At E3 2019, YouTuber Arekkz was able to try out a demo version of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and fight against two new monsters: Tigrex and Banbaro.
What was shown at E3 about Iceborne? Visitors of the E3 fair had the opportunity to fight against two of the new monsters from the Iceborne expansion. These were the new monster Banbaro and the fan-favorite Tigrex.
Their quests were ranked in difficulty such that Banbaro was recommended for advanced players and Tigrex only for true professionals. Less experienced hunters could take on the good old Great Jagras and beat it to a pulp.
What can be seen in the videos? Arekkz was able to record his fights against both Banbaro and Tigrex. Besides the short intro, the videos are completely unedited, and you can watch the fights in all their action-packed glory.
As the fight against Tigrex was the most difficult in the demo, Arekkz teamed up with three other players. They used the following weapons:
- Sword and Shield
- Switch Axe
- Long Sword
- Hunting Horn
Various perspectives were captured during the fight. You can see how the different weapons play in a real combat situation and check out the new combos.
Arekkz, however, faced Banbaro alone. Here, he uses the energy blade and also takes advantage of the new practical slingshot mechanic, which allows you to draw closer to monsters.
You can also see how Banbaro uses elements from the environment, such as rocks or tree trunks, to attack the hunter.
