Been a very long time since the last upload; that's because one of the videos ended up being much bigger than I initially planned. I look forward to sharing it with you all!
Enjoy this one in the meantime!
I like how both aren’t elder dragons since people would usually come to the conclusion that their elder dragons since their so big but knowing these are flying wyverns are terrifying
It kind of makes sense too, their abilities aren't that crazy compared to elder dragons.
They're ED and you can't change my mind
@@gitgud9704i they’re just as strong if not stronger than most elder dragons regardless of whether or not they’re classified as elder dragons. Not like they’re lesser simply because they’re not classified as elder dragons.
I don't get it, if they lost their wings they should've just reclassified them as something else, like, up to this point in their life they were flying wyverns but now they are X.
@@FriendlyGoblinWasTaken like what? Titan wyverns? Wingless titans? Chunky bois?
Akantor and ukanlos would make a absolutely amazing title update for wilds especially if they where giving to us together, and I for one would love to see them put into normal maps, I just really want to see the Akantor vs Gravious cutscene made into a real turf war
It would be so crazy to see them in normal maps lol, like Raging Brachy in the guiding lands.
no
they gonna put them in base game :)
@@HeavyWings I think it will definitely happen of wilds is open world
@@alderwield9636 I mean would be nice but capcom is gonna save the big heavy hitters for thr updates and these 2 are prime candidates for title update monsters
On the subject of Ukanlos gear, having 3 pieces of Ukanlos gear (helm, arms and legs) was meta for many G Rank sets in 4U, and is referred to as a UkaUkaUka set.
Mixing it with Teostra is the most common
UKaUKaU is specifically mixed with Kaiser, hence the name: U Ka U Ka U.
@@CR-og5ho ah, normally that's the only mix I'd ran with it so I just figured it meant Uka-nlos. That'd make more sense.
I'm really excited to fight akantor and ukanlos when I finally get to them!
They're pretty good fights, if a bit tricky without friends!
Wow those P3rd Arena's... i also wasn't aware of how beautiful they are! I always enjoyed the atmossphere of the polar field fight in 4U, especially with that cutscene and all but the night time fight? Fits with Ukanlos' theme of "gracefully terrifying" as i'd describe him. Thanks for the video
Edit: oh and also, i was surprised how much they've changed over time! It's probably because i fought them in 4th gen the most that i didnt realise it. Cool
Yeah I was surprised too! They put a lot of effort into them and it's a shame they never returned.
Ukanlos' blademaster chestplate was amazing in gu. That cape with the massive pauldruns made it my permanent layered armor
Shoutout to Odibatorasu for being the long lost third sibling
They're both so insanely cool. Why they haven't been back since GU I'll never know.
Nice way of integratingthe Red God by using Odibatorisu theme
I really like his theme lol, hope they bring him over to main series one day.
When they eventually come back, I'd like to see them double down on terrain manipulation for their fights. The design of them really gives the sense that they shape and expand the environment to their liking, which would explain why we have to fight them and how they earned the moniker as 'Gods'.
Akantor and Ukanlos would be good monsters for Wilds.
For sure!
frontier's got a red god fascinatingly. but also you are never able to capture them strange indeed also akantor eats gravios for breakfast canonically.
they got the vibe of elder dragons but aren't them likely due to similarities to tigrex.
I noticed that you played Odibatorasu's theme in the 4U section
Love these two guys! They have awesome designs, music, and gear. Though I’ll be honest I was never a HUGE fan of Akantor’s fight, mainly because of his astronomically (but understandably) massive charge hitboxes (and putting him in Ingle Isle was a mistake if you ask me, but that map is its own can of worms) but Ukanlos is an absolute blast to fight. They’re both definitely at the top of the “Needs to be in Wilds” list, and if they do come back give them their P3rd map iterations back too. The aurora in Polar Field was so mesmerising and is sorely missed, and I never want to see Ingle Isle again. Raging Brachy escaped it, so can you Akantor!
Akantor along with White Fatalis are the best monsters in the series
This is outrageous! This man played Helldivers 2 with me to distract me from watching his new video!
small correction akantor can be fought g rank in freedom unite. it is a dlc quest called high altitude king
Akantor and Ukanlos Monster Hunter Wilds =D
Inshallah!
