Plot Overview of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
In a world plagued by growing crystal encroachment affecting the lands of Azuria and Vermeil, hope surfaces with the discovery of a mysterious egg. Interestingly, this egg hatches a Rathalos, a monster previously believed to be extinct. However, the emergence of a second hatchling—another Rathalos—signals impending doom. Both share markings akin to the fabled twin Skyscale Rathalos, a foreboding reminder of a civil war that occurred 200 years prior.
