A little over a week ago I downloaded Clash Royale to check it out for this sponsorship opportunity.... and now I'm playing it for 2h everyday since then (yea literally, they didnt ask me to say that) Give it a shot it's free! ► wehy.pe/y/8/TeamDarkside

I’m still holding out hope for gogmazios to return in sunbreak with the six limbed skeleton being revamped for gore and shagaru.

Zorah Magdaros may be the bulkiest monster we've had thus far. Shame that the massive-scale turtle was more of a set piece and plot piece in World than a proper fight. Other than that, I think Dalamadur deserves a comeback as serpentine monsters of that scale really haven't been a thing in recent MH games as much.

The developers themselves once said in an interview that underwater in 3rd gen just took way too much development resources. Don't think just making the movesets work underwater; think about any movement, physics, mechanics, or orientation in the water at all. For the most part, underwater combat is mechanically closer to a second game than a feature. Also keep in mind they would not be able to use much from 3rd gen because new mh is incredibly different, far beyond what fans of the games understand. I'm sure they could make it fun, but would the tradeoff even be worth it? I'd guess probably not even close for most people.

I would love to see a Dalamadur sized monster appear in a new MH game.

I really miss Akantor. Such a great fight, not massive, but also not small. And just a powerhouse of a monster, where 1 hit even with the best armour may not be enough to survive. Plus, he just looked AMAZING!

I hope they will return, such amazing Fights and armor Sets. Dalamadur, Jhen Moran, Dire Miralis, Ceadeus, every Single one unique and in modern games these Fights would be absolutely breathtaking. Would love to see underwater combat Return someday.

I still hope for Ahtal-ka to return in future games. Would be really awesome if capcom make a new area for her, different from the fortress ruins, but with new tools for her to use, even to create a new empress throne with some design changes. But yeah, it's unlikely to happen...

Theoretically I think they could reintroduce underwater combat. And I have an idea as to how they could do it, they could have us sink to the bottom with air tanks so we don’t drown the combat would be almost exactly like fighting ibushi and Narwa but with different monsters. It would still be one hell of a design ask

I know Rotten Vale might be the last time we see Dalamadur for a while, but I'm always holding out hope for his return! One of my favorite Seige fights ever, I do wonder if we'll ever get anything else similar to that or Raviente again

The thing is for Dalamadur I had made a compiled list of votes from hunter's choice top monster (variants, deviants, and monsters that were vote split by species were put together into one vote) and Dalamadur ended up in top 20, at 19th place

8:52 this is literally the perfect mh rise monster. If it came back, it would be a massive threat based on how wirebugs work

Siege battles are awesome, but it's true Sunbreak doesn't really have one. Although, I'm surprised you didn't mention Sunbreak's final boss fight, which does have limited siege mechanics and a massive monster comparable in size to the 'Jiiva family or Kulve Taroth.

I would love to see Dire Miralis get a redo of his fight loved it’s designed but it just felt like a flightless Fatalis.

I could argue that narkarkos is a siege monster in some aspects like fatalis and amatsu

Under water hunts could come back, but would have to come via the form of a universal hunting method like a specific underwater weapon or an event type hunt where you're in a submergible or something along those lines.

I’m 99% sure Gaismagorm is bigger than Narwa/Ibushi

Gogmazios is still my favorite fight to date. That arena was so well done and just gog himself having old rusted parts on his body, being able to knock off the dragonator on its back to use it against him, having one person bring powder token and hopefully not missing the one window of time to hit. such an epic fight.

Based off of the trailer dropped for MHWilds, there’s a chance that some of the gargantuan monsters come back. And I really hope we get a fight between them.

Man seeing all the 3U monsters make the list hurt a little. I have fond memories of hunting all of them and I’m never gonna get to again.

