Those who let themselves be lured into the trap...
Will be whisked away by a swift gale, the embodiment of darkness.
A darkness that does not let its victims go.
As they are slowly drained of their life...
The servants keep providing their master with vital essence.
And once the time is ripe, the darkness will show itself, basking in moonlight.

 

Malzeno General Info

A dragon covered with elegant silver scales. It uses the Qurio to drain the life energy of other living creatures, creeping around at night and attacking its prey from behind. It appears almost regal to start with, but after draining enough energy, it can turn a violent, fresh-blood crimson. This form is known as the "Bloodening" and is widely feared.

The Bloodening will occur after a certain amount of time, leading to raging attacks; end it and get a knock down by hitting the red flashing areas on the arms and neck.

      I love how in the story quest the first location you fight him is in a broken down cathedral in the Citadel. It's like a Dark Souls boss arena

        This anti fun mechanic ridden piece of garbage should never have been designed much less approved. Same as any of the magalas. Frenzy and bloodblight are absolute trash tier game design.

          “To get the monster back to its original state, hunters must focus on Malzeno's exposed chest.”

          That… honestly kind of frustrates me. During the hunt, Fiorayne calls out to “Parts of its body are glowing red, let’s attack and observe,” so I figured it’d be like Magnamalo or Zinogre where you just attack the glowing bits until you knock it out of its powered-up state, so I’d just wail on any glowing part of Malzeno I could. Needless to say, I got to see its super attack every time and just came to the conclusion that I wasn’t doing enough damage.

          Now, I’m not saying the game should hold our hands, but it seems like Fiorayne should’ve said something along the lines of “Its chest is exposed! Attack!”

            Saw Malzeno and Lunagaron get in a turf war and it was incredible, probably one of my favorite new turf wars
