The Monster Hunter Wilds beta is back with a vengeance, bringing thrilling new challenges for players to conquer. Among the fresh faces is the fearsome Arkveld, the new flagship monster that's sparking both excitement and apprehension among the hunting community.
As the cover star for Monster Hunter Wilds, Arkveld is set to play a pivotal role in players' adventures. The beta introduces a daring hunt for the Chained Arkveld, challenging hunters to take down this beast within a 20-minute time limit, with a maximum of five "faints" allowed.
Arkveld is no ordinary monster; it's a colossal winged creature equipped with electrifying chains that extend from its arms. These chains are not just for show—Arkveld swings them with devastating force, creating thunderous attacks that fill the air with crackling energy. Despite its size, the monster is surprisingly agile, keeping even the most seasoned hunters on their toes.

Veteran hunters are finding themselves frequently carted back by Arkveld's powerful moves. The beast's use of its whips to maneuver and unleash long-reaching attacks is a testament to the game's new technology. One particular move has left players in awe: Arkveld grabs the hunter, roars menacingly, and then slams them down with brutal force.
Arkveld's presence is not without its humorous moments, as seen in a video from the r/MHWilds subreddit where the monster hilariously interrupts a player's meal, proving that the wilds are no place for a peaceful lunch.

The fight against Arkveld is not only visually stunning but also incredibly perilous. While some may find the difficulty daunting, the Monster Hunter community seems invigorated by the challenge. After all, taking down formidable monsters is at the heart of the game, and Arkveld's iconic and fearsome nature only adds to the excitement. The "Chained" designation and its flagship status have sparked speculation among players about the possibility of facing an even more terrifying "Unchained" version in the future.
The Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Test 2 is scheduled for February 6 through 9, and will return from February 13 through 16. During the beta, players can hunt both Arkveld and the returning monster Gypceros, and explore new features like the Training Area and Private Lobbies.
Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch on February 28, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
