Do you remember the old Akantor? 

Indeed, pity there were no G rank gears for him. The quest shown here isn't the G rank DLC tho, although maybe I misunderstood.

@@Sarissa99 The DLC with a G-rank Akantor was called "High Altitude King". Peppo was doing the regular high-rank quest, you are right, my mistake. G-rank Akantor gave only high-rank materials along with an item to make the G-blade, a G-rank GS which was unfortunately way weaker than the Diablos, Ukanlos and Shen Gaoren GSs.

I think the backup plan for getting akantor from the front is to roll through his left arm that comes out first on the charge

He was in freedom 2. Unite was Ukanlos

IIRC, Akantors descended from a common anscestor of Tigrex and the like. That explains the similar anatomy and the little vestigial wing nubs still present on its forearms. And since the Guild knows their evolutionary origins, they are able to be placed under a specific class rather than just being Elder Dragons.

Isnt he still flying wyvern

​@@christiancinnabars1402 i didn't know that

Bruh Moment.

Ukanlos is also labeled as flying wyvern

What means "to cart"?

@@Omega-AlexGt getting "killed"

@@aproudbaguette3605 Thank you for explaining, that's great👍🏼

​@@Omega-AlexGt when you die the cats bring you back on a cart/gurney. i actually cant remember if you do in rise but i can't imagine they removed it. i played rise yesterday and cant remember 😂😂

I feel you bro. But I do have a friend to play with but they're sucks so I just solo most of the time.

@@reivaldoaurelio4895 it's not really a feelsbadman for me cuz I don't mind going solo. It's what I'm used to and good at. I feel four times as accomplished whenever I beat a new monster for the first time. And I get to say I've beaten almost every monster in existence completely by myself.

​@@reivaldoaurelio4895 soloing all hub quests build character (and skill)

@@lecommenter8528 less the fun though.

@@reivaldoaurelio4895 its quite fun feeling accomplished, but i can only speak on my behalf

Imagine an akantor type monster but in the desert. Would be pretty cool

@Joe, you mean mhoran?

@@zukunamatata no, Tartaronis

Odibatorasu too

Agreed. Alot of people are blinded by nostalgia elitism because they do s*ck in the old games..

That also happens with head locking(or other weak parts) in the classic games. But not everyone can do a speedrunning strat, unlike 5th gen where everyone can trip and topple a monster alot.

@@Reymax164 his gear is beyond a 9 star monster? 🤔

@@ivansesaldo1676 I don't actually remember 😆

@@ivansesaldo1676 I think his set are G rank. and this Akantor could be just a High Rank or village quest. Edit: Maybe no, if there's a cutscene, it means it's his first time hunting it in the playthrough. 🤔

His weapons were really interesting- godly raw, huge affinity, but trash sharpness lol

spiky boi is fucked

Nerg would become a chew toy.

You mean, furious rajang? He asshole monster, hitbox always appears in the nowhere

Yeah, make bludgeoner great again

In Second Generation there is no Spirit Roundslash, which means you can’t level up your Spirit Gauge because there’s no such mechanic. The last hit of Spirit Blade III is the strongest one.

@@PeppoLS back when LS was just a Greatsword with faster attack combos

It's taxonomically closer to monsters like Tigrex and Nargacuga than anything else. I believe you can see vestigial wing membrane on Akantor from when his species actually did fly if I'm not mistaken

@@baritonamekian3639 I watched a video too explaining it being a flying wyvern loosing its wings due to evolution. But just like diablos who has wings but rarely even use it for its intended purpose but instead he use it for digging along with its horns which is weird because the wings didn't evolve like what akantor went through. What capcom should do if they ever bring back akantor (which is unlikely) is reclassify it as other categories of wyverns like brute (it fits perfectly since elder dragons often challenge it for territorial reasons which is a big flex for a wyvern) just like bulldrome from herbivore to fanged beast. To end things off akantor being a flying wyvern is kinda stupid since those the wings already evolved into claws.

Akantor is bigger flying wyvern

What’s ATM?

Every monster looks easy to beat as long as Peppo or another TDS member is fighting them. 😂

@@miiverseisdead4942 thats very true tho😆
