Cephadrome is just worse plesioth and has gotten away with it for too long, rise up cephadrome haters
Nah the green plesioth was a super troll.
Amen brother
cephadrome in gen2 is more annoying to deal with than ples. can't even fight the thing without burning my stock of sonic bombs. plesi on the other hand is just waiting for the water gun move then get close charge the GS(im a great sword user) dodge roll behind, charge again rinse and repeat. or just use a heavy bowgun with auto reload if u wanna cheese the f*ckin b*tch. green plesi, is just the same but a little faster.
Fuck Cephadrome, all my homies hate Cephadrome
Personally, while I don't like Cephadrome, Plesioth is 50 times worse. Depending on your weapon, you can hit Cephadrome in the sand with certain attacks, like the Hammer's downwards slam and the Long Swords downwards slice and roundhouse slash. Plesioth can only be hit by certain ammo from Gunner Weapons when in the water.
Not going to lie, I really want to see Plesioth make a return for new Gen. If Yian Garuga of all things can not only be saved but turned into one of the best fights in Iceborne, then Plesioth can absolutely be salvaged too.
They mostly did... with jyuratodus. It has most of its moves, sans water jet, as well as its own actual gimmick of mud, even if it was lifted from barroth. It's not the greatest fight, but it is the best piscine wyvern fight, outside of beotodus, if you are so inclined.
Hopefully he'll return in gen 6 as gen 5 is ending with the title 5 update
@@jasonkeith2832 Beotodus is the only fun piscine wyvern hunt so far IMO.
another Co op game without any meaningful open-world multiplayer elements. Those companies that make Monster Hunter or Final fantasy really need to watch the kings avatar animation and get some inspiration on how to make a complete games
@Dualities Maybe it's just me, but a game that is just as fun to play solo as it is in multiplayer is what a co-op game should be. Besides, Monster Hunter is NOT an open world game and hopefully never will be. Leave the big empty maps with nothing to do for Ubisoft games.
Yes, Plesioth was that bad. I still have nightmares about the Dual Green Plesioth quest in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
Sleep dust trolling with hipchecks
The Quest in the jungle you mean? That beach in Area 2/3 (don't remember which one) was smaller than the plesioth itself.
Yeah i even still died even when i use lance, granted i am not expert at it, but it's still Stupid
he isnt hard at all, yall just dont want to learn how to use bow guns.
Hard if you're Swordsman but easier if you're Gunner especially if already had Pink Parasol or Black Parasol bow gun
I actually really love Plesioth's design, it really stands out from the other monsters in the roster whenever he shows up: FISH WITH LEGS, goofy as it may be, you can't deny it's pretty iconic
It also looks a lot like the the African Butterfly Fish (Pantodon buchholzi), a freshwater fish that eats surface dwelling or low flying prey and can glide.
@@robertmacfergus9288 that's fascinating!
its iconic because everyone shits on how stupid he looks
He's also the most vibrant of the mainline picsines. Aside from beo, the main colors of the others tend to consist of dull greys and browns.
My only gripe is how tall the thing is. Other than that, I agree.
Honestly would love to see it comeback with tighter hitboxes but still meme with the hip check hitting way further then it should. Could be with wind pressure or tremor if the damage part of the attack doesn't hit you.
They did add wind pressure in Gen and GenU.
Funnily enough, the hip check rarely went further than it should. It usually just hit behind the attack, which messed up a lot of hunters trying to reposition. Though that's something a lot of monsters had with their charge attacks. If you stood underneath a Rath's tail for example you would get hit by their running attack. The tail whip was much worse on Plesioth.
@@kingofflames738 oh definitely specially with a really tall Plesioth
@@kingofflames738 agree, but rather than plesioth, its more like pre gen 3 tail whip was very annoying

Agreed as long as they don't make it stay in the water 90% of the fight. How many times I would nearly time out on ples because it wouldn't be hittable most of the quest was pain
Lets be real tho despite all that he still became one of the most memorable monsters in the series
because of that, not despite.
