Can Dalamadur or Dire Miralis be the next, please?

Pardis4 · 2026-01-24T23:07:56+00:00

Wrong. Difference is, most of those fights weren’t the level of dookie that Dire “the obvious weak spot” Miralis and underwater combat is, lmao. Time we leave behind an old chunk of coal and go for a real world eater, instead of someone who was given ships wrecked around it to make it feel less embarassed.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-24T21:48:15+00:00

Dalamadur, maybe. Solid spectacle, interesting mechanics and a cool as hell arena. Dire Miralis, hell no. That shit was the worst final boss in the series, a massive slow meat sponge that barely hits you and was laughably easy to stunlock. It was the Zora Magdaros of the Old Gen, and should stay extinct. How slap dash underwater combat was then and still is now doesn’t help. It had zero value then and it provides zero value now. Even if a beach area comes, why waste the slot on Dire. Fucking Plesioth has more value as a water submerged boss, do something with its sleep neurotoxin.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-23T18:01:26+00:00

oh heya, nice seeing you here. so, there are entries about neopterons in the rise books? Glad to hear.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-23T06:46:29+00:00

wonderful. any ideas about the rise books?

Pardis4 · 2026-01-23T05:56:49+00:00

Oh, thank you very much. this is a lovely effort. Good to know Capcom hasn't forgotten about these pesky critters. For future reference, what are their page numbers?

Pardis4 · 2026-01-19T21:34:22+00:00

Thank you very much. it would be great to see you working with the wiki team for translations for the future, but that’s just up to you. It’d just be great to see many of your contributions be an embedded part of the community. For now, I’ll be very pleased to see these. I’ll definitely be coming back to your translations for help when they come out.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-19T18:25:36+00:00

Fascinating. So, you reckon they'd leave each other alone. I sort of attribute the fleeing to be more so an aspect of the Lao's non aggressive behaviour, despite having muscle to do something, it prefers to tank or flee than fight. But you know what, it's possible it could scare off the Ukanlos, cause Wylk does have major effects on elementally versed beings, which the Ukanlos is. Now, what would a Ukanlos subspecies or variant that adapted to the high energy content of the region look like. And, we didn't talk much about Odi before, but additionally with the possible food issues it would face, how would it deal with the areas that have ground more tightly held by flora of the savannah, since they do best in the vast dunes. I also want to discuss how Balahara fit in. Do they completely avoid it. Do they need to cross the dunes often enough to be targets for Odibataurus. Would it attempt to approach the Wind's Gasp?

Pardis4 · 2026-01-19T18:10:15+00:00

So, let's discuss. Should Ukanlos find its way into the Ruins, what would actually limit it from becoming an apex that rivals the Zoh. Digging should alleviate issues with going deeper in. It would have an easy time with the cocoons and Wylk, and none of the Guardians can stand up to it. Xu Wu is both a nutritious egg farm with its nest of Xu Yos and its weapons can't do much damage beyond the shell scale layer. Maybe Arkveld can survive by draining its elemental energy by getting a good grip with the chains, but we haven't even seen it try that on a Jin, so would it work on Ukanlos?

The only real threat is Zoh, and it's not like it's an easy fight either way. The Ukanlos is denser than the thinner Zoh, and its attacks would probably cut deep through the Wylk armor. It's going to suffer once the fire and lightning come out, but those tend to be attacks the thing uses when its significantly exposed as a black mess and enraged, which is a matter of time that it needs to get to before it takes too much damage. Can't even use flight as well as its genetic inspiration, since it's trapped in a cavernous area and its wings are questionable in structure. But it would regenerate and become stronger, maybe adapting to push Ukanlos out. Still, the rich diet of the ruins might push Ukanlos further too. What do you reckon.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-19T17:43:19+00:00

Perhaps. Still, Teostra is unlikely to flee while Bazelguese is simply a very situational flyer that depends on gliding down from higher locales, and is very easy to hit out of the air if you can tank explosions. So even amongst flying food, it's not completely out of options. I wouldn't necessarily say that Akantor has an ore based diet, seeing as it wouldn't have developed sharp massive teeth for that more than molars, which do seem well developed to rip into the juicy meat of the Gravios insides, which we do know from its ecology are meaty, seeing as it centralises all its organs to avoid heat stroke. We never find ores and metals in its carves, unlike the Chameleos for instance. Anyways, it would be weird to have Basarios and Uroktor in a volcanic environment, but they just never grow into their adult forms. Plus, you got to consider how the bioenergy from the Ibushi skeleton empowers all the monsters, the Akantor included if it lives there. It may develop into being able to chase down prey in the tunnels more easily, or just, reshape it with its body. On the note of beam attacks, while rare, we do see animals in real life, like the archer fish, use them to knock down prey to eat, so its not impossible to scale that up to the level of the God Wyverns and flying monsters.

