The Complete Lore of Monster Hunter's Monsters (Season #1)

[@ultra5051]

Bro you gotta do the season 2, the lore videos are so good

[@sparerations6879]

Videos like this are why I love monster hunter, so many fans create masterful works that are hours long. I can’t get enough of monster hunter video essays.

[@AHazyNebula]

I still remember my first time fighting Bazelgeuse... I was hunting a TziTzi, and wondered why the music changed. And then hellfire rained down. What a crazy experience.

[@TheGameleader5000]

my friend had it funnier ... we are hunting together his first high rank barroth ... aka his 2nd or third high rank hunt ... suddenly his screen changed because of a closeup and he was carted Bagel divebombed him so hard that the game didnt even recognize him having seen bagel I laughed way to hard back then PS I was freshly done with shara ishvalda already and helped him

[@blackwidow7804]

Fun fact. Lunastra is the most agresive beast in MHW and the only one which can track you even with the Ghille mantle ON after it spoted you.

[@animeperson6381]

I had my first official fight with Lunesta yesterday and smoked me with the gille on twice bc I thought the first time was a fluke 😅

[@RiceBallFarmerImp15]

Lunastra is annoying

[@cas9007]

And Furious Rajang will pursue you even when you change area

[@blackwidow7804]

@@cas9007 yes but he will stop tracking you after you put ghillie ON, but not Lunastra, she can smell you :D

[@Darfail]

Several monsters sniff me with the mantle

[@Don-ds3dy]

We dont hear much about the wars, economics, or nationalities of the monster hunter world but thats understandable because when theres dinosaurs outside most people probably got their priorities straight.

[@notsae66]

Honestly, a warmonger faction of humans/wyverians causing problems (raids leaving villages open to attacks by monsters, killing people, ect) could be really interesting. Probably best for either a Stories 3 type thing with these guys using captured monsters as mounts, but they could just be releasing drugged up monsters as weapons (would be an interesting enhanced monsters method) to justify having proper MH fights.

[@xhbn2157]

The MH world is pretty united by the guild. There are poachers out there, but iirc the guild has some people dedicated to handling these cases. I imagine village's naturally doing worse than the big cities, but it doesn't seem like people have a reason to go to war with one another and I'd prefer if it stayed that way. Monster Hunter has always been kinda about the idea of a diverse set of people coming together for a greater good.

[@Speaker4theDead]

We need more dinosaurs in today's world

[@SkireWolf488]

​@@xhbn2157 There was a large army that got completely wiped out by a bloodbath diablos i think it was, i think it said the army didn't stand a chance since they weren't trained to hunt monsters, meaning there's likely wars between other kingdoms, but it might not be that often because of monsters and/or the guild

[@xhbn2157]

@@SkireWolf488 where’s that from? I’d love to read up on it.

[@nautilus7098]

A Lore Video about the Hunters would be awesome, since they are not normal humans. And Wyverians are pretty mysterious too.

[@anthonyweston5588]

A moment of silence for all the noobs who have died to nergigantes black spike dive more than anything else.

[@shoobzy3431]

Bro nobody freaking expected it to have a hitbox the size of the earth. I remember the fight and saw it do the obvious wind up before the dive and ran far away but still got fucked lol

[@LegendaryDarkKnight602]

As a GS user, who knew blocking would work.

[@GarlMemory]

As an MH vet that started with MH Freedom 1, this attack's hitboxes triggered some PTSD about Plessy's hipcheck

[@lawnylawnington]

who knew guard 5 + shield HBG would just tank the absolute shit out of it

[@RustyKlowbi]

I just hold block with full hp and stamina with guard 2 pretty much enough to tank it with full hp. ( Gunlance )

That horned nergigante with the body sized mouth was metal as all hell. I love it, you can hear blastbeats while looking at it

[@solaireofastora5999]

I dont know why but when they mentioned that they burned any records of Alatreon. I was thinking that the researchers read them and tried to comprehend such a monster and they went mad in studying how such a monstwr exist and burned it. Dont knkw why i thought of that but Alatreon is a monster to be scared of. Somehow its the dragon that can change elements that scares researchers and not the life force sucking corpse dragon

[@ABIADAB]

because the strongest fear is the fear of the unknown, the researcher has understood how said life sucking dragon can well...suck life, by using small bacterias. while alatreon's power on the other hand is just simply incomprehensible.

[@852paddy]

At this point your channel is just a evolving love letter to Monster Hunter Keep up the awesome work TDS! I'm always looking forward to every new video you drop

[@maddo-hq9jr]

Need to know fact about the Dive Bomb: One of the most recognized pioneers of this technique was an elder dragon called Jimi Hendrix. Only much later other dragons like Dimebag Darell and Nergigante made variations of the dive bomb their own signature move.

[@dhanyl2725]

Jimi Hendricus (some might also call it Jimi/Jimmy Hendrix due to difference in translations) doesn't have wings tho, so it required suitable surroundings to perform said dive bomb

[@fallen4062]

😂

[@LegendaryDarkKnight602]

I know it's a different game but the Storm Bird from the Horizon series also dive bombs.

