I love how this theme is reminding everyone that Fatalis is the sendoff of the whole game (World/Iceborne). But Velkhana is ICEBORNE's farewell fight, like it's right for it to be.
I like how this is Velkhana theme, mashed up with all the key Iceborne themes in order, while storyline ending theme notes play almost though the entirety of it. This is it. This is the "farewell" fight of Iceborne, and the last memory to remember it by.
@@oeeo6thealatreon118 To top it all off, the fact that Velk is not only the Iceborne flagship (like Nerg was with baseworld) and got a unique theme like Nerg, it seems very likely that this is the last AT monster. A shame, really, because I would have loved to see AT versions of all T3s, including the non-elder ones. Seething, Savage, Stygian, and Raging all deserved better.
My heart goes out to this poor dragon. Outdone by Shira ishvalda for the plot, and ruiner steals the show at the end. And now with the final update the AT version is finally coming, only for fatalis and alatreon to distract hunters from fighting it. You deserved much more, my icy friend.
I figured you would say something like that which is why my response will simply be. To not sit on it for full health and simply try and move as much as possible within the general area of the health booster! Works for me.
Uhh after Fatalis who are you again? Oh I remember you that monster I couldn't kill in 15 minutes in the beta. Looks ominously at AT Velkhana Want to try the 15 minute hunt again I assure the outcome will be extremely different.

Velkhana is one of the most underrated monsters. After the beta everyone forgot about it and that's sad because it's technically a flagship monster of iceborne
I think both Seregios and Velkhana are great designs, but they do indeed suffer from the same problem: They are overshadowed by the flagship of the base game and don’t have enough instant “cool” factor to compensate. Like Seregios feels more like a regular monster than a flagship, and Velkhana is another Elder Dragon in a game full of cool Elder Dragon designs.

Glad Wilds is going to be based on World and not Rise. For me, Rise was a step back in terms of maps and music. Also prefer Clutch claw over Wire bugs.
I actually cried when I finally finished AT Velkhana's quest, because I know we won't be getting a game like World/Iceborne for a very, very long time. Such a great game.
AT Velkhana froze the door, crashed through it, and came to remind everyone where Iceborne got its name from. Even with full Fatalis armor and the most optimized set for damage possible, if your not positioned correctly, you’ll be turned into a popsicle in no time flat.
The bastard forced me to cut Glavenus tail twice for the LS, she was annoying as heck. and yet her face for somehow reason gives me the feeling of a caring mother, while it being a maniac stabber.
This dragons kick my ass so hard during beta that i consider him my arch rival throught the game. Now, with fatalis met his fate yesterday. Our last battle will be legendary
Once we slay AT Velkhana that's it, the send-off of Monster Hunter World and Iceborne. It has been an honor, Hunters, happy hunting! Edit: So first, great to see so many passionate hunters, second I am very much aware AT Velkhana might not be the end, but as it stands Vel and possibly Safi are the last monsters, events will continue, I never said they wouldn’t. Anywho, good hunting against AT Velkhana she freaking tough! 🗡
I would love if they had their normal themes for the first half of the battle, and the arch tempered themes upon entering rage mode the first time under 50%.
This quest and music is essentially Velkhana inviting you to a final showdown, the last duel as if enticing you asking to show how much you’ve grown as a hunter in this glorious battle. I’ve always loved Velkhana and sad they were never more important to the plot, but appreciated nonetheless.
I honestly really love this monster and fighting it is really fun, it’s too bad it easily gets overshadowed by Fatalis and Alatreon, I had to farm Velkhana for crystals and enjoyed every second of fighting it. Velkhana truly deserves more recognition from the community.
It’s odd seeing regular Velkhana being added this late in the game’s life. It’d be neat if they added a “second” phase to the fight to increase the challenge. It would give them a good reason to reuse this theme, too.
AT Velkhana is basically saying, “WE aren’t done yet, WE have one last hunt. So let us end it ALL” To put things into perspective, AT Velkhana came after Fatalis in the timeline, meaning if these AT hunts are in any way canon then we don’t know if the hunters survive THIS hunt.
