The Monster Hunter Wilds beta is back, introducing thrilling new challenges, particularly the formidable Arkveld. This fearsome beast, the game's flagship monster, is proving a significant hurdle for even experienced hunters.
Arkveld, a massive winged creature wielding electrifying chains, is the star of the show. The beta features a timed hunt against the "Chained" Arkveld, offering a 20-minute window and a five-faint limit. Its powerful attacks, surprising speed, and long-reaching chain whips are proving incredibly challenging. One particularly brutal move involves grabbing and roaring at the hunter before a devastating slam.
Reddit users are sharing their experiences, highlighting Arkveld's difficulty and impressive visual design. One amusing video shows Arkveld unexpectedly interrupting a hunter's meal, showcasing the unpredictable nature of the Wilds.
