"Fighting a Lunastra is like riding a bike except you can't get on the bike and the bike is burning you and it's on fire and you are on fire and the ground is on fire and everything is on fire because FIGHTING LUNASTRA IS HELL"
@@Dnznxbebwushdn i initially found kushala dora to be one of the easiest of the elders, only ranking it harder than teostra because the whirlwinds are annoying to deal with (god help you if one appears over a monster corpse), and i apparently didnt get ko'd by teostra's supernova. Having refought the elder dragons, id put kushala on more or less the same level as kirin assuming you are decent at dodging (im a DB main so being good at dodging is a given), and kirin is easy so long as you avoid the lightning bolt and have the grapple claw or a weapon capable of damaging him in his super kirin mode (with DB most attacks deflect or do 1 dmg), not really sure where val hazak fits into that.
I like that they made her theme a little more mystical than Teo's. They both sound regal and imposing, but her's has more of goddess you don't want to mess with feel.
Teo’s is royal and imposing like a noble king. Luna’s is majestic and elegant like a beautiful Queen The trumpets are replaced with harps which help differentiate this whole regal status of theirs and I love how they handled it!
Too bad you can’t hear this theme over the amount of faints from Bias heatwave hit boxes covering half the arena- *Lunastra does heat wave halfway across the world and I die*
this... had to fight her again in master rank for a weapon, and even with my best fire armor, fire mantle, astera jerky and cool drinks it still takes 95-99 percent health before horn break. i just chug heals in between supernova's aswell just to be sure
"Name: Lunastra (New World) Title: Flame Princess Dragon Average Length: 1828.68cm Average Height: 627.56cm Foot Measurements: 112cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Fire Dragon Family: Tesukato Habitats: Elder's Recess, Wildspire Waste, Guiding Lands" "Despite Teostra being rarely seen, his female counterpart is likely more elusive. Lunastra is a brutal female Elder Dragon that can be found in the Old World and was recently discovered in the New World by the commission." "Much of her ecology is identical to Teostra's, like the fact that both can be found in the Elder's Recess and Wildspire Waste in the New World, but there are a few differences between the two." "Compared to Teostra, Lunastra is more wary of her surroundings and scares easily. In the Old World, a single person is always sent to hunt a Lunastra since these elder dragons are easily startled by more than one hunter, fleeing the area the moment they feel outnumbered." "While the ones found in the Old World are rather skittish, the New World ones are quite bold. While most elder dragons ignore smaller creatures, the New World Lunastra will stand her ground, even if she's outnumbered, and attack immediately." Click on the link: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1276340158493753348?s=20 ) "Lunastra has only just been recently reported in the New World, and her reason for being there is due to the mating season. Lunastra goes to the New World to find a mate, and she becomes more aggressive and aware of her surroundings because of that as well." "Since Lunastra is more dangerous than usual and isn't frightened easily during this period, the Research Commission allows four hunters to hunt her at once in the New World." "While Teostra is the Emperor of Flames, Lunastra is the Empress of Flames. Much like Teostra, her control over fire is unrivaled, but her flames hotter than her mate's with the help of a blue powder that adorns her wings and tail." "While Teostra's powder explodes in a blast, Lunastra's powder explodes into lingering blue flames. By snapping her jaws together or using her outer shell, Lunastra can ignite patches of blue powder she leaves on the ground and set an area on fire." "Although Lunastra doesn't use blast like Teostra, the blue flames she leaves behind on the battlefield more than makes up for what she lacks. Those flames not only burn enemies but heat up the area dramatically, making it nearly impossible to survive a Lunastra's onslaught." "Like Teostra, Lunastra's horns are thought to be the key to her abilities." Click on the link: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1276446674643288064?s=20 ) "While Teostra has the Supernova, Lunastra has the "Hellflare."" "The powder around her body increases the air's density, making it easier for heat to build up in the air in the surrounding area, which raises her own body temperature as well as the area's." "When the temperature reaches a certain high point, all of the powder around her will ignite at once, and an explosion will occur, thus creating Lunastra's Hellflare. She'll spread the powder around a wide range before using this deadly attack." Click on the link: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1276354779468509184?s=20 ) "Teostra and Lunastra have never been seen together in the Old World. Footprints in the Tower were the only indication they were ever together, but that changed when a Lunastra was discovered with a Teostra in the New World." "For the first time, Teostra and Lunastra were seen working together and protecting each other as a team, and these two do make a deadly couple." "These two are capable of combining their abilities in an elaborate courtship display that is beautiful yet deadly to any nearby creatures within the vicinity of their love." Click on the link: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1276465848576667650?s=20 ) "Noticeably, the New World Lunastra has more fur on her body, including some running down her back to her tail. It's considered likely that it's either due to the mating season or could be from her adapting to the New World's environment." "Kushala Daora is capable of blowing away Lunastra's flames, and some of its attacks may combine with said flames." "Sources 1. DIVE TO MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD モンスターハンター:ワールド 公式設定資料集 - pg. 380 - 385 2.

