The Kushala Daora skin at the top of the Hoarfrost Reach could just be an ode to MH:F2 and MH:FU. Just a shame we never got a rusted Kushala to fight.

[@jm.varian911]

I was delighted to see that easter egg kind of thing when exploring the Hoarfrost reach for the first time. And to be even more delighted when I see the prompt that you can get something out of it, and to put my delight to the most, our hunter MINED it, instead of crouching and rummaging like the usual "?" prompt. Just a beautiful way to remember Pokke village and Snowy Mountain.

[@lachlanwu2838]

I believe that the small corner in Ancient Forest is the only place outside the Guiding Lands that can spawn Giant Vigorwasps. I know for sure a Giant Vigorwasp spawns on the upper level of the Forest area in GL, but I only recently learned of that small section where Deviljho sleeps.

[@JanusHoW]

Can confirm. Found it by accident.

[@r.k845]

What upper level?

[@jess1267]

the place at the bottom with the vigorwasp is also a part of a side quest during the witcher collab

[@nightmarishplesioth]

I can confirm, I have seen multiples Deviljho sleep there when they are weak

[@strawberrycollector]

Several of these places have a very minor purpose: endemic life. The perch in Wildspire Waste is one of the few spots where a Blue Diva can appear, the secret wall pond in Coral Highlands is the map's Goldenfry habitat and one of the quicker ones to check if you're trying to find some Great Goldenfry, and the mountain peak of Hoarfrost Reach is the home of the illusive Wintermoon Nettle. I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting, but that's alright. I know not everyone cares about the critter collecting stuff, but to me it's a simple joy and a unique selling point of World.

[@calzone7961]

I spent HOURS of my life happily collecting all the weird little dudes that live in the New World

[@LukeTCC]

i completely ignored that aspect of the game my first like 4 playthroughs, but on my 5th i dont know what changed, but i found it very fascinating, and i spent hours searching for all of the endemic life i could find

Actually the Lynian Treasure Hunts and the Observation Logs given to you by the Lynian Researcher take you to a lot of these places, it's clear that with Iceborne the devs realized many people missed these spots for base World and so they made 2 distinct "mini games" that take you to them and it's just wonderful, even the wingdrakes start dropping you in some of these spots after patch 10.00 (the Iceborne patch) I personally found myself stumbling on a lot of these by shear accident while I did manual gathering for base World but I also didn't know about many others until Iceborne

[@Oceaniz]

thanks for reminding me to finally do the treasure hunts lol never got around to it

[@thelordelric8424]

I explored these areas a lot before Iceborne so getting a treasure hint and knowing exactly what its referring to feels great.

[@calzone7961]

@@Oceaniz I initially only did them for the Steam Achievement, but there's just so many cool locals and interactions to see through these little quests. Like I didn't know I could stand on top of the boulder trap in the ancient forest before I did those.

[@naerwhal2891]

About that hole in the wall of vines in the coral highlands. There's an animation that plays if you come in from the top and dodge downwards on the vines. The hunter will hang of the top of the hole and ninja-swing in there assassin's creed style. Definitely caught me off-guard a while back after so many hours of never seeing that animation

[@gearyt2355]

Trying that tonight

[@Godslayer96]

That rocky peak in Wildspire Waste is also the spot where the unique Cactus for unlocking a new ingredient spawns. So unless you find this semi-hidden path, or get dumped there for the armorsphere outcrop, you could easily miss it and never find it without outside help. Same with the cave in the vine-wall in Coral Highlands, where the unique pearl spawn is located in an even more missable spot. And the Kushala skin on the Hoarfrost Reach peak is such a cool piece of continuity. We found one each on the Arctic Ridge and the Frozen Seaway, so either the shed skin has enough power to gradually change the surrounding climate or Kushala only molts in extremely cold places where it wouldn't necessarily live. It's so amazing that some of these locations are intended to be found but many others are just... there. Like actual nature.

[@randomnpc445]

I don't know if it _only_ molts in cold places, but we know for sure that the climate doesn't change around the skin (or at least, it doesn't always) because the CGI movie that showcases a molting Kushala has it doing so on top of an already snowy mountain.

[@oceanman7336]

For Kushala and other real life animals molting is a VERY vulnerable experience so its best to do so in a secluded space and the peak of icy mountains far enough to shed

[@Dev.L]

Don't know if it's true or not, but I think Kushala prefers colder areas when molting because it helps their skin harden faster, after a fresh molt, when their most vulnerable. Can't recall where I remember hearing that, but might've been a "Hunter's Note" back in MH Portable 2nd G.

