User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Lavasioth (5th Gen)/@comment-26826688-20180701192105

It's weird not hearing the MHFU volcano theme against Lavasioth, or fighting a 2 story tall Lavasioth.

Like others have said, Lava is probably the most avoided monster in the game for a good number of reasons. Too much of a chore to fight and his materials are quite useless. Lavasioth always had subpar equipment but it feels more noticable in this game. His armor design is still one of the best tho.

He's harder in this game, not just because of the super fireball, but because hes overall faster. Lavasioth's only strength back then was his massive size, so the devs had to resort to super armor and one-shot fireballs to make him hard.

I still like Lavasioth because you can't just Unga-Bunga your way to victory in this fight, but I kinda miss his old moveset.
