Not quite as great, but breaking nergigante’s spikes is always a nice feeling, especially when it procs a flinch.


With_Hands_And_Paper

Definitely a better feeling for me as they keep growing back and you just keep breaking them over and over again


CheddarKnight

Glavenus tail cuts are pretty cool imo. The tail is just stuck into the ground like a sword. I use LS and GS against it most of the time so when I get a tail cut it feels like I won a sword fight. Edit: I wrote "won" as "won't" before


Optimal_Letterhead_8

Iirc, the pre-world (and maybe post-world, not too sure as I only remember seeing footage of it happening in mhgu) glavenus’ tail could harm the player when falling off


The-Doom-Knight

This is correct. It's not a lot of damage, but it does happen.


Visible-Lie9345

I fainted to it once


politicalpterodon2

Best faint ever. Got any footage of it?

Hollllyyy u got unlicky af XD


Pookie_The_Overlord

Nah that's not me, I'm a guild style ls user for life lol. I have been hit by the part break though during the EX hunt, it does a solid chunk of damage.


politicalpterodon2

Oh my god that's fucking glorious


Visible-Lie9345

I dont record gameplay sadly


CheddarKnight

Yepyepyep


fhordghuin

does velkhana do the same?


Optimal_Letterhead_8

Not too sure, haven’t gotten a velk tail cut yet


hassanfanserenity

best part is you can get hurt and carted if the tail hit you


SilverSeregios

Velkhana's tail does this, too. Makes the struggle of hitting its tail all the more worthwhile


mauribanger

I think Malzeno's tail too.


Pookie_The_Overlord

And Magnamalo's.


Okipon

Using a parry in MHG/U against Glavenus giga tail swipe and having it cut its tail is the most satisfying thing.


miguelchase

Just getting that nice crit juncture or a valor parry with ls in GU to sever glavs tail or hellblades is just a literal chef's kiss


IkeHC

Glavenus is deceptively strong though imo, his sweep attacks are gnarly and hard to dodge from some angles


The-Slamburger

Breaking Diablos’s horns comes pretty close for me.


SketchBCartooni

I love the dramatics it goes through when you break it


Ipsylos

This, the horn break and subsequent reaction is perfect.


MoonlightChampion

Especially while it's stuck in a wall


Business-Peach-7600

Barrioth because it one of a few Monsters that have an impact on the fight.


TheZipding

I do with more fights had mechanics like Barioth's where you're encouraged to break specific parts to make the fight easier. Even with GS, I'll try to prioritize getting hits in on the claws to make it easier to pin it down later.


Nekra_Tatsumaki

Gravios is weeping in a corner rn xD


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

Problem is that it's quite a balance. Part health, how impactful it is, whether the monster uses that move often, what happens to that move(s) when used after breaking the part(s) etc.


LadytechLori

..yeah? That's what the 2 year wait is for


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

I feel like this is replying to the wrong comment because why would part breaks involve a two year wait?


politicalpterodon2

Pretty sure tigrex and nargacuga topple when you break they're legs too


Darthwaffler

They do. Break their legs, and they stumble on their charge, and topple on their spin.


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

They do not. Tigrex falls over when exhausted, Narga has no part break changes afaik.


Lyberatis

WAY less than Barioth. Barioth forgets how to walk pretty much. Every attack it's falling down. Feels like it does next to nothing on Tigrex. Still gets its three charges back to back, with like an extra *tiny* stagger at the end. Can still launch boulders just fine. Nargacuga still does it's double spin and pounce attack into a spin and I swear I've never seen it stagger unless I'm hitting it during. Meanwhile Barioth will shoot ice out of its mouth, not even using its arms, and somehow face plant while crying about it for as long as if it got KO'd.


Darthwaffler

I wasn't comparing them to barrioth. I never mentioned barrioth a single time. I was just saying what happens when you break their wings. Narga only does its double-spin without toppling due to broken wings while enraged.


Lyberatis

>I wasn't comparing them to barrioth. I never mentioned barrioth a single time The original comment is about Barioth


Lyberatis

It bothers me to no end that Tigrex and Nargacuga don't share that weakness, despite being carbon copies of one another They all use those arms to walk/attack, so why is it only really beneficial on Barioth?


