I love the small detail that if you wait in camp long enough when not in the tent at Castle Schrade, Fatalis will eventually start lobbings fireballs there to kill you. And they very much can kill you, too!

[@RyoIsamuGaming]

How'd this occur? I recall seeing some deaths and presume it was due to AI still trailing a person with the triple fireball after a farcaster.

[@GunlessSnake]

@@RyoIsamuGaming Nope! It's just a thing that Fatalis does if a player decides to linger in the campzone for several minutes straight and there's no one else for him to fight down in the actual fight arena. He'll lob a fireball there every so often until you fight him properly.

[@RyoIsamuGaming]

@@GunlessSnake Well I sat there for 15min after enraging him via clutch claw, and he just swapped between two animations. I don't think he does that.

[@GunlessSnake]

@@RyoIsamuGaming Huh..... interesting. I remember seeing a video where that happened, but it might've been an example of your first comment. I can't say for sure. Might be a phase-specific thing where it only happens in certain phases? I dunno, I don't have MHW:IB, so I can't personally test this stuff.

[@RyoIsamuGaming]

@@GunlessSnake My theory is based off the very same situation occuring in a Team Darkside MHW fail video: my BEST guess is that it occurs when you Far Caster and Fatalis targets you for his trio of fireballs attack; as it trails you, the last fireball will be aimed at you at the camp, as it is still following you. And then kaboom.

[@VertebreakHER]

12:20 this is really cool as it feels a lot like a biological quirk that's been mythicized by the playerbase, in the same way the hunters often do so for most of the monsters it makes a certain degree of sense form an adaptive standpoint to, in its most physically vulnerable form Shara Ishvalda has a trait that potentially tricks predators into thinking it can always see them

[@Roo-vy2cI]

But who dares to prey on the shara? Black Dragons?

[@DisparaErvilha7387]

​@@Roo-vy2cIuhhh nergigante?

[@Roo-vy2cI]

​@DisparaErvilha7387 However, it was already after Hunter knocked down Shara once when kill stealer Nergite knocked Shara down. It is difficult to think that Nergi, who is unable to properly bond with Bazelgeus, will be able to topple and predate the average Shara. And Shara's eyes were probably influenced by the Japanese Happonirami, a painting technique that felt as if it's eye were looking this way from any direction. This technique was mainly used in paintings of dragons.

[@MrNicePotato]

It's actually also a genius trick in terms of coding. To make the eyes focus onto the camera for everyone in a multiplayer setting, they would have to somehow code the eye tracking to work on the client side. Using this simple concave trick, they don't even have to code the eye tracking because it's automatically done by the geometry.

[@cormoranoimperatore8413]

30:29 I talked often to the huntsman in my first playthrough because y’know he’s cool and I really liked how he is so obviously a caricature of the old time purist hunters who refute any new mechanic added to the game (as demonstrated by world’s pre launch period where people were worried scoutflies would “remove the thrill of the hunt” or something like that). Not like worrying isn’t valid of course it’s just sometimes is too much.

[@tytorex8202]

I always enjoyed seeing what he would have to say about whatever mission I had next! Sometimes the tips were pretty helpful when I could figure out what they meant, and seeing him missing from his chair during that one section was spooky. I missed my mentor!

[@Whodoyouthinkpog]

It did remove the thrill of the hunt. But it made me feel like something new.

[@baval5]

The huntsman seems to be the hunter from Freedom Unite, from the intro cinematic of the Rathian armor being assembled (though he used a Greatsword). Hes wearing the Rathian X armor from classic G rank games. So it makes sense for him to represent veteran players.

He often talks about how he can't use the new tools too, which culminated in him giving you the temporal mantle.

If its a programming trick and Shara is meant to be looking at you its awesome lore, and I think the alternative of it maybe evolving concave corneas is just as cool. A creature evolving eyes shaped like that has cool implications of how it sees, or maybe it evolved them for the same reason as the programming trick, to make anything attacking it think its looking directly at them, like a suped up version of a tiger's eye spots on the back of their heads.

[@swagzagoon2596]

Capcom really pushed the limit on how far you can go with a monster concept with how much detail you can put into it.

