My favourite fight in the base game. No fancy elemental tricks, no gimmicks in the environment, no need to farm that weapon he’s weak to. Just a straight up slugfest with an angry hedgehog.
@@polterghast678 It's still pretty much a brute force fight. You're fighting the embodiment of destruction- he literally carves up the terrain with his attacks. ... It's fucking _awesome._
Teostra: I have a fiery aura that will make anything too close explode. Kusahala: I can create tornadoes and surround myself in razor winds that can repel almost any attack. Vaal Hazak: I can weaken creatures with a parasitic fungus that drains their very life force. Nergigante: I've got....THESE HANDS!
Best design in the MHW elder dragon department imo - where others spray some annoying powder, or block your will to live with gusts of wind, this chad of a monster just comes up and beats you to a pulp using nothing but his body and his 2 bare (and sometimes not so bare) hands. Absolutely my most favourite monster in the game.
@@debleb166 Kushala is legit so awful in WorldBorne, either you don't know how to headlock him, and the fight takes at least 15 minutes longer than it needs to because he's just going to waste your time. OR you know how yo headlock him, and it's just a boring 5 minutes of locking this bastard to death, and it's not even satisfying because Kushala is the easiest headlock chain in the game by far.
@@Slaking_ Eh, I don't think so. He could easily shake you off with its winds or one or two of his attacks. I won't say it's the easiest but it's the most major weakness for a close ranged weapons such as SnS and Dual Blades.
1:37 I have always loved this part of the song, it makes me feel strong and proud to hunt the fiercest of elder dragons, no need to fight it with weird tricks or anything but just enjoy it
I picked up World recently and just fought this guy for the first time. I kinda already knew a lot about him from Stories 2, so I knew to attack the spines when they're white. But I very quickly realized that is much easier said than done. I've fought a lot of different Elder Dragons, but it's a really unique experience fighting one that tries to literally punch you into the dirt. There is something refreshing about fighting a hangry porcupine whose weapon of choice is just its entire body.
One time Nergigante did the mega spikey slam while I was cornered with almost no health, and my vitality mantle recharged just before the slam happened so I swapped to it and used it just in time to soak the damage while this was playing.
First faint: Either Rathalos because of Rathian or Diablos because of the dumb charge First wall: Angie/ Diablos First (and only) 12 fails: Nergi (which caused me to fail HR Tobi like 3 times and one was a Deviljho throwing it onto me, killing both.( I was on my last cart))
So I may have broken Nergigante this morning. I was trying to fight a Lunastra when Nergigante visited and did Nergigante things. After luring the Lunastra away and making sure Nergigante was nowhere near me, I resumed the fight. For some reason, Nergigante was still agro’d from across the map because for the next minute the beginning of its theme played on loop. I can’t tell if it was hungry or if it just wanted attention.
Nergigante and Xenojiva were my favorite Elder dragons of base mhw. Legit Nergigante was the one fight in this game that felt hard but I couldnt get mad cause I was so terrified
1:36 the violins sound almost like an alarm, it's like the world itself is trying to tell you "DANGER DANGER YOU SHOULD NOT BE MESSING WITH THIS GUY GTFO WHILE YOU'RE STILL BREATHING"
Base nergigante is one of the best designed fights in mhw imo. There's no gimmicks, no monsters to third party you to death, it's just you and nergigante. All you need to win is your knowledge of the games mechanics and to do more damage than he does. Simple as that.
True. I am a newbie hunter myself, after I beat him in story, I tried to train with him and man that was a struggle. Then I realized after a few smacking he falls the quickest although when last I train solo (with so many fails mind you), I didn't broke any parts.
His weapon makes the other Elder dragon fights less difficult, but still challenging And grinding this big guy with his weapon is a bit easier than Kadachi Pillar that i used prior to getting Negral Reaper
My hunter and Nergigante are like the Gol D. Roger and Whitebeard of Monster Hunter. They don't fight each other for personal gain, hatred, or anything like that. They're rivals and live to fight each other.
You guys remember? When his spikes get darker, when he has all his spikes grown, and then goes into the air and one shot the hunter ? Nerggigante is badass !!
The first wall I've encountered in this game. His hitboxes and relentless aggression was too much for aggressive fighting style back then. Never found the likes of Teosta, Kushala and Vaal as hard as this guy.
The most iconic theme for me in the game. Every time I see an sos on him I jump in. It just makes me feel so powerful to smack him in the face with a great sword.
I don't think it's on purpose but I think this theme fits the fight perfectly. It's wild, stressful and you dont really know what's going on and then there's this one Powerful part at 0:16 kind of like his one shot attack.
@@nikoloquinones9121 could be but i dont want to overinterpret everything ande most likely the guys who did the music dont really know the gameplay. would be awesome if they did it with that in mind tho
@@ckay8145 of course they know the gameplay. Listen to any of the large monster area battle themes(maybe rotten vale or wild spire waste, as that’s where it shows the most), it’s clear that the music team was given the concept of the part where the theme plays so they can make the song fit well.

Me and my foe clashed for hours exchanging blows, my gear was worn down, my weapon needed repairs. I had damaged him enough to send him back to his lair, I followed him, set off explosives breaking his horns, he rushed me but I moved quickly slamming my axe into his stomach before slamming more into his head, breaking his jaw. He hit me with his tail, knocking me to the ground, I got up and was launched even further away from him, He fell asleep again. I attacked him again and again, blood was flying into the cracks in my helmet, spikes littered my body, making me bleed all over. I disengaged, drank the last of my potion, and stared him down, we locked eyes, he rushed me and I rushed him, my blade ripped through his body sending spikes flying, he stood for a moment, but fell. I got up stared at him until he breathed his death rattle. I stood victorious above him, but I bowed out of respect, for he had been a worthy foe, an amazing hunt truly a fantastic creature.
I insect glaive diving attack slayed it my first time as the brass hit and it was glorious, the whole fight I was able to give him the 5 ds of dodgeball and hop and zip attack his wings
Nergigante was Actually really easy and this theme didn't really stuck with me because of normal Nergigante Just not being that much of a threat to me personally, then ruiner Nergigante showed up before shara ishvalda and I have never been more scared of something in my life ever holy shit what a great fight, this theme really captures the feeling of an absolute unit going hand to hand against you

Once I had low health, no potions, no vitality mantle to save me, and a single dragon pod. Apparently, nergigante was in the same situation

Wow 4K Music?!, This tastes just as good as sniffing today's morning breakfast with my eyes.
Well how else are you gonna feel the music if it's not in 4K
Eating some nergigante theme today? Nice one.
I like how people calling it a Hedgehog. Also my first faint was landed by Nergigante lol
Same
My first faint was diablos, my first s
Fail was lunastra but my first battle was with nergi
He was the very first fight I strugled on tbh
My first faint was Pukei Pukei because I was very new. My first true wall was Anjanath. Nergigante was my first rival!
First faint: Either Rathalos because of Rathian or Diablos because of the dumb charge
First wall: Angie/ Diablos
First (and only) 12 fails: Nergi (which caused me to fail HR Tobi like 3 times and one was a Deviljho throwing it onto me, killing both.( I was on my last cart))
I love the menacing feel this song gives you.
It feels more chaotic in my opinion.
8 years of music and i still can't figure what in the world is this rithm. Complete chaos, just like nergigante itself and i love it
