A charge your weapons and potion for the Monster Hunter fans in your life because Zoh Shia is back, and it’s a repeatable High Rank hunt for all those who have stepped into HR 50+. Yes, the Ultimate Guardian has blessed us with fresh loot again.
Of course, you won’t be all alone in such hunts: this message dropped earlier today to reveal that Zoh Shia isn’t a world-exclusive tourist. Now this beast terrifies hunters just as much as any other before the mission that produces new materials to craft itself some gorgeous armor seemingly forged from heaven.
It has that ethereal design that fashion hunters will lust after-imagine glowing adornments, draping cloth, and perhaps a set bonus or some crazy abilities.
Still waiting to hear whether Zoh Shia’s going to have a different moveset or if it will be the same fight that we know it by; still called the Ultimate Guardian, so you can bet it hits like a truck. Maybe even harder now. Better stack those Max Potions.
What is intriguing here is the repeatable. Monster Hunter for quite a long time boasts of grinds, but this one is locked after HR 50+, bringing it with a certain hardcore endgame element for serious hunters.
No cozy stuff for the casuals; this is for hunters who did the hard work, and honestly, if you have armor stats coming into play, you know it’s worth the suffering.
The big question now is: how are the drop rates on those materials? If past offenses mean anything, look to take Zoh Shia through at least twelve rounds before getting every single needed drop. RNGesus giveth and RNGesus taketh.
It did not indicate that this is a standalone add-on or if it will lead to another major update with the way Monster Hunter does things. An event quest? Some sort of sudden monster variant? Who knows.
But for now, let the hunt begin. Dust that end-game gear off and see if you still have it, or get carted a few times in the process. Either way, it’s going to be a fun trip.
So who’s already gearing up? Let us know if you’re going to jump right on day one or going to sit back and see just how brutal this fight really is. Either way, happy hunting, and may the goddess of carves bless your hunts! Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate that armor is crazy!!