8:26 I actually love his design. Especially looking at it his brimming rainbow pattern like fishscales. He would look so much better to in new gen monster hunter.
I love everything about the fish wyverns in MH. They look "believeable" in their designs. Sadly there are not too many monster in this category.
Yeah back then when I play and saw plesioth as fish wyvern/piscine wyvern I didn't actually think it would *actually* look like a fish, like literally you had dinosaurs, dragon and then there's this fish. it certainly subvert my expectation in many ways
except plesioth

Thats the thing tho, most seem "believable"?
His hitboxes are janky but his AI is super easy to manipulate in mh1. All you have to do is stand a few feet in front of him and slightly to his left. If you positioned yourself correctly he will only spam the water beam which is both easy to avoid and gives you a nice opening afterwards. This will also work for cephadrome's sand breath.
Also in at least freedom 2/unite, you can sorta cheese plessy with LS. You almost stand right on the toes of his left foot. None of his attacks will reach you except for the hipcheck, but you can actually roll forward through it quite easily. Just don't get too greedy and anticipate the attack. This can work for green plessy as well but it's increased speed makes it much more difficult imo
I played every generations and i never thought Plesioth was THAT bad, most monsters weren't really varied in their moveset so i couldn't hate him for this, as well as his hitboxes, he felt different with the same moveset, for me his worst side was the AI doing really dumb things sometimes
Though to be fair gen 3 made his fight bearable and dare i say even good, i won't mind seeing him again with the World treatment
In freedom unite I will definitely say he was EXTREMELY FUCKING ANNOYING
I'd take him over Jyratodus any day of the week cause at least he is a fun fight and has decent weapons/armor.
Using melee was a cancerous fight in FU but using ranged weapons made it too easy, my only real complain would be the stupid AI making it swim, return to land, then go to swim 2 minutes later
Love the in-depth look at the monster just wanted to make a few corrections for you.
1. In the first and second games, the Plesioth also appears in the Jungle map swimming the river back and forth.
2. It's always had a sleep element in its attacks. In the video where you see it soaring from 1 side of the water to the other, you would fall asleep if you were to be hit by that.
Really been enjoying ya vids man, appreciate all the work you put in! keep it up my man
In the original dessert in Gens 1 and 2 it will also go to Area 7, which is probably where it went when it would just disappear for you.
They managed to make Lavasioth un-painful, and Yian Garuga even fun, to fight. I trust Capcom to make Plesioth a good fight too when he inevitably returns one day.
For real though, the worst monster is imo currently a tossup between Lao Shan-Lung and Cephadrome. Both are boring as hell, both can be extremely aggravating. Lao Shanis just a moving wall you hit for 40 minutes while Cephadrome is just overall the most superfluous and forgettable monster.
At least Lao looks cool and is a novelty the first time around
Really good time for this upload because I actually just finished Monster Hunter 1 on Friday. For me the combat of the fight wasnt bad but it going in and out of the water was a nightmare, I never wanna do that again genuinely
Wait, less than 5k subs?! That video was fantastic, keep it up!
The Plesioth was much easier to hunt in Monster Hunter Tri and 3 Ultimate since you can go into the water to fight him
I miss Plessy. Such a bittersweet experience fighting it. It forces me to switch and learn to use the lance which makes the fight so so much easier considering you can tank the hip check hop back and poke the leg till it falls and seeing Plessy fall from the poke is so satisfying. And I love the Knight looking armor you can make from Plesioth.
One of the few monhun RUclipsrs I actually like.
Rage Gaming and Oceaniz are a bit too heavy handed on lore that doesn't matter.
This guy is cheerful and to the point with no long winded meaningless dribble.
I only like Ragegaming because of Cotton
@@yes3802 the third guy is my favorite person among them. the blue one, hollow. mostly because he's a Soulslike enjoyer long before the other two followed.
