u/Pokesers 20d ago

He was a great fight in mhfu. Such a breakable monster, chop tail, break wings, break head about 3 times. Then there was also the chance you would get a battle damaged one.

I also miss when elders would be repelled and you would kill them over multiple fights and they kept the damage between them. Really felt like hunting down a powerful monster and the kill was so satisfying.

One of my first kushala ran from me twice and that final fight was so good. Really felt like a nemesis.

86

u/AirCautious2239 : 20d ago

Not necessarily as we get a hub area with the TU and hub area normally means housing especially with the number of demands for a place where we can place our caught wildlife

53

u/DetectAsh 20d ago

I really doubt our demands affected a pre planned title update as much as I would like that.

19

u/typographie 20d ago

As a reaction to player feedback after Feb. 28, yeah, there's no chance. If they only just learned we want housing, maybe it will be an expansion feature.

I only hold a little hope because whatever is coming in TU1 was probably in development long before Wilds launched. They knew we'd want the hub before they heard it from us, so maybe they've also been working on the housing system as well.

8

u/Malamear 20d ago

Seeing as there is day 1 catchable wildlife and crown and rare versions with no reward (other than the shooting star trophy) or display options yet, I would be insanely surprised if they didn't have a place to display said creatures already in the works.

Maybe not TU1, but I bet they didn't need player opinions for that feature to be already in the works. This game is too much like world to get the rise treatment.

He kinda always has been, but it stands out more in this game since he's no longer an early game monster. You've fought better monsters with more interesting movesets already, so when this guy shows up and spends the whole fight running back and forth spitting fireballs like it's still the PS2 era it feels way more tedious by comparison.

You mean the move where it does two 180 degree tail swipes as it did in previous games? You can definitely roll around that (or through it if your timing is good). Rathian does the same thing, it's just bigger so it's a little easier to get around.

Used to be that pretty much every monster did 2x 180 tail swipes. Once you learned that, it basically became a free potion/reposition time.

there's a difference between thinking it's hard and just thinking it's so annoying you don't want to fight it. Kut-ku is not dangerous and will never kill me, that doesn't mean I ever want to fight it

I like fighting old monsters, they’re ingrained in my brain on how they fight which makes them very familiar. My only gripe in this quest is how Alma wanted me to capture it when theres no tranq bomb yet. Good thing it appears later in supplies lol. Also, the new burrow beak attack with perfect tracking is kindy cringe.

u/TipAndRare 20d ago

you can absolutely craft tranq bombs before high rank tho?

I thought for sure it had to be a joke. I guess maybe I was at an advantage after having spent hundreds if not a thousand hours on Monster Hunter Freedom 20 years ago (and not much Monster Hunter since then) and killing a lot of Kut-Kus and Garugas but they work almost exactly the same as back then and they're a breeze to fight, I'm confused how anyone would find them difficult or even just annoying after playing through the rest of the Wilds campaign.

Gravios is the only one that truly annoys me. Kut ku is just kinda cute. He's a nice intro to HR with his easy but faster moveset.

5

u/Background-Sea4590 20d ago

Yeah, I never liked Gravios. Kind of forces me to hit his belly and I don’t see shit haha

u/Brumtol10 20d ago

One of my favorites, it made me so happy that he was the entrance test to High Rank, I remember fighting him in Freedom Unite as a lowly monster and now, well now yian kut ku is magnificent.

u/ErandurVane 20d ago

God yes. I was like "I just finished fighting Arkveld and then took out a creature that ended a civilization with ease and now this spastic turkey is beating my ass??? What the hell! Their moveset is so frustrating and the fact they move in... Flocks? is even more aggravating

As someone who really got into MH from 4U I associate his goofy ass with Konchus more than anything. Cause they're not around to me he's just the bird that goes herp-derp when he runs

As for the fight, I just kept getting clipped by the fireballs cause for some reason it was a math genius and kept aiming right behind me so my blocks and dodges were useless a third of the time

u/A-dona-I 20d ago

i could never hate kut ku sensei, he taught me everything :')

u/fauxvul 20d ago

Kutku? No. Seeing his new things did surprise me the first time. But after learning those new moves he still just the funny birb that's easy to punish.

6

u/Lone-Frequency 20d ago

I...actually like it lol

They turned Kut-Ku into nearly as much of a schizo chicken as Garuga in this game.

That "shovel" charge attack where it runs at you with its beak on the ground is surprisingly hard to avoid.

New players when something doesn't stay still for 50 seconds

u/WildSerins 20d ago

Do people really have issue with Kut-Ku? This is coming from a old gen vet, I'm not trying to flex or anything, I'm just genuinely curious. His movement is pretty much the same from the previous series and I don't have much issue with him.

