Is ARKVELD connected to GORE MAGALA? - INSANE Monster Hunter Wilds Theory 

Something besides humans was supposed to defeat Gore Magala, but it never arrived. Meanwhile, the Keepers in the Forbidden Lands were keeping an ancient wyvern chained from his fate. Could these two monsters be bound by the same destiny? Or maybe it’s not that deep haha!

Imma hope it is so that way Capcom can bring back Gore Magala! I wanna see him in 6th gen and 60fps! MISS MY XENO DRAGON!

i like that you could argue the chains in arkveld’s design are to represent both it being chained up by the keepers but also that perhaps its how it restricts the frenzy virus

nice theory, crazy that almost all your wishes and predictions came true

Jakob: "I may have a latent power of Monster Hunter predictions" Yian Kut-Ku: "And I took that personally"

I thought this was gonna be another "arkveld could have the same skeleton as gore and be related1!!!1" but this is actually a cool theory. Might be interesting seeing a flying wyvern being as strong as elders

Why be Arch rivals when they could kiss?

Bro can cook.

Apparently from a credible leaker who said congalala and yian kut-ku was coming to wilds has also said gore and shagaru magala are coming back.

why couldnt u wish for mhs3? do that for me ok? predict it for me

MH Frontiers introduced Origin species which are ancestors to "modern" species like Rajang. There's some Frontiers influence in the reveals & Arkveld's design. In recent "leaks", it mentioned that Steve & Gore are going to be in MH Wilds

Super interesting theory. I think the role of the Keepers is a bit iffy on how it'd fit in all of this but it could work or at least the story could have something similar to this. The connection with Fabius would be spot on

The thing I like about this idea is that it would continue something that I have come to love about this series. Even if succeeding MH games can, and often will "rhyme" in how they may reuse concepts that came before? It's often not going to play out in the exact same way. For example, Rise basically bought back the basic beat of "the antics of flying serpentine elders cause other monsters to go amok and evade other ecosystems" from Portable 3rd, but to say the least, Zinogre being a confused pup that was antagonizing the locals was quite from the Rampage that would be caused by Narwha and her mate. So, at worst, if Jakob's right, Arkveld would be somewhat continuing the idea of a specific monster type that hunts another (or others), not unlike Nergigante did it. But how different it could play out in Arkveld's case could be very interesting to see play out, whether it really be because it goes after Magalas, or "something else" that was from its era that is giving Arkveld a very good reason to go on a tear.

Honestly id be disappointed if this wasnt the plot for Wilds. And... I think Gore appearing in Rise might have been a tech demo of sorts to get him prepared for the newer game engines. There might even be evidence of older MH portable games doing something similar for the home releases.

Maybe the Keepers worshiped Gore (or Shagaru, since it's much more "majestic") and that's why they hunt/imprisioned Arkvelds, if this interaction between the two monsters proves to be true.

NGL you’re kinda cooking

That only makes the leak of magala returning to wilds even more believable

We did get a leak in the rathaloswatch discord that gore magala will return from a Japanese guy in the marketing

Honestly the references to mh4u make this really believable

To be fair, one important thing to note about Gore Magala is that it's Frenzy virus explicitly doesn't work on Elder Dragons, so I think that, in general, what normally keeps Gore Magala and Shagaru Magala in check, is competition with other Elder Dragons IN GENERAL. And I don't think Arkveld could challenge Shagaru Magala without being an Elder Dragon, himself.

Unpopular opinion, but I hope Gore Magala (and by extension Shagaru) don't return at all in Wilds, not even in the G-Rank expansion. I'd rather that Wilds have a roster of completely new and unique Elder Dragons with *no* older ones returning, not even Nergigante.

Sorry, it may be out of topic, but.... Isn't it a lil bit saturated for Gore to be deal with across three generations? In 4U, Sunbreak, and...Wilds again..? 😅😅😅 I have no problem if Gore appears in Wilds tho, but Gore as one of the main motives of the story might be bit too much for me. If there's Gore, there must be Shagaru. If Shagaru takes the spotlight, the we might just call it 4U remake...🙃🙃🙃

I lovepredicting monster hunter’s features, I accidentally guessed half the stuff they’ve revealed in wilds just by writing down features and mechanics I wish were in world

I love this theory man!

I wonder if they'll ever explore the ancient civilization in any game. I feel like there's a lot of untapped potential there for cool mysteries that aren't "new big bad monster has appeared, go kill it to protect the ecosystem."

it could be that Arkveld is a ancestor to Akantor and Ukanlos? there are some similarities, the general shape, the fangs to Akantor, the color to Ukanlos and if he is to be as strong as gore magala it would make sense that he his connected in some way to some other elder dragon level flying wyverns, also it has this ancient aura to him, just some thoughts of mine.

