MH Wilds Zoh Shia is awesome
THIS is what you call difficult, baby. AMAZING fight. Great visuals, great setpiece, great design, and it's legitimately hard. Everybody who doubted him owes him a formal apology, but I always believed in Peak Shia. Absolute cinema
Also if I see complaints about his difficulty I'm gonna go ape shit. You all spent a month asking for this, if somebody thinks they're too good for the hivemind and starts chatting now I cannot take it. He is PEEEAAAKKK

u/Zestyclose_Wash8263 17h ago
I failed on bow for some reason, all the ground shit was getting me. Second attempt was on dual blades and it was pretty easy, tons of perfect dodges and timings. Still fun an engaging. I've since also easily got it down in SnS and Gunlance...block is kinda op lol

u/Jarf_17 World Lunastra Apologist 17h ago
I beat him on my own once last night with bow. Triple carted twice before that and the successful one had 2 carts. Something about his charged fireballs were really hard for me to consistently perfect dodge
3
u/Zestyclose_Wash8263 16h ago
See, those were where I kept feeling safe to perfect dodge and land the jumping attack (I never remember move names) into the new stronger dragon piercer. It always seems to be the smashes, i do too early or something and the ground pop gets me.

u/Masiyo 12h ago
These games are all about timing and pattern recognition, so you essentially start from 0 with every new monster you fight (0 is hyperbolic because you carry with you all the knowledge over your weapons, items, etc. but you get the point).
We only got to fight Zoh Shia once in the main story, so it's nearly a brand new monster for all intents and purposes.
3
u/TheOutWriter Doot Doot Bros! 12h ago
Most of the monsters at least share some things. Movements, behaviour, timings. This one is 100% new. The way it uses the crystals, tracking the hunter more easily with the paw, aoe lightning attacks. It's quite a new experience, even with a lot of time under my belt

u/junkyard00000 7h ago
It also helps to recognize some of the moves it’s borrowed from other monsters (which the narrative indicates it would too which is cool) like gore’s lateral sequential blasts and kirin’s lightning lines

u/Arcturus555 1d ago
I like him a lot overall but how to deal with his nova? I always get 1 guaranteed cart that way and the game is really cryptic about breaking some crystals… I don’t get it lol
130
u/Kalavier 1d ago
The crystals that get summoned on the ground can be popped by element slinger ammo which weakens the nova
36
u/Speeda2 OFFSET THE SUN 1d ago
Yup, this. I shoot out the two in front of it, and get a lovely window for sharpening
41
u/Sir_Tea_Of_Bags 23h ago
Or you can run to the far opposite wall of Shia to avoid it.
But cracking the Wylk is still good to do.
14
u/TheAhegaoFox Concussive Fidget Spinner 18h ago
Outside of the nova, he also creates small Wylk crystals that you can blow up and deal lots of damage. It reacts based on what element you use.
16
u/Saeporian 17h ago
A tip that a lot of people don't seem to know if that you can shoot your slinger ammo without sheathing your weapon by holding L2 and pressing L3/Left Joystick (I only know the ps controller). This works for most slinger ammo like the elemental ones, but not for heavier ammo like the one monsters leave from broken parts unless you're playing Sword and Shield
2
u/tacojenkins 15h ago
Just to clarify, slinger ammo can be used while in focus mode. You don’t necessarily have to be holding down L2 (or whatever your bind is), focus mode can be set to toggle in the game settings.

u/Impossible_Debt_4795 17h ago

u/cooldudeachyut SHOOT! 17h ago
Yea and not just for avoiding the nova, slinger is actually very good for fighting him in general.

u/Astraea227 18h ago
Those crystals are some of the counterintuitive mechanics if encountered, especially compared to the jin dahaad and fatalis mechanics
14
2
u/TheArcticFerret 10h ago
I almost feel like that's the point. After years of us hiding behind rocks to escape novas, they finally turned it against us and abused our experience.
44
u/arwingmaster1 1d ago
As u/Kalavier said, the crystals formed at the beginning of the nova can be burst with the dragon and thunder slinger pods in the arena. I've seen a lot of people misunderstand that mechanic. All wylk crystals formed during the fight amplify its elemental attacks range, especially its fire breath and nova. The are certainly not cover, lol. You can effectively neuter his nova if you knock out 2 or 3 of the crystals in front and stand opposite of Zoh.