21

u/thesardinelord 20d ago

It’s BECAUSE the movement is the same from the previous games that he’s hard. All the new monsters have big attacks with big windups that are easy to see coming, and kut-ku is instead quite fast and has innocuous attacks that hit much harder than you would expect. When you’ve faced him in the past he’s easy, but he’s very different than lots of the other monsters and you fight him right as you enter high rank so you won’t be overgeared either.

11

u/Omnizoom 20d ago

I think kut ku is always designed to be when you don’t have a lot of gear just to make players realize this next tier is more serious

He’s always the first “real” wyvern when he is featured and he usually teaches patience and waiting for opportunities and the importance of not standing right next to it 24/7

4

u/NopileosX2 20d ago

I guess the design just is so different than most new monsters. All the new monsters have quite good tells and attack patterns. Kut-Ku just runs back and forth and got insane tracking on this weird charge attack with the head in the ground.

I think being the first HR monster it can actually hit quite hard if people did not craft good armor in LR and still run around in more or less starting gear.

I just let him go by doing his stupid shit. Then I punish him when we stops.

Oh boy it’s great seeing new hunter’s get to feel our pain finally lol

u/Darkcyrax7711 20d ago

I don't understand its tail swipe. It doesn't look like an attack. Bro just turns normally and I get sent flying

u/Lux_Kaos 20d ago

I've gotten used to this thing, stupid as it is. XD Across several games the number of times I've fought a Yian Kut-Ku is probably in the triple digits by now.

u/fleiwerks 20d ago

I was helping my friend capture it yesterday, while stoned. This is perhaps the worst monster to fight while out in space, I was dying of laughter every second.

7

u/hillean 20d ago

It's an annoying monster.

Small stature, no real warning on most of its moves, and flies away after a few strikes.

Spent 30m hunting one yesterday, with 5 minutes of actual fighting in it. Went through must've been 15 dung pods; every time it flew off it'd rejoin with 1-2 of its friends

5

u/GreatRolmops 20d ago

It was way worse in older games when you didn't have a mount to easily chase it. Worse still if you also forgot to paintball the monster in time.

That said, the Kut-ku pack mechanic in Wilds definitely adds a new level of annoyance that wasn't there before. I love it.

6

u/Bloody_Champion 20d ago

Whenever any monster is slightly more aggressive than the usual pack, there will always be ppl that complain. Even though these monsters are so few.

I prey they rajang back in despite the crying, since he always put up a fight. 😢

Nope, I have loved him since 2004 and will love him until my death bed. Long live the king.

u/PunishedCatto 20d ago

Well.. it was, in the ol' PS2 era.

Now.. imagine if they pull Gigginox outta P3rd. I'll shit bricks again. Screw it's stupid poison and it's worm-like larvae.

u/FdPros 20d ago

nah hes fine

u/PureWolfie 20d ago

After like 10 of these, I used my first flare and now I let hammermommy & co do most the work with these flaming dickwads.

I honestly hate them.

3

u/DarkCrimson957 20d ago edited 20d ago

Just wait for Yian Garuga my fella! Take everything Kut-Ku is here and level it up quite a few times with relentless energy and it's own unique theme.

Oh and... add Poison and the need for Earplugs too.

If you like having rest in between attacks, might as well kiss that goodbye too.

3

u/Whitipikip 20d ago

I don’t inherently hate the fight, just the one move where it becomes a near unavoidable, explosive, snow plow. It barely does damage but it’s annoying that I’ve had to figure out a monsters turning circle.

3

u/CurryWuerstchen 20d ago

Kut-Ku is a blessing once you fought Yian Garuga

u/Butthunter_Sua 20d ago

Yian Kut-Ku hits so good when you ain't got a b*tch in your ear telling you it don't.

u/Perfect_Cold_6112 20d ago

I fucking hate congalala.

u/deadeye-ry-ry 20d ago

I was in a fight with arkvald the other day and kut ku came and fucking slaughtered him

Kut ku is the real apex predator heck he's the real elder dragon! 😂

u/LifeBuilder 20d ago

This douche bag always shovels me across the map.

Always.

It never missed.

I hate it.

3

u/CynicaGaming 20d ago

What's not to hate? The fact that his small movements that I don't interpret as attacks always hit me? Or maybe the fact that if I fail to hit him with a flash pod he runs away to the other side of the map?

3

u/erj232 20d ago

No, you're not the only one..I hate it, cuz it's the first time I feel my weapons are ineffective against it.