Cotton is ok.
Josh I liked at first until I started noticing he's fake about certain topics.
Ragegaming was an amazing channel but it only got worse over time with Rage and the pink guy. Hollow on the other hand has a voice that i can listen to without getting annoyed like iam listening to the other two.
@@stephenjohn2131 yeah I tried to be nice but both Josh and Cotton have gotten kinda... Not so good.
Hollow is the only reason I'm still subscribed in truth. The red and pink one's are overplaying it. Blue one supremacy.
The Zenith Plesioth lives in my nightmares.
You could catch a Plesioth on the Felyne Island minigame in MH4.
the idea of bait monster out of the water with fishing bait is a cool concept sadly the dev don't fully use it
That tail hit box always got me because of how wide it was.
I think it should get a rare speices that it distorts lights so you think it didn't hit you, but does anyway.
Great to see more Aussie MonHun creators! Especially those speaking about Plesi hahaha
In fact the worst thing about Plesioth : it's that it has an actual great design ! While Lagiacrus is a sea Crocodile, Plesioth is a river Shark. From an ecology point, he's cool. Thanks to its design which is incredible, i mean, it's imposible to mix 2 badass animals like a dragon and a shark, and not saying this is sick. So yea the only real issue and wasted potential with Plesioth is its fight. And yea, no surprise, it's excruciatingly overwhelming. Since the beginning, Plesioth always felt off because, he had the exact same moves as Gravios but with less weight. Which is very weird because he has hitboxes which transcend multiverses, but unlike Gravios, it doesn't look like it belongs to him. As a freaking agile Shark-Dragon, he should have quick and erratic movements and attack like but not really (there's only the knock-over animation) In this regard, Cephadrome and Lavasioth fights look far more "fishy". At least not until 3U, where i presume, most OG's were mindblown by this HUGE STEP UP for Plesioth. And this is pretty much the last true update plesioth had. And it was kinda great. Of course the fight was still painful, but at least it felt like i was fighting a fish with sicks moves underwater. This is very sad to say, but it was the only time, since the beginning of the franchise, when i could say : "WoW he's stylish" (underwater only ) rather than "WoW he stinks" (most of the time). So i must say, if Capcom succeeded at reworking and making FREAKING YIAN GARUGA and Rajang : *FUN* to fight in Iceborne. Then i have hope for 6th Gen Plesioth !!!!
Sleep dust trolling with hipcheck
I agree with this but I would like to mention its visual design also seems heavily inspired by the African Butterfly Fish (Pantodon buchholzi) especially with the wings.
Some Monsters only work with under water, so i doubt He will be any good in Gen 6
Plesioth has a cool design
The attack patterns are not a problem
It isn't hard to fight
But god damn i hate that it spends so much time in the water
When it jumps out of the water it slides away from you, and by the time you run for it this damn thing decides to run and jump back in the water
I hate that, i even use range weapons to attack when it's in the water but most part of the time that just ended with Plesioth diying in the water and with no way to carve it
Yes it was, it is and always will be bad
Specially that Zenith Plesioth in Frontier Z that can traps you in water and literally drown you
You can throw sonics at him before he jumps in the water and he will stop and continue the fight on land.
He also lowers his fin when near death, so you have an indication of when you should stop attacking him in the water.
I can't believe this fish still filters people to this very day.
Hoy zenith is great
It is like the only zenith that doesn't suck
he was also in the jungle. one of the best monsters ever. I hope they can make an improved version for MH6, that is actually cool and fun to fight, maybe same with Cephalos and Cephadrome. Especially if they bring back underwater.
Whenever you fall down the stairs, it's just Plesioth hip checking you from three continents away
Getting hip checked by mini crown emerald plesi into giant crown plesi still gives me nightmares...