[@dianslabbert504]

Some other things I know of. 1. In W:I Rathalos and Glavenus can have different outcomes to their turf wars depending in which area of a map they fight in. In areas that are relatively flat, Glavenus wins. Areas with elevation differences, Rathalos wins. 2. The more fire resistant a monster is the less damage they take from Torch Pod flames on the ground. Teostra takes 0 damage yet in Rise it can be set on fire by a beetle's rock collection. This also applies to other elemental slinger shots in that do more damage to monster is weak to that element or less if its resistant to it. It's an insignificant detail, but I appreciate it and I hope in MH6 they revise the Elemental Blights on monsters so that monsters are resistant or immune depending on their natural resistances. 3. Brightsmoss does thunder damage when fired with the bow's 1000 Dragons move. 4. In Rise you can cancel Basarios' digging, swim like attack by throwing a Mud beetle at it or Wirebug jumping then tossing a Large Barrel Bomb down on it. This causes it to be immobile for a short while like its trapped in a pitfall trap. I don't see people use this tactic at all. Usually, a majority of people just dodge roll or wirebug up to avoid it. Afflicted Basarios can be a bit resistant to it though.

Many herbivores in real life will eat meat when provided, as it contains much needed protein! It's a great detail to have included imo Edit 1: I've gotten farther into the video (I'm commenting as I go along), the Rath and Diablos corpses in the Vale is really interesting considering that the Highlands and Vale are physically separated from the Forest and Waste by the Great Ravine. I wonder how those got there, they look relatively fresh... then again, Raths and Diablos _are_ Flying Wyverns, and there's at least a Rath subspecies in the Elder's Recess, so I suppose it's not inaccurate to guess that the Raths and Diablos were travelling, maybe in search of new territory, and were killed by the effluvium? Edit 2: Further on, at the 32:15 mark. I noticed this when I was starting Iceborne for the second time, but Viper Tobi-Kadachi's pupils reflecting light in certain lightings is SUCH A COOL DETAIL! I audibly went "That's so cool" when I saw that it applied not only to the cutscene, but in gameplay as well! To those who don't know, the pupil reflecting light is caused by the tapetum lucidum, which is a thin layer of tissue in the eyes of many vertebrates that allows for better low-light vision. I can only assume Viper has this because it's more used to staying in the lower levels of the Reach, away from the blinding snow and ice and light in general, where as regular Tobi spends lots of time out in broad daylight in the Forest. Edit 3: 38:56 This.... is extremely good to know! I see all this dialogue in game relating to the Tale of the Five, but I've never known the Tale itself, so I'm glad to know I can actually read it in game! Edit 4: 39:35 OWL STANCE!!!! Bird features like this are some of the reasons that Legiana is one of my favourite monsters, if not my actual full on favourite in World. Edit 5: Note, this is only my final edit of this message on my first watch! I'll probably add more as I rewatch :) That said... That is the fastest rising bread dough I have ever seen what _monster yeast_ are these Palicoes using???

I like how you revised many of your points in the previous videos and sprinkled in new stuff periodically, it makes these videos feel fresh and exciting, especially if you watched them back to back multiple times before

[@UnBlank07]

Monster Hunter World always feels like there's a living eco system within the game, the way they kept all the monsters from interacting with the environment will always be the best feature of MH World/Iceborne, and will never feel dull when playing it, I've only just notice a couple of details of MHW just by watching this video, and now it makes me wanna play it again 😁

19:24 A reminder that most herbivore animals in the world (and by extension monster hunter) are opportunistic omnivores and will eat small animals and insects if they feel like it! I imagine a freshly cut tail would be quite a attractive supper as well.

Okay I’m gonna be honest, learning bisha is a marsupial is kinda throwing me for a loop

[@Ajehy]

A fruit loop?

[@faintedtreecko]

Tbf there's not really another way to store fruit they way they do

[@rob0duck430]

Marsupial pouches are for maternal reasons. Bishaten is using it for storage similarly to other animals that also have pouches on their body. It's just where the pouch is located.

[@miiverseisdead4942]

I'm pretty sure the village urgent quest for hunting one even has Master Hamon talking about using the pouch as a way to ferment food to lure a Magnamalo away from the Rampage and to the Shrine Ruins for its urgent quest. That's also how the blue ones get poison fruits. The persimmons ferment and age and turn purple like that.

[@LuxDraconis]

The fruit/pinecones gotta come from somewhere.

[@Hooy-Jaymay]

Oooh! I have a story involving Worldborne Tigrex. Apparently A Teostra scared all the small monsters away, depriving the Tigrex of any food, eventually enough time passes for the game to give me multiple "Tigrex is leaving the locale" messages, but the Tigrex was too hungry and tired to move and just waited in the main river bed area of the Wildspire. I guess if a monster goes too long without food, it just refuses to move unless provoked. I eventually aggroed it and got it to eat some of my meat bait, which was enough to satiate it and the Tigrex immediatley left. I have no idea if this was intentional or just a bug.

