What Happens If You Hunt Lagiacrus EARLY? 

I actually tried that a couple weeks ago, his health is gated, as in no matter how much damage you deal, itll always stay just before limping ra'ge so you cannot slay or capture it

Yeh, coulda saved you 50 minutes on this one. This Lagiacrus simply cannot die. There's a video somewhere where someone cheated in G-Rank gear and had the monster health shown, it can't go below a certain level.

Gen/GenU does something similar with the village quests where the Fated Four invade. However, in those, they only buff up their health by double. You can kill them, it'll just feel like a slog, especially since the breaks and staggers are the normal low rank values but their total health is high rank values. And, similar to the Lagi fight here, you won't be optimally geared unless you do some hub stuff.

With 3U they added an additional 80 base defence to your character, presumably to help new players but this is a big part of why lagi (or anything low rank really) doesn't hit as hard as you'd expect.

I've killed the Zinogre in Portable3rd and the Glavenus in GU on the first meetings and it always just acted like you didn't kill them but you got some parts early

Ah yes, the infamous invincible Lagiacrus. Even with endgame weapons and everything broken, it just won't die or even limp. Also it doesn't hit hard because of the 50 base defense you have in 3U for some reason, it hits much harder in the original Tri.

MH3U was my first MH game ever. The fact that it's the only MH game to have underwater combat alone just makes me feel grateful that my first MH game was one of the most unique ones in the series. + 2 Black dragons: Alatreon AND only game with Dire Miralis, + Jhen Mohran. This game is such a blast.

Because I always knew this, in MHW, I always assumed that the Rathian you meet upon first entrance of the Wildspire Waste also can't be beaten. And then I always heard Newbies saying "Hah, I beat it right on first sight, it was so easy. Did you?" and I was like "No, I didn't". So you know what? I WENT AND BEAT THAT MF ON ANOTHER FILE, FIRST TRY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITHOUT ARMOR!! BOOYAH!! ... Like, I know even that is not that hard, but it still felt good xD

I remember doing this in MHF2 on the PSP with the Tigrex. Managed to go in no armor and just a LS and take it down in the 20 minute mission you're supposed to hunt PoPo for. I was so young, so many memories.

I remember playing MH3U and every quest of mine took around 40 to 49 minutes, so yeah, I know the pain... Still great video!!! I really enjoyed it, plus it was a nice challange

I guess the next thing is to hunt the Fated Four early in Generations (Ultimate).

Back in freedom unite, portable 3rd, and 3U, I usually wrap up this of kind quest quickly and run as soon as I can to the next area to avoid them cuz killing them is impossible with just low level armor but in MHGU I killed the glavenus, mizutsune, astalos, and gammoth during my first encounter with them at this type of quest using low level armor and just my level 3 iron katana.

When I got to the mission where you had to hunt him down, it took me so long that there were literally 6 seconds left. It was in my beginnings and I was a noob, but I loved that experience xD

I have tried it a few years ago it was fun cutting his tail and then seeing it back when you unlock the lagi on land quest

This is actually already well known for a long while, you cant kill or Cap him.

Quality content. Hi from France, you're awsome. Keep going !

Almost reminds me of the surprise Fated Four in Generations. They each have a quest where they’re invaders and have bloated health, but I’ve beaten all of them. They all were a blast

i remember doing something like this in genU. In a village quest i had to do a gathering quest, however in the Quest was the first encounter with Glavenus (who at this point has a LOT of health) who i was suppose to run from, however i just went Unga Bunga and ended up hunting it, managing to kill it and do my gathering with minutes left of the timer, it was a wild experience.

Does this apply to Tigrex as well in that Popo tongue delivery quest in Freedom 2/Unite? When I first played it I did the intended normal thing of avoiding it. But after clearing it the first time I sometimes I would revisit that quest just for fun with my end game gear and kill that Tigrex in just 1 minute for fun. Could that Lagiacrus perhaps be defeatable after you clear quest the first time? I never revisited this quest in 3U after completing it the time

I never played MHtri or 3U, so I didn’t knew he had infinite health, but, I have played every other MH (except 4 rise) and I do remember killing all the fated four on MHGen early, and no, nothing special happened after that, I’m curious if you can kill Tigrex or Rathalos early on MHFU and MHF1, might as well try for my self, great vid pal, you left me thinking.