Akantor was the biggest wall to me in Gu and probatly in the entire series his defense down was so brutal but i do really like him mainly because of his design and his fight
Wow! Thanks for making me dread when I eventually meet these 2 in GenU!
I personally think they should be reclassified as Fanged Wyverns at least of the Zinogre and Magnamalo group. They have the larger or taller shoulder muscles not found in pseudo wyverns, have their chest further up from the ground and have a more erect posture to their forelegs then pseudo wyverns. Their wing fingers have either reduced into small blade like growths or vanished. All of these traits are features of the Zinogre and Magnamalo group of Fanged Wyverns.
They already have a placement on the ecological evolution tree. I doubt they'd be reclassified for that reason alone, since IIRC they connect back to Tigrex, unlike Remobra (which AFAIK are the only monsters to ever receive a true re-classification between generations) which are on their own little branch.
@@randomnpc445 While I agree with you that this is unlikely, there definitely is a part of the Monster Hunter community that likes taxonomic reclassification that would appreciate this. The amount of people that want pseudo wyvern and raptorial wyvern to be their own groups is a good example of this. Akanator and Ukanlos were also introduced before the fanged wyvern group was introduced, so it is at least possible.
While I personally think that World actually did spec evo relatively poorly, mainly having weird morphology, it did bring even more of the spec evo crowd into the Monster Hunter community. I still think Capcom is *unlikely* to capitalise on this, but it could bring in *some* interest. I guess it really depends on whether reclassifications are going to alienate the rest of the community, it certainly could risk making monsters harder to refer to.
I’ve always wondered what would happen if these two ever encountered each other it would be the biggest turf war ever I really hope they return to the main game someday.
Imagine an event quest where you have to hunt both in an arena
Akantor was my first wall in 4 ultimate that made me realise i needed to focus on skills and learning movesets to get better and although ukanlos is a cool fight akantor will always be my favorite over ukanlos due to memories it gave me of beating it after 15 trys.
The Ukanlos wall was rough because he was the only thing in the way of G Rank, tough times lol
I wish Odibatorasu and Poborubarumu got into the main series, they are two interesting flying wyverns that share a lot with Akantor and Ukanlos
I really enjoyed those guys in Frontier, would love to see them back!
I'm a bit late, as a new hunter only playing world so far I love how Ukanlos looks. I feel like if he came back, possibly with more cool ice lazer attacks to be his thing he would be very enjoyable as a challenging large monster.
Ooo was that amatsu evolution sneak peek 👀
I really like Akantor, it is Tigrex bigger, blacker and scarier missing daddy.
The Penguin and Ostrich of Monster Hunter.
Akantor is just a colossal Tigrex, and I love that. I wish Ukanlos had a fast small counterpart. It does share some Moves whit Narga, and maybe Barioth I think, but most of its Moveset doesnt look like anything I know from other Monsters.
There are some aspects relevant for Ukanlos Weapons. Like Akantor, it has colossal Raw. But it has also low Ice, its Sharpness caps at White, and it has very little white to work whit, and its Affinity is negative, and the negative Vallue is very high. Also I belife Akantor has actually quiet great Affinity, maybe?
Man i love both of them so much. Imo they count to best Designed Monster.
Would realy love to see them in Wilds with a bit updated Moveset
a few corrections:
in G rank of 4U Akantor can also triple charge like Tigrex. Also blocking a bite attack still cuases defense down.
Ukanlos in 4U can dig twice in a row when his HP goes below a certain point making the attack harder to avoid as each evade takes a lot of stamina.
A quick note is that Akantor weapons have insane affinity too so if you bring mind's eye and a weapon like charge blade that relies on raw you can seriously hurt monsters.
i miss this guys i want to see them again in nextgen mh
Akantor feels like fighting a modded gold crown Tigrex with even worse hitboxes but i can't help but love him anywwy.
