Fatalis Medley - Monster Hunter World Iceborne 

15:43 Less than five minute left One faint left And a dream

Literally nothing has stung more in this life then losing the fight while Proof of a Hero is playing

Phase 1: You're fighting something terrifying. Phase 2: You're fighting a legendary opponent. Phase 3: The monster is facing a Monster Hunter.

Okay, NOW I see why the commander likes his dragonator.

Proof of a Hero is like the power of friendship, once it's mentioned nothing beats it or the person gaining power.

“Its head is completely broken. Its flame attack should be much weaker now!” Fatalis: F I R E B A L L ;-)

You know a monster is strong when it has latin chorus in its last phase. You know a monster is very very strong when said latin chorus is panicking. You know a monster is very very very strong when said latin chorus is singing its name. You know it's Fatalis when it has a panicking latin chorus singing its name in its first phase.

When you realize that proof of a hero doesn't make you immortal

* Proof of Hero * I'M CLOSE!!! Reality: Fatalis is at 34% and you've got 5 min left.

Phase 1: Fearsome and foreboding. You are going against the legend itself: Fatalis. The monster of myth. The monster who razed a kingdom in a single night. Pray that your mission is successful. Or at the very least, pray that your death will be quick. Phase 2: The fierce battle. You have done well to last this long. But all you have done is merely survive. The fiercest battle of your life still lies before you. And you are far from done. Phase 3: Proof of a hero. You have done what an entire army could not: you have held your own against Fatalis, proving that this monster of myth can be beaten. You have given the people a glimmer of hope, hope that wasn't present on that fateful night at Castle Schrade, for you are the Sapphire Star, the very symbol of hope. And this is a testament to your strength. To your courage. This is your proof of a hero.

I feel like monster hunter doesn't get quite enough appreciation for its music. In most games like metroid or dark souls, I'm usually like "Yeah, this fits the mood. I'm enjoying this song." I've never had any song in any game completely change my opinion of how a fight is gonna go before. But the moment proof of a hero starts playing I get this feeling of "This is the final stretch, I CAN do this!" Its one of the most unique feelings I've ever had in all of gaming.

It is rather ironic that the most feared dragon in Monster Hunter, a Japanese game, is a European dragon

"this is impossible he survived the dragonator!" *proof of a hero starts* "LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO"

I swear I can hear them singing "OH JESUS, DEAR JESUS" and I'm just like "same"

Iceborne Fatalis is a great send off to the veterans of the series. It feels like all the adventures and experience you got from playing the past game leads to this moment, it feels like you are fighting the franchise's history. For me it feels like the game is telling me "Proud hunter, you have been playing this game for a decade, use all the skills you have learned and show us how much you have grown!"

Me to old gen Fatalis: This thing destroyed a kingdom over night? It’s so slow! Seriously this fight was easy and a bit of a letdown. Me to World Fatalis: I’ve been playing since 3U, this is easily the hardest fight I’ve ever done in a monster hunter game. *THIS* is the Fatalis described in all those lore descriptions!

The old Fatalis fight can't even hold a candle to the MHW:I incarnation and the music is perfect for the fight.

