What's cooler than being cool? Getting the hunter stuck in a corner and spamming the ice blast until the hunter runs out of stamina and can't Superman Dive anymore
One of the best Elders out there. So elegant, so agile, so pristine... And its fight is one of the funniest in my opinion, challenging and rewarding once you learn every counter.
@@Dave_Chrome the fact you need to keep moving, and not only random moves, but well thought positioning etc... I find this fight really entertaining and I’d never get bored of it.
To quote your original comment, you say "its fight is one of the funniest in my opinion," and that's a bit confusing. I definitely understand now what you meant but when I first read it I was curious lol
Yeah me too but thats what is so amazing about capcom and their music team for the game they really know how to make almost perfect music for the mh games and this fight with at velkhana is a perfect ending in my opinion. MHWI is the best video game ever made for me.
"Name: Velkhana Title: Ice Dragon/Iceborne Wyvern Average Length: 2596.05cm Average Height: 760.17cm Foot Measurements: 98cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Ice Dragon Family: Velkhana Habitats: Hoarfrost Reach, All Locales in the New World, Guiding Lands" "Thought to be a mere myth, Velkhana is a legendary Elder Dragon that was discovered during the Legiana Migration to the Hinterlands. It wasn't officially known until one was discovered while the commission was investigating this mysterious phenomenon." "One of the reasons why Velkhana wasn't discovered until recently was from the habitats that it generally inhabits. Velkhana prefers to live in cold mountainous regions, or other secluded locales, which can be hard to navigate for most creatures, including humans." "It has also been seen inhabiting the Ancient Forest, Wildspire Waste, Rotten Vale, Coral Highlands, and, particularly, the Elder's Recess." "Velkhana has massive wings, estimated to be about twenty meters long, to aid it in its flying. It's believed that another reason why Velkhana mainly lives in cold mountainous environments is that it rides the wind currents found there to aid in its flight." "Despite the appearance of its scales, Velkhana doesn't have any feathers to keep itself warm in tundras. Similar to waterfowl, Velkhana circulates blood through countercurrent heat exchange, via its wings, to maintain its body temperature." "While most Elder Dragons use their claws for combat, Velkhana rarely ever does. Similar to Barioth, Velkhana's claws primarily are used hooking into the snow and ice in its environment. With the help of these claws, Velkhana can't slip easily." "While Kushala Daora molts its shell in colder regions, Velkhana goes to volcanic regions to do so. One might think those blue parts on its body are scales, but in reality, that's a special kind of ore that Velkhana adheres to its body." "Velkhana's power comes from this ore that it adheres to its body, and it attaches this ore to itself to control the supercooled water inside of its body. The more bluish the Velkhana, the stronger the individual is." "Velkhana can manipulate the cold. It produces "supercooled water" inside of its body and breathes it out of its mouth. This water is below zero yet isn't frozen, but freezes rapidly the moment it comes in contact with an object, making it an effective weapon for Velkhana." "As Velkhana fights, it'll secrete some of the water out of its skin and it'll become a white mist that floats around the area. If one of Velkhana's beams come in contact with the mist, it'll create ice." "Depending on where the mist is, Velkhana can form ice walls, making it harder for other creatures to maneuver through an area, and even cause large blocks of ice to fall out of the sky onto enemies." "Besides using its icy breath, Velkhana also mainly uses its spear-like tail as a weapon that it savagely stabs its enemies with. If its tail is sliced off in combat, it'll create a new one out of ice to continue its onslaught." "When engaged in combat, Velkhana is known to immediately cover its body in ice by secreting and freezing its supercooled water on its body before taking on a threat. Blue = The ore on body Green = Supercooled water/ice that makes its armor" "The ore that Velkhana uses is similar to volcanic glass, and Velkhana will usually nest within areas where this rare ore can be found like the Hoarfrost Reach. Recently, very little of it can be found in its native habitat, causing it to venture to the Elder's Recess." "Velkhana can make this ore by rapidly cooling magma. Whenever it molts, it'll replace the old ore to revitalize itself." "As a warning to any creatures that enter its territory, Velkhana is known to freeze any smaller monsters it encounters and leave their frozen corpses for other species to see."

