Monster Hunter Wilds - ALL 49 Hidden Details & New Trailer Gameplay Secrets - Arkveld Hints & More!

[@aaroncunningham8307]

Nata was the one asking for the weapon. Mixed with the chain symbolism surrounding Arkveld, I think they’re setting up a “violence-against-nature through superstition” arc. Perhaps the keepers locked away Arkveld, believing it to be a malicious omen. Or given the “surprise final boss” angle most games take, maybe it was used like a guard dog against something bigger, and they just forgot why over time, inventing new reasons to justify their actions. Either way Arkveld went mad due the isolation, hence it running about causing havoc.

[@aqj2014]

yeah i assumed he was asking for the weapon

[@coda-shut-up4477]

This would be an awesome story for a mh game

[@Stephano217]

Yup I had the same idea on reddit as well. The kid is just too full of rage and Hate to be the hero of the story or to even be morally justified. It's obvious Arkveld was wrongly imprisoned but all this dumb kid knows is "that's the monster that destroyed my village" we don't hunt out of revenge, never have, never will

[@neerodz2650]

and Nata might be either looking for revenge or to do his people duty by capturing Arkveld, i'm guessing it's more of a revenge story until like you said we find out that his people weren't that great to Arkveld

[@jojof3057]

I think it's something to do with the wraith being extinct, what if the conflict is with the guild, and them not letting us hunt the last remaining member of this species because they have no idea what it's place is in the greater ecosystem

[@thatsoab2545]

It seemed more like Nata was frustrated that Arkveld was right there and the Hunters were just observing, demanding the Hunter's weapon to avenge his people. Kagero was also consumed with revenge against Amatsu for destroying his home, so it isn't a new concept for MH.

[@sharksuperiority9736]

Loving the balance of animalistic and fantasy features in these monsters. Like Uth Dunna being like an arapaima with betta fish fins, but also a titanic river god that can only appears during rainy seasons and covers itself in rainbows. Also, I was thinking about Uth Dunna, Rey Dao and their areas. World had five base areas, I don’t think its impossible that Wilds would match that. Additionally Uth Dunna feels very much like the embodiment of the water element, and Rey Dao the thunder. So one must wonder if we’ll also see a region and respective apex for fire, ice, and dragon. Most games have a volcano and ice area so it seems so it makes sense if we had a fire and ice region. Last much less likely idea, looking at the purple electrical-y power of Arkveld, maybe it could be the apex of the dragon element?

[@VirtuousWanderer]

I think that we could be getting 5-6 locales the standard desert, forest, snowfields, and volcano. But what if there are 5-6 maybe an ancient ruins locale like Josh mentioned, and one more that I wouldnt know how to begin guessing. Then we would have a locale for each apex (the 4 smaller heads in the gen-6 emblem), and a locale for each of the larger heads on the top and bottom of the emblem.

[@rin_okami]

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

​@@MrOrdosan I wouldn't be surprised if there's a law around it as well. This is an expedition job, you can't just kill everything that moves else it's considered poaching, hence why you have a handler for all the paperwork in between. A monster, especially one that's supposedly extinct, has to be considered a genuine threat to ecosystems before the guild can accept it to be slain. Wanting a monster dead because of personal grudges is not an acceptable reason to slay a monster that could very well be the last of it's kind.

Hey Rage, I have a *PREDICTION* for your brain to nibble on. Remember the theories about the six serpents in the Wilds logo? Two larger, one light and the other dark, with four smaller around them? Calling it now: 4 zones, 4 apex monsters, the White Wraith... and the White Wraith's opposite, a 'Black Wraith" equivalent.

[@Foatizenknechtl]

uuuuuh, makes sense.

[@TheUmbfer]

could be, but what if...the 6 snakes standing each for a extinct species, while "the white wraith" being one of the 4 smaller ones and the 2 big ones, are unknown elder dragons living in a unknown place...a place where these "extinct" species where living all the time, causing them to flee in which they cause trouble and chaos

[@VenomPureEvil]

"Why is the flagship monster running around killing all the apex monsters?" What if he senses a monstrous elder awakening and is cutting off its food supply at the source so that he has a chance in killing the intruder.

