@@DeltaDaspleto probably a made up lore or more like fan theory/speculation towards Duremudira that somehow got popular among the fans. Because I don't believe that BannedLagiacrus is lying when making tweets of various monsters lore.
Pretty much. With how extra the current mainline Elder Dragon and regular monster designs are, Duremudira's design doesn't stick out like a sore thumb any longer, imo. Its compound insect-like eyes aren't the weirdest thing that a MH's monster could have, when we have the Leviathan Balahara from MH Wilds with freakish jaw formation and multiple small eyes like that of Scallop around said jaw. Its pitch fork tail have a competitor that is Malzeno's three pronged spear tail which can also be used to grab things like an additional hand. Its wings doesn't look as outlandish when we have wings like that of Astalos, Valstrax's jet thruster wings and the still yet to be named Thunder elemental Flying Wyvern from MH Wilds.
"Previously in Monster Hunter Frontier G6, the limited-time monthly Sky Corridor Expedition was added to Frontier. In that update and beyond, hunters could only explore the first district of the Sky Corridor. In G8, the second district was added to Monster Hunter Frontier." "Hunters need to be HR5 (HR100) and TR51 (Tower Rank) to enter the second district of the Sky Corridor, and this part of the Tower is much deadlier than the first district. New traps and puzzles can be found in the second district, as well as some never before seen monsters." "Although the second district is more dangerous than the first, new stronger materials can be found in the Sky Corridor to craft new equipment such as this armor." "The second district of the Sky Corridor wasn't the only thing that got deadlier. After its appearance in G6, Duremudira reappeared in the second district of Sky Corridor. In G8, Duremudira got stronger." "After sustaining a certain amount of damage, this "second district" Duremudira will begin to use new attacks before falling to the ground as if it has been slain. A few seconds after it stops moving, cold air will fill the room and freeze over the whole area." "Once it has reawakened, this Duremudira demonstrates newfound mastery over ice and poison. At this point, Duremudira is easily one of the strongest monsters in all of Monster Hunter, and some hunters consider it stronger than even Disufiroa." *Source: BannedLagiacrus Twitter page*
Duckweed's Quality Crap What’s even more hilarious is that he can f*cking SPAM that God forsaken attack. Ah yes, let’s just have that dragon spam as much toxic nuke lasers as he wants...
Phase 1: ok, this dragon seems really strong Phase 1 part 2: ok, this is hands down the hardest fight i've ever had in all my hunting career, but it can't possibly get worse. Still doable. Phase 2: i'm dead
How ironic that we once considered this guy the Guardian of the Sky Corridor, when all it did was show up, slaughter the inhabitants, and make the tower its lair.
The Elder Dragon got a better title than "Guardian of the Sky Corridor" anyway, which is the "Emperor Ice Dragon". Practically more in tune with its true nature as an Elder Dragon, rather than a guard pet dog of the people who once lived in the tower, like many of us have had assumed before in the past.
@@ungabungasaed3903 Boi Nergigante got fucked up by Shara Ishvalda on its own and only won in the end by stealing the hunter’s kill after the hunter beat its ass for half an hour. Duremudira killed Elder Dragons tougher than Nergigante before it was even a species in the New World.
