“Cat Friend” has saved our asses so much he deserves a rack of medals.
…make that two.
One of the things I love about Monster Hunter World is that your hunter's mannerisms sorta change as time goes on. They become less cautious and more badass. By the time Iceborne comes around your hunter barely even reacts to monsters and just stares them down like "Yeah, I can take ‘em." Also Kit, you in fact pronounced each and every name wrong. I am not joking.
This is actually really cool. One of those somewhat subtle details, but MAN does it really increase the role play immersion factor
Until you get to fatalis and the hunter is insanely nervous, i love that detail
@@macvadda2318 kinda hard to be confident in the face of a creature that literally sent civilization back to the stone age.
@@AshRain-nu3vz not even the stone age straigt up deleted from existence
@@AshRain-nu3vz remember, castle schrade is what's left of the entire schrade kingdom after fatalis hit them...
The little cat is a Palico, they are a race of well... little cat people called Felynes. Palico is a job for them where the assist hunters.
The best part about these intros is they happen right before you're thrown into the gameplay fighting these things, so you're watching this thinking "And I gotta figure out how to kill that?"
Monster turf war/ Monster vs Monster is my favourite feature of this game, it just makes the world feels more alive
4:03 hunters didn't speak until the monster hunter rise. I think that's why the girl (handler) was introduced, so you can have some actual dialogue going on in a more cinematic and story focused game.
Edit: as for the basic lore of monster hunter. There are these guys called hunters (your character and pretty much anyone with a big weapon) and they hunt monsters and are part of the Quild. Usually the hunting happens because certain monsters are causing some kind of a ruckus, be it threatening your village, cause disturbances in ecology, some kid thought a skull of a barioth would look neat. MH:World specifically focuses on research off a new island, or new world, if you will. Iceborne is after world and is first set in motion when Legiana start to migrate to a new place, which is the snow place in the video.
Now, as for not story stuff, the monsters are basically just animals. Most of them are classified as some type of a wyvern (even though half don't really fit the classic description of a wyvern), fanged beasts or one really specific case of Gore Magala. Then there is the elder dragons, this is a category of monsters that the people of monster hunter can't really explain. While a lot lesser monsters do wield elements like fire and thunder, the Quild can explain these things naturally. But, elder dragons haven't been able to be researched, due to their rarity and general nonsensical nature of their existence. This is why there's an unicorn and other not really traditional western dragons in this class, and is also the reason why gore magala really should be an elder dragon (fight me lore nerds, you know I'm right).
There's also this another race of people called wyverians. They're mostly like normal people, but instead have elf ears, three fingers and digitagrade feet. Also they were the original hunters, but decided to become nerds, also they live longer than humans. They're the source of the spiritual/mystical parts of the games.
Edit edit: there's this side series called monster hunter stories and in that series people called 'riders' are introduced, these guys are less focused on hunting monsters and are doing more of a pokemon type of thing. Riders can obviously ride their monsties (yes, that's what they call them. I think they're supposed to be younger versions of the actual monsters), and are focused on making bonds with them. Canonicity is dubious.
As for how people can exist in this world, the game series is all about the absurd. Mere humans can swing swords impossible to swing without mechanical tools, you can grill in the middle of a fight, a fire ball annihilating everything in it's path just makes your character faint and get rolled to the nearest camp by a bunch of cats. You don't really want to think the actual logistics, embrace the absurd and join us in our path to hunt ever stronger monsters.
@@DissedRedEngie It's been also explained that the humans in the MH universe are descendants of genetically modified super soldiers, created by the Ancient Civilization specifically to fight Elder Dragons. That's why they can wield those huge weapons with ease, jump from insane heights and survive all those attacks.
Which also kinda explains how and why the Hunters eat so much and so often.
If you want to know more about the monster Hunter series and in a real way I recommend punkducks "how to monster Hunter" video
Yeah that video is one of the best ways to introduce world to someone new
Seconded.
It sure as hell explains away at it and does a good job pumping up both newbies and veterans of the series to play.
That video is hilariously epic
This is also what I want them to see. Its a good vid to introduce. Compared to Maxor.
Best way I’ve heard someone describe the nature of Monster Hunter is “Cave Punk.”
As for character, you’re kind of a combination local park ranger/pest control guy/gall they call a Monster Hunter.
You defend civilization. Keep trade routes open, bail out people in need of help and introduce offending creatures to your gigantic weapons and your carving knife.
Carve up monsters, make weapons and armor from their bones, hides and scales, and hunt bigger, cooler monsters. You also work as an ecologist, tracking down monsters and stepping in when invasive monsters step in and start screwing up the ecosystem.
And that’s…pretty much the entry point for lore. There’s more with regards to living natural disasters, rumors of lost civilizations, the fact that there are cats that cook food for you…
But these are stories for another day. ^_^
Proper lore explanation? Here goes...
A long time ago there was a technologically advanced civilisation that enslaved and slaughtered all forms of monsters. They even did this to the powerful elder dragons, beings rarely seen and often only rumoured, which are generally considered to be walking disasters on the scale of a volcano or earthquake. They used the pieces of monsters as resources for technology and even for buildings, and some of this technology survives in the form of incredibly advanced weapons. One day, one particularly nasty elder dragon destroyed that entire civilisation.
