Ancient Leshen or Extreme Behemoth

[NiamhNyx]

Which one do you like more?

I like the Ex Behemoth fight more. I think it might be because I have done it less, so I am not bored of it yet, but it is just a fun fight for me.
It also seems a little more challenging than the Leshen fight, which is pretty much just: Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, It ded.

Leshen is a lots more interesting in turn of lore. Behemoth is probably more fun with the eclipse meteor gimmick.

Extreme Behemoth is the harder of the two, but my favorite run was Ancient Leshen, b/c of its laughability not difficulty

I spent the whole time grabbing slinger ammo and firing it into the face of the Leshen, we had a 10 minute kill, but nobody took any damage lol...

Extreme Behemoth took 3 tries, we got it to 1 health each time, but the final (no safeguards) Ecliptic killed just enough of us to fail each time, until I took our group, and we did a bunch of regular Behemoth Ecliptic Meteor timing runs

Eventually we did it with a rando, they died twice, but we managed to succeed in spite of that

I almost died, I got stuck between a wall and a hurricane, WHILE an ecliptic was about to come down, I managed to repeatedly roll-superman dive, spam behind a blocker just before the comet hit

I like neither of them because they're monsters from another game. I only like original monster hunter monsters.

[!?!]

I like behemoth more because he doesn't gate any weapons.

The point of this is the fact they are from another game. but ok.

Ancient Leshen was a garbage gimmick fight that shouldn't have existed in the first place. Flash spam, grab attack spam that forces OTHER players to free you, obnoxious teleports and constant chip damage.

EX Behemoth is by far the best fight in the entire game. Super rewarding when you fully learn him and are able to solo it. And it's even better when you have a team that knows what they're doing.

Extremoth is still better imo. Ancient Leshen is just straight out garbage as this thing can at random moments one hit you even at full 150 hp regardless of defense and no I'm not talking about his bird nova, some of his regular attacks can one hit you randomly. Capcom thinks that this is making the game harder when in reality, this is making the hunt really ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Ancient Leshen. It's a genuinely fun fight, has cool mechanics, and it's quest line added a ton of cool things, like learning a ton of background info on characters, adding the Gajalaka King and more info on gajas, and adding a plant based monster.
Behemoth is just a trash fight

Extreme Behemoth. They're both pretty bad in terms of mechanics but Ancient Leshen is worse.

Small monsters that move around a lot have a small hp pool because your opportunities to hit them is uncommon so it's like balancing (i.e. Kirin). Ancient Leshen completely ignores this.
Not only does he teleport like a crazed coke addict and has stupidly large hp pool but he also has Vaal's effluvia-like mechanic which is like adding diarrhea on top of a sh-t cake. More times than not I was healing more than hitting him since your hp leeches away just from being near him.
They do allow you flash him infinitely which is like bracing a mount on Extremoth for long periods. But meh, it's not fun and Ancient Leshen is just annoying to fight. His root attacks are pretty cool though.

Extreme Behemoth has more fleshed out mechanics in comparison. 1st phase: Not really aggressive phase, 2nd: Magic Phase, 3rd: Melee+DPS phase, 4th: Basically 3 small versions of Phase 4 of the normal one. There's a very viable approach to him as a team like an MMO. The problem with him is some of his moves are ridiculously fast and hit like a truck. Oh and Charybdis, which is 100% garbage.

Extremoth. Hands down. My favorite hunt in the game