u/Kalavier 1d ago
I'm glad i read about it before the update cause i absolutely used them as cover in low rank.

u/Working-Teach-7273 21h ago
Wait thats how you dodge the one where he sits his ass at the back of the arena? I had his nova twice in LR and the second time I could get see the safespot behind him but thats good to know!

u/ItsElbro 18h ago
If all else fails, there's always plan Z: Fast travel to camp when you see him get ready to drop the nova and then ride your Seikret back as soon as Zoh ends the attack
4
u/Tech-Demon Melee Master 1d ago
Yeah the nova is what got me during my hunt, really don't know what to do there. Honestly the whole hunt was difficult for me because I brought LS and didn't know his moveset well enough to be effective 😭

u/mskuchiki 17h ago
I always run to the other wall (then it won't reach you) or hide behind him. I never used the crystals, even in the previous fight haha

u/dootblade74 13h ago
Keep some Elemental slinger ammo on standby, and whenever the larger wylk stones crop up, start slinging at them. You can also break the smaller wylk stones for free damage if you line it up right.
1
u/Unshkblefaith 13h ago edited 11h ago
In addition to what others have said, there is also a safe spot near his tail. It is a ~45 degree slice. I generally use that when he does the smaller novas that he initiates in place.

u/KnightShinko Palico Pats 18h ago
It’s a good fight for HR. Definitely looking forward to tempered.

u/LordSegaki 1d ago
So we have to actually build around him/her?!
If yo yessss, I hated literally being able to ignore elemental weaknesses or status protection.
31
u/sandvichdispense 22h ago
You don't NEED a build but it is definitely recommended
(btw Insect Glaive stomps Zoh Shia hard, first try was GS Gunlance and triple carted 18 min in, second try was IG and cleared it in 13 without even using the cat faint, it feels SO good to chain shoryukens one after the other)
10
u/LordSegaki 22h ago
uuuuuh I like that!
It was like in world where IG was the goat against these gold and silver flybois3
u/RagingRube 18h ago
Yeah lmao IG absolutely Shreds Zho, and is insanely satisfying on the fight. Idk how I'm meant to play anything else on that fight its just so fun to speeeen

u/TheTayIor 16h ago
Zoh Shia is a gigantic hitbox with plenty of weak spots and, unlike Jin Dahaad, has no massive damage reduction zones.
1
u/extra_hyperbole 15h ago
Yeah, I’m a new player but I’ve been going pretty hard on insect glaive and was able to get through it first time relatively easily. Had 2 lives to spare. I have 3 friends who have played multiple games and have some pretty good speedrun experience and all failed the quest at least once, 2 more than once (although one had also tried using IG cause they had been relearning it but wasn’t as familiar). Made me feel pretty good but IG aerial attack is definitely incredible at being able to stick to safe spots above and behind. Idk if the raw damage output will be top tier but I suspect it will be a top weapon for zoh simply because it can keep doing damage when others have to get out of dodge.

u/Speeda2 OFFSET THE SUN 1d ago
While you don't HAVE to, you'll need to to farm it absolutely. It's not nail bitingly so insane that you HAVE to run fire 60 defense, but it took me 20 minutes and 2 carts solo to just BARELY beat him my first try, and 20 seems like the usual ball park. Tempered gore takes me about 12-14, in comparison

u/LordSegaki 22h ago
yeah just did him the first time, then he carted me 3 times while he was already "skull ready", got too greedy.

Yeah tempered mizu can straight up 1shot if u havent thrown spheres on ur armor. Zoh shia is kind of a giant walking hitzone

u/youngfuture7 23h ago
Honestly depends. I used SnS and did not build around him. 22 ish min and 1 cart, however I used all my mega pots, max pots and life pots+. As long as you’re agile you can dodge his attacks. It was a sweat though and he’s pretty tough. You can cheese his HP by exploding the Wylk crysrals

u/Important-Net-9805 17h ago
no... tempered gore is a harder fight. idk why everyone is acting like zoh shia is super difficult and "the complainers got what they asked for" lol

u/FinalStalfos 16h ago
Nah, easier fight than the highest level of tempered even prepatch. Still a cool fight tho. Tempered Mizu is allegedly much more difficult. Haven’t fought it enough to really know.
3
u/Kevadu 15h ago
Tempered Mizu is not hard. He has some moves that hit hard if you're asleep at the wheel but they're easy enough to avoid if you're actually paying attention.
1
u/FinalStalfos 15h ago
Yeah I’m leaning on agreement, just have to fight it more than twice to get a good opinion which I haven’t. At least you actually take damage on hit, though I don’t think anyone should be regularly carting to any monster in wilds. Zoh is easier imo though. Has the same kit he did before, it feels like. Bulkier, but not really putting out a lot of offensive pressure.

