I think Fatalis is especially chilling because he's an adaptation of our own ancient dragon myths which speak to an organic, maybe real, fear of an awesome vengeful creature of destruction

Is Dire Miralis related to Zorah Magdaros by any chance? I’d like to think Zorah is just an aged and dying Dire Miralis.

Lol he has so little that when monster hunter Tri came out for the Wii Japanese players were scared as deviljho wasn't talked about Capcom at all before it got released so they would just be hunting a bird who would mimic other monster's calls for than at high rank it would make a monstrous roar.

Plays insect glaive Greatsword user mounts

[@feircy]

Richard Johnson step your game up boi, running glaive doesn't mean you have some exclusive mounting rights. Greatsword aerial charge OP

[@Cirac1]

Mounting while you have a glaive in the team is like eating all the veg at a bbq before the vegetarian gets to eat.

[@feircy]

Cirac1 greatsword mount and finisher do more damage than glaive anyways. If you are running glaive and getting outmounted despite having constant access to mounting attacks, it's time to step it up.

[@Cirac1]

Feircy If you think the point of mounting is dealing damage - you are doing it wrong. If you have a GS and an IG is on your team and you steal the last mounting hit that the IG has been working on - you've wasted the IG's time, its main purpose (to tie up a monster) and wasted your own damage potential. IG on monster with GS attacking on the ground deals more damage than GS on monster with IG attacking on the ground.

[@feircy]

Cirac1 if you think it matters who gets the final mount you're wrong. The IG gets better damage from those aerial attacks in instances where others can't hit, and everyone but the mounters damage is 0 during the animation. Regardless of who finishes the mount, everyone gets to smack it in the end.

[@zerotheassassin4046]

Learning about the ancient civilizations and how they lived in peace with other elder dragons and monsters makes me think deeply about all the other series. Remember MH stories and how people lived in harmony with other monsters and trained them and such what if that took place pre or during the begging of the great dragon war? It wouldn't be such a bad theory to think of but mainly I was thinking the elder dragons aren't just mindless beast now are they if they were able to coordinate and pull off an attack on an ancient civilizations they must be smart and have some form of communication with one another. So I thought of this that when the dragons figured out that humans were killing them off to make a super weapon all the elder dragons even Kushala Teo and Chem all gathered to "Talk" about how the humans were making weapons from them some where against attacking the humans while others where pro attacking them. So after the dragon war was over and series such as mh4u had dragons like Kushala and Teostra that were still threats the guild wanted extinguished those monsters were more aggressive and ready to attack on site while in world a few of them like Kushala Val and Kirin were more passive and didn't attack you as much unless you provoked them. So what I'm thinking is the ones who are more passive in world still think they can try to live in Harmony with humans and don't need to fight them while monsters like Teostra Nergi and Lunastra (debatable) all still hated humans and wanted to kill them off like they did them thousands of years ago and with the new world being the place old elders go to die and Xeno being made from the energy of those elders possibly as a new weapon to combat humans it could make sense but it's jusy a theory I just made from watching this video

Been playing since MH1. Nice to know that after all these years, I can still learn new things. Monster hunter is s beautiful world. It's where i grew up. There is so much here to learn and see. Beyond the monsters and the quest. Everything from the quirky palicos to the butt clenching fights, all of it is worth exploring. Don't worry too much about the lore. The main thing is that you embrace this world. It has so much charm and little details tht can be missed if you focus too much. I watched all your videos and am a big fan. You opened my eyes to so much of destiny's inner content and back story. You, in alot of ways, was the narrator of an entire world. But now, you've stepped into a brand new world. A world tht I've been in love with for as long as I can remember. And I can promise you that you won't find a more devoted player base. We love this game. We want it to get big. For far too long MH has been in the shadow of more popular western titles. And finally it's getting the love it deserves and I couldn't be happier. And I hope your content can pull even more hunters to this world. To sum things up, welcome to the world if Monster Hunter! It's a wonderful series and I hope tht it will bring you years of enjoyment and laughs as it has me and my fellow veteran hunters who have been here since forever. Keep up the good work Byf!

[@zenderzagato8174]

donuts82 could you explain why?