Let me rephrase that - one particularly nasty dragon destroyed that entire civilisation in one day.
A long time after that, we're where the games take place. Among the rebuilt civilisations is an overriding sense of being at balance with nature, instead of trying to control it. The World game (and the Iceborne DLC for it) take place on a mostly unexplored new continent far to the west of where the rest of the series has been set, so while there are monsters that are native to both there are also new ones, as well as variants that have evolved differently. You, as part of the fifth expeditionary fleet, are here to uncover mysteries and research nature.
And if you happen to capture lots of ethnically sourced dinosaurs to make codpieces out of their hide, well, that's just how colonisation goes sometimes.
EDIT: not only does the little cat (they're called Palicos) follow you into battle - you can customise it.
Fatalis destroyed the castle, not the civilization.
Also the monsters are separated into two types Wyverns, the basic monsters (banbaro, barioth, beotodus, bazelgeuss...etc) then there is the elder dragons (Velkhana, nergigante). The elder dragons are the ones supposed control the weather.
You also have variants of monsters, the viper looking copper flying squirrel (Viper tobi kadachi), the flying purple mouse balloon (Nightshade Paolumu), the pinkish monster which spewed poison from its tail (coral Pukei pukei), all of them are suped up versions of base monsters.
The story so far that brought them to the new continent was a Huge Elder Dragon (Zorah Magdaros 257 meters tall) that they were tracking of which left the main land and headed straight to the new continent for unknown reasons. There was a group already sent to the new world called the first fleet of which was backed up by the 2nd to fourth. You were apart of the fifth fleet. Monstyer hunter world is about figuring out and stopping zorah magdaros from getting to its destination as well as the outcome from doing so. Iceborne has you looking into the cold region of the continent of which has different variants and monsters who are native to the region.
Also in this universe there are also riders, people who grew up bonding with newly hatched versions of the monsters (called monsties) and fight side by side with them. Monsties are wyverns and elder dragons and because they bond with them they try to live in tune with the monsters and usually despise hunters. These are technically canon but is set on a continent far away from the usual monster hunters, you can usually see why. If you love the monsters from world/iceborne, I highly recommend that you play Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of ruin, it's mechanics are different more turn based than hack and slash, but it's very much worth it to play.
@@nugget6820 Didn't Fatalis not just destroy the castle but the whole kingdom. Not the entire civilization, yes, but the destruction was definitely more than a castle.
@@ishinomorileon
Fatalis attacked the castle and some surrounding towns causing the kingdom of shrade to split into two warring factions, but neither would actually fight due to fear of fatalis returning.
11:10 The giant monsters ARE the norm, BUT, the dragon you saw there is something called an Elder Dragon. Elder Dragons are living disasters, comparable to a volcano or an entire earthquake. For example, Teostra, an Elder Dragon of fire, is said to passively emit enough heat to glass an entire desert overnight.
So Elder Dragons and monsters above even that class, are considered basically as demi-gods, or outright divine beings when it comes to Black Dragons.
actually, elder dragons are one of 2 things or a combination of the 2:
-monsters that work in some unusual way (Vaal Hazak and its bacterium, for example) that may or may not be understood well
-monsters that are natural disaster level threats (Dire Miralis from MH3)
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 That's.... what I said. Dire Miralis is a Black Dragon, a class above Elder Dragons, but Elder Dragons themselves are capable of being natural disaster level threats as well, such as Amatsu being a literal living hurricane.
@@melanch0lycat5393 no, you said they're strong
I said they're strong, not understood well, or both
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 Semantics ngl, especially when the majority of Elder Dragons can easily fuck up an ecosystem.
While being an incredibly interesting world, MH doesn't really have that much in terms of lore. Basically it revolves around humans and an elf-like race called Wyverians. Together, using knowledge and technology from a previous extinct civilization, Hunters are tasked with conserving and protecting the ecosystem and any threats posed to it. It's not about wiping them out, more about taking down imminent threats and investigating strange occurrences. The premise in pretty much all the games is local monsters are going crazy for some unknown reason, you take down these monsters while investigating the cause. Eventually it ends with finding out the existence of an Elder Dragon (not necessarily a "Dragon", it's just a designation.), which are monsters that have an incredible amount of power and generally cause devastation anywhere they go. Some are just walking natural disasters.
Monsters overall are very well designed and the dev team takes inspiration from many real animals and their behaviors/characteristics. Over the 20 MH has been around they've built an incredible roster of monsters that we get to see return from time to time in future titles.
That's pretty much it. The fights can be extremely challenging, and the combat takes getting used to, but it's an extremely satisfying experience when you learn how to use the tools at your disposal. Combat is varied and none of the 14 weapons feel the same. Easily my favorite franchise of all time.
Good comment.
That's all "lore", though. MH has lots of lore, but little in the way of a story to each game.
The simplicity of the lore is honestly what makes it so charming and unique in my opinion. It just is what it is.
@@ChicagoReacts out of curiosity, who in the Chicago Reacts staff wrote this comment?
