Monster Hunter Rise is home to a large menagerie of monsters itching to crush Kamura Village. Read on to learn which monsters you will be facing in the PC edition of Monster Hunter Rise.
What are Apex Monsters?
Monsters can be encountered at various difficulty levels in Monster Hunter Rise. Low-Rank monsters, for example, are made for beginners who still need to learn the movesets and weaknesses of a certain monster. Once you get into High-Rank, the movesets change a bit and you can get even stronger weapons and armor with all-new Armor Skills.
Apex Monsters are monsters that are so fierce and diabolical, that they are considered the Apex of their entire species. You can think of them as Apex predators they destroy everything in their path. The havoc wreaked by an Apex Arzuros, for example, was exponentially more than any regular Arzuros could hope to achieve. These Apex Monsters are characterized by the blue hue of their monster icon in your Hunter s Notes. You will have to raise your Hunter Rank up to at least High Rank in order to encounter them in a Rampage Quest. After you ve gotten to Hunter Rank 8, you can encounter even more Apex Monsters in Rampage Quest
