*coughs water laser* "Namielle, dearie, will you do a favor to your grampa and go drown some hunters of the new world for me?"

What i love about the canon fight is that you do not kill it, you actually help it. Its horn is growing to the point of harming it, which is why it grinds it onto the seabed, endangering the entire island. By cutting the horn, you not only save the island, but the Ceadeus as well. Who said hunters were mindless killers?

the fact that this is sung in Wyverian makes it seem like an ancient hymn/prayer to Ceadeus... that is so fucking cool

The atmosphere in this fight is incredible.

This game's composer is a freaking legend. Although, that could really be said about anybody working on the franchise.

Moga Village: "Our village is in danger from Ceadeus, a mighty water god. We must evacuate." Me: *Puts on hunting gear* Moga Village: "Please tell us you're not going to fight that thing." Me: "I'm going to fight that thing!"

Ceadeus bros, lets vote for it

Awesome instrumentals? Check. Incomprehensible lyrics? Check. Great build up to the fight? Check. Great area to fight in? Check. Loads and loads of pressure because everyone will die if you lose? Check. Gigantic viking whale with a laser beard? FRIGGIN CHECK

Ceadeus s a crature that coud destroy islands just by scratching his horn. His presence scared every single monster out of the Moga Woods, even the larger and more aggressive ones . He is confirmed to eat Nakarkos who are Apex Predators who eat Apex Predators. Ceadeus is the embodiment of badass

I remember seeing this thing for the first time and just being like "Holy fucking shit..." Monster Hunter is able to tap into the feelings and instincts that our species hasn't really felt since the days when giant sloths and cave bears roamed the earth. The feeling of encountering a huge and deadly beast and at first just getting this feeling of awe and then thinking "Alright, how am I gonna kill this thing".

This song really gets the post prehistoric and tribal essense of the game!!!

"Name: Ceadeus (ナバルデウス) Title: Ocean Dragon (大海龍) Average Length: 5837.2cm Average Height: 3575.5cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Depth Dragon Family: Ceadeus Habitats: Ocean, Underwater Ruins" "We ask of the meaning of life We ask of the image of life Now, let us give birth to a new song" "The sound of the sea is the chain of life Resonating with life, hailing the earth The liberty of life, the harmony of the sun It is the song that connects us all" "This voice of the sea is the melody of life The tune of life, the beat of the earth The breath of life, the harmony of the sun It is the song that we all sing" "All will chant Wishing for will and heart All will raise their instruments Imagination, desire, and thought A new song, birthed within us." "Ceadeus is a legendary elder dragon that lives in the depths of the ocean. It has been reported since ancient times but was thought to be a mere legend amongst seafaring cultures and the Hunter's Guild until recently. Some still have a hard time believing it's real." "Ceadeus goes by many names; "shining giant of the depths", "great sea dragon", "moon of the sea", "new moon", and "sea god". Some legends see this elder dragon as the bringer of prosperity, while others see it as a bad omen or disaster waiting to happen." "Near Moga Village are ancient ruins at the bottom of the sea left behind by Moga Chief's ancestors. His ancestors built a village right on top of those old ruins, but a string of earthquakes destroyed that civilization." "The earthquakes that occurred a long time weren't caused by seismic activity but by Ceadeus rubbing its horn on the seafloor. One of Ceadeus's horns was overgrown, and it was trying to sharpen or wear down the horn to make it more manageable for itself." "While it was rubbing the horn on the seafloor with its unimaginable strength, it caused earthquakes to occur across the Moga Region, and tsunamis would occur shortly after said earthquakes as well." "Although Ceadeus doesn't intentionally try to harm anything with its grooming activities, it's strong enough to sink islands and destroy nearby villages with those disasters if it is left unchecked. While calm in nature, a Ceadeus can be quite destructive to an ecosystem." "Completely aquatic in nature, Ceadeus uses its front fins and massive tail to swim through the water with ease. While usually a slow swimmer, Ceadeus can torpedo through the water with surprising speed." "On its neck is fur that forms a sort of beard under the monster's jaws. Ceadeus uses this fur to cultivate and farm symbiotic algae within its beard. Despite its aquatic nature, it does need to surface for air occasionally, but it likely doesn't need too often due to the algae." "Ceadeus uses the algae to produce oxygen for itself, allowing it to breathe underwater. A Ceadeus can stay underwater for several days or longer without needing to surface for air. It's even been theorized that a Ceadeus could stay hidden under the depths of the sea for months." "If Ceadeus can stay underwater for that long, it could explain why it took so long to discover the colossal elder dragon. Noticeably, Ceadeus's glowing organs can sometimes be seen on certain portions of the monster's body, and this luminous plays a part in its breathing." "Inside of Ceadeus's body is luminous organs that glow for unknown reasons. These organs seem to hold incredible power, and the light they produce causes a luminescent bacteria found on the monster's hide to glow brightly." "Ceadeus uses the glow produced by the bacteria and the carbon dioxide it exhales for a form of photosynthesis, allowing it to grow the symbiotic algae that it uses for oxygen to breathe underwater for long periods of time." "The glow from Ceadeus's luminescent bacteria also attracts large schools of fish to its location, which is the reason why some fishermen think the elder dragon brings good fortune wherever it appears." "Ceadeus isn't very aggressive until it is provoked. It'll use its entire body as a weapon against threats, including its massive horns. It'll also suck in large amounts of water before exhaling a giant current out of its mouth." "Not much is known about Ceadeus's breeding habits. Nakarkos is known to occasionally eat Ceadeus pups, but the same can't be said about an adult Ceadeus." "Ceadeus's skin is remarkably solid, while its scales are too large to be called scales. Its massive tail symbolizes peace. Its crooked horn was formed over ages and evinces all weight of history. Many rings can be found inside of its horn, possibly revealing Ceadeus's old age."