My favorite part about this theme is the little melody at 1:34-1:48. I wish they had that melody keep going for a while longer and built on it more. I think it would have made the song even better if they did in my opinion.
Probably because this theme is majestic and tells you that the game is really ending(cause no new monsters anymore).Its a perfect theme tho in my opinion to end off monster hunter world and iceborne
@@LilBih05 they didn't say Velkhana was the last AT monster tho. Way before they said in a dev diary that both new elders and the ones that had an AT version will get a Master Rank AT.
I don’t necessarily agree. In early master rank in my crappy armor Velkhana was a threat. She messed me up the first handful of times I fought her. Once I got better gear and learned the patterns then she wasn’t much of a threat. But AT definitely is a threat, she can delete you but all of her moves are fair and it’s an amazing boss
It was a pain to beat but thanks to a HH and another dual blades we did it but the true mvp was the S&S player who had ALL THE HEALS he kept me and the team alive 24/7 only had like one faint I don’t remember who that was but thank you and may all of you have good hunting Edit: iceproof mantle and full ice resistance turned the almost one shot attacks to something survivable don’t forget to pack the right mantles friends and also if you don’t like statues full resistor may help just a suggestion but you all have your strategies and I’m not gonna stop you we all have our preference of hunting and that’s ok
I'd like to thank the team of randos who helped me through this hunt and were probably the reason why I beat this hunt on my first try while running -9 ice res
This fight.. I tried my best to snap it with a challenge build, and my gosh, just so bulky, and the reinforced Ice Armor manage to keep the margins so uncertain. I still don't think it's possible with my set up to even do it...
*Hunter shoots giant overhead crystal above AT Velkhana*. AT Velkhana: *Barely flinches when the crystal drops on top of her* Was that your best shot? Allow me to show you mine!...
An absolute nightmare of a hunt for me I found fatalis way easier or maybe it’s cos I’ve done fatalis a hundred more times and already downloaded his move set

@Clifford if you're going into an AT Velkhana hunt without at least 20 Ice elemental resistance, you deserve to fail.
Ice Cold
so trueeeeeeeee
@@RBsRealm Me who went into the fight with only 3 ice res and still did okay: *Insert meme where the monkey puppet looks away like nothing happened *
you can break the ice.
Oh my goodness that poor lance user.
He has a legiana lance. Poor baby
Meh, lance isnt that bad for at velk. Just need to stay beneath his chest to help avoid his sticky ice breath.
@@TheDustyMuffinsss Yeah but he's using an ice lance
Actually Lance is fucking good against her
@@doc6161 unless its a layered weapon~
This theme is so Divine. Long Live Velkhana.
One of the best Elders out there.
So elegant, so agile, so pristine...
And its fight is one of the funniest in my opinion, challenging and rewarding once you learn every counter.
What about it is funny?
@@Dave_Chrome the fact you need to keep moving, and not only random moves, but well thought positioning etc... I find this fight really entertaining and I’d never get bored of it.
@@hiimshana I get that, but how is it funny? Do you just mean that it's one of the most fun?
@@Dave_Chrome I don’t get your question lol
I find AT Velkhana really entertaining: fighting it gives me a lot of fun.
To quote your original comment, you say "its fight is one of the funniest in my opinion," and that's a bit confusing. I definitely understand now what you meant but when I first read it I was curious lol
When I fist heared this in game, I really feel like it's clearly the end for iceborne(sorry for my bad english)
Yeah me too but thats what is so amazing about capcom and their music team for the game they really know how to make almost perfect music for the mh games and this fight with at velkhana is a perfect ending in my opinion. MHWI is the best video game ever made for me.
@@LilBih05 one of the best or the best monster hunter ever!

