I love how they explain leshens being so much stupidly stronger in MHW than in Witcher because of how much more rich the forest is in MH than it is where they're normally from. It's the little details. *Also the fact that no one in MHW gets the idea to use silver weapons against it, nor does Geralt think to share that little tidbit in the first place, thanks Gerry.*

What the Leshen’s true motive was confounded Geralt. That the young children, women and brazen men of the village feared and hated it seemed apparent, but the elders and hardiest hunters revered, even so far as worshipped the creature. Surely, thought Geralt, if the Leshen wished to expand its territory at the expense of all humans in the village, it would have done so. Long ago. No, this Leshen was different than the others he had encountered in the wilds. Harald had spoke of a pact made long ago, of offerings to please the spirit. A trial for the right to exist in its domain. The Leshen had been here first. Was this Leshen the oldest of its kind? Perhaps the oldest being to inhabit this world? Geralt observed a fir, twenty meters tall, at the least. Surely the Leshen was older than this tree. Three crows, two black and one pale as snow perched in its branches. The pale one seemed to meet Geralt’s eye and emitted a call, totally unlike that of a crow. Was it a warning? A challenge? A greeting? Geralt understood. This forest wasn’t the Leshen’s domain or territory, the forest was its garden. The trees it’s children. This Leshen would not die today, nor in a hundred hundred of years. Geralt closed his eyes and lowered his head, in respect and in acceptance of the Leshen’s will. Before he could open them, the sound of baying wolves split the forest’s eerie silence. The Leshen’s terms accepted, the trial had begun. Geralt drew steel rather than silver, and began the dance.
@@Idmtbh124 I find it especially clear when in Kaer Morhen quest where you go with Lambert and meet trolls, Lambert is surprised when Geralt suggest peaceful option. ,,We are witchers, duh, we kill monsters". Nope, you are a judge first, executioner later; if monster is not dangerous, then you should explore peaceful options for coexistence to happen. In whole playthrough I didn't spared only Morkvarg, because in his case it was obvious he would go back to murdering and killing people left and right, he understood nothing.
@@exquisitecanineaficionado This right here. It goes to show that Lambert isn't really that good of a witcher, as if his personality and attitude towards everyone else wasn't enough to show that. Witchers are suppose to be calm, collective, and neutral. They do not always kill first, especially when it comes to monsters that are sentient enough to reason and communicate.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 lambert exposes himself on the path with geralt. He rather had a life he chose, be it as miserable as it could be but being a witcher solved nothing dor him. In the end he comes together with that sorceress so happy end probably. In any way he lost his protegee, someone he cated about, he killed his father who abused and violated him. His character is totally plausible. Loyal but cruel and unforgiving.
I have never played MHW, but sll these comments saying how incredibly difficult the Leshens were in it makes me incredibly happy. They were one of the few monsters i was disappointed weren't super powerful in W3, so seeing how they did these badass creatures right in a different universe does my heart good.
@Cussundria Kneal You wont believe from 100party with HR 100(level) players only 1 party that can complete the quest (on my experience) i only done this quest once , FYI acient leshen in MHW got 65K HP+ while players one hit only deal 30-100 damage (more if u use Great sword) and it can Teleport then do 1 Hit Kill with root while u will fail the quest when ur party Dead 3 times
Yeah, Ancient Leshen was like your ultimate challenge in high rank Monster Hunter. Hell, it still hits hard even when you're wearing master rank armor XD
@@thatonefool0215 bro I know right. I fought him with my master rank gear to get revenge, and he still did decent damage and THOSE DAMN CROWS WITH THE TICK DAMAGE
Witcher 3: "Aww Yeah, getting pumped up >:D" *draws sword* Meanwhile, on another distant game: "WELL COME ON ALREADY" *Trying to sit down while you're bleeding AND stunned, with 8 Jagras jumping at you and leshen casting roots from far away*
Not gonna lie, my first encounter with a Leshen in Witcher 3 was at level 10, trying to do the Griffin School treasure hunt. I saw random roots shoot out of the ground and was like “okay, weird”. Then I go into the grotto and a Leshen teleported in and cornered me lol
The Leshen's are probably some of my favorite monsters in the Witcher series, if not of every kind of media. They just emit mystery and power, just one look and you can tell these creatures are older than most things, they've been there, seen it and survived it. It usually feels like such a shame having to kill them, so if it can be avoided i always try to spare them.