[@Vulcanfaux]

Zender Zagato I guess to keep it simple cuz I'm sure he will cover it in the next video. A group of hunters went to fight a rather large elder dragon I a group of 5. The group succeeded in slaying the elder dragon but one of the hunters was killed during the battle. Ever since that moment the hunters sorta had a superstitious belief that 5 was bad luck. So from then they sorta made a rule that capped it at 4. (Unless you are playing mhonline the Chinese game). The person that started that rule is actually still alive in the world of monster hunter. You would have to play either the original monster hunter or generations to see him though, he is currently the elder of the original hunters town. Again I'll let Byf get to it cuz I'm sure the next video, the formation of the hunters guild will talk about that moment.

Xeno'jiiva is a recently discovered species, so there aren't legends about him like all the Black Dragons, he still has to be classified (even though I still think that he's probably inferior in strength to Black Dragons, especially Frontier versions of Fatalis Trio and Dishufiroa), so he isn't a Black Dragon

[@glibglab1751]

DarkSeeker 9713 i dont think frontier monsters count either

[@DarkSeeker9713]

Nope, they count, Capcom said that years ago, it's 100% canon

[@xavierwilliams3447]

Had no idea Byf did Monster hunter lore this is the best channel you KZbin

[@angmax9268]

You remind me of Vaati

[@angmax9268]

Joe Alexander what...?

[@glibglab1751]

He sounds exactly like him

[@CodexIblis]

INB4 Vaati secondary account lmao

[@ironreeve9370]

Joe Alexander Not sure how DS2 being bad makes Vaati bad when all he does is explore the lore, but OK

FATALIS IN WORLD BOIS

[@sanguineregis5354]

Something i find curious: In the old world, there are ruins everywhere and you can easily find them. In the new world, there are none. Just some food for thought.

[@1LuvMLPFiM]

That’s why it’s called as such. But where is the New World located? North, east, west, or south of the Old World? We also have to wait for the upcoming Iceborne update and see where it takes us.

[@sanguineregis5354]

You know most of the ruins belong to the hyper-advanced Ancient Civilization right? The ancient civilization figured out how to make artificial life. I have doubts they didnt know about the new world.

[@Dewkeeper]

@@sanguineregis5354 maybe the new world is quite literally new, like how the 5 scales created new lands or how zorah magdaros will create new life in the sea. Maybe the world itself is being reborn.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@@Dewkeeper This could very well be the case, and considering that there are two giant Dalamadur skeletons in the New World, we can also assume that other giant elder dragons have also died there, leading to the land forming even more than it already had when the dalamadurs died.

[@AstridTheBee]

@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 There's also a Lao Shan Lung skull in the Guiding Lands

[@tarragon721]

After Fatalis’s reveal for World I just keep thinking “Humans are creatures of feeble might... they, are prey” then the hunter’s just like “Not unless I have anything to say about it and I DO, *pulls out max dps dual blades* I’M GONNA SLAY A FATALIS”

[@bonetower]

It amuses me that Byth covered the beasty that we’re all about to pull a holy grail on... “Charge! ...Run away!”

[@baddazmother602]

That Was Amazing

[@williamzwaan3565]

Equal dragon weapons aren’t actually canon

[@ajatardracarys5659]

The only reason I am here is because Fatalis has been announced in MHW:Iceborne and I started playing the game this year. So I need a history lesson. Thank you, Prof. Byf

[@royalbanner4019]

Legiana and odagaron are probably my fav monsters

[@cubalibre-5238]

Who is here after the Fatalis trailer?

[@Shinzon23]

..i didn't think we had more other than "these creatures are dangerous, go blow them to he'll and wear pieces of them as armor!"

[@juliecatte]

I could listen to your voice all day long bud. Keep up the awesome work

[@seekerofgoods]

Im actually working on a monster hunter project for school and considering I didn’t play the older games this video really does help so thank you man for making this

[@Ezekiel_Kleyer]

So... where is the next part of the lore then?

[@samkingofthedank]

The equal dragon weapon was humanity's tool that broke the balance of nature. I like to think of Alatreon as an elder dragon, that is just that. Something that breaks the balance of nature, and is beyond even Fatalis. Not only because it is viewed in similar regard as the Fatalis and its weapons and armor share similar stories, but because it almost seems more than just a natural disaster beast. It possesses multiple elements to the point where it is unstable and can hardly control its power, beyond fits of pure rage. It can make it thunder and rain spikes of ice twice the size of a person, in the middle of a volcano. It doesn't just control the weather intentionally, its mood can effect the weather. It can cause multiple different kinds of natural disasters in a whim, and seems to possess traits from numerous other elder dragons. And I love that about him. Fatalis seems to be viewed as more pure evil. Whilst Alatreon, is viewed as something unnatural, abhorrent, and terrifying. There are elder dragons that have similar powers to control the weather like it, like Amatsu. But Amatsu is viewed with much more reverance and respect. Like a wrathful, yet holy god. Alatreon feels like the opposite to that. A mad, disturbed being that is an afront to even the gods themselves.The embodiment of chaos and conflict. Fitting given that in its past lore, its described as having wings that can shine like the rising sun, and darken to a shade blacker than the abyss. One of his quests in the past monster hunter games was named quite literally, Where Gods Fear To Tread. Alatreon will always be my favorite.

