The real secret of monster hunter is how plesioth can hipcheck you while its 4 dimensions away
No, its the secret of how every monster can get you with a dive although you are behind them.
@@llleonnoelll6940 facts💀
hes 3 dimensions ahead of you.
That fish, I swear I'll never fogive them forever
Old games in a nutshell
The old game cutscenes are much better movies than the actual Monster Hunter movie we got.
Facts
Dude spittin facts!
Is the movie really that bad ? In my country it’s not already available.
So, is it really bad or « ok »?
@@nathangacio5787 visually it's superb and very monster hunter, story and everything else are trash
@@lambchop58 oh okay, thank you very much !
People say that the wings are impenetrable because they can’t even get close to them cause of the fukin wind pressure that sets you off-balance for 5 seconds
Monke
LOL just unload dem poison then go ham on his tail problem solved, or just flash him in the air
@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857 all of your tips no longer work in Mhw. Flash only works once then kushala will immune to it for a while. Hate people who spam flash in kushala daora quest only making the flash immunity longer.
@@rahmathiroyuki3956 well then I guess you're stuck with Wind resistance and HH wind negate songs LOL... just kill 'em quick
@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857 if you stay in front of his head then u wont need any wind negation :)
0:38 "A freshly-wounded Kelbi..."
The Kelbi: *completely dead on the ground*
Don’t worry it’ll revive in a couple of minutes
I don't think that's a Kelbi. Maybe a kind of wild moofa
Clearly the biggest secret of Monster Hunter is how to make a potion
How to make a what?
Pfft stupid. You combine large barrel with gunpowder obviously.
I actually forgot
Idk how to make them, fatalis usually gave them to me
@Mar Vert Neyra it was a joke, but probably you are a troll
Capcom needs to make a monster hunter animated movie.
The intros for all games are amazing.
They are. It's call monster hunter legends of the guild. It was supposed to come out two years ago but it didn't. From what I know they are still making it.
@@spacemegalodon5049 this comment aged well
I’ll tell you now - they did for Netflix - it’s quite disappointing and childish- given how serious the game is with it’s lore and game…
@@zoenayru This couldn't be more wrong. The games were never that "serious", especially the characters that are present in the movie. The excitable A-Lister is as goofy and clumsy as in 4U and world, and the other guys just behaved like they did in the games. The dialogues in the games were definitely not serious, have you ever seen how the guildmarm (and the other quest-ladies from the other games) are talking in the games?
The Felynes and Melynx are also absolutely not serious in any game, they are talking in puns all the time. Same with so many other NPC's that you can talk to in the towns, constantly joking. Not to mention the Quest descriptions, they have always been over the top. The cutscenes in general were also whacky, especially when Felynes were involved. The animated movie nailed so many references and quirks that are present in the games, it's insane. It seems like you've never played anything else besides World (which is the most serious MH Game) or you have never paid any attention to detail at all. I'd suggest playing 4 Ultimate, that's the game in which the Hunter group that is present in the movie has appeared for the first time, and is packed with funny dialogues as well with a serious story - just like the movie; the movie was basically made with 4U setting in mind.
@@Mekudan - The lore is dark and could’ve been made like the Witcher - Yes the dialogues are suppose to be fun because it’s a game - but reading the actual stories behind monster and how they act - the movie wasn’t bad is was just disappointing IMO
I'd like to see some lore on Gore Magala. How he turns into Shagaru Magala or Chaotic Gore Magala when he fails to mold properly.
I heard that shagaru magala purposefully interrupts the transformation of gore magalas to not get competion, resulting in chaotic gore magala
@@Edujs23 that is really interesting
@@Edujs23 "Fuck you, no more shagaru privilege"
That is an amazing idea
Everything the Hunters before me have stated is correct and if you want to see it happen play Sunbreak it happens before your eyes. Magala are in my top five
Kushala's got that "classic yet still unique" feel that I get from Rathalos and Fatalis.
Fuckit, the nostalgia is hitting hard with that intro
I love MH2 opening. The controls, not so much though.
brain: are you trying to sleep?
me: yes, now shut up
brain: *NERGIGANTE CAN REPRODUCE ASEXUALLY-*
also I love that dos has some of the earliest reports of kushala daora's existence, and by the time the Commission sets out to the New World it's the poster boy of elder dragons, the big bad dragon parents probably warn their kids about to scare them, everyone knows of it. Just gives an idea of the time span in lore between some games.
Technically, fatalis can also reproduce asexually~
@@sinteleon Hes not reproduce, He is basically Immortal
@@user-rw8vs1we3y no fatalis scales can regenerate into an entirely new fatalis.
@@ciphymasterofmedia9104 and that’s terrifying.