I feel like my favorite kind of Leshens that started out as Windego’s like the ones in the DnD universe. Not only to they control a large section of wildlife, but their also able to manipulate it in order to catch and devour humans and non-humans in large masses. These Windegos are also the most sentient, making them increasingly terrifying.
Agreed. I always let the Woodland Spirit live just because of how much I like Leshens. I think some of their mystique stems from the fact that they’re based on real world mythology.
You know, even if you fight this Ancient Leshen for half and hour or more, it's still so worth it because of THIS soundtrack, so enchanting and awesome!!!!
Really? I never played The Witcher but I did play Monster hunter for several years. And I must say I love this theme! The regular one on the orher hand...
@@minhnguyen5888 what you said. Leshen was a joke in Witcher. Kind of tough but nothing a decent gamer couldn't handle. In Monster Hunter? Ancinet Leshen? That shit will fuck you up. Doesn't matter how strong your armor is. Great collab though. I always dreamed of fighting a Witcher Monster in MH.
Witcher 3 version: Hard boss, nothing to overcomplicated if you know what you're doing. Pretty fun fight with good music to boot. MHWorld version: Extreme Behemoth, Arch Tempered Kulve Taroth, and Arch Tempered Xeno'jiiva check their closets, beds, and dressers for one of these.
Honestly ancient Leshen is not as hard as extremoth purely because there's no ecliptic meteor. Took me 3 tries with randoms. over 50 attempts for extremoth and still not done yet.
nah ancient leshen is more annoying than hard. My only complaint is that it's root attack animations are so similar to each other that it's hard to distinguish whether it an aoe or not before it's too late.

Well you can also hear a little bit of the small arena theme from Freedom Unite in it. Never played the Witcher 3, but I know where part of the theme comes from. And I'm here for it. Hell, it even plays during the fight with King Gajalaka, fittingly.
i was in the dragon slayer's grotto searching for the Griffon gear and as im oiling my silver and poping a dose of Cat to fight the Ekimmara, a fucking level 20 leshen roars behind me and im freaking the hell out cuz this thing is 9 levels higher then me then fucking dies of poisoning cuz its stuck in the poison gas. after that i walked out of that cave with a leshen mutagen and griffon diagrams. i was one happy Witcher.
Leshens are cool monsters. Theres two contracts on them, one in Velen and one in Skellige if you want to see them. They can also be found randomly in forests
@@alextronic4503 I remember I was hunting this Griffin gear in that abandoned tower and a leshen teleports and surprises me while I am in that cave of noxious gases before the vampire. Not only it was way higher in level than me but I also had to be careful not to choke or explode to death. EPic
haha .. same .. I was searching for this theme for days now .. .I haven't played that game but I just love its tracks.. every single one is a piece of brilliance
Blasphemy! Play it NOW!!! --- All jokes aside TW3 is my favourite game ever its ridiculous how good it is, espeically if you have played the previous games or read the books.
I came here after facing the Ancient Leshen in the recent collaboration of Monster Hunter World with this game. Amazing ost I'd say after hearing it during the hunt with this spirit in MHW.
Somehow everytime i fight a leshen i feel so inferior. Its Like theyre the oldest beings in existence, tending to forests and trees and everytime theres a leshen problem, i feel like WE'RE the problem in truth, were the ones going in ITS territory, cutting down forests, scarring the land and then the forests fight back 😰
Well, yess, we are the problem. Leshens are essentially gods of their respective forests, so I would think they do not like their homes and shrines destroyed by humans.
some people just can't resist the opportunity to be a troll, that or they were so drunk they accidentally hit the dislike button and they forgot they watched the video.