MAY GOO CHE BADA BOOM, OLE TO THE BIG WALLL PUDDING, GUSTA SPATULAAAA ACORN CEADEAAA SAME OLD THIIINNGGG

I used to kill the poor ceadeus only for this song...Now, this ancient dragon can live thanks to YT

also these lyrics are wyverian. so there's that solved.

This song make me remember the day when I think fighting ceadeus was the biggest problem in my life

First elder dragon, First epic fight, This music pumped me up.

First time I heard the boss music was when my roommate fought Caedeus before me. For some reason, it didn't really click for me that first time. THEN I fought the beast on my own, and was completely blown away by the whole experience. The grand atmosphere, boss, and this MUSIC... It's just too good. I don't know what I originally had against this theme, but it got annihilated with that epic boss fight. So satisfying.

I want to hear a Ceadeus roar in the background.

" We ask of the meaning of life We ask of the image of life Now, let us give birth to a new song The sound of the sea is the chain of life Resonating with life, hailing the earth The liberty of life, the harmony of the sun It is the song that connects us all This voice of the sea is the melody of life The tune of life, the beat of the earth The breath of life, the harmony of the sun It is the song that we all sing All will chant Wishing for will and heart All will raise their instruments Imagination, desire, and thought A new song, birthed within us."

Given this fight takes place right under moga village I always imagine it to be the village all getting together and singing and beating drums and chanting, praying for your victory

The fact that you're under water while this is playing just adds to the awesome ambiance that the song already brings. Man, this takes me back. Still gotta get a 2ds to play MH4U, can't wait.

The first time defeating this guy. The feels. I'll never forget.

I miss Ceadeus. I have fond memories of farming his gear.

Ceadeus is such a tragic monster. He just wanted to clip off his horns since they started getting too big, so he rammed them into some rocks. He diddnt even cause the earthquakes on purpose. So next time your town sends you to hunt a Ceadeus, let it get away.

a little poem i made inspired by the monster intros of Rise Down in the depths where the sun fails only the strong withstand the pressure... A great mass moves about the void less a beast and more a force of nature... Its rule is without question in the place where the shadows creep... Bow down before him the supreme monarch of the deep... Thalassic Overlord [CEADEUS]

Best Music of monster's battle ever.