@@ChicagoReacts Most of the lore is not so much the world overall, but the lore of individual monsters. A ton of detail goes into how each of them is structured, how they act, what they eat, their habitats, how they move and attack...
32:30 - funny you mention it. ingame they are called "Heavy BowGuns" and they are exactly that ;)
If you're wondering how humans can survive in this souped up Australia, look at how big their weapons are, and how much food they consume.
To quote Max0r, "My body is an airplane fueled by chickens"
The one that was drinking out of the flower (Coral Pukei-Pukei is it’s name) basically uses its tail as a high-pressure water cannon- getting hit by it is like being hit with a fire hose on full blast
Kit, the cat is your battle buddy
They will go where you go
The overall gist of the monster hunter world is that humanity is not in the same spot as in our world, we are not the absolute top of the food chain in MH. Thanks to all the fire breathing mega fauna around human settlements are rather small and scattered, a few big citys do exist but they are set up around important travel hubs, are far from the norm and are usually highly fortified. A big city takes a lot of farmland for example, try having a lot of farmland when there might be anual migrations of train sized moose t-rexes.
Humanity itself tho is kind of living in a semi utopian society, it's generally understood that humans will help each other to survive and war isn't really an issue, cause the last thing you wanna do if you have a big territorial bull dragon next to your village is cause a big ruckus. There are also other intelligent species that coexist with humanity like the elf like wyverians and the bipedal cat like linians. Overall, everyone tries their best to just live and help each other cause the world demands it.
As for the monsters, honestly think of them more as just very big animals. They are not malicious or anything, but if your to busy collecting berrys to notice the hungry lion the size of a monster truck then yeah .....you better keep your eyes open.
Then there are the elder dragons. They range in intelligence from regular animal to almost human and there have been some that are outright malicious, wich is bad cause they are also basically walking natural desasters that can level citys by themselves. They usually stay away from humanity out of a kind of mutual respect, but if something upsets the balance of their habitat they will take action. One time there was a human civilisation that hunted all the monsters it could almost to extinction, one particularly scary elder dragon really took issue with that and dissappeared them literally over the span of a night.
That brings us to our last part of the world, the hunters guild. The hunters guild trains people to fight these monsters, researches them as to be better prepared and acts as a connecting information network between all the human settlements or sometimes micro nations. They then dispatch their hunters to those settlements as need be. So if a T-rex with a broadsword for a tail has decided to make it's nest a little to close to your neighbourhood, you call in the hunters and they take care of it. But it needs to be said that humanity does generally live in a fairly harmonious balance with their enviroments, a large part of that is thanks to the hunters guild. They will make sure not to overhunt large monsters or upset the natural balance in a given habitat. Remember that upsetting the balance of an ecosystem can have grave consequences in our world, now imagine each of the toads that have overrun australia weighs 10 tons and breaths acid and you can kinda imagine how enviromentalism becomes sort of an immediate neccesity.
So thats the overall world of monster hunter without going into the story of any game particular (honestly tho the story is not why you play and sorta rudimentary). We are not the dominant species but we make due thanks to the realisation that fighting each other while also having to regularly fight of living freight trains is not a good idea, so cooperation is the name of the game enviromentalism is very much a given and sometimes you just get eaten by a dragon, c'est la vie.
Regular monsters- basically animals
Elder dragons- walking forces of nature basically
Alatreon - walking natural disaster
Fatalis- walking armageddon
You get a kitty in every game (called a palico) who uses support moves to help you hunt. You choose what the look like at the beginning of the game
Monster Hunter is really a game i started to love after struggle at the beginning. First you have to learn that the Story doesnt matter, the characters dont matter - what Matters? Smashing every Monster 600 times in the ground like it owe you money. Its a game only with Boss monsters, every enemie can whip you out in seconds if you take it to light. It is a game designed around the fight, with good combat system and crafting the hell out of monster material. its so awesome, because you struggle the first times against a new monster. You fail, you learn and later in the game you laugh about the most monsters and crush them in minutes. The Monsters are the real stars, the monster vs. monster fights are awesome, the world seems alive with a real biosphere.
I never found a game that has so many different weapons that all play different with different combat styles, that uses every inch on the battlefield for strategic combat, you can lay traps, bombs, lure them under rocks.
Play this game, its fun. Dont be scared, many of the Monsters at the End are FAR laterin the game. The progress is slow and you get weaker Monsters out, learn the mechanics. This intros are realgame videos, mostly you learn about the next Monster so you dont be unprepared for the fight. You dont fight it at the first time mostly, the intros are for the first step to create tension and scare you. Most first fights are the hardest because you dont know all their moves and your gear is weak, after the fight you can create better weapons/armor or farm for it again(you slay this monsters more then one time). Also Multiplayer you can get help from other players, they help Newbies everytime.
Also Cats make you awesome Food 11/10
This is the $40 expansion Max0r mentioned in his Monster Hunter: World review. It really is worth it though.
Bit of a random thing which might make you chuckle. The monster at 17:33, the Tigrex, has a “unique” attack you should watch out for if you play the game. It doesn’t have a name but the best way I can describe it is “A crackhead chasing the last Oreo cookie rolling across his kitchen floor.”