[@kylecrawford2365]

I know few places that are "out of the way" are for the collectible creatures. I love these games! They always have had some sort of hidden nature spots.

[@r.k845]

The hidden waterslide in the reach is my personal favourite. Hope MH6 has similar areas.

[@Armameteus]

One of my favourite spots is in the Hoarfrost Reach, underground, near the hot spring. The location in itself isn't all that interesting, but what I like about it is that it's a regular stop for the Viper Tobi Kadachi that lives there, where it stops to warm up by the water and sometimes even have a lil' sippy. It'll notice you, but it's completely non-hostile, so you can just sit there and chill out with it for a while, keeping warm by the water. I've always liked how World specifically added monsters that aren't immediately hostile, unlike previous games. In those, every monster was immediately hostile to the player at all times, which made it feel very arcadey, like they're just another opponent to be fought. In World, the non-hostile monsters are proof that the wildlife are just... living there, regardless of your existence. It creates the sense that the life in the world exists beyond you and is part of some greater web of life which is mostly irreverent to you because you're just another small part of the world - insignificant, even, in the face of the creatures that live there. It really helps sell the authenticity of the environments as living, breathing places teeming with native beings of all shapes and sizes, from tiny endemic life to elder dragons. Incidentally, my favourite helm item is the tobi kadachi scarf.

[@Genjutsu4K]

Something that blew my mind when i discover it is that the Guiding Lands is actually Zora's Magdaros dead body,amazing how its shell became a entire ecosystem even for elder dragons,and make sense why to get Zora's master rank armor you have to collect some materials from that area spesifically.

[@femthingevelyn]

It's actually not the same Zora we fight, Worlds lore book essentially outlines that it's going to take millenia to make another new world, so the guiding lands must be another older Zora magdaros

The Coral Highland is my favorite monster hunter map by a mile. It's great to fight in. It looks absolutely breathtaking. The exploration is so rewarding with the many many hidden away areas that you can explore. The little glimpse of the Rotten Vale that you can get. The ecologic synergy with the Rotten Vale is just peak lore. Just all around perfect.

[@KeithKazamaFlick]

[@scrapox217]

@@KeithKazamaFlick Glider mantle is your friend. You can just jump into the air stream right behind the sloped area where you usually climb up the vines to get up higher. It brings you right to the top.

[@randomnpc445]

@@scrapox217 Adding onto this, in case anyone is apprehensive toward bringing the glider mantle just for this reason, get the G-Rank upgrade for it. It lasts a long time, recharges quickly, and essentially gives you two extra level 4 decoration slots. It's my personal go-to if I don't know what I want to bring to a fight, or if I only need certain effects sometimes (like using the mudwalker skill or whatever it's called to wade through Shara's vibration sand.)

[@slayerone1226]

Fun fact almost all of these areas except the gajakalaka den is tied to endemic life hunting. Theres an area at the back of the odagaron nest in the rotten vale that has a unique blue ore thats almost deffinately crystalised dalmadur blood (it also explodes a unique blue flame if you can make it break while fighting arround it)

[@xelester_8686]

i absolutely love the highest peak of the hoarfrost reach, spent a bunch of time there to capture the exceedingly rare flying jellyfish. (i didnt know you can eat foods that would increase the spawn chances)

[@heek8964]

Definitely not a secret but it's kinda hiden, I absolutely love the Teostra arena in the elder's recess, especially how it's just not available unless there's a teostra, in which case the lava watetrfall parts and reveals this really cool looking passageway of glowing hot stone to one of the coolest looking arenas in the game.

I don't think its much of a secret area, but the cave with several mining spots in coral highlands, where there is like a stone pillar in the middle, has to be my favorite place in that map, i just love it

[@doomdoot6731]

As someone who put 1k hours into this game, I really adore the place it holds both in the Monster Hunter series, as well as in my personal heart. And these little touches that just seeped dedication to the theme really cemented this as my favourite Monster Hunter game (as of currently; maybe world 2 will be even more amazing). It also helps that the game came out after I'd taken a pretty long break from MH (skipped 4th gen almost entirely and just played generations up until HR 150 or something like that), and the amount of love and care put into just about every part of the game got me reinvested. Thanks for keeping me from forgetting why I loved this game so much. (Also it was amazing to play during the first COVID lockdown wave.)

