one of the greatest moment is when a village khezu filtered a bloodborne streamer
The Khezu or Gigginox question is one I'll keep answering the same way.
Give me Khezu AND Gigginox in a game together. Give them a turf war and give each of them a new subspecies that shows off their differences more strongly while adding a new wrinkle to their respective fights.
What if they kiss mouth to mouth and tail to tail ❤️
@@PERSON_MALEwtf😊
Everyone always talks about Khezu's blindness leading to the absence of music but ngl I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention how its lack of sight also affected the hunter's abilities in 1st and 2nd gen. Since he can't "spot" you, your character doesn't receive the adrenaline boost they normally get when facing large monsters and can't perform the invincible superman dive. You effectively lose your "Get out of jail free"-card and it teaches you to be aware of the monster's moves as well as your own limitations. Barely anyone ever points that out.
It is something I legit forgot about
I really wish they kept this in the newer games. It added a level of uniqueness and difficulty to the fight.
@@HeavyWings Sad but understandable. 😅 Thank you for your contributions to the community!
I'm mostly confused because eyes don't hear.. what does his sight have to do with the music?
@@equious8413 Music in monster hunter only appears when a monster spots you.
Idk why but instead of get creeped out, i found khezu adorable and i want to pet it so much
You're not alone lad.
It's like the shambler from Quake. It's a horrifying bloody monster but for some reason we all think it's adorable
To be honest I thought Gigginox would have returned in sunbreak it would have been perfect seeing him in the citadel
He could have returned to Iceborne too. Alas :(
The citadel is Not the right Environment for the gigginox
@@drpepp. i just thought it would be cool seeing him in the frozen section of the map
i think they could have made Khezu better in rise, like if he was only ever outside the caves at night, or if he had more cave to work with to allow for his unique ceiling moves
That's kind of an issue Barioth has too.
@@HeavyWings with Barioth i wish they brought back his ambush mechanic from Tri, make him feel like a looming predetor on the ice, but i guess it would be seen as a less cool rip off of valstrax if they brought it back i guess
Hey, if someone broke into your house and started wacking you with a giant cartoon weapon, you’d scream too.
Oh so that's why he doesn't scream during rampages... since there he's breaking into our house
2:50 This made me remember how scary Tri was back when I was a kid, the dark caves having to be lit up by torches was a really nice feature that really added to the grittiness. I hope they try something like this again in a future game!
I'd like to see a turf war between Khezu and Gigginox. With how quick Gigginox can reproduce it wouldn't be surprising to see it invading other monsters territory and expanding
not having s when superman jumping was the reason red khezu became a wall i could never overcome in MHFU, that was an element of khezu fights that always terrified me
4:24 Also Fun Fact : When Gigginox has to change caves (in lore i precise), he'll transport its babies like this, such a cute way in my opinion
Not sure if this has been said already, but another cool addition with gigginox is that when he enrages his head becomes harder and his tail becomes a big weakpoint
Ohhh i really love Khezu. I remember fighting him in Monster Hunter 1, that u had to create a Vespoid armor piece to unlock him. He was really really hard on that game cause u had less mobility than now and his health pool was really large. I remember using Dung Bombs on the floor to distract Khezu, cause he's blind tho
frontier's zenith khezu one shots you by eating you 💀
So I've heard. Can't wait to fight him!
His thunder attacks leave you on the ground for like 10 secs and his roar makes you curl up on the ground
(All Zenith roars do that)
And he also has super Thunderblight that makes you DIE FROM A HEART ATTACK.
khezu the goat, carted a soulsborne speedrunner lmao
Lot of people mentioning that incident haha
I would love to see them have a turf war against each other, hopefully in later games
I think a turf war between the two would make me very uncomfortable haha
Turf war where they coil their necks around each other and try to pull back but end up yanking themselves together and crashing into a heap
Sounds like that would be a real...slugfest
You mean Rock Band performant? All those screams. 😅
That thumbnail gives me, "You got games on your phone?" type vibes
It would be so awesome a turf war between giginox and khezu
Khezu’s one of my favourites, not because it’s cool, or that it’s fight is fun or anything, but the fact that it forces you to respect it.
