I’ll see if I can post it on r/monsterhunter tomorrow. Just note this was an elective class, so the drawing is very amateurish and it was hard to find key art or models at the time.
Fun fact: I got all of my footage this last week. It's still possible in MH4G to find rooms for Gogma quite easily, and I've heard there are still people playing MH4U as well. That's crazy when you think about it!
Watching the cutscene: Ok, it's too big and its wings have no membrane, so at least it must be flightless Half a health later: **Screams of utter terror**
This hunt really got me into the philosophy of "it's not over till it's over." I was once in a room, and we got two carts in the first couple of minutes. It looked hopeless, but managed to pull through with all of our strength and skill. This is proof that you can pull through even the most hopeless situations. It's *NOT* over till it's over!
I have often been in a group where 2 hunters died right away but we still continued to play and then killed it. But it also happened we got 2 carts, we stayed and at the end somoone died again...
Had a random quit Sterling Pride in Iceborne when I arrived. I thought nothing of it, I joined the randoms, we got it done, and I got two guild mates as a result.
This is why I still consider 4U the peak of the series. I love Gen and World, don't get me wrong, but compare THIS baby's fight to Zorah Magdaros. 4U had it all. Best support cast, best theme, best story, best flagship best girl and best final boss.
However you're comparing a game with g-rank with one that still has to get one. They call it master rank, but it's the same thing. It's not a fair comparison. A fair comparison would be comparing the two after Iceborne.
Hearing proof of a hero play during large elder dragon fights always makes me feel rallied, like "YOU'RE ALMOST AT THE END! YOU CAN DO IT!" Know what I mean?
My first experience with that tradition was Jhen Mohran in MH3U. That was one of the most unforgettable experiences in gaming. I could describe that 34 and a half minutes for hours.
Capcom seems to have a penchant for doing this - look at Dragon's Dogma's "End of the Struggle" theme, when it starts playing it feels like the game is giving you encouragement to finish the job.
Gogmazios was the very first video game boss/character/anything that truly intimidated me. My brother had the game before me, and he convinced me to pick it up. All the while, ive heard him utter the name "Gogmazios", followed by "impossible" and/or "seriously scary". Fast forward months of mh4u enjoyment and I make it to him. The changing music in Dundorma. The dark sky. Citizens preparing for disaster. I was ready to see what the fuss really was. And then I saw him. Towering above us. Tattered, bony wings. Glowing orange eyes. Dragonator lodged in bis back. Black tar spilling everywhere. The bloody shriek he utters before the fight begins. I had absolutely no idea what I was expecting, but I had NO words for what I had just witnessed. Even the battle theme is so...foreboding. Unlike Shagaru Magala's music, which gives me a sense of duty and righteousness, Gogmazios' music only gave me the feeling of certain doom. No ray of hope was shone through this music track. This went hand-in-hand with his design and unforgiving difficulty to deliver perhaps the most intimidating boss figbt I have ever experienced. Ever. No game has managed to top that.
I love gogmazios, it's one of the few fights that breaks the giant monster "curse" (a giant spectacle but is mostly just a walking health bar) this guy is an actual challenge
I remember this time we were fighting gogma (we had not defeated him yet) and i had the carbon for the mega cannon, while i was going at the back of the arena he started flying and lasering all the arena. I waited and timed it well, shoot him while he was sill flying, grounded him and saved the team from the explosions. Suddenly the music theme started playing (it was the first time we used the carbon) almost covered by the screams of my teammates. That is the most fucking cool thing i've ever did in a MH game, it was simply amazing, i had goosebumps for like 5 minutes straight XD i really felt like a hero ahahah
my best moments with the demolisher were when i used it for the first and finished a chameleos with it and the second time was almost like what you describe, it is an incredible sensation !
I think everyone likes Gogmazios, it’s unique, huge and absolutely terrifying whenever it does it’s flying laser attack Personally I prefer dalamadur but that’s just me
Ryaquaza 1 Sadly Gog was just a pain to try and fight solo but next to Mr mountain snake especially shal being that off white and rust orange color Shal Dala is my favorite as well. Course by far my favorite set ever is a jumbled mixed mess with shal dala bow, chest, kush helm, legs and pickle belt making a mobile blast focused and good looking set that was a blast to play even without power coating.
I don't think everyone likes it. It was immensely tanky and its design did put some weapons at a noticable disadvantage. I loved the fight though and did it a bunch of times, even though its weapons and armor were mostly useless. My best time was ~25 minutes with the Fatalis CB. The wind up for its oil blast attack is absolutely terrifying.
One thing I love about gog is that he doesnt appear all that aggressive at first but gradually he becomes frusterated and angry with your attempts to deter him. He's just a hungry boi. I also love his theme, falkonne made a really awesome metal cover of It that is just 👌👌👌
The biggest thing i love about Gogma is that it's exactly what i always wanted the siege fights to be. It's not scripted, it's not running around loading cannonballs (you can, but it's entirely optional). It's just you versus a gigantic adversary, out for your blood. I still remember the amazing feeling of duoing this thing for the first time. 10/10 would hunt again.
I miss MH4U so much. My absolute favorite game of the series. I want to see Gogmazios return and I mean, why not bring back Dire Miralis and other major elder dragons that only appeared once or twice while they're at it?
They should bring back dire miralis in a new area with new attacks and new equipment. same with the abyssal lagiacrus, fighting both together in the arena f.e. would be a nice g3 quest
It's crazy how the Gogmazios fight REALLY pushed the 3DS to its absolute limit. The fact that they were able to pull off such an amazing large scale battle while still keeping the monster feeling lively and reactive on this little pixely device is incredible. It didn't just feel like the final boss of the MH4U; In a way it felt like the final boss of the entire system.
My favorite memory of this bad boy, was when me and my brother took him on together. The feeling of him finally going down as Proof of a hero started playing was just. Amazing.
Why would people still think they would add gen monsters now ? I mean its cool but yall need to be reminded that they world and gen were out at the same timr
I remember this being my first roadblock since the double brachy quest in 3u in the series, I was stuck on this hunt for days as randoms would join, not know what to do, and get destroyed by lasers and unholy fire. I have a very strong love/hate relationship with this thing, the frustration of my first few fights has stuck with me, and never left.
the first time gogma started to fly i legitimately felt absolutely dwarfed and helpless. i just about managed to not die in the fight as is and then that thing just lifts up. definitely my favorite elder dragon as well.
