Every Monster Ranked From EASIEST To HARDEST - Monster Hunter Rise Tier List 

What is the hardest monster in Sunbreak? And which hard monster would you like to see added?

I Hate to admit it I've been murked by rathalos. Not even sunbreak elders gave me as much problems as rathalos

I feel like the list is relative to the weapons you main. That being said I think the hardest monster is that Sunbreak Valstrax imo.

I can not fathom what kind of struggles you had with Barioth for him to be ranked so high.

Crazy how people's opinion can differ so drastically. That goes to show that you really can't please everyone with these types of things and as far as I know, the devs did a pretty good job at implementing all the monsters for Sunbreak

For me Malzeno is really tough. He is one of the few monsters that I have to really up my game against, as I can’t just approach him like a normal monster. He has a lot of heavy hitting attacks that can be very punishing, and his aggression constantly keeps me on my feet. I was honestly surprised with how challenging the fight was, and there are a few times I failed the quest to this guy. I honestly really love malzeno’s design, and his fight makes him one of my favorite elder dragons already!

Still need a title update with a great boggi. Will be one of the monsters of all time.

As someone who is new to momster hunter, a lot of monsters that you put in very easy and easy were challenging to me... so I can't imagine how hard the other monsters will be when I unlock them😭

A Gore Magala is easier than Zinogre? Interesting scale at least 😂 Zinogre is not easy, but something about the way he runs and attacks reminds of a overgrown pup from Paw Patrol 😂😂

I generally agree with your list but the biggest WTF ones are Barioth and Zinogre, especially Barioth. Barioth compared to Iceborne is literally a prancing around pussy cat. They nerfed Barioth so much to the point where I don't fight it often because it feels like a chore instead of a challenge. I seriously can't believe you put Zinogre and Barioth. There are monsters in the medium that are harder than those two. Iceborne Barioth was relentless and my first true wall in Iceborne.

According to Kiranico, Scorned has between 52K and 59K hp in the original quest, which is not a small hp pool at all tbh (for a non afflicted monster). Idk seems like you just beat the crap out of him (with Swaxe i guess lmao).

Amuldron was the first monster I struggled with I’ve failed his quest like 3 or 4 times I got carted a few times and randoms who joined carted from Amuldron a few times

Yeah, this tier list is EXTREMELY subjective though, I think I disagree mostly with how you're judging the monsters. You're a very experienced player, most if not all monsters should be "easy" for you. I feel like this list should revolve around difficulty with a specific weapon.

Interesting to see how people rank the monster differently. Would put flaming espinas in medium tier tbh. But then again weapon context is key. Also i would consider Vaalstrax to be far more harder than Risen Chameleos. Havent played against any of these monsters before so in first try comparison Vaalstrax was a lot harder. My risen boy just stands still most of the time. Poison isnt also that big of an issue because you have items against it (same point as with traps by non-elders)

No one has ptsd of rajang like I do... had a hunt with friends that he ignored them like they weren't even in the hunt with me and after carting me he ran across the map to meet me at the cap exit carting me instantly as I tried to crawl out the hole

I am 22 years old and laughed when you said "giant ass-butt" when talking about Rakna. Thank you

I solo scorned with only one faint, it felt hard yeah, but it felt like the fun was showing more (but it's probably cause I hunted a ton of normal magnamalo in base game before the DLC)

Love it my man! Keep it up

This dude is obsessed with the end of the day

My brain exploded when you put Barioth as harder than Magnamalo I'm not gonna lie. Maybe I missed it but what weapon do you main?

Barioth & Zinogre were a walk in the park. I struggled with magnamalo, mostly because I was a dumb dumb and started with the hub quests. After the village quest it was not too bad.

I don't have Sunbreak yet as I am on Xbox, but seeing Allmother that low is crazy to me. I've soloed every monster in Rise and she is the only monster that's carted me more than once in one quest. I faced her with a group the first time and I honestly would've agreed with the medium tier ranking if I had only done that but solo wise she was probably the hardest.

Damn my list is so much different. It’s crazy how you think so many of the monsters are easy when I cart 2-3 times per hunt. I have failed so many quests in sun break. It’s been pretty challenging for me.

