Quest : Bane Of All Smith (MR 6*)

Features a buffed Kushala Daora, with my Rusted texture.

It also deals miasma (some attacks), defense down (double or not), ele res down (double or not), and deadly poison (with the landing rush), and iceblight (all attacks).

Rewards are normal Kushala Daora rewards. Ruiner Nergigante, Rajang, and Savage Deviljho can be found in the quest.

A harsh lifetime of constant terrible storms and endless flooding rain has tempered and dulled every single scale and part, now harder than anything on Earth.

Children of Jumbo often sing the story of the Rust Star, who once annihilated a neighboring kingdom close to Schrade, around the same time as Fatalis. The rare remaining reports talk about it being much more aggre
