I still think that one of the biggest pieces of missed potential Rise had was not including a special Lao rampage quest, allowing for it to still keep it's sieging that it's known for, while simultaneously giving the devs the opportunity to give it a well needed update.
Hard agree. Rampages and Wire Bugs would’ve been a perfect fit for some of the really big colossal monsters, Lao especially
Beating lao in mhgu rank g3 solo was one of my most memorable moments ever i screamed like a little girl as it took me 3 days to do it
It needs many attacks like:
•Feet stomp
•Tail swipe while standing
•Forward bite
•Claw swipes while standing
•Body slam to revert to 4 legged mode
•Hard foot stomp while standing
•Horn attack
•Fall onto either of its sides
•Full 360 tail swipe
And it should move quite a bit faster due to the attacks, making it stop for abit and make the castle longer due to him moving faster.
and a breath attack.
ever exhaled in Winter, and seen your own breath in the form of vapour? it's called "cold breath".
Lao Shan Lung's breath attack would look like that, and since he's the introduction to the Dragon element, the breath would inflict Dragonblight.
now, why a breath attack? because i truly want to like this monster, and what's a dragon without a breath attack? it'd add a danger to being on the ramparts, since he could blast you.
he should also have a different reason for attacking the fortress, too. running from Fatalis would explain why he couldn't be bothered attacking us, but we're here for a battle. changing the reason - perhaps the fortress had a large supply of iron? Lao Shan Lung *eats* iron, like Teo and Gog eat gunpowder.
and i'dlike him to be a tad smarter. something along the lines of "oh, so it's the hunter that are shooting me. if i kill the hunters, then i won't have pointy sticks (Ballista Ammo) and metal stones (Cannon Balls) shot at me; and they're really annoying!"
For the Main series Lao was definitely at its peak in GU! for me the hunt is a bit of a slog and its always a "here we go again" whenever someone posts it xD but overall i think the lore for the monster and the look of it is really cool! If he was to be brought back I hope they give him a few more added moves or something! Or make it like BOTW and you just see him roaming around in Wilds and attack him here and there! xD I have yet to experience the monster in Frontier tho! AMAZING VIDEO BUD
That's due to them incorporating a lot of 4U's Gogmazios and Battlequarters elements.
Nice video!
I remember fighting this guy in MHGen just at the end of last year both solo and with a friend and it becomes really obvious that this guy is meant for MP as you said cuz it was actually not mindnumbingly boring with a friend. At the very least shen gaoren fights back somewhat, though the constant tremors were....rage inducing.
Hope the super large monster get siege-ified or honestly just more dynamic in the future. Would love to fight them and not have it feel like attacking a rock that is slowling rolling in front of you. And by gog we need gogmazios back
Peak Ging, your videos warm my heart more than a Rathalos fireball would!
Keep on keeping on!
I absolutely love his design and concept, I remember is freedom unite me and my friend lost our shit when we killed him for the first time, yeah that fight is bad but if fatalis proves anything is that they can give monsters when hell of a make over, if love to see him bigger, to look like he could go toe to toe with a dalamadur, and fight wise CR-Volcanic did a great video and what can be done to make the fight better, I hope we see him in wilds
For epic scale fights, CAPCOM should:
A) Let the hunters fight on the backs of other monsters.
B) Give us giant mechanized versions of our weaponry & movement tools
So when the main problem of Lao in GU is that you have too many things to use against it and keep track of, there is an easy solution now.
First of all, since World, the health of a monster is now scaled depending on the amount of players in the quest, so this should already help a lot.
Also in World and Rise (and if i remember once in 4U), we had NPCs help us out against a monster siege.
And not only that, but in Sunbreak we could use other NPC hunters to join us on any quest.
So even if you dont have anyone to play with, NPCs and hp scaling are the solution.
Armor and weapons I adore and to be honest Lao is more of a defender monster rather than a full on fight against a rampaging monster. So I can give him a pass on being a siege monster
I see you Plesioth, peeking from a distance
9:52 I don't know, they seem like pretty average sized dragonators to me-
Considering that Freedom Unite was my first game in the franchise, Lao-Shan Lung is just a nostalgic elder dragon. I couldn't kill it, but at least I was able to repel it more than anything. Sadly, it's pretty much forgotten and now it seems almost like it'd be similar to Zorah Magdaros. It'd be nice to see it return, but like a lot of other monsters, it'd need some changes if anything.
"lao is the worst monster"
Khezu, tigrex, kushala, plesioth and zorah: are you challenging us?
drive by abuse with the track cannon never gets old.
Yes, yes it was that bad.
No ur wrong completely
@@ultrainstinct7855What if he’s right though.