*ooh this looks awesome already! I love lore videos and what better then from TDS*
Kushala's theme is the best piece of music in the series. I never really notice the music in the game but fighting Kushala is an event to me. Those swings of music make me feel something, like I'm in awe of the monster. This theme made me become more aware of other monster's themes and added a whole new level to the hunts. Maybe my favorite monster in the game.
11:22 this scene gives me shivers
just watched it and can agree
Mh4u memories intensify
When the giant gale dragon says “Wait...I remember you, wretched worm. I’ll finish what I started!”.
Wow it does
I gotta say, the production Quality of TDS Videos by now is at a point where it could easily be official Capcom content made to advertise the Games! Keep going guys we love your videos!
Should be noted that Daora also has a normal skeleton (endoskeleton) unlike that of a invertebrate. You can see the vertebra when you cut it's tail. The exoskeleton is a more like armour than an actual skeleton like those of invertebrate.
11:22 I'm 100% certain that Rusted Kushala remembers Julius in that cutscene.
Yeah but from what
@@splatonk That giant scar in it's face might be an hint.
@@splatonk Or he wouldn't even just come close to him and make a stare down
@@gabigab7240 Yeah but is it from an off-screen battle or have we seen Julius and the kushala clash before
@@splatonk it's explained in the story that Julius' master caused the scar when he saved Julius from the Kushala. They were no match for the elder dragon, but Julius refused to retreat and almost got himself killed. The Master scarred the Kushala while also recieving a fatal wound in the process. He survived, but his hunting career was over. That's why the Kushala is Julius' nemesis.
Yama Tsukami, i'm sad that this flying elder dragon octopus was forgotten, it could be so unique monster on world engine.
I want ridge wallet made of fatalis skin.
Ooooh this seems interesting. Also, Dire Miralis next would be nice.
Fun fact: Daora in brazilian portuguese its equal to "cool" or "awesome"
This was sooo cool. i love going back and seeing how the games presented all this info.
Makes kushala feel like a weird storm elemental steel butterfly.
Fun Fact: Besides Kushala was the Flagship of MH2, the series also introduced LS, HH, GL, and Bow
What is GL?
@@Noah-kc2pi Gunlance
@@Zip-xj9qo ah ok thank you
Those four weapons were the chosen weapons carried by the 4 hunters in the Jungle part of the intro.
Kushala Daora can also be found in 2nd generation desert, in MHFU
ikr smh
6:38 This actually give credence to a theory of mine; that Velkhana actually started life as a Kushala Daora, before gaining its icy powers after consuming or absorbing power from the crystals left behind by Shara Ishvalda, and the Legiana lured by its song. That as it molted, it gained the icy powers imprinted on its shell, allowing it to form the ice armor it utilizes in battle.
Additionally, I believe that Vaal Hazak was spawned when the effluvium fungus infected the cast-off molt of a Kushala Daora, gaining mobility and some wind manipulation powers as a result.
Cool theory
@@filippietruczuk AHA. HA. HA.
The Monster Hunter Orange manga has a couple of nice ideas that I'd like to see in the games, like the whip-sword and most importantly the wind attribute in weapons, either as just a new element, a status effect that slows down some of the monster's moves or even as a brand new kind of attribute beside elements and statuses
6:42 ohh thats a kushalas scales.... I though when I was a kid it was some dragon that died there
Hope you do a lot more of these. I love listening to these types of videos during work.
cant wait for mhRise content
Can’t wait for your next video in 2 years
@@yukibananana I knew there was gonna be a comment about the upload schedule 💀
I could listen to Chris talk all day. Man your voice is soothing. You sound like a really nice person lol (I hope this isn't weird)
Nah it's not weird it's just polite
Are we getting more of these Lore videos?
I think they're really interesting and educational! Hope for more
Dalamadur or maybe nakarkos (love those two babies, the nakarkos could be kind of hard to deal with as we do not have many informations about it 😗)
Wind weapons would be interesting! I'd personally love if Elder Dragon weapons were differentiated with unique effects rather than standard elements.
Using the Elder Dragons from World as an example, let's say that Kushala's weapons could have increased attack range, utilizing its horns to create dangerous wind pressure from a distance. For bows and bowguns, this could mean faster, or further flying ammo types.
For Teostra's, it could mean the ability to utilize Fire and Blast at the same time, with every attack, unlike some Dual Blades which only have one element on one blade. For bowguns, perhaps this could mean enhanced Special ammo types, like Wyvernblast, Wyvernsnipe, and Wyvernheart dealing additional Fire or Blast damage.
For Vaal Hazak, while weapons are drawn, you would be wrapped in a damaging aura that slowly eats away at a Monster's HP, while very slowly healing you at the same time.
And for Nergigante, the weapons could slowly regenerate Sharpness, similar to how Nergigante's spikes slowly harden over time. Not sure what it could mean for ranged weapons, though.