Everyone defends their home game, I was introduced to tri when I was around 7. The water combat was perhaps my favorite part, feeling sluggish and small because you were not running on solid ground but swimming with heavy gear. It was pretty neat. It’ll be sad not to see water combat return but I understand why. ❤

Semi Aquatic monsters: Capcom can make Boats a unique way to hunt then using boats similar to Jhen Mohran and Dahren Mohran, if there was a closed area like that with water on it and balissta and and a land and no Swimming mechanic then they will just force us to make use Balista and cannon until the monster comes out for a second phase or something like that.

Ooh sudden idea for Dire Miralis revamp, maybe like Iceborne Fatalis or Safi they could have it so you can only go in the water and attack his body at certain moments when its weakened, like imagine if regularly the water around him would be too hot to be in and you'd take gradual damage as he heats back up.

Imagine they pull what they did with Fatalis in world with Dalamadur in Rise... I'd probs lose my shit- But only if the fight turns out challenging worthy to be the final Elder dragon in rise c:

Let's never say never, last thing I lose is hope and I hope they bring back underwater combat.

Safi Jiiva is for sure NEVER gonna return considering Alatreon and Fatalis already made it go extinct

would love to see akantor and ukanlos in the next game. i dont know why but i love the two

You brought a fire weapon to an underwater fight.

Ceadeus is music wise and majesty wise my fav. Dalam was a fantastic fight. Gogmazios was incredible and the dragonspike glued on his back being part of the fight was genius

It hurts me so much to think Ahtal-Ka won't return (most likely) Ahtal Ka, ironically, is perfect for Rise, since the silk she uses combines perfectly with the wirebug system And because she is really smart, it blows my mind all the possibilities with an ahtal-ka fight in rise sunbreak Can you imagine an Ahtal Ka riding other monsters? Yes, hilarious but, would be awesome If Ahtal-Ka were added in rise, and still maintain her theme and bring back again the XX proof of a hero (definitely the best, no discussion) it would be a really crazy fight, just see the epicity in Ibushi and Narwa allmother

Why has Capcom never partnered with Toho to bring Godzilla as a guest monster? You can replace Lao-Shan Lung and have the Godzilla theme playing in the background and BAM, memorable fight.

I never had the chance to fight any such giant, so I'm still hoping Sunbreak brings one back to test the wirebugs on it, my personal wish would be Shen Gaoren BUT with a fifth gen twist and it wears the Zorah skull. Also WTAF Dalamadur has LEGS!?

I'm just saying, with how much different monster variants have become, I really hope that one day we get a Dire Miralis variant that can control its body temperature and doesn't need to stay underwater anymore.

Minor distinction, but it's important to note that Ahtal-Ka is not actually an Elder Dragon! Despite being a final boss, it is in fact just a very powerful Neopteron.

Imagine the Followers helping you take down Amatsu or Jhen Mohran with rampage artilleries. Man, if only...

of all monsters I hope they bring back, I really want to see Xeno/Safi'Jiiva return in the future... honestly Safi' is starting to become my favorite monster...

if we get a monster hunter game at some point in the future with both underwater combat and super vertical movement (wirebug-esc) that might be dire miralis's only chance to return, similarly with dalamadur for the vertical movement part

Akantor, Gogmazios and Ahtal Ka would be so cool to see come back despite the slim chances

Ever since sunbreak released I've been in the corner quietly chanting "dalamadur!, dalamadur!, dalamadur!" And still am. I just really want to climb it with wire bugs lol.

I started monster hunter with tri then got freedom 2 and unite! I kinda miss underwater fights though I could feel the monsters where more alive in the way the fought both in land and underwater.

The Headless from Sekiro have a land-based and water-based version, but not something that you swap between mid-fight.

Community: "I miss the massive monsters!" Me: "I miss the Underwater biome, and the massive monsters!"

Sunbreak had a massive monster: Gaismagorm

I think it's especially sad that probably almost all Monster Hunter Online/Frontiers monsters won't return. Which is kinda weird since there are a lot of cool ones and a lot of people all over the world are probably not that familiar with them.

Damn. I really miss all those water monsters. Besides Ludroth...they are all gone. Even Lagiacrus.

