@@vitriolicAmaranth Yeah, I know. It’d be neat if afflicted weapons were like subspecies/deviant weapons, which were still robbed from us by not making apex weapons based on them.

@@personguy2262 Well the "hard" part of subspecies is animating alternate movesets and balancing the game around them (a lot of players don't even realise it, but the order of monsters you get to fight, their weapons, their armour and their weaknesses, are designed to aid the player provided they're willing to farm out new weapons at each rank, which is why for example Lunagaron weapons are really good, really cheap ice weapons that you get right before the rank where you fight most of the tougher ice-weak monsters in the game; They've done this since literally MH1 and it's the one thing they almost never mess up, though IG selection in 4U was pretty piss-poor until endgame, GLs often have to grind more than other weapon types (you know, to compensate for how the weapon is soooooo strong...), guns are designed as if for a completely different game and sometimes there are other little quirks for a particular weapon type in a particular game). Just recolouring it is something that takes an experienced videogame artist maybe 5 minutes, since they use the same texture with some values adjusted most of the time (speaking as someone who has modded a lot of games and done similar stuff). To the first paragraph, more weapon variety is ALWAYS appreciated. I didn't really care for deviant weapons unless I liked them on their own merits because I didn't care for HAs, though, and the same would be true if they added special weapons that sped up wirebug recovery in Rise.
It's really unfortunate that the Bazelgeuse horn doesn't play the iconic opening scare chords of Bazel's theme. The value of that for jumpscares alone would be amazing.
Actually, I think it might be. I'm no music expert, but perhaps it's the fact that the Hunting Horn is a drum that makes it so hard to discern since Bazel uses Trumpets. The beats at the end in particular sound like the rising trumpet blares that play.
All this did was make me sad that Anja's horn _doesn't_ play the Ancient Forest theme from World. That theme is basically synonymous with him, hell, it's even _named_ after him for God's sake
@@BakeNation_MH I can’t think of one for Pukei right now unfortunately, but for Anjanath’s: Best way I can imagine it is similar to Deviljho’s HH, with the horn being Anja’s mouth (maybe showing a bit of it’s jawbone around the chin and up to where his mouth would be) and the music would come from it’s nosebone that expands out when playing (the inside of the mouth could open when playing to show Anja’s flame sac being repurposed as a fleshy bagpipe to play the music through the nosebone) The handle can be made of skin and fur like it already is, but replace the metal with bone.
@@superjoe1015 I’m shocked that they didn’t go with an accordion horn for pukei from the start in world since it’s been stated that one of his design inspirations was an accordion
another thing monster hunter does really really well, if a monster has a theme the monsters roar will harmonize with the theme so you can always hear it
The Vicello Unu (white) that couldn’t fill in some parts should have other hunting horns that play parts that the vicello unu white can’t play in Where Wyverns go to Die. Example is like somnacanth’s Horn.
This looked like it took forever, especially when the "background actors" wouldn't cooperate!!!! I know nothing about the hunting horn, but still found this fascinating! I'm a sucker for memorable leitmotifs....
I love how the Bone tree is a Didgeridoo! I think those unknown ones are intentionally just tunes made to sound like certain cultural instruments from around the world which is utterly cool
ayo can we appreciate this dude for a second? went back to all the gens to capture every original soundtrack plus he always if possible had the matching horn and outfit. even gen 1 are you serious? and then he even crafted every single horn there is. don't even wanna know how much time went into that. respect
So happy to finally see this project realized. The video turned out great! As a guy who is way too obsessed with the hunting horn, I'd like to thank you for your hard work and effort! Keep the good stuff coming! You deserve way more subs and I'm sure you will get them soon :D
I honestly still can't believe you messaged me. I had repeatedly watched your Rise Hunting Horn video for over 2 months when I started this, so when I got a message from the person who created all those incredible hunting horn videos, I was in shock! When you told me that you wanted to make this video yourself but were struggling with it as much as I was, I knew I couldn't give up on it! I know I've already thanked you several times before, but sincerely, thank you for everything in helping me make this. I'm glad I got to meet and work with you through making this!
What are your thoughts? Did I get these right or did you find an even better match for some of the horns? And is there anybody that can figure out what that blasted Bazel horn matches up with?! (edit) to anyone wondering about my layered set (which are all the high rank versions): Head: Mizutsune Chest: Edel Arms: Mizutsune Waist: Melahoa Legs: Edel
My favorite part of Rise' Hunting Horn Which makes me feel sad as a Switch Axe user considering that every single Axe originally had a unique Sound effect for every Time you swing the Axe, the Best examples are Barioth and Namielle Axes and their anchor / metallic chain swinging Sound after every hit, in Rise are... Almost inexistent
I haven’t used Swaxe too much in Rise, so so haven’t noticed the sounds missing. Even though it may only be there for audible flair, it does make a big difference
I havent checked switch axe sounds but at least in chargeblade with most notably valstrax's still have such sound effect which for this case its a jet engine sort of sound. I would imagine they either not put it on all weapons or they made some sounds smaller?