Once you see it, you will laugh because my description is VERY accurate. But you will also be terrified because when you see that move, YOU are the Oreo cookie, and you should be running like hell.
EDIT
Video for a MH:W based channel where a Pro and Noob fight Tigrex, timestamped to 1 part where Tigrex does it’s crawling crackhead Pac-man attack. It does that a LOT throughout the video, this was just the first moment it did that, lol.
m.ua-cam.com/video/muw_ggFztDI/v-deo.html
The lore is deep, but the gist of it is that you're a park ranger now, and some monsters got rabies
Very cool reaction. It'd be nice if you guys reacted to the monster intros from the base game as well.
Unless it already exists and I havent found it
those cat people are called "Felynes" basically the monster hunter universes goblins
If you like hitting hard while still being somewhat fast, the either the charge-blade or switch-axe is up your alley. Also, they’re a bit complicated to use.
I would strongly suggest that you watch the monster introductions for base Monster Hunter World, as this is the games DLC.
Edit: Also, I would like to mention that most if not all names in this video were pronounced incorrectly.
It's funny how all the questions he asked at the end of the video is answered by "you just hunt the monsters"
The lore of Monster Hunter is essentially, "What if the meteor that killed the dinosaurs missed, and evolution just kept going." It's pretty good, nothing but boss fights.
The Cat's a Palico. They're there for if you don't play multiplayer.
Monster Hunter World is essentially, the cavemen have advanced their technology enough to cross the monster infested ocean to the Americas, for the first time.
You skipped to the DLC I guess, hence why the base game monsters are getting their asses kicked by the new monsters.
You fight the giant monsters with even gianter weapons. Most of them are very slow, and deliberate, because the weapons hit like a truck. So you have to be SURE you'll have time to get the attack off.
32:20 it's an elder dragon class monster named Vaal Hazak as you can see he can suck the life out things... also as an elder dragon it plays a very important part in the ecosystem but it also has the power to cause large scale loss of life and the collapse of neighboring ecosystems if it leaves the rotten vale so if it is seen outside of its natural habitat it is to be killed on sight
Context:
You are a hunter for the Research Commission, whose job it is to study the ecosystem of an island called the New World, and why Elder Dragons (the most powerful and dangerous monsters) are migrating there en masse.
Beotodus: "A piscine wyvern that uses the sharp fin on its head to cut through the frozen soil, swimming freely through the snow. Can often be seen hurling snow at its prey using its leg fins."
Banbaro: "A monster with two giant horns, like a running brick wall. It charges at threats while digging its massive horns in the ground, sometimes picking up entire trees along the way."
Viper Tobi-Kadachi: "The tail of this subspecies secretes a toxin while its fangs paralyze prey. It can also glide without climbing trees."
Nightshade Paolumu: "A Paolumu subspecies capable of putting prey to sleep. It produces a powerful sedative gas stored within its throat sack that it can expel and scatter to knock unwary foes out."
Coral Pukei-Pukei: "A bird wyvern that stockpiles water inside its body, fortified by the plant life it consumes. When threatened it can expel a powerful stream from its mouth or tail."
Barioth: "The snow-white flying wyvern with huge tusks found in the frozen tundra. It uses its forelegs and tail to traverse ice with ease."
Velkhana: "An elder dragon with the power to freeze all in its path. According to legend, it can control the cold, and use its freezing breath to conjure massive spires of ice out of nowhere."
Nargacuga: "A flying wyvern covered in pitch black fur. It is extremely agile, especially on the ground, moving with explosive bursts of speed."
Glavenus: "A brute wyvern that wields its heavy blue tail like a blade. It grows hotter and more keen with each strike until it glows red."
Tigrex: "A flying wyvern straight out of prehistory, known for its deafening roar and powerful legs that drive its overwhelming charge."
Brachydios: "This marine-blue brute wyvern uses its saliva to prime the sticky slime coating its massive arms, rendering it highly explosive."
Velkhana again. This is when you fight it for the first time, but you can only drive it away temporarily.
Shrieking Legiana: "A Legiana variant shrouded in white frost. It specializes in freezing prey with the powerful chill it emits,
then swooping down to strike at them from overhead."
Acidic Glavenus: "A new subspecies to the ferocious Glavenus, the Acidic Glavenus features a sulphur covered tail. Found only in the rotting areas of the New World, a corrosive fluid has crystallized on its tail, spraying acid with each swing that can apply a debuff to those that get caught in it."
Ebony Odogaron: "This Odogaron subspecies is forever on the prowl for its next meal, and is often seen carrying fresh kills in its mouth. Reports indicate it goes into a frenzy upon eating."
Velkhana again again. This is the fight where you finally slay it.
Seething Bazelgeuse: "The scales of this Bazelgeuse variant burn hotter than normal increasing in number and explosion radius as time passes."
Blackveil Vaal Hazak: "A Vaal Hazak variant encrusted with spores that spew a torrent of toxic effluvium at any who draw close."
