So I'm new to hunting fire giants, ash hags, etc. But I quickly found out that the most dangerous part of hunting here is the stupid environmental major e-wave effect that occurs every few minutes. Is there some way of preventing or avoiding this random death effect? Most of the time I dodge it or simply receive RT, but I never know when I'm going to get randomly slammed for an instant death.
If I'm just supposed to deal with this, I'm afraid I don't get it. Why design an area where the environment just randomly and unavoidably kills you from time to time? What's the point? Is that supposed to be fun or exciting? It just seems like a waste of time to me. If I were expected to respond to cues in the environment in order to avoid this effect, then that would at least be something. But as far as I can tell, this just happens when you're in the area where these monsters spawn. Is there something I'm missing?
The unmistakable sound of steam rushing through vents in the volcanic terrain reverberates heavily in the air. Suddenly, a powerful jet of steam moves through the area.
You are buffeted by the roiling cloud of steam, and knocked to the ground.
You are pinned in place, unable to move.
Roundtime: 18 sec.
... 65 points of damage!
Superheated steam turns your intestines into a fine delicacy!
