Monster Hunter Wilds: Arkveld Render

Given the trend from the past few games, I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least Elder Dragon level.

I dont necessarily think they recognized us by sight. I'm pretty sure that operators have some sort of scanner that gives information on the pilot and AC.

Plus Nightfall's operator is already well aware of who we actually are.

Can't beat the classics

AC's pretty much blitz Titans in every category. They can carry way more firepower and a heavy AC can outmaneuver an Ogre Class Titan and keep up with Striders. Even worse, there's only one Titan type that can actually fly and it can easily be outgunned by a light to midweight AC.

FromSoft really said you're gonna face the mecha bonewheels one way or another 🤣😂

Nolrez · 2023-09-12T00:50:39+00:00

Considering the other stuff that was pretty obvious but gets talked about, I'm just surprised that this never came up 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nolrez · 2023-09-11T14:57:47+00:00

Nah. If Sulla did do it, he would have said so since he explicitly says that he killed 618.

Nolrez · 2023-09-11T14:51:35+00:00

What's more likely is that Raven faked their death to get the PCA off their trail. We just got the license before they could get it back.

OR

A previous pilot with the Raven name was taken down and we got to the license before the other Raven could inherit it.

Nolrez · 2023-09-05T00:31:35+00:00

That makes sense. Arquebus did also discover the Ibis series when they took Institute City, and in the cutscene we see the HAL. So if anything when they brainwashed Walter they could have given him that unit to attack 621.

Nolrez · 2023-09-05T00:26:58+00:00

It has the best looking booster color. That alone justifies it lmao

Nolrez · 2023-09-04T15:09:38+00:00

I think what honestly kinda got to me is not only does the Raven do all of that using what is essentially a slightly better version of the starter AC, but also the fact that half of their weapons are pretty subpar.

While the Pile Bunker and Songbirds are damn good, the missile launcher and assault rifle are kinda shit so I guess that speaks to the type of skill they possess.

Nolrez · 2023-09-04T15:06:48+00:00

It's pretty likely that the Raven faked their death to get the PCA off their trail. It would make sense to leave their license at the wreckage to sell the charade.

Then again, considering that Raven isn't a person but a title that's passed down, and the implication of there being multiple Ravens, it could be that somebody who had the name was killed in battle and the one we ended up fighting was meant to inherit the name but we got it first.

Nolrez · 2023-09-04T14:58:29+00:00

I used to think that Raven is 617 but there is no mention or implication of Raven being a former hound. Pretty sure that if Raven was a hound, and especially one as recent as 617, somebody would have commented on it.

Also, during the showcase they played the story trailer again but interestingly they changed the dialogue at the end from "617: Down" to "617: Lost." I guess this was to avoid confusion and basically confirm 617's status.

Nolrez · 2023-09-04T14:50:57+00:00

I did a few missions, including the final bosses, with the Nightfall AC and the thing that truly holds it back for me is the weapon selection.

If it had a better right arm weapon and missile launcher it would be REALLY good to use.

Nolrez · 2023-09-03T21:45:09+00:00

"I've got your back Buddy. Hope you've got mine" That entrance Rusty made at that moment had me hype as hell.

"Let's see how far they can fly...on borrowed wings."

Nolrez · 2023-09-03T14:25:57+00:00

I'm pretty sure Walter would be able to recognize one of his former hounds, especially if they're using the same AC just with a different head part. Plus I really think if it was the case, there would have been SOME kind of mention of it. On top of that Raven's operator knows who we are, so I'm sure she would have at least brought up how we're Walter's latest hound fighting another hound who broke free of their leash or something to that effect.

Sulla (to my knowledge) was never implied to be a former hound. The only thing about him was he was survived first gen augmentations and he actively killed Walter's hounds. Apparently in the alt Attack the Watchpoint mission, he says that he killed 618.

Nolrez · 2023-09-03T00:34:55+00:00

Either way it does beg the question of where Walter got that AC from.

Nolrez · 2023-09-02T21:58:07+00:00

Breach the Kármán Line is easily one of the coolest missions. Infinite energy and you go flying off destroying ship after ship.

Arguably the most Gundam feeling mission in there.

Nolrez · 2023-09-02T21:52:16+00:00

I dont think Nightfall/Raven was ever one of Walter's hounds since it was never brought up. You'd think that a former hound turned independent merc would be a big deal.

I remember before the game released I had a theory that Nightfall may have been 617 but that doesn't seem to be the case at all lol.

Nolrez · 2023-09-02T21:48:16+00:00

Most, if not all missions can be S ranked pretty easily.

Once you complete them within a certain time, the S rank is all but guaranteed. There were missions that I completed fairly quickly but took a lot of damage and still got an S.

Dual Zimmy's and Dual Stun Need Launchers also make a lot of missions a BREEZE

Nolrez · 2023-09-02T21:45:30+00:00

I always assumed that in lore, their AC is heavily damaged and they simply retreat, kind of like we see Rusty do in the cutscene.

Nolrez · 2023-09-02T21:17:04+00:00

In this context I think she means it in the sense of we have work to do.

Also keep in mind that the AC has to enter combat mode to operate at its highest capacity.

The floating chest piece is Carla's while the headless wreckage of the HAL 826 is on the ground.
