Amazing work. Just got some advice: You can readjust the cannons by standing by the side of them. Always eat before going on a mission. It can give you more health and stamina
I thought I'd give some answers to things you ask "What's an Elder Dragon": It's not age. Elder Dragon is a classification of Monster which basically means "Unexplainable" in lore terms. Basically creatures which cannot be controlled and hold immense power, and attributes which cannot be fully understood. (An example would be "Anjanath" can breath fire because he has a flame sac, and the fins on his back help regulate the internal heat, hence why his fins flair before he can breath fire, where as nergigante... how does he heal so quickly? How do his spikes constantly grow? Elder Dragon...all we got) Elder Dragons every existence in an area can also bring extreme trouble. They can be considered walking calamities. A simple example would one called "Kushala Daora" who is a Metal Dragon who controls wind. Using wind to fly and can casually cause Hurricanes and storms in an area. If it migrates to your town, said town could be destroyed by hurricans, tornados, torrental winds etc. In the lore, only a very VERY exclusive few have ever been able to best a Elder Dragon. (However we're the protags of these games. We beat Elder Dragons for breakfest in the late game. The games thankfully admit that we must be legendary hunters to be able to do so). In Monster Hunter World, you have traveled to "the New World" an unexplored area where Elder Dragons are said to Migrate to. Making it very dangerous...but who could resist the mystery! (ahem..spoilers. MH games have some great lore....but usually pretty bad stories... heh. We love em all the same)
@@TheAdarkerglow Mechanically yes. Though I dont like bringing up Elderseal from world. It's a bit of a shaky topic as it has no lore relavence and doesnt exist outside of world at all. and technically only existed Because Chameleos didn't make the cut into World. ElderSeal replaced the long standing weaknesses elder dragons had. Like...not in addition too....but flat out replaced. and that has never repeated since since. Ex: Elderseal turns off Kushala Daora's wind barrior. Well... every game before and after World, poison did that. Kushala is suppose to be weak to poison. That's how the trio always worked. Kushala Daora, Chameleos, and Teostra. They show up together and all contain the others weaknesses Long story short, i dont really talk about elderseal. it existed mechanically, but it has no lore, or explanation for it. I could go on and on about a lot of World's flaws, but than someone gonna accuse me of not spending over 1000 hours on it and loving every minute.
If I remember correctly, an elder dragon always has 4 legs on top of a pair of wings. For example rathlos only has a pair of wings and a pair of legs, but nergigante has 2 pairs of legs and a pair of wings.
There's actually a line after the Teostra fight. Apparently, I think the Huntsman may or may not imply that Handler's Grandfather to have been a Player Character. Earnestly, that's impressive and I gained a new degree of respect for Handler after.
so for anyone curious Elder Dragons are just monsters that are very powerful, or have completely unnatural unexplained abilities. ppl just throw different monsters into the category whenever they come across something wierd. So for example, Tobi Kadachi is just a thunder monster because he has organs to store and produce electricity alongside his conductive fur, there is a degree of logic to it. An Elder Dragon meanwhile would be a monster that calls down lightning despite having NO perceivable explanation AT ALL. So yeah, if it's powerful and wierd, they're usually Elder Dragons. Except for Akantor and Ukanlos, those are two flying wyverns due to phylogenetic trees.
You just popped up in my recommended videos and I think I'll be sticking around - very entertaining to watch new player playing an all time favourite. Eat something before a Quest to become a great hunter 💪
I’m so glad this video got recommended, love seeing a new player go through all these experiences that so many of us hunters hold near and dear. Enjoy your time with it, I’m definitely sticking around to see you become a veteran.
To my understanding, the barrier existed more to inconvenience Zorah and as a platform for siege equipment than it is to stop him. That's what cannons and ballistas are for. Not to mention, the barrier is high enough, that it forces Zorah to stand up either way in order to break it, given he hardly has any speed whilst crawling.
Whether its you or someone you know that's making them, I have to say I absolutely love the little doodles of the monsters in the thumbnails. Definitely makes your video thumbnails stand out and look unique!
Also goofy sound effects are always a hit or miss bc a lot of people do them too much or it feels too much like "hahaha isnt this so funny and meme-y" but I absolutely love the incorporation of yours lol, they're perfect, especially with your style of editing
0:35 There’s a couple of separate qualifiers for Elder Dragons! First is: the Elder Dragon body archetype of four legs and two wings. This is the easiest classification for an ED you can get. These are invariably powerful beings, and their presence is like the looming power of a natural disaster. The second qualification is that they simply defy explanation- science seems to hold little bearing on how they behave, how they harness the elements, or how their bodies function. This includes size: some Elder Dragon species can grow large enough to coil around mountains, or so gigantic that it takes a fleet of sandships merely to restrain one for a few seconds. It’s an incredibly varied category, and full of curiosities.
