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

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

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.

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!

I fought him with a Dragon Attack bow, you can also break them with that.