If you expect it to be like the rest of the monster gang, albeit on the slow side, it will remind you not to be too cocky by paralysing, stunning and thoroughly kicking your ass.
My favourite MH past-time is joining LR parties and observe them fighting Khezu. I’ll pretend to help but I’m just there to watch their first Khezu experience.
Addendum: I don’t expect anyone to cart 3 times to Khezu, really, he’s not difficult. But it sure is funny when it does happen.
A lot of earlier monsters are like that, Plesioth in particular is notable
Fun Fact: The Red Khezu is the original Khezu, and the white Khezu is the subspecies, but there’s less red Khezu, most likely because the white Khezu’s camouflage better in the snowy environment.
I came here to say this too as no one else was mentioning it 😂
Fun fact, “baby khezu” are considered a delicacy as long as they aren’t the ones eating you
I wish I didn’t know that
:|
Khezu is the one monster that DIRELY needs to change, and Capcom won't change it. Even the other old monsters like Diablos and Rathalos have gotten complete moveset overhauls, but Khezu is still doing its MH1 moveset, much to the annoyance of pretty much every blademaster. His entire moveset is basically just "Get off me! REEEE!" moves or "haha Imma scream again for the 15th time".
Capcom, PLEASE, bring back Giginox or rework Khezu so he's not the senile old man yelling at kids on his lawn anymore.
In fairness, Khezu is encountered near the early parts of the game. He doesn't need to change that much if he does his job, similar to the Bear trio.
@@HeavyWings If only his job wasn't just screaming and keeping people from hitting him
This video was fantastic! I loved the editing for this one, great job!
Keep this evolution videos coming! Easy watch every time you post a new one.
Thanks! Will do!
That conclusion segment with all the screaming was top notch, 10/10 video.
Also I had no idea that baleful also had meaningful part breaks. I like that, and I hope that he and his main species get into the next game instead of that boring white bastard.
I didn't know about the part break thing either but it was cool to discover. I really hope we see them again.
I was sad that Khezu wasn't in World. Good to see that he's in Rise though. Looking forward to hunting him again once it hits Game Pass.
Capcom must have a favor for that monster
More than the Gigginox
I wish there was a fight between the 2
But I'd like a Deviljho evolution, or Uragaan, or Duramboros
Even Agnaktor or Gobul
Watch this space for like, two of the ones you mentioned.
@@HeavyWings sorry, I'm just really hoping for some of the other monsters to return
I was hoping like Congalala, Blangonga, or Kecha to return in gen 5
But only Rajang does with 2 new apes
it is because Japenese audience is IMMENSELY FAN of that monster
@@bobisuncanny2760 Well if he's a fan favorite in Japan, why not give it a turf war? Some other fan favorites have turf wars, Mizutsune, Astalos, Ursine trio, and Zinogre
But not too many new ones
@@liothetitanhunter7959 Who would he fight ? Aknosom ? he's not a territorial monster, the only monster who i could see a Turf War happening with is : Gigginox, cuz they both live most of their lives in caves, but he's not in the game....
khezu looks like he's looks like he's taking a school photo in the thumbnail
Great video, and that thumbnail is a wonder!
I wanted to make a khezu video ever since the official account posted this picture of him
I don't give likes because they fill my favorite gallery, but that edit in 6:32 was really good.
Good job men 👏
Mood, my liked videos is exclusively used for music. Appreciate it though!
I prefer gigginox based on design alone.
I really can’t understand why they wouldn’t put Khezu and Gigginox in the same game.
They both fill similar niches. Same reason people blame Magma Almudron for Agnaktor not being in, although that's likely down to technical issues as well.
Heck yeah new video!
Been wanting to make this one for a very long time!
The thumbnail is beautiful lmao
I like Khezu and Giggonox about equally. I appreciate the niche they fill and hope Gigginox gets some time shine again. Gigginox weapons were also interesting in design and its armour sets, both high and G rank designs, would have been a good fit for Sunbreak.