[@cheewinkaewthai8781]

Man, it always amazes me when learning some carzy details like these. It shows how much love and care has been put into making the game. God, I love this game Imma play it again rn

[@CanoliDealer]

I think a lot of the things shown in this video are the reason people love Monster Hunter so much. The monsters actually have thought put into the biology and physiology of their design, and a lot of the time that's what you can either utilize to your advantage or be wary of. Things like the curled toes for comfortable walking just add that little cherry on top to make these creatures seem like they have evolved and adapted over hundreds of thousands of years

[@FenrinJRaten]

You know... as mesmerising as the Felyne making dough at the end was, the one thing that has ever bothered me about Monster Hunter as a whole, is that Felynes who are covered in fur, are cooking. How is there no cat hair or people complaining about it? I MUST KNOW XDDD Otherwise thank you for the trivia Tea Common Shark! This was cosy to watch and listen to when working.

I like to think that Tea at 36:47 just wanted to show off a fish skeleton he owns in his room. Really makes me think that hes an actual hunter who photographs and records all his ecology videos and skits. Also, I love how Nergi has such a suspenfull chase theme that basicly shows nergi is now the hunter. Love how the Reverse Skedaddle theme for Nergi is basicly saying "COME THE HELL HERE BOY I AINT DONE WITH YOU YET!" Also Also, I love how the Hunter and Malenzo fighting Quirio for an entire night may make referance to the title itself. A *sunbreak* is basicly a fancy word for Sunrise. And who but Primordial Malenzo is fancier than the rest? If you say regular Malenzo or Pobo i will reach through the screen and send you to Gaismagorm.

[@usernameig975]

1:20 This is beautiful. Ive been watching this foe the past 5 hrs.

[@ivorynargie]

Little thing to note on the herbivores eating cut tails, is that it makes a lot of sense since herbivores irl eat meat every now and then to get carbs and stuff

[@ARedHat]

Anjanath is such a hodge podge of predator traits. Spike/quills at the tip of tail, powerful body frame, over sized underjaw used for variety of things including digging, not the mention the hip wings and extended nostrils. And tied all up with a splash of a fire sac

[@condoslime776]

39:24 that's actually not a real Legiana, but just a background object. They are always there in the reach, even when there's no actual Legiana present. You can see another one like that if you look further up from the first one, and there are many more Legiana in the background. To continue the Legiana talk, I did not know at all Shrieking could vomit from poison, or even that any other monster interacts in such a way from a status. Very cool detail.

[@alexandroskaminas]

The fin placement of the fish at 37:10 are characteristic of Sarcopterygii, an early ancestor of tetrapods...and by extension humans

[@user-cc9kx8tw6t]

Okay that CG Valstrax beam sweep is actually scary and I had initially expected it to do it in MR (or even for the Risen form). I wonder why they cut it because those unused animations are great and animated very fluidly. Plus they add variety to the moveset and would probably make CG Valstrax a more challenging fight.

Honestly, with all these small details, I was genuinely surprised Rakna doesn't have a full body modelled beneath the webbing. Not that I, or anyone should expect them to bother with something we'll literally never see, but it seems like the kind of thing they'd have done anyway.

Rise cut down so many stuffs to save power/performance basically. You can easily see it by comparing the fidelity/details of world monster that appear in rise like tobi/jyura/anja etc

The savage jo punking those legiana at the end was great (on top of that those legiana teaming up reminds me of the intro cutscene for zinogre in iceborne)

[@blobvisfan666]

The one that surprised me the most was definitely the Gobul one. The fact you (or whoever you got this info from) found this out years after the release of hislast appearance in 3U is quite impressive, cuz who would ever think to look inside the mouth of a Gobul during gameplay?! Really cool detail, all in all.

[@TheDevilDucker]

Another thing about the Gathering Hub Room If you enter this room from the Hub Door at the Beginning of the game or before finishing the Story, you can enter to The Chamber of the Five aka this room where the research Team reunites during some dialogue scenes through the Story, for example, the scene where the General Explains what Fatalis Is and all the Commission Is there, the room changes to the private room once you finish the Story

[@DepressedCrow]

So many things in world interact with each other which makes the game so much more interesting Ill sometimes go on expeditions just to watch various monsters go about their day and make note of them 32:02 note: this only applies to non-aggresive monsters that you have not attacked (eg. Kulu ya ku, tobi-kadachi, etc.)
