Why are people struggling with normal Zinogre?

[Phazon Xenomorph]

It's not even tempered, it's a normal Investigation Zinogre, and yet people seem consistently unable to properly hunt the thing. This is getting frustrating lol.

I haven't played online with randoms, is zinogre really one of the problem monsters? I was personally questioning his inclusion in 6* instead of 4*. He's really fun to fight but I don't feel like he has anything that's particularly difficult to deal with (like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ luna nova, ♥♥♥♥ that move).

What moves are killing people?

1. Hunt it by yourself.

2. Avoid getting frustrated.

3. ???

4. Profit?

He's not hard, but people keep standing together when he's supercharged and taking those high air slams where Zinny leaps up high and crashes down to the face, they keep trying to shock trap him when he's supercharged and taking a huge damage attack as a result cause they think the trap will catch him...

This isn't a new monster, people shouldn't be struggling this hard on him and yet they are.

This is a new monster for those new to the IP. And those players are reallly really lots of numbers. I wouyldnt be surprised if only 5-10% of the playerbase played the previous games...

Did you ever consider that when posting that last part of your post? Last ime I checked he isnt met during IB story, nor is met in vanilla MHW.

True that it's not a new monster. But i'd say a lot of peeps are new to mhw and the series so they'd not be used to Zinny. Maybe idk. Also. Not sure what would reap better rewards. GL or just a investigation.(but investigations can vary)

[Nerevar]

doggo boi is one of the easier new ones i fought tbh. barioth and angry chicken and anything that flys constantly is way more annoying to deal with as a melee user.

Hunters can't handle Zin's sick dance moves, yo.

Same. It's a great feeling, knowing that Mon Hun is getting a huge influx of beginners.

Very true xD

Because you have to constantly sheathe to eat a nullberry every time you get thunder blight or you're dead.

Also using sub-optimal gear because I don't have the decorations to make the meta set yet (curse you final offensive guard/attack decoration) also many months of "I don't need to heal, i'll just use a big attack (SAED, TCS etc) and my health augment will take care of that" then suddenly you lose your augments for ages.


Plus Zin is probably one of the more annoying new monsters because it's one of those that jumps around constantly and changes target so often that you think you're safe to wind up the big damage, slow animation move and then suddenly he decides to attack you instead of another hunter/your palico and you get punished while stuck in the animation.

Apart from his jump attack dealing massive amount of damage but you can see it coming really. I expected him to be way harder consider we had Tigrex and barioth being harder to deal with.

I can understand tigrex but I hadf no problem with Barrioth.


And honestly, Whats hard for you is not hard for anothjer player.

Each player favorse certain monsters in how to fight.

I see alot of people hate Black Blos but I love that fight for instance.

I'm pretty new to mh, zinogre doesn't seem to be difficult at all, his patterns are easy to learn.
the real question is, why the fk he doesn't give his skymerald ?
it's my 20th zinogre i think more than 50 will be needed xd

He jumps around and do a massive spin attack after few jumps and it often get most people because it is near instant 360 area hit. He is constantly jumping around in the start and only later in the fight does he actually slow down.