Apex rathian surprised me the most, more combo than regular but still extremely predictable. And her spikes puts posion for a very short time so you dont need to heal. Despite that, i pretty much agree with all the rest ahah, nice vid.

Apex Zinoger and Rathian also seemed much harder cause of the last versions we got on High rank, those were very much a challenge, but with the new gear im sure theyre not as hard now

This man tripping not putting Izuchi in the extreme tab. Clearly a decently motivated Izuchi can sweep the roster.

I have to be honest the hardest monster for me to fight is zinoger and tigrex but they some how made tigrex easier in sunbrake than rise but anyways yeah zinoger and I have beef but crimsonglow is in my opinion not that hard it has like 3 new moves and a modified move with the later doing it 1ns and slaming it again that's all all you have to do is dodge left right and your safe so honestly I would put crimson glow on top of médium or a new rank médium and half

As someone has mentioned in the comment section. The list really depends on the weapon you choose. I’ll say this, I was significantly surprised when it came to hunting Jyura. He was one of the easiest monster to deal with in World. In rise, it feels like capcom really pushed for him to be way more sturdier and aggressive than he was comparatively. Having said that, he is still easy. I was just surprised he wasn’t as easy as I remembered. Barrioth was a lot stronger in World for me. He’s a pushover in Rise.

Don't have Sunbreak yet but spamming, hyper aggressive monsters like Magnamalo and Teostra for example are always Extreme for me. They get borderline bullshit with their broke hitboxes when they go Gold Crown during the quest especially. Very frustrating and not fun to fight nor beat. Tigrex, Rajang, Diablos and Nargacuga though are challenging, fun and rewarding for me though. I mainly use Swaxe, CB, LS, and SnS. Maybe my list will be challenged and changed when I commit to the Ranged Weapons and Lance more.

21:20 welp, we got a Risen Valstrax now XD

0:12 - 0:17 was probably one of the best transitions I've ever seen.

Played through base Rise recently and the only monster that messed me up and carted me thrice was surprisingly tobi kadachi didnt remember him hitting that hard in world lmao plus he was fast and stunned me into combos The supposedly harder mons than him like zinogre, teostra etc i must have farmed forever so i was too used to them

the risen chameleos has been the only monster in the game that has made fail a quest... like that dude hits hard.

Greetings from Germany! The Monster I struggled the most with was in Vanilla Rise Mitsuzune and in Sunbreak was ist Malzeno. I love both, but my good, they were hard haha

Haven't played Sunbreak or Rise yet but been wanting to get it for some time now. Also, unless you've made a video on this before, perhaps you could also do a tier list on a few of the previous installments in the franchise for difficulty (World/Iceborne, 4U, etc., etc.)

22:10 I had more trouble fighting Daimyo than any other monster, so that placement is crazy to me 💀

Magnamelo probably my fav monster he look real cool and his battle music feel like a epic fight

I find Rathian a lot harder than Rathalos tbh. It may be because I fought both with swaxe in World, but I felt like face tanking a hit or two from rathalos was never that big of a deal, but rathian was constantly stunning, poisoning, and burning me. I also just felt like she was more aggressive in general, but it's very interesting seeing your rankings.

Just started playing MHR on my Series X. This game is freaking awesome!!! I have about close to 300 hours so far and by far Apex Zinogre is my biggest challenge… I have yet to successfully hunt him on my own, and have carted MANY times in co-op. Good stuff👌🏽

3:37 Pukei is a bird wyvern

As someone who fought Rajang the day he was added into Iceborne for MHW, I get pstd flashbacks every single time I see him in rise, even just in high rank

I… really am not proud to admit it, but I genuinely struggle with Chameleos. I’ve committed myself the past few days to purely learning it’s fight/habits but I can’t seem to understand it and I get frustrated and push it away and go fight Valstrax or something I understand 😅

For me personally Barioth is one of the easier ones to hunt, eaven went on farming spree just to make sure it was that easy 😅🙌🏻

For me Chamelios,Barrioth and GosHarag are top easy, used to hunt them for quick cash before I knew the mining route... but Almudron is definitely Top medium or bottomHard tier for me 😥😅.