Cuando le dabas el último golpe justo en la animación de entrar en el agua se bugueaba, escuchabas el grito de muerte y el juego demoraba en registrar que pasaba, finalmente aparecía su cadáver flotando en el agua, por lo que perdidas el loot
You also forget the bit where nearly every piscine wyvern writhes against the floor with the fury of 1000 chihuahua's on meth when knocked down until they upright themselves.
The hunters great sword had me confuse for a second i thought it was a longsword
I always viewed Plesioth as the lesson of that you gotta pick your weapons based on yhe flight. With a gunner set he was basically a breeze. The swimming problem was solved by sticky ammo acting as sonic bomb. And the hip check was not a concern of you stay afar
7:21 i cant remember if it had the sleep bite, but plesioth did have the ability to cause sleep in the second gen with his fly out of the water if you stood underneath it, so there is a tiny bit of a reason for it.
Select number of plesioth Weapons were also sleep attribute instead of water, so likely intended to have sleep venom of sorts.
I'm actually a fan of plesioth's design. The big fins and the wings make me think a bit of a lionfish. I also like the double row of shark teeth. Plus he's just RIDICULOUSLY huge. He left an impression on me back in og Monster Hunter, for better and for worse. But mostly for better. I'd love to see plesioth come back in a future game. Fix the hitboxes, axe or tweak the annoying AI quirks (or just bring underwater combat back capcom, you cowards), spice up the moveset a bit and bam. Good mid-tier monster. Piscine wyverns are in dire need of some love.
Looking back I'm still amazed I defeated all the G rank plesioth quest. I must have drained my sanity hard back then
Plesioth to me isn't an annoying or a bad monster, but I can understand how it can be perceived that way and it's also maybe due to me being a bow main.
It is the one monster I will say to just use ranged weapons exclusively against it except for in 3U.
The majority of people who really dislike/hate Plesioth are nearly all Melee weapons mains and somehow it seems like a large portion of them always forget to bring frogs and Sonic Bombs.
In all the compilation videos about Plesioth I have seen and of playthroughs by newer fans visiting the older games I have watched they nearly always go with a melee weapon and don't bring sonic bombs.
The only annoying thing about Plesioth to me is killing while it is still in the water in the Gen 1, 2 games and in Generations.
Depends on the melee too. Most people i know who main lance and GS tend to not have as much of a problem with him, probably because their swings are tall enough to tap plesi's stomach and they can guard the more annoying attacks
Nah, I don't recommend sonic bombs for newer players, it instantly enrages Plesioth, and it's a rather heavy hitter especially early game
Short answer: No, Long answer: In the first game his hit boxes were a little too big, but it was the internet and memes that turned him into the most hated monster in MH. in Tri ultimate I found his hit box was a little more forgiving and in MH stories 2 The Dev's even poke fun at his "insane Hipcheck" meme. overall I'd take him over Jyratodus 1000x a week and in triplicate on leapyears.
Soloing Double Green Plesioth in Old Jungle has been my PTSD since 2012.
You can barely see what's going on with all the vines, and the water beams feel like they're coming from nowhere.
Interesting to see the changes to Plesioth over the years. My only experience with it is from GU, as I'm newer to the series and haven't played (nor do I really intend to play) the older games. Rise and GU only so far, though I'm eagerly awaiting MH6.
However, I absolutely hated my times fighting the big dumb fish (SwAx and LS user in GU). While its hitboxes are better in GU than they are in older games from footage I've seen, they're still really bad. Because it's so damn tall, you can really only attack its legs with most melee weapons, sometimes getting a hit in other zones. Yes, there are attacks that will reach its head or tail, but the stupid thing moves around so much they can be very inaccurate. On top of that, a bunch of its attacks turn its entire body into a hitbox, sending you flying. The sleep bite is ridiculous and unnecessary. While it stays out of the water longer than older games, it will still dive back in basically whenever it wants, and zone changes with it were just exercises in frustration.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I like fighting Jyuratodus more. Overall, IMO, Piscine Wyverns are far and away the worst monster type in every incarnation.