I’m hoping for a Monster Hunter All Stars game where all these big ones come back, along with the final bosses.

"As if the game had 28, instead of 14 different weapons" MHGU with 84 weapon/style combinations: "Allow me to introduce myself"

Its going to be so funny if one of these is announced today during the direct

Never say never. As tech gets better these guys may return. I didn't play much of the handheld games but did touch on the consoles. Perhaps one day we may get to see them again or remastered titles. I doubt it but I have hope.

I honestly thought the final boss of iceborne was gonna be a Dalamadur since they called what turned out to be Shara Ishvalda “The Old Everwyrm”

Y’know… While fighting Zorah, I never really took into consideration of how huge it really was. All the other massive monsters look so tiny in comparison 😭

When you think on it, the previous games that most of these huge monsters appeared in where in the Nintendo DS/3DS, so they were limited with the hardware. I can understand the underwater monsters, but I really want to be able to fight Dalamadur in some way shape or form. They could potentially do it if they do another console release, not including the Switch.

Not sure if anyone has said it but the first game that comes to mind with me for underwater/above land combat is shadow of the colossus, old game but a phenomenal game

Ceadus was fun, the music and atmosphere is simply memorable.

Starting with Tri, I loved it and missed the underwater combat.

for underwater, they could do what Guild Wars 2 did and have a few select underwater exclusive weapons as a sort of secondary you switch to when underwater

I really love Jhen Mohran armour for female character and it's weapons, especially the bow design

A under water revamped would be cool.

I'd love to see a game where they just keep adding older monsters to the list, and new variations, thats mainly what im hoping will happen with the 6th gen game. Mainly because my 1st experiance with a MH game wasnt till world, and I abosultly fell in love with the franchise, but knowing there are monsters I've never seen or got to take on, makes me wish they were in World or will come back in future installments.

We absolutely have to bring back underwater combat. It's not really an option not to. They can do it better, but cutting out half the biomes in the world isn't realistic if MH is going to survive another generation.

Also on the point of DireMaralis, they could alter the fight to make the monster more interesting, maybe we can't fight it in the water because it's so hot you would die instantly (story explanation) so we drag it or force it onto land with some ships forcing it onto dry land where it could be a challege and make you need a cool drink to survive near it, since it's basiclly a volcano as a monster.

I simply want Safi'jiiva to return, the best dragon design I have ever seen. Not to mention the gear holy f****.

And everyone forgets nakarkos

0:20 "There are 5 monsters that appeared and never came back" Frontier:Hold my beer

Imagine of someday, even if its just a cutscene or background action in a set piece, we get to see a Zorah Magdaros and a Dalamadur enter a turf war

Imagine youre expecting something like a Brachydios or something but they just casually announce a gogmazios or a dalamadur

I guess that the Headless in Sekiro could be considered an ennemy that you can fight both underwater and on land.

maybe the gimic of the next game will be PVP, like people useing monsters to controll and conqor villiages and the new function is to tame some monsters as actual mounts (like Palamutes) but the combat mechanic is an engine like in JEDI Fallen Order with a block/parry with all types of weapons , making PVP possible. You know to save the monsters, what do you think, Team Darkside?

MONSTER HUNTER 6 could get an Endgame siege quest that allows Players to Hunt all Final bosses in previous games.

This was a great video, but I will have to disagree on Ahtal-Ka and Dire Miralis. My counter arguement stems from the fights with Alatreon and Fatalis in World. Those are completely different fights then there originals and I feel the same treatment can be applied to at least these examples, it just requires a new circumstance or situation for both monsters.

personally i’ve start the monster hunter saga with rise but when i see those big boi, it make me fell sad bc i’ll probably never fight them…

Ceadus had the best music, And agnaktor had amazing armor set.