Personally I do also hope in a future title we get a blind cave dwelling Fanged Wyvern or a Leviathan based on the Olm Salamander to add to the cave cast.
Viper Tobi Kadachi is fine on its own, but admittedly is the most dissapointing entry. After fighting Viper Tobi the first time I thought it maybe developed such potent toxins for a defensive reason. That there was maybe something worse in the Hoarfrost's caves. It have been an interesting twist, but it was just Viper Tobi there.
I can’t with the thumbnail 💀
I don't like Khezu but love Gigginox. Really wish Giggi would come back.
Another thing to watch out for when fighting Rise/Sunbreak Khezu is that the paralysis bolts can climb walls now (I learned that one the hard way)
All my homies love Khezu from Monster Hunter Stories. He's just a silly fella.
A silly little fella that's also a pretty strong companion
it should be noted that khezu's fireball swings in sunbreak can be done as a combo from his roar
Khezu’s theme is a banger
The best part is the theme, is just amazing!
Khezu is straightup Silent Hill monster design, not to mention the bodytype is pretty much that of gypceros (excluding the leech head-and-neck)
Gigginox feels more like it belongs to MH, and the eggsack ability is a very nice addition to the gameplay/ecology.
Khezu has my favorite theme in video games
The best thing went you fight khezu was the music that the best music ever in every monster hunter series even went you sleep you can still listening the khezu song ost that truly nightmare.
🎶🎶🎶
Y'know whats the real kicker for me with khezu?
I absolutely hated to fight this... Thing back old gen. But ever since that one guy quit the game because he failed against khezu i can't hate him anymore. (BTW from what I heard back then
The guy absolutely deserved it).
Khezu definitely is a love or hate monster. But I am still curious how this guy is more popular in Japan than most flagships.....
But one thing is for sure: he has the best theme in the series. By far. Always a Bop and always like to listen to it.
I believe the Japanese community find him cute.
Well he is cute in his own strange way
Yeah I guess you could say that.
He's a big dumb blind loveable idiot
Honestly Gigginox and especially Pale Gigginox we’re huge walls for me in 3U
Baleful was a massive pain for me lol
@@HeavyWings Oh baleful that’s what it is. I could remember lol
i loved fighting khezu with bow it was really easy and satisfying i did it in low, high and g rank and farm for pokke points with the wyvern sobs
Yeah ranged weapons only have to deal with like, one attack pretty much!
Remember last year some soul speedruner soul game got yeeted by khezu rise
Top 5 Khezu Lofi Type Beat to listen to in Monster Hunter
God I miss Gigginox
this is peak MH content fr
I recall reading something about hiw Red Khezu is actually the base species and that the white Khezu is the subspecies.
Something about how their skin turns white and that red is their natural color.
The thumbnail I cant😂😂😂😂😂
The very first monster I've ever hunted, the very first quest I took on MHF2, along the time my brother introduced me to this game, and HBG is the very first weapon I used. He will never be not horrifying to me, especially in G-rank
It Also has a pseudo Bloodbath cut Roar on Sunbreak
It can cut its roar so slightly to combo into an attack
I think you forgot one.
What about the khezu that 'heyzeus' play against. It look harder than normal khezu 🤣
His armor on is absolutely cursed.
The monster with most epic battle theme ever 👍
ah yes, my spirit animal
God I love khezu
the thumbnail reminds me of that staring fish meme.
Gigginox was one of the first monsters I ran into (in some 3rd gen Demo I believe) and I've had a soft spot for it ever since. Conversely I really dislike Khezu, it just looks so oddly chonky for what it is.
Especially in Rise! They made him quite chubby in this one
I love giginox!