I think Shageru is the best elder dragon. just because it has the story backing and the sense of rivalry The mystery of this plague, you see the effects of Gore throughout the entire game. the fight with gore is built up. you encounter it a few times and just when you think you have finally won, nope, it evolves. Shegeru is a personal fight which makes it stand out far more then all the others. I get why you like gogma but it is just shoehorned in like all others. if they ever retold the mh4 story, I could imagine that they could have a system that determines the final fight. Imagine, each time you fight gore based on how well you do in the fight before he flees will change the final fight. if you did superbly each fight, when you show up for the final encounter, you have caught gore early and disrupted it's molting, thus you fight Chaos gore magala instead of Shegaru. MHW tried to have that same kind of rivalry with Nergle. but it didn't work because it didn't have the same grudge match vibe.
Argol228 If you pay attention to the dialogue while going through the G rank quests, they actually talk about Gog some. It’s not as obvious compared to the main story of course, but they still hype up a monster of great size and power while you climb
@@Draco-9158 i mean sure but that is standard. It isnt this personal story and it has weak stakes. A plague monster that can devestate the region vs the standard "giant dragon is going to destroy this town" which pretty much all elder dragons have as their reason to hunt.
Argol228 True, but it’s not shoehorned. It has a buildup to it, and foreshadowing. If anything Dalamadur is the shoehorned one, but I can’t complain about either because they’re both awesome. Shagaru is amazing too though. The sense of rivalry in its battle cutscene was fantastic. I love thinking about the fact that it’s looking upon you with eyes for the first time
@@hoganshairline4175 it's not that hard actually, i use atk honed shagaru ig and keep aiming for his wings when he's standing and head when he's down, combined with dragontor and demolisher use, he'll go down in 30-40 mins
I got mh4g on release and I remember the entire player base being gated by this guy because urgent quest only get cleared for whoever accepts the quest. There were tons of rooms with only one player waiting for people to help. I tried to solo this guy countless times but just can't kill him in time. I ended up duoing with a random stranger and we managed to clear the quest for each other after three hours of grind and that was my fondest memory of online coop in MH.
MH4U is definitely my favorite Monster Hunter game. There was just so much high quality content to be experienced. The Guild Quests and apex monsters also did great in terms of extending the game's replayability after the story and rank up beyond G-rank.
More like these please! As a new MH player and don't have the time to invest playing the older games, a series like this would really be cool. Nice job!
Awesome video Gaijin. I hope this feature series continues, what is your top 5 favorite elder dragons in terms of both gameplay and lore? My favourite elder dragons based on my criteria are, 1. Shagaru magala, 2. Shah Dalamadur 3. Gogmazious 4. Fatalis ( All of them ) 5. Amatsu
Unfortunately im not gaijin but my top 5 elder dragons are: 1: Gogmazios 2: White Fatalis 3: Shagaru Magala 4: Valstrax 5: Dalamadur Special mention to Ahtal-Ka and Ukanlos which aren't technically elder dragons despite kind of being on the same level?
This monster along with extreme behemoth is one of those fights whish feels so intense an you are so involved with it. And when you get 3 good teamates you feel like a coordinated team. Satisfaction at its finest.
I don't play Monster Hunter, but have always admired the monster designs. I really enjoyed your showcase of this guy, thank you for putting him on my radar. He feels like something out of a medieval fantasy novel.
Shitty armor but solid weapons. Fighting him for the first time was amazing, and he was apart of my favorite MH game. I was hoping for him in GU but nope.. we got Lao
Apart from looking really beastly, its fight is also my most favourite. You get to do so much from salvaging to prepare for battles, fighting up close, shooting cannons, trapping, taking covers, riding carts, riding the monsters, breaking off parts for extra attacks and getting the big attack ready. The Gogma also actively goes after players unlike *coughlaocough* and uses AoE attacks that just send shivers down your spine every time you see them coming. It really test your teamwork ability and how you plan your roles out. Cool design, cool lore, cool fights, cool armor and weapons (look-wise at least). Easily one of the top monsters ever in MH history for me! If they release a new MH game for the Switch, I REALLY hope they bring this monstrosity back. They have to!!
Sorry but i can't convince myself to like this dragon, because of PTSD. Specifically, the "bombs over gogmazius" quest. It is a very cool dragon, but the sheer difficulty of bringing this thing down on that quest really gives me nothing but bad memories. It took me a total of 30 tries to claim my first victory and that even includes an accompanying party of experienced hunters (well, experienced enough to get to that point). I have to admit, it was the most satisfying victory i have claimed over any monster in that game, and that includes all of the fatalis variants or any elder dragon fight and finally claiming the amatsu armor set. It is also interesting to know of the rep that this dragon had built in the community. Every time i hosted the gog quest, only 20% of hunters that entered the hall actually wanted to stay and participate in the hunt, because of the fear and frustration that the dragon had struck in the hearts of the community, so that is another point. But still, the shear difficulty and aggression of the dragon accompanied with size and absolute BS hitboxes and fights that can go from 30 seconds (aoe team wipe) to 30 minutes, just to lose, makes me never want to fight it again, especially with a group of inexperienced players. But remember, this is just my opinion. If you like gog, good for you. Im a monster hunter noob that started the series with monster hunter world and ive been really enjoying 3U, 4U, stories, generations and generations ultimate. I really like the series thus far and is really open to new experiences and opinions.
It really is hard. Because not only does he hits hard and has big range. Unlike other large bosses, it is aggressive as hell. And despite his size, all it takes is one move and you will miss, giving him plenty of time to OHKO you. And then you have thing flying and basically nuking the area, too.