I think your theory is also heavily supported by the theme music, particularly the main theme that was released by the live orchestral version. For wilds i predicted a plot line that involved working with the aid of the flagship monster that wasn’t an elder dragon, due to the main theme music.

Dude the monster hunter team has said that wilds is its own game and not tied to any other game in the series

there was a unconfirmed leak that had gore magala as one of the returning monsters so you could be right, but even if it's not, you are right about arkveld playing a more important role as he seems to be targeting one of the apex monsters in the reveal trailer

Okay, this is a more crackpot theory: the reason why arkveld was chained up was so it could be put into the ancient dragon weapon. I know that sounds crazy. However, we do see that those chains have fused to Arkveld, so what if the Arkveld species was mass hunted as a binding agent for the ancient dragon weapon. Then perhaps the keepers were just doing their task, not actually knowing about what the ancients did. Perhaps you could say that the binding agent part of Arkveld could somehow make things live longer, perhaps, which could fight off the frenzy virus.

This is a great theory, especially after how much this game already references mh4 is super interesting to see how much inspiration capcom has taken from mh4. This theory sounds super solid especially with gore showing up in sunbreak. I hope it’s true, it’d make an amazing story

black and white, yin and yang, it makes some sense.

That's a very well constructed theory and it ties nicely to past events, wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being this way. My personal wishlist for the plot is for Loc Lac to come back and tie some things so we go back to the last point in recorded history, that last sandstorm, or maybe we find the ruins from a last Morhan having crushed the entire place on it's migration

I want this to be real so badly.

So let's say you're right, why does Arkveld attack the apexes of the regions? (Atleast from what i have heard from the Wilds story) My guess that maybe it does it to prevent them to become infected and turn into highly dangerous Apex monsters. In 4U, only really strong monsters can become an Apex after being infected. Also it seems that larger individuals tend to have a higher chance of survival (like the Apex Seregios in the story). So it would not only be fighting Gore Magala, but also the apexes to prevent them from getting infected and turning into Apex monsters (i know this is kinda confusing with the whole "apexes" and "Apex"). Your theory makes sense, since why would a species like Gore Magala even evolve, if a single one can eradicate an entire continent? Like, what should it or its offspring eat after that? There needs to be something balancing it out. Arkveld wouldn't even need to kill Gore directly. It just needs to kill potential Apex monsters and infected monsters to keep the virus in check. What would it even gain from that? Its still an animal. A normal animal wouldn't make such decisions? First, it would gain food by killing the monsters. Also assuming it has a immunity to the virus. Second it would also prevent the apexes to turn into even more dangerous beasts that could be a danger to Arkveld itself. Also if it hunts and eats the infected monsters, then it might not want to kill Gore at all. It would make sense for an intelligent animal. If something else is killing and weakening animals for you, then use this to your advantage. So killing Gore would be a disadvantage.

*Reads title* No

There’s a reliable leak from some person in China if I remember correctly. But he predicted key features in the weapons showcase before the second trailer, predicted the first two revealed returning monsters also before weapon showcase videos were being dropped. If this continues to be reliable the five circles on the logo symbolize five locales, the next reveal will be Nerscylla followed by Blangonga, then Seregios, and lastly your theory about Gore Magala and Shagaru isn’t far off. Gore and Shagaru as well as the frenzy are going to be key components to the story and Arkveld. Again this is all relying on a leak source that was and has been surprisingly promising but we don’t know if this’ll continue to be so. So take this information with skepticism but I’m optimistic about this. You didn’t hear this from me trust.🍷🗿

Hey does your prediction show anything about a monster hunter 4 ultimate remaster?

Gog I want this to be true so bad. Capcom give us a climatic fight between Arkveld and a Shagaru I beg you

Geez you really did predict everything about this game!

I've always wanted way more story lore implemented into the games

I think this is a very interesting theory, and it would be really cool if it comes true! I actually had a kind of similar theory about xeno and alatreon, as I believe the elder crossing was actually dealt with by alatreon in the past, which is why it appears in the secluded valley (to fight and defeat safi). If that is the case, a similar cycle with arkveld would absolutely make sense given the similar context

World and Iceborne did give precedent on nature having a auto correct on issues. Zorah trying to blow up Xeno and nerg keeping the recess empty of elders. Iceborne has Velkhana and Ruiner checking the everwyrm along with Safi being checked by black dragons.

that lego arkveld is fantastic.

When Arkveld attack Uth Duna, he use his tentacles to absorb Duna strength ( similar to safi'jiiva). Maybe therse 2 have connections

Based on your prediction track record I now 100% believe your theory and expect both Gore and Steve to return in Wilds!

