- This may come out as slightly petty to anyone who's already familiar with the latter 2 flightless wyverns, but have I been the only person who didn't really find Akantor nor Ukanlos all that memorable? Considering the following subjective statements I have for them somewhat equally to an extent, their folklore classification depicted as "gods" from messengers of woe and chaos across the world is hardly at all descriptive that doesn't even do much benefit to best suit their image.
The volcanic eruption behemoth sent from Hell by the name of Akantor, and the bitter cold colossal titan blizzard Ukanlos, while ferocious and menacing, are incredibly bare bones in terms of the standard facets of power. The pinning move and defense reduction capabilities is great enough as is and doesn't need that much further explanation to make Akantor recognizable. Same thing goes for it's gigantic near insta kill wind tunnel blast along with Ukanlos' dangerously hazardous breath attack that causes avalanches; in addition to it's (bullshit) autotargeting bulldoze approach tactic that makes both monsters infamous.
But the problem I have for Akantor and Ukanlos respectively is their sheer lack of qualifying them as so called "gods." Akantor is known as the "Black God," while Ukanlos is the "White God."
...For what exactly? Control of elements? Manipulation? Complete dominion over the environment? I don't see them doing that at all aside from shifting the ground frequently and causing distortions around the area that's got nothing to do with being in ultimate control. Especially if elements are brought into the discussion tables. Take Akantor for example. In mainline, the "Black" part is literally found NOWHERE on it's design at all. In Frontier however when hardcore is toggled on in G Rank, Akantor becomes HEAVILY emphasized and more descriptive to it's title thanks to the wind tunnel attacks transforming into black tornadoes surrounding the air. Not to mention, it actually HAS control over the environment for once. Just like a true god should
But then there's Odibatorasu. The Sand God. ....Kind of obscure for a title since it breaks the whole color side of things, but setting that aside, THIS. IS. EXCELLENT.
Unlike it's brethren, this crimson red titanic MACHINE tortoise creature, (Yet ANOTHER genius concept by the developers) emerges out of the dunes to perform EVERYTHING of what it can do with the sand element.
Absorbing large lethal quantities of sand to be launched out from it's back like a CANNON
Summoning an array of sand projectiles from the ground that flies in completely random directions
Creating waves of sand to push you back
Sand pillars to ensnare you
Gigantic sweeping sand beams
Causing earthquakes (He refused to cooperate A LOT at the end)
And sandstorms to hinder your vision
When it comes to holding complete dominion over the desert, Odibatorasu is fucking outstanding with the untold amount of atmosphere it provides. That alone makes the scene feel ten times more extravagant because of how authentic the monster really is in concept. And the music is DEFINITELY a major grand contributor to it's entire design. I've already said it before back in my remade favorite MH soundtrack list from last year, but I still stand by the desert being my favorite element in video games. And this music just defines virtually every single waking aspect of it by redefining the core essence of what makes the desert so ancient and atmospheric as a whole given factor. Not to mention the ABSURD level of depth it owns to perfectly represent an all powerful being of the earth controlling the environment and creating such an exquisitely gorgeous aura in pure ethereal luxury that NEVER GETS OLD. I still have absolutely no idea what that horn like instrument is called and I've been dying to find out since I first listened to this unbelievably beautiful and catchy melody. If anyone knows what it is, please tell me
Consider this last portion of the description a thank you letter to Odibatorasu because I am GRATEFUL beyond words that this monster has encouraged me to expand my horizons further within Frontier ever since the day I discovered it's existence. Dhisufiroa did no justice. Just leave it all up to Odibatorasu's obscene abundance of glorious variety causing my curiosity to multiply rapidly just so that I could examine more of Frontier's monsters. So, sincerely, thank you once again Odibatorasu for inspiring me to play Frontier and to experience the rest of your kind. You may have been relatively easy to bring down since you tend to suffer from "safe while underneath" syndrome, but I still enjoyed everything else within your most greatest abilities much more than your relatives couldn't quite reach altogether. (A Hardcore Ukanlos would've definitely fixed that) Also your revving car engine roar is just.... great, lol