Now imagine if that leshen near Novigrad grew old as well and marked someone from the city. You'd have to purge harder than the eternal fire priests in order to kill it.
The eternal fire's belief, eskewed and fanatical as it might be in its current form, do come from the real danger of monsters in the Witcher's world. The witchers and its many schools would not have been needed if the world as it is is not that dangerous - and seeing how necrophages and Hags will literally enter homes to steal children while real ghostly entities will kill anyone who enter their forests and one will see why Geralts ilk and extreme beliefs are needed to exist in such a world.
@@endmymiseryyy7908 you wont believe how hard it is for even Find 4players that can complete this mission , i only got 1 party this month that can beat it , 1 fuckin party from 100party that tried and failed
The witcher 3 is an eternal game, a timeless masterpiece from history to graphics to music (I still remember the soundtrack of skellige, not to mention that of novigrad or velen, they are all masterful pieces). in this game everything is close to perfection (apart from the Combat system, which I really appreciated). I mean, I finished this game a few weeks ago (including all the dlc's) and I am constantly homesick for skellige, for Toussaint .... the witcher 3 has been an epic journey, which I will never forget.
Ah the monster that finally convinced me that something was wrong with my HDR configuration because everything it did blend into the background... Sure enough, needed to adjust a few options and finally saw what it was doing...
To this day, I still don’t quite know if killing it was the right thing to do considering the stances of the parties in the mission, and that to me is fantastic storytelling. Giving you the option, laying out facts, and letting you decide, for better or worse, it’s what the Witcher 3 does remarkably well to me, that so many of these side stories still stick with me so vividly. As for its appearance in Monster Hunter, I’m still seeking therapy to this day.
My first one was on Monster Hunter the after this, i fought the Ancient Leshen and boy this hunt was really tough, it's like fighting the Whole forest with this song, he gave the sensation that now is really angry, really hard to fight but the boss is way too cool. GLORY FOR ANCIENT LESHEN
I'd've loved if they implemented another monster or two from the Witcher world into this game, imagine if the likes of a Fiend or a Basilisk made it's way in. I'd love it if the Witcher world took in a MHW creature as well, I can imagine the fun Geralt would have hunting a Rathalos or Odagaron.
The intro really remind me of "Cutthroat Terror on the High sea". Well it's fitting though cause that is pirate game and Skellige is a land of raider, Viking and Pirate.
Interesting thing here: The violin parts are not only present in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or Monster Hunter: World but also in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite small arena theme as well. Play this theme at 1.25 speed, it’ll match the small arena theme. Vice versa if you play the small arena theme at 0.75 speed to match this be as well. At this point I’m expecting a remix
My first playthrough I just arrived in skellige trying to get the griffin enhanced set there, I found an where cyclops resides and whenever I meditate he respawns. Great place train and unlimited amounts of cyclops eyes and tint amounts of exp. I love this music whenever to turns up that's why I keep fighting the cyclops there
I made sometimes ago a Dnd game were me and my Friend were both bards. He would have played this Song, while i played silver for Monsters at the same time
Well, now that World is done, we can officially grant Ancient Leshen the crown of "beefiest monster of the New World". It has more hp than the freaking Fatalis...
Ah out of all the monsters creatures in the witcher universe the leshen is just my l time favorite idk why theres something about the leshen that gives me the creepes
The Witcher 3 A.Leshen : Super EZ with proper weapon. needed only 2 minutes MHW A.Leshen Solo : 20 minutes. Need META but enjoyable. MHW A.Leshen with randoms : "Help ! i'm pinned down " " anyone has lifepowder ?" " Sorry..." "Don't Sweat it ! " " Oh No ! you've been Marked ! "
Funnily enough, humans in MH are actually pretty genetically enhanced too, being descended from basically ancient super soldiers. This is why they can lift such heavy things with ease and survive extremely deadly attacks, like Nerg's Shrapnel. Granted, the Armour staves off most of the damage but if a normal human was put in that Situation, no amount of Armour would save them. But other than their Strength and increased durability, they're nowhere near Witcher Level. Magical Signs, Increased Toxicity Resistance which allows the consumption of potions that would normally destroy a normal person's body, years of rigorous and sometimes brutal training and an extended lifespan. I guess it all boils down to the Magical Aspect of things and which side has more advanced technology.