These are just random ideas, really. Felt like getting them out lol
It helps that science is kinda loose in MH. It doesn't make sense how slapping a detached Kushala's horn to a weapon would make it control wind accurately, but then again, slapping a Fire T-rex's fur to a slab of bone somehow makes it set things on fire.
Excellent video and your narration style is very good. Keep it up. Hope you'd continue doing more videos like these.
That was a great watch. Thank you very much for this wonderful video! ❤
I hope we got a lot of these episodes! This is really cool!
How about a video on Chameleos? Just to honor its return in Rise :D
This video immediately earned my subscription. I can’t wait for more of these!
I'm amazed at the quality of this video, keep up the good work team!
The exoskeleton bit was really interesting! Although I’d also like to point out that due to elder dragon bones in the quest rewards for Kushala hunts, this also implies they have an internal skeleton as well as an exoskeleton. So this guy has two skeletons, and one of them is made of metal. Just thought that was cool
Strangely enough even small Hermitaurs and Ceanataurs drop bones so I guess MH crabs also have an endoskeleton
I thought there won’t be any lore vids but u guys came with something better...Thanks !
this is awesome bro please keep update this content i really love this, much love
5 Fun facts not included,
1. If you pay attention to the Cathar Guru's Dialogue, he makes reference to the fact that the Kushala you fight in 4u is in fact the very same one from Dos, as with the help of his brother (the Jumbo Village Chief) he'd been warned of the coming Kushala after it had been fought off from Jumbo.
2. Kushala eats ore, this can be observed as far back as the second generation if there were ore deposits available in the jungle.
3. Kushala was technically the first monster in the series to have the Elder Dragon Classification, as it was invented by the guild in Gen 2. So even though Lao, Kirin, and Fatalis came first, Kushala is the first by classification.
4. Some varieties of Kushala native to the regions around Val Habar and other locales in 4u have exhibited the ability to naturally produce ice, this was a push by the developers in the 4th generation to establish Kushala as an ice monster.
5. The Scarred Rusted Kushala in 4u is the only monster in the series that we have not killed in-game, nor did it directly go to it's demise like Zorah. Since it's battle ended in a standard repel, and regarding the fact it has survived encounters with hunters before, it might very well still be alive.
What were Kirin, Lao and Fatalis classified as in the first game? I never got that far.
@@kingofflames738 Sorry I needed to correct myself. In game they're still divided into the ED classification, but the Guild only really made it an official classification during the events of Gen 2.
So it's the first in-canon monster to garner the classification.
Ive noticed with kushala's torso design seems similar to gills on fish
im assuming its apart of helping kushala fly easier or more likely to suck wind internally to fire it back out?
Possibly just how kushala looks and actually surves no or little purpose but the design of its torso looks fairly similar to gills
I’m subscribing just for this lore series, good shit man.
So basicely the red rocket would be nice.
Please Valstrax next he is sooo cool and intresting
Ragegamingvideos has already done a lore video on Valstrax if you want to learn about the best monster.
Watching the 4U cinematics again made me realize the the Ace leader is a wrestler from the 80's and 90's WWF.
this kind of content is BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE IT
This was amazing! I am patiently waiting for the ceadus videos :)
Damn this channel has been improving keep it up!
Pretty cool video format, I'd like to see one about frenzy virus and its consequences on monsters. It would be really cool
The inclusion of Nergigante adds an interesting dynamic to the tiers of elder dragon it preys upon, in that they are subjected to the classic predator-prey arms race that had previously been thought irrelevant to such powerful creatures. Kushala's metal armor would certainly make sense as an adaptation against the jaws of its predator. Of course, as said in the video, the disadvantage of this strategy comes into play when it has to molt, as then it is entirely vulnerable. No doubt a pivot of the relationship between these creatures is how competently a Nergigante can track a rusted individual, and in turn the rusted individual's ability to evade it.
Loved the video!
05:27 The detail of the shed bending is awesome because they could have easily made it so it softens to make it easier for Kushala emerging but they decided on the cooler option.
Am I the only one who would like to know more about Chameleos?
Ragegamingvideos has done a lore video on him if your curious, my friend.
@@jackkrell7313 Never hear of him. Thank you, Very nice ceasar chan ;)
@@thomaschollet2938 nice jojo reference, my dude!
@@jackkrell7313 NIIIIIICEE XD
Thank you for the vibes Chris 👏🏽
Im interested in Alatreon, actually im interested in every black dragon in the series.
I started with World and personally I wanna know wtf is going on with Dalamadur because I see a ton of giant ass snake skeletons in the Vale lmao
Omg I love this ! I learned so much ! Please make more of those ! 🥺🙏🏽
This is great keep doing these
Hopefully this thing gets enough views to keep you going because I really really enjoy this content
all the detail of monster is fascinating, looking forward for more!!
