User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Week: Dire Miralis/@comment-5398869-20131008202304

Dire Miralis is one of the few monsters who still makes me a little nervous to fight, but in a good way. My only issue is how annoying it is to break parts when trying to solo him. I had to take up bowgunning to start busting his wings because lancing was not doing it for me.

When I fought him in my urgent I was freaking out, because watching other people fight him, and then fighting him yourself... way different. But that moment when he dies... ah, it was pure delight. I think he's an awesome monster and is definitely a favourite to come out of the 3rd generation. A lot more fun to farm than the regular Ceadeus (and not nearly as stupidly stingy >>) And unlike Ceadeus, Miralis does manage to knock me out occasionally, usually from me being greedy with attacks. And Miralis attacks hurt a LOT more.

Plus, when he drops on all fours... eesh, I'm all over the place. "Oh no please don't charge me ahhhh swim away!"
