So, about Wilds...

Post by Eremital »

Major spoilers ahead for Monster Hunter Wilds, if you haven't finished the story I'd definitely recommend doing so as it may be one of the best lore drops in the series.

Spoiler
So, wilds not only canonize's the idea of the Equel Dragon Weapon, but also hints at the great dragon war being the fall of Wyveria, which is insane to me. I can't stop hanging out in Suja and just looking at the vista of skyscrapers and just taking in how massive they actually were, which begs the question then of what the purpose of the ancient tower is in my mind. From what I can gather, the forbidden lands is the same continent to the East of the old world where the tower is, kind of weird it's not mentioned at all, but we can assume it's the same civilization since Wyveria stuff is the artian sets.

Godbugs are super plentiful in the forbidden lands but especially in Wyveria's area alongside gloamgrass, as well as guardian monsters drop nourishing and pale extract, all have major healing properties really makes me think it all have some bit of walk in it.

I'm trying to rack my brain to remember old scraps from dos and other older gen games about the ancient civilization and see if there's any more callbacks or retroactive explanations for stuff now with Wild's reveals, any thoughts?

I wouldn't say that it "canonizes Equal Dragon Weapon." It's a bit more open to interpretation than that. It clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the concept, don't get me wrong.

The biggest thing of note is that both the Forbidden Lands and Castle Schrade were destroyed about 1,000 years ago. Whether that's a coincidence is up to interpretation, but I certainly don't think so.
