Here's a tidbit that I saw in another video - if you observe Chameleos from a distance in Rise, you get to see the reason for his big flap-like tail. He uses it in certain areas to disturb insects - not Vespoids or Bnahabra, but regular run-of-the-mill insects - and then grabs them out of the air with his tongue, just like the real world chameleon he's modeled after. Once he's done, he'll drop a shiny, and continue on his merry way. I know there's a mod for the PC version that drops monster aggro to zero until you attack them, but I really want Rise Sunbreak to have something akin to the Ghillie Mantle from Worldborne - an equip-able item that basically makes large monsters ignore you until you attack them so you can observe these behaviors up close.
@WolfSoulXIV2 жыл бұрын
Two more things about Rise Chameleos is that sometimes he can perform his big body slam twice in a row to fake out hunters that counterattacked the first body slam (I'm pretty sure he only does it while enraged but I'm not 100% sure) and while he has an area covered in mist, his theme is muted.
@niklasmitfussl26392 жыл бұрын
Rise's Cham has to many more moves than his past iterations that are challenging at first but really rewarding once mastered. Any other fight in different games just felt tedious due to his hitzones and hitboxes. Rise finally cleared them up and made the fight one of the best in the game imo. Great fight.

You didn't mention somethings that in MH2, sonic bomb can only made it semi transparent and both of its breath attacks inflict "vocal cord paralysis" status effect that disable chat, prevent you to communicate with other player. They changed it in Freedom 2/Unite, sonic and smoke bomb can now make it completely visible temporarily. Each one of breath attacks had different status effect, the blob spit inflicts defense down while the gas breath inflicts fatigue/stamina drain.

The thing I always loved the most about Chameleos is how, unlike the other Elder Dragons, he relies on cunning and wits instead of raw power, making his fight quite unique. And for my favorite Chameleos, I guess my vote goes to Freedom Unite's one, since that's the first Chameleos I fought and it brings me a lot of nostalgia, specially his old theme, it's kinda a shame it only played when he was enraged, but at the same time that fact added a bit more of uniqueness to this creature. Love the Rise's version of the theme too, since it fits better with the more agile and stronger Chameleos that he's become now

in MH2 he can be invisible every time even enraged. That makes it the hardest chammy fight I have done. It is way harder than in FU. In your videos you usually ignore MH2 because you think that the monsters are like in FU but that is not the case for all of them. And this is one of the cases. Chammy has also an exclusive effect in MH2 and MHFrontier that makes you unable to use the ingame chat when he throw his liquid. That effect is not in FU.

This was a fun little moment while fighting the blighter back in Freedom Unite. Something i imagine many other people have gone through. So, essentially, i challenged myself to fight all the elder dragons i could find wearing no armour, and using the basic bone weapons, I can power myself with the charms and heal using the best i could make. About 30 minutes into hunting the Chameleos, i was down to 1 mega potion and half health, as i was getting what i believed to be some distance, i attempted to drink the mega potion, only to have it stolen from me. Low health, no potions, i was thoroughly doomed. In any other story i would tell, there's usually a "Ultra Instinct" moment i go through when in a desperate situation, but this is Freedom Unite. Fainted, innit.

When Chammy does that giant circle of poison move, it can sometimes do a fake out and fly outside then collapse circle in on you. Also... Chammy's theme sounds suspiciously something like from a Metal Gear solid game. I wonder if it's on purpose or something, being Chameleos is a stealth reptile. The games would have a mutual collab later on, so maybe they are fans of each other's games.

For a while I felt Chameleos felt off and not on model in Rise. I first suspected he might lost his Chameleon Walk, but thats not it. After watching a full Hunt I realized, he baerly walks at all. He mostly Jumps, or uses some of his physical Attacks for Spacing. This feels off to me, I do like all the new Attacks, but it takes away the very naturalistic Aspect of the Monster. / His Crazy Beam and Stealing. His Beam now has a Hitbox under his Tail, preventing you from dodging it, and Gypceros can steal all Types of Items, like Lightcrystals, Chame only Consumables.

oh so while not enraged he copies khezu lol. a way to find out where he is in the old games when he's completely invisible, like in GU, is to sheath and run, you have 2 sprint animations the normal sprint and the panic run that indicates you are running away from a large monsters and allows you to superman dive. if you see this second run animation he's beind you so do a 180 turn. until MHW, the trio were always together in the games they appeared in or at least having chameleos join in for the g rank but chameleos wasn't in IB so this trend ended. his Rise iteration was was totally worth the wait in my opinion though. i do miss his item theft but i imagine in future games it will be back, as we won't have the spiribird gimmick. him stealing spiribird buffs has a benefit where if they are removed by hitting his head not only can the hunter who lost them get them back but any teammate that runs into the cloud gets them so they are duplicated. a small reward but a nice touch.
