[@kitchengun1175]

you seem to have forgotten that she doesn't breathe fire she breathes raw heat energy like she's venting to try cool her body

[@mango4723]

That’s actually a good theory. I mean, her internal temperature is easily hot enough to melt stone and metal like a hot knife through butter, and considering she doesn’t breathe fire with a flame sac like most other fire breathers, she must generate a *lot* of heat.

[@user-ev5qs3rp8t]

At least according to what I saw of BannedLagiacrus, this is exactly why she only breathes heat waves when she's angry. Technically it's to regulate her internal temperature, with a side-effect of it being a very powerful weapon.

Who else noticed that her design was inspired by the “Golden Fleece” from Greek Mythology. I mean, the goats’ horns and her golden dress? I LOVE IT!

[@DesX42S]

As a casual monster hunter fan I find this tidbit incredibly cool. I already appreciated Kulve's design for being a riff on the "dragon hoarding gold" motif, but being able to see it as a Golden Fleece dragon probably makes it my favorite monster (design) in the series.

[@Saltybeef90210]

I won't lie to ya, the first 2 hunts with kulve were glorious. But the final fight with her was bitter sweet. I felt no pleasure in taking her out just due to the fact that unlike the other elders who were either direct or indirect threats she was just minding her own business. One of the few elder dragons I had genuine sympathy for. Fatalis can taste my taint though.

[@borzoilover4156]

Event quests aren't cannon so dont worry she isnt actually dead in lore

Kulve Taroth will certainly be one of the monsters I will miss the most from World

[@lynxfresh5214]

Yeah going on first impressions alone she felt more "impressive" than Xeno'jiiva as a fight and Zorah as a siege. Ofc that's not factoring in the relic weapon grind... :P

*_Imagine a settlement of people scattering from certain disaster, some getting lost through the great ravine; others find themselves in El Dorado... A mom a small child find themselves stalked by the Gold God. Afraid and alone and face to face with uncertainty. The Mother Goddess looks upon them to cast judgment. A hollow roar fills the catacombs; followed by a rapid silence before a feint cry. Then from all sides; far and near... The natives of El Dorado swarm. The mother grabs her child in earnest and shivers. One tiny native croaks, shakes and wiggles in what looked like a dance towards the wavering two. Out from its hand it reached a Opal Platinum charm that glistened like the stars. The moms quivering hand reached out for the item. The child fell silent and gazed upon the precious item. In a spontaneous rave the natives cheered and danced. Whilst the Golden God quakes. The natives grab the hand of the barren two and lay a path for their chosen deity that is Kulve Taroth. The mother and child's life begin a new with the natives of El Dorado... while their almighty mother watches over them._*

Even though the incorporation of gold into the skin of Kulve may seem rather impossible, in the real world there is a type of snail that displays a similar behavior to this. The Scaly Foot Snail is a marine mollusk that incorporates iron sulfide into protective scales on its body, somewhat like a natural suit of armor.

3 dislikes. What the hell??? This is lore not the siege lmao

[@NYC_InfamousNick]

@Nathan Eaton-Benterud when you carve her horns you find melded and sublimated weapons, which you appraise to get the rewards at the end of the siege. Sure it’s not the *shell* specifically, but they weren’t far off.

[@sarcirinsdaefarin3950]

@Nathan Eaton-Benterud You do understand that capcom puts out books for MH right? between translations we do learn things outside of the game, just want to make sure this is clear because youre looking at things from the wrong angle. "didnt do their research" OH IM SORRY do we have Kulve in multiple games which overtime gives us more info? lmao i cant even take this seriously because theres barely any information on Kulve, its all about piecing together the little bits like with the rest of the new monsters. I Oh okay so her special power is to create weapons inside of her horns as a magical reward for those who can break her horns. Nah seems legit chief. Totally never had the idea of obtaining weapons from ancient cultures before *cough cough* switch axe and charge blade *cough cough*

[@manbat4582]

It's not really a lore video, at least not what I thought a lore video should contain. This just feel like a recap. Idk about y'all, I prefer that they just made up some theory or discussion or anything, just to make it sound new.

[@arcanaxiii6665]

I've only recently started working on Kulve Taroth hunts myself. Like, this month. I did a few a couple weeks ago, starting with the siege and later moving to Master Rank. The siege was novel, but not insurmountable. However, I couldn't believe just how powerful MR Kulve was. It's taken several revisions to my equipment to have a chance against her. But. I kinda knew going into it, that these last fights are against the most powerful monsters there are in this region, and would push me to my limits.

[@peaceka]

just helped new hunters yesterday to get their weapons, and remembered my first hunt of her, good times.

[@jedstanaland2897]

In tri and the games prior to it most elder dragons don't have any quests that are always available. I'm not counting DLC quests but most of the elder dragons and certain other monsters have tempteraly available quests that only appear when you either compete certain requirements or randomly after completing other quests. An example of a requirement is that you compete a certain number of quests above a certain level or that you have completed a certain list of quests again or the first time. It is also a matter of time playing and many other things that can sometimes make certain temporary quests appear. Kirin used to be the hardest quests to find and my friends and I would sometimes drop whatever else we might have been trying to do and take a kirin quest because the drops were such a nightmare. For example you would have a certain minimum number of carves on a monster but if that monster was larger then you would have a possibility of getting additional carves and you could also use skills to get up to three additional carves. I know that some elder dragons are able to be captured now but they couldn't be in all generations prior tri. If you were particularly lucky you would get a huge monster in a secret are a have the skills to enhance drops and carves and kill the monster in the secret are which would mean that you would have wonderful drops and carves but it was so rare that you might as well say it would never happen.