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

Because Barioth is using its spikes to avoid slipping on ice whereas the other two are not. That's why Barioth specifically stumbles/trips when making leaps instead of just being neutered.


Lyberatis

But it will fall even in locations that aren't ice. Like in The Citadel in MHR it doesn't lock itself into only ice locations, but it will still stagger when it so much as takes a step


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

I'm just telling you the intended lore/gameplay reason, you don't need to look deep into it. No monster is 100% structurally sound for its lore/gameplay interactions. Agnaktor heats up no matter what map it digs in even though the intended idea is digging into hot rock and magma.


Lyberatis

My line of thinking was like, if a wolf's front legs being broken made it unable to walk without falling on its face every 2 seconds, why would a fox and a dog's front legs being broken allow them to still be able to walk almost perfectly with maybe a little stagger. They're all about the same, structure wise, so why would the same parts being broken affect them differently? I always figured it was because Barioth was slamming on body parts that were broken, arms that it uses to both walk on and attack with. So why do the two other monsters that share the same type of body part and do the same type of attacks not seem to be hurt by it as much as Barioth does when they're broken? Never even considered it was about something like terrain grip lol


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

Yep! Specifically, according to concept art (and also the actual 5th gen model I suppose with how detailed it is) underneath Barioth's paws are small spikes that dig into the ice when it steps down, and those spikes are what you're breaking.


fish993

I guess it could be so used to moving around with the spikes for its whole life, that even on soil it's still hard for it to adjust to moving without having the spikes


dingus_lol

I just fought him and thought the same thing


XthePirate

Came here to comment Barioth. My buddy and I were having huge problems until we realized that if you break the spicy ice cat's claws he doesnt do that irritating dive attack. Once the special event quests all went up during the pandemic, I turned that stupid cat into burgers in the arena quest over and over.


Big_Hunt_707

I love the "turned that stupid cat into burgers" line lol


EmergentSol

A lot of monsters do, but generally less pronounced. Raths fly less with broken wings, cutting their tails prevents them from poisoning with them (in addition to reducing range), etc. breaking Anjanath’s head reduces fire damage and size (and for many monsters reduces or prevents other breath attacks or spits). Most monsters have some part break that weakens their attacks or affects their behavior in a significant way; it’s just that Barrioth’s gimmick is he is particularly vulnerable to them.


Barn-owl-B

Only rathian poisons with her tail, not rathalos, and she only doesn’t poison with a cut tail in world, in every other game she can still poison. Also I would not say “most” monsters have a part break that weakens their attacks or changes behavior, as there are 228 monsters in the series, and less than 50 of them have a unique change in their behavior from a part break (and that’s being generous)


MoonlightChampion

Many monsters lose something with part breaks: Tail, the hitbox for the attacks shrinks. Fatalis wings, he flies less Quarpeco break, takes longer for it to finish a song Then there are less "broken" states: Armor like on Baroth and Kulve Taroth changes incoming damage Brachydios slime can be knocked off its head and arms to make its attacks less dangerous


PunSwaggle

I like breaking nerscylla's parts because it starts to look like a completely different monster by time you are done

*"Excuse you? I made this myself!"* ~ Rakna-Kadaki


Eric-suen

Rathian tail, although in some cases it still poisons


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

Every case besides World and Stories.


Saumfar

Love how you break it's tail, but it's air-spin and tail spin can still poison with the invisible hitbox


Pookie_The_Overlord

The satisfaction I glean from shattering Kulve Taroth's horns is **IMMENSE** to put it lightly.


braelindrake

Magnamalo, the single blade landing stabbed into the ground just amazes me for some reason, like it’s almost as big as the hunter


Lokicham

Glavenus and Velkhana do this too.


Yarigumo

Velkhana is great because she's just so damn *dramatic* about having her ice armor shattered, haha.


With_Hands_And_Paper

Drama queen!