I swear there was a game that said that Tigrex nargacuga and Barioth were pesudo-wyverns I don’t remember tho but I swear one of the games says it
"Pseudo-Wyvern" isn't actually a real term they use in the games if I remember correctly, it's just a term people use to differentiate Tigrex, Narga, Barioth, Gigginox etc because they use their wings to walk
Seeing akan the very first time body gravios was nightmare fuel.
Especially because Gravios is such a tank. For Akantor to swing him around like nothing is crazy.
The GOATS. Better be in the next Ichinose helmed game.
Ive never seen the lava canyon map, it looks sick, also the polar field without the aurora borealis just isnt the same...
who looks cooler?
well its hard but im gonna go for ukanlos since i love his fish like dragon appearance.
thanks for the good day!
I literally spent a few days farming Akantor in G Rank because I needed his HC 1% carves to upgrade his Longsword in Frontier. In Frontier his weapons got a massive overhaul as they boast high raw and massive purple sharpness.
Weirdly enough, Ukanlos never made it to Frontier. Not even as an Exotic Species.
Yeah I always found that weird lol.
I remember fighting Akantor in 4 Ultimate on the 3DS. I was scared of it.
talks about ukanlos and akantor
puts odibatorasu theme after him being the other big, odd, fligthless flying wyvern
I Know Gaiamgorm Did Toke Notes Off These 2 But it's Nice Regardless They Should Show up in a Future Instalment
Imagine if we got a hybrid of these 2 in wilds with its own unique elements and the combined attacks of both, then for its cutscene have it casually slaughtering a raging brachydios or a major elder dragon now that would be terrifying.
There was a third one in Monster Hunter Frontier, his name was Odibatorasu.
@@lubbo5261 I’m aware of him, he was cool with his sandy shenanigans. Wasn’t crazy on his design mainly the head shape. Though in regards of that hybrid idea I was thinking more like something similar to Eruzerion.
interesting that rise basarious has ukanlos dig attack maybe they gonna add both to the game but didnt have much time?
Eh I doubt it. A lot of monsters share attacks.
defense down happens on freedom 2/unite too
Anyone ever realize akantkor is using Fus Roh Dah and Ukanlos uses Fo Krah Diin when they use their ultimate breath attacks
I do have to agree with you i prefer the polar field from mh3rdp than in 4U/GU version becoz of the beauty of that sky
Akantor was best set in MHFU due to the sheer fact that could have all interrupt-negate skill, like earplug, to name one
I really like Ukanlos because his design makes sense for his ecology, he feels like a feasible creature. His fight (in 4th Gen at least) is challenging but fun and it’s so satisfying to break his chin. Akantor is one of least favorite designs in the series. It’s a spiky mess and looks like a Zelda monster, not a sensical animal. I enjoyed its fight less too, but the big issue is the design.
I really wanted them in gen 5 just so I could hear ukanlos theme
And I didn’t know why they just won’t call them elders dragons
Yea sure they had wings at one point and are built like flying wyvern but their basically evolved into something else.
Also can you make an evolution video of all the final boss?
If I make a video on the final bosses, it won't be an evolution one.
Akantor is harder than Ukanlos imo. Akantor's arena is more hazardous and while both monsters hit incredibly hard, Akantor can inflict double defense down which is worse than regular defense down. As if Akantor didn't hit hard enough already, he can hit you even harder with your defense halved, so do yourself and your team a favor and bring adamant seeds.
Also, if Akantor pins you and you don't have dung bombs, it's curtains for you. Akantor's pin attack not only hits really hard and inflicts double defense down, it's also the hardest pin to escape in the game and as seen in the video it has a finisher where he hits you with his beam which is his strongest attack.
Speaking of which, his beam is a team wiper because unlike Ukanlos, Akantor can sweep the whole arena with it from the other side of the map.