AkantoreX did the same in MHFU ages ago. Always fun to watch

Yeah it's common in MH games, they sometimes stop the damages taken by the monster when specific events happen (ex. Alatreon on 75% hp in world) or huge bosses for a big attack.

Do you play on pc or directly on 3ds and record with an elgato?

I got this vid recommended randomly. I know nothing about this game and yet found this vid awesome. Im leaving a comment to help with the youtube algorithm

When I replayed tri on the WiiU, I was hella confused when I did that Quest and didn't encountered the Lagiacrus because I remeber beeing so scared as a child when I played the Wii Version that I almost droped the game comepletely. Maybe it was because the route I took was 1 -> 3 -> 7 -> 8 -> 11 instead of 1 -> 2 -> 5 -> 9 -> 10 -> 11-> but as a child I took the first route too. Idk maybe it was because of cemu

This reminds me of that one time when i've started a new character in GU and beat the Kokoto village Astalos in that double egg delivey quest with bad gear. Took me roughly 28 minutes to beat him,the fight was...bad but i still did it. I was expecting a unique dialogue from the chief...but nah,Capcom is a bit lazier than that xD

I'm glad new generations are curious about delightful MH games, since everyone loves only World 😂 I loved your video, dude, I did almost the same as You, that Moga Lagia is a though one 😺

Love this video!

That's actually good detail 👌🏻 it's like they new someone would try and do that. Now, if someone can hack the game and put g rank at the start of the game and see if it still works, I'd love to see that now!

I tried to slain Lagiacrus in the is quest too in MHTri and the time out. I already know he had infinite health 🤣

I remember trying to do this on my wii when I was 9, good times xD

Played this after I got to G2 in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate a few years ago did this quest with either the sns or the gunlance fainted twice and killed it after it went to its cave and I can't recall the armor I used but it wasn't leather now idk if I killed it because I was playing on the wii or just good bullshinanigans but I do remember killing this specific legeacris I make it my mission to kill the high tier monsters in low tier quests whenever possible call it bull if you want but I can't prove it since the data was corrupted last year I'm sad to say

I remember killing the tigrex in the popo tongue quest back in freedom unite. Just use sleep bombing. Never tried killing lagi in this quest though. Underwater fight was a torture.

I remember an early mission in MH freedom 2 when you encounter a trigrex. Well I used cheats once I finished the game and i tried to beat the tigrex just in case you can get the items early. You can't, I maxed my attack(with 4 slash long sword fatalis was dead) and i couldn't kill it, it was indeed invincible.

Do you play these games on their consoles or do you emulate them?

Sorry for my bad English In other games like monster hunter portable 3rd early zinogre that apear in a bulldrome quest is kinda easy to kill it but is so strange that you can't kill that lagiacrus I don't know 3ds monster hunters very well so is a long shot but in PSP monster hunters (with emulator of course) they have a cheat that show the monster health I don't know if like citra have this but maybe we could see lagiacrus health ?

Would you try this quest with the Fated Four? Apparently their health is just bloated but they can be killed early on

I remember replaying MH Tri a while ago, and got to the lagiacrus quest with the 400z armor from shop (i forgot the name) and the initial SnS upgraded once, it took me a while but i managed to cut its tail off, but then the time was running off and was forced to deliver the stuff to complete the quest, sad to know my efforts were useless since it is invincible, dunno why they did this, in MHFU tigrex is killeable in the popo mission, in MHP3rd the zinogre is also killeable in the bulldrome mission, why did they do it in Tri then?

In MHGU before. I restart my whole save just to hunt Glavenus in mushroom picking quest. I'm kinda veteran in MH so i craft staff looking LS it has highest affinity and longest green sharpness i got, and ups my armor i dont remember what armor it is. i brought all what i can gather in lowrank map and ate food with skill encountering weaker monster, i did it with 10min or less remaining time. But the loots i get even i captured it is less than 10 loots.

