Arch Tempered Velkhana's Theme - MHWI OST (PC Extract) 

I love how this theme is reminding everyone that Fatalis is the sendoff of the whole game (World/Iceborne). But Velkhana is ICEBORNE's farewell fight, like it's right for it to be.

My heart goes out to this poor dragon. Outdone by Shira ishvalda for the plot, and ruiner steals the show at the end. And now with the final update the AT version is finally coming, only for fatalis and alatreon to distract hunters from fighting it. You deserved much more, my icy friend.

"AT Velkhana is easy" said the lbg sticky ammo user wearing fatalis armor

Time to remember why this MH is called Iceborne.

This theme combined with the image just screams.... "Don't forget me."

I like how this is Velkhana theme, mashed up with all the key Iceborne themes in order, while storyline ending theme notes play almost though the entirety of it. This is it. This is the "farewell" fight of Iceborne, and the last memory to remember it by.

Velkhana is one of the most underrated monsters. After the beta everyone forgot about it and that's sad because it's technically a flagship monster of iceborne

Fatalis was cool and all but this is more like my personal final battle of Iceborne. Feels like a battle of farewells.

1:37 this part feels sad like the adventure is over. what a great adventure it was.

1:37 Love that part, just something about it that hits just right.

"The place where Winter sleeps."

It's kind of poetic that the last place you fight velkhana is on the same are where you fight it for the first time

This sounds like a nostalgic end to everything I began with.

AT Velkhana froze the door, crashed through it, and came to remind everyone where Iceborne got its name from. Even with full Fatalis armor and the most optimized set for damage possible, if your not positioned correctly, you’ll be turned into a popsicle in no time flat.

I actually cried when I finally finished AT Velkhana's quest, because I know we won't be getting a game like World/Iceborne for a very, very long time. Such a great game.

We have to admit, Capcom did a good job on World and Iceborne

Once we slay AT Velkhana that's it, the send-off of Monster Hunter World and Iceborne. It has been an honor, Hunters, happy hunting! Edit: So first, great to see so many passionate hunters, second I am very much aware AT Velkhana might not be the end, but as it stands Vel and possibly Safi are the last monsters, events will continue, I never said they wouldn’t. Anywho, good hunting against AT Velkhana she freaking tough! 🗡

I don't know you guys, but this is like reminding me that Velkhana is the queen of Iceborne.

She is by far THE most Elegant Elder of the series

This dragons kick my ass so hard during beta that i consider him my arch rival throught the game. Now, with fatalis met his fate yesterday. Our last battle will be legendary

It sounds so regal.

sounds like fighting a ballerina that wielding two knives

I really like that it has the Beginning of "Nay! The Honor is all Ours," in the beginning.

Velkhana’s like “I’m going to remind you why this expansion’s name is Iceborne”

I honestly really love this monster and fighting it is really fun, it’s too bad it easily gets overshadowed by Fatalis and Alatreon, I had to farm Velkhana for crystals and enjoyed every second of fighting it. Velkhana truly deserves more recognition from the community.

I feel bad for the people who don't know you...

This quest and music is essentially Velkhana inviting you to a final showdown, the last duel as if enticing you asking to show how much you’ve grown as a hunter in this glorious battle. I’ve always loved Velkhana and sad they were never more important to the plot, but appreciated nonetheless.

Wish the AT themes for Nergigante and Velkhana would become their main themes going forward, they're too good.

AT Velkhana is basically saying, “WE aren’t done yet, WE have one last hunt. So let us end it ALL” To put things into perspective, AT Velkhana came after Fatalis in the timeline, meaning if these AT hunts are in any way canon then we don’t know if the hunters survive THIS hunt.

I honestly didn’t like it at first, but I gotta be honest, Velkhana has grown on me. Probably like my 4th favorite flagship.

Holy crap this theme is absolutely amazing. Takes normal velks theme and makes it powerful and worthy of the queen of the ice. Its beautiful

This fight is poetry. After soloing Alatreon and Fatalis, I felt like I’d won. I felt that I was well equipped and skilled enough to take on anything in the game, and realistically I was. I finally decided to try out this quest and man, the first few notes of the music really showed me that this was more than I had expected. It wasn’t long before I started noticing how tough this was going to be, and more importantly that despite everything beforehand I was still imminently in danger. But I won, with two minutes on the clock and with a heart rate the game hadn’t made me feel since Fatalis. One last dance at the place where Winter sleeps.