This was a hell of a fight, I still remember it perfectly, it took me and two friends occupied for two nights playing with our 3ds, the game was very much doable untill the g-gogma but against him we once more had to rework our setup and study the perfect strategy, then when we finally managed to use the big cannon and heard proof of a hero playing we literally went to jump over the monster and beat the crap out of it this is what I love about Monster Hunter, it gives you plenty of challenges, you can either perfect your skill or fancy the most efficient equipment or both to have a strong hand against the monster, it's not perks and level, just your skill and your equipment
That was the Caravan Savage Deviljho for me. I had like 15 seconds to spare, used all of my healing items, nullberries and seeds, my dung bombs ran out before the 20 minutes mark and my thumb was sore for the rest of the day, but I downed the bastard with no carts. Easily the most satysfying hunt I ever had, vocally shouted "Yes!" during lecture when it finally died. 10/10 would never put myself through that pain again.
I had no clue that was Gogma as your avatar, or that he was your favorite. Great choice! It's awesome and unique, while still beimg slightly familiar with its Gormagala like body. I also love how he is so big that he has 2 mounting spots! (One for its stomach and one for its back) A memorable monster and battle. 😸
gahh, I remember being so hyped up and freaked for that S. Magala fight. I was still working up past 'casual' status with the series, cause I only started playing shortly before 4U came out, started with 3U & didn't get far cause those swim/hunt mechanics pissed me off...so getting to S. Magala and defeating it first time was such a big deal for me..that was when I was like "oh dang, i'm hooked" xD
When I first fought Shagaru it was in Gen. It was fun but it wasn't till i fought it in 4U that I saw what everyone was talking about. I was able to hype myself even more for that fight by creating a backstory for my character. His ancestors had been corrupted by Gore and he was fighting to restore his families honor. I can't say it's my favorite since the only other Elder Dragon I've fought is Kirin. High Rank is hard without friends.
@@DaisyPainted I think MANY people had around the same story (including me). I started playing because i randomnly saw 3U in the library for the wii U and decided to give it a go. I din't get far though, because my young brain found those monsters like Arzuros too terifying on a screen that big. So i switched to 3ds and there i remember the great triumph i had when i had beaten deviljho with no heals, like 10 minutes left but it was all worth it because 1) sweet sweet revenge and 2) i got a gem for it. And then came 4U and then mhXX and then World and probably much much more.
blobvisfan 666 i sadly never got far enough in 3U to face Deviljho, so my first time with him was in MHGU with my group and it was hilarious, cause I was a psycho vaulting all over the place & whacking him while my friends are screaming at him the entire time. I didn't die though! He's not bad except when he decides to pop up in other monster's quests. My top shining moment though was when my friends dragged me into my first Teostra fight, as a Prowler, & didn't give much warning about it...I hopped in on him sleeping, my friends a bit behind, & I comet launched myself at him and was insta-nuked 😂
After 600+ hours and years after stoping playing the game, I managed to defeat It solo. It was my last Monster Hunter challenge, I had even solo'd Iceborne's Fatalis before Gogma. As a long time Monster Hunter veteran and fan, this day felt special not only for conquering the last challenge, but for enyoing the content of such an amazing franchise.
awesome video. I loved how you covered concept art, development trivia, armour and some of the weapon thematic qualities. Basically the perfect Monster Feature!
Gogzilla is one of my fav monsters, definitely a very spooky sludge boi. Nothing more scary than when the music changes and it takes flight 360 noscope exploding everywhere.
yusss...haha, my hunting pals for Switch would hate me..I'm a noob to a lot of the harder monsters still, & they don't usually tell me much for prep which is a fun surprise & makes for fun commentary...but I about killed their ear drums in discord first time we tackled Nakarkos together. (I WASN'T MENTALLY PREPARED FOR BONE TENTACLES lol) I'd be making their ears bleed over Gogma xD
Design-wise, I kinda prefer Dalamadur, but that fight is a glitchy mess. Gogmazios wins with a badass design, an intimidating theme (seriously, the main violin strings are terryfing), really cool weapon designs, and a combination of size and speed that only an Apex monster can surpass. I still think MH4U is the best entry of them all. The involved cutscenes alone make it fun to even replay the story in my book. A bit more visual polish and some actual facial expressions, and this would be perfect!
Dala fight being a glitchy mess - finally, someone said it! Also, lack of facial expressions in cutscenes is hilarious if you have that one face with a toothpick. Every time the game tries so hard to be dramatic, your character is just like "That's all you got? Bitch please...".
The thing is nobody knows if it's a black dragon or not that's something odd also it only appeared in one game as final boss after everything like fatalis and alatreon. Dunno if it can be considered a black dragon tho. No icon nobody knows a lot about it
I once made a custom quest with two Gore-Magala-sized Gogmas (1 sticky and 1 explosive). It was like a whole new monster at that size and very challenging to keep track of both monsters.
I love gogmazios sooo much I remember how amazed and powerless I felt when first fighting him, and now today I can solo him. Truly one of the best monsters, I really don’t understand why people seem to not like him that much
4U was my first introduction to the series, and man I instantly fell in love with it all. The monsters, the gameplay, and man when I finally got to the end of g rank and toppled this guy? I felt on top of the world. Thanks for finally giving us your thoughts on this monster Gaijin.
I feel that, for the amazing and hard fight that Gogmazios was, his weapons were a kick to the nuts. Low sleep instead of blast and rather low raw (compared to other endgame weps).
I had never seen, much less fought gogmazios, before seeing this video. I'd heard of him and looked forward to hunting him. I pushed through most of g-rank solo, but sometimes had the help of friemds when they were available. Seeing this video was almost like seeing the love of a lifetime I let slip by. A mix of amazement and regret crept over me. So much that I pulled out my old mh4u edition 3ds I hadn't used in so long. I booted up said game. Looking through all the armor sets and weapons I'd grinded my ass for, remembering my experience getting them, then looking through my old guild card lists of friends I'd played with way back when, I started crying from the nostalgia, and crying is something I very rarely done for sometime now. When I checked my completed quests, I saw that I was only four quests away, FOUR quests, from getting the gogmazios urgent quest. I was almost going to slap myself for getting so close but not having made it. I'm really grateful for this video for showcasing this truly awesome monster I'd looked forward to so much, yet never got to see. I was able to remember precious memories from my past, and now have the drive to finish what I started. Even if I were to have to solo him, I'll face gogmazios and chase him to his doom Again, thank you for this video showcasing this pinnacle monster of my favorite game from my favorite franchise
I remember farming materials to get an artian armor for an artillery god set, the Canon cart thing was fun to operate I still remember that one side of the tracks would aim the Canon slightly lower and slightly higher on the other side And the huge cannon in the center is probably one of the most satisfying thing to fire The coffin charge blade was also one of the best looking weapon in the game. I hope you have room to talk about molten tiggy too
I loved Gog, spent most of my g-rank fighting him over and over. The arena alone added lots to the fight as it gave everyone so many options on what to do but Gog was an amazing sight, the build up to him was mysterious but I was not prepared for what I saw. Hands down was the most fun I had in an elder dragon fight ever.