Namielle (my personal favorite lol): "An elder dragon said to be able to command water and use it as a shield. Though very few sightings have ever been reported, they mention 'exploding water' and 'bright glowing lights.' Its existence remains shrouded in mystery."
Shara Ishvalda: "A mysterious elder dragon able to manipulate the earth itself. Vibrations from its wingtips reshape the earth, denying hunters footing."
Ruiner Nergigante: "Countless battles have only hardened this Nergigante variant. In addition to healing, its spikes grow tougher as it loses health."
Zinogre: "Lightning courses through the fur and unique plating of this fanged wyvern. It is most deadly in its supercharged state."
This cutscene takes place in a newly-discovered area called the Guiding Lands. The purpose of this cutscene is to show how monsters that shouldn't logically be able to coexist like this somehow appear in the same locale.
Yian Garuga: "A short-tempered bird wyvern marked by its hard, black scales and impressive mane. It strikes with its distinctive beak."
Honestly, I'd love for Kit or really any of the crew to play a Monster Hunter game (probably World, it's easiest to get into). It might take a bit to get into, but these games have mastered the art of alternating really cool with really silly, which makes them such a delight. Also the combat is amazing
NCHProductions have some great vídeos about monster Hunter
Well, lore : there was an ancient civilisation techologicaly advanced, until some incredibely powerful monsters appeared ( they have always existed ).
Humans' weapons were not strong enough, their civilisation was destroyed, and they all returned to the stone-age, and your role as a hunter, in most of the games ( not World Iceborne ) is to defend your village or the city where the Guild sent you, so non-hunters are not killed and their city destroyed by monsters.
In Iceborne, you are a hunter hired to participate to an expedition, following the migration of multiple monsters to an unknown place ( which is the new continent your hunter is located in the story ).
You arrive 50 years after the first expedition, you belong to the 5th company and to a group of much younger hunters than those present on the continent for 50 years, and you're expected to be the last and finally discover what brings monsters here.
This is the synopsis of the game, it's said like 2 seconds after you started the gale
Should send a video of Palico Lore to Kit to react to, since he enjoys the little cat partner so much.😄
So basically... There once was a super advanced civilization basically doing what modern humanity is doing to the earth. Except they had giant monsters. Well the more intelligent monsters basically did Emu War 2 Electric boogaloo and now the ancient civilization is gone, and humanity and "elves" now need to live in harmony with the ecosystems lest they end up feeling that wrath of mother nature. The Mute Main Character changes between games but generally, they are a supersoldier trained by The Guild to be what amounts to the ecosystems peacekeepers. They hunt down monsters which threaten the balance, keep certain populations in check to promote you know natural state of the world and such. In World, they've found a new continent due to some monsters deciding to once every 10 years to travel to said new continent to die off there. You, the main character, are a hunter, the previously mentioned super soldiers, and are a part of the 5th fleet to the new world. You get there with slight issues, and the game basically starts from there. You hunt monsters to A. Keep the ecosystem stable, B. To craft new gear from said monsters so that the next threat won't splatter you like a jam, and C. To find out about the big mystery of why monsters travel to a new continent once a decade to die off there. This all happens in the base game of Monster Hunter World. You figure out the mystery, get the credits and then go back to the regular gameplay aka farming monsters to Make yourself a better looking set. Once you get Iceborne, there is a new threat to the ecosystem and you have to figure that out. And from that we start out the Iceborne DLC. Some monsters from older games make appearances, like Nargacuga, Brachydios, Tigrex, Glavenus, Barioth, and some monsters introduced in World get a different variation.
32:20 Val Hazak! My favorite Elder Dragon from World. It looks dead because it basically is Pestilence, 3rd Horseman of the Apocalypse. Being around him too long causes you to not be able to stay at max health.
The big beefy dude at 28:39 The Admiral, has been confused for a Rajang in lore if I’m correct, bit of a fun tidbit
“See that’s when I would jump off the cliff like -okay… sometimes we’re not all brave.”
Brave if you to assume it wouldn’t jump off after you 😂
36:00 Shara Ishvalda is something else, i remember the first time I ever saw it, no one spoiled me on it thankfuly. I was yelling WTF constantly for 20 minutes before failing the mission. and the eyes... goddamn the eyes
Is there a playlist of you actually playing the game? Couldn’t find any in Chicago Plays.
Also that wasn’t all the cutscenes
The character you asked about is the player character. In cutscenes its rare for the pc to speak in MH games.
Also 18:50 spoken like a true hunter lol
There's actually a playlist that I created that follows a fanfic from a friend of mine, that's still ongoing. If you're interested in reacting or just do it for fun, look up RWBY's Monstrous Education.
It's basically a playlist of Monster Hunter Lore Videos.
IIRC, while most monsters can spit fire or acid or something like that, Velkhana was considered a myth because it can control the weather or something like that.
21:00 yeah, pretty much all of the monsters that are fighting with whatever monster is being introduced is an earlier monster that you fought. Though they are from the original game, that's why there's no introduction to them in this video.
I don't know where you got that from, but spoiler:
No, Velkhana was just an elder dragon who was just a big threat to a new settlement and thought to be a source of disturbances in the ecology of new world.
