[@mrsanguini5819]

Small note on the Talioth if you didn't notice, but they tend to gang up and latch onto large monsters (with their beaks) while they're engaged in fights. Don't know if they do this by themselves, though. Only seems to happen as you hunt another monster.

[@honeychonav4027]

@@mrsanguini5819 Yeah mechanically they're essentially an environmental trap. But most of their characterization seems to come if you bring an large monster their way. They're pretty brave too willing to even mob Rey Dau. But for now it appears that most of what we'll see from them is as mobbing raptors.

[@GTSE2005]

21:02 I'm not sure if you noticed, but the markings left behind after the lizards stand on their tails seem to resemble a larger animal's footprint. Maybe they use this to trick potential predators into thinking that they are tracking something dangerous?

[@CrabinATopHat]

I love the idea of a hunter whose not actually just there to kill all the monsters but is a legit researcher.

[@skootz24]

I've always liked that you're never _really_ a murderhobo in monster hunter. Even in the older games, hunting a monster was usually either because they were threatening a village or trade route, needed capture for research purposes, or was an existential threat to the entire region's ecosystem. ...Or someone was Hongry so you needed to yoink an egg or two... They've also much more overtly stated in Worlds and now in Wilds that the Hunter's Guild is a research organization first and foremost, with hunters being a relatively small group of specialists kinda like a special forces outfit tasked with supporting the scientists in their mission. On an unrelated but interesting note; Yuya Tokuda, the Lead Designer for Wilds, sincerely loves nature. Even without understanding a single word of Japanese you can just hear his enthusiasm whenever he talks about the nerdy little details surrounding the fictional ecology of the spaces his team create. The man _gets_ it, and it really shows!

[@josefernandez4423]

This is exactly what im looking for. Exploring other parts of the game rather than just combat. Amazing video brother! Looking forward to you exploring the life in the Scarlet forest.

I never knew how much I wanted to watch a thorough, educated tour of a Monster Hunter map. Thanks for all the effort recording and editing this.

[@leilaclarridge5807]

Some personal thoughts: The Doshaguma packs can be interpreted in different ways. The Alpha could be a dominant male and the smaller one to two star individuals are his mates and offspring, while the lone individuals are bachelor males. Or, the Alpha could be a female and the smaller ones are her cubs, with the lone individuals being recently independent adults. Rey Dau, being a flying wyvern, must have adapted to the ecosystem as the ability to influence climate and geography directly is an elder dragon trait. The gem saying that it is "said to" wield the power of storms is just that, it's only said to, meaning that the supposed trait is attributed to it by the people of the setting. The Sandtide must have been going on for a very very long time on account of how deep the fulgerite structures reach underground. The lightning was probably also a lot more powerful in the past, as even Rey Dau doesn't make those sorts of massive structures. Areas 4 and 5 seems to be a Rath nest to me. It's high up and covered in the bones of the mid-sized prey they prefer, telltale signs of their nesting behavior. Rey Dau can be seen up here as well, so I can imagine them getting into fights with Rathian and Rathalos. I wonder if we'll ever see Rath babies? The fish in the oasis probably have seasonal lifecycles like what many real arid climate fish do. While we don't see the oasis change size any during the change of seasons, it probably goes away during longer fallow seasons, so the fish lay eggs that can survive in the pond bed while the fish themselves die. I wonder what causes the sand to turn blue as it melts and solidifies into glass (that's what fulgerite in real life is, it's glass made from desert sand that was hit by lightning)? It must have a very interesting chemical composition.

[@jafartext8229]

It’s possible that the plains close proximity to the scarlet forest, an area that experiences frequent and intense storms, amplifies the frequency and intensity of the sandstorms and associated lightning. And this has been happening for a very long time given the vast, branching fulgurite. This frequent and intense interaction between the two locales makes the fulgurite, which everything in the ecosystem relies on. As for why the monsters and endemic life were acting strange throughout the video, they were bugged unfortunately. I also wanted to add my own speculation for some of the large monsters. Doshaguma’s mane may be for protection, but more specifically protection against themselves. Capcom intentionally made them to seem brutish and savage, and they are also a prevalent and social species, meaning that they probably use their claws and lower tusks to fight each other and other packs of Doshaguma or lone doshagumas. Balahara’s glowing mouth may be for communicating with their own species, making their mouths reminiscent of sarcastic fringe heads in a way, but glowing. Rey dau’s wings having a pattern may either be a trait retained from younger stages of life, or a display feature. Their big fulgurite finger reminds me of steamer ducks, meaning they probably fight each other and other things by “punching” them, if they don’t use the rail gun of course. And speaking of, I think that doshaguma may be a kleptoparasite of other carnivorous monsters, using strength and numbers to overwhelm the opponent. I think that Rey Dau partially evolved electric abilities to intimidate and end conflicts against doshaguma packs with force if needed. I could be wrong about any amount of this, but I think it’s fun speculation.

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

Who would win? 5 doshagumas or a deviljho?