It took a friend of mine about two years to actually successfully get me to play Monster Hunter 4U, my first real foray into the series. A few months after I started I eventually reached G rank and then not long after that we fought Gogmazios together. When we managed to trap Gogma and fire the Demolisher successfully, hearing Proof of a Hero afterwards just, oh my god. It's one of my most treasured moments of all time and I will never forget it. For that reason, Gogma will hold a special place in my heart as my reward for giving the game another chance and sticking with it.
I love the dark scary looking monsters that 4 introduces, like Gog, gore magala, and dalamadur. I like the fun, goofy monsters too but when capcom decides to make terrifying and intimidating monsters, they really nail it.
Gotta do a feature for the big snake boi Dalamadur. Absolutely loved that fight. Still crap myself when he gets down low and tries to swallow the hunter whole.
It's always satisfying to hear it in every siege hunts. But I would also love for he main themes of the games like Stars at our Back, Wind of Departure, etc. to play.
Gogmazios was the most unique end game fights I've had. While I've only fought him four times, I can never forget on Fight 3, my lads were about to die and use up the remaining carts, and I managed to barely clip his wing with a canon shot that killed him. Good memories...
Fun extra fact: Gogmazios's icon *IS* in MH4U, just not as a quest/monster icon. It's shown on the G-rank achievements page of your Guild Card (after defeating him).

Can we see it dude?
+1 for pics
Pics or it didnt happen! (please?)
I’ll see if I can post it on r/monsterhunter tomorrow. Just note this was an elective class, so the drawing is very amateurish and it was hard to find key art or models at the time.
Nice introduction for your friend s/classmates that aren't familiar with the game😅😅
Fun fact: I got all of my footage this last week. It's still possible in MH4G to find rooms for Gogma quite easily, and I've heard there are still people playing MH4U as well. That's crazy when you think about it!
what is the armour you are wearing when using the insect glaive?
yep i still playing this game on my 3ds
Of course there is, mh4u is the best mh game so far
Well last time i check before mhw came out, MH freedom on iPad had ppl playing it

Forgot to mention, the name "-zios" is taken form "geo" and "corrosion" according to an interview with Fujioka-san.
Look up Brachydios Kabedon
Best picture ever.

Gogma being infected with the frenzy virus will make him look like a giant Gore Magala.
Gogmagala?
@@doot5292 What do you call Gogmazios in it's Shagaru form????

"This guy is pretty intimidating... but I've made it all the way here! I'm not gonna give up so easi- is it flying?"

Please sign petition to bring Gogmasio to MHW so The Commander can finally be reunited with his long-lost dragonator. :(
YES!!!
Lmao
Wheres my draganator
I just thought about this and then I see this comment 🙌🏻
He’s possible. He uses the Gore Magala skeleton which both Nergigante and Xeno Jiiva use in World.
gogmazios and dalamadur remain two of my favorite endgame fights, 4U really nailed their fight designs.
Dont forget how they manage to hype up the story final boss against Shagaru Magala
And they somehow managed to stuff BOTH in a 3ds
Dalamadur was such a cool monster but many people sucked so bad at the fight and died to its deathbeam constantly
@@bossboy191919 it's not really the monster's fault...
@@bossboy191919 And hunters still die to the beam easily in G-Rank and occasionally on high-rank. :/
This hunt really got me into the philosophy of "it's not over till it's over."
I was once in a room, and we got two carts in the first couple of minutes. It looked hopeless, but managed to pull through with all of our strength and skill.
This is proof that you can pull through even the most hopeless situations. It's *NOT* over till it's over!
I have often been in a group where 2 hunters died right away but we still continued to play and then killed it.
But it also happened we got 2 carts, we stayed and at the end somoone died again...
I hate when someone leaves the quest after 2 karts
Cool story but where did you get your quote?
Is that same as " people die if they are killed"
Had a random quit Sterling Pride in Iceborne when I arrived. I thought nothing of it, I joined the randoms, we got it done, and I got two guild mates as a result.
This is why I still consider 4U the peak of the series. I love Gen and World, don't get me wrong, but compare THIS baby's fight to Zorah Magdaros.
4U had it all. Best support cast, best theme, best story, best flagship best girl and best final boss.

Kinda makes me wish i bought a 3DS instead of a vita...
However you're comparing a game with g-rank with one that still has to get one. They call it master rank, but it's the same thing. It's not a fair comparison. A fair comparison would be comparing the two after Iceborne.
Iceborne will surpass 4u
Zorah's isnt even a fight LUL
Hearing proof of a hero play during large elder dragon fights always makes me feel rallied, like "YOU'RE ALMOST AT THE END! YOU CAN DO IT!" Know what I mean?

One of the best hype songs in gaming history

Commander: WHERE IS MY DRAGONATOR!!
Gog: bruh ...
Ahtal-Ka: _This is a nice stick. I like sticks..._
*Troll song intensifies*
Gogmazios was the very first video game boss/character/anything that truly intimidated me.
My brother had the game before me, and he convinced me to pick it up. All the while, ive heard him utter the name "Gogmazios", followed by "impossible" and/or "seriously scary".
Fast forward months of mh4u enjoyment and I make it to him. The changing music in Dundorma. The dark sky. Citizens preparing for disaster. I was ready to see what the fuss really was.
And then I saw him.
Towering above us. Tattered, bony wings. Glowing orange eyes. Dragonator lodged in bis back. Black tar spilling everywhere. The bloody shriek he utters before the fight begins. I had absolutely no idea what I was expecting, but I had NO words for what I had just witnessed.
