The two elders that steer the events of Sunbreak share a unique relationship with the parasitic qurio. But how did this come about and whatn impacts has it had on each host?

gaismagorm is one of the best cases of double theming a monster not destroying it's identity but enhancing it, the giant burrower for animal theming and the devil for mythological one. you could definitly see how someone in the monster hunter world looked at and said this thing is evil incarnate.

I think I like to view Amatsu and PriMalzeno being the bow of their respective arcs if that makes sense. On one hand Amatsu ends the Kamura arc and on the other, PriMalzeno closes out the Sunbreak arc especially with that little closure Fiorayne got when we helped the monster instead of outright killing it in the cutscene, which was a breath of fresh air for the series after Ceadeus imo.

The idea behind Primordial is that it’s the knight/paladin Dracula once was before he became a vampire. We’ve known for a while that the base Malzeno wasn’t always the way it was, we just didn’t know what it looked like until the final update, which I personally like since we know what it normally looks like. I’m also like 99% sure Primordial was meant to be in the same update as Amatsu and Risen Shagaru, but they wanted to extend the game’s lifespan a little bit longer.

I just imagine this vast cavern network so deep underground no natural light can reach, but between bioluminescent algae in the water and moss on the wall and brilliantly shining veins of luminent ore alongside small magma flows light does still exist. Huge waterways carve many of these tunnels, inhabited by bizarre sightless piscine wyverns and axolotl-like leviathens, while other tunnels are carved by the beasts themselves. Some made through the explosive burrowing methods of a mole-cricket/bombardier beatle hybrid, othets by hulking elder dragons such as Shara Ishvalda, Gaismagorm, and even Kulve Taroth forcing their way through the earth. In place of plants there exists a monstrous assortment of fungi and algae that form the base of the ecosystem, feeding on the unique ores exposed by all these creatures burrowing.

I'm starting to think that the Great Dragon War may be a myth of sorts that the Guild either outright fabricated or an existing one that the Guild encourages the spread of, since it encourages people to respect nature, lest they incur nature's wrath in the form of the elder dragons. IIRC, the real reason the Ancient Civilization fell was because they over-hunted monsters to such a degree that every single ecosystem they exploited just outright collapsed. Perhaps there WAS a spike in conflicts between people and elder dragons (like Gaismagorm) as the planet's natural balance became more and more unstable, but not enough to be a deliberate war. More likely, the Civilization might have simply destroyed itself as the resulting environmental chaos made obtaining resources next to impossible. But how can you explain such complexity to uneducated folk who don't have the time or the energy to read the research, especially those who live in or near cities not a part of the frontier - places like Verudo and Riveru? It's far easier to simply use the fear of a war against beings beyond mortal comprehension to keep them in line.
@Calluctus

Here's my take on malzeno and it's primordial form, I believe they are both members of the same species: but, 'standard' malzeno is a malnourished member of the species. I believe this is because of two things, the quiro taking a toll on malzeno since it has not yet evolved to be a 'perfect host' like gaisamagorm and or because it isn't actually eating. Sure, the qurio can provide it with the energy to keep it alive but it isn't getting the nutrition it needs to regain its superior bulk. The reason why I think malzeno doesn't just die from the infection or become risen like a normal elder dragon is because it may have an evolutionary resistance to it, which initially worked in its favor since the quiro couldn't drain it dry, but after gaisamagorm went underground the remaining quiro quickly realized that malzeno wasn't dying like other elders or standard monsters. With whatever intelligence the quiro have they probably could connect the dots that malzeno can handle them without being driven into a madness before death (to a degree), considering how determined they seem to make primordial malzeno a host. Even swarming in mass to aid the creature when significantly injured. Malzenos evolved resistance after feeding off the quiro, and other coincidental evolutionary adaptations make it a wonderful host. For the quiro atleast, malzeno himself looks sick and frail compared to primordial. Likely having been infected for so long it either can't feed normally or quiro altering it's behavior to the point it doesn't want to. This is all just theory junk though and I could be HORRIBLY wrong