Same as some others, I fought and beat the Glavenus on first contact too. Captured it though, because of the fight. I main axes, and several times though that fight, I ended up moving in sync with it, rolling forward under a jumping swing, doing a side hop dodge at the same time and matched direction. Multiple things just timed so well that when he nearly carted me before going to a new area, my reaction was ‘Oh, so I have to learn to fight myself, okay.’ It just read my playstyle at the time so well that it felt like facing another axe user. Not every blow was with the sword, nor with the axe. So when it winded down, I got carted once, and it had limped off a few times. Couldn’t bring myself to kill what felt like an equal at the time, so I set a trap and captured it. Let it live to fight another time, it might not end the same way in a second round. Then I played great sword for the first time and realized it better matched that than the axe, but still. First impressions.

Saw your best and worst dinosaur games video on your old channel, and I gotta say it just in case. You really should check out Fossil Fighters on the DS. Both it and its sequel (Champions) are some of the *best* dinosaur games, both for DS and just DS games in general.

Can you try with online stuff or something like that so you can try with 600+ def and 800+ raw ?

when i replayed tri for the 4th tiem i knew i wanna get his armor set so i tried to break his horn in this quest, and it worked, i got a lagi horn🐊

I had Monster hunter freedom unite on the psp and had the quest a sinking feeling where the Tigrex that throws you off the cliff in the starting cutscene shows up. The psp has a cheat option that gives you up to 64x damage. I was easily able to defeat it and once I passed the quest nothing happened. 😕

My favorite monster (the one that caught my attention when I never heard of Monster Hunter in the past) and it's never been brought back :c

I've done the same with the glavenus in mhgen, it is possible to kill it early with early game gear as i got it to limp but it nearly literally the entire 50 mins and i was trying to kill it. Had I brought tranqs and a trap i coulda captured it.

I made the mistake of doing this in a replay of Gen U, and forgetting that I was on a Mushroom quest in the intro to Glavenus. Got it limping in the end, but the monsters in those quests are so bloated and hit so hard for the time you get to them that I lost all my healing items and had to gather inbetween. I hate that fight, too. Sadly I timed out. But yeah, bizarre that they made this one impossible to kill, since I think its the only quest like this like this?

You can on mhfu when you first encounter the tigrex if I remember

weirdly, this is the first time in almost 20 years of monster hunter i've even seen the time over thing happening ( heck i forgot time limits exist XD )

I bullied glavenus on the shroom gathering quest in generations. I cut off his tail and broke everything else, but it wouldn't let me kill him.

I tried to do this in MH3 with the bowgun, since it was the only weapon capable of penetrating its hide at that point. And in Tri, it actually did start limping. But it did so after 10-15 minutes, and when it still wasn't dead over 30 minutes in, I concluded it was simply immortal in this quest. 🤷‍♀

I tried to kill him in 3u but It was really like tanky, I broke all parts but he didn't even weakened

I learned this the hard way a loooong time ago.

I tried doing this with the fated four but I’m not actually good at the game so I have no clue if it’s possible on them

I did this once with the Zinogre appearing for the first time in Portable 3rd. Apparently after P3rd, they learned their lesson lol.

aye think you can take on tigrex early??? always wondered if that could be done

when i was little i used to cry when i did this quest

I'm also curious at that quest at that time, and even tho i use cheat to fight it, i fight it until timeout and he's not even limping. So yess, he's invincible for plot purpose.

As a person who normally uses ores to make strong armor early I saw that lighting weakness a mile away

I tried doing this in Tri, and i felt like they made it impossible on purpose, as eventually it just ran away, and was impossible to kill, but the fact you can get a better weapon than White rarity makes it much easier, as you literally couldn't get R3 or higher weapons until you were around Caedeus from what i remember.