she just wanted a goodbye before we move to monster hunter rise 😔

Gonna miss this game so much.
@@JusticeDrago95 me toooo. I cannot wait for the next console/PC mh game
@@LilBih05 Yeah, I plan to play the hell out of Rise, then hopefully the next title is maybe a PS5 title.
putting frozen corpse around the house to let others know of her presence. Dawn that's hardcore
My favorite part about this theme is the little melody at 1:34-1:48. I wish they had that melody keep going for a while longer and built on it more. I think it would have made the song even better if they did in my opinion.
One last dance in the place where Winter sleeps.
Damn that hunter in the pick must be a pro! Using an Ice Lance against Arch Velkhana!
Arch velkhana: alright everyone chill ❄
This theme makes me sad for some reason but I love it! Velkhana is so underrated can't wait for future monster hunter games!
Probably because this theme is majestic and tells you that the game is really ending(cause no new monsters anymore).Its a perfect theme tho in my opinion to end off monster hunter world and iceborne

@@TPLR15 oh shit i didnt even know that. That would be great if the other elders would all get an masterrank AT.
@@TPLR15 thats good to hear always had a feeling we would still be getting AT’s
this reply thread didn't age well
What a powerful intro!
Such a graceful and beautiful monster with a fun moveset, masterpiece
Song is good send off and a goodbye to all of us, see you in the next one hunters
Why is this not available in our room on the music player when we slay her it's in serious contention for my favourite track of all time
I really enjoyed this hunt. Kept me on my toes. I even screamed for my life at one point.
1:34 - 1:38 Kinda solemn and sad but majestic at the same time
Truly felt like fighting against Winter itself. Velkana never was a threat until AC, this was when I truly understood why it was an Elder.
I don’t necessarily agree. In early master rank in my crappy armor Velkhana was a threat. She messed me up the first handful of times I fought her. Once I got better gear and learned the patterns then she wasn’t much of a threat. But AT definitely is a threat, she can delete you but all of her moves are fair and it’s an amazing boss
Velkhana in the beta was an absolute menace
I like the entire theme but that intro is just on a different level.
MHWorld/Iceborne's most beautiful theme for its most beautiful monster.
It was a pain to beat but thanks to a HH and another dual blades we did it but the true mvp was the S&S player who had ALL THE HEALS he kept me and the team alive 24/7 only had like one faint I don’t remember who that was but thank you and may all of you have good hunting
Edit: iceproof mantle and full ice resistance turned the almost one shot attacks to something survivable don’t forget to pack the right mantles friends and also if you don’t like statues full resistor may help just a suggestion but you all have your strategies and I’m not gonna stop you we all have our preference of hunting and that’s ok
Capcom pls, now that Tempered and Arch Tempered maybe will not return to the series…. Give us a Velkhana second phase with this theme song
The true ending to Iceborne
Чёрт, я не помню этой темы в самой игре. Но это однозначно одна из лучших.
I'd like to thank the team of randos who helped me through this hunt and were probably the reason why I beat this hunt on my first try while running -9 ice res

That intro tho
Man this picture looks *cool*
If velkhana join MH rise sunbreak i would say bring it ! Send them new one !
Sunbreak: velkhana has joined the roster
It's time to end it all, by putting the ice in Iceborne
I can safely say that 1:01 destroys me emotionally every time
A B S O L U T E Z E R O
*Hunter shoots giant overhead crystal above AT Velkhana*.
AT Velkhana: *Barely flinches when the crystal drops on top of her* Was that your best shot? Allow me to show you mine!...
Spicy music 👏
yo now you can get new screenshots for chameleos for you channel banner
Intro is like the main theme of the game
Nah he’ll be fine I’m sure
The place where winter sleeps BITCHES
An absolute nightmare of a hunt for me I found fatalis way easier or maybe it’s cos I’ve done fatalis a hundred more times and already downloaded his move set
Bro come back
So..much...ice spam. Remember hunters, if you see her running away from you chase her down!
Or die to the ice beam your choice 🥰
Oh god the legianna lance he’s done for
Do you have the anniversary version of this?
Nope. Sorry.
?????
When did you heard anniversary version first time? Which event? I need source. I never heard of it btw.
Hey you are you going to do the monster hunter rise sound track? Or are you just going to skip thhis game?
Rise OST when?