[@nuke2099]

The EDW isn't even canon. It's from concept art from before MH1 was ever created and it's never mentioned in any of the games and neither is the "Dragon War". There was a Ancient Civilisation and it disappeared. How? nobody knows.

[@MistressChara]

Dragon War is actually mentioned many times in Monster Hunter Frontier. And while whether or not frontier is canon is dubious at best. Many of the sources in this video come from early monster hunter games such as Monster Hunter G/Freedom. The Destruction of the ancient civilization, too, is referenced indirectly in the Tale of Five in Monster Hunter World.

[@nuke2099]

Frontier doesn't count. And there's no mention of such a thing in any gen 1 or 2 game. Only evidence of Frontier being canon to the main series is me being told "Oh yeah the devs said so 9 years ago". But nothing to back it up. As for the Ancient Civilisation being referenced. It's just that a reference there's nothing about a EDW or Dragon War. All we have ever gotten in any MH game is a reference to it and it being mentioned here and there but never any explanation on what really happened.

[@MistressChara]

Nuke2099 Read my reply because I already addressed those things. Don't just skim and comment.

[@nuke2099]

Yeah except I did read what you said. Frontier doesn't count.

[@firetools]

Awesome video, and Im glad you're talking about monsters not yet shown in World. Can this extend to your profile videos? I think it would be of great interest for the newcomers who watch these vids to know how extensive the Monster roster has been up to this point, and it will keep them excited for more.

[@baboonlagoon3211]

Not gonna lie to you chief, that was amazing. I never knew the game I loved so much had such chilling lore. Thank you.

[@DarkSeeker9713]

I want to see Fatalis Trio and Alatreon, damn, Black Dragons in general, in MHW, and I want them to have a turf war with Nergigante and kick his spiky butt (I mean, he can't stand a chance against them)

[@feircy]

DarkSeeker 9713 alatreon was on a leaked list for MHW so the chance is still there!

[@DarkSeeker9713]

Feircy Ikr, that's why I hope for a return of the other Black Dragons, because Fatalis Trio is even more iconic than Alatreon, and with the new engine and mechanics they can do an amazing revamp of Dire Miralis

[@feircy]

DarkSeeker 9713 that and i still think dalamadur would be an amazing spectacle.

[@DarkSeeker9713]

Sure We have the skeleton, now we want the fight Also, a final showdown with Zorah where you actually fight him and kill him and the Lao revamp that they mentioned to possibly "be done in MH5" would be nice

[@MorgaAlba]

DarkSeeker 9713 I remember a trailer where you actually fight it to kill it and Nergigante is in the final zone, you have to repel it to avoid that destroys the stuff to do damage to it.

[@mrpronoob8130]

when is the next lore, my friend?

[@tyrallius-3581]

This was beautifully epic! Great job as always Byf! Love your content!

[@LuckyLombaX]

Your voice is so nice to listen to. Its great for the narration!

[@Mr-Moron]

I hope you return to Monster Hunter some day. Your delivery, voice, and editing skills really sell how dark this series can be sometimes.

[@kennethhorton2763]

I can't get over how much you enjoy being in the air with IG, I know it's just background video to the actual lore content but I hope you have airborne deco equipped 😂

[@masonleslie3039]

Can you do Gogmazios next?

[@properlydicedonyon3624]

Apple Juice he really doesn't have much lore. He just showed up, stole the dragonator, and got murdered. We don't know his backstory or his motives

[@slight7596]

What i love about fatalis the most is his classic dragon design its like hes the true elder dragon

[@ImLegendaryMike]

Wait that music playing in the background is from elder dragon Ceadus from Tri right?

[@maxvodsy844]

it is! :)

[@ImLegendaryMike]

Berring Zen forret* I thought so. I Remember that fight like the back of my hand.That music calm yet chaotic matched the fight. Such a memorable Elder

Every time I hear the music I remember almost drowning trying to shoot it with ballistas with 5 mins left fun fight.