I love the Digimon World Soundtrack on 23:00❤️

To this day ill never forget playing world (the 1st MH game i ever played) and ran into deviljho. Took me hours to beat him

Liver failure speedrun: take a shot every time this guy says "easy".

Just curious but are you basing these ranks on solo or multiplayer hunts? Also what part of Germany are you from? At least I'm assuming your from there given the subtitles.

22:54 I recognise digimon world soundtrack

Yeah different weapons definitely have a effect on difficulty rating. As a lance main, all the fast monsters like zinogre and Valstrax are a casual rhythm game for me. But when I first fought Seething Bagel I carted 2 times from the aoe. Then I called it BS and switched to LS and barely got hit lmao.

Black Diablos still strikes fear into me even now, it's a shame since Monster Hunter World, I'm sure when she is going to make an appearance in future games, as honestly it was a pleasant surprise, except in the guiding lands where it was hell to hunt her! XD

I think you forgot Primordial Malzeno, and by the universe, I was absolutely demolished by that beast of a creature. Even Lucent Nargacuga and Violet Mizu got easier after a while, but, damn, Primordial Malzeno was a hellstorm.

The Malzeno move set is burned into my brain since I hunted the him so many times to beat him in the demo solo.

Dual blade air spin on tigrex was a nightmare for me 😅

21:20 ha ha ha ha... I'm crying

Interesting to see that your Subtitles in MHR are in German during the Rathian / Rathalos scene

I honestly find Barioth more readable and thus easier then Almudron and Mizu xD Its even easier then Iceborne one I dont like Mizu and Almu...these two are all over the place spinning, bubbling, mudding and jumping and the weps I usually pick dont have much of a counter I even like Zino puppy more then these two :,DD still more readable to me x)

rathian is my personal rival monster. she isn't hard at all, just a nuisance, and that gold rath event quest in the arena with another rathian had me tilted. it was just annoying, and I couldn't focus on one monster at once. I practice on an elder or rajang with a new weapon, since I find them to be less of a nuisance and actually a good learning experience for picking something new up.

Shogun, that god damn crab gave me so much trouble, I never completed the quest and only ended up killing it in an expedition after reaching MR4. Screw those blades, love it still though, both crabby bois.

My list would have the following changes: -Apex Zinogre is the only monster in Extreme tier. -Apex Rathian demoted to Hard tier. -Crimson Glow Valstrax demoted to high Hard tier. -Risen Chameleos demoted to the top of Medium tier. -Violet Mizutsune moved to top of Hard tier. -Flaming Espinas moved to mid Hard tier. -Barioth demoted to low Medium tier. -Malzeno demoted to high Medium tier. -Both Rajangs demoted one tier each. -Seregios demoted to mid Medium tier. -Diablos demoted to the top of Easy tier. -Aurora Somnacanth promoted low Medium tier. -Almudron promoted to mid Easy tier. -Garangolm promoted to bottom of Medium tier. -Lunagaron demoted to high Easy tier. -Seething Bazelgeuse moved to the spot above Bazelgeuse in Medium tier.

I still love the fact that in msh wotld AND rise tge most trouble for me was rathalos its my favorite monster but it was the hardest for me so yeah and also its so hard cause if you dont have fire res then you are dead and that he flies so much is omg so hard

Pretty much all title update monsters are the hardest for me when doing Support Surveys.

Never once carted to Rise/Sunbreak Barioth but I have to Gore. Zinogre is a fight I generally don't enjoy because of his big frame causing weird hitboxes but he's not hard by any means.

Kinda feel like valstrax should be bopped down to low hard. Although with greatsword he is incredibly easy to punish so this might just be a thing of the weapon makes the fight a lot easier

I really liked the icebourne Nargacuga bleed effect. Shame it didn't carry over.

You forgot some of the weapon can't penetrate the armor on heavy monsters in early game.