Well. This is as good a place as any to drop my story. I was assembling furniture for my new apartment where my fiance and I will live soon. I was listening to a random RU-vid mix and THIS video came up. I thought it was just the Fatalis theme. But then, as I was finishing up the last of the furniture piece I heard the opening prelude to Proof of a Hero. I literally teared up because it all hit me at once. It was 2009. I was home from school, sick, as usual. I had recently been diagnosed with IBS (the worst kind) and had yet to have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and Asperger's syndrome. The few friends I had didn't come around much since I got sick. I was depressed, constantly. My brother has taken the Xbox with him once he moved out, the only videogames we had left was a Wii with Wii sports and my dying Nintendo DS. That's when I saw a commercial for Monster Hunter Tri on the TV. I was enraptured by the music, and begged my Mom to buy it when it came out. I fell in love as soon as I played it, feeling like I had discovered an absolute hidden gem of a game. A little secret to keep to myself. I wasn't Link or Master Chief, I was MY character. My own hero whose story I determined. I didn't kill the bosses with slick moves in a choreographed cutscene, every killing blow was my own accomplishment. I had constant progression, and could see how far I had come. I made it to online and I made friends, ones that were always there, same time every day. I remember people helping me with my first Jhen Mohran. I remember doing the Goldenfish quests with other people, endlessly. I remember gentle guidance, goofy animations and excitedly running to the cliff of the Rathalos nest to try and knock people off into the ocean with a greatsword. I was so in love I went back, and played Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Again I was my own hero, and it was more challenging. I played 3 ultimate, but this time with a keyboard to speak to people properly. I made true friends. Not just gaming buddies but people that I talked to about life, my day, my emotions. People that genuinely cared. I was diagnosed with Aspergers. Suddenly I was whisked out of school, into a new one. Suddenly my parents didn't know what to do. I had solace, I had Moga and Pokke, their calming music, familiar and welcoming, at the end of each scary new day. I had friends, something to look forward to, and accomplishments to feel proud of in a time where I felt like everything I did was wrong. I became more outgoing, social. I planned events, group gatherings to farm for rare materials (Cloudy Moonshard, oh my gosh) and do the hardest Monsters. I learned how to communicate, something hard for people with any form of autism. Even past those, my hardest days, I had Monster Hunter. Always a new one to look forward to, from 4, all the way till Sunbreak at the end of this month. I introduced, not exaggerating, dozens of friends to Monster Hunter World, and I adored the game I loved so much finally getting the widespread recognition it deserved. I loved fighting Fatalis, finally getting to feel a piece of the original game. And I loved watching, nurturing my friends into beating him. Feeling Proof of a Hero, that anthem I had heard so many times before, blasting in my ears. I loved asking, awkwardly, my now fiance if she wanted to try the demo for Rise as one of our first dates. So when I was there, doing the simple task of assembling a cabinet, and I heard this nostalgia filled masterpiece, those triumphant horns. It all clicked, the past 13 years of my life flashed before me. Monster Hunter was there for me when I was at my lowest. It taught me to be my own hero. Taught me determination, perseverance, dedication to achieve my goals. It taught my awkward Aspergers brain how to socialize and communicate with others. It was always something to look forward to. To rely on. I'm getting married in 3 days. I know that it's very small odds that anyone from my Tri or 3U or 4U days remembers me (username was SonicJBH), but I'll say it to the community as a whole: thank you. Thank you for being there, for teaching me how to play, how to make friends, how to be happy. Thank you for taking me through my darkest days, and into my happiest ones. Thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart, for making me into the man that had the courage to propose. Some people might say it's stupid to credit a game community with so much. But those are people who haven't been apart of this community, the best most caring gaming community ever. Thank you to all those I played with, and to all who play the game and make it what it is. I will see you in Sunbreak hunters, after my honeymoon. May the Sapphire Star guide our way. -SonicJohnBH

15:43 Fatalis: Why do I hear boss music?

Easily one of the greatest boss fights in video game history.

I dont care if we're fighting Thanos, when Proof of a Hero kicks in, not even the Infinity Stones can stop us Hunters.

You know the monster is cracked when the vocals kick in immediately

When proof of a hero hit on my run for the first time I was literally shaking and thankfully it was the boost we needed to prevail! Holy grimalkynes was it worth it!

That mount theme is FIRE

I love how his theme is not only a reflection of where Castle Schrade is geologically,(with the song being a more epic and ominous version of LIOLEUS／Howling, the battle theme of Forest and Hills/Verdant Forest and Rathalos, as it has always been), but that the 1st phase this version of his theme is a reflection of Gen 1, with the Kotoko Village theme being sprung in out of nowhere! The 2nd phase on the other hand changes to have themes introduced in World and Iceborne, which kicks things up a notch, showing that yes, we're showing him that this isn't a Gen 1 fight anymore, but the best bit is when The Last and Decisive Battle(the Gen 1 battle version of Proof of Hero) kicks in after the Dragonator usage, doubling down on the idea that THIS is the True Final Boss of MHW, and hearing the Quest Clear theme of Gen 1 Monster Hunter just ties it all up together. The fight's theme was a pure nostalgia trip and I'm glad Capcom made these choices.