I always enjoy watching people learn and enjoy any games in the monster hunter series. I will be sticking around, and can't wait to see you evolve into a great hunter!
Bro, please eat food so that you get higher health and stamina bars. Collect monster tracks so that your scoutflies track it, or you can open the map and manually choose what you want to track.
You'd spend a lot less time wandering around to find monsters if you watch the scoutflies to find traps. It's been fun watching you experience the game. Keep going! And just wait till you reach high rank...
loving this playthrough so far, always a good time seeing new hunters grow, overcome their first wall monsters and progress in their first game of the series. elder dragons have 3 main characteristics, each usually following at least 2 of them, 1 doesn't fit in any established monster type, 2 power akin to a natural disaster such as a volcano turtle, and 3 the power it has can't be explained by the knowledge in the world so it's almost like magic. zorah being captured as a plan was always memed because even the smallest elders can't be captured. hostile wingdrakes helping you guard point the roar lmao this is great.
I remember how clueless I was when I first play this game and decide to meld my only attack jewel because idk what I'm doing.🤣 and now I'm received both miniature and Large Gold Crown for all Monster after year of playing.
5:15 That's what it feels like when you're playing on line and three sexy senpai with endgame gear come to rescue and kill that monster for you in no time.🥰 8:32 Bruh, that's her nest, that's why.😝
World is my first MH game but i do a bit research before playing so when the game threw Nergigante right front my face in that mission i'm literally freezing man 🤣
You earned my subscribe. Very entertaining videos! Make sure to pick up tracks after monsters. It says "???" before you picked enough of them, and once you have the monster will be on your map and the scoutflies will lead you to them in future hunts. Making it faster reaching your target. It's also a good idea to pick up everything you run past. Bones, rocks, honey, flowers. You will most likely use it at some point in the future for armor or crafting. 100 is never enough! XD
As a fairly seasoned Veteran of MH allow to give you the best advice I can give....Don't give up. Some days your wailing on monsters and feeling on top of the world, other days you are getting your ass handed to you by a damn dirty ape who does not know the meaning of "No Touchie!!" You will hit a wall and it starts to look impossible.... but then, just as you think all is lost you think "Oh he is about to do this" and you dodge him. Then it all starts to click, you know his moves, you know how he fights and now your the one doing the ass whooping. So enjoy the journey, because as someone once said: "You only experience your first MH game ONCE and that feeling won't happen again"
Ah yes you have now learned of the annoying elder known as Zorah Magdoros. Honestly I can't wait for you to fight Nergigante 2 to 4 more times depending on if you decide to by the Iceborne DLC
Elder Dragons: Just a classification of monster that is stronger than normal monsters. Doesn't have to be literal dragons, as there is a monster coming up that is classified as an Elder Dragon, but is clearly not a dragon. Yeah, that Zorah fight is...confusing. It's mostly scripted, so lots of speedrunners just try to hit all the break points as quickly as they can to get through it because it's a scripted outcome. It's like an introduction to the Siege mechanic, and you'll see why the community feels the way it does about the fight later when you fight Zorah for real. As others mentioned, definitely eat before a hunt. It's free 50 HP if you eat Chef's choice, since Chef's Choice uses "fresh ingredients." You can eat a custom meal without fresh ingredients, but you're less likely to get the full amount of HP and skills. Still, your starting health is 50 HP, so eating food effectively doubles your health to 100 HP. You can increase it to 200 HP through the Health Boost skill, but I would argue you don't really need to worry about it too much in Low Rank. Keep it up! Love watching the new player experience!
Getting lost in coral highland the first time you got there Congratulations on completing that rite of passage (Spoiler alert) There’s way more layers of explorable area than i will ever bother to remember
Also try eating before hunts it gives you buffs and useful skills. You get a bonus to health and stamina for using fresh ingredients and the type of dish you eat determines what buffs and skills you get
to answer your question, what counts as an elder dragon, think of a monster, but like REALLY strong.... aside from a few monsters that can 100% kill an elder dragon but arent an elder... and some elder dragons are babies? and uh-.....i dont know man...
Ya, no one really likes Zorah. He's pretty boring imo cuz unlike other siege monsters throughout the series, he doesn't go based off HP values, he has to actually walk to certain points to trigger event flags like Nergigante showing up, which makes his fight *incredibly* slow compared to others
Ah yes. The confusion of running around the map looking for the zone that triggers the cutscene 😂
Good times.
and somehow ending up at the highest point of the map like it's honestly an impressive fumble
that and getting lost on zora's back triggered some good memories for me
In today's episode of... Local Canadian's Tree obliterate Japanese Godzilla
Godzilla is actually from japan-
I’d like my Godzilla with extra Japanese in it
Just discovered him, he's Canadian? OOOOOOHH! 👍