World will always be one of my fav games ever purely because of how much love and care was put into it and it really shows I can't help but continue to play it

A lot of these hidden places reward you with the chance to find and capture rare endemic life. The peak of the wildspire will sometimes spawn a blue diva, and the kushala area will occasionally spawn the huge jellyfish, among others Great video! I love people highlighting the little corners and secrets

[@Laevatrien2]

Back when Iceborne recently came out, I was showing off the mountain peak area of hoarfrost reach to a few friends as they didn't discover much of the area yet back then. And after we visited the Kushala shedding and went to the peak for the mining nodes, we just happened to see the Moonlight Nettle. Didn't even notice it at first, until my friend pointed it out.

You forgot to mention that the higher up area with the kushala husk also has a little peak the other way around where you can find those flying giant jellyfishies, that you can also capture to display in your room in seliana.

[@br3hbmc79]

I like the little areas inaccessible to the player that the monsters travel through when changing areas. The only ones that come to mind though are the rocks the brute wyverns jump across in the Ancient Forest, or the litte walkway Uragaan goes across after pushing through the brambles in Elder's Recess.

[@VadeInSpiritu]

These hidden corners are the exact concept in the game that drew me in so much when I played the original MH1 on PS2 when I was a little kid. I wasn’t good enough to understand the game much and ran from most of the velociprey, but eventually found area 12 in the forest and hills where I managed to kill the lone bullfango, then just chilled out fishing and enjoying the hidden spring in the woods. At that point in my life that was the most beautiful thing I’d seen in a video game and most closely captured the real natural beauty of a quiet peaceful spot in nature.

[@bok4822]

Areas like these are one of the many reasons I love this game so much. They are not necessary, no, but they add so much to the immersion that otherwise would not be there. Having pointless stuff in games can sometimes do way more for the worldbuilding than whatever is there to actually build it.

[@TheLiosoul]

Finally someone else talking about this, I made a mini-series called "Stop and Smell the Roses" where I slowly wonder around with no HUD to really show how much love and care the MH team has put into this installation of the title.

[@xandwenv]

The hidden Lynian Camps in each Maps are also a view to behold. After investing 6k hours in the game, i still go back to it often and just spend time in expedition or guiding lands just to explore, chill with monsters beside them, and enjoy the view.😁

[@avpnumber6678]

Great video, glad to see these beautiful maps getting the recognition they deserve. World is always going to be my favorite game just for the environments alone. You should totally follow this up with one about Rise and Sunbreak as I’ve just recently gone back and played them again on Xbox One, and I’m having a similar situation where I’m finding all these little caves and areas off to the side that I never noticed before and the enhanced console graphics really make it a treat for the eyes

A place where I accidentally stumble upon and, to this day, forgot how to get there unless a group tailraider is there, is the beautiful water area in Hoarfrost where you can see the duffel penguins across on an iceberg, and I honestly go there to fish on my down time at one point

It's precisely the work that went into the immersion that made me hate monsters like Alatreon etc in the later updates. The fights seem so rigid, so scripted, so antithetical to the entire rest of the game. It rips you right out. They don't fit anywhere, interact with anything, and the way you fight them becomes ever more prescriptive from one to the next. I loved the work that went into tying the environment and the monsters and the fights together in this game. I honestly spent half of the game just exploring and befriending cats and collecting pets, taking photos, etc, and the other half actually finishing the game, because it is so beautiful.

I have about 1300 hours in this game, about 250-300 of them have been me exploring the maps catching all the rare endemic life within the game and along the way, i have found all of these locations. This game has so much to see and I do not regret a single second of it. Also that tall perch in the Wildspire Waste has a very slim chance to spawn the ever elusive Blue Diva. And you can travel higher at the very top of the Hoarfrost Reach where that Kushala shed skin is and you'll not only get probably the best view in the game, but a small chance that the just as elusive Wintermoon Nettle can spawn, but only when certain whether conditions are met and at a certain time of day which i believe was dawn. I love this game and i really do hope that Capcom hears us when we say the next Monster Hunter game needs to be of this levels. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE MORE ENDEMIC LIFE AND KEEP THEM AS PETS.