The lore was true. If you pick up His scale he drops after sending him into a wall, it say “a scale that hold the melted gear of his foes”

Of course, the strongest monster in all of Monster Hunter is a true Dragon.

When the proof of hero theme comes in. It's like you 're so charged with adrenaline, you forgot how to play the game completely.

when proof of hero kick in, it wasn't there to tell you that you are about to win it tells you to remember all the hardship you have been through since beginning. Fatalis is sure greatest threat right in front of you but as long as you stay fight, the history itself can even be defeated against "monsters hunter"

TIMESTAMPS FOR EACH SONG 0:00 - Theme Phase One 3:56 - Theme Phase One (Mount) 7:21 - Theme Phase Two 11:33 - Theme Phase Two (Mount) 15:43 - Theme Phase Three (Proof of a Hero Original)

I quite honestly could not have asked for a better send off to this phenomenal game. They've taken fan expectations and far exceeded them. Fatalis is everything I wanted and more. It kicked my ass for 8 hours straight, but I didn't get mad, I kept going. I learned, I adapted, and before I knew it, I was beating him in under 20 min solo. Not to mention that masterfully composed OST that accompanies this brutal, unforgiving fight. Especially phase 2, where It really gives you the feeling that you're fighting to save the world. Just a stellar note to go out on. Thank you Capcom for crafting a truly unique experience.

I almost teared up when we finally hit the Dragonator and Proof of Hero started playing.. Never have I felt more epicness in a video game or any medium in general. Still lost though lol :D

With how powerful Black Fatalis is, imagine Crimson and White. Black Fatalis is the weakest of the trio too....

This felt like the end of our journey. Where everything, and I mean literally everything you learned are put to the ultimate test. Iceborne goes out with a cosmic size BANG! I played this franchise for almost 16 years, I feel proud of being part of this spectacular community. That last music, was the history itself, the Monster Hunter history, you are part of it. Part of one of the greatest game franchise humanity ever made.

You know a theme is a masterpiece when it makes someone like me who’s NEVER even played the old MH games somehow magically feel nostalgic. World was my first MH, and I’ve always been a monster hunting type of person (in rpgs, DND, etc. it’s like all I ever pick just bc I can’t help myself it’s just so fucking cool) like The Witcher and shit. This franchise has some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, the music and scores are praise-worthy throughout generations, the armors and skills along with its crafting system are helpful and colorful with style and utility, the weapons are so expertly crafted (and all are especially unique and fun to use) to be near perfectly equal across fucKING 14 WEAPONS, and the monsters are given indistinctive and imaginative qualities, blending in with beautiful ecosystems that they work day and night to make sure everything is smooth. Whatever these Devs are getting paid, it’s not enough. When I fought Fatalis and heard his theme it really felt like I was fighting a God. I had looked up several monsters from GU (Shantien is my favorite Elder out of all of them and his theme is the most beautifully created piece I’ve ever heard) and the second I see Fatalis, I knew my ass was grass. And this theme. Fucking. Slaps. Just how I cook my chicken. But then Proof of a Hero started playing, and I couldn’t get my fat ass to stop smiling. This game is a one in a thousand hidden gem that I believe a lot of people overlook. It has its flaws (honestly not many) like any other, but it was one of the funnest games I’ve ever played. But for real, Fuck Fatalis, fuckin duck waddlin ass long neck no dick havin ass bitch ass dum dum head lookin ass is SUCH A FUCKING ASSHOLE. Aight I’m done.

That little bit of kokoto village theme in it makes it perfect.