@@thewhompingwampa2671 Don't forget though, while it is possible to solo this fight in MH, it's clearly not designed with solo in mind. This is supposed to be a monster so fierce, it takes an entire group of hunters to take it down, where in The Witcher, Geralt's enhancements make it so he can solo it, at great risk even still. But I agree, even Great Jagras would require a Witcher in The Witcher game. But our Hunters are on another level from those regular people in that universe.
@@GoodNight0wl True that. Leshen is basically the new Behemoth but he's what that Oversized, Steroid obsessed Pitbull looks under his bed for at night.
I think during the fight against regular Leshen, Geralt comments on the Leshen being unusually powerful, and theorizes that it could be because the Ancient Forest is absolutely abundant with greenery (and potentially the energy of the Everstream flowing through it). Considering this, the Ancient Leshen might've been so powerful it'd make sense if it can floor hunters easily, possibly even Geralt had he stuck around to see it.
I remember wandering in the forest in Velen and suddenly i saw a leshen in front of me it was so fuckin scary and my level was low so i had to run i tried to go back to fight him when my level became higher but i didn’t find him:(
There are 2 wandering leshens in velen. Might even be the same dunno. 1 is close to the village where you can meet leto. The other is at the dragon cave where griffin set is hidden. That one got me good the first time i explored that area. First i saw a slender shape disappearing right behind a tree in the distance. I walked there slowly but could not see any thing. Then i turned the camera and he used his root attack right beside me. I was scared and died since i was lvl 8 and he is lvl 20 or so. Most amazing monster, unfortunately very harmless once you know its patterns.
I love how they explain leshens being so much stupidly stronger in MHW than in Witcher because of how much more rich the forest is in MH than it is where they're normally from.

Well you can also hear a little bit of the small arena theme from Freedom Unite in it. Never played the Witcher 3, but I know where part of the theme comes from. And I'm here for it. Hell, it even plays during the fight with King Gajalaka, fittingly.
Skellige by far has the best battle themes...
Having finally fought Ancient Leshen in MHW, I don’t think I can ever replay the Woodland Spirit contract in Witcher 3 without having PTSD again.

i literally bought tw3 because of this moving tree
@@BigGruntWife Moving tree? Understatement of the decade 😂
It took me about two minutes to kill it in MHW
@@sebastianbaker58 I bet you did it with a high level character. Leveling your character really makes a difference in game's difficulty.

Ha! Hee Hoo!
Surely I can't be the only one who hears "fool, begone"
Heh, hway, hoo.
@@albinogingerblackman7739 So you too can talk Leshen... interesting.

Witcher 3 - challenging but fun
MHW - **vietnam flashbacks**
i was in the dragon slayer's grotto searching for the Griffon gear and as im oiling my silver and poping a dose of Cat to fight the Ekimmara, a fucking level 20 leshen roars behind me and im freaking the hell out cuz this thing is 9 levels higher then me then fucking dies of poisoning cuz its stuck in the poison gas. after that i walked out of that cave with a leshen mutagen and griffon diagrams.
i was one happy Witcher.
Every fucking times u see weather changed, there is a leshen lurking nearby.
Except one time, one time only with Kaer Morhen's Chort.
i have never seen a leshen and im 76 hrs into the game...
Leshens are cool monsters. Theres two contracts on them, one in Velen and one in Skellige if you want to see them. They can also be found randomly in forests
Chort means Devil in Russian btw :)
@@alextronic4503 I remember I was hunting this Griffin gear in that abandoned tower and a leshen teleports and surprises me while I am in that cave of noxious gases before the vampire.
Not only it was way higher in level than me but I also had to be careful not to choke or explode to death.
EPic
A Chort around kaer morhen!?
Where?
