Zorah Magdaros may be the bulkiest monster we've had thus far. Shame that the massive-scale turtle was more of a set piece and plot piece in World than a proper fight.

It was revamped for shara back in iceborne and valstrax in rise. The magalas aren't even that important. Plus if you look you'll see that Nergigante already was the gore skeleton revamped. Look at how Nergis wings sit on his shoulders just like gore's do. They share a skeleton. So the skeleton existing doesn't mean much

It's just the bulk elder skeleton. Actually seems like one of the Devs favourite. Nergi, Xeno, Safi, Magnamalo, they really like using it.

The developers themselves once said in an interview that underwater in 3rd gen just took way too much development resources. Don't think just making the movesets work underwater; think about any movement, physics, mechanics, or orientation in the water at all. For the most part, underwater combat is mechanically closer to a second game than a feature. Also keep in mind they would not be able to use much from 3rd gen because new mh is incredibly different, far beyond what fans of the games understand. I'm sure they could make it fun, but would the tradeoff even be worth it? I'd guess probably not even close for most people.

[@eandlbloodflower6765]

Maybe a few generations in the consoles would allow underwater to return, if they will have enough assets to work with in order to lighten the development of ground fights. If they could develop it, it could probably be one of the main selling points of future MH games -- the inclusion of actual and good underwater combat in a game which is rarely, if ever, tackled.

[@necryphis]

@@eandlbloodflower6765 agreed. It may have been more costly back then, and easier to achieve now. Who knows

[@Going4Broke2528]

Yeah but that was literally over a decade ago, and now they have a bigger, more experienced team, better tech to work with, and presumably a bigger budget allocated by Capcom's higher-ups on account on the success and growth of the franchise following the 5th gen.

[@Grunk369]

@@Going4Broke2528 and? They’ll put that into making a better monster hunter game. On land. No matter what you say, adding an entire underwater mechanic will halve or close to halve how much they can add in terms of monsters.

[@Verminator4]

They had limited success adding underwater combat in 3rd gen even with the relatively simple moveset weapons had back then. Making it work with the much more elaborate movesets weapons now have would take an absurd amount of work and there’s still the risk that it will again not be that fun. It’s just not worth it. I would like to see a return to underwater MH, but in a spinoff with its own mechanics and gear distinct from mainline MH.

I still hope for Ahtal-ka to return in future games. Would be really awesome if capcom make a new area for her, different from the fortress ruins, but with new tools for her to use, even to create a new empress throne with some design changes. But yeah, it's unlikely to happen...

[@gabgalla7403]

I think Ahtal-ka has a chance to return in Sunbreak because although not related, there are two spider monsters there already, meaning the concept of using silk and web is already there, and it wouldn’t be too hard to implement, plus with how crazy Sunbreak is already, a giant bug with a giant mech doesn’t sound too crazy.

[@_Tzer]

if i recall lorewise ahtal-ka designs their mechs after giant monsters they see. So you could quite literally get a lot of things.

[@gamingamalgam1197]

Theoretically I think they could reintroduce underwater combat. And I have an idea as to how they could do it, they could have us sink to the bottom with air tanks so we don’t drown the combat would be almost exactly like fighting ibushi and Narwa but with different monsters. It would still be one hell of a design ask

[@SharpShot501st]

This is a very smart way to do it. I believe I have seen something like this in Runescape as well, so its a smart way to get around doing the insane amount of weapons animations. The other way they could do it would be basically to set up 1 monster hunter game on the current engine where they do underwater and incorporate all the animations at a limited roster, and then they could use that as their stepping stone and port a lot of the animations and stuff into future titles. Sort of how like Elden Ring has a lot of the same skeletons, boss types, and animations from the older games.

[@blockednostril9739]

When they announced espinas for sun break I was reallllly hoping for raviente right at the end for sun breaks siege monster but a las it was not to be

[@Crumbz19]

Gogmazios is still my favorite fight to date. That arena was so well done and just gog himself having old rusted parts on his body, being able to knock off the dragonator on its back to use it against him, having one person bring powder token and hopefully not missing the one window of time to hit. such an epic fight.

[@lasselen9448]

Siege battles are awesome, but it's true Sunbreak doesn't really have one. Although, I'm surprised you didn't mention Sunbreak's final boss fight, which does have limited siege mechanics and a massive monster comparable in size to the 'Jiiva family or Kulve Taroth.

