The newest Title Update is live for Monster Hunter Wilds and it adds the first collaboration monster – Final Fantasy 14’s Omega Planetes. Those who fought Behemoth in Monster Hunter World will find plenty familiar here, but there are several new mechanics to master.
To help players along, Capcom has released a new introductory guide. As with Behemoth, Kulve Taroth, and Safi’jiiva, one player who attacks Omega Planetes’s head will draw its aggression and many of its attacks. A guard-focused character is thus essential for higher defense. Others can target its parts and unleash new Pictomancy spells to deal damage or take out its minions.
Shields will be important for avoiding some attacks, including the all-powerful Delta Attack. The latter requires slaying a Nerscylla clone in time and huddling under its shield for protection. Master all this and you’ll defeat Omega Planetes in no time (hopefully).
There’s even more to come for Monster Hunter Wilds, including Title Update 4 in December, which adds Gogmazios, the first Elder Dragon. Stay tuned for more details.