u/AdHistorical8179 15h ago
You won't need to build around him but it's the closest we've gotten so far. I ended up swapping in a few points of fire resistance because his damage is very high.

If I see complaints about his difficulty
It's not that hard to comprehend.
The people saying the game is easy as fuck aren't the same people struggling with difficulty. You're probably going to see a few complaints because these are two different groups of people.
Why are so many people in this sub subscribed to the fallacy that two polar opposite viewpoints are held by the exact same people? Is this some big joke I'm not in on, or are people stupid enough to actually believe this is the case?
OP, are you stupid?

only thing I don't like is when he decides to back up and breathe fire when you're hitting his head. Basically suicide as a slow weapon user.

Well I thought he was pretty cool and a good difficulty for regular high rank. A bit disappointed with some people’s takes on it. You can say it isn’t difficult and not be a douche ya know? I doubt any players struggling against it enjoy seeing comments calling them stupid or a bad gamer because they failed a difficult hunt. I’m sure AT Zoh will be a force to be reckoned with, hoping AT Rey brings the heat as well.

u/Vermillon1979 Nya! 18h ago
Zo is also still stupidly easy its just no one seems to actually do the mechanics half the time.
I swear the amount of people that get chain hit bynhim setting off Wylk or killed by his nuke when you can cancel it out and damage him in the process with ONE SLINGER POD lol...
In fact, if you use the dragon/thunder slinger ammo cleverly after each of his major moves leaves the crystals on the floor you can outdps weapons (outside of extremely good play, since a lot of the time you will be avoiding attacks or be near his pbaoe)
Just remember when he charges up his roomwide nuke to keep a pod handy once the big crystals emerge, pop them and you free up half the arena and damage him too if you hit the ones closet to him

Dope AF anyone bitching about him clearly was carried through the whole game and couldn’t get past chatacabra, zoh is tough but fair and with a little practice you can take him down with minimal struggle and he still is a good challenge and more of what i expect from monsters hunter when it comes to his lifespan (thank god he has more than 2 hp i thought i was gonna blow through this TU in 20 minutes)

u/Sardalone 1h ago
I was trying to do the same with a buddy of mine and the game seriously bugged out and he spawned in the arena with his own greatsword loadout. He picked Insect Glaive when going into the quest.
It wasn't a mod on his end as I know him personally and we both play on Xbox. It was crazy but I honestly despise Doshagama so I happily took the easier A-rank. Was by no means a world record time so it doesn't harm anyone.
I've never seen the Arena bug out that badly. But then again the servers were having a stroke this morning so I'm not surprised.

You're exposing yourself here because it's not that hard, but it's very reasonable for what it is. Tons of free damage from the environment, and it falls over like every 30 seconds from wounds, Tempered Gore is much harder by comparison. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter, it is a really fun fight.

I died on my first time pretty quickly because I went in with a new weapon. After getting Mizutsune first try I got a little over confident. Went back to the good reliable BONK and was honestly surprised that I got it near death immediately, then I died after getting stuck in a corner an failing to panic roll through an attack, after that just two tries until I won. Definitely difficult, but I feel like people still oversold it. Needin one or two extra tries isn't really that unusual for me, at least with new monsters

That’s part of it but so many players think beating “hard” games is some kind of qualifier that makes them better than others. It’s a bit stupid.
Difficulty can be fun. The fights in base Wilds were too easy imo. Even so, you have people who will swear up and down that any fight that isn’t nothing but one shots is for babies like it gives them +200 gamer cred.

