Monster Hunter Wilds Arkveld ‘speedrun’ bests four minutes with surprise exploit

Have you fought Chained Arkveld in the Monster Hunter Wilds beta yet? The new trial for Capcom’s upcoming RPG lets you go toe-to-toe with its fearsome flagship monster, and it’s a terrifying first taste. Fast, aggressive, and with long-range attacks using its signature chains, the cover star is a serious threat, especially given that we’re going up against it undergeared and with a 20-minute time limit. But some players have encountered a particularly powerful bug that allowed them to bring the beast down in less than four minutes in total.