[@jafartext8229]

@ that’s probably a very fair match. They kind of are in a similar idea of a monster done differently. Savage, muscled, and the tenacity and recklessness to strain and pain themselves to even squash the hunter. Doshaguma has a distinct numbers advantage, while deviljho an elemental and size advantage. Honestly should a confrontation start, I think the sheer numbers of Doshaguma would intimidate a deviljho to backing down. But again, I still think this is a fairly even matchup. It’s a shame the capcom really doesn’t give much credit to how influential pack monsters are in encounters against other species.

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

@@jafartext8229 tbh, this is the first time a pack monster where the pack are within their weight limit since most packs monsters before are small minions and large monster. And doshaguma pack could destroy rey dau if it weren’t for rey daus flight and element usage.

[@jafartext8229]

@@marcusaaronliaogo9158 for certain. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rey dau partially evolved into what it is today because of the presence of Doshaguma. Having a looming threat that is beefy, has a numbers advantage, or both would give a selective pressure to evolve ways to avoid conflict from the looming threat as much as possible. In Rey dau’s case it’s flight and being bright and shocking.

[@ThatsOk83]

@@jafartext8229 Imo I don't think it's a fair matchup. I've seen a pack of 4 Doshagumas so going by that they'd tear a Deviljho apart. A single or even 2 is probably not enough to take a Deviljho down tho

[@ENDtredecim]

Maybe the Sandstar has blue coloration because of the consistency of storms that cover this desert area? Cause of how the lightning becomes grounded and can be seen crawling across the sand when it does it could be that the local wildlife avoids that, maybe over time the creature developed that color in order to imitate that crawling lightning so that wherever a threat comes near it begins to dart around and give off an illusion to scare off things trying to eat it?

[@OutofPlaceZoologist]

That's an interesting hypothesis

[@sythrus]

For the boltgem, the key thing to note is that it says, ' _Said_ to wield the power of a thousand storms', as in this is part of local rumour/myth. That, or it could be some sort of storage device for the bolts it ends up taking, and thats how its able to fire off its railcannon and whatnot

[@ekosubandie2094]

Monster Gems in general are just gizzard stone/gastrolith (or kidney stone lol), not exactly unique organ This is pretty much confirmed by the item descriptions from the older games

[@sythrus]

@ ah, sorry, its been a while since i looked into all this stuff

[@Bazel_The_Bombardier]

[@BmacSoundsLab]

Hey man. I love watching nature documentaries personally and I love Monster Hunter World because they have this emphasis on the ecosystem and endemic life. With that said, I love watching these long format of gameplay and commentary observing nature. I look forward for more in the future of Monster Hunter World or Wilds. if you have some planned. Keep up the good work. And happy hunting!

[@eanquest3985]

This is the reason I love MHW so much. The ecosystem is actually pretty well done for a game and I adore it for that. In my time playing wilds I found that the wind wrustlers act almost like pests to the Villagers of Kunafa, Eating scraps and pecking at boxes near the village back entrance. And there is a larger and darker Wind Wrustler that is a pack leader of sorts. Wonderful video and I hope when the full game drops you upload more stuff like this! Helps me cross reference some of my own findings with yours.

[@noodledood12]

20:38 is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Makes it so much more unique that it was probably unintentional and just because of the fact that they were on uneven ground. This is an amazing video so far, btw. I've been looking for a video of someone just going around exploring, and its even better than you are so educated on this subject!!

[@noodledood12]

I have ADD. 10 minute video is typically all I'm gonna sit through but idk man I finished this whole long ass video in just two sittings. Genuinely extremely comfy and enjoyable to watch

[@ArchenOpteryx]

I think the Dark Hornets may be inspired by Cambropachycope, a weird Cambrian arthropod whose head terminates in a single compound eye that looks oddly like a spotlight (which as far as I know didn't actually glow or anything, but still). The Hornets even have stingers that resemble Cambropachycope's telson, too!

[@thereptile9467]

Another possible inspiration for the dark hornet might be the Ipnops, sometimes known as the grideye fish, whose face primarity consists of a flat photosensitive plate lacking the usual ocular lenses found in most animals. Basically a crater for a face that only detects the absence or presence of light without giving any definition of the detail.

[@GameVIPER1397]

Perhaps Wedge beetles are like Namib Desert Beetles and collect water from the air and thats why they are found high up in the winds. The water would collect on the hardened, ridged wing casings like the Namib Desert Beetles. (The Wedge beetles are also in a fixed position and respawn infinitely to allow access to higher areas constantly as they are an environmental mechanic) Balaharas mouth also glows because it has rows of eyes along its gums, probably to help it see clearer in the storm or at night (you can see these eyes very clearly in The Hunters Journey trailer)

The Bulaqchi are seemingly primarily based on Cimicomorpha (assasin bugs) with the way their proboscis fold under their head, and how their described as liquefying their preys insides. The talioths weird mouths do also seem to have a purpose. The use them to hook onto large prey in mass and pull them down.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

They probably don't have much bite force, so they probably have to rely on torque to actually rip out chunks to eat.

