User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Akantor(4th Gen)/@comment-4640052-20150928202925

The Akantor is a very cool flying wyvern, I myself refer to it as a pseudo wyvern, I am not even if anyone else uses this term anymore, but I just can not overlook the similarities that the Akantor and the Tigrex have.

Anyway, it is a great monster, with cool moves and good equipment. I used to destroy it back in MHFU, and now that I got to it on MH4U I had to relearn some of the stuff, the movement and the enviroment it is in make for a much more dynamic battle. I had a little trouble farming the Zelda DLC quest in order to get the Hero Sword, being HR 4 at the time I did not make enough damage to beat the Akantor in the 15 minutes time limit. I finaly did it by using the Clockwork Insect Glaive.

I like how the Akantor remains chalanging, since even with a good armor you can get beaten pretty bad if it combos you.