Even the battle theme is so...foreboding. Unlike Shagaru Magala's music, which gives me a sense of duty and righteousness, Gogmazios' music only gave me the feeling of certain doom. No ray of hope was shone through this music track.
This went hand-in-hand with his design and unforgiving difficulty to deliver perhaps the most intimidating boss figbt I have ever experienced. Ever. No game has managed to top that.
Hey gog the commander called: he wants his dragonator back 🤣
I love gogmazios, it's one of the few fights that breaks the giant monster "curse" (a giant spectacle but is mostly just a walking health bar) this guy is an actual challenge
I remember this time we were fighting gogma (we had not defeated him yet) and i had the carbon for the mega cannon, while i was going at the back of the arena he started flying and lasering all the arena. I waited and timed it well, shoot him while he was sill flying, grounded him and saved the team from the explosions. Suddenly the music theme started playing (it was the first time we used the carbon) almost covered by the screams of my teammates. That is the most fucking cool thing i've ever did in a MH game, it was simply amazing, i had goosebumps for like 5 minutes straight XD i really felt like a hero ahahah
The most epic Gogmazios killing blow was a Kinsect finishing it off in mid-air.
my best moments with the demolisher were when i used it for the first and finished a chameleos with it and the second time was almost like what you describe, it is an incredible sensation !
Love that feeling.
MH at it's best
Felt like a hero? That was proof you are a hero!
Seeing all the people loving this game almost makes me cry.
I want to thank all the hunters out there that are still playing.
Honestly now I kinda wanna go back and see if anyone is still in need of help doing the gog quest.
I think everyone likes Gogmazios, it’s unique, huge and absolutely terrifying whenever it does it’s flying laser attack
Personally I prefer dalamadur but that’s just me
Ryaquaza 1 Sadly Gog was just a pain to try and fight solo but next to Mr mountain snake especially shal being that off white and rust orange color Shal Dala is my favorite as well.
Course by far my favorite set ever is a jumbled mixed mess with shal dala bow, chest, kush helm, legs and pickle belt making a mobile blast focused and good looking set that was a blast to play even without power coating.
I honestly cant decide on which ones better as BOTH elder dragons are so cool
@@Remi-Toruzen My personal record for Gogmazios is 35 minutes solo, if i recall correctly
I don't think everyone likes it. It was immensely tanky and its design did put some weapons at a noticable disadvantage.
I loved the fight though and did it a bunch of times, even though its weapons and armor were mostly useless. My best time was ~25 minutes with the Fatalis CB.
The wind up for its oil blast attack is absolutely terrifying.
In my last fight, at one point Gog spammed his laser breath at me like 3 times in a row. DO NOT play artillery if you're fighting him solo...
6:16 I always smile every time I hear that goat scream!
Gogmazio more like Goatmazio, amirite?
No wonder it's the icon of your channel. gog bless ya adam.
XD
Welcome back mang, also I feel like Gog would make a really fun siege in world.
One thing I love about gog is that he doesnt appear all that aggressive at first but gradually he becomes frusterated and angry with your attempts to deter him. He's just a hungry boi.
I also love his theme, falkonne made a really awesome metal cover of It that is just 👌👌👌
Revisiting this because boy does this monster need to return with the new Tar Pit area
Now he has to comeback in wilds with the new locale
We need a 4U remake for the Switch
Yes very much so with added content. Can you imagine?
Kind of...haha
Agreed. I loved 4u
As long as I can transfer my data over that'll be great.
We need a MH with all monsters, quests, villages, items just everything of all MH combined into one.
The biggest thing i love about Gogma is that it's exactly what i always wanted the siege fights to be. It's not scripted, it's not running around loading cannonballs (you can, but it's entirely optional). It's just you versus a gigantic adversary, out for your blood.
I still remember the amazing feeling of duoing this thing for the first time. 10/10 would hunt again.
Dopamine levels become maximum when that song hits
Gogmazios: The corroding one who stands against God.
Gog, the one who would challenge God
Ma, It makes you cry for your mama
Zios: Corrosion
I miss MH4U so much. My absolute favorite game of the series. I want to see Gogmazios return and I mean, why not bring back Dire Miralis and other major elder dragons that only appeared once or twice while they're at it?
Alatreon still possible man they already have the skeleton.
They should bring back dire miralis in a new area with new attacks and new equipment.
same with the abyssal lagiacrus, fighting both together in the arena f.e. would be a nice g3 quest
I wish...
but Capcom are too obsessed with bringing back monsters we've been fighting since the first game, it really is irritating.
*WE NEED CEADEUS GODAMNIT XD*
@@blobvisfan666 a ceadeus on land!!!
Clearing MH4u past Gogmazios offline is probably my greatest monster hunter achievement. This fight was soo stressful but I'll never forget it.
Just realized that Xeno skeleton favors Gogs...someone at Capcom needs to give us this
It's crazy how the Gogmazios fight REALLY pushed the 3DS to its absolute limit. The fact that they were able to pull off such an amazing large scale battle while still keeping the monster feeling lively and reactive on this little pixely device is incredible. It didn't just feel like the final boss of the MH4U; In a way it felt like the final boss of the entire system.
I never clicked so fast on a video, i always loved those feature videos and then about Gogmazios
My favorite memory of this bad boy, was when me and my brother took him on together.
The feeling of him finally going down as Proof of a hero started playing was just. Amazing.
Capcom brought Lao back and not Gog, I'm still mad :c
Well the 15th anniversary is coming up what if Capcom brings back every g rank boss for iceborne
Matt Gales does that include the endgame monsters of offline high rank added in ultimate versions? I need HD Valstrax.
@@SomeGuy-cn5vm idk I'm just saying this as a what if. BUT I WANT CAPCOM TO RELEASE GENERATIONS ULTIMATE ON 3DS AND FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!
Why would people still think they would add gen monsters now ? I mean its cool but yall need to be reminded that they world and gen were out at the same timr
@@0oDouble47o0 They are adding glavenus in iceborne so. You know.