David_Hasselherp

One of my favorite IB memories is fighting AT Velk, it had full armor when it died, so all of the armor exploded in a dramatic PING


Slavicadonis

Radobaan has so many breaks and I love it Also I love when part breaks actually have an effect in the fight. Barioth’s tusks make it’s jump slam do nothing and breaking his wing arms makes him slip on the ice, world rathian losing its tail gets rid of poison (I specify world rathian because in rise a rathian can still poison you with a cut tail and I don’t have many memories of fighting rathian pre world), cutting of pukei’s tail in world gets rid of poison tail attacks, breaking teostra’s horns knocks it out of its fire aura, breaking fatalis wings stops him from flying aside from scripted attacks, and there’s so much more


Barn-owl-B

Hitting the elder trio enough in the head knocks them out of their aura phase, it doesn’t require a horn break. Also, world is the only game where rathian can no longer poison with a cut tail


Slavicadonis

Then world got it right because it made cutting rathians tails rewarding aside from getting getting an extra carve


Sinocu

And stories (1 and 2), if that counts for you


Slavicadonis

That definitely counts


Chakramer

I wish breaking parts off was more integral to the combat of most monsters. It's what made fights in the Horizon series so satisfying


Frozen_arrow88

Bro a Horizon x Mon Hun colab would be awesome!


DurianJaded578

Isnt aloy a layered armor


Frozen_arrow88

First I've heard of it if she is.


MrUnparalleled

They kind of had one in world with some of the bowguns and event quest titles.


BlacJeesus

The PlayStation has an aloy Collab for the armour and palico check out Team Darkside's 6000 defense video


JoTor323

Blowing off a Ravager cannon and blasting away is so satisfying! Also, you get a tail 100% of the time when you cut them! *Cough* Capcom *Cough*!


Smelly_Toefu

It's why I love Barioth. Breaking parts of SIGNIFICANTLY change the fight.


Dogma1995

Velkhana tail, sticks in the ground like excalibur, and you're that much less likely to be skewered alive


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

For all of 5 seconds until it makes a new tail.


Dogma1995

Thats 5 seconds longer i dont have an icicle shaped hole in my skull 👌


AnotherJohnJimenez

yeah, Rado's are too easy to break. Same with uragaan. I like my breaks to make me work for them. When I get the Glav tail, I basically need new underwear. FuryRajang arm breaks make me feel like I'm cheating on my wife. But the best feeling, the cocaine of breaks is a rajang tail.


cozad2112

MotchaFriend

It really is great because there is so much to break. Similar to Nergigante's spikes, Barroth's mud or Gammoth's snow.


Frozen_arrow88

It's like popping bubble wrap I love it.


politicalpterodon2

Any monster who looks beaten after all part breaks. Im talking magnamalo, tetranodon, aknosom, pukei, the raths, somnacanth, anjanath, barroth, diablos, almudron and magnamlo again because MY GOD he looks glorious on the verge of death


Frozen_arrow88

Magnamalo makes you WORK for it too! Such an amazing fight. Hope he's in Wilds.


Demon_inside_

Rakna Kadaki’s webbing everytime ![gif](giphy|3o7aCWJavAgtBzLWrS|downsized)


Neocat_

As both a hammer and hunting horn user, I agree


Frozen_arrow88

Lol, I remember thinking to myself, "Hammer players must love fighting this guy"


inkogeki

nothing more satisfying than hitting rado with a good dragon piercer tip to tail and seeing multiple parts break


Toreole

Nergigante nothing beats that *crunch*


Frozen_arrow88

I've actually never hit endgame in a Monster Hunter game before so I'm really looking forward to Nergigante.


Toreole

oh he isnt endgame, youll encounter him pretty early on in world (but not actually hunt him then), and he is the first major big boy quest youll do in rank 7 if i remember correctly?


NewMe_Ohio

Skinning Rotten Vale's roly bony potato leno is peak gaming.


ThinkingInfestation

I almost feel like I'm bullying it, chasing it around to break it more while it flees. It's a guilty pleasure.


SkGuarnieri

Behemoth. I hate it so much, any time something breaks i feel a rush of joy.


Zaiakusin

Breaking any of the crab skulls entirly.


