Monster Hunter Wilds‘ Zoh Shia is something of a final boss during the game’s main campaign, which means it was never a particularly easy enemy to defeat.

After defeating Zoh Shia and rolling credits, players enter the endgame, where they face off against even more difficult creatures.

Zoh Shia is back with a vengeance in Monster Hunter Wilds, and this time with rewards up for grabs for High-Rank hunters.
Numerous recent posts on Reddit have pointed out that Zoh Shia is now, most likely, the most powerful and deadly creature in Monster Hunter Wilds. Fans have been busy posting about the large number of times they’ve failed the new hunt, with one person even praising a player for leaving their hunt after being knocked out two times. One person even suggested that gamers fight the new monster solo for a week before sending up flares, as many hunters are unfamiliar with the creature and its deadly attack patterns.
Monster Hunters Wilds Players Are Struggling to Defeat Zoh Shia
The community seems to be split on the difficulty spike, with many players posting humorous memes and others expressing their frustration. Some people have pointed out that this isn’t an unusual trend for Capcom, as post-launch content is often considered to be much more difficult than the base game. Despite the spike in Monster Hunter Wilds‘ difficulty, a large portion of the community appears to be having a great time, with many praising Capcom for introducing more and more difficult monsters to fight.
Theories about the true identity of Zoh Shia have been swirling around the internet since the game’s launch, causing a lot of fans to believe that the monster could be a guardian variant of Fatalis in Monster Hunter Wilds. While Fatalis has been around since the very first Monster Hunter title, it’s nowhere to be seen in the latest entry of the franchise. However, some gamers seem to believe that, during one of Zoh Shia’s later phases, players can see the creature’s eyes. They were quick to point out that its eyes look strikingly similar to Fatalis, meaning the iconic monster could be on its way at some point in the future. With so much to look forward to and another major update scheduled for the summer, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Monster Hunter Wilds.