@@DissedRedEngie Tbh, I'm not sure where I got that from... I might be mixing it up with something else. I do have a faint memory of some npc talking about a monster that controlled the weather being the reason for the iceborne map to be frozen. It seems it's not just Kit that's going senile... :P
@@Chrius I don't remember any specific reason to hoarfrost being cold other than it's geology. I think an npc comments in new world about it being colder than normal. But there are plenty of elder dragons that seemingly can control the climate to minor extents.
@@Chrius You're right - Velkhana in fact is considered to be a myth and wasn't verified as an existing species of Elder Dragon until the events of Iceborne. Old Tracker and Handler's grand-dad appear to have known each other before his expedition to the New World ended with his ship being wrecked in the cave in Hoarfrost Reach. Somehow he got back home and gave a Velkhana scale to Handler, and the other scale is wrapped in the map/scroll she finds.
Since grandpa never managed to actually document Velkhana's existence, it remains a myth.
Fun fact: those cats are one of the strongest things to exist in monster hunter. They literally can't die, even if it was something that would normally vaporize a person or any living creature, they tank it without a scratch.
when in doubt, apply SAED to forehead, well, past fourth gen you can apply SAED to forehead
The three places for monster hunter for me is unnatural history for the real life lore , rage gaming for the gameplay and superRad for a retrospective of the series.
I don't know if Chicago Reacts will ever do this, but it would be so funny to see them react to any video by jmwFILMS. His GTA videos are so hilarious to watch, especially his book-guy videos.
uh. was the video he watched incomplete? where are all the iceborn add on monster's their cinematics?
Well according to the lore mostly everything is connected to the dragons..and we the player characters are Hunters of the guild...we are technically descended from ancient super enhanced super soldiers soo yeah that's how we survive and also there are other humanoid beings that are direct descendants of dragons soo it was implied there was crossbreeding as well.
Fun Fact: the hunters in Monster Hunter are canonical superhumans, which gives them the obligation to slay a world-ending dragon that's five times the size of them in order to make a new coat.
Hmmm first bullet won't work on those monster, but your sword will, because it's make by the monster material
Monster hunter's world has monsters as it's base wildlife, monster hunter world taking place on a newly explored continent there are things people have no concept of existing prior, as for dragons, there are really 2 kinds, wyverns (arms are wings) and elder dragons. Elder dragons tend to look closer and closer towards the classic hexapodal dragon or do not meet any other classification and the closer you get to looking like a generic dragon the more powerful they get with Fatalis being at the very top
17:22 You'd be amazed at the results.
Monster hunter is a world that is different from ours that have special monsters known as wyvern‘s in the category bases on the wyvern like there’s brute wyvern‘s, A flying wyvern‘s, Fish wyvern‘s, and fanged wyvern‘s. And then there’s a subcategory of monsters called fang beast. There’s also another class but these are more powerful than wyvern‘s they’re called elder dragons which have been around since before time and have the property destroy countries and have the ability to control the elements so they had to make the hunters guild so they can keep these monsters at bay. And there’s also different types of weapons like a long sword, Great sword, hammer, charge blade, switch axe, dual blades, hunting horn, bow, heavy Bow gun, and light Bow gun. You also have a cat that’s called a Palaco which is an indigenous species to the monster hunter universe which can talk but they speak in cat puns. And there’s also the elders which have been around for thousand years and know the elder dragons. Also some answers also have status effects like sleep and blast. So the hunters use this to their advantage it and hunt a monster so they can make armor and weapons out of them which greatly increases their ability of hunting even further that’s all I know about the game hope we use this information well.
The only thing you need to know is that little cat person is a Palico they are your best friend and and if your earn ones loyalty they with fight to the death along side you on your journey (they are immortal) and in world you get you do a very custom version of them i love monster hunter i've been playing since the psp and you need to play world not only would you be able to play in a lobby of 16 people but you can play with your viewers. so i do say Shields Up Iron Breakers.
Most monsters in this game are categorized by body type, most often 4 legs and 2 wings means an elder dragon. They are usually extremely powerful and related to forces of nature.
If it has 4 legs, 2 wings, and there's a choir of monks chanting latin, it's a really dangerous elder dragon.
@@stalhein62 also a horse, and some moss blob
Man missed fatalis cutscene
Just to add on to the pile, story has never really been the focus of the series. It’s mostly just kill monster A just because. The main gameplay loop involves killing a monster multiple times to make better armor and weapons out of its body parts before tackling an even more formidable monster for better gear and repeating this process over and over.
10:46 to put this easy and simple when they say though a monster was a myth it means the monster is highly dangerous and went missing for a large amounts of time never seen again
now there other monsters that are being called a myth but are real in the game like the black dragons they are extremely dangerous monsters can course massive amounts of damage or could be city and country ending monsters for example fatalis that one destroyed a a huge city with a big castle in one night
Humanity survive in the world of Monster Hunter by using the flesh, the skin and the bones of the monsters they killed.
If you guys are interested in looking up more Monster Hunter, specifically in regards to some of the Lore, Legends & Ecology of these MAGNIFICENT Mega Fauna...