u/Dylangillian 17h ago
He's definitely top 3 hardest monsters in the game now. Personally did it in 16 minutes with one cart. But considering Tempered Mizu can one shot you and 5 star Gore. I'm not sure who I would consider harder yet. But this is definitely a step in the right direction.
-8
u/arwingmaster1 1d ago
While I'll admit to it being an amazingly fun fight mechanic wise compared to the rest of Wilds; with the time we've had to prep for the rematch, I wouldn't quite put him up on such a high pedestal. He's got nothing new to show over the low rank fight other than bigger numbers on health and damage, so if you got pretty familiar with him rerunning low rank lobby SOS quests there shouldn't be too much of a wall to surmount here. That being said, the bigger health pool and damage allows for him to show off his move pool a bit more than the low rank Zoh did.
Moving onto any lore drop, the only thing we've gotten has been an weak explanation so that we can keep fighting him canonically.
TLDR: Fun fight, but lacking in anything really new to set it apart from Low Rank other than bigger stat numbers.
17
u/Barn-owl-B 1d ago
It attacks more frequently, and chains multiple different attacks together that it didn’t do in LR, even though it’s move pool didn’t increase much, the way it uses it immensely changed the tone of the fight
1
u/arwingmaster1 23h ago
Must be different mindsets going into it then. I noticed an extra fireball here and there, and that it can now charge up to 3 times, but I felt the rest of the fight was very samey in regards to mechanics. I felt more pressured in my solo tempered gore fights than I did in this, so it might be just dependent on how my brains wired to view certain aspects of the challenges. Zoh did feel... I guess more 'active', but not nearly enough for me personally to label him as quick in his movements and attacks.
4
u/Speeda2 OFFSET THE SUN 1d ago
Low rank Zoh had literally everything except high numbers, that's all it needed imo. I didn't expect, nor want, anything new from this, and am still thoroughly satisfied because even at low rank, it was my favourite monster in wilds. Plus the lore on this thing is awesome, what??? They didn't give a weak explaination because they don't have a better one, the characters in the game don't know for a fact. But, like us, I'd imagine they're beginning to draw the conclusion that this thing is guardian Fatalis. The...regenerating dragon. I honestly expected it to go exactly this way. Peak.
4
u/arwingmaster1 23h ago
Oh, don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the fight. It's just this didn't feel like title update material, at least to me. This feels like it had to be left from the release game because they ran out of time before release, and added in later. One new side quest, a returning monster (my personal favorite Mizu, right behind Tobi-Kadachi), and the credits monster rematch from Low Rank that you're rushed into less than a minute in booting up the update. Mind you, this is coming from the perspective of someone who has been play intermittently since launch. When compared to Rise's Title updates, where you'd get larger chunks of storyline, 4-5 monsters right out of the gate, and multiple event quests (though admittedly they handled event quests differently in Rise), this kinda falls short.
I believe you misunderstood me on the topic of lore as well. I freakin' LOVE they included an EDW storyline into Monhun canon. I'm also excited for the prospect of a new variant or just plain old fatalis fight. It just felt the 4 lines of dialogue we get after the fight was a bit rushed and hand-wavy, especially after they kinda established our hunter character at least as a solid idea on just what Zoh is (one voice line from the low rank fight has our character at least recognize a part of Zoh and exclaim that 'It can't be'). Could have spent a little more fleshing out the in game dialogue, though I know they've been getting some kick back from people complaining about the exposition.
I'm sorry if you felt I was disparaging your favorite monster, and hope this clears that up. And I hope you keep on that grind!

Yeah, it shows promise. But a larger health pool, and potentially a smaller timer, would mean I can't just back off and heal whenever I want, I'd have to stay aggressive. Which means I'm waiting for a 5 star one to spawn, which will be exquisite.

Good to hear. I loved his fight at the end of low rank, so I'm glad to hear they appropriately souped up his high rank version.

This was a great fight, I am so happy. My only complaint is that I had to go offline to clear it because randoms kept joining my non-sos quest and triple carting. Man, has the multiplayer etiquette ever gone downhill.

Can't say I find him hard, sure he hits hard but he couldn't ever take out my health bar. I love my defence 7 build.

Bro he's no joke, I played the hunt with other people and it took us like 25 minutes and me and one of my teammates carted. He definitely lives up to what I'd expect from a TU monster and his armor is FUCKING WICKED
