Kushala: "That's a nice corner over there, hunter. It'd be a real shame if I knocked you into it and then made a tornado right on top of you. Wouldn't that be something?"
I’m a dual blade main and I don’t use anything else so I used dual blades for this hunt. It was a nightmare, but I did it with like 3 seconds left on the clock
SnS and DBs are really miserable to use against Kushala. Especially in MR where you basically only get 2 flashes. The best you can do is put on temporal or rocksteady mantle and use the iceborne flinch shot to force him down, but sometimes while he's flying the wind aura overlaps on his head enough to force you off anyway
I know the wind aura was annoying, but it taught me to aim for the head and tail more, instead of wailing on him on random parts. It's a weirdly rewarding fight.
This is why we like music in video games. Theme is mysterious but powerful asf as if to stick it in your face that the events that transpire are magnitudes above your character. It’s dark and powerful music.
"Name: Kushala Daora (New World) Title: Steel Dragon Average Length: 1913.13cm Average Height: 689.1cm Foot Measurements: 103cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Steel Dragon Family: Kushala Habitats: Elder's Recess, Ancient Forest, Guiding Lands" "Size Comp. Old World (2nd Gen) Average Length: 1577cm Average Height: 475cm Foot Measurements: 110cm Old World (4th Gen) Average Length: 1802cm Average Height: ? Foot Measurements: 110cm New World (5th Gen) Average Length: 1913.13cm Average Height: 689.1cm Foot Measurements: 103cm" "Well known for appearing in many places in the Old World, Kushala Daora is an Elder Dragon that shouldn't be taken lightly by anyone, especially from the fact that it'll sometimes attack settlements. Like many other Elder Dragons, it has been reported living in the New World." "In the New World, Kushala Daora's main habitat is the highest part of the Elder's Recess, but it has recently been seen in the Ancient Forest due to both Nergigante's and Xeno'jiiva's activities during the latest Elder Crossing." "Kushala Daora is often called the Steel Dragon from its metallic hide, which is comparable to steel, forming a tough exoskeleton around its body. Kushala Daora's bones are visible since they're so closely integrated with its skin, making it hard to differentiate the two." "Kushala Daora's wings are particularly hard, making them difficult to break or penetrate. Due to the metallic nature of its body, Kushala Daora can't tolerate areas with extreme heat for very long and doesn't venture to the more volcanic parts of the Elder's Recess." "As Kushala Daora grows, its hide will rust from oxidation, and it'll eventually need to shed its skin in a cold environment. After shedding, it'll be in a vulnerable "Molted State" (脱皮), causing it to become vigilant and aggressive as its soft skin hardens over time." "Kushala Daora is most well known for its ability to control and manipulate wind. Specialized organs inside of its body produce the wind that it breathes and cloaks itself in, but not much else is known about said organs. What is known that Kushala Daora's horns control its wind." "According to hunters, the wind around it dissipates when its horns are broken, greatly weakening Kushala Daora's abilities (Wind barrier, flight, etc.)." "Since the horns are also metallic, it's theorized that Kushala Daora's horns produce an electromagnetic field that allows it to surround its entire body in a barrier of wind, preventing most creatures from attacking it easily." "As mentioned previously, Kushala Daora's internal organs allow it to breathe wind out of its mouth at enemies. Hunters describe getting hit by its wind blasts is like taking a blast from cannon head-on." "The strength of each of its projectiles varies depending on the strength of its wind barrier, so it's a good idea to try to weaken its control over wind as soon as possible. The stronger the barrier, the stronger its wind blasts are." "Kushala Daora's teeth are small, so it can breathe wind blasts out of its mouth smoothly without anything inhibiting the force and speed of its projectile-based attacks." "Kushala Daora is also capable of creating tornadoes that'll push back enemies and send arrows/bullets/other projectiles flying back at hunters that try to attack it from a distance." "In the Elder's Recess, a Kushala Daora's nest (Area 4) can be found and surrounding it is vents that release gusts of wind due to the environment's layout. While in this nest, its control over wind drastically increases, and it can surround itself in multiple twisters." "Kushala Daora is often followed by intense storms whenever it appears, causing most