New information about Hyakuryu Yagyo!
The term "Hyakuryu Yagyo," which will be a key element of this title, has been used since the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise.
There was a video showing many monsters attacking the village of Kamura, but what it actually was was shrouded in mystery.
Director Yasunori Ichinose gave us a glimpse of what the "Hyakuryu Yagyo" is all about!
The "Hyakuryu Yagyo" quest is a quest to defend the village of Kamura against hordes of monsters.
The objective is to defend the fortress by using hunting equipment to fight off the monsters until all the herds are finished, or the quest is completed when the last big one is killed.
You will use the preparation time before the monster herds invade to set up your hunting equipment. Be creative and set up your equipment in such a way that it is easy to repel the invading monsters.
When the " wolf smoke of counterattack " is raised during the monster invasion, the hunter's attack power will be greatly increased.
This is a chance for hunters to wield their weapons and attack directly.
The friends of the village of Kamura will also join in the defense and become powerful helpers.
The "big" monsters that lead the herds and
There are also more powerful individuals called " nushi.
It is the hunter's role to defend the fort and fight off these monsters.
Let's cooperate with the village guard and protect the village of Kamura from the Hundred Dragon and Night Parade!
