So, Kirin in Monster Hunter World has always been an insanely easy and powerful matchup for Hammer, so really this run is nothing special, and I'm sure there's runs out there that are twice faster than this one.
Regardless, I wanted to record this because Kirin is still cool, and the top of the Coral Highlands while fighting Kirin has some of the best visuals in the entire game to me, and I was lucky to capture that during the sunset too, which gives the area a beautiful beige color for a very short time.
So I wanted to showcase that as well.
Kirin was a pretty bad and uninteresting fight in the old engine despite its unique appearance. World set the bar much higher by giving it a brand new and epic look, and a slightly more functioning moveset.
I think Kirin is actually one of the best fights in World, despite being a returning fight. It's definitely much more interesting than the likes of newcomers like Paolumu or Radobaan. An effort was definitely put into the Elder Dragons in general, since they were the focus of World's "story".
Also I tried to capture some Tempered Kirin gameplay instead but I ran out of investigations while doing tries to get Kirin to spawn in this area, so I gave up and decided to just do regular MR Kirin, not that there is much of a difference anyways.
