Take last week’s Steam Charts, give them a little shuffle, and then breathe out a long, despondent sigh. Oh, and then entirely randomly add an Early Access racing sim. And then start sighing again, and never, ever stop.
In Monster Hunter World the Nergigante is an elder dragon who is covered in spikes. They're on its head, tail, wings—it's just spikes everywhere. So of course, this being Monster Hunter, you kill it then skin it then wear all those spikes on your body. The Nergigante armor set has so many spikes it looks like it was designed by Games Workshop. When Kamui crafted her own (from EVA foam rather than the skin of a dragon) she put 825 spikes onto it. The effort was worth it.
She's not the only cosplayer inspired by this armor set. Kinpatsu created a similar interpretation of it, though without the damnation claws.
Monster Hunter World's armor sets are a big part of the game. Each one is a pay-off for a string of successful hunts and make the next round of even harder monster hunts possible. Each piece of chitin or scale ripped from a beast is a step toward being able to kill bigger and better creatures so they can be fashioned into fashion in turn, a neverending cycle of slaying.
It makes sense that cosplayers would be inspired to spend hours making these outfits in reality after spending hours earning them in the videogame. Broken Blade Workshop crafted a set of Jyura armor, complete with heavy bowgun, carving knives, and gourd flask. His armor looks a lot better than the Jyuratodus it's made from in-game, a blob-featured fish beast with a face only a mother could love.
It's not just the armor that's proved inspirational. The Bazelgeuse, an annoying wyvern that shows up when you're already in the middle of a fight and drops exploding scales everywhere, is the subject of Shyaku's cosplay. True to form, he appears by surprise, although only to photobomb people rather than scatter scalebombs all over the place. Which is presumably why nobody's rendered him down into a suit of armor yet.

With Monster Hunter: World now being out on PC for a fair while, players are starting to get into the later game. However it can still be somewhat daunting for new players who are not as experienced. Console players have had at most a decade’s head start with new things being introduced steadily, though this is being widely seen as an optimised version of the previous games. There’s still a lot of concepts which can seem unnecessarily complex, so in order to ease the new and veteran players in a bit more, this guide will bring everyone up to speed with what to expect in this deceptively taxing game.
So you’ve beaten every single monster in Monster Hunter: World, or so you think. Capcom recently added a returning monster from the other Monster Hunter games, only this version is a lot more savage than ever before. Deviljho – a gigantic pickle with teeth, can be found roaming the many areas of Monster Hunter: World, much like how Bazelgeuse does. The main difference is that while Bazelgeuse is a big nuisance, Deviljho can use other large monsters to batter you with, making it a lot more violent. This guide will walk through how to kill it, tell you what is its weakness, and things to watch out for when fighting it.
DEVILJHO! An oddly fun name to say, though you’ll probably be exclaiming it with a little more panic than that, as this roaming slab of angry teeth and spikes is now wandering Monster Hunter: World. Deviljho presents a new set of problems for those working their way through upper and high ranked hunts – it largely does as it pleases, and what pleases it is fighting everything>.
Deviljho looks like an awful hybrid of a cucumber, a cactus, a crocodile and a tyrannosaur. Deviljho has far too many teeth. Deviljho is probably just around the corner. Prepare for Deviljho.
The PC version of Monster Hunter: World is still a bit behind the console versions, but as Capcom announced today, a free update coming tomorrow will help catch us up. Along with a medley of bug fixes, the update will add a new monster: Deviljho, a hulking brute of a wyvern known for its size and appetite.
Deviljho comes with two sets of high-rank armor and a stylish suite of weapons, many of which are quite strong despite their negative affinity (more on that here). Defeating Deviljho will also unlock the Dragonproof Mantle which reduces incoming dragon damage, prevents the dragonblight debuff, and increases the dragon damage your weapons deal.
To unlock Deviljho, download the update and reach hunter rank 12 (you don't have to finish the story, just the quest that unlocks Pink Rathian), then look for an expedition with an unknown monster in the area. If you don't see one, load into an area and check the map again. Once you find a wild Deviljho, you can either collect its tracks or hunt it outright.
Either way, once you encounter a Deviljho in the wild, return to the research center in Astera and speak to the scholars there. They'll tell you to collect more info on Deviljho, which translates to researching it the same way you did Pink Rathian. Once you fill the research bar, you'll get the special quest "The Food Chain Dominator."
Deviljho can invade high-rank quests and expeditions just like Bazelgeuse, so you'll be seeing a lot of him. If you want to farm his weapons or armor, you can replay his optional quest or collect investigations by hunting him in expeditions. I recommend the latter, since his gem can be tough to get and investigation drops improve your odds of getting rare items.
You can find more on the update, including the full list of bug fixes, in this Steam forum post.