[@BlotsYT]

Under water hunts could come back, but would have to come via the form of a universal hunting method like a specific underwater weapon or an event type hunt where you're in a submergible or something along those lines.

[@legomaster2538]

12:07 Wouldn't Gaismagorm from Sunbreak count as a *massive* Elder Dragon? When observing its size, it appears to be as large as Dire Miralis and Gogmazios. Also, wouldn't Gaismagorm's quest-layout count as a siege?

[@davidbegbie]

The thing is for Dalamadur I had made a compiled list of votes from hunter's choice top monster (variants, deviants, and monsters that were vote split by species were put together into one vote) and Dalamadur ended up in top 20, at 19th place

[@rajangvoljang9241]

Semi Aquatic monsters: Capcom can make Boats a unique way to hunt then using boats similar to Jhen Mohran and Dahren Mohran, if there was a closed area like that with water on it and balissta and and a land and no Swimming mechanic then they will just force us to make use Balista and cannon until the monster comes out for a second phase or something like that.

[@BaronSterling]

Minor distinction, but it's important to note that Ahtal-Ka is not actually an Elder Dragon! Despite being a final boss, it is in fact just a very powerful Neopteron.

[@rayzuke1232]

Not even Powerful, the one we fought was just very lucky that hit the jackpot with its massive Mech. A normal Ahtal-Ka probably is a 3-5 stars monster depending on what it can work with.

How would you get around the swim mechanic and the lore reason why he's in the water

[@ThiccyRicc]

It would be a coastal battle where maybe you used siege weapons to get him out, making it similar to Zora. EXCEPT maybe he would come out of the water and start doing some almudron stuff except larger shifting tectonic plates and spewing magma. Like make him amphibious instead of aquatic so you have a dynamic fight with a variety of phases. He has potential to be a center piece fight

It hurts me so much to think Ahtal-Ka won't return (most likely) Ahtal Ka, ironically, is perfect for Rise, since the silk she uses combines perfectly with the wirebug system And because she is really smart, it blows my mind all the possibilities with an ahtal-ka fight in rise sunbreak Can you imagine an Ahtal Ka riding other monsters? Yes, hilarious but, would be awesome If Ahtal-Ka were added in rise, and still maintain her theme and bring back again the XX proof of a hero (definitely the best, no discussion) it would be a really crazy fight, just see the epicity in Ibushi and Narwa allmother

[@kennethsatria6607]

Ooh sudden idea for Dire Miralis revamp, maybe like Iceborne Fatalis or Safi they could have it so you can only go in the water and attack his body at certain moments when its weakened, like imagine if regularly the water around him would be too hot to be in and you'd take gradual damage as he heats back up.

This was a great video, but I will have to disagree on Ahtal-Ka and Dire Miralis. My counter arguement stems from the fights with Alatreon and Fatalis in World. Those are completely different fights then there originals and I feel the same treatment can be applied to at least these examples, it just requires a new circumstance or situation for both monsters.

[@bakachikan4051]

Ceadeus music is still one of the more epic boss songs. I used to play that music all the time for my son to help him sleep lol. And I want dalamandur back, his weapons are epic

[@MatiNuva1724]

You brought a fire weapon to an underwater fight.

[@jaredlederer2735]

Super mario sunshine has a boss that you fight under water, a giant eel that you have to knock his crusty teeth out. You cant find him on land tho but still that game was insane when I was young

[@WinterJack15]

I was never able to play a Monster Hunter game until World came out, but out of these five monsters you quoted Dire Miralis could be the most likely one that could return because even if on land it feels like a slowed down Fatalis that shoots magma balls; its fight isn't fully under water like Ceadeus (that can't return without the return of under water combat), so Dire Miralis fight could be changed and revamped just like how Fatalis was kinda revamped in the last title update of Iceborne, i think it in this way

[@dragoon2334]

Dalamadur could return too same with the Mohran’s. Zorah could return but as a different version that actually wants to fight us

[@walaceandrade4046]

I like to imagine a modern fight against Dire Miralis like a mixed Siege and Normal fight. Kinda like fighting Fatalis when he is on land and shifting to Siege when he goes into water.