Looks like I missed something...
in witcher 3: that was a nice boss fight
in MHW: dude what the F going on?
haha .. same .. I was searching for this theme for days now .. .I haven't played that game but I just love its tracks.. every single one is a piece of brilliance
Ali Danish same
Blasphemy! Play it NOW!!! --- All jokes aside TW3 is my favourite game ever its ridiculous how good it is, espeically if you have played the previous games or read the books.
Jason Brody is sneaking around those jungles, chaining stabs in the back on the bandits.
Exactly, good too see I wasn't the only one who noticed the chanting was used in Far cry3 as well.
I came here after facing the Ancient Leshen in the recent collaboration of Monster Hunter World with this game. Amazing ost I'd say after hearing it during the hunt with this spirit in MHW.
Best vanilla theme with a pic of best monster.
Best monster to me is Morvudd, that giant zebra beast
Btw, "Morvudd" is "Enemy" in Nilfgaardian, I think
He comes close second, but he's lacking in the creepy and majestetic department.
I played both the Witcher 3 and Monster Hunter World,and i have to tell you:He wasn't much problem in TW3,but he is absolute evil for a non-witcher
My absolute favourite theme song from the witcher franchise. So primal
Somehow everytime i fight a leshen i feel so inferior.
Its Like theyre the oldest beings in existence, tending to forests and trees and everytime theres a leshen problem, i feel like WE'RE the problem in truth, were the ones going in ITS territory, cutting down forests, scarring the land and then the forests fight back 😰
Your comment reminds me of Geralt’s monologue about human expansion in Witcher 3
Well, yess, we are the problem. Leshens are essentially gods of their respective forests, so I would think they do not like their homes and shrines destroyed by humans.
Zero dislikes, nobody can hate on this epic music
one dislike :|
+aninsvet damn who did that, yesterday there where zero dislikes. There are haters everywhere
You jinxed it! :)
unfortunately, people will be people
some people just can't resist the opportunity to be a troll, that or they were so drunk they accidentally hit the dislike button and they forgot they watched the video.
Witcher 3 player: This is where the fun begins..
MHW player: Why do i hear boss music?
Now imagine if that leshen near Novigrad grew old as well and marked someone from the city. You'd have to purge harder than the eternal fire priests in order to kill it.
The eternal fire's belief, eskewed and fanatical as it might be in its current form, do come from the real danger of monsters in the Witcher's world. The witchers and its many schools would not have been needed if the world as it is is not that dangerous - and seeing how necrophages and Hags will literally enter homes to steal children while real ghostly entities will kill anyone who enter their forests and one will see why Geralts ilk and extreme beliefs are needed to exist in such a world.
I came here after getting pwned over and over again in Monster hunter world.
Witcher player smiles drawing their weapons
MHW player: Frick this I’m out
Exactly,but boy do i love the feeling of a good battle
To kill or not to kill a leshen...
Cristián Paris definetly kill, too much fun.
Why not?
I choise not killing beacose if kill., Wolfs destroy village and all people
wolfs? did I miss something?

Burn. Burn. Burn. Burn. Bring down the wrath of Hemdall 'pon them.
You are a fucking legend for uploading this, this is my favorite combat track in the whole damned game.

fighting AL with a CB is goddamn hard
Congrats! :)
@@GoldenPhoenixGaming thx m8, though idk if it was worth it because of the stress it caused me :v
@@endmymiseryyy7908 you wont believe how hard it is for even Find 4players that can complete this mission , i only got 1 party this month that can beat it , 1 fuckin party from 100party that tried and failed
Would be great to hear Draig-bon-Dhu singing the "Ballad of the Witcher Gerd" once :-D
"Nice song, what are the lyrics?"
BOOM, HEEYAAHH!
The witcher 3 is an eternal game, a timeless masterpiece from history to graphics to music (I still remember the soundtrack of skellige, not to mention that of novigrad or velen, they are all masterful pieces). in this game everything is close to perfection (apart from the Combat system, which I really appreciated). I mean, I finished this game a few weeks ago (including all the dlc's) and I am constantly homesick for skellige, for Toussaint .... the witcher 3 has been an epic journey, which I will never forget.

