New Monster Hunter screenshots and details cover the Insect Staff, General Sertas
Capcom updated the Japanese Monster Hunter 4 website today with new content for the Insect Staff and General Sertas creature. Continue on below for the latest.
Insect Staff
– Insect Staff can extract energy from monsters and provide Hunter with buffs
– Along with gaining buffs from the extracts, you’ll also be able to mix them up and gain skills to go with the enhancement
– Ex: mix white and orange extracts to create the Insect Staff’s “Double Up” ability
– This grants you Defense Up and gives you the “Earplug” ability
– Earplug ability grants immunity against roars
– “Triple Up” ability: mix three different extracts
– Insect Staff comes with the staff and the attached insect known as the Hunting Insect
– Recent screenshots show that the insect looks like a dragonfly
– Can use other types of insects with the staff
– Insects can be enhanced and evolve into new forms
– Hunting Insects will come with their own stats such as power, stamina, speed, and all the elemental attributes
– Enhance their stats and abilities through specific foods from quests and fields you collect
– Continue enhancing the insect’s stats and you’ll reach certain conditions to level them up
– Insects can evolve into four different types including the speed-type Garuuhel and the power-type Zameel Beetle
Genel Sertas
– Scorpion-like monster from the latest trailer
– Uses tail-pinchers and tough legs to defeat foes
– Doesn’t have wings to fly
– Can release powerful pheromone gasses to attract neighboring Alceltas and use them to fly
– When they’re not flying together, they will still cooperate and attack the Hunters, so you’ll have to keep a close eye on both of them during battle
– Rather than looking for food on the field like most monsters, Genel Sertas consumes its new friend whenever hunter strikes
