MHR Quiz #1

Elder Dragons that have been altered by and overcome the Qurio are called...

Answer explanation

Yes, they are Risen elder dragons, elder dragons that were infected by the Qurio and overcome it. They gain swathes of bright orange coloring, darker skin, feathers, or scales, and the ability to kill me a lot more often.

Which of these Risen elders does not exist?

• Risen Chameleos

• Risen Kushala Daora

• Risen Shagaru Magala

• Risen Velkhana

Answer explanation

Risen Velkhana is NOT a real elder. I wish it was, honestly, but Velkhana is hard enough already and I kind of feel like the Risen iteration would just be plain unfair.

Which of these monsters from Monster Hunter World was ported to Rise?

• Paolumu

• Anjanath

• Odogaron

• Deviljho

Answer explanation

Anjanath, oh Anjanath, this is a ballad to you...

Your forearms are smaller than your eyes, and you are just a T-rex with fins,

This is your ballad!

Which of these monsters is the flagship for the base game of Rise?

• Malzeno

• Zinogre

• Magnamalo

• Thunder Serpent Narwa

Answer explanation

Although Narwa is the final boss of Rise (prior to Sunbreak, where Primordial Malzeno is introduced. *shudders*) Magnamalo was the main monster featured in the trailers and the first of many quote-un-quote "final bosses". It is very similar to Nergigante from World.

Of these monsters, which is NOT introduced in Village/Low Rank? Pick two answers.

• Jyuratodus

• Zinogre

• Mizutsune

• Rakna-Kadaki

• Barroth

Answer explanation

Jyuratodus is the Urgent Quest for HR5 quests, and Rakna-Kadaki is the Urgent Quest for HR6 quests. Zinogre, Mizutsune, and Barroth are all introduced in Village Rank.

The subspecies of Rajang in Rise is called...

Answer explanation

Yes, 'tis Furious Rajang, an even more inexplicably wrathful ball of ire (and likely lice).

This is the part that CANNOT be broken with a blunt weapon.

• Back

• Tail

• Head

• Foreleg

Answer explanation

Every monster is different, and with some monsters, the tail actually CAN be broken with a blunt weapon, like Mizutsune's or Garangolm's, though none of them can be severed.

This Magma Almudron part CANNOT be broken with any weapon.

• Tail

• Foreleg

• Head

• Chest

Answer explanation

Most monsters, with the exception of perhaps Ibushi and Narwa, and definitely Valstrax, can no longer be dealt partbreaking damage to the chest, unlike past games.

This is a word used to describe the Nargacuga subspecies in Rise.

• Lucent

• Gleaming

• Moonlight

• Flaming

Answer explanation

Lucent Nargacuga is the subspecies that can absorb moonlight as a veil and subsequently turn invisible during some attacks, like its enraged tail slam and enraged whirlwind dash. As a fun fact, this is used in its 'ultimate attack', where it darts around the arena for a randomized amount of time before leaping into the air and slamming its tail down in an almost definite one-shot.

These are two monsters that are considered elder dragons. Pick two answers.

• Violet Mizutsune

• Scorned Magnamalo

• Kushala Daora

• Shagaru Magala

• Gore Magala

Answer explanation

Honestly, Scorned Magna and Violet Mizu are more objectively powerful than most elder dragons, but, to be fair, they don't have wings, and are therefore NOT ELDER DRAGONS! ELDER DRAGONS MUST HAVE WINGS!

...Or so the game says, with the exception of Yama Tsukami (but Tsukami is definitely dead).