monsters to flee out of fear of its power. Its presence is enough to influence the very weather, and it can even majorly change the surrounding ecosystem with just its presence alone." "Despite its appearance, Kushala Daora's entire body is quite heavy due to its hide's metallic nature, preventing storms and other hazards from stopping it in its tracks as it moves." "Kushala Daora's front and back limbs are muscular, allowing it to move quickly despite its size and weight. Its back limbs, in particular, are longer and thicker than the front ones and its hooked-claws give it the necessary grip in the ground it needs as it charges at foes." "Besides protecting Kushala Daora from attacks, the wind that it surrounds itself in also helps it to fly while the tail is its center of gravity, balancing it on land and in the air." "Kushala Daora's body structure and wings are as if layers of metal were stacked onto each other, allowing it to freely stretch out its muscles and flap its wings as it uses its appendages." "The Kushala Daora encountered in the New World fly less often than the Old World ones, spending most of their time on the ground rather than in the air, but their wind abilities are outstanding." "It's reasonable to believe that the ones living there are old experienced individuals that can better control their wind abilities. Kushala Daora were reported traveling to the New World during the Elder Crossing about 20 years ago." "It was recently discovered that Elder Dragons go to the New World to die, but it seems a bit extreme to imagine a large number of Kushala Daora went there to pass on... Rather than going to the New World to die, it's considered likely that they went there for a different reason." "Living and, breeding, in a different environment are thought to be the likely reason, however, there is a lot of bioenergy in the Elder's Recess, and said energy can help an old Kushala Daora live longer than usual, which could explain why no molted shells have been found." "Keep in mind that was before the Kushala Daora molt was found in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne." "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. 348 - 353 2.

The one thing I will tolerate from the MH movie is the idea of traveling into the MH universe and back, but only so it can be cannon that this could be a possibility.
Honestly, I despise World Kushala but it’s also brought about the most co-operation I’ve had with my mates. Someone (usually me) brings a hammer and always has flash pods stocked in the slinger. The moment he flies away from his tornado, the hammer flashes every 3 or so minutes and everyone just keeps beating him until he’s elder sealed or KOed and when he isn’t during any of those times, the gunner statuses his ass until he’s down on the ground or open for the GS used to Sleep True Charge his head. It’s a wonderful MH moment but outside of that, DAMN HE SUCKS
Here just to show love to the fact they put in a leitmotif of the main Dos theme, just like they did for fatalis with kokoto’s theme, but this one goes more unnoticed because the main theme of MHDos is much less well known
The theme? Amazing. The monster design? Amazing. The battle? No no no no no no no no no no no no heck you no no no no no I hate you no no no why why why why why holy heck holy heck why why no heck no no no no no no
@@JeanKP14 oh great so the first monster hunter game I play immediately gives me a gentle slap in the face with an invincible wind monster. That's cool that's cool
See, I played some of the old world games on the 3ds and GU on switch before getting world. Kushala was one of the first monsters I ever farmed, with a really fair and balanced fight that took some time to get used to. In world, they said "How about we turn the hunter into a goddamn piece of paper and see what happens if we SPAM FUCKING TORNADOES" (I have soloed arch-tempered Kush 3 times still, I hated EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.)
...does having good Elderseal REALLY make that much of a difference? I fought this guy with the upgraded Deviljho Hammer and absolutely destroyed him. Hell with his susceptibility to Flash Pods it just felt like I was fighting a tankier Rathalos
The theme of 42 minutes of waiting for the monster to come down on Earth so I can stab it a few times with the standard issue army knife that is my charge blade now.
Fought this guy back in 4U, so when I played World and got to Kush I was ready with flashpods. The mounts were satisfying and the battle glorious. I have yet to cart to him in World, but gods know I did back in 4U. Kinda sad we don't have Rusted Kush in World but ey, can't have 'em all in the game I guess.