The 3 phases of this theme can also be interpreted like 1st phase: Fatalis is real, not just a myth meant to scare children; it's here in front of you with all of its fury and hatred. 2nd phase: It is on a rampage and no one could stop it. The chorus is like the voices of the people crying out for help desperately. 3rd phase: When everything seems to be at its end, when all hopes were just about to disappear. The hero comes in and defeat the monster, saving everyone just like in the old children tale.

the more i hear it the more i love it, the fatalis from iceborne lives up to its legend without a doubt.

"Yeah, he's a God" - Cotton

I swear, the moment "Proof of a Hero" played during my fight with Fatalis, all the memories I had with Monster Hunter Freedom, MHFU, MHP3rd, n MH4U came back to me as if to remind me how far the Monster Hunter franchise have come and me growing up alongside it had been the best thing that ever happened in my life. Despite having social anxiety and depression during my high school years, this franchise has helped me coup being alone for a long time. Suffice to say at that moment, I cried a lot knowing that this game have been there for me always whenever I feel alone and suicidal even to this day. Thank you so much everyone, for playing this game and making it shine to what it is today.

every squad got the guy whos actually trying guy hiding in the corner hr 28 with defender gear insect glaive user

I been kicked by fatalis for 9 hours straight using my bow and haven't won, but this gives me motivation to press on and overcome Update: I finally killed Fatalis!

Oh man, I just realized that the opening choir has the same melody as Kokoto Village's theme. I'm not crying. You are. THEN IT COMES AGAIN IN 3:13.

After many many failed attempts, I have finally conquered this almighty beast. ALL HAIL FREE MEAL

GOD, that phase 2 theme is SO GOOD! Brachydius' theme has always been my favorite since it came out, because it has such a heroic tone to it, but MAN that second phase ost is absolutely giving it a run for it's money, holy crap!

So, does anyone think that the birth of Safi'jiiva have anything to do with Fatalis and the Black Dragons? MH have a lot of vague in-game lore that seems to be hyped up only to build atmosphere and sense of depth, but in the end I'm left with more questions than answer. What does the tale of Five imply in the grand scheme of things? What did the Old Everwyrm want? Why did Alatreon came to Safi's cocoon ground? Why is Banbaro all over the place?

peak monster hunter is when you have less than 5 minutes left giving your all with proof of a hero blasting in the background its the ultimate standoff either you win or lose

Finally, Fatalis lives up to his title as the God of all monsters. 👌

what an AMAZING theme. it starts off with such dramatic singing and loud, explosive instruments! it really captures the feeling of not only knowing that Fatalis, an existence, has appeared once again, it's presence being exhausting and overwhelming in of itself. The middle is just as amazing to me; louder, more explosive, but also showing cracks of hope through the waxing fanfare; you can hear the horns breaking out of the loud theme as it progresses, and a more controlled choir expresses a long and treacherous journey! the song later leans in the hunter's favor; familiar tunes are played through the foreground and the explosiveness is now wild, adventurous and adaptive, almost like a hunter! And of course, it ends with Proof of a Hero. past the explosiveness, the fear and exhaustion, the wilderness, the obstacles and barriers is your final challenge. the inspiration that led you to hunt is the same inspiration guiding your final blows to end Fatalis. God, what an AMAZING SCORE!

This is 18 minutes of pure bliss

Remember, this song didn't play during Xeno'Jiva, Nergigante, Ruiner Nergigante, Shara Ishvalda, Safi'Jiva, or Alatreon. It played during Fatalis. This is the true test. Good Luck.

The tears started kicking in the moment the og Proof of a Hero began playing... and then quest fail.

Iceborne's Fatalis is one of my favorite bosses of all time.

