《怪物猎人狂野》测试玩家分享对新旗舰怪物阿克维尔的喜爱与担忧

The Monster Hunter Wilds beta is back, introducing thrilling new challenges. A formidable new antagonist, Arkveld, is proving a significant hurdle, generating both excitement and apprehension among beta testers.

Arkveld serves as the flagship monster for Monster Hunter Wilds, prominently featured on the game's cover and poised to play a pivotal role in the game's narrative. The current beta offers a challenging hunt against the Chained Arkveld, imposing a 20-minute time limit and a five-faint restriction.

This colossal winged beast, wielding electrically charged chains from each arm, presents a formidable challenge. Its lightning-fast attacks and powerful chain swings create a truly intense combat experience. Even seasoned hunters are finding themselves overwhelmed by its devastating moves.

Its innovative use of chains for movement and long-range assaults showcases impressive technological advancements. One attack, in particular, has garnered significant attention: Arkveld's ability to grab and roar at hunters before forcefully slamming them to the ground.

Arkveld's impact extends beyond the hunt itself. A humorous video circulating on the r/MHWilds subreddit captures Arkveld unexpectedly interrupting a hunter's meal, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the Wilds.

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }The visually stunning fight and Arkveld's extreme danger have captivated the Monster Hunter community. While the difficulty might deter some, many players are invigorated by the challenge. The game's core concept—confronting powerful monsters—is perfectly embodied by Arkveld's imposing presence. The "Chained" designation and its flagship status have sparked speculation about a potentially even more formidable "Unchained" variant in the future.

The Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Test 2 runs from February 6th to 9th, and again from February 13th to 16th. Hunters can engage with both Arkveld and the returning Gypceros, along with new features like a Training Area and Private Lobbies.
