The main reason I want her back is that since the Nesto is built with whatever she can find, they can fully redesign it every generation they bring it back.
u/Rajang82Use all weapons, but love Great Sword the most.2d agoedited 2d ago
Imagine an Ahtal-Ka found herself inside Rotten Vale. What kind of monstrosity she can create with all those skeletons? Especially the huge Dalamadur skeletons.
Even Nakarkos will be jealous with her bone puppetry.
As a Fiver, I think I am ready, can't wait to fight a giant fucking mecha in monster hunter. (if they'd even add that, but i feel this gen might be appropriate to add them) (also imagine the cofused screaming that'd occur when my genmates and the sixers when they first see this thing)
They also have a lot more stuff to build around, with all the broken wyverian stuff scattered about. The lightning rods in the plains, the broken dam and the rain makers in the forests and the tonnes of scrap and forge parts in the basin. Could make it that the younger forms of ahtal Ka are mimicking the Apexes.
Not sure where exactly I fall under the system but as someone who started with world and slammed their sword against anything in my way, bring it at me! I'll kill it by sheer determination and willpower!!
Fourthling, someone young and silly who nonetheless has enough experience by now to appear badass and veteran to puny Fiver newcomers.
First, Second, and Third Generation players are respectfully referred to as Gold, Silver, and Bronze Agers; a more neutral term collectively calls them all 'The Ancients,' and arrogant young newcomers will often simply call them all 'Boomers.'
Ahtal Ka isn't my favorite monster or fight, but it's definitely in my top 5 and I would be absolutely floored if they brought it back. I love all of its weapons, too.
I remember when everyone were saying how cool it would be to fight her in Sunbreak with wirebug skills.
Basically a reflection of the hunter, something small that the larger Elder Dragons might underestimate, using tools and sheer ingenuity to fight each other (especially DRAGONATORS), and using sticky webs offensively.
I always thought one of the more awe inspiring things about Narkarkos was the fact that it uses the remains of its victims as weapons. And this remains are parts of apex monsters such as Lagiacrus, Brachadios, Uragaan, and others. And the fact a Caedaus Skeleton is casually hanging in the background of its lair just shows just how dangerous and nature defying it was.
Nakarkos is absolutely fucking ridiculously strong and I love it. A building sized cuttlefish that cosplays as a two-headed dragon using the bones of its prey, and is intelligent enough to recognize the biological weapons of said prey and will hunt in such a way as to preserve these weapons to take for itself as an equivalent to us players, so it can hunt bigger and stronger monsters. Oh yeah and it also produces enough Dragon element to fire orbital laser strikes 'cuz why the fuck not.
Like, all things considered, Nakarkos's only real threats are fully grown Ceadeus (only one confirmed), Zorah Magdaros, Dalamadur, and Black Dragons. Dude is just that nuts and deserves significantly more recognition and kudos than he gets.
Jin Dahaad can probably stomp entry level Elders like Teo/KD/Chameleos, it's the same size as Kulve Taroth, has an instant kill, can affect regional climate without BS elder powers(he is just a very big heat sink.) Arkveld didn't even try to hunt it.
Gameplay wise it also has more carves than regular Elders.
I can imagine a "Guardian" Ahtal Ka making an appearance; it's just a regular Ahtal Ka that's been fiddling around with Wyveria's tech for way too long, contaminating it with Wylk and making it look like a Guardian, despite being completely natural
I always imagined a variant that utilized bones of wyverns/ elder dragons and with introduction of wylk they could have it utilize construc remains that contains residual wylk, allowing for guardian like abilities.
would be cool if you need kill gog first then ahtal reanimate its corpse and use it without hesitation throwing gog body part or heck just light it on fire and throw it at us then transition to altal fight
I’ve always thought that the Jaeger-building mantis would Turf War the Pacific Rim reject if they ever met… but seeing them team up would be 1000x cooler.
"Oh yeah, I also spotted a new Variant of Yian Kut-Ku as well! It look like a Yian Kut-Ku, but with a more darkish color, and its tail is much longer too, almost like a Rathian-"
"hunter there's reports of zo Shia moving again go investigate these rumors since you slayed zo Shia"
Gets to the arena it's there but something is off it's movement is jittery and twitchy WHEN ALL of a sudden a guardian Athal ka appears from inside it's hollowed out chest spinning wylk threads around its body to puppeteer it
even more horrifying would be an Ahtal Ka using parts of the Guardians and ancient death weapons to create its mech, creating yet another callback to the Equal Dragon Weapon
Seriously tho in GU I'm pretty sure Athal killed or injured entire hunting teams before they managed to lure her into an arena.
Like that one cutscene of hunters on their knees as her nest just casually does what Lao Shan Lung wishes he could have done with the local fortresses is wild.
'I went climbing for some materials earlier, but the mountain felt pretty unstable, so I left, just to be sure. Kinda like it was breathing, haha could you imagine? 😅'
So I more or less had this thought the other day. But mine was Guardian Ahtal-Ka. More or less some “genius” of Ancient Wyveria made an Artian Ahtal-Neset for their Guardian Ahtal-Ka. However they were “smart” and put her far away. But over time she has to travel farther and farther to maintain her Neset until we meet her in the Expansion. We figure out she wants the Dragon Torch to power her Neset and dealing with all that is a nog part of the story. Oh! Sudden inspiration, she’s not the final boss. She the Ruiner Nergi of the story.
Also, I think the ascetic of a Silver Ahtal-Ka with Deep Black eyes would be amazing. Though I will admit this is a pipe dream idea, but if they did it. My Gog.
I'd love for an Expansion where the Dragon Torch's energy, triggered by [insert event here], lures in all kinds of powerful monsters and elder dragons. Imagine fighting Sharah Ishvalda in the Desert!
If we get atal kha i want her to start throwing monsters at you. Imagine you are fighting in the desert and all of a sudden she throws a doshaguma at you.
If it does happen, I hope they are faithful to the lore and have other hunters react exasperated. From what I read, being able to see an Ahtal Ka is super rare and hunters would all leap for the opportunity to hunt it, while being able to hunt it being the equivalent of winning the lottery for their careers.
I think Ahtal Ka would be the most hype addition to the game. I don't think it'll ever happen because it was such a ridiculous gimmick fight, but damn.
Wilds has the potential to be the live service type game that continuously adds every previous monster in title updates if Capcom wants to go that route.
Nata, today you are going to learn that appearances can be very deceiving because no one can be sufficiently prepared for the madness that this mantis can do.
First encounter:ou cool a Mantis Monster with strings. Ou IT can Use the Environment with the silk. Wth is that A Dragonator!! .wait wait wait Its going Untergrund...OMG WHAT is THaT!!!.

It's all fun and games until a bug throws the giant grounding spike from Rey Dau's lair at you.