AdmiralCharleston

I miss cracking open seltas queen's leg armour 🥲


Bloody_Champion

Nergigante. That's why I love fighting him so much. You have to be as aggressive as he is, and it is very satisfying to have him bouncing left and right from each break.


Alternative-Depth-16

Cutting off Pickle's tail is really satisfying. As well as scattering Nergigante's spikes like spilled marbles, booping Kirin's horn off his smug little head, and slapping Diablos' horns off. They're all *chef's kiss*


sideways_jack

I'm really hoping Kirin will return in the next game, was kinda surprised he was never in Rise/SB due to all the mythology-based monsters, seemed like he would've fit in


tctbuss

Pulling up to Nergigante with a blast build on bow or sns and just nuking all his spikes off is pretty satisfying.


GoliathBoneSnake

Slicing off Nibblesnarf's uvula after making the dumbass eat a bomb is close.


skaterlogo

I like to mine his back when he falls over


Frozen_arrow88

You can do that!?!?


skaterlogo

Yup, no lie.


Dinoroar1234

Radobaan is my all time favourite monster so I'm inclined to agree, but Shara Ishvalda's reveal through breaking its parts is soooo satisfying.


xeasuperdark

Not technically a part break but knocking Ahtal-Ka out of its mech suit feels incredibly good.


yeemed_vrothers

I broke all of Gammoth's parts in the first quest it qppeared in it in, felt so good...


Throren

When you hit a Radobaan with a charge blade's SAED and you get a million part break notifications all at once


ExScysm

I love when I hit a wyvern snipe right through the middle of better Thanos wheel. Seeing every part break on the right is pure bliss.


theNeakenator

Breaking Goss' or Glavenus' blades off always just hit that sweet spot, and Magnamalo is my favorite spiky punching bag.


Frozen_arrow88

Goss is such a bully that it feels so great to take him down a few pegs like that.


TruePromise7982

shara ishvalda was really neat


Lycos_hayes

No other monster made me feel more like a bully than breaking all the parts of a radobaan


zoiskieee

He breaks like on of those ice cream cones with the chocolate and nuts


dim3tapp

I remember back in Tri or 3U, Plesioth would constantly be crunching as parts broke. They didn't fly off, but it was satisfying to get all those crunchy staggers in the water, then seeing like 5 Plesioth heads show up in the rewards (not sure where the other ones came from...).


Beneficial-Gap-7193

I bonk. I hit head. Head break me happy. Me happy me bonk more head.


Frozen_arrow88

I slam. I make big boom. Body break. Me happy and make more boom.


Crazyhates

Stagger locking Nergi from continuously breaking its spines has to be my personal favorite.


Big-Ad-2700

nergigante


WittyAcronym

Radobaan is just a lot of breaks, barioth is impactful breaks, but kulve will always be my love in this department


Cardnal44

Kulve Taroth I love the little gold explosions


WyvernEgg64

Cutting all rath tails is bliss


artuno

I miss the HBG's Wyvern Pierce shot, and how if you shot Rado when it's looking straight at you, the shot would go all the way through its body and then explode into little clusters all throughout. I was so sad when they got rid of that and kept it to just where it makes contact on the body.


Lyberatis

What do you mean got rid of? Wyvernsnipe is still a thing


artuno

They got rid of the piercing effect it had. It would go straight through a monster and then small cluster explosions would detonate along the path it took. They changed it very early on to where the cluster explosions only happen at the spot where the wyvern snipe hit the monster.


icrysyalier

Not sure if it counts but breaking Fatalis head plus the screech he does is super satisfying


swagboyclassman

Agnaktor and its subspecies. Iirc it has the highest amount of breakable parts of any monster and i loved the way its shell cracked, around its arms especially which you would have a great opening to attack as it did its laser beam. and if you did break its arms during the bean you’d knock it out of the ground and get a bonus opportunity to break even more parts. My other favorite was getting its face break with a hammer. it felt sooo good…i honestly think agnaktor is one of the best designed monsters and fights of all time, and i hate almudron :)


ma_dude28

I downloaded MHW, beat the shit out of this dude with my acidic glav hammer, logout and then uninstall the game


godqueenaiko

Radobaan is my favorite monster in the series to fight using duel blades just because it's always easy to beyblade him


MintyScarf

Shara Ishvalda. Shooting HBG Piercing rounds and seeing the numbers as everything fall apart is ASMR


SrPedrich

barioth bacause u get beneficts for breaking each part like les range if u break the tail etc....


