Question 1

True or false: In Monster Hunter Rise, you can ride a Canyne to sharpen your weapon while moving.

Accepted Answer

True. Rise introduced Palamutes that let you sharpen, heal, or use items while mounted, a quality-of-life feature not present in older titles.

Question 2

True or false: The Greatsword can charge its attacks to deal more damage, but only if you hold the button for exactly 3 seconds.

Accepted Answer

False. The charge time varies; holding longer increases damage up to a maximum, but there's no exact 3-second requirement. Timing depends on the attack.

Question 3

True or false: The Rathalos is immune to all elemental damage except dragon element.

Accepted Answer

False. Rathalos is weak to dragon and thunder, but takes reduced or no damage from fire, ice, and water. It's not immune to all others.

Question 4

True or false: Using a Flash Pod on a flying monster will always ground it immediately.

Accepted Answer

False. While effective, monsters like Kushala Daora or those enraged may resist or require multiple flashes. It's not a guaranteed instant ground.

Question 5

True or false: The Palico companion can be customized to use a tiny fishing rod to catch monsters.

Accepted Answer

False. Palicoes in Monster Hunter can use a fishing rod to catch fish, but not monsters. Gadgets like the Plunderblade steal monster parts, not a fishing rod.

Question 6

True or false: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate has a hidden boss that only appears if you fail a quest 50 times in a row.

Accepted Answer

False. No such boss exists. This myth likely stems from the 'Guildmarm's crush' rumors in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, but it's completely false.

Question 7

True or false: The developers of Monster Hunter once added a monster that could only be fought during a full moon in real life.

Accepted Answer

False. No such mechanic exists. Monster Hunter does have time-based events, but none tied to real lunar phases. This is a persistent urban legend.

Question 8

True or false: In the original Monster Hunter, Fatalis's health carried over between quests, allowing players to wear it down across multiple attempts.

Accepted Answer

True. Fatalis had an enormous health pool that couldn't be depleted in one 50-minute quest, so its remaining health carried over to the next attempt, making it a unique battle of attrition.