In the past I was never able to defeat Kushala Daora in MHFU. Today, in MHW, armed with a High Elderseal Nergal Reaver LS, I was able to take it down alone, after all those years. My past self is avenged.
I still reflexively load my bowgun with Sticky Ammo when I hear this track Thank god for that ammo since it allows you to fight Kushala like you were Scorpion in Mortal Kombat.... 'GET OVER HERE!" *charges Wyvernblast*
@@lightbrand_ Have ye listend to Luigi's Mansion 3 soundtrack? If not, I do recommend that. To be specific, it is very similar to a Luigi's Mansion 3 Boos Theme.
@Brambles First of all, I said "It sounds like something from Luigi's Mansion 3" which I'm not implying a specific theme, I'm implying that it can fit perfectly in a Luigi's Mansion 3 Soundtrack within a boss or a chase theme, the trumpets do most of the resemblance to a Luigi's Mansion 3 track. The closest being Stewards theme, since it sounds more of a chase theme. Insummarry, Kushala's theme sounds like a chase theme in Luigi's Mansion 3 but more buffed up to suit more of a fight. So it probably sounds more of a Ghostcatching theme without the violins part and replaced with Trumpets. I will give ye examples if ye want. Again, this is my opinion and I found similarities between the two since the notes sounds similar to a chasing or a very hectic one at that.
Same mate when it finally lands, I usually GS snipe its head after it fires its wind attack then true charge slash it when I finally knocked it down. Its wind is really annoying tho.
I played as db in my first ever MH experience and didnt know about flash pods even till i reached here. I assumed the wind barrier was the same everywhere so i kept spinning in with my dragon blades, hoping to proc elderseal on its body and not the head/tail. I somehow manage to beat it to the point where it runs off to sleep. I chase it down, and then i get hit with the classic: thrown between a wall and the wind tunnel. Twice. I cart after a long, weary battle and rush in, thinking "fuck it, if I fail I fail. I dont want to deal with this anymore." I do one spin attack on it and the freaking lizard falls to the ground, slayed. That bastard was a sneeze from death and still had to stunlock me into a cart before i could obtain the spoils of the fight. 10/10 would recommend
Kushala daora was the first elder dragon that I hunted. My first play through of world he was the first one I attempted, but then I took a break from mh for a while. Then I just decided to restart the game from the beginning, and kushala was the first elder dragon I fought again, and I beat him first try. I remember it felt so good that I went on to beat Vaal hazak and then teostra both on my first try as well. That’s probably why kushal daora may be my favourite elder dragon.
Kushala: "That's a nice corner over there, hunter. It'd be a real shame if I knocked you into it and then made a tornado right on top of you. Wouldn't that be something?"
Capcom: Ever wonder what it feels like to be a plastic bag on a windy day? HERE YOU GO.
Congratulations to Kushala for having the biggest disconnect between how good the fight is and how good the theme is. It wasn't even a competition
Never agreed more on something. Can't top it
So far, this is the best version of Kushala's theme IMO
I’m a dual blade main and I don’t use anything else so I used dual blades for this hunt. It was a nightmare, but I did it with like 3 seconds left on the clock
Dual blades are button mash
@@chamitoempire1672 i think he meant the short range of dual blades. You know, kushala doesn't know what ground is and has that freakin wind shield

IKR, as dual blade main I feel it. Could kill it but it's a painful, long process.
"And here is where I bring my poison weapon to drop his wind aura... IF IT STILL WORKED THAT WAY!"
o my god thats what i was supposed to do thx
@@silverlyder Plot Twist, Poison still doesnt work on it......or anything practical at all really besides using ranged
Elderseal is garbage honestly. Leave that shit in world and iceborne
Now his wind aura is useless in Rise.
I literally brought poison smoke bombs for the Kushala fight. I felt so disappointed when it didn't work on him the way it used to.
I know the wind aura was annoying, but it taught me to aim for the head and tail more, instead of wailing on him on random parts. It's a weirdly rewarding fight.