I recommend looking up a channel called RageGamingVideos. He has some of the BEST Monster Hunter content around!
I dont really know the lore of mhwib but i know the story and history in mh aka “The tales of five”.So “Before time began people lived in an empty world with 5 dragons in that world the only thing that exist is the endless white light that time does not exist, therefore nothing is lost and nothing is received people starts to wonder why is there no beginning or end. They asked the dragons and wishes for them to answer.The dragons opens their moth but instead of words a huge amount of water flows every where ocean and sky starts to form, then all of them swim to the center of the ocean.the first dragon drowned and becomes the land the second dragon look up into the sky and turns into mountains the third dragon bow down then becomes the rivers the fourth dragon sleep and turns into forests the last dragon fly up high then turn to stars shining on that world. People starts to wonder why the dragons left them.Years later a young boy decided to set-sail to the island that the dragons have created by himself with a puny boat and stars to lead his way, days have passed the boy returned to the empty world people swarmed him and ask many questions about the dragons but the boy keep quiet and gave 5 dragon scales to the people, the boy was never seen again. People move out from the empty world and use the scales to create islands for them to live in but for the last scale they use them to create the moon so the stars will never shine alone again. The land grew bigger until it blocks the sun born to day and night time. Mountains , forests and rivers breath together to create seasons when the moon shines into the ocean waves are created and that is for time to began unfortunately as time began people have experienced death but they have also have learnt what life is years and years have passed people forget what has happened and no one can tell what and how the world is created,but all of the people knows that in the center of the ocean there is an island of the dragons that time does not exist in that island.
and there is “the ancient civilization” that does have some thing to do with the lore of lots and lots of stuff in mh but capcom don’t count it as a canon history
based on this guys reactions, I'm not sure he knows that Iceborne is an expansion, he should check out the base game monster intros too
8:35 if you really want to know. You sure gonna like Max0r vídeo about it
Pretty sure he watched that already.
So, hunters are somewhat superhuman. Able to wield weapons that are larger than themselves, fish blue whale sized shark wyverns out of the water, and being able to survive attacks that would brutally kill any normal human, are all common feats of hunters.
The main job of hunters, is to research monsters, and kill or capture monsters for scientists to dissect and research (elder dragons are immune to capture due to their power).
The quests hunters can take on, range from: The cephalopod elder dragon Nakarkos attacks a town, and devours every resident it could find. The only survivor, and the guild request you kill the elder dragon before it can cause more destruction.
To: a mom requests you kill 15 ludroth, because her son keeps peeing the bed, and she needs their spongy manes to clean up the mess.
Fun fact that Rock Dragon looks at you and not your character
People in the mhw universe are JACKED. That's how they hunt them, they hammer down a 50kg meal made by a cat, and then they go beat up some shit xd
There's no title update monsters here title are just free update
monster hunter rule number 1: it aint to big to hunt no matter what
25:43 we kill them and eat them
you problem should have seen the intros for base world first and i do recommend watching also id say to watch some of the ones from older games and the hunter never speaks at least not until rise
edit if you think cobras with legs is bad wait tell you see the shark with legs
Cats = Palicoes , they are more powerful than god itself and no other animal has more personality than those little fellas, also you can make armor sets from every monster to your palicoe and that alone should cost 60 dollars because man, they are the best
Rajang is where?
concerning your question of how humans can survive in this world see ABItorial: Monster Hunter, A Culture Of Danger, it explain no only how they survive but also thrive in this world
I would want to see you play monster hunter world.
Kit, no. Stop. Play this game, don't just react to it. Heck, you could play the game with the Chicago React crew too if you guys want. It's a whole lot of fun, man.
21:26 Not just that. The context of these videos happen after you complete the base game of Monster Hunter World. You see, "Iceborne" is the Expansion Pack / DLC of the game. So, the new monsters (the ones they show their names) you react to over here are the newcomers from the DLC.
26:22 In the original series, it's assumed that there are only a few cities left in each human civilization (or whatever that is left of the human civilizations). And the rest are mere villages. Monster Hunters are assigned to these villages to take down monsters that go berserk and on their way towards these human settlements. Cities have their own city battalions and Monster Hunter Guilds. So, monsters usually aren't a threat to the city dwellers, only to villagers. Well, that is until the Elder Dragons (essentially calamities and natural disasters in monster form) appear... And hence, no. Humans don't really thrive as much as they'd like - they just survive. Monster Hunters risk their lives to stop the monsters from approaching the settlements so humanity can, well, survive.
37:36 Yes, the cat helps out. That cat is our partner. Well. Okay. No. We are this cat's partner. Because while we only are allowed 4 KOs, this little buddy here has infinite respawn...so while people think we, the players, are the protagonist, I believe this cat is actually the real protagonist and true hero in this game.
46:41 Yes and no. Usually you face only one big monster. But there are times monsters would meet when their turfs crossed. But it's no biggie. Because the monsters often just fight everyone in the area. So, they can be your ally too, if you learn how to dodge their bites, claws, slashes, various kinds of elemental blasts and etc... But hey, that's the thrill of the hunt. wink
So, here you go, Kit. My paragraphs. Enjoy.