I was so scared of khezu in unite that I would go up to that fallen log in its nest and just snipe it with a bow lmao
my favourite soundtrack is khezu 🔥
khezu has no theme, what blasphemy is this!?
and also, im very sad that gigginox has never returned. i love him, and definitely prefer him over khezu, i especially love his hunting horn, it looks so stylish and good
It's a running gag of sorts. In the 1st and 2nd gen games, a large monster's given theme (or just the area theme) would not play if it did not see you. Khezu is blind, and therefore he cannot "see" you. However, it does not need sight to know where you are...it relies on a keen sense of smell.
> The Evolution of Khezu
> Talks about Gigginox for 3 minutes...
i hope the darkness mechanic returns
I had only played rise so I can't say much but I do love khezu so I might like the other dude[that I forgot his name]. But imagine how those two will fight if they cross pass might be interesting to see. I would love to see it
That thumbnail is quite the image
True, but the best possible image I could use!
I like Khezu
I love hunting this dck head back on MH Freedom Unite 2 back on psp xD 2nd only to congalala
High rank is inofficially available for MH Tri though so he can be fought in that game.
Gigginox shuld be sunbreaks final boss
Gigginox is the first Monster I ever saw
It was a magazine
I prefer Khezu personally though
How did they manage to make Gigginox look like an actual leech dragon, but made Khezu a... well... god, what were they thinking with this creature?
Nice Thumbnail.
:D
My favourite monstie:)
The thumbnail: 👄
Does the Khezu have a retractable neck spine?
I’m kinda glad Gigginox is gone cuz it was a real pain to fight in portable 3rd, I really love the design of its equipments tho… Khezu’s fight is more enjoyable in my opinion. Really love the fight in Freedom Unite.
Really can't help but notice that genU its got some veiny areas glowing blue when using an electric field, which looks awesome, but it's not in rise. The F, capcom!
Funny thumbnail
People call him other names but me and my friend call him "leach man"
Khezu is best fought at range. Crag/sticky, cluster and fire element ammo works best against him
i think khezu doesnt feels the same like old generation anymore even in the first game
he is slow and easily killed as gunner...this doesnt help where in future generation...hunter become more flexible and versatile while khezu just add few attacks but remain his slowliness...but in older generation the fight feels more intense because no eye-mark? meaning? no superman jump
but perks is not panic run so easier stamina management). They need to bring back that vibe seriously...khezu is outdated monster that only viable in older generation where hunter is slow as well. He seriously need to be revamped
Zenith Khezu not included?
Actually the red is the regular version and the white which is an albino is the sub species.. Red is the natural color of Khezus.. Did you know know that the monster Khezu was inspired by the Falls Hydra?..
How does khezu know we’re there? Electrical fields?
why you dont talk about the zeniths versions of the monster they add alot to the monster lore and habilities
No music in the intro 😏
LIVE KHEZU REACTION:
: |
Yeah I think they should've added Gigginox in Rise instead of Khezu
Unfortunate thing about khezu is that he is product of low budget (I guess), Tigrex skeleton definitely works better, while giginox are trying to be different than khezu, glow in the dark is cool but when you are an ambush predator having it in otherwise dark cave is strange thing to have
The new ones so mcuh crepier the old one looks slightly more tough the skin looks thicker but the new one it’s veiny Thin skin
It looks so fragile like a baby that was born far to early
Personally i would prefer to fight khezu than gigginox... Khezu felt less scary and didn't need to pack much rss while his fight was simple like his design.
But i cant hunt giggi without full 10 antidote and if you dont count his minions can be annoying if you keep the egg, also while normal your weapon get bounce if you hit tail, in rage its the opposite.
I did fight baleful giggi (if i type right) quite recently and he is still hard cuz he paralyzes instead of just zap you.
But because of giggi difficulty i enjoy fighting him more and really avoid fighting him compared to khezu
Gigginox is probably my favourite monster in the series. It really is very creepy, looks like an actual monster.
Khezu looks like a pale, featherless chicken in comparison.
@@YusufKaan-ti7fc Khezu might be a better monster, I just think Gigginox is cooler. That's all. Doesn't mean Khezu sucks, I like that monster too, but I prefer Gigginox.
Ah yes the pp wyvern