I was playing Monster Hunter World and fighting Lunastra. When 1:24 kicked in I had to stop for a second as I had too many shivers and my eyes got wet. I have been playing Monster Hunter since I was 12, now I'll turn 30 next year. That part reminded me of the good ol' day's fighting Lunastra on PSP when I was around 15, so I couldn't hold the emotions. One of the best games to ever be made.
Woo! I've been eagerly waiting for this since I saw the trailer for her.. This is really cool to be able to finally see lunastra in all her empress glory, and the song's really awesome
Eh, i made this comment like a year ago. And at the time i thought Sexyback by Justin Timberlake and the teostra theme sounded similar, so i made a comment about. Tl;dr: i made this comment because i thought two of my favorite songs sounded similar.
I feel like Lunastra is definitely a fight that would work really well in Rise, especially with wirebugs/wirefall. The added mobility, and being able to jump out of her fire would make this fight a lot less annoying, and maybe even fun?
I love your mhw music videos not just for the quality of the music, but also because of the gameplay. Mhw is my first monster hunter game and after screwing around with a few weapons I’m currently running with the bow as my main. Whenever I feel like the bow is sucky or that I’m just really bad at the game I come and watch one of your videos to watch what you do, and I think to myself “well if they can do it so can I >:0”. I was doing the SDF event quest one time and while I had completed it with a full party before this was the first time I was going solo cause no one responded to the sos flare. I almost debated on giving up and retrying to see if anyone would join, but I remembered how you use the bow in your videos and how easy you make it look, so I decided to keep going. Killed the Jho and Odagaron just fine and within seconds of eachother, Lunastra carted me once from her supernova attack but in the end I managed to beat her as well. Your gameplay is extremely inspiring :)
i just tried to sync the two theme, this one and the teostra one. teostra need 1 sec delay. almost perfect....weird the novas are almost sync up the a*** of the evil hunter too.
Unpopular opinion: Lunastra is my favorite elder, and I thank this fight for forcing me to change my play style and end up learning my favorite weapon of all time, the Glaive. Ultimate game of floor is lava. Also just my favorite elder dragon design aesthetically and theme-wise. I hope to GOD they don’t retire Lunastra after the backlash, if they could fix Kushala they can fix her lmao
Ashame most people wont recognise these subtle differences in the themes that are like gold dust but everyones too focused on the fight to take in the music...
"An Elder Dragon has been reported causing blizzards in the Snowy Mountains/Arctic Ridge and Polar Sea. It isn't Kushala Daora but something far older." "Monster Hunter Frontier G9.1 introduced a new ancient Elder Dragon to the game. This icy Elder Dragon is known as Toa Tesukatora, the Frozen King Dragon. Toa Tesukatora is native to both the Snowy Mountains/Arctic Ridge and the Polar Sea." "A close relative of Lunastra and Teostra, Toa Tesukatora could quite possibly be their ancestor but the exact connection between them is a mystery. What is known about Toa Tesukatora is that it has been around much longer than the two Flame Dragons." "For a long time, Toa Tesukatora remained undiscovered by humans because of the blizzards in its environment. Toa Tesukatora's presence can cause blizzards that can last a whole year as long as it's in an area, forcing humans and animals to stay hidden from the terrible weather." "Unlike Kushala Daora's snowstorms, Toa Tesukatora's blizzard will slowly freeze any creature caught in the middle of the storm, especially if they aren't moving and standing in one place. Its breath can also freeze almost anything instantly." "Much like how Teostra is the master of fire, Toa Tesukatora is the master of ice. It uses a powder found on the scales on its wings to manipulate the cold. It spreads them out with its wings like Teostra before rapidly cooling any moisture caught in its powder with its horns." "By shaking its horns to produce vibrations, Toa Tesukatora can rapidly cool the moisture caught in the powder it has left behind to create snow and ice, allowing this Elder Dragon to manipulate the ice element better than other monsters in its environment." "Like other Elder Dragons, Toa Tesukatora is smarter than the average monster. In fact, much like its cousins, it prefers to keep to itself and doesn't want to be bothered by other creatures. It'll only turn aggressive if it feels threatened by anything." "When enraged, Toa Tesukatora is known to cover the whole area in an intense blizzard that'll slowly freeze its attackers. If the low temperature doesn't kill them first, then Toa Tesukatora will." "The fur on its body keeps it warm in colder environments, preventing it from freezing, and ice has frozen over its mane. Strangely, the ice never melts, even when brought to warmer climates." "The Frontier Team had a hard time designing Toa Tesukatora since its relative was Teostra, and it was using an element opposite to fire. They had all sorts of ideas for Toa Tesukatora's appearance, but eventually, they decided to give it a frozen mane." *Source: BannedLagiacrus Twitter page*
SPOILERS FOR MONSTER HUNTER LEGEND'S OF THE GUILD! I REPEAT, SPOILERS FOR MONSTER HUNTER LEGEND'S OF THE GUILD! I'll never look at Lunasta the same way ever again after actually seeing her kill two people...
