It would be funny to end the video with a clip of you guys killing it in like one minute, after talking how powerful he is

Research Commissions: "So, Nergigante lives to balance the nature by eating the elder dragon that mess with nature" Also Research Commissions: "Let's kill it and hope the nature doesn't become unbalance"

Nergigante has 1 major tool that puts him advantage over elder dragons. THUMBS

Wow. Pls keep this series. It's one of the most interesting topics about MH verse.👍

"One of why nergi is classed as elder dragon is because it is eating another elders." Poor rajang. Maybe that's why it's so furious everytime I see it.

I want the lore of our beloved rocket elder dragon Valstrax, this series is so interesting.

The person who edited this is a real g. Very smooth transition and effects.

I want to know more about the primal forest and the giant skeletons including Dalamadur.

Zinogre would be a fun one to talk about since he is quite unique

i want shara ishvalda lore, he's just so out of this world

Elder Dragon: Haha, Nerd-gigante! Nergigante: Shut up... Elder Dragon: Or what? You gonna hurt me? HAHAHAHAHA Nergigante *turf war* Vaal Hazak *turf war* Elder Dragon: Oh sh*t

fun fact: ruiner keeps his wings up when he isn't fighting and rarely moves them, likely due to the metallic spikes all over the 'wrist' joint restricting movement.

I figured ruiner was just knock out conscious, but if he did in fact played dead, he knew that shara was in the area but didn’t know exactly where he was, during the fight we had with him he decided to play dead to draw him out but didn’t expect he’d be buried alive and spent the whole time either digging his way out or waiting for an opportune moment to attack.

ive always loved nergigante, primarily because he is just a powerhouse not relying on elements as a niche but instead on pure strength alone and then ruiner applying that with intelligence as well

Nergi honestly has to be my favorite monster so far. How can you not love a monster that comes in and finishes off something like Shara Ishvalda, especially in the brutal way that it did.

Surely I can't be the only one that thinks nerg is kinda cute and really want to pet him (Probably not a good idea but anyways)

Yeah do this stuff for sure, I would love to see Vaal Hazak

I already love this thank you for doing this

I'm already enjoying the series! I also appreciate you making this because your one of the most popular monster hunter youtubers so more people can be told about the ecology of the monsters.

I’ll watch every single one of these do them all please!

I honestly *adore* Horn Dragon Nergigante, and I hope the design comes back for something in the future.

A great Idea for a new series ! You just know what i need.

Lore Video. From TDS. This is gonna be good.

This is really pleasant for those of us that cant get our hands on official MH Lorebooks. Thank you TDS

I've noticed that Nergigante has "toe beans".

I already love this series! Can we have one on Namielle next? It's such a gorgeous dragon and it blew my mind when I first saw the colours on it! Also, great video as always!

YES I NEED MORE OF THIS

Can someone just make like a 1 or 2 minute video of nergi idling. He's honestly so adorable when he idles, when he looks around or nuzzles against objects with his sharp spines. Or maybe just make a video where all the monsters can be seen idling

For me its the Wolverine Dragon, and its my favorite.

8:47 I'd love to see this concept used for a new monster in the future. A really cool design with cool abilities too.

Fatalis would be nice he has one of the most interesting lore in the mh universe if not the best actually

Thank you for making this series! I plan to play Monster Hunter Stories 2 and your lore videos are helping me get a better understanding of the world.

Yes, would love more MH ecology videos since that is arguably the most fleshed out "lore" of the franchise, and that's fine considering how much thought and creativity Capcom puts into creating these monsters. As for who'd I like to see next, either Glavenus, Zinogre, Ahtal Ka or Valstrax would be my picks.

awesome video, looking forward to more of this series. even though I don't play the game anymore.

This was awesome! I'd love to see some lore about Vaal Hazak!

8:59 THIS needs to be something

Absolutely love this. You should do bazel and deviljho. They both have really interesting lore and physiology

This series of videos is wonderful! I love the direction you guys are taking with this. I'd honestly love to see you cover either Dodogama or Shara Ishvalda.

Ive been waiting for this so much!!!!

I actually want to see that horned acid dragon it looks really creative and would make an intresting fight such a incentive design it would have been something very cool to fight.

I’ve always found the biology of Monsters interesting and entertaining, this is exactly what I needed. More please ☺️

Ok at 1:42 that was cute, I see you Capcom you make a badass durring all the time we see it, but when no one is watching it acts like a big spike covered doggo.

Ah yes as an Lore-Sucker i can really appreciate it!

There is nothing more satisfying than attacking Nergigante's spikes.

A Chilenian RU-vidr "Masamune TV" has got an entire series as this video, telling the history, ecology and origin of each monster

You better make more!! I love how in-depth you go and the images you show while on a specific subject.