This is off-topic, but I absolutely adore the design of Primordial Malzeno, as well as its name too. Excellent design overall. Also since it's pride month, I think Malzeno is meant to be a bisexual elder dragon. Its design uses the colors of the bisexual pride flag (primarily purple and pink) so it's clearly meant to be a bisexual icon for the Monster Hunter community, so it being a queer-coded LGBTQ monster is definitely canon. Its killing of Rathalos (a symbol of heteronormativity) in its intro cutscene is definitely intentional for that reason

I really like your idea of overhunting Malzeno accidentally causing a massive spike of Gaismagorm surfacing events, as it pretty nicely handles how a collapse of the ancient civilization could occur, while also emphasizing the series' themes of attempting a balance with nature. Though I get the impression those who actually want an ancient dragon war envision it more like a horde of monsters besieging a fortification with hunters mowing them down with turrets or something. Ignore the familiar thoughts in the back of the mind.

Since the Qurio virus is stated in-game to be related to the frenzy virus, that means that a frenzy-ridden monster must've somehow ended up in the caves and infected a qurio colony, and eventually that strain of the frenzy virus mutated into the virus that causes Bloodblight, which has a combonation of mutations, or just one, that can (to a limited capacity) allow it to bypass the dragon-energy-ridden immune systems of elder dragons and cause them to become viable hosts like Primordial Malzeno and Gaismagorm, or Risen Elders like Chamy, Kushala and Teo (which are qurio virus survivors much like the survivors of small pox irl), as well as long term hosts like base Malzeno (where the Qurio seem to have gotten stripped it's tougher scales to allow easier access to it's blood), and unviable hosts which comprise basically any large monster that isn't an elder dragon.

A theory I once had was that Qurio can actually exist in far smaller colonies, ones where their numbers are few enough that they can function as less destructive parasites. Though that does feel weaker after Primordial Malzeno, where the Qurio appeared pretty intent on making it a 'true host' akin to base Malzeno. So it seems like they really are dependent on 'true hosts.' A different theory is one that I still think could be possible, as an explanation for all the red crystals on Giasmagorm initially. And those crystals basically being Qurio hive material. They build them on Gorm's many ridges, which would really be cumbersome and restrictive for Gorm, which is why it sheds the crystals in it's second phase. This goes along with the idea that these gill-like ridges let loose Gorm's fire, as it only really starts doing that once the crystals are gone. Malzeno having adaptations for climbing is supported by concept art, and I think it being more of a small-game hunter works with the rest of it. It can only hunt something like a Rathalos with Qurio to distract it, and only needs to hunt something that big because it has both itself and Qurio to feed. Base Malzeno also becoming more of a blood drinker would also go along with the idea that it changes mentally upon becoming a host as well. Also, man. Every time the end of 5th gen gets talked about I feel a bit emotional. I don't hide it that it's my least favorite generation, maybe just above 1st, but still, I enjoyed them plenty at the end of the day. It's been around for so long and now the future of MH feels more unknown then ever before. I can only hope it refines what 5th gen did to deliver something even greater.

Doubt it will tho, modern Games have a trend of taking a different path nowadays. This might be a controversial opinion, but i liked the weapon designs. Kinda. Let me explain. I agree that they were a bit boring, but they were also consistent. Like i could clearly see that a weapon was made from bone or Iron and i liked how the design would change upon recieving further upgrades. It always brought some immersion to me and it kinda made sense. I guess a great compromise would be for the weapons to start out in the same way world did (built on the material tree they were made from), but get much more outlandish and closer to general MH designs the further they are upraded.

Adding to the epidermal protections of Elder Dragons, it makes me think that Nergigante may also be adapted for anti-parasite defenses, and the incredible regenration factor of the species may prove itself useful when you... you know. Lose your blood. That, and the spikes likely deter upper leeching, and the active nature of Nergigantes might also potentially prove to be able to remove them from under its body.