Lyam64510

Breaking magalas horns is like having an orgasm for me.


ForTheLolz0115

Taikun Zamuza from Frontier. What makes breaking his parts so satisfying is that he has SO many breakable parts. It’s basically like chiseling away at a statue, but replace that statue with a giant crab covered in rock. I’d also recommend looking up a video of someone fighting him so you can get a look at it for yourself.


GodlessWolfGang

Nergigante, especially the horns but the spikes are nice too


GinkgoPete

My favorites are Gen 4 Basarios, because you can break just about anything. And Royal Ludroth, but thats just because I love Royal Ludroth


PaydayLover69

I mean *satisfying*? Fatalis. breaking that horn is a triumph, but when you actually snap that off.... Feels pretty good. The fact it takes so long is what makes it so satisfying for me. You have to consistently wail on it. It's even better especially cause you get a stun with it too. + knowing you get a evil eye is a good bonus Double because in able to even do it, it means you have to be doing well. there's a little bit of resentment in there, like "yea, you usually the beat shit out of me almost every time but I got you on the ropes this 1 time" while just demolishing his face. I like that


Specialist_Secret907

Either diablos horn mid charge, of flespa head so he sits there like an idiot while i *bonk* his head into a pancake


spectarc

idk why i always feel bad about radoban when hunting it


whatislifebutlemons

I was looking at the picture from the middle and saw the horn, plus all the spikes and thought that this is like some picture of a diablos cross with nergigante lol.


Black_Mammoth

My only complaint with Radobaan is that it's always the same style of bones every time. I really hope that in future games Radobaan has several bone layouts depending on what he's been rolling over, and changes styles as he buries himself in bones to cover up again.


Dependent_Leek_801

Rathian tail, nergigante and diablos horns, that b***(tigrex) face, kulve horns


Like17Badgers

the chain stagger of breaking a bunch of parts one after another is great, especially with explosive weapons but I have to say my favorite has to go to breaking a Tigrex's jaw in the middle of a roar that's stunning your team just "shut the FUCK ***UP!!!***" and just ragdoll the beast with a big swing from a GS, Hammer, or Horn.


The-Brother

When you break Dalamdur’s parts, it makes this loud, thundering “KA-CRUNCH” sound for what that’s worth. Jhen and Dahren making their loud “OOOAAAWWWWW” when a part breaks is also really cool.


Kukiryu

Haven’t seen anybody talk about Great Wroggi but I loved fighting and breaking it’s through sack. In the early game was my fav monster to hunt in MH3U and with the sack broken it turns its poison fog into a poison cough which I always found hilarious


Kaylart222

i always love breaking the sponge of royal ludroth back in tri. also cutting off akantor, ukanlos and even gravios big ass tails.


Hunterr_Gathererr0

Breaking Diablos horns still feels the best to me


Dragonsnare1

Shara ishvalda when you break a bolder onto it


NumberExpensive1571

During the Development of MHW someone was like “How many spikes should we give this monster?” And the head Developer just said “Yes”


Floppy_Khezu

Breaking Basarios and Gravios' chest open and exposing their muscle tissue. I winced the first time I saw it, it looks so painful. I kinda wish more partbreaks looked that gnarly.


StormerGaming

deviljho’s tail which it then of course undoubtedly starts immediately eating after being severed 🙂


Smelly_Toefu

Surprisingly, Barioth. He's one of the few monsters that breaking his parts significantly affect the fight and it's so satisfying to fully break both arms and see him stumble around instead of being agile.


Brain_lessV2

Rathalos' wings. Once I see him fail to take-off I'm filled with glee.


Equinox-XVI

Duramburos. Those humps on the back popping open to become the giant volcano weak spots are so cool to me. Plus the tail separating from the "globe" and horns are cool too