Velkhana is coming to RISE!

As an audio lover thank you for you uploads. Audio matters. I'm updating my OST playlist with your uploads whenever possible.

"I got full Fatalis armor! That thing can't hur-" *Losts 70% Health by getting tail poked.*

I love the crystal kinda sounds during the theme, adds a lot to the final result

This music fills me with motivation. I have come a long way since starting MHW, and become an expert a number of weapon types and adept in the rest. The one I started with and mained all the way through base MHW was my bow, and it holds a special place in my heart. When AT Velkhana reveals herself, I will pick up my bow once more, and end MHW the way I began it. One final challenge.

I hope they still decide to put in AT Blackveil and AT Ruiner Regardless tho, it has been one hell of a ride through this game and I'm thoroughly hyped for the next installment that is Rise. MHW will always be my most hyped game franchise introduction, and I'm glad to be a part of the MH community.

SHES BACK

I so badly wish I was good at animation I always make up scenes in my head for songs and other media that play out like movies, and this is no exception I just don’t have the capacity to animate well (or the time [or the stuff needed]) Example: hunter sits with Velkhana for a bit, reminiscing with them. After realizing they’ve been rambling, the hunter stands and says “...May I have this dance?” and bows before Velkhana. Velkhana accepts, they take their positions at 0:00-0:12, and the battle begins

this is such a beautiful sounding theme i swear

Velkhana's theme is definitely drawing inspiration from Mars of Holst's Planets. You can hear the iconic rhythm in the cellos, and also some bits of the brass parts are really reminiscent of the brass part in Mars.

I just love the themes from AT Velkhana and AT Nergigante. Both inspire the hunter and represent the monster completely. But what I like the most is the real difference between the two: AT Nergi theme basically says in your face: “This is my world, this is my game, no stupid shit. Face me if you can, because I'll punch your face really hard” This theme talk about a really challenge, between Nergi and the Hunter, an brutal battle, just like the elder dragon it represents. But AT Velkhana's theme says something completely different. It's graceful and cold, but it's also reminiscent of memories, fights, monsters, and even dialogue all your way through, not just Iceborne, but the entire game. The fight is a beautiful memory, where both try their best not to be forgotten. And at the end of the fight, the theme also says something else, as does Velkhana himself: “Don't forgive me. Don't forgive your journey.” Capcom made a beautiful work.

I'm so excited of the new Variant that will come to Sunbreak. Let's hope that it will be somewhat comparable in difficulty to AT Velkhana.

One final hunt before Rise...

Normal Velkhana : Sword dance-off with a creature elegant and lethal as the winter Arch-Tempered Velkhana : "This. Is. The. Last. And. The. Emperor. Of. Iceborne."

Wut? I didn't even know her theme was here. The wait is no longer here thanks man!

everyone be like: fatalis oraghbjhb and then theres this masterpiece

My ranking on Velkhanas difficulty goes: 1st. AT Velkhana 2nd. Hazard Velkhana 3rd. Sunbreak Velkhana 4th. Iceborne Velkhana

2:07 “Now i aint messin’ wit u no more.....”

I feel so much nostalgia from listening to this already ;-; thank you Iceborne for paving the way to more top tier monster hunter games to come next

God, I hope there is a mount theme of this.

Wow this theme really exceeded my expectations. Very regal, elegant, nostalgic and like a perfect farewell/send-off

1:37 this part gives me chill, man

I must have listened to this a hundred times! The devs put so much love into world/iceborne, the fact they even remixed monsters themes at all shows the level of commitment they had to the game and the amount of hours us hunters put in shows just how much we love iceborne and world! Thanks again for posting this

I don’t know why people say Velkhana is overshadowed. Velkhana started the whole freakin adventure for Iceborne. Her armor is extremely good, and I spent a lot of time fighting many battles with her. Finished fighting AT Velkhana last night and man they did her justice. Such a fun fight

I absolutely love this monster, my favourite elder to fight ever.

1:20 give me faith! That orchestral part is so magic

I don't know how to describe it but this theme sounds like if the sound itself is freezing but struggling to beat the cold and keep going, it's just magical

I was gonna comment that I just want the piano part to loop indefinitely but thankfully my brain has already taken care to play it over and over in my head :)

You never fail to deliver sir Michael

I really do like the additional flutes, piano notes and atmospheric moans put into this one. It gives it a bit of a reminiscent edge to go nicely with the end of World.