I remember this being my first roadblock since the double brachy quest in 3u in the series, I was stuck on this hunt for days as randoms would join, not know what to do, and get destroyed by lasers and unholy fire. I have a very strong love/hate relationship with this thing, the frustration of my first few fights has stuck with me, and never left.
The Sleep element actually make sense for Goggy's weapons from another standpoint, one of the key ingredients in Chloroform are Tar.
I love these videos!
With all your love for Monster Hunter, Capcom HAS to give you a tour of their studio, especially since you know Japanese
the first time gogma started to fly i legitimately felt absolutely dwarfed and helpless.
i just about managed to not die in the fight as is and then that thing just lifts up.
definitely my favorite elder dragon as well.
I think Shageru is the best elder dragon. just because it has the story backing and the sense of rivalry The mystery of this plague, you see the effects of Gore throughout the entire game. the fight with gore is built up. you encounter it a few times and just when you think you have finally won, nope, it evolves.
Shegeru is a personal fight which makes it stand out far more then all the others. I get why you like gogma but it is just shoehorned in like all others.
if they ever retold the mh4 story, I could imagine that they could have a system that determines the final fight. Imagine, each time you fight gore based on how well you do in the fight before he flees will change the final fight. if you did superbly each fight, when you show up for the final encounter, you have caught gore early and disrupted it's molting, thus you fight Chaos gore magala instead of Shegaru.
MHW tried to have that same kind of rivalry with Nergle. but it didn't work because it didn't have the same grudge match vibe.
Argol228 If you pay attention to the dialogue while going through the G rank quests, they actually talk about Gog some. It’s not as obvious compared to the main story of course, but they still hype up a monster of great size and power while you climb
@@Draco-9158 i mean sure but that is standard. It isnt this personal story and it has weak stakes. A plague monster that can devestate the region vs the standard "giant dragon is going to destroy this town" which pretty much all elder dragons have as their reason to hunt.
Argol228 True, but it’s not shoehorned. It has a buildup to it, and foreshadowing. If anything Dalamadur is the shoehorned one, but I can’t complain about either because they’re both awesome.
Shagaru is amazing too though. The sense of rivalry in its battle cutscene was fantastic. I love thinking about the fact that it’s looking upon you with eyes for the first time
Awesome video! You gotta do more of these in the future, man!
one of the best designed elder monsters but annoying to fight. HP bloat elders just become an annoyance
^
I agree, it is very well designed.
It is a bit troublesome, but one can solo Gogmazios in 30-40 minutes
@@KimKimeraKimes I can't even imagine soloing it lmao
@@hoganshairline4175 it's not that hard actually, i use atk honed shagaru ig and keep aiming for his wings when he's standing and head when he's down, combined with dragontor and demolisher use, he'll go down in 30-40 mins
Soloing this bastard and killing him with only 50 seconds left will always be my favorite Monster Hunter moment.
Everybody gangsta until gogma fly
I got mh4g on release and I remember the entire player base being gated by this guy because urgent quest only get cleared for whoever accepts the quest. There were tons of rooms with only one player waiting for people to help. I tried to solo this guy countless times but just can't kill him in time. I ended up duoing with a random stranger and we managed to clear the quest for each other after three hours of grind and that was my fondest memory of online coop in MH.
Gogmazios enrages: Time to leave the map and just prance for a minute or two.
I love the fact that's Gogmazios is an mh4u exclusive monster. Capcom put a lot of time and effort into this monster.
Back on mh4u, my favourite so far
MH4U is definitely my favorite Monster Hunter game. There was just so much high quality content to be experienced. The Guild Quests and apex monsters also did great in terms of extending the game's replayability after the story and rank up beyond G-rank.
More like these please! As a new MH player and don't have the time to invest playing the older games, a series like this would really be cool. Nice job!
Awesome video Gaijin. I hope this feature series continues, what is your top 5 favorite elder dragons in terms of both gameplay and lore? My favourite elder dragons based on my criteria are,
1. Shagaru magala,
2. Shah Dalamadur
3. Gogmazious
4. Fatalis ( All of them )
5. Amatsu
@@Timotheus24 my apologies for forgetting the best elder dragon in the entire series.
Unfortunately im not gaijin but my top 5 elder dragons are:
1: Gogmazios
2: White Fatalis
3: Shagaru Magala
4: Valstrax
5: Dalamadur
Special mention to Ahtal-Ka and Ukanlos which aren't technically elder dragons despite kind of being on the same level?

1. Amatsu
2. Nergigante
3. Teostra
4. Kulve Taroth
5. Chameleos
Honorable mentions:
Fatalis
Gogmazios
Shagaru Magala
The total lack of Alatreon in this section is disturbing.
I love that, the main theme coming on after the successful cannon shot really does hit you so hard
I would love to see Gog in Monster Hunter Wilds..he needs a return
All the carts, all the je suis monte, and of course THE DEMOLISHER, peak MH action
JE SUIS MONTE
My boi the screaming goat king is back baby!
This monster along with extreme behemoth is one of those fights whish feels so intense an you are so involved with it. And when you get 3 good teamates you feel like a coordinated team. Satisfaction at its finest.
Ahh, another person with good taste! Thank gog!
I don't play Monster Hunter, but have always admired the monster designs. I really enjoyed your showcase of this guy, thank you for putting him on my radar. He feels like something out of a medieval fantasy novel.
Shitty armor but solid weapons. Fighting him for the first time was amazing, and he was apart of my favorite MH game. I was hoping for him in GU but nope.. we got Lao
At least Gog was spared the sight of being hunted down and slain by a team of four cats....
Apart from looking really beastly, its fight is also my most favourite. You get to do so much from salvaging to prepare for battles, fighting up close, shooting cannons, trapping, taking covers, riding carts, riding the monsters, breaking off parts for extra attacks and getting the big attack ready. The Gogma also actively goes after players unlike *coughlaocough* and uses AoE attacks that just send shivers down your spine every time you see them coming. It really test your teamwork ability and how you plan your roles out.
Cool design, cool lore, cool fights, cool armor and weapons (look-wise at least). Easily one of the top monsters ever in MH history for me!
If they release a new MH game for the Switch, I REALLY hope they bring this monstrosity back. They have to!!