Easy we use the monsters body’s as a weapon Except Fatalis don’t be a idiot and wear his armor 0-0.( the idiot isn’t directed towards you it’s directed towards everyone including me.)
Lmao man I just wanna know how many of the names he got wrong
Why? Why though? Why would you have Kit- no, *anyone*, react to this video? There isn't even a narrative to follow. The Halo 2 video made a slight amount of sense. I like Monster Hunter World, but I don't see how reacting to this video adds... anything. Hell, I clicked on this video because I thought he was reacting to Max0r's video on MHW, but apparently I was wrong.
Edit: OH.
NEVERMIND.
KIT DID REACT TO MAX0R'S VIDEO.
A MONTH AGO.
Still, why Iceborne specifically? Why not start from the start of the base game, instead of the expansion to Monster Hunter World?
Also pls react to monster hunter rise and sunbreak too
Hope you play Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
This is really the worst video choice to introduce someone to monster hunter. I have no idea why someome chose this without prior context.
First off, recommendation. Rage Gaming channel, the “Pro and Noob” series where a MH veteran shows his newbie friend the ropes. 🤔 For SOME reason, I want to recommend the Pro and Noob video on the Seething Bazelgeuse. (It’s the one titled “Fear the Living Nuke”)
Other than that, I also recommend the “Monster Match Up” series by PapaGabe. Memes and short summaries of various monsters from Monster Hunter World, though due to fatherhood and other factors, those videos are incomplete.
Lorewise, going from stuff I’ve heard from friends, is that there was an ancient civilization which used many monsters for labor/power sources/etc, and eventually the civilization collapsed. Most hunters are distant descendants from that ancient civ’s “super soldier” program which is why the hunters can be COMPLETELY bullshit with the amount of damage they can take, their great strength and athleticism, etc. In the MH series, you’re basically surviving in eco-systems which have these critters running around, but sometimes the ecosystem gets screwed up because a POWERFUL one has shown up and disrupted things.
Generally speaking, most monsters are called “Wyverns” while the ones which are walking natural disasters, the eco-system disrupters, are called Dragons or Elder Dragons. Some powerful monsters don’t really fit into either classification, but they’re…unique. Rajang the Monkey is one, because he’s not a wyvern or dragon, but he gets his kicks by punching elder dragon’s in the face and eating the horns of one particular elder dragon named Kirin, which is an angry lightning-controlling unicorn. (AKA a Thorse).
Advice from a veteran player, for when you get into the game, about a subject that I didn’t learn about until MUCH later; Elemental Defense.
Some monsters have elemental attacks. Your armors boost raw defense, and will either boost or lower elemental defenses. Kirin armor, for example, gives you better protection against lightning, but will make you weaker against fire, ice, and water element attacks. What I was told EARLY on is that elemental attacks can cause negative status effects called “Blights” (Fire damage can cause “fire blight” AKA set you on fire, and you need to roll around a few times/into water to put the fire out) UNLESS you are wearing armor and accessories which boost your elemental defense to a MINIMUM of 20. Then you’re immune to the blight of that specific element.
What I learned MUCH later, which was very helpful, is that elemental defenses on armor are a % damage reduction to that elemental attack, (before it gets reduced even more by your armor’s raw defense stat) OR how much would get added to the attack. Kirin drops a lightning bolt on you when you’ve got 20 lightning defense, you’re only taking 80% of the damage, and you will not get “lightning blight”. (which makes it VERY easy for monster attacks to stun you…my least favorite blight). If you’re wearing armor that had -20 lightning defense, Kirin is going to do 120% damage to you. And you’re TECHNICALLY going to be immune to lightning blight then as well, but only because you’ll be f-king *dead* for being dumb enough to pick a fight with Thorse when you were weak to his specific element.
So, recommendation for watching. Small bit of lore. And advice for when you play the game; 20 elemental defense to be immune to elemental-specific debuffs, and the elemental defense number is what percent an elemental attack will be weakened OR strengthened by when it hits you.
first
if you want another video which kinda explains the society of monster hunter check out this video ua-cam.com/video/xyI8LQk7WDY/v-deo.html
this video was released when the first monster hunter movie trailer was released and it explains how paul w s anderson, the director, got another video game movie wrong again.
yeah, every name wrong, but the cats, palicos, are a HUGE part of the game and pretty much our true battle buddies.
Basically the giant two-legged animals (Brute Wyverns), the Flying Wyverns (dragons with wings and 2 legs), and all the other animals like Fanged Beasts (Mammals), giant spiders, amphibians, etc. are, more or less, natural animals here and have natural explanations for their abilities to breath fire or electricity or whatever. Elder Dragons are freaks of nature that don't confine to normal laws that everyone knows about (examples being have 6 limbs, being an animal that just doesn't exist in their world like Kirin, since MH doesn't seem to have horses, being very intelligent, or being really really big, and other reasons.). It'd be like if a guy from the Middle Ages went to South America or Australia for the first time and tried to describe a capybara or a kangaroo or a monitor lizard for the first time. Elder Dragons are essentially that.
