The release of Monster Hunter Wilds was not long ago. Now there are already the first speedruns of particularly difficult monsters. A Japanese player defeated his target in just a few seconds and shared his build with the community.
The Japanese player aco shares his fastest hunts from the beta on his profile. Now he has shared his first run from the full version and hit like a bomb – literally. In 37 seconds, he takes down his target without even giving it a chance to retaliate.
Which monster did the speedrunner slay? For his speedrun, he faced a hardened Gravios – a flying wyvern that sports a thick shell, initially providing little opportunity for attack.
You can watch his run here:
In 37 seconds to a kill with this build
How did aco defeat the hardened Gravios so quickly? Equipped with a heavy bowgun, he sets off and begins his hunt with two thunder capsules. This puts Gravios out of action for a certain period and then he really heats things up by aiming specifically at the unprotected belly area of the monster, causing increased damage.
There he continuously inflicts wounds and prevents the monster from confronting its attacker due to his build. Ultimately, Gravios goes down, and aco traps it with a shock trap.
What build did aco use? He utilized some items that boost his attacks as well as water ammunition, against which Gravios has a weakness. Additionally, he used this equipment that the user @ZecherGuy translated in the comments of the YouTube video:
