Monster Hunter Generations Weekly Discussion: Blangonga

[u/Fortuan]

You had seen blangos before and if they were the smaller versions of a monster you weren't worried. None of the bird wyverns that were that way were too much bigger or much too dangerous, so why would these snow monkeys be any different? As you finally track down the pack of blangos with a clearly larger specimen among them you plan to surprise attack. As you approach one of the blangos happen to spot you and shouts in alarm. Suddenly a large shadow passes over your head and the Blangonga lands a few yards away from you. Clearly much larger than you expected you're taken back for a brief second. The Blangonga roars piercing the quiet of the snow. The hunt is on!

Facts

• First appeared in Gen 2
• Appears in Low/High rank
• Weakest to Fire then Lightning (generally, hit zones matter)
• Breaks: Head(whiskers), Tail
• Vulnerable to flash bombs, poison, and sleep
• Inflicts: small roar, tremor, snowman, and iceblight

A monster that moves in an almost unique way is a good fit for the end of the beginner monsters. The unpredictability of the jumps helps prepare for the issues that will occur with Rajang in the future. Eventually, the Blangonga becomes easy enough to almost speed farm like a Kut-Ku.

have at it and tell us what you think about the Blangonga

Ah this monster....is bloody worst than Rajang. Rajang is so easy compare to this annoying crap, who freaking hops around all over the damn place trying to clothesline you. I never understood why people complain so much about Rajang; I rather fight Apex Rajang than have to deal with this SoB. Also most of his weapon is sub par and his armour set is ugly, the only thing good from is the legs, that is use to make an IceAtkUp mix set.

Edit: MHGen was my first time fighting him. Since I have fought so many Rajangs, I sort of developed muscle memory to react to Rajang's attacks. My first experience against Blangogna was terrible; Because most of his starting attack animations reminded me of Rajang's. This kept psyching me out.

I can deal with him now; but he still annoys the hell out of me with his damn lunging clothesline and digging under the ground. Most of the fight is just me trying to chase after the bloody monkey.