And mechanically, it means they're immune to traps (thus can't be captured), and can be affected by Elderseal weapons.

"Lost on Zorah's back"
Arent we all. I still get lost to this day
5:14 he's 'our' hunter that we play back in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite... It's like a homage to an old series
There's actually a line after the Teostra fight.
Apparently, I think the Huntsman may or may not imply that Handler's Grandfather to have been a Player Character.

He's literally me fr fr

You're saying that things like a mountain-sized volcano turtle and lightning-summoning unicorn are inexplicable creatures?
@@jamesproctor4568yeah, its mostly because a lot of them doesn’t make sense biologically, and therefore are classified as elder dragons
also they have 4 legs unlike other flying wyverns wich is why kirin is elder dragon too
Im glad to see I wasnt the only person lost on Zorah Magdaros' back 😂
You just popped up in my recommended videos and I think I'll be sticking around - very entertaining to watch new player playing an all time favourite. Eat something before a Quest to become a great hunter 💪
The "did we do it" after like 5 cannonballs killed me😂
Initiate the countdown for Safi, Ala and Fatty.
I’m so glad this video got recommended, love seeing a new player go through all these experiences that so many of us hunters hold near and dear. Enjoy your time with it, I’m definitely sticking around to see you become a veteran.
After all these years I still think it’s funny that the hunters try to stop a walking volcano with a wooden gate.
To my understanding, the barrier existed more to inconvenience Zorah and as a platform for siege equipment than it is to stop him.
That's what cannons and ballistas are for. Not to mention, the barrier is high enough, that it forces Zorah to stand up either way in order to break it, given he hardly has any speed whilst crawling.
Elder dragon classification are like powerful monsters that lived since ancient times. Some are considered myth and legendary.
Whether its you or someone you know that's making them, I have to say I absolutely love the little doodles of the monsters in the thumbnails. Definitely makes your video thumbnails stand out and look unique!
Also goofy sound effects are always a hit or miss bc a lot of people do them too much or it feels too much like "hahaha isnt this so funny and meme-y" but I absolutely love the incorporation of yours lol, they're perfect, especially with your style of editing
Thanks! And yes I draw them myself
Pro tip: never eat before hard missions as an absolute power play
After beating all of iceborne with nothing left but modding this sure is refreshing...
There’s always Rise and GU and 3U and 4U… 😊

saved for creatures like kirin, who is probably the weirdest elder dragon
@@jikko8637 Giant Dragons, ranging from the classic ones to manticore like to world ending serpents. And then there's Kirin. H O R S E
@@Bloodskaal00 ah yes, the lightning crazed mythical H O N S E

Yesss you’re continuing
Bro, please eat food so that you get higher health and stamina bars.
Collect monster tracks so that your scoutflies track it, or you can open the map and manually choose what you want to track.
I will be watching your MH career with great interest lol this was exactly what I was looking for hope to see you at the top someday
You're very fun to watch and it's always exciting to see someone discover, specifically, the Monster Hunter Addiction. I will be very tuned in
Gotta love seeing another soul lost in the highlands, reminds me of when I first played
Yooooo tree playing my favorite series,i do hope you enjoy it very much
You'd spend a lot less time wandering around to find monsters if you watch the scoutflies to find traps.
It's been fun watching you experience the game. Keep going! And just wait till you reach high rank...
Let’s goooo! Series locked in
(TREE when he fires two cannons) did we do it?!
Love watching a new player enjoy this series❤❤❤❤ makes me feel like I'm experiencing this for the first all over again.
loving this playthrough so far, always a good time seeing new hunters grow, overcome their first wall monsters and progress in their first game of the series.