This is by far my favorite theory on the story I have heard so far My one question is if this ends up true(since you have a psychic ability) Would shag be the final boss? I would actually love if story focused on gore and Arkveld but then actual story goes back to true final boss of the other expedition teams But post expansion story is about Shagaru

I love your videos Jakob

Would be cool to see what's the result of a "Deviant" Elder Dragon, it's the same kind of interaction as with (some) deviants, what happen when an hunter try to repel-kill a monster but ending up just mutilating it and creating a traumatism within the creature, thus, an immensely dangerous creature in the future. I could see this happening with Arkveld, somehow emprisonned by the Keepers for X reasons, but ending up just exploding like a kettle, which the emprisonment only increased his pressure/resentment. It may sounds like too humanized for an ED, but if IRL Elephants can remember specific crocodiles and/or human poaching attacks and act aggresively similarly of what we could a Revenge. I could see an Elder Dragon or whatever Arkveld is acting similarly...

What’s the source bro? “Just trust me”

This is a cool theory. I also feel the same somber tone of the game. The main theme gives me that vibe too. I like it a lot.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD in a recent leak, from a credible source, gore/shagaru magala was confirmed to be in the game. Not only this, they said that gore has a strong story impact. The leaker was a chinese leaker, and they have currently been truthful so far, going as far as predicting the follow up attack to the helmbreaker. This video may very well possibly be right, or very close.

Welp, there's a supposer leaker who nailed Kutky and Congalala coming back, and it claim that not only Gore and Shagaru are coming back, but also they and the frenzy virus will have an impact in the story. So there might be some relation to Arkveld.

i refuse to call the chatacabra by its official name. that thing is called the sticky-licka, as far as i'm concerned.

I believe (cant find footage atm) the Virus flashes white-blue when you overcome it i game, in my memory it seems similar to Arkveld's colorscheme. The glowing purple energy it has might be contained or controlled Frenzy energy or related

Well, one thing we can be sure of is that Arkweld won't be the last of its kind. Just from a meta perspective, we know it'll be used in several quests, and the master rank expansion will have a buffed version of it as a fight. If there's only one, our hunter killing it once would be the end of it. It can't even return in future games. So capturing for preservation as an excuse works.

There IS speculation that Gore Magala will return so It's not completely unreasonable of a theory.

Sounds interesting. I find most MH narratives to be pretty lacking but larger, overarching stories would help make the world feel a lot richer

Speaking of the pinecone boi, whens steve coming to the collection?

Aren't sunbreak parasites are also variation(some what evolution related) of gore magala one. So high chance they will continue story about frenzy

a leaker who correctly predicted returning monsters in the correct order they were revealed made a prediction for gore magala returning in wilds and if hes right then you might actually be onto something

I hope they go all put with this game like they did with World.

Might explain why it was supposed to be extinct

didn't the devs already said, that the story isn't related to MH4 or any other MH Title?

dude, don't act like you aren't aware of the leaks that gore is coming back, acting like the frenzy virus coming back is something that came to you out of no where

I agree with everything you've said up until the Gore stuff, even knowing the newest leaks and stuff I just don't think it will happen

Really cool vid, makes me even more hyped lol

This will age like wine

If your theory is right, I want to see the Ace Gunner and the guy with dual blades.

Way to have a big wishlist of things that were likely to happen. You know what we call this? Predicting 8 o'clock at 7:30. Nice pat on the back, this intro. 😂

So you tell me Arkveld was Anti-Venom

Since you got a lot of predictions correct Can you say that gammoth is in (Coping)

I kinda hope the frnzy is back in some way, mosyly because I dont like the way world/rise did tempered/risen/apex monsters.

Why do You people Consistently FUCK UP THEIR NAME PRONUNCIATIONS?!!!!

a decent storyline would be nice

THIS IS WHAT I'VE SAYING SINCE THE REVEAAAAALLLL! The skeleton, the head shape and the coat over its arms/wings just remind me of Gore so much. Also it was considered extinct?? Like it being a lost monster would set it up to be a relative or a starting point for the magala monster genus/line so easily for one of the most notorious monsters for having unknown origins. It came to thoughts that, Arkveld was either the deterrent for Gore due to it being from the same family or a stronger ancestor that realized their descendants lost the ability to contain the frenzy in their body properly(the loss of the chains on their body could explain that) and so instead of outright annihilating the Magala line they just stopped the ones going berserk with frenzy.

4:15 Alma is mommy confirmed?

I had this theory first

POSIBLE SPOILER DONT READ!: why im feeling that this story teory is base on that... supouse leak

omg o.o if this comes true we will saint you!

Hope its true.

Good job pretending you "Predicted" the things uve straight up picked out from the MH Subreddit from 2021 ... How weird that 99% of the things u mentioned here are all in that subreddit arguing about the next MH game before rise was even announced and everyone thought MHW2 was the next one ... Which you can still look up today right now ... And your entire "Theory" was posted by user "CoffeeSuu" on 28th of september ........... Which is clearly you ....... for sure .......... massiv coincidences ... truly WILD