Sorry but i can't convince myself to like this dragon, because of PTSD. Specifically, the "bombs over gogmazius" quest.
It is a very cool dragon, but the sheer difficulty of bringing this thing down on that quest really gives me nothing but bad memories. It took me a total of 30 tries to claim my first victory and that even includes an accompanying party of experienced hunters (well, experienced enough to get to that point).
I have to admit, it was the most satisfying victory i have claimed over any monster in that game, and that includes all of the fatalis variants or any elder dragon fight and finally claiming the amatsu armor set. It is also interesting to know of the rep that this dragon had built in the community. Every time i hosted the gog quest, only 20% of hunters that entered the hall actually wanted to stay and participate in the hunt, because of the fear and frustration that the dragon had struck in the hearts of the community, so that is another point.
But still, the shear difficulty and aggression of the dragon accompanied with size and absolute BS hitboxes and fights that can go from 30 seconds (aoe team wipe) to 30 minutes, just to lose, makes me never want to fight it again, especially with a group of inexperienced players.
But remember, this is just my opinion. If you like gog, good for you. Im a monster hunter noob that started the series with monster hunter world and ive been really enjoying 3U, 4U, stories, generations and generations ultimate. I really like the series thus far and is really open to new experiences and opinions.
It really is hard. Because not only does he hits hard and has big range. Unlike other large bosses, it is aggressive as hell. And despite his size, all it takes is one move and you will miss, giving him plenty of time to OHKO you. And then you have thing flying and basically nuking the area, too.
This was a hell of a fight, I still remember it perfectly, it took me and two friends occupied for two nights playing with our 3ds, the game was very much doable untill the g-gogma but against him we once more had to rework our setup and study the perfect strategy, then when we finally managed to use the big cannon and heard proof of a hero playing we literally went to jump over the monster and beat the crap out of it
this is what I love about Monster Hunter, it gives you plenty of challenges, you can either perfect your skill or fancy the most efficient equipment or both to have a strong hand against the monster, it's not perks and level, just your skill and your equipment
I was solo gogmazios and took me 49 and50sec to kill it TT
XD
That was the Caravan Savage Deviljho for me. I had like 15 seconds to spare, used all of my healing items, nullberries and seeds, my dung bombs ran out before the 20 minutes mark and my thumb was sore for the rest of the day, but I downed the bastard with no carts. Easily the most satysfying hunt I ever had, vocally shouted "Yes!" during lecture when it finally died. 10/10 would never put myself through that pain again.
I got 6m left in solo to take it out
Lie
I had no clue that was Gogma as your avatar, or that he was your favorite. Great choice! It's awesome and unique, while still beimg slightly familiar with its Gormagala like body. I also love how he is so big that he has 2 mounting spots! (One for its stomach and one for its back) A memorable monster and battle. 😸
Idk man, that fight leading up to Shagaru Magala was epic, the monster is just awesome, he was our target from the beginning.
gahh, I remember being so hyped up and freaked for that S. Magala fight. I was still working up past 'casual' status with the series, cause I only started playing shortly before 4U came out, started with 3U & didn't get far cause those swim/hunt mechanics pissed me off...so getting to S. Magala and defeating it first time was such a big deal for me..that was when I was like "oh dang, i'm hooked" xD
When I first fought Shagaru it was in Gen. It was fun but it wasn't till i fought it in 4U that I saw what everyone was talking about. I was able to hype myself even more for that fight by creating a backstory for my character. His ancestors had been corrupted by Gore and he was fighting to restore his families honor. I can't say it's my favorite since the only other Elder Dragon I've fought is Kirin. High Rank is hard without friends.
@@DaisyPainted I think MANY people had around the same story (including me). I started playing because i randomnly saw 3U in the library for the wii U and decided to give it a go. I din't get far though, because my young brain found those monsters like Arzuros too terifying on a screen that big. So i switched to 3ds and there i remember the great triumph i had when i had beaten deviljho with no heals, like 10 minutes left but it was all worth it because 1) sweet sweet revenge and 2) i got a gem for it. And then came 4U and then mhXX and then World and probably much much more.
blobvisfan 666 i sadly never got far enough in 3U to face Deviljho, so my first time with him was in MHGU with my group and it was hilarious, cause I was a psycho vaulting all over the place & whacking him while my friends are screaming at him the entire time. I didn't die though! He's not bad except when he decides to pop up in other monster's quests. My top shining moment though was when my friends dragged me into my first Teostra fight, as a Prowler, & didn't give much warning about it...I hopped in on him sleeping, my friends a bit behind, & I comet launched myself at him and was insta-nuked 😂
"My fav. elder dragon"
I see, you're a man of culture as well.
Lao Shan is the BEST Elder Dragon, I'll fight anyone that says otherwise! Great video though :D
Arekkz
Lao Shan is a cool spectacle the first time, but I find he's a pretty dull fight.
So boring.
After 600+ hours and years after stoping playing the game, I managed to defeat It solo.
It was my last Monster Hunter challenge, I had even solo'd Iceborne's Fatalis before Gogma.
As a long time Monster Hunter veteran and fan, this day felt special not only for conquering the last challenge, but for enyoing the content of such an amazing franchise.
Remember the lifepowder save you and your friends got?
Best save ever lol
gaijin hunter sadly even in GU nobody used lifepowder to help me.
awesome video. I loved how you covered concept art, development trivia, armour and some of the weapon thematic qualities. Basically the perfect Monster Feature!
Thanks man! ^^
"Gogmazios is EZ"
*Insert Amatsu EX Quest*
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
This f-ing quest where he already cracked his knuckle and is ready to kick your ass
Gogzilla is one of my fav monsters, definitely a very spooky sludge boi. Nothing more scary than when the music changes and it takes flight 360 noscope exploding everywhere.