1:37 i don't know i feel a feeling with my favorite Final fantasy (the 13 and don't care if u hate it its my favorite)

Iceborne's End, Made me cry when I realized it was over but i'm excited to ride Velkhana into battle in Wings of Ruin

Here we go again- let the shit snow begin

The final battle against the Ice Queen, ending the game that got me into the series as a whole. Im looking forward to this as a grand finale to my favorite game of all time

This is... This is beautiful...

Am I the only one who thought this was actually the hardest fight ever in MHW

I'm actually having withdrawals after 2k glorious swag axe hours spent on mhw/iceborne 😭 somebody invent a machine that wipes select memories so I can go back and experience the best few years I've ever had gaming again........

Did u knew That they went very detailed on Velkhana The first one was Nergigante But they went a extra mile with Velkhana From grabbing a lot of sounds of ice and crusts breaking To actually recording how ice break and explodes and even grows. How it will grow on Velkhana For me My favorite element is ice And seeing how deep and beyond they went with iceborne

1:19-1:37 the final moments of the New World, as the icebloom melts and snowflakes shatter 1:37-2:02 Velkhana: "Time is running out Hunter, your next hunts await. Be prepared and be on your way, of course after paying your due respects to ME. Show me the skills that conquered my Hinterlands"

Came back after a while, when I first fought Vel, I died 30 times and gave up but I got this chick down solo now, yay

It was fun fighting tbe ice queen, getting stuck on her hunt for a bit and then finally ending it. Shes definitely a fun fight, and I love her design too.

The best theme for Velkhana out of the 4 variations.

Shara ? Safi ? Alatreon ? Fatalis ? Yes , they are very powerful monsters but the final enemy always has to be the flagship monster

This is such a step up from her regular theme

This is so cold that it has reached quantum critical, you can hear electrons

I still soloing this AT Velkhana everyday never get bored, my favorite monster.

when velkhana gets a variant i hope it plays this theme or atleast a revision of this theme

Something people forget about: Barring multi element elders. Velkhana is the strongest ice element elder as kushala does wind it just so happens to use wind on ice usually giving it icy properties.

AT Velkhana is a masterpiece. I love this monster. My favorite in the whole game

oh my gog this theme is beautiful! This is all I ever wanted after Iceborne launched and it's finally here!

Velkana was the monster that made me realise that the dragons arent just stupid creatures.

Seeing the small clip we got this AT monster will have a lot more changes that previous ones and i wonder if they will make me cart as much as fatalis, probably not but this final challenge will be one im gonna have fun with.

I find beauty where no one else does.. Edit: I have never felt so much appreciation for a game. I started up with monster hunter 2 for the psp. I played monster hunter for most of my life. So it’s kinda sad that we won’t get another one for awhile. By the time the next one comes out who know’s where we will be. I hope we all find our way back in the next world to hunt once again.

holy shit this song is a banger

Very imposing, but in a refined manner.

In some parts of the song you really get a sense of finality, that the end is coming and coming quickly for one of you. That and during the theme there are bits of all three of Velkhana'd themes blended in. This is a great way to end the expansion. Amazing fight as well, a nice challenge even in end game gear, she is relentless.

This is such a fun and intense fight. I think I never loved a game more than this one.

Risen is a much better system then Arch tempered in my opinion but oh boy does some of the arch tempered themes sound good. Music can really set the tone of the fight and If Risen had their own rendition it would bring them up to the next level.

Now I can fight Velkhana in Sunbreak!😌

AT Velkhana's theme feels worthy of a final boss. Truly fitting for what AT velky represents

My friends and I hated Velkhana at first. But as the hunt went on she too grew onto us. The majesty she presents and the beauty of her icy attacks. She's a wonderful flagship. I have yet to battle Arch...but I look forward to one last dance in the New World. She awaits at Elders Recess from what I can tell...same as where she was first met.

The Queens Medley

this song ends iceborn so well....

Sounds right out of Kingdom Hearts.

A great theme for the main series's first true Ice elder dragon, and a challenge that rivals the black dragons

This is a reminder that this is not Shara’s or Fatalis’ DLC, but Velkhana’s.

this sounds like a sinister version of "nay the honours all ours"

My new fav monster themes. Velkhana is my second fav elder Dragon. 1st is tied between valstrax and shagaru