Hah, the two leshens that exist in the main game both disliked this. lel
nem tudom there are more :)
Ehhh, the two only?..
There are random leshens in the game.
there are dozens off us! dozens!!
>leshi are best girls.
goosebumps. damn i love this battle theme
To this day, I still don’t quite know if killing it was the right thing to do considering the stances of the parties in the mission, and that to me is fantastic storytelling. Giving you the option, laying out facts, and letting you decide, for better or worse, it’s what the Witcher 3 does remarkably well to me, that so many of these side stories still stick with me so vividly.
As for its appearance in Monster Hunter, I’m still seeking therapy to this day.
Skellige... the complete opposite of Toussaint.
I'm looking at swordfights in Nordic landscapes but this music puts me on a pirate infested tropical island.
_Do you know the defenition of insanity?_
My favorite monster in the witcher 3
gn019202492000 I’m surprised that the Ancient Leshen didn’t curse anyone in MHW like the one in Witcher Skellige.
This is actually a really good workout song.
Channel that primal instinct!
Ah, the first time I fought a Leshen... soooo epic.
Literally my first reaction while I was riding through southern Velen, just minding my own business,
"WTF is that?!"
My first one was on Monster Hunter the after this, i fought the Ancient Leshen and boy this hunt was really tough, it's like fighting the Whole forest with this song, he gave the sensation that now is really angry, really hard to fight but the boss is way too cool. GLORY FOR ANCIENT LESHEN
I hope I'm not the only one who thinks The Witcher 3 has an amazing soundtrack.
You are not alone, my friend. :)
Being a custodian at a school has never felt so satisfying.
I'd've loved if they implemented another monster or two from the Witcher world into this game, imagine if the likes of a Fiend or a Basilisk made it's way in.
I'd love it if the Witcher world took in a MHW creature as well, I can imagine the fun Geralt would have hunting a Rathalos or Odagaron.
better yet
hunt down a strange creature, to find out its THAT pukei pukei
What about nergi now that would awesome
The intro really remind me of "Cutthroat Terror on the High sea". Well it's fitting though cause that is pirate game and Skellige is a land of raider, Viking and Pirate.

Leshen in the Witcher 3: 😐
Leshen in monster hunter world:💀
Always this song start play, I remember the Ancient Lich.
Reminded me of the For Honor vikings theme.
Well... Skelliges inhabitants pretty much are Vikings.
RIP my Ancient controller
The wendigo battel sound ✨👍🏻
Interesting thing here:
The violin parts are not only present in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or Monster Hunter: World but also in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite small arena theme as well. Play this theme at 1.25 speed, it’ll match the small arena theme. Vice versa if you play the small arena theme at 0.75 speed to match this be as well.
At this point I’m expecting a remix
I played the track at both speed and i have to say 0,75 is not so much of my like, but It has his own good touch, and 1,25...
Is freaking amazing.
@@ElShowdeGyaron ah the 0.75 speed is for the other track from monster hunter freedom unite’s small arena theme
My first playthrough I just arrived in skellige trying to get the griffin enhanced set there, I found an where cyclops resides and whenever I meditate he respawns. Great place train and unlimited amounts of cyclops eyes and tint amounts of exp.
I love this music whenever to turns up that's why I keep fighting the cyclops there
I made sometimes ago a Dnd game were me and my Friend were both bards. He would have played this Song, while i played silver for Monsters at the same time
How many Witcher players shown MHW players how you fight a Leshen the ‘Witcher’ way? I did.
Play this in a crowd of talking people. You’ll find they’ve all been marked by a Leshen.
Ah. The Hunt Begins, a Skellige General Monster Battle theme, still as badass as the other battle themes
Well, now that World is done, we can officially grant Ancient Leshen the crown of "beefiest monster of the New World". It has more hp than the freaking Fatalis...
If it was limited to 30 minutes like Fatalis was, that'd be even worse..
За Фрею!!!!!!
Even with master rank equipment cant let my guard down
oohh the nostalgia of fighting this guy for the first time...