[@JCTriple7]

Fellow guitar boi

[@ねえ-q2n]

Thanks for the JP translation🥰💓 TDS videos are the best no matter how many times I watch them. I think you'll enjoy it even more if you know about the cultural background of Japan. For example, Bazel's name is similar to ”爆ぜる/Ha-zeru” which means explosion, and Due to the influence of cremation culture, there are many fire-attribute and red monsters(but we learned that blue fire is hotter than red, so Luna, Crimson Bazel, and Safi'jiiva attacks are blue😂). Sorry for my poor English. From Japan with love.

[@hundun5604]

Your English is fine!👌🏻

[@rickn6923]

Speed runners that do stuff I can only do in my crazed monster hunting fever dreams are also Lore Masters?! Bravo sirs and madames!! Love this stuff. Well done indeed.

[@samuelpearson]

Started on MHF2 on PSP, I put over 500 hours on it within 3 months, safe to say, I loved that game, and that love still continues now 17 years strong.

[@joshrakestraw3319]

If anyone is doubting the nature or lore of Fatalis, and that they think it's just another super powerful and aggressive apex monster... consider it's the only monster I know of that graciously licks its chops at the sight of Hunters. 😋

[@Smorccc]

The details on the models fitting the lore makes the world feel so alive and it's amazing!

[@nothingtoseehere309]

I really want the monsters in wilds to be entirely lore accurate, like everything that the lore says about the monster is true and can happen in game. Probably won’t happen but it would be sick.

[@thedolphinlover4859]

ITS FINALLY HERE

[@baddazmother602]

Monster hunter lore videos would be amazing. Especially by TDS

[@stembarx6]

Amazing video, it's great to see you dedication to this series that has brought us so many hours of fun Hope you continue the series, we need this kind of analysis of Valstrax

[@maddo-hq9jr]

Let's gather around the fire and listen to the tales of our fellow hunters from long ago...

[@namerif731]

My headcanon about Ruiner Nergigante is that it hunted a fair amount of Kushala Daora, and it was somehow "infected" by its metal growing feature, but it only affects Nergigantes spikes.

[@Velmari_]

TCS Just randomly decides to enter filmmaking. Love it!

[@bewilder210]

Imagine being xeno, you just born, chillin, tyring to grow up. Suddenly some dudes and gals coming to murder you.

[@Furyheart]

That silhouette of kushala daora in the pouring rain with lightning in the background will never not go hard af.

[@sinteleon]

My tinfoil hat theory about the elder dragon weapon is it actually being an abandoned fully built ahtal ka construct.

[@Lievbaard]

The equal dragon weapon was an early concept from Monster Hunter 1 that was abandoned in the concept phase when the franchise was still finding its stride. It was never canon and never will be.

[@soularklight1649]

So... Nergigante is literally like Orks from Warhammer 40000? Cool!

[@scronchgoose7403]

Whole season, one video? Let’s go Even if I feel bad only listening, this is great to play mario kart wii to

[@Majin_Koolaid]

Nergi Is my favorite. I've always had a head canon where I fight the same Nergigante everytime, regenerated to peak health. Reinforced by the Shara fight.

[@mephisto8644]

Val Hazak the most unique Elder Dragon. I wish they bring him to Wilds + he have the most beautiful armor and weapons imo

[@GTTB-227]

Fatalis is like Saitama from One Punch Man, when other people are using fancy weapons and techniques, he only use bare hands and basic punching and kicking, but he perfected those technique so much that he becomes stronger than anyone else.

[@capycapy8920]

I love how despite being hunted by us, the game makes a point to show that these monsters are all vital to the environment, even the scary zombie dragon, and should be kept in check, not overhunted. There are even people specialized in hunting poachers. There's a cool respect that makes the hunting itself feels deeper than just "yo i want this cool sword"

[@Luv_sicc]

just yesterday i looked up "monster hunter lore" on youtube, and here we are... I love coincidences

[@audrey._.9708]

I've been thinking of my head that I've been waiting to find a video like this and here it is. On a sidenote that is terrifying that my phone seems to always know what I want. Love your video you all did an amazing job

[@NSWSPIRITWOLF]

It knows what you want because you know what you want but don't know that you want what you want while not wanting it as you want it and knowing you want it while you don't want it when you do long explanation short you like lore videos

[@YueYukii]

I love these lore videos. Since world was the only MH most of us new players has seen, learning new things from old is very interesting. I like the idea of monster from world are improved verisons of previous games, making us believe they keep evolving with each new generation. I hope more lore vids comes with wilds. I always waited for Zorah magdaros one

[@EddatheWicca]

cant wait for mh wilds to retcon half this video, like they do every gen it feels like

FYI, the seltas and their queen were the first monsters to coordinate

[@limitlessluckyangel1773]

1:54:39 the black flame was in the new trailer for monster hunter wilds and it matches the description but it doesn’t look like a fatalis.

[@Darkwarp1994]

Actually to say a minor correction which most likely has been said by others nergigante first showed up in the urgent one for the history books which had us attempt to capture zorah magdaros which failed due to nergigante showing up and moped the floor with us and the former ace cadet turned a lister hunter

[@charlesthreatt7096]