Esta cancion tiene un peso terrible sobre mi, hay algo en ella que hace que sienta un escalofrio en mi espalda y lagrimas empiecen a brotar. Talvez es el recuerdo de cuando la escuche por primera vez, luego de farmear durante dias enteros para conseguir una armadura decente porque el Ceadeus me daba genuino MIEDO. Recuerdo dias en la que cargaba la 3ds y jugaba hasta quedarme sin bateria, solo farmeando con la esperanza de poder sentirme preparado para plantarle cara a esta bestia legendaria. Las sensaciones la recuerdo tan vividamente como el dia que ocurrio; el darle aceptar a la mision, meterme al agua, avanzar en esta, llegar a la parte de la pelea y escuchar esos tambores tan agresivos y despiadados salir por el pequeño parlante de la consola que mis manos tapaban, ya que la estaba agarrando con fuerza porque me temblaban de la emocion. Fue un sentimiento inmediato: Estoy peleando contra un dios. Esto ya no es un wyvern bruto, un wyvern volador o el pequeño Lagiacrus, monstruo insignia del juego. Estoy luchando, con solo una espada, contra el DUEÑO del oceano, un dragon anciano capaz de crear terremotos con solo golpear sus cuernos. Las "liricas", si se pueden llamar asi, no ayudan a aliviar esta sensacion, ya que te hacen sentir como si la misma fuerza del mar te fuera a aplastar apenas bajes la guardia (estas estan en wyveriano, un idioma inventado para el propio monster hunter, asi que casi se sienten como si fuera un rezo del pueblo hacia el Ceadeus). Lo mas gracioso es que luego de matarlo por primera vez, me obsesione con esa pelea. Lo farmee tanto que consegui armarme completamente para lo que se venia despues (literalmente, aunque este sea el jefe final del juego, solo es un 1/6 del mismo) y, sin exagerar, hay miles de peleas mas dificiles que esta. Incluso ahora que he jugado el MHW y el MHR puedo decir que el Ceadeus, entre todos los dragones ancianos, es uno de los mas debiles. Pero el sentimiento que tuve yo al luchar contra el en aquel momento no se repitio nunca, ni con los monstruos mas dificiles de la saga. Rezo por el dia que CAPCOM decida, nuevamente, meter el combate acuatico y regresarle al Ceadeus la gloria que se merece por ser el Rey del oceano

I love how the "left-over" bass after each drumbeat makes it sound like you're hearing it underwater

WE NEED CEADEUS BACK PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF G O D

Lagiacrus the king of the sea Ceadeus:hold my beard

I wanna cry from the nostalgia. I used to listen to this theme and act as if I was Ceadeus when I was little. The memories.

I remember, with this being my first combat and monster hunter game, of being scared of the Great Jaggi quest (I ran around with my SNS for like 20 minutes before accepting the quest, lol). It was an almost hour-long quest for me, and the timer very nearly ran out towards the end. I was watching, avoiding attacks, and learning. After that hunt, I felt so proud, and I knew I was now a Monster Hunter. How many years later? I've found so much joy in all succeeding games (mainly World, Rise, and Stories). OMG. Set-building is so great. I loved the "small" roster of Tri, because it allowed me to memorize every armor piece's stats and combine them at will. I mastered Tri (3k hours and a set for every monster). I loved it- at that point, it was meditation, it was dancing with a foe, and a team. Cont. I wish we had been allowed to play with other countries in that game (JP, anyone?) The JP always collaborated AMAZINGLY WELL as a team. I'll never forget the 500+ times fighting, online, with the same team, for hours though, to get the Great Baggi's tiny gold crown. Ah, the good old days.

~You find yourself, sitting among the water, staring at calm blue currents. You remember the look of the villagers when you very first arrived on that island, their fear and distress pained you. But you eased their pain, you gave them a fighting chance. You are their hunter. Get ready, this is what you've been fighting towards since that day. Are you ready, hunter?~

First time fighting this thing, Cha-Cha wouldn't give me air. I spent half the fight trying to heal out of the drowning, and finished with 30s to spare.

Thank you for keeping this song here, literally all I could find

Makes me sad to think Ceadus will probably never come back in the series. ;(

I never liked the underwater fights but this final battle combined with this song ITS LIKE THE WHOLE VILLAGE DEPENDS ON YOU AND THEY ARE FIGHTING WITH YOU. TRULLY EPIC !

