Monster Hunter World Player Beats Entire Game Without Using Weapons

by

Summary

  • A player completed the game without using weapons, only emotes, dealing minimal damage.
  • Used Street Fighter emotes like Hadoken and Shoryuken to deal damage.
  • Some fights were lost due to time limits, but the player was mostly successful.

A player of “Monster Hunter World” is said to have remarkably finished the entire game in an unusual manner – without once using a weapon for attack. Although there are various methods players can inflict damage within “Monster Hunter World”, this particular player chose a difficult path, managing to vanquish every monster with nothing but emotes.

Launched in January 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, “Monster Hunter World” is the fifth game in Capcom’s monster-fighting action RPG series. A PC version was released approximately seven months later. The game retains many features from earlier games in the series, like crafting weapons using materials obtained from slain monsters. However, it has also incorporated content from other Capcom franchises, such as outfits inspired by “Mega Man” and “Devil May Cry’s” Dante, and the option to play as characters from other games like Aloy from the “Horizon” series or Geralt of Rivia from “The Witcher”.

In Monster Hunter World, there are 14 distinct weapon categories for players to choose from when pursuing their prey, offering a vast array of hunting strategies. However, one player has astonished the gaming community by completing an entire playthrough using nothing but cross-promotional emotes as a means of inflicting damage. Reddit user UncleAaront relied heavily on the Hadoken emote from Street Fighter, which launches Ryu and Ken’s iconic fireball at monsters for a maximum of 13 damage per hit. The player has posted a video showcasing this unconventional accomplishment, claiming it to be the first of its kind. In the video, he can be heard exclaiming “It’s possible!” upon defeating Xeno’jiiva, the main game’s final boss.

Monster Hunter World Player Hadokens His Way to Victory

During the gameplay, he didn’t delve into all the emotes employed, but instead suggested strategies for others attempting to finish the game using just the emotes available in Monster Hunter World. The Hadoken and Ryu/Ken’s flying uppercut (Shoryuken) were useful in certain areas, even though it had a high stamina cost and dealt only seven damage per critical hit. Moreover, he highlighted the Devil May Cry gun emote as particularly effective, given its ability to dish out 26 damage per critical hit over a 180-degree arc, making it the most powerful damage dealer in the collection.

Some players have wondered how this particular player managed to defeat the giant bosses in “Monster Hunter World” without exceeding the time limits, as emotes don’t inflict as much damage as regular weapons. The player, in turn, confessed that they did indeed lose some battles due to the timer, even admitting two defeats at Kushala’s hands. However, by mastering the art of precise dodging at crucial moments, he was largely able to dish out enough damage with emotes to win most encounters.