You should try him in 3U one day
Oh dear I recommend playing freedom unite (its actually a lovely game) but plesioth is not so lovely being one of the urgent quests. FUCK HIM
That's on you, hunter arts meant you could get creative against it. Aerial style made height a non issue. IG is perfect against tall monsters. Have a bigger roster of weapons.
They really need to give us underwater combat back. With Tri being my first MH Game, I loved with swimming, even with all its jank. There was nothing more satisfying than fighting Lagiacrus or Gobul, and following it back into the water to continue giving it a colonoscopy with my hammer.
It needs to be refined and brought back, not scrapped entirely.
he puts you to sleep in freedon unite aswell. When he flies out of the water and hits you
They need to bring back plessy, but make the hipcheck hitbox even jankier
Plesioth could actually put you to sleep in the older gens too, but it was only with a single attack when it would "fly" low to the ground after leaving the water, kinda like the Cephadrome attack that paralizes you.
So the sleep was always there, they just gave it to an attack that can actually hit in its 4th gen version :p
Plesioth is just so stupidly god like powerful that when he hip checks you he creates so much power with it that the wind is whats actually hitting you
Plesioth in Tri was largely the same on land. In water it was tuned to actually fight there. But the biggest reason that people were fine with that was because we could actually chase the bastard into the water. It's one of those fights where I try very hard to kill it as fast as possible and pray I don't need to farm materials from it.
The fact that the things tail hit you when it was literally like 5 feet above you is crazy. If i ever find myself complaining about hitboxes i will say "at least it isnt that damn fish.."
He is my fav of the classics outside of green plesioth. Yes I fought it in freedom 1. In G rank lol. I loved it
I loved plesioth design tbh and the scuff in the fight was just part of it. It's not like there weren't other monsters with broken hitboxes (looking at you Tigrex and LSL)
How to not feel pain against Plesioth
1: Use bow(Pierce bow are fine, Scatter is good)
2: Prepare some status coating and/or Bombs
3: Run circle around it(preferably on your right)
One of the biggest issues with Plesioth in the early games was it's size, Plesioth was tall as hell and the only way you could deal meaningful damage was to hit it's tiny little stick legs, the great sword couldn't even hit Plesioth anywhere else but it's legs. This being the early generations you had to buy your animations a nice ring and plan a big wedding because you were committed to every attack for life so you'd attack Plesioth's legs then Plesioth would pretty much every single time hit you with a hip check or tail spin unless you managed to it and asking someone to a monster like 100 times in a 20 minute fight was an insane tall ask. Plesioth's damage was also insane so it's not like you could tank it. Because you had to play so careful and slow against Plesioth not committing to anything made the fight a lot longer and more annoying.
If you were playing Lance Plesioth was a bit better because you could alternate stabs and shield which would make Plesioth still annoying but less frustrating. Some people who dedicated themselves to learning Plesioth did find out an AI manipulation trick that would pretty much lock Plesioth into using it's Water Beam attack on repeat with some clever player movement allowing you to just wail on Plesioth's weak little head and not deal with his most annoying moves. When they finally shrunk Plesioth in Generations he became a ton more bearable being able to actually hit his meaty parts and position better against his janky attacks but also he became sort of mid, even though they like tripled his movepool he is just kinda boring.
Using Pierce Light Bow Guns vs Plesioth and Green Plesioth in 3 Ultimate were some of the most fun I ever had against these monsters, a duel between snipers and sweet sweet revenge! Heh heh
Also, both of these make a cameo in 4 and 4U where you can make their gear just by fishing them, not hunt required (especially since their not available, giving a little more focus to Cephadrome).
Honestly hope this makes an apperance in Wilds, with Hyperspace Tackle added to its arsenal 😂
I originally thought this didn’t sound that bad, and then I remembered waiting for tempered azure rathalos to land and I understand now why it being in the water is considered that bad.