The most crucial advice I can give when fighting Akantor is that whenever Akantor burrows underground, ALWAYS assume he's headed toward the other side of the map. When you see Akantor burrowing, you need to stop what you're doing and beeline it to the other side of the map asap, trust me, you need the head start, bring dash juice if you think that'll help because you got a lot of distance to close. If you're not next to Akantor when he emerges from the ground, he will fire his sweeping beam and it's not easy to dodge and unless your armor has a lot of dragon resistance you will not survive the hit and this is the most common way squads fail Akantor's quest. And for the love of god, don't block his beam. You need guard up to block it and even if you have it, you take so much chip damage from blocking it, even with guard +2 it's almost the same as letting the beam hit you except your stamina is also gone by blocking it
I never fought in mhfu because when i fought ukanlis i thought it was the end
The other thing is
I dont think any of the Arenas in the game are big enough for them to be in for Sunbreak
Minus MAYBE the two Boss Final Boss Arenas but those dont work thematically
Yeah that's the issue; you'd have to make new arenas for them. It could be a good investment because the arenas would probably be used for other monsters; like in 4U you can fight Rusted Kushala in the Polar Field. But it would be expensive.
@HeavyWings yeah that's the thing
If multiple things used it that would be different
However, there are no other monsters that would make sense to be there
If someone counters the Final Boss of Sunbreak is the only one for his arena
That's because final boss arenas are different XD
Cause technically All Mother had her own Arena where as both serpents had access to the other one
Ukanlos has the better theme but Akantor has the better design. Rocked his armor in G-rank for a long time in 4U until I learned the art of making mixed sets.
That being said, G-Rank Ukanlos armor design kicks so much ass. I think I like it a little bit more than Akantor just for the cape. I think Ukanlos has the more interesting fight too, though I also have a vendetta against the Ingle Isle so maybe that's making me biased against Akantor a little bit.
Ingle Isle haters rise up!
I gotta say
I first encountered them in Portable 3rd but i couldn't beat them
I was also playing Freedom Unite and i was close to G Rank, then Akantor showed up as one of the Urgent Missions
I literally had to fight them at the same time in both games 😂
But i first killed it in Freedom Unite
Then i was able to kill it in Portable 3rd
Ukanlos on the other hand was only on P3rd and i hated it so much
It's painful to remember how hard they were for me but i was able to beat Amatsu almost on my first try (just because i forgot stones for sharpness 😂)
Now i can beat them easily even with bows
Such amazing monsters
I was sad because P3rd doesn't has many monsters but at least it has Agni and Rudra haha
i truely miss these two monsters. I found ukanlos easier than akantor. akantor's defence down is easily underestimated to newer hunters. hunter's in often get carted by his roar and most hunters i played with online don't stop his wind blast attack with a sonic bomb, which often leads them getting carted. i'm usually the one having to stun him. idk why most players don't stun him when it's easily avoidable and it's not that difficult to read when he moves to the corner of the map to fire his attack
wish to seem them make a return in the next portable game!
These two are monsters I'm kinda just, "eh" with. When I play games with em, I'm not really ever going to go say "I really, REALLY want to fight these guys," and I don't really know why.
I think their designs are pretty cool, the cocept of Flying Wyverns who no longer have wings is sick enough, and their themes are pretty good but eh.
I don't feel strongly about em either way nor have any interesting memories with em.
Maybe if they get revamped I'll find something to really latch onto.
That's fair.
Lava geezer
But who would win in a fight
Can they be trapped?
They same, same. But different. 😂
I rather fight Akantor, especially after the Super Ukanlos in 4u 😤
Tbf High Rank has a Super Akantor that also hits very hard!
I hoped capcom put them into wilds but noooooo...
Hey Wilds isn't out yet!
@@HeavyWings but the top 20 votes are out and no akantor was among them
@@gamingispleasure8436 they put Jyuratodus in Rise specifically because he was unpopular. Trust me it won't have that much of an impact.
Ukanlos is cooler 😂😂😂
These two being flying wyverns has the same logic as Dodrio (for one example) being a flying type. There is a reason, it's just not valid.
forshawdoing....
Both are pretty awful fights with annoying gimicks and limited moveset while being obnoxiously tanky. Both love to waste as much time as possible by either moving to the other end of the map/charging in Akantors case or just spamming that dig attack in Ukanlos’ case.
I disagree that they're awful but I do agree there's a bit too much time wasting. Bigger moveset variety would fix that.
still glad i never bought rise
