Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak 'Flaming Espinas' trailer

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak has been available for a few weeks now, and Hunters have been going toe to toe with absolutely fearsome beasts. The Flaming Espinas is just one of the challenges you’ll come up against, and it could end up being one of the toughest.

In order to help you prepare for the battle, Capcom has shared a new trailer that gives a closer look at the Flaming Espinas. This lets you get up-close-and-personal with the monster in a way that wouldn’t be possible during a hunt.

Flaming Espinas features a brown carapace with red spines, claws, and horns. When enraged, its body is covered in glowing orange veins. It is otherwise identical to the common Espinas. Flaming Espinas is capable of producing larger and more powerful bursts of fire than the common Espinas, and is more resistant to damage. Its most noteworthy abilities is to charge up then launch a large fireball at its feet which explodes into a massive fire storm covering a large radius.
