- Another gem of Monster Hunter music is the Kulve Taroth medley from the Monster Hunter World OST . I was actually quite surprised by some of the Monster Hunter music references in it. One of them in particualr is quite puzzling...

I've been having a blast streaming a brand new save file of Monster Hunter World on the gameplay channel! You can watch the playthrough over here: ua-cam.com/video/gs9sw8rVijI/v-deo.html
Hay, Davi Vasc. I absolutely love your videos, and I am also a music artist and lover as well. I have a challenge for you. I have recently made a mash-up for All Souls games. My challenge to you is to see if you can find all of the hidden references I put in that song. I would really appreciate it if you would make a video doing that, but it's your choice. If you do decide to make a video doing this challenge you can do so free for profit. Just make sure you credit me and leave a link to my channel in the description. Thank you so much for everything that you do have a blessed day. Link to the song: ua-cam.com/video/4MVTFPrgdT8/v-deo.htmlsi=dIQD4RFM9_QtMdgE
You should listen to demon prince ost from ds3
You should listen to 〚Pure Furies Whereabouts of the Heart〛
Can you do listen to 〚Pure Furies Whereabouts of the Heart〛next?
I see the similarities to the Astera Theme throughout this song, its almost like this theme and the Astera one has a "question and Answer" between them, with the Astera theme posing the "questions" throughout the game with Kulve Taroth having the "answers" only at the end of the base game
Why colonialism?
Answer: gold
I didnt expect to get a history lesson here xd@@athos9293
21:17 Seems you found the easter egg by the composer lol. They person who made Kulves theme is the same who made Zinogres theme
This is a stacked composer holy cow😊
AT Kulve Fury theme never fails to give me chills! When those choirs really go all out and she climbs the middle pillar to set the fricking ceiling on fire so molten gold rains down on you... beautiful.
AT Kulve doesn't do that, it's the Master Rank one you're talking about
I find the picking out of notes and hints of other themes fascinating, in fact the fact that a thunder related theme comes up and the icey notes appear makes me feel the melodies trying to remind us of Kulves weaknesses, being Main Ice Damage with her coat off. And Thunder does extra chaining damage when she's coated in gold.
HE FINALLY DID IT! I've been waiting for this one. Thanks as always davi
THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING HER GOLDEN MAJESTY'S THEME!!!
I love her theme so much. It gives "Here comes the Golden Queen, be amazed!" at first phase, the second one gives "Don't tempt her, you don't want to make her angry!". Then the third phase is "Too late, she is angry now"
Hands down the most gorgeous and epic set of themes in all Monster Hunter history
I never noticed the Astera reference but you’re right it’s there, I think this is the sneakiest ost reference in Mh ever
The Arch Tempered Fury final phase ost is probably my favorite “holy shit we are fucked” in the series
Both Eruzerion's themes are also epic and gorgeous
As a solo player I've never managed to tackle Kulve Taroth, but she undoubtedly has a top tier theme. Cant waot to see what Wilds has in store for us!
Yeah, being a solo hunter sucks sometimes, especially 'cause of Kulve.
Once you get to G-Rank you can fight Kulve pretty comfortably. She's got an entirely different quest that's separate from the siege there. Her fight still has some wonkiness with the time limit, but her HP and everything is balanced so that you can take her on solo if you want, and I mean it in a realistic way. Not in the "you can take on high rank kulve solo but it'll take you 5 hours for one siege" way.
@@randomnpc445True, MR Kulve was one of the monsters i fought the most
@@randomnpc445from what I’ve heard the same can sadly not be said for Safi lol
@@korokseed1619 unfortunately no. Safi was changed so that his health scales based on players, but it'll still take hours to kill him if you're doing it on your own because of how the siege works.
It does, however, mean that if you join an existing Safi siege lobby, you can run it by yourself every attempt and succeed relatively quickly since the whole lobby is working towards draining the energy of the three areas.
Nice, I was just thinking about you doing this one, and you post it!
The Zinogre part certainly is weird, lol. I think it's just pure coincidence that it happens to be nearly the same melody, though.
But overall, Kulve's theme is awesome! She's sometimes referred to as the "Mother Goddess" in game, which I think the composer did a great job capturing. The strings and high-pitched metallic percussion capture Kulve's beauty from her gold coat, while the organ really sells the "goddess" part of her name, combined with some of the more low and intense parts warning you that there's a more sinister side to this "Mother Goddess." Then, when you incite her fury in the last phase of the Arch-Tempered (or MR) version of the fight, the choirs kick in to show the Goddess' rage.