Nothing like cheesing the plesioth with a thunder bow for 30 minutes when u were 12
A little bit off topic but in MH. Capcom should introduce new RANGE weapons, one being a "Monster Breath", being a cannon(slow move) that could shoot rocks and bombs, while its special would be an elemental "breath" being 3 types: beam, thrower and ball. In this case a "Monster Breath" made of Plesioth would have its special move a Water Beam. Rathalos would be a FireBall. Teostra would be a Flamethrower.
I always feel like a fish out of the water with this topic. I actually do/did like Plesi alot!
Played Freedom Unite back in the day ^^
In MHFU there was a quest with two Plesioth, i never accomplished this Quest because the time ran out, it was such a pain the ars and my sonic bombs didnt work at all.
There's a palico mini game in MH4U where you can capture a Plesioth.
I actually really like the Plesioth visually. No other Monster has huge fins like it. It's like meeting an old Rival. The fact that he was THAT BAD made him memorable in his own right. So having a fixed version like Gen 3 would be really nice with current tech. He has nostalgia value.
As someone who plays GU, he found a whole new way to annoy me besides the hypserpace hip checks and sphere of pain tail spin. There was a Prowler quest I did in Misty Peaks. The goal was to catch and deliver 3 silver fish. It turns out that when he's in the zone, you can't actually fish because Prowlers just throw a frog in the water regardless of whether or not he's in the water. This meant I spent an unnecessary amount of time firing bounce bombs into his underside trying to drive him off instead of fishing. 40 minutes into the hunt I've only got 1 fish. I get lucky and 2 of them spawn in my fishing spot. All I have to do is catch them and I'm done, and guess who shows up to try to run down the clock? Luckily I did win, but man that was nerve wracking.
I do have to ask, what's with all the hate for Lavasioth? Plesioth and Cephadrome are absolutely terrible monsters, but Lavasioth seems like a perfectly acceptable fight. His Whack-a-Mole moves are fairly interesting, and he actually keeps his head low enough to hit most of the time.
I swear it took me 10 MEGA POTIONS 10 POTIONS 3 LIFE POWDER 10 HERBAL MEDICINE AND TWO MAX POTIONS AND EVEN 10 HERBS I GATHERED AROUND WHILE FIGHTING JUST FOR THE REGULAR ONE,it was hell to kill the green version
Still can't believe they made his Hyperspace Tackle canon in Monster Hunter Stories
One of the reasons why Stories is an incredible game, especially for the old fans, and Capcom should have updated it more.
I heard the name plesioth and got thrown into a wall by a hip check I thought I dodged years ago
I was so upset that you can't get the angry fish with legs and wings as a mostie partner in stories 2
I just hope in the next MH mainline series, underwater combat are back
And plesiboy are back as invading monster for underwater area just to troll hunter lmao
This made me realize. I've always been a hammer main since the olden days. Stopped playing rise because they nerfed strength hammer to the ground.
Ah. I forgot what true rage felt like
Plesioth sometime forgot you exist if it's going into water too long.
Yes, it was, end of the conversation.
Good video man.
Hyperspace tackle is a great little reference to the most hated hip check in the franchise. I think it's just cause he had a weirdly high stance compared toother wyverns and it made him really janky and hasv weird hit boxes cause it's several feet higher than someone like Rathalos. Why he needed those long legs, I do not know. But I feel like Jyratodus was meant to be sort of a redo of Plesi.... but he's boring too. Even with the mid skin mechanic, and creating mud terrain.
The impression always stuck with me because I skipped 3rd sorta and 4th gen. Only play P3rd. But I think I would like to old monsters to return
I'd love to see it come back but still with the universe smashing hitboxes of dem hips hahha
What would you rather fight: hardest difficulty rajain, deviljoe, and bazlegose while fighting then all at the same time
OR!