I miss them Gogma and Dalamadur in MHGenU. The Switch game would have been perfect.
yusss...haha, my hunting pals for Switch would hate me..I'm a noob to a lot of the harder monsters still, & they don't usually tell me much for prep which is a fun surprise & makes for fun commentary...but I about killed their ear drums in discord first time we tackled Nakarkos together. (I WASN'T MENTALLY PREPARED FOR BONE TENTACLES lol) I'd be making their ears bleed over Gogma xD
I saw that scythe longsword and I screamed "oh dude!" In the library...I got some stares. XD
Design-wise, I kinda prefer Dalamadur, but that fight is a glitchy mess. Gogmazios wins with a badass design, an intimidating theme (seriously, the main violin strings are terryfing), really cool weapon designs, and a combination of size and speed that only an Apex monster can surpass.
I still think MH4U is the best entry of them all. The involved cutscenes alone make it fun to even replay the story in my book. A bit more visual polish and some actual facial expressions, and this would be perfect!
Dala fight being a glitchy mess - finally, someone said it!
Also, lack of facial expressions in cutscenes is hilarious if you have that one face with a toothpick. Every time the game tries so hard to be dramatic, your character is just like "That's all you got? Bitch please...".
These are your best videos man you should really continue this series
this hunt was fun, took me and my friend a lot of tries
Never liked a video so fast. Gogmazios is the best Monster out of the entire series, it's my favorite monster, and elder
The thing is nobody knows if it's a black dragon or not that's something odd also it only appeared in one game as final boss after everything like fatalis and alatreon. Dunno if it can be considered a black dragon tho.
No icon nobody knows a lot about it
its also got a skill only used on other dangerous first class monsters.
I once made a custom quest with two Gore-Magala-sized Gogmas (1 sticky and 1 explosive). It was like a whole new monster at that size and very challenging to keep track of both monsters.
My second favourite Elder Dragon. Please be in MHW.
I love gogmazios sooo much I remember how amazed and powerless I felt when first fighting him, and now today I can solo him. Truly one of the best monsters, I really don’t understand why people seem to not like him that much
My favorite Elder Dragon is Tetsucabra. Make a video about him 😡
You're right. He's a much better Elder Dragon to fight than Kirin and not as annoying!
4U was my first introduction to the series, and man I instantly fell in love with it all. The monsters, the gameplay, and man when I finally got to the end of g rank and toppled this guy? I felt on top of the world. Thanks for finally giving us your thoughts on this monster Gaijin.
I feel that, for the amazing and hard fight that Gogmazios was, his weapons were a kick to the nuts. Low sleep instead of blast and rather low raw (compared to other endgame weps).
Every video of yours about monster hunter, shows how much you love the game so much. And that makes me keep coming back to the game 😂
As a later player to the series I am absolutely in awe of this footage and feel I’ve really missed out on an iconic gaming moment.
I had never seen, much less fought gogmazios, before seeing this video. I'd heard of him and looked forward to hunting him. I pushed through most of g-rank solo, but sometimes had the help of friemds when they were available.
Seeing this video was almost like seeing the love of a lifetime I let slip by. A mix of amazement and regret crept over me. So much that I pulled out my old mh4u edition 3ds I hadn't used in so long. I booted up said game. Looking through all the armor sets and weapons I'd grinded my ass for, remembering my experience getting them, then looking through my old guild card lists of friends I'd played with way back when, I started crying from the nostalgia, and crying is something I very rarely done for sometime now.
When I checked my completed quests, I saw that I was only four quests away, FOUR quests, from getting the gogmazios urgent quest. I was almost going to slap myself for getting so close but not having made it.
I'm really grateful for this video for showcasing this truly awesome monster I'd looked forward to so much, yet never got to see. I was able to remember precious memories from my past, and now have the drive to finish what I started. Even if I were to have to solo him, I'll face gogmazios and chase him to his doom
Again, thank you for this video showcasing this pinnacle monster of my favorite game from my favorite franchise
I remember farming materials to get an artian armor for an artillery god set, the Canon cart thing was fun to operate
I still remember that one side of the tracks would aim the Canon slightly lower and slightly higher on the other side
And the huge cannon in the center is probably one of the most satisfying thing to fire
The coffin charge blade was also one of the best looking weapon in the game.
I hope you have room to talk about molten tiggy too
You forgot to mention this incredible moment when you FINALLY manage to solo him after thousands of tries x)
I loved Gog, spent most of my g-rank fighting him over and over. The arena alone added lots to the fight as it gave everyone so many options on what to do but Gog was an amazing sight, the build up to him was mysterious but I was not prepared for what I saw.
Hands down was the most fun I had in an elder dragon fight ever.
It took a friend of mine about two years to actually successfully get me to play Monster Hunter 4U, my first real foray into the series. A few months after I started I eventually reached G rank and then not long after that we fought Gogmazios together. When we managed to trap Gogma and fire the Demolisher successfully, hearing Proof of a Hero afterwards just, oh my god. It's one of my most treasured moments of all time and I will never forget it.
For that reason, Gogma will hold a special place in my heart as my reward for giving the game another chance and sticking with it.
I love the dark scary looking monsters that 4 introduces, like Gog, gore magala, and dalamadur. I like the fun, goofy monsters too but when capcom decides to make terrifying and intimidating monsters, they really nail it.
How I fucking love it when the Monstehunter signature music starts playing when I'm about to erase a super monster. The goosebumps are supernatural
Gotta do a feature for the big snake boi Dalamadur. Absolutely loved that fight. Still crap myself when he gets down low and tries to swallow the hunter whole.
Shah Dalamadur had hands down the best intro of any monster.
One of the first large elder dragons i could take down on my own, and it felt GREAT!
Honestly, hearing proof of a hero never gets old to me. They used it for Fatalis in world and I loved it.
It's always satisfying to hear it in every siege hunts.
But I would also love for he main themes of the games like Stars at our Back, Wind of Departure, etc. to play.
Aww yeah. I was waiting for this, Gogma is my favorite dragon too.
Honestly one of the most fun hunts with randos ever
Gogmazios was the most unique end game fights I've had. While I've only fought him four times, I can never forget on Fight 3, my lads were about to die and use up the remaining carts, and I managed to barely clip his wing with a canon shot that killed him. Good memories...
Gogma definitely has my favorite elder design, philosophy and all.
Fun extra fact: Gogmazios's icon *IS* in MH4U, just not as a quest/monster icon. It's shown on the G-rank achievements page of your Guild Card (after defeating him).