“Why are you even here?”
“This is where I live, why are YOU here?”
I remember how clueless I was when I first play this game and decide to meld my only attack jewel because idk what I'm doing.🤣
and now I'm received both miniature and Large Gold Crown for all Monster after year of playing.
An elder dragon is a creature that effects its environment, most elder dragons in this game are the only creatures to have 4 limbs and separate wings
Just started monster hunter too!
I battle that bat thing and that was painful.
5:15 That's what it feels like when you're playing on line and three sexy senpai with endgame gear come to rescue and kill that monster for you in no time.🥰
8:32 Bruh, that's her nest, that's why.😝
One of the defining features of elder dragons is that they cannot be caught, which makes the plot moments surrounding Zorah a bit silly.
Earned a sub, watched ep 0 and this one. Love seeing new players play one of my favourite game series of all time!
You are refreshingly good at pronouncing the monster names correctly the first time
World is my first MH game but i do a bit research before playing so when the game threw Nergigante right front my face in that mission i'm literally freezing man 🤣
Man you gave me nostalgia in the worst way. I had the worst luck with finding coral highlands monsters. Paolumu took me like 30 minutes to find once.
Everyone collectively just "ahh yes. I remember the first time I would-" haha 😆
Roll to transport the balls, much faster and easy on the hand
they spent a whole year designing zorah, btw
You've got my sub dude, excited to see the full playthrough
HE'S SKELETOR NOW!!!
You earned my subscribe. Very entertaining videos!

Let’s go another episode
Yoo just downloaded this game myself on rog ally couple days ago, first time too playing this game :D ill be sure to play along with your episodes😁
Ah yes you have now learned of the annoying elder known as Zorah Magdoros. Honestly I can't wait for you to fight Nergigante 2 to 4 more times depending on if you decide to by the Iceborne DLC
Make sure you eat before hunts to maximize your hp. I usually just buy the chefs choice platter
saw the first video and i am here for more also seeing someone new play MHW makes me wanna start again good luck on ya adventure Hunter
7:40 that sounded like an american trying to read german
Make sure to always eat before a hunt!
Not gonna lie, i would love to experience mhw again for the first time.
Cant wait for more man keep up the uploads
Yes! MORE!
more people discovering MHW
Keep it going !!
Yayyyyyyy new episode ! ❤

Literally chose the best time to play mhw, popularity took a massive spike again for mhw.
Getting lost in coral highland the first time you got there
Congratulations on completing that rite of passage
(Spoiler alert)
There’s way more layers of explorable area than i will ever bother to remember
You should really look into getting max potions to increase your max health during hunts and eat rations or well done steaks for increased stamina
Also try eating before hunts it gives you buffs and useful skills. You get a bonus to health and stamina for using fresh ingredients and the type of dish you eat determines what buffs and skills you get
I hope his chat told him to pet Poogie before every Hunt or else it is Bad Luck not to do so.
I wonder if he learns to amp his sword
Ngl, picking a charge blade as first weapon is a bit of a power move
to answer your question, what counts as an elder dragon, think of a monster, but like REALLY strong.... aside from a few monsters that can 100% kill an elder dragon but arent an elder... and some elder dragons are babies? and uh-.....i dont know man...
i have close to 1k hours or already over in the game. I just accepted getting lost as part of the game.
pro tip: get some poop and throw at monsters it will scare them away (￣y▽,￣)╭
neat.
Plss upload more ep of this up intil all of iceborne
#bigattack
Yess more mhw❤
PLS MORE!
Yeah you arent alone most of us dont like the zorah fight
I love you man
Ya, no one really likes Zorah. He's pretty boring imo cuz unlike other siege monsters throughout the series, he doesn't go based off HP values, he has to actually walk to certain points to trigger event flags like Nergigante showing up, which makes his fight *incredibly* slow compared to others
4/10 for Zorah sounds about right, of the three mh games I've played its in the top 10 range of least enjoyable fights
Oi, can we join you for hunts when you want to farm gear
4/10 is a generous score for that fight. I hate it every single time. So unintuitive.
:)
