The majestic pre-qurio version of Elder Dragon Malzeno has arrived and is ready to wreak havoc in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
Bonus Update v16.0 introduced Primordial Malzeno - the final boss of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak DLC, and rightfully so, this Elder Dragon packs a punch! Players must do their best not to get hit by its attacks or they die within a few strikes.
This Elder Dragon also gets even more challenging when it enters a Bloodlust state when it's low on HP. During Bloodlust, Primordial Malzeno not only gains the ability to blink around the battlefield, but it can unleash a deadly supernova as well.
Those who want to take on Primordial Malzeno will have to complete the urgent quest called Harbinger of Destruction, available once players reach MR10.
Bonus Update v16.0 includes some nifty features as well. For instance, the new Augment: Slots+ option in Qurious Armor Crafting enables players to add extra slots to their equipment. Additionally, this feature can improve the slots of a piece of gear, allowing for more flexible build.
