Unknown Medley - Monster Hunter Frontier

[@lucasfraczek4320]

Mi Ru is honestly the most creative monster Capcom has made to date and would fit perfectly in Rise. It's a shape-shifting wyvern based around Kitsune, like wtf that's beyond epic!

[@Shrigmaxxing]

Only hope is Wilds now.

[@lucasfraczek4320]

@@Shrigmaxxing Fingers crossed.

[@TheTrueUltimateGenLifeform]

I dunno if it’s just me but imagine they suddenly decided that it is now a black dragon cause of its shape shifting abilities

[@lucasfraczek4320]

@@TheTrueUltimateGenLifeform I'm not sure if that's how it'd work if I'm being honest? Black Dragon classification only extends to Elder Dragons last I heard so a Flying Wyvern than messes with its own bodily structure in ways that changes its fighting style might not be entirely Black Dragon worthy, but that's an interesting thought since Unknown, or Ra-Ro, reaches a power threshold just by it getting angrier.

[@AsrielCypher]

I'd love Unknown and/or Mi Ru in Wilds as endgame bosses. They're fairly unknown (lmao) outside of the Frontier community too so it could have some surprises for the newer hunters.

[@katyvern9116]

Mi Ru has one of the coolest concepts for a wyvern with it's ability to shapeshift into 5 other forms(making 6 in total) and each one has its own range of abilities. Talking about a difficult challenge and his ability to shoot a blue flame is even cooler.

[@TheTrueUltimateGenLifeform]

I could potentially think it may be black dragon level if Capcom and MH decided to add it back. From what I can tell, the ability to shape shift sounds broken as hell if you can go far with it

[@shiw63]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@TheTrueUltimateGenLifeformMi Ru is somehow related to the normal flying wyvern, Dyuragaua. Definitely not upping to black dragon level. It probably stays at elder dragon level.

[@lunelldawson2756]

7:30 really reminds me of the semi-emotional part in Razewing Ratha's battle theme... Maybe it's just me?

[@fatalfractal1298]

Just imagine unknown meet razewing and fight.

... So the UNKNOWN Black Wyvern... Achieves a Zenith-like form mid battle? Like the Gasurabasura, but it lasts till the end of the battle? Cool! How tough is it to fight her?

[@ericsears6132]

pretty fuckin hard, she almost one shots you with most of her attacks iirc, been a long time since I played, and she does a ton of AOE abilities and even has this black hole where she pulls everything in and then blows it up.

[@Lunaraia]

When Phase 2 starts she also LITERALLY dropped half the tower onto the battlefield instakilling anyone without Guts that got hit.

[@error404idnotfound3]

@@Lunaraia I didn't know that you needed the Black Swordsman with you to have a chance in this hunt. I am legitimately terrified now.

I hope frontier comes back with revamped graphics and game Mechanics if they do they’ll instantly have my subscription

[@Hershewed]

Man these themes do be boppin especially Unknowns theme

[@AGREY-p1s]

Yeah, my favorite is Unknown’s theme. It’s so good! 🤩🤩🤩

[@jollyjah3U]

Mi Ru realized that the true ideal and most highly affective monster form was indeed The Rathian

[@ihatecabbage7270]

0:00 - 3:07 I fight this guy before, he is very very hard. But the game provide you a special potion to be consumed once per day per hunt(Is a premium service). This potion greatly strengthen your defense(not stat but significantly decrease damage taken), It'll last till the hunts end or give up. So I hunt him once per day, slowly but surely got the armor, it's pretty good, it got sharp, fire damage, Ice damage, tremor , earplug, Reckless Abandoned....... the kind of skill essential in G-rank.. And he is not even the harder monster in G-rank. But compared to armor which have the G Hunter Art Skill, his set is fall behind. I failed a lot initially, but overtime I gotten use to his Narga/Tigrex moveset that have 5 type of damage: Ice, Fire, Ground, Crystallized and Wind. The 3 different looking beast is actually its form of transformation. It changes element when you deal certain amount of damage.

[@varadaki5990]

A fight between Unknown and Fatalis would actually either go Hard or be extremely catastrophic

[@RevengeRaptorREAL]

Words cannot begin to describe how LIVID i am that the third song in this medley is not on spotify. I'm so angry I might just start fighting hunters at five stages of rage myself

[@Tundra_Hunter]

Im actually really mad as well, like why are just SOME frontier songs on spotify!? I really want to listen to the frontier fatalis' themes :(

[@rookhowl]

i like to imagine that UNKNOWN is the spirits of every wrongly slayed monster across the world of Monster Hunter personified into a physical form. Who better to pick than the motherly, protective Rathian? Hell, even the normal Rathian goes beserk at the slightest hint of threat to her, her mate, and her offspring. It's almost like, to me, that UNKNOWN exists because of the wrongs of many hunters over the many generations they've lived and slayed. And she exists to hunt you, to get back at the ones who committed foul acts against her monster brethren over the years. It also aligns with those sorrowful undertones in her otherwise desperate and vengeful theme. She isn't a monster, she's the spiritual biproduct of hundreds of thousands of lives lost to greed and misjudgment.