The music fits perfectly with the gameplay too, especially the last phase. By then, Kulve Taroth has led you to the deepest part of her lair, where the very ceiling to the cave is melting, giving the room a wonderfully ominous and intense lighting, which also looks strangely beautiful when paired with the gold and silver surroundings. The music does a fantastic job of capturing the spectacle of the fight right at this moment. It's just something you have to experience.
zinogre is the original fanged wyvern, the skeleton in which kulve taroth uses, for the longest time zinogre was the ONLY fanged wyvern and when world came out we got an army of brand new fanged wyverns and zinogre was nowhere to be found in the roster. kulve taroth while an elder dragon uses the fanged wyvern skeleton and to me, the zinogre theme snippet being in kulves theme is just a teaser telling us he was in fact coming (which he did in iceborne)
@@TavishburnZinogre's skeleton is different from that of Jagras, Odogaron, and the other Fanged Wyverns in World. Kulve uses the Jagras one, and even shares some attacks with it
@@athos9293 you have it backwards, Odogaron is the odd one out despite being a fanged wyvern it has the aberrant skeleton. jagras and the rest of the world fanged wyverns do in fact have the zinogre skeleton, they are just positioned lower to the ground in order to give off that more 'lizard' look that they wanted for worlds fanged wyvern trio (not including odo)
I love your enthusiasm when analyzing the sounds..Thanks Davi, it's a lot of fun to watch and listen to them, greetings from Germany🧚♀️
Servus, moin, servus
Kulve's phase 2 and fury mode themes are some of my favorites in the series. I remember still vibrating from excitement the day after my first time beating her.
Don't know why Zinogre's theme is in phase 3 though. Leitmotif is pretty common in World, but I'll never understand that one.
I thought it was like an homage to the first fang wyvern since kulve is the first fang wyvern shaped elder.
I think it's because both themes were composed by Tadayoshi Makino hence the similarities
Depending on when you fought Kulve Taroth initially, AT Kulve Taroth actually replaced regular Kulve in the siege, and MR Kulve is regular without phase 1 of the siege. I genuinely didn't know that AT Kulve had a different variation of the theme, but it makes sense now that the version in the OST online never matched up to my memory of the battle. very fascinating to learn about.
My favourite tibit about Kulve vs MR Kulve is that she's almost like the reverse in colouration compared to other AT monsters. Other elder dragons have "muted" colours and their AT forms have the more intense colourations (Teostra looking almost like he's made of rubies in his AT form imo) whereas regular Kulve looks like intense gold, and AT Kulve is more muted and like white gold. Granted the white gold appearance is really striking for AT Kulve, and makes for a beautiful contrast considering her natural form colouring is still intense in comparison to regular elder dragons. Oh also! the vocals in AT (and MR regular) ONLY kick in when you break her horns off. We've taken her golden mantle off and broken her horns. We've almost reduced her from her beautiful almost godly form to that of a rage-filled monster and yet her theme is the most full and deadly sounding.
As for the Zinogre theme appearing somewhat, I'm wondering if it's just the melody progression, or if it was chosen specifically to convey Kulve's sort of change in demeanour. Before, she was just living her life in the caverns, then got irritated and started fighting back properly but still holding back, and then when we break her horns she's prepared to fully fight to the death and unleash her true capabilities.
The fact that Zinogre's theme just shows up has always thrown me off a little bit, like, WHY is it there?! I caught that back in the day and I just figured it might have been a teaser since it was there before Zinogres addition in Iceborne?
Is a little Easter egg, the composer for Kulve Taroth's theme did Zinogre's original theme as well
@@bluehex13x oh fr? Ok thats cute
So many banger songs in this game, thanks for continuing to examine more :)
I absolutely love Kulve Taroth, imo is one of the best monsters introduced with World! I hope I can watch you try and fight her at some point Davi :D
Monster Hunter takes the cake for best soundtracks/themes in my books! They just have so much thought put into them, so many small details from lore, location, abilities, relationships with other monsters, emotions etc. They always do such a good job at portraying how the monsters should make you feel. And the way the music progresses and changes throughout the fight like the last phase is usually more heroic to display that you’re winning. Love MH so much and hope it never loses its spark like a lot of other games have!
Plus they use such a variety of instruments depending on lots of factors that I stated above. This makes every theme so special and unique!
Absolutely one of my favourites!
I love how the music in the final phase syncs up with the monster turning the cave molten, gives me goose bumps every time.
Lets go! Finally we get this absolute masterpiece. Hopefully lots more fights like this one in Wilds!
I think I also heard a little bit of the Ancient Forest theme right before the Zinogre-like part? Might be imagining it, but I was sure I heard it.
