Capcom says Monster Hunter's rumored 'desire sensor' is an urban legend

Monster Hunter games have quite an urban legend attached to them. Players have, for years thought that the game uses a 'desire sensor'. This sensor supposedly detects loot the player is searching for, and automatically make it harder to find. Here's what series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto had to say about the rumor.

“You should probably wear gloves when you play. Try not to sweat, because it’s sensing your nervousness from the sweat on your hands. To be honest, that’s something that’s a popular urban legend. We actually hear that a lot, but it’s just a form of confirmation bias. When you’re looking for something specific, it feels like you never come across it. I myself experience that while playing—we’re all on an even playing field. That is absolutely not a thing. What people are seeing is just confirmation bias.”

If you mine Jhen Moran's back it heals him.

If you use the wall when you fight Alatreon, you don't get Skypiercers.

Fuck I love MH's urban myths... XD



I heard you can find a Mew when you move that truck!

My favorite Monster Hunter urban legend is the one that Khan started. The one about Rathalos being a difficult monster to hunt.