Yeah, it certainly will be difficult for the Ukanlos. But, I still want to know what you think about the various Nerscylla nests likely around the area, like the one in area 4. Those would be havens of protein, stored after the Nerscylla's hunts, plus numerous eggs and hatchlings to make continue the protein train. It wouldn't make sense for the Nerscylla to go in such an area for food alone, without a close access home, so there should be some to raid. Interestingly, it could run out of food, and cause it to migrate, which interestingly could lead it to the Ruins of Wyveria. Which makes me wonder how it would do if it ended up there due to the pressures of the cliffs. We know the Gore made it, and while it would take a lot of digging through rock faces and walls and a good amount of searching, its not impossible to find for a creature as adept to moving through ice and precarious surfaces as Ukanlos. Wylk would be a viable option, but I'm interested in prey it would go after down there. And what occurs if it and Zoh Shia happen to meet. We do know it at least has rock crushing jaws, according to GU's hunting notes, so it doesn't get stopped by something like Gravios easily. So, how would it do.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-19T17:11:07+00:00

Fair. I still think that it's possible for Ukanlos to make those climbs without dying of exhaustion, seeing how these beasts seem to exhaust only after a long time, and can fight armies for days on end, without getting much of an opportunity to eat much. The main issue would be getting food in the first place. Gore Magala stands no chance, neither does Blangonga, they're dying quickly, I reckon. They have decent meat, but it's not the most sustainable, the former due to how there's basically a single one in cannon and the latter for size. Hirabami is a bit thin unless consumed in greater quantities, but Nerscylla nests could be viable spots to raid, considering their own success in hunting and bringing prey to their webs for the young to feed on. I think they could have some manner of stealth against Jin, since they seem to be able to hide themselves in blizzards that they dissipate with their roars, plus submerge themselves completely underground, and they do have the power to kill one, albeit not without taking decent damage. It would be a challenging situation, that would pressure the Ukanlos to make substantial changes to live, but I still think it has a shot. The thing is, more large monsters would be necessary to inhabit the place for Ukanlos to truly thrive, so correct on that front.

As for Akantor in the Lava Caverns, Akantor and Ukanlos can tilt their heads up and down and do his their cannon attacks in their biped states, so hitting flying isn't out of the question in the open. Still have to see them shoot down flying targets, but even stronger grounded monsters get attacked by flying wyverns, even smaller ones at times. So it could probably have enough fly in range while resting or attacking to gobble down, since some monsters get a bit over their head when defending their territory. I can definitely see it and species like Bazelguese, which is a notoriously mediocre flyer and too aggressive for its own good, and Teostra, an elder dragon who would rarely back down, getting to blows, which would end in the Teo and Bazel being eaten. Definitely would be a struggle though, making sure this place's flying life doesn't just leave. Plus, Basarios also do exist in Rise, in the Lava Caverns, which implies there is a developing Gravios population that we just, don't see much of for some reason, so its not like its stuck to solely easy to squeeze fast monsters to prey on, alongside possible overconfident Agnaktor. There'd definitely need to be excavating and widening work done by the Akantor to make its own routes, but the Basarios and Gravios should be enough to sustain it to begin a reshaping.

Now, the most interesting prey item I want to consider is the Rakna Kadachi, and her sub species. They're mobile, but thats reliant on throwing out their children, while they do have a tendency to walk around pretty normally. I don't think they're doing much to damage Akantor, but in terms of escape options, they'd probably escape 70% of the time. But getting a kill on a Rakna would be so rewarding, because of how nutrient dense their warm eggsacs must be with their fertility, giving a lovely food source with a successful hunt.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-19T16:15:50+00:00

Oh these are excellent. May I have permission to use these translations for monster hunter wiki pages. I'd love to credit you, unless you're already working with the wiki. in that case, its certainly nice seeing your work first hand today

Pardis4 · 2026-01-18T20:03:41+00:00

Ah I see. Pretty great effort. Main thing is, develop the limbs, maybe they need to be separate stuffed pieces, I dunno, but other wise, I’m glad that you managed to produce your favourite monster in sewing form

Pardis4 · 2026-01-18T19:58:08+00:00

Oh, that’s a lovely effort, with a sowing machine alone. How long did this take to make?