The wait was definitely worth it! One thing I've seen thrown around is that the infected Malzeno was either a younger individual than the much older Primordial and was thus affected heavily by the Qurio as it grew older over the fifty-so years (and given some of the dramatic short-term changes that can happen in real animals as well as the Risen cast I think it's not unreasonable) or that Malzeno's new brood and it's increasing reliance on them caused it's body to not fully mature with age. Primordial definitely seems like a much older, very experienced monster, along the lines of Elderfrost Gammoth or Seething Bazelgeuse, rather than 'just' an example of the nominate species without the parasitism. Something I also really liked was it's usage in the story, as Malzeno is perhaps my favorite implementation of a flagship plotwise to date, because Elgado has a grudge against it due to them blaming it for something it didn't do and the negative bias and hate they have towards it combined with the guild's "kill on sight" policy leads them to eventually mount an attack on Malzeno which successfully kills it, only for this to have disastrous consequences when the Qurio grow completely out of control and Curious George pops up to see what's going on. Likely realizing that Malzeno isn't around anymore since it's swarm is returning to it the giant funny badger-mole-man starts climbing back to the surface for catastrophic results only resolved when you're forced to kill George too. It is a serious deconstruction of the Guild's role in the universe and the game's typical enforcement of execution for the solution to all it's problems, showing how terrible things can get and how quickly they can escalate when you disrupt the balance of nature in an uninformed way. The game actually showing them to have learned from this and solidifying Fioryane's character development with Primordial Malzeno was, to me, a good send off to the game's expansion. Fioryane has such an irrational hatred for Malzeno that she initially tries to kill this new one once again, only to realize over the course of the fight (culimating in the cutscene at the end) that Primordial is trying to kill the Qurio while protecting itself from them and the constant attacks against Primal over the course of the fight eventually weaken and distract it enough for them to start leeching onto it, causing it to be in frantic mad agony. Fioryane finally realizes that she can't just make assumptions about the ecosystem or demonize the inhabitants within them and that her actions were wrong, and chooses to put aside her past trauma and hate for Malzeno to instead do the right thing and help it expel the Qurio that remain. Primal Malzeno seems to even acknowledge this, and might have expressed some form of gratitude, as much as it could have, before it left peacefully, both signaling a big step taken in human/nature relations and understanding and Elgado finally having peace as a whole. While it might not be perfect, and the additional fights/rematches are likely not canon (as there's only ever one of each encountered so rematching Qurio Mal shouldn't technically be happening), it was a very nicely done effort that I think bears a good omen for future stories to come. I'm glad you like the two so much though, especially George! If something is capable of rivaling Akantor in your eyes then that's bloody high praise.

I'm kinda bummed that you didn't mention kulve taroth as a underground monster with a thick protection. Though to be fair, kulve also seems to sometimes go on the surface since you initially find traces of it on the surface. Malzeno is one of my favorite fights in the series and that's surprising considering how much I despise Rise. Gaismagorm is fine, I especially liked how it's referred as the devil by the game's NPCs, in a manner similar to how Fatalis represented far more than a terrifying monster but as part of history itself. It gives an insight on mythology aspect of the monster hunter universe and how monsters impact it. P Malz was nice by design but I wouldn't be surprised if the last phase was that extra thing that was added to make sure it lived sunbreak's expectations and wouldn't come back in a later reappearance.

I imagine it would be something of an antithesis but also a direct sequel to Monster Hunter RISE, where instead of ascending into the air with wirebugs, we descend into the planet with whatever that entails.

Portable does have a clear out for "playing as the monster"-- Riders. MH Stories is... dubiously canonical at times, but there's a bit of a connection between the Riders of Stories 2 and the Hunters of Rise specifically, especially with a certain tadpole kept as a mount. It might not be a full bond with a monster, more something temporary akin to wyvern riding, but I think that Riders' techniques might be the answer to what allows for control of monsters in a future game. I think it would be really, really neat to get to keep a monster, even just small ones, as a buddy akin to palamutes, though, and bring them on hunts with you. Given that Hunters do breed and train wingdrakes and popo already, why not do the same with social small monsters like kestodon or wulgs for hunting companions? It could also be neat to have a little monster-rearing sub game for the rampage-esque missions where you play as the monster. Like, you have to get a baby monster, then raise it in something akin to Monster Rancher, Digimon, or Sonic Adventure's Chao garden, training and caring for it and giving it strengths and specialties depending on how it's raised, before that monster can then be used to defend your village. It would also be a neat way to develop the relationships between humans and monsters more, as there's no doubt that a lot of monsters could definitely be domesticated into beasts of burden or herding animals. You can't tell me Great Jaggi wouldn't be able to be turned from a metaphorical wolf into a dog, as it's cursorial predation and developed social dynamics would put it in a very similar position as wolves, perfect for breeding into shepherds or watchdogs.

