I love all of the Fated Four & Glavenus is my favourite in terms of the fight. If Bubbles is a soapy dance for survival, then fighting Glavenus is a fiery mosh pit for survival. Jumps, slams, spins & bangs, this guy is relentless, pausing only to sharpen his tail. The whole tail thing could have been a nasty gimmick, but it's been used to create some seriously cool attacks & the sort of adrenaline pumping hunt I love best.

I know Capcom were aiming for "Land Rathalos", but I think they got closer to "Fire Deviljho", which really works for me, even when hyper. I've soloed hyper Glavenus once, took 46mins & for 45 of those I was convinced I would fail, especially after my 2nd faint. Damn good fun though & victory was a real buzz.

I only really made the armour because I got a 2 slot handicraft +3 charm, which makes it rather versatile, especially with a 2 slot weapon. The hammer & switch axe are brilliant with sharpness +2, and still pretty good without. I love the demonic look of the gear too.

If I absolutely had to pick a favourite from the 4, it would be Glavenus, but only just ahead of Bubbles & Sparks in joint second, with Gammoth only just behind those 2 and I'm still having a great deal of fun hunting them all to put the finishing touches to equipment. Congratulations on 4 fantastic, fresh, fearsome flagships Capcom.
