This talk about Arkveld has really inspired a theory for myself. Now, as we know, with Capcom and MH, the Flagship does not always equal the final boss of the game. World had Nergigante as the FS and Xenojiva as the FB, Iceborne had Velkana and Shara Isvalda, Rise had Magnamalo and Narwa, then Sunbreak had Malzeno and Gaismagorm just to name a few. I'm going to theorize here that Arkveld has the ability to steal life energy from monsters like how Wraiths can steal souls and the reason Arkveld has lived for long enough for its species to be considered extinct is because it was used by the Keepers to keep a powerful Elder Dragon contained. Likely the reason Arkveld is going around trying to get more energy by stealing it from the Apexes is either the Elder Dragon it was keeping sealed away either went completely dormant to preserve it's energy and Arkveld was unable to take any life force from it or it finally woke up because it was growing tired of Arkveld stealing its energy.

@@mikes9767 my take on it is that it looks too bulky in general to be able to fly. The design still is freaking awesome, and with the chains it really gives the vestige of a vengeful dark spirit. Speaking of which, since the monster was thought to have been extinct, it technically makes it UNDEAD, like a ghost it is something that as far as everyone knows, has no business being alive.

@Eragon99999999999 Ай бұрын

If you look at the cover art the chains are a bit weird. Look closely and it looks like the chains are coming from the left wing only, and the right wing is down on the ground, hidden behind the hunters. If you compare that too the movements in the trailer, the right wing chain should be on the ground with the wing not up in the air like in the cover art. So if the 2 chains we see in the cover art ARE in fact coming from the left wing only then it might be that it is supposed to have 4 in total (maybe even more?). The 2 extra might come in later with the theorized evolution later in the game.

I think arkveld and the rest of its kind went to war with a rival species and wiped eachother out but this last one sensed that one enemy must have survived or a the arkveld had superior numbers but couldn't finish the job and only gravely wounded the enemy. This last one went into hibernation and it awoke sensing its enemy coming back. It began killing the current apex monsters not only to regain strength but also to deny its rival food in hopes of finishing this here and now.

Arkveld has such a banger design - it's insane.

Arkveld seems a consensus "WTF ARE YOU WHY ARE YOU SO COOL"

@christianhunter4614 Ай бұрын

I feel like Arkveld isn't chained but is the chains and it is hunting the apexes to strengthen itself somehow It's taking strength with the strangling of uth duna and doing this so that it might shed and become stronger like Gore Magala It is doing this so it may hold back the true big bad Arkveld being the black serpent and the green serpent being what it feels like it must hold back It's appearance just screams revenge to me This is an extended life if not forced immortality to hold back the final assigned mission monster

@masonstewart6232 Ай бұрын

Call me crazy, but what if Arkveld is another unclassified monster like Gore, and through some story event becomes a full fledge elder dragon? Think about it. Arkveld has yet to be given a proper classification despite the fact that every monster before him has. Plus his design doesn't really scream proper Flying Wyvern to me, as his shape and body structure feels more like a bulky Tigrex than anything, similar to Gore. Not to mention the weird thin line between wyvern and elder dragon that he emanates through his design, with his slightly unconventional shape, his air of mystery, and the raw power he's already shown to display. Plus, one of Gore's names is the "Black Eclipse Wyvern" Despite not being classified as one, just like Arkveld's name. Again, this may be a stretch, but he genuinely feels it.

@DerpHavenn Ай бұрын

i don't think the arkveld we fight in wilds will *become* an elder dragon, but it might be something akin to an ancestor or missing link between wyverns and elder dragons. Rey Dau has a weird blade on its wing that doesn't connect to the rest of the wing membrane, so i'm wondering if it's a wyvern descendant of Arkveld, and the final boss will be an elder dragon descendant

@TheSilversepiroth Ай бұрын

I think the Gore comparison is apt because they make sure to show the distinction between the one chained up & the one we see in the cutscenes. It's possible that the one in the cutscenes/the one we see through the game is still immature, needing to consume the bioenergy of apexes to mature into a proper adult like the one we see chained up. They may even maintain a similar storyline progression to previous MH games, but instead of a different monster, keeping the immature Arkveld alive is what was keeping the mature one placated, and with the immature one slain, the adult goes on a rampage

@GuyWithAnAmazingHat Ай бұрын

Arkveld feels like it's going to grow 2 more legs and reveal that it's actually an Elder Dragon, maybe it has a "strait jacket" along with its chains and can molt away to reveal new arms. Also all the ancient buildings straight up looks like eroded "modern" skyscrapers, maybe MH is finally going to dive into ancient civilisation lore and reveal how high tech civilisation was in the past and how it led to the dragon war and decline of civilisation.