Really dig that you put Lovesong for a Deadman from the Tranzit map in Black Ops 2 Zombies as the music for the sponsored ad
What a great video guys! I would love to see about Rajang
I feel like you should have started this series maybe more than a week before a brand new monster hunter game comes out LOL, you guys are gonna have your hands full! Shame, I don't want you to sleep on this series, really enjoyed this first episode!
If you ever do any more of these, I would love to see one on Dah'ren Mohran, which is straight up my favorite elder in the series
Really impressive vid. I was always interested in such topics. Would be cool to see shah dalamadur and how that serpent-like creature became the fundament of the Rotten Vale in MHW
I'm loving this, please keep this up
yooo this was amazing i'd love more of this with just about every monster haha
This is probably the best video you ever made.
As a person who got into monster hunter from world and the first video is about probably my favorite monster in MHW i am very pleased....
Yamatsukami next please :)
This is really cool! Keep up the good work. Hope you do The Fated Four
I'd love to see more lore videos on some of the massive monsters like ラヴィエンテ(Laviente), Dalamadur, the Mohrans, Lao, and even Gogmazios.
Same. Gogmazios is a beast, the fact that it can fly is mind blowing
Love it! Awesome and interesting Video ☺️ would Love to see garuga next ☺️
Very cool video! I would love to see one on some of the pack hunters like the Jaggi family or Velocidrome.
I would definitely wanna see an Amatsu video, I mean not cause he's my fave monster or anything...
I like this, thanks for posting!
This was a really good vid!
I'm already liking this series, learned a lot about Kushala.
That was really cool, I thoroughly enjoyed that!
Well, I'm interested to hear what you guys would say about the one and only Deviljho. I think Pickle deserves some spotlight. Savage Pickle too!
Loving the lore vids
I don’t find Kushala as annoying as other people for some reason. My first kill was with DB and I had zero problems
Same
A dalamadur story would be great
Fantastic video! I'd love to see other elder dragon secrets, specially the Fatalis trio... but I'm down for Deviljho and Rajang as well.
I would love to see some Fatalis lore, as well as information regarding the Crimson and White subspecies
We need more of this kind of lore vids, please do a Teostra and Lunastra lore please. :)
Did you know in ruined tower in MH freedom Unite you can find Decayed Dragon Scales when minning the tower walls? The same material you can find in kushala shedded skin on top of the snowy mountain.
I heard that tower was build by killing a bunch of Kushala Daoras just for their metal material.
You should do some more, I love hearing about these, can you do Zorah Magdaros and the rise monsters
*Back in my day we were told that we can cut Fatalis’s tail*
A mitte correction to your exoskeleton statement: Daoro must possess a skeleton like every other dragon. Just because you can receive elder dragon bones from him. So his steel exterior is an additional exoskeleton or just his harden metall skin
In MH4U there is another shed shell of Kushala in the Frozend Seaway as well, always love to got see it.
Kushala has been my favorite Elder for years even before I ever got the chance to hunt it for the first time, absolutely love everything about it. Awesome vídeo!
Kushala is my favourite ^^ although not my favourite to fight at all xD would love to see a lore video about Dire Miralis :3
I hope we are getting something like this for the maps and towns in the future
More of this, please!
Epic episode.
Also Dalamadur next please
Good video. Here’s like one of the biggest secrets of Monster Hunter, except for Japanese readers only for other readers (for MH2 only came out in Japan), is of all the conversation text the NPC Jumbo Villagers (& Dundorma NPCs) says between from quest level progression to quest level progression. Like what the Jumbo Chief saying? Who’s the female wyvernian lady comes into the village later, that the MH wiki lacks info of? Like what’s her intro? Same for the NPCs in Kokoto village in Dos, like when first time going there what the first thing the Kokoto Chief says to you? Is he a grouch to the hunter for being from another village likewise in MHGU? (“Jaggi balt” & the diaper insult he says to the hunter in Generations) What does he say during night when he’s over where his sword is embedded at? Is he paying respect to his deceased fiancée there, & his conversation is likely talking about what happened to his fiancée during that time? Many questions!
I'm so happy you included the Kushala Daora ecology video from freedom unite
You forgot to mention the fact that kushala tend to molt in high altitudes. With examples being on top of mountains to have as little oxygen effecting their freshly molten layer until it hardens, as this can effect the integrity of the exoskeleton when initially hardening.
This is genuinely amazing. The lore in this series is fantastic, and your work here will hopefully educate many generations of hunters to come.
For the next lore video, i would love to see Nakarkos or Amatsu Magatsuchi. Those two elder dragon are pretty interesting and it should be interesting to, to compare Amatsu Wind manipulate to Kushala Daora power.
Thanks in advance, love lore series btw :D