I'm just waiting for vaal hazak, I hope that's the next video
Hasn't he done Val yet?

Hello, I used Google Translate first, so the sentences may be a bit strange, but please take it lightly. I'm Japanese, but I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm especially excited to see the reaction to the original Touhou song, which is famous even in Japan. I am looking forward to entrusting the world to my favorite Pure Furies hearts and idols, letting them bloom gracefully, and seeing the reaction of the ink-dyed cherry blossoms one day. I will continue to enjoy watching it, so please do your best!
The closest relationship between kulve and zinogre that i know of is that kulve supposedly have the fanged wyvern body type (like jagras, girros and dodogama), and the father of all fanged wyvern is zinogre. He is the first, and for a short time the only, fanged wyverm to ever designed. So it might imply that kulve evolved from a fanged wyvern ancestor.
I thought that too the first time i heard it (a sucker for zinogre's theme) but its also intense and fits for her rage phase.
It's likely just a coincidence
Thank you so much... really enjoy how you dissect this music. So interesting.
Watched your game channel the other day. Fun...
Great video as always! Glad you finally broke down Kulve Taroth music. I love the gorgeous and epic vibe of this theme. When you noticed the Astera theme, I couldn't help but squeal. I knew you wouldn't miss it. Thanks for the video, Davi.
i just now found your channel, i really love the videos, because i myself love videogame soundtracks/OSTs a lot. As a massive Kingdom Hearts fan myself i wondered if you know about the GREATNESS of Yoko Shimomuras Soundtracks for Kingdom Hearts, i would love to see you break it down! I highly recommend Fragments of Sorrow, The 13th Struggle or Fields of Honor! Just the detailing in the melody and the harmony switching from time to time is so dynamic and awesome!
Your best analysis yet! Great find with that Zinogre motif.
Hey Davi. 😊 I would like to thank you for your great videos. I'm so glad that UA-cam recommended your videos to me. I love video game music and have learned so much from your videos. I hear the music differently now. You are such a heartwarming guy. Please keep it up. Greetings from Germany. Sarah ✌😊
Some big monster themes do refer to the town theme, it is kind of a tradition in the series. I hope they do continue it
She has a wide variety of songs, as if a whole movie were prepared for her!
I think she is the only monster who has been so blessed!
You should consider taking a listen to JDK Falcoms's library, they composed primarily for the YS and Kiseki series and have a truly astonishing amount of bangers. "Silver Will" "Azure Arbitrator" and "Blue Destination" are some of their more well known slam dunks.
I guess they added the Zinogre theme to the Arch Tempered version to tease the release of Zinogre with the Iceborne expansion.
Keep in mind that AT Kulve was released when Iceborne released.
The Zinogre leitmotif was 100% Capcom trying to tease us his appearance in Iceborne
I was just rewatching your old Monster Hunter reactions and then this popped up. Great timing!
You 100% gotta do Vaal Hazak
Bro was losing his mind. But finally, kulve. I'm so happy, hands down my fav song and monster from base world.
LET’S GOOO. MY FAVORITE!!!!!
The song intro literally means: "hey we are hunters, and we know there is a mysterious ancient and elder dragon." and then when Kulve appears she shows her elegance and royal-like appearance 👑👑👑👑
Thanks Davi for taking a look, I was excited for this one. I'm gussing the first phase is so quiet and only loud and aggressive in short bursts because Kulve herself is pretty much ignoring you for this part of the fight, only doing a hit to scare you away when upset enough before she continues her patrol
Also I didn't notice the Astera references in there. I love how the beautiful the theme is, it really drives home how incredible it is to see Kulve and her glistening golden coat
Wonder what the Zinogre theme is about either it's to hint at Kulve's lightning weakness (though that doesn't make much sense this far into the fight). What's more likely is they were hinting at Iceborne with this and the icy piano. Pretty sure they were far into Iceborne dev at that point to be like 90% done
So much hidden details and references we love to see it thanks davi
I have a musical request for you davi to do on your video which can be a small video series on your chanel listen to the duel music
(Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel BGM - Complete Theme #2) this video separates the evolution of this music theme in the correct order
first part, the start of the duel
the second part, something important has just appeared (a boss)
and for the last part, triggers if someone can lose duel if they don't do anything now
today there are 18 different total musical themes to listen to so I hope that it will become a series on this Chanel
UGHHH i cant with the final phase theme of Kulve its sooo gooooddd. It does rlly make me wanna recommend Shantien for you
"Tales Spun through Song", the credits theme of Iceborne is also very good. Not an action theme of course, but worth a listen.