[@lagiacrus1180]

yeeeee boy

[@yorudaan]

Fatalis, Fatalis, why do you keep nuking me whenever I try to use the dragonator or shoot you in the face with a cannonball?

[@JaniceGhostHunter13]

Simple. He wants to wear you.

[@Dumb-Comment]

I love lore that's not written and shoved directly into your face and you have to find it by pieces and pieces, little references here and there

[@JeepusChrystler]

I swear I've been telling people this for _years_ but MonHun lore is _SO FUCKING COOL_

[@elginj3410]

Whew, loved the video byf! I do want to know though, did you play MH3U at all to get to Dire Miralis? If you haven't you should really consider doing so, as it is a great Monster Hunter game and would not be terribly hard to stream

[@masonleslie3039]

Elgin J Did you enjoy the underwater combat? I did but I don't get why others disliked it.

[@Punbun2]

Dire Miralis

[@elginj3410]

Punbun the Consumer of Lurkers 2.0 Yes, I am aware, just a misspelling. Just fixed it

[@nojsageiv]

I think this was his first monster hunter.

[@elginj3410]

nojsageiv Yeah it is, but idk if he played 3U in the background at all. I highly doubt it, but at least watching him stream it would be pretty cool for everyone to watch

[@UselessNekoGang]

So what happened to the continuation of the lore homie? Where’d that project go?

[@JJAB91]

I have been waiting 6 years

[@UselessNekoGang]

@JJAB91 well it ain't coming, because bro's lore was a mixture of half truths and a lot of fanfiction. I ended up doing the digging myself.

[@BongerZ013]

I had no idea u did MH World vids. MH World has a special place in my heart, no joke. Im thrilled that you covered this at its time.

[@uzumaki7535]

If any of you have talked to the Wyverian Hunter in MHW and you finish the seige of Saf'jiva he questions on the acts we do to try and save everybody and the New World when we face a monster capable of destroying us. And he asks, if we destroy these threats then who will be the one to destroy us when the line is finally crossed. That leads me to believe that our story as the Hunter will come face to face with Fatalis. One day, I think, all of us will meet this great evil and know that deep in our hearts - our end has come full circle.

[@toreole5831]

lore: fatalis, the wyvern of destruction, if you see him: RUN some hunters with pointy sticks: lol we killed him

[@HullsColby]

Imagine killing Fatty with stones.

[@CryBlade]

@@HullsColby dont give Team darkside ideas

[@HelenaRedgrave]

Fatalis has an extremely basic design for such an important monster to the lore.

[@GunlessSnake]

That's intentional. When the first game was being made, the team wanted the focus to be on Wyverns instead of traditional four-legged Dragons. They then decided after making Wyverns the most common Monster we face that the most powerful Dragons, the True Elder Dragons like Fatalis, would be simple Dragons of old, with their simplistic design bellying their immense power.

[@dhuntermg]

Dajjal It gives me Gregory vibes from Dragon's Dogma definitely.

[@phillycosidae756]

The "lore" in this instance relies heavily on the art books of dubious importance. The Equal Dragon Weapon? Never even mentioned in the games. It was an illustration in one artbook. And there is nothing to suggest Fatalis destroyed the Ancient Civilization; Fatalis destroyed Castle Shrade, but there's a difference between a single kingdom and a globe-spanning civilization. I enjoy Byf's videos and Banned Tobi-Kadachi's theories, but people need to realize that at the end of the day, this isn't a well-detailed story by the devs, it's a few folks' interpretation of some choice tidbits of info.

[@nergone3640]

famitsu confirmed that hunter's encyclopedia are canon to series so EDWs are canon,(the reason why we never heard them is guild trying to hide them like how they hid powerful monsters == fatty and ala) for the fatty part,white fatty destroyed castle shrade.İn ancient times,fatalis' were like present's rathalos.(Just imagine a sky filled with fatalis).All elder dragons fought Ancient civizaliton but mainly fatalis helped them to destroy A.C.

[@ThatHippyDuck]

That is because he is one of the oldest, if not the oldest elder dragon in the lore. So, he is in the most basic forms of his evolution if that makes sense

[@iamjafar925]

Whos here after the final development diary for Iceborne? Gotta love the new palico armor

[@philipgreenhalgh9633]

6 years later. Shame this series never continued, I would love to learn about the different lands and regions and animals as best we know any lore would have been great.