I see nobody mention that THERE IS A PART OF THE KOKOTO THEME IN THE TRACK! At 1:28, this is so cool! They put in a leitmotif of the very first village in the series, where Fatalis was first met, that’s sick, it’s like what they did with Kushala, they really know what they’re doing

A few weeks back, when Fatalis dropped, I was busy with university so I didn't jump on the hype train immediately. However, I did my research, looking at what people recommend when going up against him. 2 weeks later, I tried my hands on the special assignment. Just like how it should went, I was a bit rusty and almost failed the assignment. Finally, Fatalis flew up and the cutscene played. I watched this part a lot of times already, but it really hits differently when you are the one in the hot seat. I quickly reset the quest, this time firing the SOS. 3 random guys immediately came in as I flew back down to face Fatalis once again. The fight played out just like how I imagined it: us 4 constantly kissing and rolling on the ground trying to deal damage to him. The barricade scene came, I ran back into the gate in awe when he rained flames upon the castle. As one of the teammates closed the gate, somehow I carted. It was just then that we realized that we are down to the last cart. (Yes, I ate for safeguard but that wasn't enough I guess lmao) The fight went on, as heated as it can get. A guy using lance was poking Fatalis's head and breast to oblivion while the other 2 spam ZSD on the head. I used longsword, the only weapon I'm most comfortable with when fighting hard monsters like him. We managed to break his head once before he went up for the 3rd time. Then came the 4th time. At that point, I was almost out of healing items. I'm not sure if I can go on any longer. It seemed...endless. Then, a text box popped up at the right side of the screen: The dragonator and roaming ballista are ready to use. I signaled my teammates to run for the handle. I reached there first, then the 2 guys using switch axe. The lance guy used his dash move heading for us as Fatalis slithered behind him. I hit my controller button firing the dragonator, as soon as he is in range and Fatalis fell back at the instant. We jumped down to do damage as usual when Proof of the Hero comes on. At this point I feel like something awoke inside of me. I threw on my Temporal Mantle and jumped on the ballista before being interrupted by Fatalis doing his ult again. When he came down, the lance guy shot a binder to hold him and dash-rush for the head. Half a health bar left and no more healing items, I jumped back on the ballista and fired away. I'm not going to lose here, this is the last opening and I'm so close. But at the end of the ballista magazine, he's still not dead and is getting up on his hindlegs. I ran towards him, spirit slash 1, and went for the helmbreaker. At the swishing sound, Fatalis finally fell for the last time. My final attack went straight through the middle of his head and body, breaking his head the 2nd time in the process. I also always do a special sheathe after the helmbreaker due to muscle memory so it was just my character standing there with her sword sheathed anime-style as Fatalis falls to the ground and the victory theme plays. I didn't have this kind of adrenaline rush since Safi. (Alatreon and Kulve's first kills were more of a relief, if you get what I mean). Monster Hunter World was my first game of the franchise and this fight is the most appropriate send-off in my opinion. It started as a game that my friend told me to buy and come play with her because it was "on sale" to one of my most favorite franchise of all time. I'll will be eagerly waiting for MH:Rise while I try to farm fatty parts and trying to somehow wack AT Velkhana's head, then I'll probably move on to MHGU if I have time. This fight, though, would stay with me for quite a long while, I can tell. And to all my fellow hunters that helped me through all the quests, not just Fatalis, thank you for being part of the experience. Happy hunting and I hope we meet again in one of the quests!

I killed Fatalis for the first time yesterday. It was the only monster left for me to kill before I could get Rise. Hearing Proof of a Hero was like a whole new experience for me