something I haven't seen many people mention, to the point that I wonder if it's just a me thing, but I've always thought that Gaismagorm might be distantly related to Ibushi and Narwa, because from the hips back, they have similar looking hind legs and the tails aren't that different, and they also have the thing going around with their lower jaws, with Gaismagorm's fringehead-like mouth segments possibly being attached to bones derived from a possible common ancestors pharyngeal jaw

P.S. and I tend to write him as "GIAsmOgorm", cos of all earth-related themes.

On the note of the 6th generation, the combined efforts of both teams I think is leading towards the dissolving of "portable" and "home" games entirely. Obviously Rise was developed with the Switch in mind, but with a new Nintendo console possibly being announced by next year, and the power available to developers from current consoles and PC, I'm expecting they'll go down another sort of revolution that further enhances maps and their design. Monster Hunter World is still pretty traditional with how linearly you have to access some zones compared to Rise which was ironically going to feature loading zones but opted not to. The Citadel is really one of the most open and diverse locales with nice landmarks, a beautiful sky, et cetera, and I think we're going to get something like an open world game for the franchise. A scary thought, but if there's good enough mobility, resource management, and monsters that further feel embedded into their locales, I could see it working. Imagine a simplified resurrection of underwater combat, or underground biomes like a certain recent, popular open world game. I just hope we get to keep blast dashing, it's mechanically too fun.
@emblemblade9245
@emblemblade9245 11 месяцев назад
I immensely hope you’re right (and appreciate you mentioning Nintendo’s next console instead of being like literally every other person who thinks it will be too strong for that console to handle). I’ve seen what it’s like when a series’ fanbase is split down two ideas, and the devs separately try to cater to both. It is not pretty, and it wholly disturbs me that the community WANTS this for monster hunter just so they can establish a pattern of more high-budget “mainline” games like world. The gap in similarities between main and portable games was always pretty minor before 5th gen. MHFU was portable but was the defining title of that gen, P3rd had more weapons and locales than Tri at the cost of underwater, and GenU may have given hunters more tools for combat, but it still kept basically all of 4U’s editions and absolutely did not simplify the gameplay loop or hunts, which still took plenty of time and weren’t some “pick up and play in 15 minutes on your commute” game like Rise sometimes receives the narrative of being (a narrative that the other portable games are blindly thrown into the mix of by people who probably never played them). The amount of misinformation and mismanaged expectations about it IS disastrous, and I dearly hope Capcom does the responsible thing here and doesn’t make two sets of games that leave each side waiting impatiently for the next entry in “their” preferred version. And I hope Capcom keeps experimenting with new ideas of course. They haven’t run out yet!

@ScanovatheCarnotaurus
@ScanovatheCarnotaurus 11 месяцев назад
Something I feel like is often understated about Primordial Malzeno just how thematic the fight is. With it starting out as just a normal Malzeno, before eventually gaining qurio and becoming more akin to base malzeno, and then it’s final super form at the end, it really feels like to me they were trying to parallel with Gaismagorm’s fight with malzeno 50 years ago. The two clashing blows before the Qurio attack the malzeno and complicating things, before the malzeno ultimately gives it its all at the end (While I can’t see malzeno in general holding its own against malzeno, that final super form probably could, at least enough to make it retreat) before eventually being forced to accept said Qurio after expending itself in the fight. The only difference being that instead of baring the Qurio, we saved it from them at the end.

I know that you already did an ecosystem services video, but another broader topic that you could talk about would be the direct relationships between certain monsters and humans, for example which monsters predate humans, which ones see them as a nuisance, does the lower tier bird wyverns view them how wolves would or how a tiger would. Just a thought.
@JanusHoW
@JanusHoW 11 месяцев назад
Considering the size of most monsters, I think only the lower tier monsters like the raptors would actively go after humanoids (humans, Wyverians and Troverians) for food. Most large monsters are just too big to get a substantial meal out of a person. Compared to the usual prey items of Aptonoth, Popo and Apceros, humans are practically skin and bone. Times would have to be extremely lean for something like a Tigrex to intentionally prey on humans. I suspect most large monster-related human fatalities are the result of a predator trying to get at whatever herbivore monster is pulling the cart through the monster's territory, and the human getting caught in the chase.