Gaismagorm is thrashing my ass, I've beaten him several times but almost every other time I try to fight him I get 3 carted by some of his wombo combo explosions and the moves where he swings his whole body around to face you with a giant charged explosion

Malzeno was a menace to fight, he's probably the only monster in the game who made me fundamentally change how I play my weapon, honestly he was so much fun, he 100% deserves to be at in hard tier

Considering that Apex Zinogre goes toe to toe with Amatsu and even shakes himself out of wyvern rideable state one time, I agree with him being Extreme difficulty. Guy's a beast.

Just realized that the subtitels in the Tetranadon cutscene are in german 🤣

Even though it is my most hunted monster in high rank, Magnamelo is hardest for me to predict above primordial malzeno. It doesn’t do as much damage so it’s not hard to beat him but I just failed to counter like 50% of his moves

Imagino que esta es una tierlist de dificultad una vez que ya te sepas al monstruo

I did a A5 investigation with diablos once and died twice to teostra that was the 2nd monster I had to hunt so yeah teostra kinda hard

Damn this guy must be a god if almost all the monsters aren’t hard for him lol 😂🧢

1000 defense + max stun resistance + max blight resistance = All monsters are super easy, afflicted or not.

I always found rathalos easy but its the full body charge that always get me. Honestly and monster with a fully body charge is a headache to deal with. Sometimes i find myself disagreeing with the hitboxes

Playing mh since psp, ps2 version, good game love this game

Rakna Kadaki is a weird monster for me. Every time I fight her it’s a coin toss as to whether she’s a nightmare or an absolute cakewalk. Does anyone else have something similar?

Can anyone tell me how at 0:52 he seemed to lasso the creature with the silk bug? That would be amazing.

Weirdly enough. Great Baggi has given me a fair amount of trouble since I use switch axe Small frame + fast + water equals not fun time

I wonder how many times he said “easy to deal with”

for me barioth and seregios was ALOT easier and in noway the same league as scorned. maybe its because of the weapons, idk - but id never think barioth or seregios was as hard

Sunbreak must make a huge difference because us on system rn are facing some of these monsters & would put them much higher up. Like Zinogre & Barioth I find way easier than Rajang & Baz

What armor set is that in the video for Risen Chameleos?

The fact that apex diablos is basically a bay blade for when its enraged doesnt sound fun at all 💀💀

Afflicted Rathalos would destroy me half the time as a bloodlust hammer player.

Almudan Is the bane of my existence I have tried his village quest 10 times and I have not beat it yet

Im just starting and found lagombi easy as it deals low damage but i got hit many many times. Unpredictable and fast when sliding

one thing thats always funny to me is that monsters that are pretty easy to fight against are super annoying and a huge threat for me. But it's usually reverse for me too. Zinogre and even Apex version is super easy to me where as I dread having to fight Rathalos. To be fair though I am a DB main and hunted dozens of Zinogre to get his full set lolll

I can't believe you did my boy gore like that

Rathian bodies me with her tail like, 90% of the time for some reason. I've never gotten the timing down for dodges and idk why.

Your rathian sticks to the ground? Mine is in the air 70% of the fight doing triple / quadruple backflips

is that the digimon world bgm xD

Tetranodon was one of the hardest for me Until one fight when I suddenly didn’t get hit again and they’ve been easy ever since No idea what changed but it went from worst thing to fight to I-Would-Probably-OHKO-This-If-I-Used-Anything-Other-Than-Dual-Blades in the span of a day with no training

As a cb main. Im having trouble hunting kulu ya ku when on the other hand shugaru is a walk in the park he doesnt kill me tho its just that Im taking more than 10 mins hunting him. Idk why maybe because he moves a lot or I just suck at the game. For me the easiest mons to hunt would be rathian.

Khezu looks like Numb Body from Silent Hill 3

I literally can't handle Azuros at all. I have no idea why but this thing might as well be the final boss cuz i can't do anything to it

Could I ask what weapons you play?

My friend get wemod. As a solo monster hunter I can attest it's not just a cheat engine it's a grinding tool. Cheese your Rathians and your Rathalos for good armor and a good weapon. Then disengage wemod for the most fun challenge of a lifetime.

“Imagjne if there was a risen crimson glow valstrax” so i have some news
