At the gamescom, there was yet another new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds. The trailer also featured two new monsters. One of them particularly captivated veterans of Elden Ring because it resembles one of the most difficult and notorious boss battles.
Which monster is it? The latest trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds at gamescom showcased new areas and especially new monsters. One of them is Lala Barina. A new spider monster with a new area.
With the Nerscylla in Monster Hunter 4 and the Rakna-Kadaki in Monster Hunter Rise, Lala Barina is the third major spider monster in the series. The unique feature of Lala Barina is the large rose on its back, which disperses spores. In the trailer, you can even see how the monster spins with silk to spread the spores widely. The area also matches the color of the rose. For fans of Elden Ring, all of this evokes a nightmare of the toughest boss in the main game.
If you are at gamescom, you can also see the game for yourself or play many other games. From home, you can watch a lot of things on stream. This includes the FYNG show from Gamestar, GamePro, and MeinMMO.
Webedia Gaming (GameStar, GamePro, MeinMMO) accompanies the big gaming event as the official media partner of Gamescom 2024.
Malenia in Monster Hunter?
Which boss does Lala Barina remind players of? In the Monster Hunter subreddit, many players say that Lala Barina reminds them of Malenia. Malenia is a notorious boss fight that has given many players headaches. The fight was so difficult that a community member even became a legend.
Not only does the rose remind of the scarlet accents in the Malenia fight, but the area itself also evokes many memories. Lala Barina lives in the Crimson Forest. The red water in this forest also brings back memories of the area where you fight Malenia.

Malenia, my beloved Rotting One, welcome back.
Which other monster was featured? The Rey Dau was also new, hinted at in previous trailers. He can fly and use lightning attacks. For this, he has horns on his head that he can use as a targeting device to discharge electricity. He appeared in a storm in the trailer. By the way, this is not the first encounter of Monster Hunter and Elden Ring fans: The DLC contains a new weapon that reminds Monster Hunter fans of their favorite sword.