THE BEST MONSTER WITH THE BEST FIGHT WITH THE BEST MEDLEY! WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR!?!? Edit: THE GEAR! THE WEAPONS! PROOF OF A HERO! MONSTER HUNTER, THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iceborne really is notorious of taking advantage of the power of the consoles to bring old monsters in a shining glory of improvement and/or change. The quality however differs on each monster and hunter's opinion. - Old Rajang was bigger and there was decent downtime between a good chunk of attacks wich balances out he's insane damage output (a single back hop could erase you) and very quick/lack of telegraphs in some moves so the difficulty of the fight depends on your ability to correctly punish Rajang after he attacks. New Rajang has a lil more telegraphing (but not that much) and is smaller, has new moves to boot and a counter to clutching onto his arms. He's way more relentless and most of his moves have lost the downtime they had after beeing used (like the sonic homing attack having instant recovery). Even tripping him is dangerous because if he grabs onto any "wall" then he just attacks you and never falls down. However, I've found him to be more flinchable, can be slinger bursted into a wall and attacking his tail enough will knock him out of his extra enrage where he has hard arms. Lastly he's very unpreddictable wich is a change most monsters have suffered when coming to Iceborne. The fight has become more reactionary than methodical wich can be a plus or a minus for some people. - Then we have Lunastra. Old Lunastra is just a reskin of Teostra, THE END. New Lunastra was changed to be very distinct from Teostra without totally beeing a different monster... I think that was the intention. The thing is that nearly every move she has is some tipe of variation of an AoE attack. The fire patches she leaves are very annoying for both blademasters and ranged hunters. She has shitty hitzones. Fighting her will involve a great amount of annoying gradual damage. Her nova is very annoying having it cover the full zone, having your health melt like butter and having a wind effect that will stun and prevent you from countering the health melting with a healing item. A change that is good for making her clearly different from Teostra but also bad because she is very annoying and un-fun to fight. - Glavenus hasn't changed a lot, just the typical World change of making the monster more unpredictable and a little less downtime between attacks (unlike rajang having nearly no downtime on most attacks). - The old Fatalis' difficulty came from the truck load of damage he could do in general including moving... yes moving. His pool of attacks was pretty small and hasn't had an adition to it for a good while (and no, we are not counting the variants, they are their own monsters). The fight was generaly underwhelming and the small pool of attacks with clear telegraphs made him very predictable and punishable, you just had to be carefull of beeing too close to Fatalis in case he moved and you made contact with him (just like with the old Rajang's backhop). New fatalis still has his old attacks, is a bit bigger and still has the smae amount of fair telegraphing so the fight is still reasonably learnable unlike _OTHER_ fights. But instead of making things annoying and tedious like with Lunastra they've added new attacks that honestly feel mostly fair (except the pin attack, that is very annoying) with mostly good telegraphs. When in the air he cannot touch you when you clutch claw him so go ham, just be aware of when he's going to land. As the fight progresses he uses new attacks and some of the other ones gain a lil bonus like leaving a delayed explosion. The safest place to be is between the back legs and the high legs but he still has a fair amount of attacks that can reach there and you should be very aware of when they're about to be used, the great example beeing his sorta 360 fire breath sweep where he starts at the most left/right of his body directly in this "safe space" to the sweep around in a more generous manner, never reaching the opposite side where the right/left side "safe space" isn't reached. Finally his new ultimate attack is pretty clear and fair if you are ready for it wich is pretty easy as the first two time he does it you have to hide in the same spots so always try to keep Fatalis near said spots unless you want to be roasted. It occurs when certain health thresholds are met so knowing them will also inform you of how close he's to beeing defeated. Always after the second super attack he enters his new heated form (not sure if it has a name) and most of his fire attacks a powered up tremendusly with the conical frontal firebreath beeing a guaranteed one shot. The only way to mitigate the strenght that the fire attacks gain in this form is by breaking his horns wich is pretty hard so it is recomendable to bring part breaker. Also using the seige weapons makes this fight more possible so it is also recomended to bring the heavy artillery skill. In general an massive improvement to the monster that fits him as a black dragon yet still fair and more enjoyable than something like Lunastra or Rajang.

When "Proof of A Hero" starts playing, all four hunters at the same time are thinking, "Kick His ass, Kick his Ass, He fell down, kick his ass!!"

A hatred for hunters Burns like his fire The Immortal God With sapience to match his ire The bane of humanity That no monster will fight Or else they will burn In a fire and hatred too bright The Dark Demise - Fatalis

Safi'Jiiva theme: Epic and fitting for the monster born out of the energy from the new world that has fully evolved into an adult. Alatreon theme: A bit more frightening but mainly epic. A showdown with the master of the elements. Fatalis theme: Sounds like the hunters are walking to their doom at least until Proof of a Hero turns on.