@@ultrainstinct7855just as bad as zorah magdaros
@@ultrainstinct7855 Nope it definitely was
You're wrong, that the opposite version of you would still be wrong
Beating lao shanlung in Mhfu when I was 12 was my biggest accomplishment❤
I could not beat Lao solo my first time on MHGU. It was the only quest in the game my first time I HAD to ask for help from the online community. Thankfully the person I went with helped by distracting Lao while I manned the ballistae with my Artillery Expert armor. It was super easy with 2 people, so I was frustrated I couldn't do it solo.
if MH Wilds (under the assumption it takes place in the New World, which comes with another set of hopes but that's not why i'm here) is actually bringing back siege monsters and Lao Shan Lung is among them, then let me pitch some changes for him.
first thing's first, location and reason of attack.
how could a wooden barrier stop a *Zorah?* beats me, should have been destroyed by just walking through it, let alone incinerating it.
the place Lao Shan Lung would be attacking is a fortress... a STONE fortress. let me give it some lore: through logic mixed with nostalgia, that fortress would be built in a mountain range. why? the mountain range has *TONS* of minerals and ores - particularly, iron - and there's a mine that digs them out.
do you remember that Gogmazios and Teostra eat gunpowder? that's why the former invaded the Battlequarters.
Lao Shan Lung? he eats minerals and ores, and that fortress holds LOTS of them. that's why he'd attack the fortress: food.
and we're tasked with protecting the supplies, for they'll be used in making cannons, cannon balls, ballista ammo and a couple more Dragonators plus a second Dragonrazer; which will come into play against other dragons (currently, the Dragonrazer is only in Seliana, and the only Dragonators the Commission have are on a ship and in an arena).
in terms of attacks, he'd keep the ones he already has, but he'd get a few more: he'd stomp the ground and slam his hands, bite hunters that are close enough (even on the ramparts), swing his tail, using his horn to stab unlucky hunters (call it his pin attack, if you will), and a weapon he never had, but should get: a breath attack.
ever breathed out during Winter, and saw your breath in the form of vapour? it's called "cold breath"; that's what his breath attack would look like. whether on all fours or standing, whether you'd be on the ground or on the fort's ramparts, he'd blast you with it.
and since Lao Shan Lung is one of the first monsters that grants you access to the Dragon element, the breath would inflict Dragonblight.
far-fetched? strange? let me remind you that Fatalis' mere *bite* inflicts the status, and so does Kushala Daora's stomp in SunRise.
another reason for the breath attack is because *i want to TRULY like this monster.* without a breath attack... i can't.
From experience between Lao Shan and Magna is how long it takes to clear the quest.
Cause Lao Shan you have no choice but to wait making it a confirm 30mins run minimum while Magna's can be sped up if you do enough damage which can end in 15mins and silght more depending
I really liked this one back then cause it was pretty chill and you got pretty decent gear from it. Thats probably like 15 years ago thou so my memory is fuzzy about it.
i love me some peakginge
If the Lao fight had damage numbers everyone would love him (source: everyone loves to spend hours at the training posts in gen 5 games).
blud literally just taking a stroll
MHGU Lao is probably one of the few siege fights I don't hate. It's not a good fight, but it doesn't make me auto pilot like others do.
I still have nightmares, why tf did they made him the urgent to G3 in G
Recently played Freedom and did most of the Village quest (missing like 2 of them) then saw the rooster of monster I haven't fought yet and was like, yeah I can live without fighting gen 1 Lao shan lung lmak and moved onto Freedom Unite
I don't know why but my friend made me do Lao Shan Lung in Generations soooo many times and it didnt dawn on me how boring this fight was honestly, I think I was just having fun with my friend but thinking of doing a seige where the monster barely does anything while it moves like a snail is really not that good 😭
He has points for being cool tho idk
Give me dalamadur or give me death
Tbf lao shan was capcoms first go at big siege monsters.
Tho i loved his gear in mhfu and thought ashen lao+ crimson fata dual swords was dope as shit, the fight for g rank lao always at minimum took me ages to fight.
Please tell me, We all need more Snake wyvern
Id love to fight a reworked version of this guy
I fought him for the first time in gu a few days ago and got a mantle after killing it
I honestly didn't mind.
I wanna fight the Monksnail keep the baby version as pet ala Master Hojo of Kamura with Tetsucabra toadling
Or new Buddy types! Snails as buddies?😂
safi and dalamadur dont get cannons. kinda sad as traditionally you get siege weapons for siege monsters. and caedus
People who say it was the worst clearly don't remember shen gaoren.
I cant really fault him,since litterally every monster who came from previous gens into the 5th is better then its old version,until he gets that, hes easliy the worst seige
I fought him in frontier. And yes, he is that bad.
Still blows kirin out of the water
Lao is a great monster imo even if his fight is mostly lame.
Not really he used to be bad back in his first appearance which still was cool for the time due to technical limitations but 4th gen kinda did him justice "not that he suddenly became a top 10 or anything but he wasn't a slog"
And no he is not the worst monster in the series, that title goes to bulldrom with no competition
At least it's better than Zora Magdaros
better than zorah but thats not saying much
first
Fuk. I was not.
Yes, it was horrible 😰