I think Lao will absolutely return in Wilds

If underwater combat never returns...it will not be missed

In Sekiro there is a very inconvenient boss that have two different movesets in and out of water, its called Headless

Man I just want another dalamadur fight. I adore that giant snake, with how improved movement options have become since 4U especially in rise I thought the potential for his return in sun break could have made an incredibly interactive and faster paced reworked fight with wire bugs and general vertical freedom

Ceadeus music is still one of the more epic boss songs. I used to play that music all the time for my son to help him sleep lol. And I want dalamandur back, his weapons are epic

Super mario sunshine has a boss that you fight under water, a giant eel that you have to knock his crusty teeth out. You cant find him on land tho but still that game was insane when I was young

I think Gogmazios would be such a cool final TU elder for the next game’s G expansion. I think they could give it the Iceborne Fatalis treatment and bring it back in a really big way. Otherwise I would also love to see Dalamadur or an updated Lao Shan Lung come back!

Never did I think I would see TDS and CR do a sponsor but here we are

I'm so sad that Lao Shan Lung is probably never going to get a revamp that it deserves. I remember fighting it with a longsword in MHFU, i don't know why, but it's a core memory of mine at this point

I hope monster hunter wild bring some of these monster back and new ones specially after the rumors that i heard that wild might be a open world

If we include frontier (I mean there's hypnoc, volganos, and now espinas in mainline) I couldn't see raviente returning anytime soon

10:14 This sequence just so fking cool..!! Fatalis just fitting the very image of the "Monster" in Monster Hunter title.

4:05 Sekiro has the Headless bosses that show up both above ground and underwater

Did you just forget how big gaismagorm is compared to narwa? Yes he’s dlc but he is huge and in rise, and certainly bigger than narwa

1:35 gogma neeeeeeeds to return, he was so fucking cool, especially with that one "oh shit oh shit oh shit" moment during the fight

12:07 Wouldn't Gaismagorm from Sunbreak count as a *massive* Elder Dragon? When observing its size, it appears to be as large as Dire Miralis and Gogmazios. Also, wouldn't Gaismagorm's quest-layout count as a siege?

What came to mind that has both land and underwater combat is Guild Wars 2. It isn't the most loved thing in the game, but the developers did take their time making different moves for different weapons when underwater. I would definitely love an expansion into MH's underwater content!

I think in paradise they could return some of these monsters just for the heck of it. I know they are basically spectacle fights but they are cool. Could be done with the power of next gen consoles since if they do bring these back they want to have them in special arenas with giant fights.

10:06 noooo, don’t say it, DON’T- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, come on man he’s a black dragon, if he’s not in wilds/wilds dlc he’s gotta be in the next game after that

As much as I want every monster to return in the modern gens and be fightable, it makes sense that the exclusively underwater monsters can't come back due to the development limitations. I hope we'll get a lineup one day with every possible previous monster in it for everyone to fight

1:39 well thats a fucking cool piece of art.

Underwater combat returning is a pipe dream, but it would be amazing if they ever decide to try it again. Until then I'll hold out hope for Dalamadur since that is much more likely

Bold to post this less than 8 hours before a MH Direct.

What they could do is have a new elder dragon that has the ability to control time but its unable to control them and causes monsters both new and old, to appear

i would love paradise to introduce a new weapon that are basically knuckles: fast paced blunt combat with opviosly not as strong blunt damage as hammer but more movement options, faster heal and combat. basically having combos based on being very close but extremely agile, could also have stronger moves incorperating stacking buffs or a winded up punch to topple monsters

Bruh where my Laviente, keoaruboru, Bogbadorm, and Tartaronis?

I know people hate underwater combat but it was fun (well for me at least) but I wish mh rise hat it due to the wire bug we could of moved quickly under the water or in this new monster hunter wilds game coming out next year they could add it due to a item in the hunters arm like the slinger/clutch claw I can see a harpoon like attachment to pull the hunter towards the monster I can imagine harpooning a royal ludroth and being pulled towards it and attacking it

I would love to see underwater water combat return, I understand why it probably won’t but God I miss it and the monsters it came with