[@WinterJack15]

@@walaceandrade4046 imho that would be annoying and boring, i highly prefer a revamp of Dire Miralis fight and moveset; that would be the best option

[@dragoon2334]

@@walaceandrade4046 I think they should give either a normal battle or a multiple phase one of Miralis. They would have to completely rework him though, we had underwater combat for tri and 3 ultimate most people didn’t like it which is why Capcom have included it in any other MH. At least it made hunting Plesioth much easier and don’t have to sonic bomb him

[@WinterJack15]

@@dragoon2334 i think that a normal fight would be better because a multiple phase would be long and really tiring at the end of the day and no one would ever want to farm Dire Miralis

[@TheSammyAberdeen]

Dalamadur is my favourite monster and I would love to see it return. The verticality problem can also easily be solved with a clutch claw or wirebug, not to mention verticality was already refined with newer entries. I imagine making a fight on that scale would be tricky to pull off on new hardware but it would be such a spectacle.

Ceadus had the best music, And agnaktor had amazing armor set.

[@bobisuncanny2760]

9:59 And this is the only part where i strongly disagree. I know it's obvious, but people got matrixed so hard by this monster that it seems many people forgot. Ahtal-Ka are not born with their mechs, the 2 can be separated. And if you really like the Athal-Ka that much (I don't) I don't think you need the mecha to like the monster. Personally I would love to see the monster again but not as a final boss but as a much weaker monster (3-4 stars taking the Sunbreak base for the GR). For example, in the sandy plains, I think seeing the mantis using its silk to just throw ruins at your face would make sense, plus would be enough. The basis of the monster is not to create a mecha = It is to use its silk and its intelligence to trap and kill you. So on the contrary, I think our favorite mantis has every chance for the next MH but not at all as a final boss (Or that would mean that there are plenty of fortresses with dragonator lying around in the wild, which is not so unlikely after all)

[@rayzuke1232]

yeah we need more Ahtal-Ka fights. Right now it feels like the one piloting the mech was the last of it's kind. There has to be some Ahtal-Ka that fight using the skeleton of dead elder dragons or something like that. For a monster whom's fight can be customized to be virtually anything they sure did not do anything with it.

[@filipevasconcelos4409]

I'm so sad that Lao Shan Lung is probably never going to get a revamp that it deserves. I remember fighting it with a longsword in MHFU, i don't know why, but it's a core memory of mine at this point

[@Mister_Eiffel]

4:05 Sekiro has the Headless bosses that show up both above ground and underwater

[@sonichalo1527]

Sunbreak had a massive monster: Gaismagorm

[@then00brathalos]

i might be the very few who loved Shen gaoren genuinely. Something about a giant crab boss emerging from the mist really scares me and motivate me to fight it. Sad that it only has one major generation appearance and no many people even knew it existed.

[@matthewwilloughby2900]

Mabey rise is yet to show us its 'big' monster. The capcom team does listen to its community and has surprised us in the past, and I know they work tirelessly to provide us the best monhun experience possible.

[@baddragonite]

for underwater, they could do what Guild Wars 2 did and have a few select underwater exclusive weapons as a sort of secondary you switch to when underwater

[@DaviHorner]

This weak they showed they implemented underwater movement, so many people think the DLC will add underwater combat, but seeing they learn how to make leviathans and have underwater exploration I believe we will start seeing fights with Lagiacrus and Ludroth on land again and chase them.

[@chito2701]

MONSTER HUNTER 6 could get an Endgame siege quest that allows Players to Hunt all Final bosses in previous games.

[@onetoughpickl1729]

Never did I think I would see TDS and CR do a sponsor but here we are

[@gourmand3]

Underwater combat returning is a pipe dream, but it would be amazing if they ever decide to try it again. Until then I'll hold out hope for Dalamadur since that is much more likely

[@DangerB0ne]

I'm playing through Rise right now and can safely say I disdain Rampage quests compared to the old siege quests. It's a lot more frantic and I feel like I'm juggling way too many things. What I hate about Rampage is the fact that it locks Ibushi behind a bunch of busywork to get another crack at a Wind Serpent Orb or Claw. It would be one thing if Ibushi dropped a bunch of materials on defeat but he doesn't.

[@flightlesslord2688]

1:39 well thats a fucking cool piece of art.

[@djzekrom]

I'm glad Morudomunto didn't end up on this list, I'm still holding out hope that the Black Crown dragon will return at some point. He has so much potential both as a fight and a plot device, especially given its similarities to Shagrau Magala. I know I'm one of the few people who even know about this elder dragon and the mobile game it came from but I hope, I really hope