I'm am, 1,000,000% down for more content like this my dudes

Rajang and his furious variant next please. Perhaps trying to explain how Rajang, for his size, can go toe to toe with elders. Loving this series.

The Extinction Dragon T.E.D nergigantes real name is ted

I'm suuuuuuuper interested in this series. I'm actually in the works of creating a homebrew Tabletop System just for my friends and I'd love to get videos like these as points of reference on monster ecology.

I would love to learn more about the most dangerous monster in the new and old world... Team Darkside.

Oh man I love this series, please keep going man. This series are interesting, I would to see more.

Yep in love now the thunder puppy next

Yeah, I really like this kind of videos. The way of how Chris edit this videos make them really enjoyable.

This is my most favorite thing to look forward to

I really hope you continue to do this series because this is incredible! I know that my friend has been searching for lore ob Vaal Hazak for a while but can't find anything good. So it would be awesome to see you cover that!

Please! More of this! Now! This is prime entertainment for any hardcore Monster Hunter fan.

Plsss do a collab with BannedLagiacrus if u wanna continue with this series. He is, when not, the best MH-Researcher out there. ^^

Nergi in lore: The Destroyer Neegi according to player : The Punching Bag

Love this series already my only note would be not to confuse new fans of the series by using sub-species and variant in the same sentence as it could confuse them. Great series otherwise 👍

There are so many cool monsters out there with detailed roles in their ecology! I'm hyped for this new series!

I love this concept so much ^^ it's gonna be so cool and especially when you're going to talk about lagiacrus or valstrax (two of my favorites)

wait. MH has plot.

I'm brand new to the Monster Hunter fandom, I joined with the release of Monster Hunter Stories 2 (as turn-based RPGs are more my thing and I don't have the quick reaction time necessary for the punishing main series), and I am simply blown away by the complexity of this world's biology. Every monster is carefully developed, taking inspiration from real-world biology, which makes the zoology nerd in me VERY happy. I've spent hours in MHS2 carefully documenting (like, in a notebook!) how each monster behaves. This is a much more developed world than Pokemon, the "fantasy monster" series I've loved since I was a child. We don't get very much on Pokemon other than their Pokedex entries and the moves that they learn, and if we're lucky some extra lore from the anime. But the monsters in MH are painstakingly constructed with both the biggest and smallest biological and fantastical details in mind. Even if I won't ever be able to play the main series with my handicap of poor reaction time, I think I'm here to stay. And yes, Nergigante is one of my favorite monsters. Its ridiculous regenerative capabilities, colossal strength, hunger for life force, and the way it seems to reproduce by just spreading its own cells rather than breeding kinda makes me think of Jenova (and those enhanced with her genome) from Final Fantasy VII. (then again I just love Jenova and her horrifying cell manipulation stuff so maybe I just like to compare freaky monsters to her). Thank you for this lore video by the way, I now have a better understanding of why the Nergigante in Stories 2 acted the way it did. I thought it was just drawn to fight Oltura because it sensed it was a threat to the ecosystem, but the realization that it probably wanted to EAT Oltura is WAY cooler. I wonder what would have happened if it had been strong enough to do so.

I see Nergi, I WATCH!! I love my asexual child

This seems like a good little series starter. I would like to see more if you're willing to do a video on every monster in the game or even the whole series

This series is so good. I hope it catches on, I'm looking forward to more videos! I'd really like to know more about the whole Jiiva family, considering their unique development.

Love the new content! That regenerating horned dragon concept art is bizarre and creepy. I like it, but it doesn't feel like Monster Hunter at all. The final Nergigante we got is really well-designed. Nerg feels so much like a bear or big cat in how it looks and moves, which emphasizes its status as a predator of Elder Dragons.

SOOO COOOLLL

I really appreciated that this wasn't just some tidbits snagged off the wiki. You actually went into details on the different functions, beyond vague ideas of "Yeah spikes regrow." Hearing about the oxidization process and such gave some awesome insight, which are normally details I'd never discover. Please, keep this series up, as I'd love to hear about all these hidden tidbits of lore.

lore is always a nice thing with monster hunter. more background to define the series as more than just hunting monsters is always appreciated so keep up the lore videos. more people, even if a small amount, will enjoy the games because of it and im sure of this

字幕ありがとうございます！とても見やすかったです！今後も楽しみにしてます！！

The thing that always struck me most about nergigante Is that for some reason it always seemed more human than any of the other monsters. Even the ape ones. It feels less like you're hunting a monster That's just following instincts, and more like you're in a street fight, throwing down with some really pissed off dude that really hates you personally and wants you dead.