Honestly people don’t respect the detail they put into most of the monsters. People say that they are biologically impossible but I say there are a lot of monsters who seem fantastical but have some realism that merges very well with that fantastic idea. Our red Wyvern buddy here is a great example. He looks like a creature adapted to the desert even if people disagree I can show of some vibrant desert animals or creatures in real life that swim in the sand and shoot it as a weapon! MH is among my favorite series.
I'm personally not one to grasp the controversial luxury of giving my two cents conversing the myriad and over exaggerated statements about realism/fantasy in a monster's design or even making a flawed comparison to those in mainline games, but the whole Monster Hunter franchise is and always will be among one of my favorite video game series because I adore both aspects equally. Along with how awe inspiringly beautiful everything is in design. And I mean _everything._ Plus the communities are the best I've ever experienced in my life. Especially Frontier's. It doesn't always have to be about the monsters y'know?
Honestly that's something people tend to forget about most often.
Damn can we talk about that entrance? That was SICK!
Odibatorasu definitely deserves to come to the main series. I still don't know why he isn't
Because Frontier is MH's autistic little cousin , where meaningful design choices and Fantasy-realism go down the drain in order to make everything colourful , "fast"-paces , low-iq gameplay to appease to weeb trash with sparkly lights and adding spikes to everything.
@Mylez z If you want to have shitty monsters with barely any thought put into it , you can just go and play God Eater .
With so many games with increasingly stupid enemies/decreasingly meaningful design , it is nice that even the MhWorld/MH Gen can see what makes MH better than the rest and stick by it .
If everything in Monster Hunter was "special" then nothing would be.
@Mylez z I know because back in the day i had to follow a fuckton of tutorials just to play it and in the end it wasn't worth it , it was barely a Monster hunter , had more in common with God eater in a lot of things , the only thing i liked were the "boss rush" quests , whichare barely different from multiple monster hunts in World or Gen .
A faster Paced MH wouldn't have hurt , but old-styled monsters still had weird hitboxes , some animation were unclear and weird , the "freeze" when you hit monsters was annoying as shit andafter a while the only thing that scaled up the "difficulty" were high damage and those weird combo attacks that 1shot you , all balanced by the fact that skills in that game were basically the ones in the Mh main series but boosted to the stars .
@Mylez z Early game it is basically just a normal 3Rd gen MH game , later just becomes pointless with useless visual flair and totally opposite what the core design of MH has always been : If you can see a monster part that has appendixes , probably it can use it to attack .
@Mylez z It is not my personal taste .
It is the developer's taste , as they already many times have stated , it is the community taste , as the numbers have shown , and it is common sense , as seeing how if Monster Hunter goes full fantasy nothing remains to separate it from Dragon's Dogma or any other fantasy game ever .
Probably one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in any game. Kinda wished is fight was a bit less...boring? Always felt like I was just wailing on him without any retaliation from his side, he's a bit sluggish and when you figure out his gimmicks he becomes quite the easy fight. Still a very cool monster and would complete the Akantor, Ukanlos and Odi trio, if he ever comes to mainline.
100% agree. His attacks don't really do all that much to pose a threat to you unfortunately, but at least they're extremely fun to watch. And the huge amount of atmosphere really makes up for it
Great video.
I just wish people didn't decide to be toxic as all hell in the comments of these vids.
Jesus Christ this comment section is fucked.
Tell me about it...
@@GBA-049 best of luck my man, keep up the good content
Frontier Forward started with a BANGER monster and ended with another BANGER monster, very high standards even for a Monster Hunter game
the lost brothers of akantor and ukanlos
Fun trivia, Akantor actually has its own Frontier-fied version. Called as Hard Core Akantor. I say Frontier devs did a good job to porytray Akantor as the Black God wyvern.
why people are talking about toxic comments but I don't see any of these comments? They are all disappeared?
Typical hateful MHF critic with a blunt edge realism/fantasy argument as well as comparing the monsters to God Eater as if it was an issue; and left by saying "I'm glad that the main series still has standards" or something like that.
Don't worry about it.

Just a better Akantor or Ukanlos. I want it in the mainline games.

It is an old clip, right?
I've heard that they cancelled mhfz..
Yeah, this was recorded before the shutdown, there is private server stuff in the works, but it's not really close to being out to the public
@@staviersss8039 Maybe one day, maybe.