YEAHHHHHHH BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Hearing the final phase theme in game is an experience. Fighting against the clock with that beautiful but fierce music cheering you on as molten gold is raining from above. Those skilled enough will also be rewarded with the satisfaction of the special quest clear theme that follows
I'm happy you noticed the Zinogre in her theme, I was so happy when I heard that, thinking it was foreshadowing for Zino in Iceborne, and I guess it was
I love the 2nd phase music. Always gives me chills
I think the zinogre theme is just a case of a composer using the same harmonic/ melodic language of their style in multiple themes without intentionally doing it
I'll ask it here : is it possible to compare arch-tempered version of monster with the normal version of it.
The Arch-Tempered versions feel so different from the classic versions that I find myself trying to reconize part when I'm lisntening at the AT themes.
For exemple when you fight for the first time an Arch-tempered Nergigante, you expect the restless theme that we knew until now. But then a totally different theme come, heavier, epicness with Stars at our back parts and more stressful moments too. But, it's still Nergigante and you kinda ear it.
Apart from my request, thank you for the videos ang happy new year !
Whaaaat??!! I was just thinking about how this is one of my favourite themes from mh and then you post this
IIRC the Zinogre flair in the Kulve Medley is due to having the same composer writing the themes.
First, recommendation (always waiting for Blasphemous): 'Alexander' from The last Door (The Game Kitchen). Seriously, the Last Door's soundtrack is beautiful, I love Carlos Viola.
About the video: The Kulve Taroth melody is cool, the rest of the track I don't know, it's weird for me, but yes I can recognize the Astera theme at least😁! Well, about the references to Iceborne, I don't know, because I have never played MH, but if this monster is at "the end" of the base game and Iceborne is a DLC after that that part that could be the connection? I don't know. Also, the monster and the fight seems a bit weird.
That's it.¡Adiós Davi!
I think you'd enjoy dissecting morudomunto's theme, a monster from mh explore
finally you get up to the best track from world
Wooooo you are right!!! It sounds like Astera song!
Kulve Taroth first theme is like she's is just exploring the caves while wearing her fancy gold dress very pretty.
Second Phase is like alright you want to fight me? Fine bring it on!
Third Phase you enraged her and it's either you or her! God when I first heard the Arch tempered fury theme 😳 almost pooped my pants! That intro of the music sends chills down my spine.
Thank you Davi Vasc for letting us know things we didn't noticed on the themes! 😁
15:22 This BLEW MY MIND. I've listened to KT's themes a million times and I never made that connection!
The kulve phase 3 theme is one of my favorite of monster hunter world ❤
can you make "Finale" from undertale.
i don't know how much time i watched your asgore video it gives me really super vibe and i wanna see you making finale too
I'd love to see you react to Ultimate White Fatalis OST from Frontier
Good Video! If i had to give a suggestion, it would be the apex theme from monster hunter rise
You should definitely look up Crypt of the Necrodancer soundtrack, it's composed by Danny Baranowsky.
I'm wondering if the zinogre motif is based on both kulve and zinogre using the same base skeleton? bit of out there theory but I really couldn't think of any other reason for it to be there
I can't get the scene where KT Pole Dancing out of my head whenever I hear this theme.
FINALLY, i waited for this monster react for 4 years
can't be happier for an analysis of these masterpieces
just one note.. the theme you called "phase 3" of non AT is not the theme that plays in area 3
that theme is played when kulve enters area 4 (in the siege there are 4 areas) and some gameplay factors will decide if the theme will remain as "phase 3" (like you called it) or will switch to its arch tempered variation with the choir
It might be a far reach, but to try to explain the Zinogre part, maybe it's because Kulve has one of its signature moves, which is stomping suddenly with one of her front paws... yeah kind of weak explanation.
The strangest thing I noticed is one of MHDos OST seems to contain a part of Kulve melody... At least the part that plays in hub when Kulve is available as siege. It's in the OST named "Desiring Flame in the Land of the Beasts" around 48 seconds in.
Finally Kulve Taroth breakdown! I love these themes, easily some of my favourite from the franchise
Dude you gotta do …con lentitude poderosa from risk of rain two. It’s an awesome track
Flashbang doing flashbang things lmao
I was thinking about it the other day... kulve taroth theme having the zinogre leitmotif is so weird... my only guess its that, they are related on some evolutionary level... when she takes off the gold mantle, it does have the same body type, so thats why im guessing that... but overall they are so different from each other right?
Don't all Elder Dragons share the same common ancestor? Because they all have the same blood and bone composition
@@athos9293well zinogre is not an elder dragon
I know this comes out of nowhere but did you ever make a reaction for “To Sail Forbidden Seas” from FFXVI?