On one of my first (and forced) expeditions, an Anjanath interrupted the fishing tutorial and since I had already played Rise, I knew I wanted to kill him despite not even knowing he'd have artillery for my precious Gunlance. It was actually pretty arduous and during one of his nesting sessions he knocked be down there with the Giant Vigorwasp and even begun to shove himself through one of the few openings, so I was actually pretty bamboozled but enthralled by such a multilayered area in a zone like that. World isn't my favorite but the map design may actually be up there.

[@calzone7961]

Dang its been a few years since I played World, I should do that again. I'm going to list some places I remember finding and enjoying There's a small cave area in the Ancient Forest that I don't even know how to get to that I always enjoy stumbling upon There's two places in the Wildspire that I like. There's a stone obelisk with a bonepile on top, nearby that is a small cave high up on a ledge that i think just has a mining node. The Coral Highlands has a Lot of good locals. There's the big waterfall that leads to the Lynian camp, Theres also a small area that just spawns Coral birds that thought was really pretty but I cant remember where it was, but its easy to find the rare endemic life there. Rotten Vale has those two areas that Mosswine will span in one at the top and one at the bottom. The pond with goldfish at the bottom being a favorite. For Elders Recess I have very little but the room where you fight Nergigante has a very nice view. The Hoarfrost has a little ice shore that you can fish off of with some penguins. There's obviously the peak with the rare endemic life And then theres all the secrets found through the Lynian scholar and the Lynian quests themselves

[@calzone7961]

Theres also some cool views in Kulve Taroth's map

[@christophersmith9074]

the kushala skin was a set up for the rusted kushala but it was scraped for fatalis (a lot of monsters they planed to add as an update were cut for the boogie dragon) lol

[@Gassyassassin1]

I have so many hours in World and didn't know about the shed Kushala part, thank you for giving me another reason to get addicted again lmao

[@Suirioujin]

I LOVE all these small areas I love that they're hidden, because it means you need to look for them, therefore meaning this is your reward for going out of the main routes and areas I really hope there will be other areas like that in MH6, because besides the small area on the south-west of the Citadel, there weren't really here in RS

[@TipsyBeveridge]

I believe that the spot in area 13 in the ancient forest is where you go to encounter the Gajalaka chief in the Witch 3 Crossover quest.

Thank you for showing the beauty of monster hunter world to me, as a person who won't get to play this game for a long while if not never, and for someone who showed a lack of interest in this particular version because I grew up with the bright, colorful and saturated old gen graphics, and thought world was too dull for my liking, you've successfully changed my mind. I hope someday life stops being a bully and I'll actually get to play this game, even though I've always sucked at monster hunter, I am confident I can finish low rank at least

[@isabellahartzell5495]

There's a cool secret spot in the training grounds at the top of one of the waterfalls in Rise. After I found that spot I started scouring the other maps to see if I could find any other spots.

[@steffenaltmeier6602]

many of these spots have nodes for unique special ingredients - you need them to make all the custom food recipies

In Wildspire Waste, I always bring with me a pair of binoculars just cause it kinda the best map to use it! Especially on the high cliff, while watching a rath fly through you!

[@OMGYOUARER8GHT]

Always love little details they puy in maps,even though not everyone would look into them lol

[@ClaireMeeboon]

I feel like the devs made the little details/area are for folks who does the treasure hunt achievement! i start noticing more details like this when i was bored and just want to watch the world. I love this game so much! so glad your always doing more vids about the MH's worlds!

[@aurumflash3983]

yes i love this, and i love a lot of these areas too. the waterfall just before the forest in the Wildspire Waste is ooo underrated. its a great place to chill. The Ancient Forest spot at 2:50 and the Coral Highland spot at 7:35 are my favorite spots to just chill. im gonna have to check that other hidden hole spot in the Coral Highlands and vibe there a bit. Funny enough for me though the first area of the Hoarfrost Reach (while obviously not secret) is one of my favorite areas just cause i like the winter vibes. I'm definitly gonna have to check out more of each area though and make my own list for myself.

This is a bit late but in Elder's Recess, in the highest peak where kushala sleeps and bazelgeuse looks over the recess, the Gajalaka chief sometimes sleeps or praises the volcanic view which was very surprising. I have a screenshot of it I think.

[@dxdt5377]

You forget Rotten Vale, there are several monster carcasses... , Rathian, Diablos, Legiana and some superhuge-sized Dalamadurs!