[@librus8680]

... Looking at Arkveld, I wonder if it'll have a metamorphosis of its own. It looks so desaturated and "restrained" with the huge chain-like whips on its body, but perhaps it hunts and destroys because it's absorbing bioenergy, starved from this source for however long, driven to this ravenous behavior. Perhaps it transforms once fully sated, rising almost like a phoenix from its own "ashes" - its molt, losing the "chains" in the process and becoming truly free, walloping the True Big Bad in the finale (... and us probably hunting this true form in a later update). It really feels like this story is going to hammer home the ideas that the Guild stands for - primarily hunting with a nondestructive purpose. Nata (and perhaps his people) hunger for vengeance for this thing, but we hold back - this creature possibly being the last of its kind. Perhaps a large portion of our Journey will involve Nata (and to that extent, us, the audience) witnessing the ways of the Guild and coming to understand the complex, sometimes cruel intricacies of this natural world. Perhaps *that's* what further justifies the purpose of Arkveld - it exists to counter an even worse force, but Keepers perhaps forgot this purpose, having kept the old thing locked away for so long, the Big Final Boss Dragon not appearing for even longer. ... I hope I'm wrong, though - as much as I want to boast about calling this. Wilds is really trying tons of new things, and I'm eager to be constantly surprised with every step this adventure contains!! Gotta' make it to March, everyone...!!

[@joshdame9623]

Do you think that arkvald is gonna have a hybrid element like the ones from Frontier? If we take espinas in rise being a thing, and the flagship thought to be extinct... And the chains... It reads like a metaphor for those monsters and features being "chainned up" in frontier

[@TheSilversepiroth]

Ehhh... I don't know if Frontier monsters showing up in Rise can be used to show for Frontier showing up in the mainline games. Rise is a lot more on the absurd end when compared to the direction World and now Wilds is showing to take, and Espinas is on the tamer end of what Frontier has to offer. I feel like if we're going to see Frontier in anything going forward, unless it's locales or layered equipment I doubt we're going to see anything of note from it anywhere other than the side games

[@whotfisijinet]

Maybe something like unchained arkveld with an element being a reference to free elemnt skill. That will be cool i guess but maybe for a wilds dlc

[@chasetrexboy]

i have a little theory in light of Uth Duna being shown i think that there might be 5 locals each of them corresponding with each element like Windward Plains and ray dau dealing with thunder, scarlet forest and Uth Duna representing water so there might be 3 other locals and apex's that will represent the rest fire, ice and dragon.

[@VirtuousWanderer]

I think exactly this but there could be a 6th locale dealing with some other element/status. It makes sense in my mind because 6th gen, obviously at least (potentially) four brand new apexes, and *potentially* two brand new elders lookin at the composition of the 6th Gen emblem

[@Soulsteal1]

Volcano area, snowy mountain, and ancient civilization city for dragon element, sounds about right

[@j.r.bergwick1826]

[@blastshooter8791]

We have content we can talk about for weeks and where about to even get more later this very week with the live stream. The scarlet forest doesn't really look all that red but that could be like it's default where after the downpour it looks more red but that's just my current theory. and the white wreath Ark looks really badass and I can't wait to see more of what he can do, but I have one possible idea given this games whole thing with the weather that it might tie into his ability like that one Crystal Leviathan from frontier that I can't remember the name of. Overall can't wait to see what they have for rest of the week.

[@kaijukebox]

This new apex is the first MH monster to genuinely scare me. Something about it's deep sea aurora just sends a shiver down my spine.

Its probably hitting on the primal fear of water specifically murky deep water that a lot of people have.

[@gutinho9848]

idk how significant this is but when nata says "give it to me", in the japanese version he says give me a weapon which probably ties into the comment of how a hunter has a weapon and does nothing. which might indicate that nata. is trying to avenge his village on his own accord.

[@marmyeater]

I hope that getting a Frontier-esque monster means we will get Abiorugu and Giaorugu, or at least something like them.

[@matthewnesci3172]

Great analysis but I think you missed a few new weapons. When throwing bombs at lala barina, on the hunters back looks like a new pair of dual blades, probably doshaguma. You caught the lala barina lance, but to the right is a new hammer, probably also doshaguma, and to the left the balahara sword and shield. And in the bit with the balahara hunting horn there is also a greatsword hunter over by rey dau's wings, it is hard to make out what equipment they have but from the silhouette it might just be the rathalos GS.