"Unidentified corpses have been discovered in the Sky Corridor belonging to an unknown species. What kind of Elder Dragon could be living in the Sky Corridor, and how was it able to drive off the ancients that lived there originally?" "Only one beast stands above all others in the Sky Corridor. The "Guardian of the Sky Corridor" is a powerful Elder Dragon that originally didn't have a name, and is now known to the Guild as Duremudira, the Emperor Ice Dragon." "Duremudira is a complete mystery to the Guild. Many things about it are unknown, but they figured out this monster is the reason why the ancient people that lived in the Sky Corridor abandoned the tower. It broke into the massive structure and made it its lair." "It's unclear where Duramudira's original habitat is, but the Guild isn't sure where to even begin looking. No ancient documents exist of Duremudira, so learning about the monster is quite literally a nightmare." "Although very little is known about Duremudira, hunters that have challenged the Elder Dragon report all sorts of things about it." "Duremudira is a master of ice and uses cold air to freeze moisture around its environment. It can freeze whole rooms in the Sky Corridor, trapping hunters with it and preventing them from leaving its lair. If a group is underprepared, this monster likely will be their final hunt." "Compared to most monsters, Duremudira is extremely aggressive and violent. Once it has sights on intruders, it'll do everything in its power to make sure their death is gruesome, and it'll relentlessly attack them without any mercy. Truly, Duremudira is a demon." "The most terrifying part about Duremudira is not only his mastery of ice and aggression but its poison. When near death or when it senses a threat is stronger than it anticipated, Duremudira will unleash a deadly poison and combine it with its ice." "This "Corrupted Poison" (Japanese 壊毒) not only drains a hunter's health at a rapid rate but it also lowers their armor's defense, making it a lot easier for Duremudira to finish off its opponents. To cure this poison, hunters need to drink a Wonder Drug." "Most of the hunters that have faced it have never returned, showing how dangerous this monster is. Only a handful of experienced hunters were able to slay or repel a Duremudira, and doing so isn't an easy task. Rumor has it that Duremudira isn't even using its full strength." "According to Frontier's Producer, Duremudira's appearance is meant to resemble a violent demonic force of pure evil. Originally, Duremudira would gradually gain new parts, such as its wings, as its fight went on." "In terms of strength and power, Duremudira is comparable to Conquest War, and even Solstice War, monsters, including Disufiroa. Some say that Disufiroa and it are equals. Though Disufiroa has more health, Duremudira's hyper-aggressive nature and attack power make it deadly." "To this day, Duremudira remains the one of the most popular monsters in all of Monster Hunter Frontier. It is second only to the Unknown (Black Flying Wyvern)." *Source: BannedLagiacrus Twitter page*
Ngl, this monster definitely made me believe that Monster Hunter Apocalypse story. Was not surprised at all that this thing was what made the ancient civilization leave the corridor.
I find it interesting that gen 5 has been slowly sneaking confirmation of the original setting ideas in the games. I hope gen 6 or even Sunbreak does more with it
Yeah so i saw the comparison to Nergi in the comments. In which dimension is nergi against dure a fair fight?? Nergi may be physically strong and all, but Duremudira is probably one of the only "normal" elder dragons, who can beat a Black dragon to a Standstill. Nothing is more potent and scary than waves of poison combined with ice/electricity, colossal physical Power and probably the most aggression out of all monsters combined . So yeah Nergi would probably instinctively flee.
I think that if we look at dure without the lens of absurd frontier power scaling, he and nergi would make a good fight. Dure gameplay wise might be on the same power level as black dragons, but in canon he’d get his shit rocked by any of them. I think that dure would win, but it wouldn’t be an easy fight. Arrogant duremudira vs ruined nergigante would be one of the sickest fights in mh. Praying that one day we can get a turf war.

People still overhyping Nergi, huh? Never understood why, it's tough and all, but nothing incredibile. A Magnamalo, for example would probably attack it on sight and cause heavy damage, while a Scorned Magna could probably kill both the regular species and the Ruiner variant, so i don't know...
@@Haxxlim Duremudira, Eruzerion, and Shantien are elder levels that reach far beyond regular elders. What could Ruiner do against base Duremudira (no way its reaching Arrogant stregth) when Duremudira is just as if not stronger physically, faster, and has many more abilities at its disposal? Downplaying the fact Duremudira is questioned in lore to be a black dragon level threat to give Nerg a fair chance is lame
@@reshi606 I happen to like the newer themes they have a more natural feel to them i still like the old themes but to me the world themes are better and if they change the fight ill simply have something new to look forward to
@@NeocrimsonX too much optimism can be bad. Look at Teostra's theme. The old world fit perfectly. It sounded kingly and eccentric, fitting since it's one of the most aggressive monsters in the main series. Now World's Teostra theme is slow and royal, which fits better for Lunastra, but not at all Teostra. They also switched Teostra's and Lunastra's ecology in World. The entire mh universe got a soft reset in MHWorld.
