MH Wilds “Hunter, the Guild authorizes” is so damn cool Spoiler

The handler in wilds feels so much less like some sidekick and more of a HANDLER. Like, we’re the guild’s blade and she is the hand that guides us. The guild has given her FULL AUTONOMY to act on their behalf, and she alone can decide what we are hunting. The lines also came at really good times during cutscenes and overall just fed the vibes lol. Especially the final fight of low rank? SHIVERS

Which are enhanced by our interactions with the people who've never conceived of the concept of a hunter before. To most of these people, monsters are a force of nature, to be avoided and endured, not challenged. Then we roll up, and clobber the local equivalent of a massive thunderstorm in the face.

"A pack of wild beasts is rampaging through our village. Our way of life as we know it is doomed."

"Yes I understand but i have an axe that, get this, transforms into a sword"

All due respect to the musical brethren, but the true sight is a hunter waddling into town with a tank cannon and plating in hand.

Side note have wyverians always referred to our weapons as relics?

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '25

Don't know if it's referred as relics but hunter weapons have always been described as "ancient technology" by wyverians. If I remember correctly it's technology that got invented by ancient civilization that guild has then recreated from old blueprints. (Might be wrong tho. Correct if I miss remembered)

Some of the 'newer' weapons (SA, CB) are implied to be constructed using blueprints unearthed from ancient civilization ruins, but that's not the point. The Wyverian point is we're still using analog, mass-and-inertia physics-dependent weapons instead of using superior technological weapons (that they presumably still have).

Shame the story didn't expand on that.

I see. TBH MH has so much cool lore. I wish they would give us more info about the world and it's history. Even being a fan since Freedom 2 I feel like I still don't know much about the actual world of monster hunter.

The supposed lore dump at the end of LR was enough for me. I’ve been wanted to see that for 15 years!!

Well, if you wish for that this is the game you have been waiting for. It just throws so much lore at you than any other MH game. Lore that you would normally have to get from other sources like art books.

Hopefully they continue with this through the title updates and eventual DLC because I. AM. LOVING IT!

Wait...

Are we in 40k?

Are we just some Off-the-Path Deathworld and the 'Blueprints' are just STCs?

"And that other guy?"

-points to friend in coop-

"Hes a got a sword and shield, that turns into an AXE, that spins and slices things, then obliterates things to atoms"

u/TheGreyGuardian ​ Mar 02 '25

"And what about that guy? Does his sword and shield turn into an axe too?"

"No, it's just a sword and shield."

"Whoa..."

"??"

u/Technical_Exam1280 Mar 03 '25

"That guy joined our party with his sword."

"You mean his sword and shield?"

"No, just sword."

"Certainly, you mean his charge blade."

"Or his switch axe."

"Dual blades?"

"No, just his...sword."

...

"This guy is weird."

*villagers run in panic as some insect thing flies over them*

"No worries, it's just an Kinsect of that guy over there with Insect Glave, he plays 'floor is lava' and talks with beetles"

u/LouieSiffer Mar 04 '25

"what's with the guy that carries a tower of metal on his back"

"Oh he is our lancer, his shield can block poison clouds and supernovas, and hits from monsters 1000x his weight"

u/georgeofjungle3 Mar 03 '25

We aren't really sure why that guy keeps trying to sharpen his hammer, but I've seen what he can do with it, so I ain't calling him on it.

u/SuperFightinRobit Mar 03 '25

"what about that guy?" 

"Oh him? He's got a sword and shield that, get this, LETS HIM USE ITEMS WITH HIS WEAPON UNSHEATHED."

" Wooow. That's incredible."

“This monster is an unstoppable demon responsible for annihilating the most advanced civilization that has ever existed.”

“That’s what you’ve said about the last six monsters… are you SURE it’s not just another low rank monster?”

“…maybe.”

Its kinda hilarious how everyone debate the ethical dilemma for the final boss and we just solve it by killing it