[@Mhopson968]

Oh no! Tai Lung broke out of jail and the “new fated four” aren’t enough to keep it in check so they need the dragon warrior to step in. That’s one way I see it. The apex monsters of each locale are probably the ones who keep the balance and some unknown force upset the ecosystem and unleashed Arkveld. Or…maybe it’s pokemon 2000 and the apex monsters sense a shift in power and try to expand their territories by force and Arkveld is their Lugia and is responsible for keeping the apex monsters in check.

[@Kirdex90]

I’m willing to bet we’re gonna be introduced to a second flagship. Considering the logo for the game has two large monster symbols, one aiming up and one aiming down, this could imply two flagships. Also I suspect we’ll have at least four regions. Again based on the logo we have four smaller monster symbols and with the apex monsters seeming to be important to the story these could represent them. There could be a fifth region that doesn’t have an apex because it’s Elder Dragon territory.

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

Monster hunter world was extremely grounded with what the monsters were capable of and their designs suffered for it so I'm glad they're going back to making monsters exciting again.

[@blazingruin2975]

The giant skeleton of an ancient creature could also look to be that of a Ceadeus if that one bone that is sticking out is a horn. The Ancient civilization surrounding the scene is very reminiscent of the one in Tri, especially that where you fight Ceadeus and Abyssal Lagi.

[@Trishula97]

Okay, theory about Arkveld, the new flagship. Based on its purple glowing parts, I'd say it may use dragon element, however, in the trailer, we obviously see it battling Rey Dau and, if you look closely, battling Uth Duna too. What if, if it kills them, it can absorb their energy and then use their elements? So, like a pseudo Alatreon in a way, and perhaps it'll battle the Apex monsters on the other possible two areas as well and absorb their elements too, giving it, potentially, fire and ice element as well?

[@akishirota]

In the japanese trailer, the lil boy Nata says: "you are a hunter and you are doing nothing, i want a weapon as well so then...!" im pretty curious why they decided to change it throw the english version.

Hey Josh, check out the logo. We have 6 dragons for MH6 right? But also we have 4 circles, for the 4 locales and 4 apex monsters all of which if you look closely are connected by small Chain Link circles. Look how the circles are connected! I think this shows the white wraith as one of the middle dragons wrapping the apex’s with the chains and the second dragon is the final traditional secret boss monster.

The lack of returning LARGE monsters is unsettling... While Rathalos and Rathian are a no brainer, not getting even a taste of returning oldies bothers me. A lot of people didn't start until World and gen 4 and 3 has gotten very minimal love outside of flagships in gen 5 games. There would be no harm in bringing them back, especially since there's a lot of monsters that you just don't see anymore in favour of others. Like, they constantly keep bringing back Khezu but always benching gigginox. There's always a Diablos but where's monoblos? Why have they still not included qurupeco after all this time when it matches perfectly with invader monsters? It's great to have a whole bunch of new monsters but there's a load of high quality older gen monsters that deserve a glow up and are still incredibly unique and interesting to stand up with the new ones. There's no monster that behaves like Zamtrios, Narjarala or seltas queen for example. It would help fill up the monster list and still be exciting for new players as well as old time fans.

interesting that so far Cotton was right we haven't seen a single returning large monster other then Ratholos, and I suppose we've got congalala armor but it could still be a different monster where the armor just looks similar. I think it'd be kinda sick if the only returning monsters are variants just because of how harsh the conditions here are normal monsters just can't exsist here

[@Darkwarp1994]

btw i believe the flagship could open a unique floodgate cause they refer it to being an extinct species as to what its related to we most likely wont know for now. but this isn't the only time monster hunter has done this in a sense cause a few of frontier monsters were like this the main example i can remember by description is teostra and lunastra ice element ancestor. so could wilds main gimmick theme of the tempered apex etc be this and if so imagine how meny old monsters extinct family members we could see. Last thing i will add is this comment is mainly a theory and i will admit i could very well be wrong.

Uth donna: you dare come into my house and smack me with a hammer?! Im calling the guild

[@blood_star32]

It's almost like the apexes of wilds are like Individuals with there Names and final stand arenas

[@Dino-zg2kg]

Am i the only one getting Final Fantasy Vibes from all tge monster designs? Also that Chicken trex reminds me a lot of that chicken monster from Wild Hearts.

[@SassyCassie89]

I think Arkveld is thought to be extinct because its design is from frontier which got shut down.