I’ve been under the impression for a while now that Malzeno teleporting is (in-universe) some sort of visual hallucination by the hunter. Might heavy coping, but given that the Qurio suck blood, and Malzeno is so infested with them in its fight, I feel as though it’s possible. Losing a lot of blood leads to things becoming spotty, and that might be a possible reason for the “visual disturbance” of Malzeno teleporting. P. Malzeno doesn’t start teleporting until the Qurio get to it, and by extension until they get an opportunity to suck your blood too.
@Apotheosister

Honestly would be a pretty sick idea for a monster. Maybe it expels a gas that just messes with your senses. The monster attacks in seemingly supernatural ways. Teleportation, multiple limbs, the occasional beam of unknown energy, multiple hazy copies of the monster. The fight plays entirely normal with no gimmicks like reverse controls or a blurry screen. And the monster is entirely mundane with just a tough body and the gas. It fights like it's a magical beast but in reality it just physically hits you somewhat hard.

2 thoughts on Gaisma 1- What do you think about the theory that the Qurio are baby Gaismagorm? I get this from the fact that Shagaru's eggs are so small, I imagine they must be born as incredibly underdeveloped animals which don't represent Gore much at all. Xeno'jiiva I also believe probably emerged from a cocoon, not necessarily an egg, which, if true, implies a 3-stage life cycle for this species. The first, unknown stage, the 2nd, alien and strange stage reached through metamorphosis, and the 3rd, draconic stage reached through many shedding cycles. If the Magalas really do have an undereveloped 1st life stage, that could mean it matches up with all of this? Gore does become a Shagaru through shedding its skin after all, and in the process it becomes significantly more dragon-y in nature. With all of that being said, perhaps the Qurio represent this first stage of life, and Gaisma comes up once every 50 years to release his brood to become independent. This could also mean that the gill-like structures Gaisma releases are actually remnants of his former more Qurio-like appearance. 2- Speaking about Gore Magala connections, I think it's possible that the "Qurio Virus" is actually from Gaismagorm and is some distant cousin of the frenzy. Gaisma and the Magalas do share quite a bit in common physically and in terms of lifestyle. It does make you wonder what happened to Gog's virus though, lol.

When I first saw melzeno I rolled my eyes dreading we were getting another magnamalo like monster. But after playing sun break and seeing primordial melzeno I can easily say melzeno is my favourite elder hands down. His ecology is interesting especially when the Qurio are actually harming melzeno more than they are helping, and the fact that if any thing melzeno was trying to keep every thing together despite it being in agony. Only for the hunter to kill first ask questions later and having to deal with the consequences. Primordial melzeno also is awesome, it can deal with an elder like velkhana with ease but it’s afflicted/ normal Variant get a tie. It shows how much the Qurio have effected such a beast from this protector of the land to this blood lustrous monster, making you feel bad for it. Also melzeno sets the record by being the only monster hunter flagship that gets a good ending which is just a nice touch. And gismagorm is a great final boss, and I absolutely love his fight.

Incredible video, after finishing the base Sunbreak story I was already really excited for a video covering these three species, but the bonus update pushed that excitement even further. Malzeno and Gaismagorm are such incredible monsters in so many different ways, it's almost baffling to me that they're what we get after the flop that is Magnamalo. If future monster hunter games explore elder dragon ecology much in the way World did for every other monster class, seeing Malzeno and even Primordial in their natural habitat would be an incredible treat. Another touch to your theory on Malzeno being adapted for mountainous/cave life styles is its occurrence in the Lava Caverns and even the Shrine Ruins, both of which compliment its lifestyle well. Regardless of whether Primordial is the "true form" or a genetically distinct subspecies, the story that was told with it also gets me excited at how monster hunter stories get told in the future, and if maybe in the next game the stigma of "the series where you hunt animals to extinction for their clothes" can finally be shed beyond those of us that deep-dive into the lore.