Music is good but the fight is annoying Also my Top 3 are: 1.Gore Magala 2.Glavenus 3.Valstrax My Worst ones are: 1.Brachydios 2.Narcaguga 3.Kushala daora
I hope they still decide to put in AT Blackveil and AT Ruiner Regardless tho, it has been one hell of a ride through this game and I'm thoroughly hyped for the next installment that is Rise. MHW will always be my most hyped game franchise introduction, and I'm glad to be a part of the MH community.
This fight is poetry. After soloing Alatreon and Fatalis, I felt like I’d won. I felt that I was well equipped and skilled enough to take on anything in the game, and realistically I was. I finally decided to try out this quest and man, the first few notes of the music really showed me that this was more than I had expected. It wasn’t long before I started noticing how tough this was going to be, and more importantly that despite everything beforehand I was still imminently in danger. But I won, with two minutes on the clock and with a heart rate the game hadn’t made me feel since Fatalis. One last dance at the place where Winter sleeps.
This music fills me with motivation. I have come a long way since starting MHW, and become an expert a number of weapon types and adept in the rest. The one I started with and mained all the way through base MHW was my bow, and it holds a special place in my heart. When AT Velkhana reveals herself, I will pick up my bow once more, and end MHW the way I began it. One final challenge.
@@caesarthemonkey2488 It has proven more difficult than I anticipated, though I am inclined to believe it is my teammates fainting constantly that are limiting me. That, and elderseal seems to only be going off once in the beginning of the fight and failing to proc again thereafter. Still a very fun fight for me
Normal Velkhana : Sword dance-off with a creature elegant and lethal as the winter Arch-Tempered Velkhana : "This. Is. The. Last. And. The. Emperor. Of. Iceborne."
Velkhana's theme is definitely drawing inspiration from Mars of Holst's Planets. You can hear the iconic rhythm in the cellos, and also some bits of the brass parts are really reminiscent of the brass part in Mars.
I just love the themes from AT Velkhana and AT Nergigante. Both inspire the hunter and represent the monster completely. But what I like the most is the real difference between the two: AT Nergi theme basically says in your face: “This is my world, this is my game, no stupid shit. Face me if you can, because I'll punch your face really hard” This theme talk about a really challenge, between Nergi and the Hunter, an brutal battle, just like the elder dragon it represents. But AT Velkhana's theme says something completely different. It's graceful and cold, but it's also reminiscent of memories, fights, monsters, and even dialogue all your way through, not just Iceborne, but the entire game. The fight is a beautiful memory, where both try their best not to be forgotten. And at the end of the fight, the theme also says something else, as does Velkhana himself: “Don't forgive me. Don't forgive your journey.” Capcom made a beautiful work.
Looking at the trailer, it definitely looks like they pulled some cues from AT Velkhana, which has me plenty hyped for the silver sovereign to make its return.
I so badly wish I was good at animation I always make up scenes in my head for songs and other media that play out like movies, and this is no exception I just don’t have the capacity to animate well (or the time [or the stuff needed]) Example: hunter sits with Velkhana for a bit, reminiscing with them. After realizing they’ve been rambling, the hunter stands and says “...May I have this dance?” and bows before Velkhana. Velkhana accepts, they take their positions at 0:00-0:12, and the battle begins
@@caesarthemonkey2488Elders are smart, I imagine that seeing a hunter bowing in front of it and unsheating the sword would be enough for Velkhana to understand.
I must have listened to this a hundred times! The devs put so much love into world/iceborne, the fact they even remixed monsters themes at all shows the level of commitment they had to the game and the amount of hours us hunters put in shows just how much we love iceborne and world! Thanks again for posting this
@@Antarctide During the MH Orchestra concert livestream, the description for Velkhana's theme says that is was composed with the idea "if Nergigante is a king, then Velkhana is the queen".
Draw 2Death they all do its just finding what or where it is. From modding the game myself adding AT Nergi theme to replace the normal one I had to do some digging around to find it.
It was fun fighting tbe ice queen, getting stuck on her hunt for a bit and then finally ending it. Shes definitely a fun fight, and I love her design too.