[@Ch4oTiK]

The Monster Hunters are not committing wrongs though, they are slaying monsters to both save the ecology of the areas as well as, like the monsters do themselves, to feed themselves and their brethren. These creatures would have absolutely no qualms destroying the Humans and so forth of the MH world just to spread their territories and feed. The only potential wrongs that were committed, and it's still oddly non-canon, would be the Ancient Civilization and its late-stage treatment of Elders especially - and Fatalis put an end to that. Hunters and their modern age brethren species are merely trying to survive like the Monsters themselves. But I get what you're saying.

[@Pichupichu126]

The fact unknown phase 2 is the only flying wyvern that reach to black dragon level scares me

[@lutherloser5122]

3:25 change in theme 6:12 too

[@badboy-ht4bs]

According to the wikidot they are elder dragon tier level maybe black dragon like fatalis

[@reallycantthinkofausername487]

Nah, elder maybe but not even close to black dragon

[@badboy-ht4bs]

Yeah i dont think black dragon level too But fosho they easily surpass elder level Believe me the hr unknown black wyvern got every flying wyvern move and attack And when he reach his 7th stage of rage Every attack is a one shot attack

[@Ch4oTiK]

@@badboy-ht4bs Considering the existence of Rajang who, despite being absolutely ape-shit crazy (ha, ape) in comparison, is still just a Fanged Beast who competes with Elders evenly in most of the turf wars, and actually hunts/derives power from one (Kirin) - I'm not surprised to see Unknown up in that tier at all. This thing would ragdoll Rajang.

[@darthsidious3278]

@@reallycantthinkofausername487wasn’t fully enraged unknown implied to be on the same level as disufiroa, who is a black dragon since it’s related to alatreon (apparently) and implied to be on the same level as fatalis

[@nubbyboah]

Should be noted that UBFW is often called "Ra Ro" similar to how Mi Ru is referred normally by that name rather than Unknown Black Fox Wyvern

[@cristianclemente2030]

Given that Mi Ru main ability is to shape form (It's not that easy, I know), is there a reason to believe unknown fox and unknown wyvern ain't the same species to begin with?

[@athos9293]

They probably have related backstories

[@Roanan.]

The way I see it, UNKNOWN is a mixture of every traditional wyvern. While Mi-Ru is a mixture of every pseudowyvern (Tigrex, Nargacuga, etc.)

[@draw2death421]

So thish monsters name is miru and my real name is miro... Hmm... Miru Miro Dont know how to feel about that.

I think they wanted to make a Mirror pun name, I think. Also, that's a fun coincidence.

aw you've got such a cool name!

[@athos9293]

Mirror? Mirage?

[@theorangerabbit8006]

Frontier was definitely a MH game that thought outside the box. I enjoyed playing it and this fight was hell. But I can be one to admit that I wish the designs of most monsters featured in here were more original. And yes I know creativity doesn’t come in waves but when it comes to Frontier designs… well let’s just say there’s a reason I like OG MH better. The designs in frontier are either too bulky, too abstract, or just have a bunch of spikes slapped on them… Now don’t get me wrong there are a some designs in Frontier that I love, Diorekkesu, but when it came down to fighting Zenith White Fatalis and Exotic Shagaru… Yeah… *SPIKES INTENSIFIES* . This game introduced a lot if interesting concepts for monsters, I just hope if this game ever returns that the designs of the monsters are more thought out. Themes are fire though.

[@SamuelRodrigues-hi3wf]

I don’t like this monster, it looks cool but it’s just rathian with a different color scheme, and a vertebrate that can shape-shift is a bit weird to me, it’s theme is very solid but that’s all I rlly like abt it (and tbc I don’t dislike it I just don’t like it, I think it’s meh overall)

[@reallycantthinkofausername487]

THANK YOU I would like to see these 2 brought back as different monster, basically repurposing the ideas behind them and leaving their execution behind. maybe unknown could be an entirely new skeleton and is the only monster that has it, and weird shape shift monster could be a monster that replicates different fighting styles. they can keep their themes tho