My theory on Malzeno is that perhaps they just happen to smell similar to Gaismagorm. Coincidental similarities have occurred before. Like sheep wool containing a protein that smells similar to the lactation hormone of domestic cats, often triggering a nursing instinct even in adult cats. Primodial Malzeno may have just engaged in a territorial dispute, but some confused Qurio followed it. Over time the disease and likely malnutrition as it adjusted caused significant deformities (not unheard of in reptiles, poor nutrition can cause major changes in scales and bones). Malzeno, being intelligent however, eventually figured out how to use its similar scent to Gaismagorm to its advantage. It's still not a very healthy animal by any means, but it's managing to adapt and survive much better than a lot of other animals. Feeding on Qurio swarms may also be a thing they do when the Qurio breach the surface. Kind of like how animals will gorge themselves when cicadas emerge. Which could also have lead to the similar scent idea. It perhaps got too strong in some individuals, leading to an unwanted infection instead

I love your reasonings and science behind this one. I haven't and likely won't play rise but the relationships between these two are some of the most interesting ones I've heard of from the series. AND furthermore why you gotta rip on Evolve near the end like that :(

If I was to choose, MH6 would be 3U 2, and Portable 6 would be Sunbreak 2 with an emphasis on building your own squad of followers and even further move-set customization.

This has only made me more desperate to see a malzeno versus gaismagorm animation

I wonder if gaismagorm's relation to the quirio is similar to that of thr worms in Dune in that they are, if fact, the SAME species just a different stages of their life cycle. The lone quirio flying away after gaismagorm's defeat could have been a hormonal response to the gaismagorm's death to make the quirio capable or metamorphosis into the next stage of its life (having the birth of new gaismagorm locked behind the death of old ones would prevent overpopulation and over-hunting of its prey, keeping the ecosystem from collapsing)

It's an interesting idea, having Primordial Malzeno not be a variant, but a subspecies. One species of Malzeno uses pheromones to attract the Qurio, the other rejects them. But oddly, even though Primordial Malzeno actively fights against the Qurio, they are intensely attracted to him - they WANT him to become their host, more than any other creature aside from the Archdemon itself. It's like Primordial has the pheromones that Gaismagorm has to control his minions, but it's a curse of sorts. Or perhaps rejecting Qurio symbiosis is simply a conscious decision - elder dragons seem to be more intelligent and self-aware than the average monster, and Primordial may feel that it's not worth it to bond with Qurio even if they've evolved to form such a relationship.

When it comes to possible future games where you control the monster; I'd love to see a spin off that's straight up a like a 3D fighting game where you pick monsters and they "turf war". I think that would be pretty cool

I feel like rather than one monster, the fall of the ancient civilization was like a perfect storm, the curio were causing problems, that led to the two elder dragons causing trouble, and through the civilization was famous for killing elders, they are very powerful even for elders, and these things gave a fatalis the opportunity to destroy the entire kingdom

Gaismagorm maybe not be my favorite final boss monster but the theme of the monster is really good, like the shilloute is viewed on the front, it looks like a goat head, and the glowy throat has a demonic face if you squint a bit, overall Gaismagorm is the best monster when it comes to following the theme of the game

As so many people came into MH with World (myself included), we've spent the last 5 years looking at the history of the series and hearing the opinions of the veterans, trying to come up with an idea of what Monster Hunter is and more importantly what it should be moving forward. After loving World, I hated Rise, liked Sunbreak and then disliked Sunbreak's title updates. Yet after playing Dos and FU, 3U and Prtbl 3rd, 4U and GU I have to admit that SunRise is not only the best portable game but is also the only portable game worth playing of it's generation if you've already played it's mainline game (FU is debatable because it's Tigrex and Narga are exceptional). After 5 years of thinking I have absolutely no idea what Monster Hunter should be and I've forgotten how I felt about World when I first played it. I thought Rise was a step backwards but now I think it was progress, just not anything I had imagined. I'm trying not to be so cynical towards this series I love so much anymore and part of that is because you still shed light on it's good despite being here for 19 years. TO MONSTER HUNTER! 🍻