if you watched Monster Hunter the Movie, then Nerscylla's killed pretty much an entire military regiment, one of them by laying eggs in his body and having its babies hatch out of him in a grosser display than Xenomorph chest hatching. Diablos killed two people as well, and Rathalos tore apart a military convoy and burned people into charred skeletons. They're animals, they don't have human morals. They've canonically in the lore of the games and other media, KILLED people.. A LOT.
@@mikotomisaka8714 Yeah, but we've never seen it in game! Going into the [THERE IS NO LIVE ACTION MOVIE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?] I expected that kind of thing because it was just a bad action film. You see this kind of thing from other bad action films like sharktopus or pirhana. So that doesn't count. Legends of the Guild was different because it was accurate to the games completely! It was basically a feature length Monster Hunter cutscene!
@@saurianfan7102 unfortunately for you, the movie is confirmed to be canon to Monster Hunter World, and Aiden himself actually appeared.. in that movie.
@@saurianfan7102 it really wasn't bad.. it was better than the Res Evil films at least, and the monsters were well made. Plus they picked good actors to play serious handler and MHW handler.
Me: Well, i just got my Fatalis gear. Guess i should go back to High Rank and see what i missed. It will be a breeze. *Extremoth, Ancient Leshen and Lunastra* : 💀💀💀
The fact that the lunastra has some of the theme that has some calming beauty hearing music while teostra theme like it is clearly the same for lunastra and teostra but the lunastra beauty parts are tyrantful hearing to hear as king
with full fatalis armor, this blue oversized feline can still put you down and she does not even need to touch you, she let you come closer and slowly eating your hp without you even noticing. Damn, Lunastra is indeed more horrifying to fight with.
Funny thing - World actually reversed the in-lore tendencies of the two dragons. In the Old World, Lunastra would at least give you a warning roar before going to town on you, while Teostra would attack on sight. But in the New World, Teostra will just ignore you after a brief glance unless you actually attack him, as if he considers you unworthy of his attention; meanwhile, it's Luna who attacks on sight in the New World.
Lunastra isn't as bad for me and my friends as most people say. I enjoy the fight actually. If you're properly prepared this fight becomes really tame aside from the occasional ultimate attack. My friend fought a master rank lunastra with banbaro gear which wasn't even fully upgraded I believe. Success with one cart left on the first try. Tho admittedly he fought her many times before and played a weapon he was really familiar with. And yes I can confirm it as I watched the intire fight via share play on Ps5. I cant wait for her return eventually since she got lost on the way to rise
description is wrong it's an old elder dragon. It's last appearance before world was the wyporium giving you it's armour in exchange for teostra parts armour wise. Other than that. 2 and freedom that is it in actual game appearances.
To those who have played the series from the start, i would like to ask. I've been playing the original Monster Hunter on PS2 quite a bit lately. If i'm used to the controls of that title, is there a possible way to change my control scheme in World to match that per my preference? (I don't actually have the game so i really can't check.)
i dont think so the ps4 version beter play the pc with a controler, iv played all the mh games on emulators , but they always change 1-2 buttons each gen which is quite anoing
Lyra Veil well, i can at least alter most controls to fit the old style. (Good for me, i'm getting so used to the claw.) I got the game last week and having a blast, but sadly no multiplayer on my PS4. e.e gunna get it on PC during a good sale post release though.
damit man y could have waited a month XD , im amphidexius and i hate buttons for consols it always feels like 1 hand is slacking off while the other does everthing
As much as fighting Lunastra sucks, at least the devs did her original role in the story justice. Remember, she's a *final boss,* she *should* be this hard. The only reason she was considered weaker than Teostra is that she was introduced in Low Rank offline. That's like saying Rakna-Kadaki should be stronger than Magnamalo because the latter is the Village final boss and the former is High Rank only. They're the same threat level in your notes, and lore-wise Magnamalo is a way bigger issue.
Painfully frustrating/annoying as this boss/monster was (and STILL IS) for me, I’ll admit her boss theme was pretty cool (and slightly better composed than her mate Teostra’s theme)…
If they don't have this theme playing when the Lunastra is shown in combat in all her glory, I will be disappointed. While the Teostra's theme is the music of a King's army marching to war, this is the music of a goddess joining the chaos of a battlefield
My nightmare... it was for me the hardest monster of the game... if you flash when he fly that doing nothing and so agressive if you think kirin is hard that mean one thing ! you never fight a lunastra !