@graememartin9715 Ай бұрын

I like the parallel made to the whip-wing wyverns in Frontier. But the one thing I think is really cool is how it uses it's wings more like actual arms. And you can see that in which it's not just a single wingtalon. It's a whole claw on each wing. And it's built almost like an entire arm with how muscular they are. And that also kinda fits with how Arkveld throws its chain appendages around. If it's a primary mechanism of it, then it would obviously have to be built to use them constantly, on top of flying as well.

@cloudvaanroy Ай бұрын

Tons of 4u similarities going on. I could see arkveild having his own Gore > Shagaru moment in the story. That lets them add the “twist” at the end that they always add and allows arkveild to stay relevant until the story’s conclusion.

If you look at the chains binding Arkveld closely they go from purple crystals to darker colors like they were repaired using the crystals at some point. I also assume the Keepers were well keeping Arkveld bound in chains for who knows how long he could be generations old, and they've kept him there for that long for some reason but recently he broke free or was released by someone or something and ended up destroying the Keepers and their civilization expect Nata and maybe a few others who were looking for...

The way this thing is designed from it's skull/face to the fabric like cloak draped over the wings/arms makes me believe this monster is related to the Gore Magala species.

I really hope my theory is true, love that lil rage inducer and Arkveld just looks fantastico

@cozyoni1425 Ай бұрын

My theory is that at first we believe that Arkveld is the last of its kind and that it goes around to each locale to fight and absorb the life force of their apexes. We end up having yo fight it at some point because it has become too dangerous. Of course we then find out later that yes their is a stable population of these monsters and the individual we hunted was actually gearing up to fight with a more dangerous monster that will be the final boss

@theadmiral4157 Ай бұрын

My theory would be that the white wraith is a descendant of the white god and will have a counterpart known as the black revenant just like how the white god has a counterpart known as the black god in the older games. The story will revolve around understanding life and death, how both of these things are important to achieve balance, yin and yang. Its evident to how they did the color palette from the two serpents in the logo, starting from a lighter color going to darker ones further down. Its actually hard to miss, so maybe they're doing a yin and yang reference in the game's plot

Pay close attention to the very end where Arkveld has roar battle with rey dao, you can see more than just 2 "chains" With that screenshot of Arkveld chained up we see the obvious 4 chains on him.

@YggralithZ Ай бұрын

Part of me knows they won’t do it but I would love if the story goes even more intense into that Moby Dick allegory where Nata despite being a kid gets more and more obsessed with getting the Wraith hunted putting everyone in jeopardy, more over it being revealed that his people are not descendants of some wise ancient people who were wiped out by a great evil but rather descendants of an race much like the Old World Ancient civilizations, arrogant and fell at the hands of their hubris, so taking down Arkveld turns out to be a net negative cause its species was once extremely vital to stabilizing nature “hence why it hunts apex monsters who do not cause natural disasters but thrive and may enhance them” The final boss would even be fun to be something akin to Nata awakening some sort of canon form of the “Equal Dragon Weapon” or some kind of man made/bred monster that hunted Arkveld’s species to extinction

Is this is an artificial monster? Coz the name does not seem tribal/indigenous at all, unlike Rey or Uth. Ofcourse not all new monsters are in Wilds, but also, the name is very science-y... like Arc Weld to Arkveld. Also, between the Chain-like appendages actually having Chains coming out in the chained-up image, and him being part of an extinct species like the city ruins... and the Keepers keeping him... I think Arkveld is either an entire species of, or atleast the story one is, a fully artificial or an artificially modified monster. Made to combat whatever Elder dragon left those massive buiding sized tusks/fangs/bones. Arkveld was designed to "protect" humanity from any threats, so as soon as it broke free, it went after the Apexes designating them as the biggest "threat" around. Why it attacked the Keepers I don't have a good explanation for, but this also explains the massive circles in the Plains (used to "keep it alive" i.e. provide energy though the chains, drawing it through the circle and/or lightning rods) and the "special" element it uses (artificial element).
