Mar 15, 2021 · Advice from 70 Fights with Magnamalo MHWorld I've fought and killed him both solo and in groups, strategy somewhat differs, but here's the basics, I'll start with general advice for Monster Hunter Rise, then the monster, and lastly LS specific comments:

Jul 6, 2022 · Magnamalo is one of the few monsters in base Rise who can keep up with the player, I would suggest running Evade Extender 1 or 2 if you aren't already, specially in Demon and Archdemon mode it's insane mobility and let's you get out of the way of attacks more easily.

In a similar vein, Magnamalo thrashed me in the demo, but I fought him enough to reliably kill him in the demo. And once I came across him in the full game, I absolutely thrashed him, and the credits rolled for a fight that I felt was anticlimactic, but I had sabotaged my "immersion" in the story by thrashing Magnamalo for days in the demo ...

Nov 5, 2022 · The fight itself is obnoxious. I play Lance, so its high mobility consistently breaks my Twin Vine, which makes me lose a quick gap closer, on demand i-frames, and 2 points of guard, which means missing an insta block is incredibly punishing since practically every attack Magnamalo has does incredibly high knockback and chip damage even at guard 5.

I used Magnamalo all through Low Rank, until I bumped it up with High Rank, and from the later monsters of that, I was able to work through the early stages of Master Rank without significant issue (though I have been playing the series for decades, so please accept that little grain of salt). Plus, you get to march around as an explosion samurai.

May 7, 2021 · Ultimately, knowledge of the monster and your own weapon are the two most important things. The more you have of both, the longer you can keep up your aggression, and against Magnamalo that equals free damage as well as knocking him out of his powered up state.

Hub is the normal scaled low rank version of magnamalo with additional scaling per player that joins your group. High rank magnamalo is more aggressive and has a new attack or 2 and master rank magnamalo has completely new attack patterns and moves.

Magnamalo is what I consider a "dueling" monster - you have to learn its patterns and get it down on how to counter and dodge, then push the advantage when it makes itself open to attacks when it misses. Whenever it has hellfire surrounding it, keep the pressure up.

Magnamalo in Rise is the hardest for us alongside Tigrex with his bs hitboxes. I have barely used Recall Kinsect until I had to face Magnamalo. The good side is, albeit not flashy, it's way more useful to keep you alive, and when you transition to Sunbreak there's a lot of attacks you want to make sure to avoid, so it was good Magnamalo made me ...

Magnamalo’s canines are likely the same, brittle, and this is backed up by it rarely ever using its jaws in attacks, preferring instead to headbutt hunters. Claws: In conjunction with the aforementioned saber teeth, big grappling claws would be near mandatory to give these teeth any possibility of usage.
