Zinogre is just all-round satisfying to hunt. When I first fought him I was getting my butt handed to me because I was taken aback by his flashy (literally) moves but once I got my head around it wasn't too bad.

My opinion is that he's easier than Brachydios. With the Rime and Treason LS (693 raw, 150 Ice, solid blue Sharpness) and fully upgraded (until Heavy Armour Spheres) Brachydios armour (although Barroth armour has better base Thunder Res.) You can wrap the Quest up after about 15 minutes. With Brach it takes me about 5-7 minutes longer.