The sweeping pianos that start off at around the 13:04 mark are just too beautiful and they add a layer of fantastical and royal feel that is kind of reminiscent of tales of knights fighting dragons. Of course, very fitting for such an epic battle with an already epic and iconic dragon in the franchise.

my jaw dropped unconciously when i heard the mount theme.. now this is really a god. also, imagine the theme of white fatalis in iceborne incarnate.. holyy smokes

All the references I could find in Fatalis’s themes: 1:28 Kokoto Village. 1:51-1:57 Akantor’s theme, 50 seconds in, and the beginning of Ukanlos’ theme. 7:44-8:08 A stylized Pride of a Nameless Hunter. 8:12 Astera. 9:17 Stars At Our Backs.

0:00 I never played previous MH and I feel the horror when this plays. 15:43 What is this? I feel POWEEERRRRR!

such an amazing rendition for an AMAZING fight. Having the classic Proof of a Hero for the final phase is absolute perfection and a beautiful finale for MHW.

Fatalis gives me literal nightmares.... I like it.

Wanna know how tough iceborne fatalis is? Fatalis was the first thing in YEARS to make me *stand up from my seat* .... you know something in a game is challenging when you feel the need to stand up from your seat! Like.... there’s serious mode, then there’s **gamer state activated** serious mode!

The progression is simple, but effective. The intro is filled with loud chanting, banging drums, and sharp string sections as if the music itself is part of the onslaught of this ancient evil. Then is tones down the stings and the drums and chanting get quieter while the pace picks up. It’s still menacing, but seems more manageable. Like your hunter is starting to calm down and become more focused. Then the pace picks up, but the instruments start to drown out the chanting more, as if Fatalis is starting to lose its dominance over the battle. Then the tables turn and it shifts to Proof of a Hero: the Hunter has gathered their courage and is going to overwhelm this ancient evil with the accumulation of all their experiences.

Now I want to know what capcom could do with Miralis.

proof of heroes gives me the chills every time. it brought back all the awsome memories from old games.

The first theme radiates pure, unbridled suffering. I can hear the sounds of pain, lol. The second theme has a glimmer of hope, even when all the odds seem against the Hunter. Proof of a Hero sounds like just pure hope and teamwork, when you can see the finish line in your sights.

Thanks so much for another amazing medley, these are easily in contention for my favourite monster Hunter themes of all time. Enjoy dying to fatalis over and over again everyone!

"If you have even a little bit of trouble defeating me, imagine what my crimson and white brothers can do to you." "Godspeed, hunters. You'll need it."

Tell you what, I’ve played most every MH game. But this fight. THIS FIGHT. I have no words for it. The closest I could come is the amazing feeling of four guys who don’t know each other coming together to kill a nigh immortal beast from Hell. The satisfaction from successfully killing it is on another level.

That ending was beautiful and so nostalgic

Omg i love these parts so much ❤ 8:30 - 9:16 12:36 - 13:23

Absolute sin that this theme isn't on the official Iceborne soundtrack on Spotifyy

Love how in the 2nd phase the music has more triumphant and hopeful bits shining through the despair, then ultimately culminates in Proof Of a Hero

This fight came out over 2 years ago, and I’m still having a blast every time I come back. Not to mention, there is no shortage of hunters itching to fight the Fatalis again. Truly one of highest peak in my gaming life.

I love how they put parts of the village themes in some of the Iceborne songs. It just makes it feel so nostalgic because we have Pokke for Nargacuga, Misty Peaks theme for Zinogre, Kokoto for Fatalis, and there are probably more that I missed. I miss playing the older games, but I dont have my psp anymore. :( Oh, They also have tri's theme in Alatreon

Fatalis cam resurrect: Panik You’re not wearing his armor: calm You’re using his LS made of Fatalis: *PANIK*

Imagine, JUST IMAGINE when they rework the white fatalis battle OH BOY.

Was fighting Fatalis last night, disconnected from the session on a 4 player difficulty fatalis. Proof of a Hero was playing, skull icon popped up, and it was just me and the beast itself. And then? I killed it. The last portion of a 4-player fatalis. Alone.

All this power and he's still the weakest Fatalis, I'm so excited to see Crimson and White in the future!