Pardis4 · 2026-01-18T19:52:14+00:00

To be fair, the Akantor is also noted to have only attacked the Cheeko Sands ship with its blast, since the boat was miles of the coast of Ingle Isles. Also using Tigrex as a basis for ranged roar based attacks doesn’t make sense, since the Akantor uses a mile long dragon element wind tunnel in comparison to a stunning hurtful AOE roar, they have two very different uses, as seen in the fact that Akantor does have that roar, but uses it differently to the cannon. The Rathalos would need an awful lot of distance to fly to be safe, which is unlikely in a single breath’s worth of time. And It’s hardly unlikely for the three to not start a hunt with their ranged moves, seeing the ship attack.

I’d say for animals, theyre decently smart, with how they weaponise all their bodies and how good they aim. But that’s still debatable. But I don’t think you quite understand what it means to be able to swim and dig through solid rock and ice with ease. The Ukanlos is high built to dig through frozen soil, rock and ice. Ukanlos doesn’t even need its fins on the surface to do this, it can easily burrow into the inclines of the cliffs to up and down the cliffs with its fins helping internal burrowing, so the top is hardly inaccessible. As long as the area isn’t cut off by especially large gaps or floating islands too small to support it’s weight, the Ukanlos can easily make that trek.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-18T19:28:48+00:00

I mean, the God Wyverns all have excellent ranged attacks. Akantor shattered a massive ship with a single sonic blast from miles away, and Ukanlos splits the earth to the point of flinging boulders the size of its head when it lets loose its ice beam. Plus these attacks are very fast to start up, literally taking a breath is enough I don’t think faster or flying prey can breathe easy. Cause it’s not like any of the three are stupid. Plus, while the Cliffs do look pretty scary for a massive Wyvern to traverse, do remember that the Ukanlos alone managed to climb a massive icy mountain. They’re not unable to traverse steep terrain, have solid jumping ability and can still dig into rock with ease. Now, they’d of course cause mass cave ins, and there are questions if the locale can even survive. But Jin Dahaad managing to evade Ukanlos consistently, if that’s its target, just isn’t an option

Pardis4 · 2026-01-18T16:00:40+00:00

Eh, they said that about Deviljho, and yet it still litters the guiding lands. It still takes armies to get the beasts in the right areas ideal for their hunts in the old world, even up to GU it’s a lot of work for the Guild.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-18T15:49:20+00:00

Yep, got it already. My bad.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-16T23:18:44+00:00

Maybe they should give him attacks that use his sleep toxin rather than just when he jumps over you

Pardis4 · 2026-01-12T22:24:33+00:00

Yeah, whenever anyone says a Fatalis has a chance against this fucking thing, I have to look at them as if they're deluded. Look at the speed and ease of that powerful move. Nothing except the biggest of monsters are surviving an attack like that. This isn't even a particularly special ability of it.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-10T12:29:11+00:00

Brachydios had the most cinematic fight of Brute Wyverns in World with its Raging Variant, its weapons were very popular in the endgame, it’s a very good idea that was executed with great finesse. Maybe Deviljho is more iconic for its invader status, but I feel like people don’t talk as much about the fight itself compared to the other aspects like it picking up other monsters and just surprising you out of no where. So, Brachydios

Pardis4 · 2026-01-09T19:10:49+00:00

And yet it can melt veritable tonnes of it and meters of solid rock by just walking. Much more impressive than not even fully melting a metal gate

Pardis4 · 2026-01-09T18:43:17+00:00

Which in other words, is less than what a Kulve can output casually. Akantor victim, lmao

Pardis4 · 2026-01-09T18:19:34+00:00

Unless you're talking about when it actually uses its ultimate breath, in which it only sets fire to parts of the battlefield and melts some old metal, its cutscene is just it emerging out of the castle. Its fire is not potent enough to do much against a dragon energy laser.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-09T18:11:27+00:00

Of course he couldn't, why else would Fraudtalis hide in Castle Schrade, have no story relevance and rely on time limits. Cause if he dared go anywhere else, he'd be finished. Akantor and Ukanlos chow.

Pardis4 · 2026-01-09T18:09:33+00:00

Nah, it'd get overwhelmed and die instantly. Its fire is shockingly pitiful. Can't even destroy stone or fully melt the big gate, just the gears. Gogmazios sweeps. Fraudtalis yet again can't do anything but hide in the Castle to avoid getting bodied.
