There aren't many games like this Monster Hunter Wilds or any other entry in the series. They are best described as a series of boss encounters, but they are higher than similar projects Shadow of the Colossus. After all, players can explore rich open worlds with friends, level up equipment, and repeatedly fight these boss-like monsters.

It will be interesting to see how many monsters the final version will have Monster Hunter Wilds will include In the beta, players could fight four large monsters alone or with friends, not counting the small monsters that are there just for meat. So let's now go through the four big monsters, all of which were new additions to the franchise.

4 Chatacabra

This toad is big but easy

Chatacabra is an unskippable monster because it is part of the opening quest. After Balahara's group chases them through the desert, they make a small camp where they can choose their default weapon. Since this will be a solo affair, players should keep their distance from Chatacabra unless they want to take a riskier approach. However, a bow in any game can give players the safety of distance. No matter what weapon players choose, they can switch once they reach the main camp after this encounter, so don't stress too much.

Chatacabra is not that difficult because it is a big target. He doesn't have any wildly destructive attacks, except for his tongue, and his body doesn't have great defense. Through sustained strikes, players can set up a focused attack once they open up enough damage. Wounds are a new mechanic Monster Hunter Wilds where glowing bits hit by weapons deal critical damage. While not a blockbuster new monster, players can have fun with Chatacabra in repeated encounters once co-op is unlocked.

3 doshaguma

Bear With Dog Face

Doshaguma is the only monster-like animal that players can face in the beta. It has the face of a dog and its body and level of aggression can be compared to that of a bear. Video game fans know very well that bears can often be just as scary as goblins in games Red Dead Redemption 2 or even the mutated ones, called Yao Guai, v Fallout series. What makes the Doshaguma dangerous, aside from its massive body and vicious claws, is that it hunts in packs. Players may be unfortunate enough to receive a doshaguma next to another when trying to master this hunt.

That can be a theme Monster Hunter Wilds because there is another monster in the beta that at least seems to be around others of its kind often. That would make the game harder, that's for sure, which is wild because the series was challenging before the Soulslikes came along. Regardless, hopefully players can get the Doshaguma on their own on their hunt. It's the only other monster associated with the main quest in the beta and will be a clue for you once players complete it. Fortunately, others lurk if players know where to look.

2 Balahara

Armored slippery sand snake

Balahara is technically the first monster players will see in the beta. The game begins with players surfing a sea of ​​sand when they suddenly see someone running away from something below the surface. He rides a monster called a Seikret, resembling a Chocoby zr Final Fantasy series. This large monster is called Balahara and looks like a giant snake with appendages, covered in hard armor. They allowed the giant Sandworms to overwhelm Dune, not in size, but in sheer strength and speed.

Players save this NPC when opening, but cannot fight Balahara directly. However, they can encounter him later once they can explore the beta map. If you damage her enough, a quest-like mission will begin to kill her, complete with Game Over restrictions like if players die too often. His speed will be difficult to counter and his cover is rock hard. This one definitely requires a partner or three to beat it quickly. After that, it's worth fighting Balahara solo for training while players have time left in the beta.

1 Rey Dau

Terror from the sky

The last and strongest new enemy in the beta is called Rey Dau. Once this thing arrives, it's not even a question of who the strongest monster in the beta is. He is big, has the ability to fly and can shoot lightning bolts. If players aren't careful, they can be blasted to pieces if they take a direct hit from his lightning-infused mouth beam. It is best to go with food prepared at home in the tent. Hardcore Monster Hunter fans know the value of a well-prepared meal before the hunt.

Since the blacksmith is not ready in the beta, players cannot power up by crafting equipment from materials. This means that beating Rey Dau alone is nearly impossible unless fans are expertly patient and know how to quickly locate and capitalize on blows. Be sure to quickly fire off an SOS Flare when you come across a Rey Dau, or better yet, join someone else's hunt and help them out. If the fourth monster in the beta is this wild, then the final game surely has some tough encounters waiting to punish unprepared hunters. It sounds exciting for many fans and they surely can't wait until next February.
