Cutscenes
Location : Coastal Mangrove, Area 4

Synopsis : The hunter enters Area 4 and spots a Great Kerahnos and its pack near the riverbank. They seem to be looking for fish, and yet seem wary. The hunter hides behind a large rock, observing. A Slagtoth then appears out of the brush, trying to sneak past the pack. Unfortunately, the pack does in fact notice. They all turn to the herbivore and start surrounding it. The Great Kerahnos prepares to pounce, only for a Piscine Wyvern to lunge out of the river and grab the pack leader by the neck. The hunter watches in shock as the Sanogrona flails the Great Kerahnos around in its jaws. The younger Kerahnos and the Slagtoth flee the scene and Sanogrona tosses the Great Kerahnos towards the rock the hunter was hiding behind. The rock breaks and forces the hunter to come out of hiding. The Great Kerahnos gets up and also flees, leaving the hunter alone with Sanogrona. Sanogrona hisses at the hunter and the hunt begins.