I was gonna comment that I just want the piano part to loop indefinitely but thankfully my brain has already taken care to play it over and over in my head :)
I really do like the additional flutes, piano notes and atmospheric moans put into this one. It gives it a bit of a reminiscent edge to go nicely with the end of World.
Did u knew That they went very detailed on Velkhana The first one was Nergigante But they went a extra mile with Velkhana From grabbing a lot of sounds of ice and crusts breaking To actually recording how ice break and explodes and even grows. How it will grow on Velkhana For me My favorite element is ice And seeing how deep and beyond they went with iceborne
I don't know how to describe it but this theme sounds like if the sound itself is freezing but struggling to beat the cold and keep going, it's just magical
1:19-1:37 the final moments of the New World, as the icebloom melts and snowflakes shatter 1:37-2:02 Velkhana: "Time is running out Hunter, your next hunts await. Be prepared and be on your way, of course after paying your due respects to ME. Show me the skills that conquered my Hinterlands"
Seeing the small clip we got this AT monster will have a lot more changes that previous ones and i wonder if they will make me cart as much as fatalis, probably not but this final challenge will be one im gonna have fun with.
I'm actually having withdrawals after 2k glorious swag axe hours spent on mhw/iceborne 😭 somebody invent a machine that wipes select memories so I can go back and experience the best few years I've ever had gaming again........
The final battle against the Ice Queen, ending the game that got me into the series as a whole. Im looking forward to this as a grand finale to my favorite game of all time
My friends and I hated Velkhana at first. But as the hunt went on she too grew onto us. The majesty she presents and the beauty of her icy attacks. She's a wonderful flagship. I have yet to battle Arch...but I look forward to one last dance in the New World. She awaits at Elders Recess from what I can tell...same as where she was first met.
Something people forget about: Barring multi element elders. Velkhana is the strongest ice element elder as kushala does wind it just so happens to use wind on ice usually giving it icy properties.
I don’t know why people say Velkhana is overshadowed. Velkhana started the whole freakin adventure for Iceborne. Her armor is extremely good, and I spent a lot of time fighting many battles with her. Finished fighting AT Velkhana last night and man they did her justice. Such a fun fight

Wut? I didn't even know her theme was here. The wait is no longer here thanks man!
Loop it homie
"her"
@@Antarctide During the MH Orchestra concert livestream, the description for Velkhana's theme says that is was composed with the idea "if Nergigante is a king, then Velkhana is the queen".

Frozen hedgehog with stabby tail confirmed?
@@DexFire1115 please.. dont put that image into my head-
I feel so much nostalgia from listening to this already ;-; thank you Iceborne for paving the way to more top tier monster hunter games to come next
God, I hope there is a mount theme of this.
There is somewhere its just they don't name them all easy so its a matter of trying to find her somewhere in the hundreds of audio files
Well At Nergigante had a mount theme
Draw 2Death they all do its just finding what or where it is. From modding the game myself adding AT Nergi theme to replace the normal one I had to do some digging around to find it.
There is
I absolutely love this monster, my favourite elder to fight ever.
Wow this theme really exceeded my expectations. Very regal, elegant, nostalgic and like a perfect farewell/send-off

“Now i aint messin’ wit u no more.....”
Nyxxose I agree with you
I'd rather tame her than fight her. I mean, why not?
@@nicolasaguilar8659 would be worth it
1:37 this part gives me chill, man
1:20 give me faith! That orchestral part is so magic
It was fun fighting tbe ice queen, getting stuck on her hunt for a bit and then finally ending it. Shes definitely a fun fight, and I love her design too.
I was gonna comment that I just want the piano part to loop indefinitely but thankfully my brain has already taken care to play it over and over in my head :)
This is so cold that it has reached quantum critical, you can hear electrons
This is such a step up from her regular theme
You never fail to deliver sir Michael
I really do like the additional flutes, piano notes and atmospheric moans put into this one. It gives it a bit of a reminiscent edge to go nicely with the end of World.
Here we go again- let the shit snow begin
You better have your gear at lvl 20, and you better eat for elemental defense. Wanna know why? Oh you'll find out soon enough.
Iceborne's End, Made me cry when I realized it was over but i'm excited to ride Velkhana into battle in Wings of Ruin
I still soloing this AT Velkhana everyday never get bored, my favorite monster.
