Endgame is tied to just repeatedly farming Tempered Arkveld.

[-Absentis-]

Arkveld is the only tempered 8-star monster worth fighting in the end. Why? because he's the only one who has a significant amount of rarity 8 weapon mat drops, the armor is the only rarity 8 armor with highest amount of armor and most upgradability, and also great hunts with Tempered Arkvelds give the most xp. And unless you want to fashion hunt for layered armor, or farm for a rarity 8 non artian weapon, there's no real reason to grind any of the other monster. Besides searching for crowns. So atleast for me, I know the game just came out, but I feel the current "End Game" was poorly planned. I want to fight an 8 star congalala, or Nu Udra, or even an 8-star firechicken. But those dont exist. So there's not much of a point to continue engaging with the game until the next title update drops.

I already crafted everything i need. Endgame needs content. ASAP.

Farming hunter symbols for rarity 8 weapons, plus the tempered apexes drop the same weapon parts as a tempered arkveld.

Welcome to Monster Hunter, wait a good 6 months to a year and we’ll have more. In the meantime might I suggest other games?

Was that ever a thing in previous games?

Not outside of event quests.

Correct, but then to get to that point you'd need to play for 60 hours or so at least. That in my book is fine enough for a game like this.

I'm at almost double that.

You can farm all Apexes and not just Arkvelt for variety.

Thats just player mentallity because he is 8* and easyer then GM.

Whatever do you mean OP, endgame is fishing for whoppers.

I think i was up to 17 whoppers so far, i am also very upset i lost my gold crown platinum fish i caught, as i did not realize my game did not save.

Why only arkveld?? granted its the most fun fight... but all apex also drop the same as arkveld... do other hunt to keep things fresh

[This PC]

yeah, am actually incentivized to do a lot more than tempered arkveld lol, and even a lot more than tempered jin - tempered gore - tempered arkveld.

Dropping like 14 lvl 3 decos in a quest with 2 non tempered monsters that takes like... 8~10 mins to clear is pretty cool, tempered arkveld only really drops artian weapon parts.

For some reason though tempered arkvelds investigations pop up every other second while gore and the fat one is like once in a blue moon and probably not even a double monster investigation which makes it garbage.

I do agree that it is rather tragic they don't have a range of monster difficulty for each monster in the game. They could even add more move sets every 2 levels so you can have multiple versions of the same monster but all the fights feel different with the added move sets.

I know what Monster Hunter is, been playing it long enough to know the formula. I do wish they would take the time to expand on the core game play with more depth like I mentioned.

For 2025 the game feels so basic it's sorta disappointing.

Technically the previous game. Sunbreak's "Anomaly monsters" basically buffed all monsters to where even beginner monsters were not a bunch of striking dummies. (Although they did become damage sponges) Story based reason meant they disabled capturing so you had to slay them. Gave unique materials for upgrading armors/weapons.
