In the post, I talked about the monsters, armors, and weapons. I also mentioned differences from World and other monster hunter titles. This post is an update on new maps, monsters and general information like character creation, and the hub town.

I'll start with the hub town and character creation. Every Monster Hunter game has some sort of hub town where you get your quest, make your gear and buy items before the hunt. In Monster Hunter games there is always a Feline dinner that gives you buffs(its run by cat chefs), a farm which lets you grow rare materials of your choice and something new for Monster Hunter is a training room. The hub town is called Astera. As off now there is still a lot of the hub town to be explored; areas like the online hall where you join up with other players and the player house where you store gear. Now, character creation in previous games has been very basic but with the addition of world, that's not the case at all. The character creation is extremely in depth. You can jump in with pre-made characters like most games or you can spend hours going through and making the character you want. I'm not going to spend the whole blog on this but click HERE and it will take you to a link to an in-depth character creation video on Youtube by Arekkz Gaming. Oh, you also have a feline companion called a Palico that accompanies you on solo and story quest. You get to make the Palico how you want also.
In the last post, I talked about the environment but didn't actually give you descriptions of the maps so I guess this will cover all maps. Map #1: The Ancient Forest. The Ancient Forest is a basic forest map that has dense jungles, open plains, mountain ranges and has water areas like rivers and ocean beaches. It's the first map your introduced to in World and is part of the island the hub town is on. Map #2: The Wildspire Waste. This is the iconic Monster Hunter desert map. It is very baren and like a desert, it is a very rocky and sandy map. It also has a swampish area with very murky water. Map #3: The Coral Highlands. This is a new type of map for monster hunter. It is similar to a coral reef but out of the water. It has lots of bright colors and is a place relief from the dull previous maps. There is a map #4 but it is most likely a special map reserved for fighting the Elder Dragon which a will mention in the updated monster list. That concludes the maps as of now but I expect at least 3 more maps, a flooded plains map, a volcano map and a tundra map
Now to update the curent monster list. I'll start with the two unamed monsters from the last post. Pukei Pukei, and Zorah Magdaros which is the Elder Dragon I mentioned early. Along with Zorah Magdaros, this is a new monster who is the poster boy for World, Nergigante. Most fans are assuming he's an Elder Dragon too, and I very much agree with that statement. The rest of the new monsters can all be found in the Coral Highlands. There are Legiana, Paolumu, Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, and Tobi-Kadachi. Click HERE to go to the link for the images and basic information about the monsters.
This concludes this week's blog post. Like last time I've left a lot of stuff out but hopefully the more you learn the more interested you become in the game. With the emergence of more and more monsters, maps, and just everything the game keeps getting better and better. P.S. the next 9 weeks will be covering the book The Culture of Fear, and I won't have time for blogs like this. Remeber this is a school blog. Till next time, bye and thanks for reading.
I learned so much about that game! I wasn't aware that it even existed. It seems to be really neat!
