When does the game get difficult?

[☣BlueNinja2ooo☣]

When does the game increase in difficulty significantly?

EDIT: didnt use the defender gear, that's like buying a sandwich and throwing out the filling.

Funny how people love to jump to conclusions, if the game was way too easy and I had defender gear on, I'd just take the defender gear off before asking the question.

That's what seems logical to me anyway.

"Later."

Depends. How far in are you?

[Aerond]

HR 50.

1st hurdle is probably anjanath, then diablos, then pink rathian if I remember correctly.

[Cherry Blossom ✿]

In World, first challenge is Anjanath. Second challenge may be Rathalos and Diablos. And then you can go to third challenge which is elder dragons.
In Iceborne, the first real difficult monster is Barioth, then you'll go with Nargacuga, Glavenus, Brachydios and then that nightmare called TIGREX, next monsters aren't more difficult, but not easier for the majority.

I've just killed the Bird thing with the fat tongue.
Enemies don't do much but stand there and let me hit them, kinda sad.

I probably wouldn't judge the whole game's difficulty based on Pukei-pukei... Keep playing.

Pukei-pukei, huh? So, like, a level 2 enemy. You've seen nothing, yet.

[Abi Normal]

Watch as OP is also using pure defender gear

Try to use SnS, Hammer, or LS. Or just SnS or LS. You need a faster weapon to familiarize yourself with the monsters attack patterns.

If you're not master rank, and using moderately powerful weapons, there was a mechanic put in that gave a window to tenderize the monster, which makes tons of silly stagger windows that happen periodically. It won't happen as often in master rank, or for some of the late game HR event quests.

Hopefully you can get there without losing interest.

Pukei-Pukei and similar bosses are essentially tutorial fights that introduce mechanics one step at a time to avoid overwhelming people. Anjanath is the first proper monster that starts to challenge some people, but where you are personally challenged will vary depending on individual.


It should also be noted that if you're using Defender/Guardian equipment, you're essentially stomping mice with an orbital cannon and shouldn't be surprised you have no trouble.

I`re are using defender/guardian armor, this is mid to late game armor to boost people through the story line (more or less HR 14) so that people can join iceborne storyline.

If your are using it, got to the box get the standard armor, play some quests them come back here to report if its easy

[Zhou Yu]

Are you using the guardian armor set? Because that specific set is for players who want to rush through base game to get to Iceborne as quick and easily as possible.

You've literally fought the second monster and are asking when the game will get harder, chill dude you're still in the tutorial.