When Lagi pulled up on the quest, the Joseph inside me immediately went full _NIGERUNDAYOOOOO_

The same happened to me when I tried to kill the Tigrex from the popo tongues in MHFU. I even used cheats to try to kill it, but it never died

I did this quest in mh3 too, with the best low rank set possible for damage with a fire Lance and andrenaline... It was enough strong to interrupt lagia very often... But this lagiacrus has infinite health The only way to confirm if this lagia has infinite or simply hundreds of thousands of hp it to use end game gear of master rank... I would like to see you try

Not sure if I remember correctly but I think it was possible to kill him in MH3 though much harder because in mh3u you have 80 base defense

I sort of hit MP right off the bat so when I did this I was way over kitted XD

I never tried to kill the Lagiacrus at this stage, but I did try to cut the tail at the very least, which I managed.

ah yes, the quest that gave me ptsd... (and my love for MH but... yeah...)

yep, he's invincible indeed

did it years ago on my psp. hp gets stuck somewhere. but you can break every part of him.

Yeah at least you can do this with mhw. Hell you even have access to an event quest for pink rathian before the story

i made this mistake with glavenus in generations. i timed out on his quest. i was mad

Ya I tried that before same thing. I even focused on online to bypass all the village quests then came back and same thing.

I did this with 3 ultimate zinogore where I somehow broke its claw and got it limping. The quest timed me out though.

I did this on my first playthrough and was so upset I timed out. I did not know for sure that he was invincible though, I thought maybe my damage output was too low.

Same thing goes with Glavenus, thought the early one with a palico and he just refused to limp

I always thought about the consequences of actually being able to kill the Lagiacrus. In story youd have solved the villages apparent issues immediately making like half the village quests pointless. MH4 solved it pretty nicely with the Seregios where the Caravan leader just calls you back to town to save you.

As other have pointed out it cannot be killed. Same thing with Tri Lagiacrus and I believe MHFU Tigrex as well, although It's been awhile since I've tested Tigrex and stopped testing ever since MH3U Lagi if it was possible to kill the early story mon.

What if you set up a trap, and then do enough damage to capture him?

Funny that the same quest exist for mhp3rd where you are killing bulldrome and zinogre appears as warning monster, in the game you can kill him and no new dialogue appears.

you can break its bodyparts for some early lagiacrus materials

Well, at least Tigrex during the Popo Tongue quest was at least killable

is this an emulated Tri? Why does it look HD?

I do this every time a rath shows up. Or tigrex in rise.

At least you got some tail.

I did this quest with endgame high rank gear in Tri. I could have told you he's unkillable/uncapturable in this quest.

I tried this with the Anjanath in world during an expedition and I got it to limp but then it left the area

You can slain the Tigrex in MHFU early though !

If I remember correctly, in generations, you can defeat the glavenus the mission he comes to bother, but nothing special happens if you do so

can you imagine water combat in the new games

The fight was beginning to Drag-on?

not sure but i think this was the only time capcom made the flagship boss unbeatable early on and people hated it. they didnt do it for tigrex in fu or zinogre in p3rd at least but beating either is very hard considering how much damage they do.

You can actually come back after finishing the game and realize, with alatreon armor, that lagiacrus is invincible

Back then my brother told me I should go beat it XDD glad I didn't waste time on that

To be fair, I managed to take down a Rathian and a Rathalos early with a Defender Switch Axe; best investment of my time ever... even though there were a few times I was just a razor thin line away from choking.

7 yo me shat himself when lagiacrus popped up

You can't, sadly I tried that *way* back when in Tri, but it was kind of nice to get part break rewards....? Well not really, unless you accidentaly kill him before breaking his horns...

Does someone know the song at 1:25 ?

I killed tigrex in mhfu on psp in First Mission when i Made Second character

I actually run that quest early a few times because if you can break parts and then complete the quest you get some free hunt parts. It takes FOREVER to get enough to make anything useful, but it still gives a feeling of satisfaction because you can eventually grind up the full armor set before you have to hunt the Rathian.

Try to play monster hunter freedom unite with starter set only and check if you can reach 5 star My brother did it when we're playing together and I'm still amazed until now