One of the best done lore videos out there, going really in deph to the monster and managing to keep saying interesting things for 11 min for a single monster. Very good

Here’s a tip to fight nergigante on your assigned quest. Bring mega barrel bomb, flash pods and 10 mega potions. (Demondrug/armorskin) 1) Try not to aim for the horns and it’s spiked legs as swords can’t pierce through them. 2) Aim for the belly or tails 3) When he moves to the area that’s full of crystal, aim for the crystals that’s on top to deal 800+ damage due to boulder smash 4) He’ll be on rage mode after he‘s awaken from his sleep, be very cautious 5) Spam your dodge button when he’s lock on to you (You’ll notice it when he’s looking to your direction) it’ll mostly be flying at a high speed and fly directly into you which is a one hit KO move. Run away from your original position and spam dodge. 6) Throw flash pods when he’s on mid air or when he’s limping away. When he’s blinded, deal as many damage as possible. So it’ll be easier to finish him after he’s awoken. 7) Place as many Large/Mega barrel bomb on his horns when he’s sleeping (Might break his horns and it’s rare to get those items, can be used to create rarity 8 weapons) 8) It’s better to have a bow hunter on your team to shatter his horns and tails 9) DO NOT attack his back when he’s playing possum when he fell down (Not due to after a mount) 10) Have an insect glaive hunter too for easier mount. If he’s down from mounting, this is the part where he’ll be the most vulnerable I hope that this tips help, I’ve fought nergigante for 20 over times and this is the most efficient tips I can give.

Please keep this series. It could be one of the longer series of videos on the channel and if the rest of the videos are as in depth as this one, I'm sure they will become very popular in the community as all your other videos do

I have a thought on how nergi launches his thorns, when he fires them he does it after an attack, which means that his paws are shock absorbent and the energy from smashing his arms or head into the ground goes up to the thorns and causes them to fly out with concussive force.

Just to mark one thing (in case if you forgot or didn't even thought) Nergigante has an Etmology in his name. When we first craft Nergigante weapons, the name "Nergal" appears. Nergal, in sumerian myth, is the god of death and war and the one who rules over the underworld. While "Gigante" refers to the portuguese word "Giant" probably a reference of his class as an Elder Dragon, since, as monsters who control the various forces of nature, elder dragons could be considered giants or titans that passed through the land way before the rise of new beings. Therefore, cutting the "gal" in "Nergal", we have Ner-gigante, or simply "Death-giant", thus giving the thing the title of "The Extinction Dragon", a giant who brings death to all, no matter who it may be.

I love that when you think about it, Nergi is just a die hard battle junkie

Always love the lores of monsters, love this new series

Great series, it made a lot of fans to look forward in upcoming episodes of this series, especially regarding their favourite monster. Well done and thanks TDS for always presenting great "fan service" to us!

more of this! good thing nergi was your first its my fave elder!

This channel keeps getting better with expanding the type of mh content.

By far the best MH lore vid I've seen, please keep doing these. This was superb

Nergigante is one of my favorite monsters. Absolutely love this guy. Thanks for the video!

As a newb who only recently started hunting this monster I'm totes excited to learn more.

This would be an amazing series if you decide to continue this for every monster.

Chris, you and your crew are the best combat, and challenger players I know. I love your content please keep up the great work.

The behaviors and biology of monsters are one of my favorite parts of the series! I would love more videos like this

“The quality of Zorah’s energy was also higher.” *Nergi connoisseur 👌*

The Rath Famity could be Really Nice to see With Some Lore Sense there the Flagship of the Seriers it self

So cool TDS! 👍👍🔥🔥🔥Absolutely amazing, I really really enjoyed it and hope to see a lot more videos of this series😃 I think it would be very interesting to get some information Velkhana, Namielle, Blackveil Vaal Hazak or Furious Rajang/Raging Brachydios. PS: is the series only about new world monsters or about old world too?

I loved the video and definitely would love to see more also lore on tobi Karachi would be cool

I loved how you used the TFS abridged version of dragon ball for your cell analogy

Woah very cool and very smooth transitions, love it guys! More of this, please!

Nergigante's spike doesn't actually have to be all harden before doing the dive bomb. If you pay attention, some parts without any long spike will be forcefully grow and harden before the attack(Pay attention to Nergigante's head at 5:15), the start up roar is Nergigante using the bio energy to the spikes so they can grow and harden, but only for a short period of time. Also, it's AT LEAST 1800 spikes.

the most mysterious monster of all needs a video of its own its probably the biggest enigma in all of monster hunter, its none other than.....Bulldrome....

From what I understood about Nergigante during the story, he's some kind of antibody to the new world when something abnormal happens, like when Zora changed it's route, young Safi waking up or when it sensed Shara. He always goes in a killing spree to prepare to what upsets the balance.
