At the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom announced more Arch-Tempered monsters for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Monster Hunter World. First, Lunastra will grace us with her presence, the Zorah Magdaros will come at a later date. In addition, a crossover will continue.
While the big Autumn Harvest Festival is currently taking place in Monster Hunter World, Capcom is already announcing the next content. Two new Arch-Tempered monsters are in the pipeline. In October, the Arch-Tempered Lunastra will be available.
Later, the gigantic Zorah Magdaros will follow. This monster belongs to the particularly large Elder Dragons.
Note: This only concerns the PS4 and Xbox One. The PC version of Monster Hunter World is not yet as advanced in the Event Quests. Recently, Deviljho was the latest on PC.
What are Arch-Tempered monsters? Arch-Tempered monsters are particularly strong monsters that stand above the tempered ones. They have a metallic sheen, endure significantly more damage, and deal more damage as well. So far, we have encountered them with the Kirin, Vaal Hazak, Teostra, and Kushala Daora.
Arch-Tempered Lunastra is coming in October
Next month, the next Arch-Tempered monster, Lunastra, is set to arrive. The quest is called “When Blue Dust Surpasses Red Lust”.
When is Lunastra coming? The Arch-Tempered Lunastra will be available in Monster Hunter World from October 4th until October 18th.
What rewards can you expect? You must collect tickets by slaying the Arch-Tempered Lunastra to craft the Empress γ set. What stats the armor will have is still unknown. Additionally, you can use the tickets to create the Sakura decoration set.
Here’s how you can exploit Lunastra’s weaknesses and defeat her. Whether the tips also apply to the Arch-Tempered variant remains to be seen.
No Date for the Arch-Tempered Zorah Magdaros
The probably largest monster in MHW, Zorah Magdaros, will also receive an Arch-Tempered variant. The associated quest is called “Undying Alpenglow”.
When is Zorah Magdaros coming? Unfortunately, Capcom did not reveal a date for the Elder Dragon. Most likely, he will arrive at the end of October, possibly right after the Arch-Tempered Lunastra. We will keep you updated.
What rewards can you expect? As with all Arch-Tempered monsters, you can also obtain a γ set variant of Zorah by collecting tickets for slaying the monster.
Zorah is a special monster whose quest follows a siege-style format. Whether there will be changes is still unknown.
The PS4-exclusive crossover with Horizon: Zero Dawn continues
PS4 players will already be familiar with the crossover. You can obtain Aloy’s armor and bow, as well as an outfit for your Palico. Here’s what you need to do to get the Horizon gear.
Note: Due to the Autumn Harvest Festival, all previously released event quests are active again. If you are missing any specific quests, you should catch up during this period.
