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

Ngl. It’s incredibly cool, but also man that dragon did not live up to the hype, like it destroyed the most advanced civilisation the world had ever seen, capable of creating life, terraforming the planet to a point where “the natural order was merely a suggestion” and it has only been growing stronger for a millenia, by absorbing an infinite source of energy, which we considered destroying because fighting that beast wasn’t even considered a fucking option and then we go up to it, decide…yeah nah I can take that and proceed to absolutely destroy the damn thing in 10 minutes flat like it was nothing, still a cool moment, but damn lol

Probably didn't help that it followed arkveld, which was probably the only actual difficult fight in low rank, only to have the final boss be a damage piñata

Ehh Arkveld wasn’t really difficult either, I don’t think I carted once to him, unlike Nergigante in world which straight up bullied me, the only quest I actually failed so far was the HR Jin Dahaad re-fight (oh and an Uth Dune which had unlocked the secret to immortality and simply wouldn’t die before the time ran out)

that big flame attack carted me, the only other monster who did that was the uth duna, so i'd say it lives up to it, even if it kinda is just xeno'jiiva again

I mean yeah, but I meant like this thing destroyed an entire civilisation, but a single hunter can take on a supposedly stronger version of it? How weak was Wyveria

u/LouieSiffer Mar 04 '25

My take is that it only destroyed that one city

u/Sylens01 ​ Mar 05 '25

How does that change anything? And no we know it was the end of the civilisation

From what the other NPCs we've seen said, I don't think they even considered the idea that a human could stand up to them, and even then I doubt any human could be a hunter.

Still, it was more of a damage sponge than a real fight. Arkvel's may not have been the hardest for experienced players, but at least I enjoyed it a lot more.

Wyveria was probably pretty weak, actually. Likely as a civilization existing for ages without major threats, they didn't develop much in the way of weapons, as they largely had no need for them. Then another civilization sees this martial weakness, and declares war. Scrambling to defend themselves, they build biological superweapons without time to think "what will we do if they turn on US?"

By contrast the Hunters' guild has been killing monsters for decades. It has taken the time to painstakingly develop the tools, knowledge, and expertise to deal with large-scale threats and is extremely competent at it to the point of specialization. Wyveria may have been a civilization without peer, but it was not a civilization that had everything. And the Guild has exactly what Wyveria lacked: skilled hunters and countermeasures for big angry dragons.

Yeah i love the game but it’s wayyy too easy if you’ve played MH before. They keep making us stronger while monsters can’t keep up