[@thereptile9467]

13:41 I can't believe I didn't notice this but look at the entrance to the fulgurite tunnel again: Based by the material surrounding it, the fulgurite carved a hollow straight through sedimentary rock - not sand but actual *solid rock* - that was already there. And not just that, look at the direction that the molten glass is flowing, it's all splashing outward and *away* from the cavern and there's a large pool of it in front where the glass presumably spilled out into and cooled, this suggests that the source of the heat didn't come from the sky, it came from underground. Lighting doesn't do that, lightning doesn't usually strike upward, lightning doesn't have enough power to turn that quantity of stone instantly into liquid glass, lightning doesn't have the kinetic energy to *push* that much molten glass out of the way. Whatever created that cavern, it wasn't a lightning strike.

[@spacegoldfish9481]

yeah, one of my friends pointed it out, whatever made some of the Fulgurite formations in the Plains wasn't "natural" at all, and would've had to have been conducted or caused by something else. what that something is, we have yet to see of course.

@@ekosubandie2094 Artificial, definitely. But for this specific instance I would have to cast doubt on the "manmade" part of that at the very least.

My theory for why there's so much fulgurite and lightning strikes in this desert, the desert itself might be extremely rich in iron metal, so rich in fact that there's "iron sand" amongst the actual sand, this makes this desert a litteral target for lightning strikes

[@kingofflames738]

The lightning rods appear to be manmade as they have actual anchoring you can see below them in some areas like Rey Dau's nest. Additionally, while the large circular structure appears to be natural evidenced by the other one in the distance, that other one doesn't attract lightning or glow, while the one in the plains does do that and has the same markings as the artificial rods on its inside which can be seen from Rey Dau's nest again. The structure was probably modified for some purpose. Given that it attracts lightning and the stones in Rey's nest store lightning energy it was probably modified to absorb and store the energy.

[@greenhydra10]

Geological features don't really form THAT isolated. There would still be *something* of the rock it came from remaining in the immediate area. And all of the angles are far too sharp as well. It would be rough, but not directly vertical with 90 degree angles.

[@kingofflames738]

@greenhydra10 not quite. Uluru for example is just a gigantic rock formation surrounded by flat outback. The shape of the stones also imply volcanic activity which is likely to run below those places. So like Uluru the rest of the formations is buried deep below the sand.

I'm pretty sure the sounds Rey Dao makes are because the sand on it gets turned into fulgarite and scrapes against itself as it moves and breaks. That's also why it would look like the fulgarite on the ground.

1:34 You could always catch it in World. I know because I was looking for Endemic life that way and was surprised to catch bitterbugs and alike that way. It will also automatically turn stuff like flashbugs and hermit crabs into the items they usually give such as flash pod and thorn pod.

I see that you've put the graphics down too, Because all the footage of the beta that i saw showed the game with very bad graphics (at first i was like "i know it's a bete but there's no way capcom would release a beta with graphics that bad") but it turns out, the reason all the footage i saw had bad graphics is because the people recording those footage had to turn down the graphics because the game is litteraly cooking their graphics card.

The amstrigian lifecycle was quite fascinating

[@Chimerathon]

It's cute that you worried about not being able to capture the monogamous pair of lizards together, I would have absolutely done the same even though it doesn't truly matter to an imaginary creature in a game lmao

[@Johnny12Hats]

very cool video, i look forward to seeing more

58:20 what's cool about Talioth is they do not have teeth, instead their beak is highly modified as in pelagornithid birds. Their scales overlap and are very large, significantly different from dinosaur scales and more like those that are modified from feathers. Both of these traits suggest Talioth are actually highly derived birds, whose ancestors were completely feathered and toothless. Also their beaks similar to crossbills could help with processing Ceratonoth carcasses, peeling off plates to get at the flesh beneath. Pretty epic

Expected to learn about critters, ended up learning about everything i missed when I only focused on hunting Rey Dau

[@eternal4651]

Now my question, how do they milk the Dalthydon to make their cheese.

[@kelvintay1803]

really love this series i wish there more for other mh too

34:37 It could be for communication with other members of its species

I found out that if you smack Rey Dau’s wings the blue falls off. It’s actually just fulgurite. And they also lose the metallic rubbing crystals sound while flying too

[@AGREY-p1s]

1:34:40 I think those are fulgarite layers made from lightning. I don’t know much about animals but I think they’re for storing electricity to use later when there isn’t sandtides

I actually had a unique experience with this game's beta and my GPU. I played the beta on the built-in GPU of my computer, and it didn't do so well which I had figured it wouldn't once I saw those PC spec requirements and my lack of VRAM by a margin of 3-4 GB. But then I got a newer (surprisingly cheap for such a great upgrade by the way) GPU that had 8 GB of VRAM and got it put in a few hours before the beta ended and it ran way better and I didn't see any of the horrific polygon monsters anymore. I mean I still had to use upscaling to get optimal fps on the highest settings but I was pretty close to running it decently. If I ran it on medium I probably would be getting 60 fps without upscaling. I have a feeling the Monster Hunter dev team knew that this was going to be a problem and they've already said the game's in a better place so I'm not going to worry right now. I will start to worry if they drop a second demo and it seems like there was only marginal improvements though.