The memory of one tiny little man with a tiny little axe bringing this behemoth king of the ocean will always send goosebumps down my spine

Damn, this song reminds me of early days of MH, Elder Dragon fights were so amazing and glorious... But nowadays, they're so many of them i even lost count... Still, when I first heard this song, my blood starts to pump and beats faster everytime, thus Ceadeus remains as one of the most underrated monsters in MH...

It's a shame we will most likely not be seeing Ceadeus again any time soon.

Ah yes. Giant hairy punching bag and giant hairy GOLD punching bag. Occasionally known as "focus on the horns and stop beating on its stomach you idiots"... and sometimes "keep the n00bs away from the dragonator already!".

Over 9 Years I'm still listening this to fight Monster on Iceborn, it's always the thing that "Made my Day" BTW the Best Fight to Do If you missed it, go for it. #WaterFight

I love how this melody and theme is subtly interjected into various sections of the game. There's a laid back version of the melody that plays in the port I believe and then it all leads up to this banger in the Ceadeus boss battle. Pretty brilliant stuff.

"Tectonic what? No, no, it's a dragon, kid, trust me."

I can't be the only one who misses water combat, wished they brought it back.

12 year old me was freaking terrified of this guy, the music made me think i was fighting against a freaking god

First elder dragon in my Monster Hunter career, was an epic fight with my friends and our low rank gear

Those percussions at the beginning... They talk directly to your heart, and they say you're in front of a Deity

0:53 "Oooooooooooooooooh shit!"

"maeg nu che tam baradum ore urabei aon puudi dhuta bhraturan meko chiei nei ina saemo fhei "

It makes sense that this is the "battle theme", because the first half of the hunt Ceadeus barely notices you. It's only after you've clipped its beard that it acknowledges you as a threat. Good thing you only needed to break its overgrown horn in the canon hunt.

I love this song! There really is a lot of emotion in it. It makes you want to save the village, and it makes you want to slay the beast!

The TRUE god of the sea, Posidieon is an imposter!!

we need more of these kind of themes for future monster hunter games

This takes me back to some good memories

So much nostalgia, god I love this game

You sought shelter from the storm, as the sea crashed against both sides of your ship.... that's the moment when you saw the might of nature, and it's merciless temper, when a towering wall of water, taller than any creature you faced before, rose just a few meters in front of your weeping eyes. You didn't hear, saw or felt the moment when everything you knew was swallowed by the rage of the waters... sinking, you cursed yourself... you severed the wings of the king of the skies... you bathed in the blood of the lord of the oceans... yet still... the mother to all got the best of you... did she? In a last breath you opened your eyes to contemplate the deeps that will be your undoing, here, in the darkness, you were face to face, with a true god.

I like to think the intense, but calm and steady flow of the song reflects more on Ceadeus' mindset- a true king of the ocean. Even the name of the song feels accurate- Moonquake / Ceadeus' Fury- kings don't often show outright rage. They're often still orderly with their disposition, striking out when their people are in danger or they themselves are threatened. Ceadeus is a true king of the sea. You are but a peashooter tasked with *somehow* taking this magnificent ruler down. The King who sits upon the Throne of the Abyss. Absolutely badass- and I've only ever seen my girlfriend fight him.

My reactions even before fighting - "oh so im fighting him in a differ*tail shows up* Oh shit! That things huge!"- fist phase -"okay... now what? How do you even damage it?!- Phase 2 *music starts while he is glowing and shooting laser thing* -"OH HELL NO, IM NOT FIGHTING DAT VIKING ASTRAL GOD WHALE THING!, they dont pay me enought for this...*sight*

When I first heard this music I was like “holy shit, this is getting me amped as hell” and it still does, no matter how many times I listen to it

For some reason it really gives me the vibe of an actual “ancient dragon”

I came here for the Nostalgia, who else?

Does Ceadues remind anyone else of a dunkleosteus?

one of my favourite gimmick fights in all of MH, heavly because of this theme song.

I'M GONNA FIGHT THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

To remember the old days of this beast... I'm already a wise old man.

God... Hearing this theme brings back memories.

When I first played Tri I finished all village quests and thought that was it. Till I got wireless internet and connected my wii... found out about high rank then meeting Alatreon. Epic. Every monster hunter I’ve played will always be my treasured game.