Gen 1 Plesioth
plesioth is my first road block when i was kid , i remember showing off to my sister who dont even care about it that i beat this thing
honestly i did notice his awful hitboxes but i never bother with it as a kid and only few years ago after i drop MHFU i noticed that
plesioth is actually trouble for everyone hahaha
You failed to mention the best part
The hip check move in 3U and GU had fixed hit boxes but also had a wind pressure that would hit in a considerable range on its side as a sort of a joke of the original hitboxes
To put it simply the original hitbox became a wind pressure attack while the damaging hitbox was made fair
if you read the books in the hunter's room it teaches you to fish it with frog
Honestly I think the worst incarnation of Plesioth was Green Plesioth from Freedom Unite. I have vivid memories of having to fight a giant monster that attacked fast, had a ton of HP, and I had to go between waiting 3 minutes for it to get out of the drink when I ran out of sonic bombs only to have to fight it in the volume of an actual aquarium. It doesn't help that one of all TWO zones he appeared in on the island was the one with all the bamboo, which combined with the heavy rain, its green color and the generally c*cked camera controls of a PSP game made him a very literal headache to try and hunt. The worst hunt in the entire game I think, right behind FU Tigrex. And Tigrex is my favorite monster! XD
My first encounter with Plesioth was in freedom unite and i don't know why, my intuition told me to switch to a ranged weapon without knowing anything about it. Beat it years later and never experienced its bullshit as i stayed safely away. Didn't learn about the bullshit until years later.
The worst thing about Plesioth is that the armour set SUCKED. At least if it was that boring, hard, long and frustrating to kill but the armour set slapped, it would be worth it. But it wasn't even worth it 😭
I remember playing monster hunter freedom unite(the best monster hunter game btw) for the first time and raged because of plesioth's behavior like it's so infuriating😂
the hardest info to find evr about mh is where to get frogs
Well, coming from a World player that went back and spent 150+ hours on MHFU on the psp, at fr at I found Plesioth rather annoying(like most monsters in that game), with it's weird hotboxes and just waiting for it to jump out of the water
Initiall I was using Lsword to fight Pleaioth, got a few wins and that's that. I'd quit half way through the hunts a few times simply out of frustration from it.
Afterwards I had to farm it for some materials, so I went looking for different weapons to deal with it. Lo' and behold, the hammer was great against it.
It also helps that by that point of time, I could dodge through it's hipcheck most of the times.
I also learned from experience that the Plesioth being so big, if u stand below it when it spins, it's AI is force to hipcheck in order to hit u, so with that in mind I can make long openings for bashing it's feet.
Overall I think Plesioth fight isn't too bad after a few hunts, heck I'd say it's one of the easier monsters with how manipulatable the AI is with positioning. Really the only grit I have with it is how long I have to wait for it to jump out of water
The hip check boxes were fixed but I think the tail sweep is still terrible.
would have liked him in Rise, the wirebugs woulf have made the hight far less of an issue
My favorite plesioth instalment was monster hunter 4 ultimate
Plesioth had sleep in first gen and was in 4u in a fishing minigame
Fought this guy in GU for the first time, and thought "Well, that wasn't that bad?"
I see now that it indeed wasn't that bad and not the main one that people were complaining about
Plesioth can hip check you from across dimensions… it can get you- no, it will get you
Im sure in gen 2, so i think gen 1 also, his T-pose dive would inflict sleep, his normal bite only did huge dmg.
I love under water combat and miss it to be honest
To this day when i get hip checked by any monster I think of plesioth and if its a piscine wyvern i say plesi please on reflex. It was that bad
WHO DARES TO ASK THE FORBIDDEN QUESTION!!!
In mhfu, plesioth could also put you to sleep if it "flew" over you when jumping out of the water
Oh it can die in the water? in that case, they've changed that in freedom and freedom 2. he will jump out and immedietly die after.
My eager cleaver was still a greatsword in gen 1.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve never played freedom unite, but the only issue have with it is that I think it’s to large.