You should 100% try listening to the terraria calamity mod sound track! I always play that game with my music volume super high lol!
Kulve theme be like
🎶 I get knocked down
Then I get up again 🎵
Honestly my best guess at the Zinogre connection is that he’s the progenitor of the fanged wyvern class, which world was the first to finally expand on. Kulve Taroth obviously isn’t a part of them, but does share a skeleton and some animations alongside some. Maybe since fanged wyverns finally got some love they put it in her theme?
I think it might be because shes weak to thunder at some points
I mean, considering she's built like a fanged wyvern, elder dragon or not it still makes her a fanged wyvern, no? Just that she's powerful enough to be classified an elder dragon
@@VetrDraugr yeah its the same with dalamadur although you said elder dragon is to do with power but its actually just if they know how it is able to exist and fit in how it does in the ecosystems they are found in like for example kulu ya ku wouldve been an elder dragon if they didnt know how its existence worked
Kulve Taroth is a cool and gorgeous monster to fight, with each phase getting more and more intense. My problem with her (and Safi'Jiva) is that they're siege fights. Meaning you have to get an entire lobby of 16 players on board doing it at once and on pace. Which brings in more complications one way or another if a group is off enough (or even non existent). Kulve atleast got a master rank quest that threw the siege mechanic in the dumpster, and was all the better for it.
I can't get enough of mhw, I play it everyday and today you made my day Davi, thank you❤
Great video! I can't help but wonder if the "Zinogre part" of the theme is in part due to kulve using a fanged wyvern skeleton for its model (therefore the jagras->great jagras->greatest jagras->kulve tarroth jokes), with Zinogre being the first (and only along with sygian until fifth gen) fanged wyvern. That's my first thought when I hear the Zinogre theme at least.
It would be super cool if you could check out "The One Reborn" from Bloodborne. It has one of the best "drops" in the souls series in my opinion, and you can almost picture what the boss looks like by listening to the song. Really underrated
You love to see it.
I am so happy you're back to mhw
Give Namielle a listen, I think it's a pretty cool piece.
My favorite hunt in all of Monster Hunter, and damn if the music isn't part of it
Kulve taroth them gives me that indiana jones or lara croft vibes to it.
Please PLEASEEEE do a react of the Yian Garuga theme from Iceborne, it's my favorite monster and the song is so crazy like him! Would lov to see i
Would it be weird to ask him to react to fan game music? Because bro, I really want to see him react to "A Mothers Love" from Undertale Yellow
Please do some videos on the OST of Terraria Calamity by DM Dokuro 🥺🙏
try doing a song from the new game ''Undertale Yellow''.
Here are a few options:
1-Guns Blazing
2-A Mother's Love
3-Trial By Fury
4-Retribution
5-Forlorn.
I would love to see you react to these amazing songs.
You should really react to shantiens theme
15:33 I swear I heard the Duloc song from Shrek.
Please listen to slave knight gael ost. Hands down the best track from any souls game
If you want any recommendations then please let me request Shadowlord from NieR Replicant. A beautiful theme indeed
Also i hear a bit of Safi'ji them in there too
You need to do roar of the jungle dragon from the terraria calamity mod
13 sentinels aegis rim というゲームのBGM -[DEOXYRIBOSE]-のレビューをお願いしたいです！
16分音符の細かい４つ打ちで構成された曲で、アッパーハイテンションな素晴らしいBGMです。
I would like to request a review of the BGM -[DEOXYRIBOSE]- for a game called 13 sentinels aegis rim!
It is a wonderful BGM with upper high tension, consisting of a fine Four on the floor with 16th notes.
Do Great Grey Wolf Sif from Dark Souls!
I feel like the Zinogre melody may just be a coincidence BUt Zinorge and Kulve do share some skeleton similarities (even tho kulve is an elder dragon)
I never played MH world but music like this makes me wish I did.
So why don't you? If you don't have the means to do so, i'm sure there are other Monster Hunter games that your hardware can run
素敵な曲ですよね😊いつか是非私の好きなゲームのFGOの音楽も聴いて欲しいです！😆
Request to Listen Please!

I've never noticed how it's straight up Zinogre's theme lol
I wonder why, can't think of an explanation
It's Kulve Taroth's lmao, by this logic we can also conclude that Kulve is straight up Great Jagras because they share the same skeleton
@@athos9293 but the skeleton comes from a technical / efficiency limitation. The music is a conscious artistic decision
I love the increasing tension from the fight. At first she’s not actively fighting you. Then she’s pissed and it’s time to swat these annoying bugs. In the final phase, and especially when the vocals kick in, she’s FURIOUS and it’s time for you to DIE.