I didnt hate underwater fights.... I hated that every underwater monster but Gobul had the same moveset!!!!

First elder dragon I've ever faced

I want this back ...

Nearly 2021, still listening to this 😃

love it

I beat this bastard with TWO seconds to spare. >D

Anyone here for some nostalgia?

"Name: Goldbeard Ceadeus (ナバルデウス亜種) Title: Emperor Ocean Dragon (皇海龍) Average Length: 5837.2cm Average Height: 3575.5cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Depth Dragon Family: Ceadeus Habitats: Ocean, Underwater Ruins" "Goldbeard Ceadeus is the rare golden-colored subspecies of Ceadeus that is considered to be even more legendary. Goldbeard Ceadeus shares many of the same adaptations as Ceadeus, but there are a few differences between the two." "Although Goldbeard Ceadeus's relationship to the standard Ceadeus is unknown, and despite it being considered a subspecies, it's likely the same species as Ceadeus. Goldbeard Ceadeus is most likely just a very old Ceadeus whose body color has changed over the years." "Like Ceadeus, Goldbeard Ceadeus has luminescent bacteria and algae on its body, but, compared to Ceadeus, this subspecies has way more of the bacteria on its skin and algae in its beard." "Goldbeard Ceadeus's body color is theorized to be caused by an excessive amount of luminescent bacteria developing on its skin, making it glow a shiny gold in color, while its beard contains more algae than usual." "Because Goldbeard Ceadeus has more bacteria and algae on its body, it can live in deeper and darker waters without needing to surface for air very often. In fact, Goldbeard Ceadeus likely doesn't have to surface for air at all since it has grown so much algae in its beard." "Noticeably, both of Goldbeard Ceadeus's horns are overgrown and cover the monster's eyes. Despite its eyes being covered, Goldbeard Ceadeus can somehow still accurately "see" the position of a threat. It's unknown if this elder dragon has some other sense that allows it to do so."

this music rlly brings out the game

Here's a list of all the God level monsters (not including the MMO's) Shad Dalamadur: God of Earth Dire Miralis: God of Destruction Ukanlos: God of Ice Akantor: God of Fire Gold beard Ceadeus: God of the Seas Amatsu: God of the Sky Alatreon: God of Chaos Nakarkos: God of Death Fatalis: God of Monster's C.Fatails: God's Hell W.Fatails: God's Heaven Gogmazios: False God I'm I missing anything else?.

The Ceadeus is my favorite monster and his theme is one of the best.

I got goose bumps bring old memorys

This music say you fight against a god

Ceadeus was seriously one of the very few bosses in Monster Hunter that actually felt like a true final battle to the game. Then they brought out another one, Glavenus, and that one felt like another true final battle. I do miss Ceadeus though. I like the final cutscene of Ceadeus before it fleas. Though what would have made it even better of a battle is if Ceadeus trashes the village calling in the aid of even more hunters. Then they could get into a final story tale of the hunters being slaughtered before it's the players turn to take it on. Though nonetheless, it was an amazing battle.

monster hunter, home of beautiful and epic music and epic monsters

Avec l'Amatsumagatsuchi (ouf j'y suis arrivé XD), je n'arrive pas à les départager ! ;'') Que d'EPICS souvenirs !! :''D

The lyrics are like a given SOAD song. I dont know what theyre saying, but ill sing along anyways!

I loved the water combat. actually was a challenge. and with each new Monster hunter, the games get so much easier to play

That was the most interesting way of spelling inspiration that I've ever seen.

This is awesome

Anyone that hunts Ceadeus just for the music?

Holy fuck...this is awesome

One of the best MH soundtrack, hands down.

6 ans déjà 😭😭😭

Ima be honest, when i played this and fought ceadeus for the first time... he hit the top tier list of favorite things to fight along side fatalis, dire miralis (when i fought him) and rajang His arena, his theme... i loved it But then i quite literally flailed my gs around and beaten him on my second try (First try was a fail do to triple carting)

The chills when you face that dragon and the music kicks in... Monster Hunter Soundtracks are just the best.

Also, this takes me back in time, to where I didn't have much worries and responsability as I have now :')

This guy was easy to fight but it had tons of hp.