I've been painfully searching this beauty..
Did anyone realize the dudes voices from this song is from Far Cry 3?? When you level up and in other parts the same dudes' breathing is heard.
"We'll fix you up, don't you fret."
When I listen to this music, when I exercise, my breathing sounds like hoo. hoo. hoo.
Ah out of all the monsters creatures in the witcher universe the leshen is just my l time favorite idk why theres something about the leshen that gives me the creepes
This sounds a lot like Far Cry 3
This track reminds me of FarCry 3
totally, right? it seems like the voices are even saying the same syllables... or am i wrong?
Me too xD
got those bongos and pipes strewed across the piece.
Just watch an intro of Far Cry 3. These are really the same words the voices say
@@nextgen3442 Far Cry 3 Relics voices
If you listen to the chanting it's the same from Far Cry 3's level up theme.
Also the same chanting when you stand next to an idol
If you listen closely it sounds like they are chanting "play the game"...Its not like I needed a reason
It sounds like music you hear when lost in the woods and you start hearing some wild animal nearby
The Witcher 3 A.Leshen : Super EZ with proper weapon. needed only 2 minutes
MHW A.Leshen Solo : 20 minutes. Need META but enjoyable.
MHW A.Leshen with randoms :
"Help ! i'm pinned down "
" anyone has lifepowder ?"
" Sorry..."
"Don't Sweat it ! "
" Oh No ! you've been Marked ! "
This leshen mogged all the other forest inhabitants fr
Despite having played Witcher 3, fighting him in MHW makes me think, gee Geralt, how the hell do you even do this by yourself?
That's the difference between a genetically modified human specialized in hunting monsters and an adventure, i guess. XD
Funnily enough, humans in MH are actually pretty genetically enhanced too, being descended from basically ancient super soldiers. This is why they can lift such heavy things with ease and survive extremely deadly attacks, like Nerg's Shrapnel. Granted, the Armour staves off most of the damage but if a normal human was put in that Situation, no amount of Armour would save them. But other than their Strength and increased durability, they're nowhere near Witcher Level. Magical Signs, Increased Toxicity Resistance which allows the consumption of potions that would normally destroy a normal person's body, years of rigorous and sometimes brutal training and an extended lifespan. I guess it all boils down to the Magical Aspect of things and which side has more advanced technology.
@@thewhompingwampa2671 Don't forget though, while it is possible to solo this fight in MH, it's clearly not designed with solo in mind. This is supposed to be a monster so fierce, it takes an entire group of hunters to take it down, where in The Witcher, Geralt's enhancements make it so he can solo it, at great risk even still. But I agree, even Great Jagras would require a Witcher in The Witcher game. But our Hunters are on another level from those regular people in that universe.
@@GoodNight0wl True that. Leshen is basically the new Behemoth but he's what that Oversized, Steroid obsessed Pitbull looks under his bed for at night.
I think during the fight against regular Leshen, Geralt comments on the Leshen being unusually powerful, and theorizes that it could be because the Ancient Forest is absolutely abundant with greenery (and potentially the energy of the Everstream flowing through it). Considering this, the Ancient Leshen might've been so powerful it'd make sense if it can floor hunters easily, possibly even Geralt had he stuck around to see it.
Came here from Monster Hunter World xD!!!!!

Ancient Leshen isn't even an elder dragon, yet he is strong enough to break traps..
I remember wandering in the forest in Velen and suddenly i saw a leshen in front of me it was so fuckin scary and my level was low so i had to run i tried to go back to fight him when my level became higher but i didn’t find him:(
There are 2 wandering leshens in velen. Might even be the same dunno. 1 is close to the village where you can meet leto. The other is at the dragon cave where griffin set is hidden. That one got me good the first time i explored that area. First i saw a slender shape disappearing right behind a tree in the distance. I walked there slowly but could not see any thing. Then i turned the camera and he used his root attack right beside me. I was scared and died since i was lvl 8 and he is lvl 20 or so. Most amazing monster, unfortunately very harmless once you know its patterns.
All i can say is *SKELIGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
