New Branching Actions Combining Weapon Variations and New Adventurers
Eight signature weapon variations from the series appear for the hunt:
- Great Sword

Combining each weapon variation with the game's diverse cast of Adventurers unleashes brand-new actions while staying true to classic hunting gameplay.
