it uses its scales to cover its eyes to avoid the dragon energy to damage them).
      But this one? This one is crazy. Its own dragon energy has drove it insane and now it always actively search for preys or even just for creatures to kill (in its intro cutscene it even blasts a bunch of Kelbi, Izuchi and Remobra with no reason), so it makes sense for it to be feared unlike the regular version.

      As of your post, theres 2 of us with qualifying pfps. I dont know the OPs pfp, but ill share with you mine; Futaba Sakura from Persona 5
      Description of her Personality and Past
      Futaba Sakura; age 15-16, from Persona 5, birthday, Feb 19th, introverted, basically very anti social to anyone not around her small group of friends (MC and others) who she stuck with after they helped her overcome her past traumas and promised to punish the person who was responsible for her mothers death
      Suffered a very terrible childhood due to the suicide of her mother, and due to some manipulation from government officials who claimed the suicide of her mother was due to Futaba herself. As a result, for a large part of her life, Futaba has had constant breakdowns and has had voices in her head convincing her her mothers death was all her fault. Even after that, she has been repeatedly passed around family members as no one wanted to raise her and constantly abused her for their own personal gain; example, banned from cleansing, no bed to sleep on, beating her for no reason, etc, until one of her mothers closest acquaintances payed her relatives a large sum of money in order to take her in as her guardian, who actually cares for her unlike everyone else before her.
      Extremely intelligent and a master hacker, loves all sort of technology. However, despite her extremely high intelligence, when she did go to elementary and middle school; she was often made fun of, laughed at, and alienated from others because she was way above their level in terms of intelligence. Since no one wanted to be with her, this only reinforced her loneliness and her traumas
      After MC and friends help overcome her lonliness and traumas, shes alot more playful, bright and cheerful, but also VERY blunt when speaking to others, showing no sense of tact. Also deeply cares for her guardian who took her in, as he was the only one who did the best he could to care for her, unlike every other guardian who abused her (besides her mom when she was alive ofc). As of the pseudo sequel, she now attends High School as a first year

    whats great about this theme is that it fits "crimson glow" valstrax much better then regular val, its important to consider that crimson glow is a elder dragon variant, like ruiner nergigante. valstrax as a base monster was already a cut above other elders, and could take monsters like regular nergi in a fight, but crimson glow is another beast entirely. the base val theme is heroic, noble, and makes the fight feel like a duel between you and val. crimson glow's theme is intimidating, scary almost, because this isn't any ordinary beast, this is the creature that destroyed the city in the sandy plains (if you read the sandy plains notes about the man walking back home and he finds it all destroyed, he mentions at the end a "crimson glow" setting over the destroyed city) and you should be terrified.

      ​@@magnabueno5360same, those kinds of attacks are arguably the most unsuspecting dangerous move some monsters have in their arsenal.
      They can dish quite surprisingly high damage depending on your defense, rage status and what types of monster/rank you fought them. And they give little to no i-frame compared to the tumble after you got your ass blasted half way the area, but at least you're safe most of the time, can wirefall and in worst case scenario lying on the ground a little bit longer is literally can save you a cart if you use it wisely.

    At 1:57, especially when he does his laser move, that's when everyone who fights him for the first time realizes... This isn't normal Valstrax, usually they are tame, passive, they fly around and accidentally crash into airships, but never go out of their way to cause harm or misfortune to us, at some points you might even consider them sights of worship or deities heralding chaos or good fortune in some lands, not here. Here, it comes to ground, and it wants to be known; it wants to find you, slowly peel you apart piece by agonizing piece until you scream for forgiveness, then send a blade into your chest before bisecting you or incinerating you with its laser. But, while it shows so many horrid things, it also tells us that it is asking for help in ending its suffering because nothing else seems to work because it KNOWS what Hunters can do. That got more depressing than I liked, but this is a Valstrax that fell from grace of course...

But even despite that experience, Valstrax *never* gets old for me. This was a monster that I gladly farmed in and out to make all weapons and the armor in MHGU, and you can bet that I had absolutely no reservations about doing it again. I had 100+ hunts in MHGU, and I'm sitting at 70+ in Rise already. I just absolutely love this monster and its gear!

Is amazing how the composer is able to get the monster personality, behaviour and attacks and transform it into the perfect intervals, harmonies, etc... To me is probably the best OST in videogames history. The power of Zinogre, the gracefulness of Mizutsune dance, the colossal steps of Gammoth, the primal feeling of Glavenus, the brutality of Rajang, the calm and warmth that you feel when you are in the village... What about the silence when you fight Khezu because is blind? AWESOME. I could talk hours about how they play with sounds in this game.
