Verdant Hills (MHER)

The Verdant Hills (also known as the Forest and Hills) is a recurring locale in the Monster Hunter series first introduced in the original Monster Hunter and so far having made it's most recent appearance in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. In Monster Hunter: Echoing Roars, it reappears as a stage. This stage is unlocked after you tame or defeat either a Rathalos or Astalos for the first time. It is considered the homestage of Rathalos and Astalos. However it is more for Rathalos. The stage takes place in Area 4 of the Verdant Hills. Players can now fall off the ledges of the map, but there are still walls to keep that from happening. Spots where players can fall off are the exits and the sides of the map without walls. There is a small platform, a ramp and a larger cliff that all can be used. There are also bushes that are merely there to be decoration, however smaller monsters the player character can use these to hide in battles with more than two players. They can be burned off by fire, though.

There are Vespoids seen buzzing in the background, which can also be hit. Sometimes you might spot a Rathalos or Rathian flying in the skies.

Music Themes
Players may choose which track would play, or have it randomized. If the track is randomized, it will randomize again if a new match is started right after the previous match.