Shara ? Safi ? Alatreon ? Fatalis ?
Yes , they are very powerful monsters
but the final enemy always has to be the flagship monster
My ranking on Velkhanas difficulty goes:
1st. AT Velkhana
2nd. Hazard Velkhana
3rd. Sunbreak Velkhana
4th. Iceborne Velkhana
The best theme for Velkhana out of the 4 variations.
I know about main theme, elders recess repel theme and this one. What's the fourth one

Did u knew
That they went very detailed on Velkhana
The first one was Nergigante
But they went a extra mile with Velkhana
From grabbing a lot of sounds of ice and crusts breaking
To actually recording how ice break and explodes and even grows.
How it will grow on Velkhana
For me
My favorite element is ice
And seeing how deep and beyond they went with iceborne
I don't know how to describe it but this theme sounds like if the sound itself is freezing but struggling to beat the cold and keep going, it's just magical
Came back after a while, when I first fought Vel, I died 30 times and gave up but I got this chick down solo now, yay
Very imposing, but in a refined manner.
1:19-1:37 the final moments of the New World, as the icebloom melts and snowflakes shatter
1:37-2:02 Velkhana: "Time is running out Hunter, your next hunts await. Be prepared and be on your way, of course after paying your due respects to ME. Show me the skills that conquered my Hinterlands"
Seeing the small clip we got this AT monster will have a lot more changes that previous ones and i wonder if they will make me cart as much as fatalis, probably not but this final challenge will be one im gonna have fun with.
Now I can fight Velkhana in Sunbreak!😌
This is...
This is beautiful...
I'm actually having withdrawals after 2k glorious swag axe hours spent on mhw/iceborne 😭 somebody invent a machine that wipes select memories so I can go back and experience the best few years I've ever had gaming again........
I wish bro
The final battle against the Ice Queen, ending the game that got me into the series as a whole. Im looking forward to this as a grand finale to my favorite game of all time
1:37 i don't know i feel a feeling with my favorite Final fantasy (the 13 and don't care if u hate it its my favorite)
Cloud wants to know your location.
It’s my favourite part and yes it reminds me of FF13
Which song
AT Velkhana is a masterpiece. I love this monster. My favorite in the whole game
Am I the only one who thought this was actually the hardest fight ever in MHW
Remember Velkhana fighting at the armory?
This is the final spot, for Velkhana, for Iceborne, for you hunter.
My friends and I hated Velkhana at first. But as the hunt went on she too grew onto us. The majesty she presents and the beauty of her icy attacks. She's a wonderful flagship. I have yet to battle Arch...but I look forward to one last dance in the New World. She awaits at Elders Recess from what I can tell...same as where she was first met.
My new fav monster themes. Velkhana is my second fav elder Dragon. 1st is tied between valstrax and shagaru
AT Velkhana's theme feels worthy of a final boss. Truly fitting for what AT velky represents
Velkana was the monster that made me realise that the dragons arent just stupid creatures.
this song ends iceborn so well....
Sounds right out of Kingdom Hearts.
Something people forget about: Barring multi element elders. Velkhana is the strongest ice element elder as kushala does wind it just so happens to use wind on ice usually giving it icy properties.
this sounds like a sinister version of "nay the honours all ours"
oh my gog this theme is beautiful! This is all I ever wanted after Iceborne launched and it's finally here!
This is such a fun and intense fight.
I think I never loved a game more than this one.
Take on Velkhana many times back to the release of icebourne, still one of my favourite dragon
I don’t know why people say Velkhana is overshadowed. Velkhana started the whole freakin adventure for Iceborne. Her armor is extremely good, and I spent a lot of time fighting many battles with her. Finished fighting AT Velkhana last night and man they did her justice. Such a fun fight
My charge blade is waiting for the ice dragon, I cant wait for this one
holy shit this song is a banger
A great theme for the main series's first true Ice elder dragon, and a challenge that rivals the black dragons
when velkhana gets a variant i hope it plays this theme or atleast a revision of this theme
Maybe the last Update in June also adds a suprise Risen Velkhana.