"2020 can't get any worse" November 2020:

I can literally sing this entire tune from start to finish. That is how many times I carted!!

In my final run, when Proof of a Hero began, I knew all those hours fighting Fatalis would come together to make a flawless run. From the point the dragonator hit, every move was calculated, and I finished him with no faints. Truly spectacular.

This version is so, so much better than the old one, when i fought Fatalis in MHFU i really didn't concect that much with the theme, to me it was just a vocal version of the Forest Hills theme. But just by hearing the start of this one 0:02, you know you're gonna mess with something terrible and powerful, something that can end the world by just existing, something that even the Gods fear. I haven't heard a theme that made me fear a boss like this since Sephiroth's theme, the lyrics, though without any meaning (from what i know of) give the fight a more "serious" and "intimidating" tone, since the only monsters that have had vocals in their fights are Godlike creatures. Not only that, but it literally gave me chills the first time i heard it, and i think a lot of people missed that detail, but you can hear a leimotiv of Kokoto's theme 1:27, the very first Monster Hunter village, this being a simbolism of the first ever final monster. The second phase theme is just as incredible, having leimotives of the many tracks of MHW, like Astera's theme and Driven by the Stars. But holy shit, did a tear crossed through my eye when i heard the OG Proof of a Hero, i'm pretty sure that every MH veteran felt the same way when pulling the lever, the dragonator razoring Fatalis chest and slowly realizing that the very first MH theme was being displayed, just a masterpiece of a fight and pretty much my favorite final encounter in any videogame to date. Amazing job Capcom.

Thank you so much! I love Fatalis’ themes, they’re great, as are your mixes of them

One of, if not the best theme music I've heard.

I have been waiting for this thank you so much !

12:44 istg hearing this while blocking the big triangle fire attack with a lance or something has to be one of the greatest european dragon fight vibe someone can feel in a game 💀💀 and i love it.

Dire Miralis listen to this theme! Also Dire Miralis: One day hunter...

7:22 *Old Players* "They... gave Fatalis a... new theme?! This is heresy! This is madness!! and we f**king love it!!!!" Oh come on you can't tell me you thought something like that!

The proof of a hero is so nostalgic that even make me cry after succeeding solo it 😭

In my opinion, hearing the very first version of Proof of a Hero and not the World version (the one you hear after using the Dragonator against the Zorah Magdaros) makes the final minutes even better. Not only it's pure nostalgia for people who are into the series since the PSP games at the very least (I started with Freedom Unite 11 years ago), but in a sense, it also reinforces the fact that World stayed true to the spirit of the series in the end. Because, to be honest, I was disappointed by World at its initial release: while it was a massive improvement in terms of QoL and graphics, the fact that the first part of the game is basically a giant and chatty tutorial left me with a bitter feeling for the 15~20 first hours. Even compared to previous entries which were already criticized for having a too easy "village" part. The final showdown with Zorah Magdaros, which was supposed to be the high point of this first part of the story, was barely a boss fight. Even by standards for giant monsters at the time (like Jhen Mohran, Ceadeus and Dalamadur). In the end, the Proof of a Hero theme you could hear then was the only thing that could let me think "yup, it's a Monster Hunter game". While the high rank wasn't much more challenging (but still an improvement), the free DLCs started hopefully introducing more challenging stuff, and I especially enjoyed AT Xeno'jiiva and AT Kulve Taroth. Then Iceborne was released and turned out definitely harder than World, even though I still think the difficulty could be better balanced (in my opinion, it's way too easy to accumulate and max out skills). And they kept delivering with the DLCs for Iceborne: even if most quests still don't last as long as in previous games when you are well prepared, most endgame monsters can still punish you hard for being too greedy or for coming unprepared. But that revamped Fatalis really try to push you to your limits and require all at once a good build, a good strategy and some skill in order to stand a chance. You can't get more "Monster Hunter" than that... except if you play the bombastic original Proof of a Hero during the final minutes.

I was waiting for this !

I finally beat Fatalis yesterday! 29'02😅

One of the few monsters in the series worthy of his own vocal chorus!
