One major point of contention among players of Monster Hunter Wilds is the perceived ease of its endgame. Fortunately, the arrival of Mizutsune, the latest tier eight Tempered monster, has provided a fresh and challenging experience that many hunters appreciate.
If you’ve been looking to conquer Mizutsune, you might find its new Tempered variant even more formidable.
“I’ve participated in a number of hunts, and that enraged Tempered Mizutsune’s tail slam attack can eliminate players with a single hit—sometimes taking down two hunters simultaneously,” shares one hunter on Reddit. “The speed of its attacks is astonishing. I experienced its power myself. The damage output exceeds that of the regular Mizutsune. Is this designed to be this way, or am I missing something?”
Despite the heightened challenge, the community tends to agree that this Leviathan presents good hit zones, viable openings for attacks and trips, and engaging strikes without overwhelming the camera like Gore Magala tends to do.
Should you require additional motivation to face this beast beyond its inherent difficulty, it boasts impressive gear compatible with various weapons.
While opinions on the armor may vary, the consensus is that the battle remains thrilling.
“I just want to take a moment to sing the praises of Mizutsune,” writes a fan on Reddit. “The character model is nothing short of stunning—absolutely the most beautiful monster in the game. The fur appears so plush, and the iridescence on the scales is phenomenal. The fight itself is incredibly enjoyable. Bubbleblight remains an effective status, and I find it to be more entertaining than frustrating. Overall, I think the level of difficulty is spot-on. I’ll admit I’m not overly fond of the armor sets, but the weapons are exceptional.”
In the future, other apex creatures like Rey Dau and Uth Duna will join the ranks as tier eight Tempered foes, yet Mizutsune offers a refreshing change from the recent focus on Gore Magala and Arkveld.
Thus, if you stepped away from Monster Hunter Wilds due to concerns about the endgame’s level of challenge, now is an ideal moment to dive back in.
