The Witcher 3's Yennefer and Triss Join Monster Hunter World in Mod

Of the weapons that represent major races in the Hyrule established by the 2017 Switch launch title Breath of the Wild , three already feature in Monster Hunter 's arsenal of weapons in one way or another. The Gerudo specialize in using sword and shield combos, the Rito specialize in using bows, and the Goron specialize in using heavy swords like Claymores. Disregarding combat options such as magic rods, only the spears used primarily by the Zora do not have an equival

Alternatively, a hunter could throw their Spear to graze the side of a monster, and this is a place to incorporate elemental strengths. Say one player is using a Thunder Element Spear, Monsterwildlands.com it would make sense for the weapon to emit some electrical energy as it flies through the air. This would leave the weapon stuck in the ground wherever it lands, requiring players to collect it again (unless something like a Wirebug allows it to be instantly retrieve

magician-forest-wolf-fantasy-mood-mystical-magic-atmosphere-mysterious-thumbnail.jpgThe series' success has allowed it to branch off into a variety of new properties and products from its original novelization, including a mobile game, multiple board games, live-action series on Netflix, a digital card game, an animated series, and even its own convention dubbed WitcherCon . This has also led to the series being referenced in a variety of other video games, and Geralt of Rivia crossing over into some titles, although there are still many games he would be perfect to make an appearance

Definitely one of the best and most iconic armor sets in the game , this fancy armor offers more vitality and a buck load of defense against many attacks, from slashing to bludgeoning . Not only do you look the part of a dashing, chivalrous knight, but you're more than ready to take down a dragon and save damsels in distr

Monster Hunter Rise will undoubtedly carry this system forward, but it also adds more by giving players a new form of transportation called Wirebugs that double as the basis for super-powerful attacks or special techniques. On top of that, the Monster Hunter Rise demo on Nintendo Switch showcases numerous quality-of-life updates compared to Generations Ultimate including open-world map design, faster resource collecting, and rideable Palamute partners. Introducing new weapons is just one more way the game could improve, and Nintendo has offered an interesting exam

Monster Hunter World 's crossover event allowed players to hunt a Leshen from The Witcher, while also allowing players to craft a set of armor that looks like Geralt's gear from The Witcher 3 . The crossover makes a lot of sense, especially since it sees Geralt continuing to hunt monsters. However, one of Geralt's most recent crossovers was also the weirdest. It was with the Switch's Daemon X Machina , and saw both Geralt and Ciri appearing in the g

Despite the crossovers The Witcher has already had, there are many video games that it would feel right at home in. One option would keep Geralt in the fighting game genre and see him making an appearance in the Mortal Kombat series. Not only would he fit as an agile fighter with a variety of moves, but Mortal Kombat has had a variety of strange guest characters in the past. It also would be interesting to see how Mortal Kombat would apply its over-the-top gore and fatalities to Geralt, which would fit the series' mature themes and make Geralt seem more devastating than his appearance in Soulcalibur

One of the reasons Monster Hunter appeals to so many people is the freedom of choice inherent to its range of weapons. One player may prefer to deal cutting damage with an immense Great Sword , whereas another may prefer the blunt, skull-cracking hits inherent to the Hammer. Yet the wealth of options goes deeper, as each weapon can also specialize in dealing elemental damage or status effects, and a player's custom armor set can also provide unique skills to assist in bat

Skyrim's Daedric Armor Set not only makes you look absolutely wicked, but it offers quite the level of protection as well. You probably see a dremora wearing a full set, but sadly you can't loot it from their corp

Some hunters may consider the Tigrex an easy fight given how long it's been a part of the series, but even those hunters will start to sweat once this monster gets angry. The Tigrex is notable for its fierce attacks, especially in rage mode, becoming faster and more relentless the longer a hunt goes on. The Brute Tigrex variant is, if you can believe it, even more aggressive than its regular f

There are a ton of stylish armor sets to choose from in The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild . However, the Desert Voe set is undoubtedly one of the most unique and attractive in the entire game (and no, we don't just say that because Link is mostly tople

To balance out a weapon that spends much of its time stuck in a monster or the ground, it seems right to provide hunters some extra benefit while unarmed. Perhaps they could run faster while unencumbered, or simply have an easier time setting up traps and utilizing other items. It's easy to posit what a good weapon could be and much harder to actually implement one in a series as complex as Monster Hunter is already, but a thought experiment such as this shows the possibilities for new weapons are limitless when pulling from the right source mater