[@danielz6177]

I absolutely love Uth Duna as well as Arapaimas which looks to be what it’s based on

[@ryano699]

i really thought the spider was going to be the apex monster of the forest

[@deltaknight2764]

Calling it now: The Keepers are secretly guarding the Equal Dragon Weapon and Arkveld was locked up because they thought he'd make a perfect guard dog for the abomination.

[@j.r.bergwick1826]

I had to look up what this was, but thats an interesting theory.

[@brutaljk5997]

Imagine if Arkveld is the Equal Dragon Weapon.

[@deltaknight2764]

@@brutaljk5997 Eh, he looks a little too natural for me to believe that. I like the idea of the EDW being this mismatched and heavily asymmetrical manmade abomination against nature.

[@adrianluna346]

I am so exited for this game. When I saw the trailer for the first time I couldn't stop giggling like a little girl. GOG I love this series so much.

[@Olivia-Hunt]

Nata was the one that wanted the hunters weapon, it was them who said you're a hunter and you do nothing, then says give it to me. [our weapon]

[@Glacier_Prince]

I still can't believe that they gave the Palicos voices. I'm so used to them just, "Yeeowww" and then a text box appearing.

[@antoinerossouw9533]

We have the option for fully voiced or just meow sounds with subtitles. You can set it to be what you prefer

[@Syn-eo7yv]

I haven't been keeping up on all the updates but... we haven't seen any returning monster yet, have we? I'm an intermediate-skill player, but a vet, none the less (playing since PSP days,) and I'm extremely excited to see these new monsters with INSANE new moves. That wave attack? Seems simple on paper, but that is AWESOME. While other games put out the same garbage, Monster Hunter is always looking to take their game to the next level and that's why I love it. The only franchise where they release the expansion and you KNOW it's going to be worth it.

[@iMightBeCrazy]

Nata wants to kill it and wants you to give him a weapon

[@bielmfig4534]

Don’t know why, but arkveld reminds me of the white death from httyd

[@chelsariphotography7994]

I actually teared up watching the new trailer, it was just incredible to not only get so much more information and see the new monsters and apex but getting the release date was exhilarating. Absolutely agree that Feb 2025 cannot come soon enough!!

[@johnbarrett6238]

I really hope there is a couple of areas they haven't shown yet. Id love to see some WILD looking locals!

[@itsyaboiguzma]

Keep in mind all the areas theyve shown have been only 2 maps. There's suspected to be more even though these maps are double the size of worlds maps.

[@johnbarrett6238]

@@itsyaboiguzma That's what I'm hoping. I really wanna play in some unique places because I started with world and have been playing in a forest and desert for quite a while. I think they will surprise us quite nicely!

[@stevelopez6957]

We will most likely be getting a demo announcement during Tokyo Game show and one last trailer showing the next zone, If you look at the dates of the World Trailers releases it seems that Wilds is following their path to the T I’m also guessing next trailer will also begin to show returning monsters as we still have not even gotten a look at Rath yet

[@DashXero]

It's like they turned Omega Red into a monster fight and I'm here for it!

[@beefmeatloaf]

12:09 @ragegamingvideos the 'ruins with the bone' looks like the back of zorah this could be the body of a juvenile without its rocky parts or with a different looking back as they probably aren't all the same it's unlikely for a mountain to sink - however if they built on a creature and it passed chances are the body would fall apart

[@beefmeatloaf]

Also thanks for the flashback halfway through

[@facade11663]

Nata is not shouting about an "artifact" he is shouting at the hunter to give him your weapon. Because the hunter is not trying to fight it immediately.

[@rickn6923]

Also fire chicken helm looks like it makes your head a chicken. Zoom in at the barrel bomb part on the archer. If that is the case I have found my new head piece to go with the buff body layered armor and I am so so damn happy for it

[@duckthatisinvisible]

18:20 To me it seems like the palico move here is more similar to the regular vigrowasp healing move than the big revive, and the hunter just happened to be knocked on the ground for it. I would love to be proven wrong tho, it would be great to see the revives’ return! Edit: One of the other reasons I think it’s just a normal heal is that the get-up time for the hunter just seems too quick for a revive move, but I may be misremembering how that move looks

[@lipelyrio]

I believe arkveld is going to be the low rank boss. Still thinking (and wishing) that the high rank boss is related to the logo, maybe a pack of serpent/dragon-like monsters.

[@big_watson04]

I was thinking that a maybe a large dead serpent monster died on the mountain a long time ago. leaving behind giant rib bones scattered across the mountain sides.