@@Cynvicta probably smaller, but the only Weapon which i can notice It Is Ibushi Weapons in general and the wind Sound effects This and the joke weapons lacking their Special sounds (I'M LOOKING AT YOU PLUSHIE HAMMER.) Makes me feel sad.
I really love how the hunting horns have these melodies associated with them. It makes them feel more special as compared to just being random sounds. Great job with the video, I loved it!
I feel like the Magia Charmbell is just referencing the inevitable sparkly twinkly sound effects you get during transformation sequences in most magical girl anime. After all, the horn itself (alongside the matching insect glaive) also references that genre. Also the khezu horn just dumping out the monster's own roars is hilarious. Especially with how it doesn't have a theme of its own.
Pretty sure the 3 "scottish" horns (Iron, Pukei and Anja) come from the Moga Village theme when the argosy is in port in MH3. It’s the same type of sounds and the melody seems to match.
What I think would've been a great idea is if the hunting horns all played the song that's currently playing in the game but each with a different instrument voicing. This could be achieved by having the battle theme and the hunting horn version synchronised, with the hunting horn version muted until a song is played. But it would also be pretty resource intensive to have so many versions of each battle song Doesn't matter if they compress the sound a little though. Unless... They did it via a single shared midi track, with just each instrument toggled on or off depending on which you use.
Those mystery horns with the pukie Pukie and Anjanath we're repurposed sounds from other metal hunting horn tree upgrades. While the other ones from the upgraded bone trees
The effort you made with matching armor and weapons with the monster you're fighting all across the different games was a really great touch ! Great video !
This is a lovely video for Hunting Horn mains out there. Thank you for the effort! Most of the Horn themes are based on the monster's original theme. Bazel's horn is probably also based off the beats of Bazel's theme just sped up.
Amazing video! It's not just a quick showcase of each horn and where it comes from, that'd be boring. You bothered to wear matching armor sets, near the monsters, locales, and even funny edits. It truly shows your love and dedication to the weapon. You don't talk unless required, which further drives the point that this is a listening 1st, voiced 2nd type of video, truly understanding what the viewer is here for. The little edits and funny transitions on some parts of the video further make it a pleasure to watch. This 17 min video felt like 5!
This is the nicest comment I've ever gotten! I'm very glad that people actually notice all those little details sprinkled in. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
it's clear how much effort was put into this video, fantastic job and really interesting, I might just have to pick up hunting horn again! Here's hoping for some more great horn themes in sunbreak :D
The Pukei, Anjanath, and Kulu horns are just a stand-in for World’s secondary HH melodies on Iron Bagpipes and Bone Horns. As for a base melody…yeah I got jack. For Bazel too. WAIT It might be his mount theme. Bazel’s mount theme has hella bongoes.
And this is why I don't agree with people when they complain about the horns sounds, only thing I wish for was that the music they play was a little louder, Just a little.
I thought the same. I hate self promotion but I guess it is appropriate here. I actually released a mod package that raises the volume of all hhs a bit :D
I hadn't realized how close those melodies were to some ingame music, thanks for the vid! For my defense i only recall playing khezu's, nargacuga's and zinogre's Horns in mhrise ^^'
I don't use this weapon much myself, but I always found criminally underrated how close to nobody ever gives credit to the huge work behind the sound effects for each of these "horn" types
11:47 I feel like this one is just supposed to reference Magical Girl anime. I assume that's why the sound has never changed, it just became a reference to itself.
i Noticed this as soon as i played the Horn this changed was also in World but they went all out in Rise its why i have grown from a HH main to an addict. its the best feeling ever when you get the timing of the song right
This video looks like so much work, massive props to you for making such a well edited video about hunting horns! I got super distracted from work by watching this lmao
In world Iceborne, horns with base metal and bone parts that could swap also change how the notes sounded I think its cool they gave more horns matching tunes to ingame music, its one of my favorite things of HH, one that I always remember is the Zamtrios HH that plays the frozen seaway theme
I'm glad that they used the Rise version of Khezu's theme because out of all the themes it's had, the version in Rise is far and away the absolute best +1 sub not just because of the time and effort put into obtaining all of those horns but also the amount of work it must've taken to narrow down the exact snippet of each theme, especially the older ones. Hell I've played Monster Hunter since the PSP era and I didn't recognise the exact part of the Jungle theme despite it being one of my favourite maps.
Definitely one of my favorite parts about the horns is that even if a theme is repeated, the music is often different because of the weapon being based on a different instrument IE: tetra horn having drums despite it being just the frost island theme
The Great bagpipe, Datura Lurr, Forte Flammenkornett, are all the Iron Bagpipes melodies from MHW's version of the great bagpipe. No reference, they are unique melodies created for the base bone and Iron weapons in World. Since World had 3 melodies per hunting horn, they chopped some of the melodies and gave them to others to cut down on resources. Potentially this is due to MHW's handling on the bits on sticks weapons it gets a bit messy. There are the base's and the parts. Each base HH type gives off a different melody except Kulve with Kjarr, and Kulve+ with Kjarr+. Those melodies play regardless of which parts are on the weapon. HOWEVER, each part adds its own little bit to all three melodies a HH can produce. My personal favourite is Coral Pukei Pukei parts since its from "I want to dance because I'm a hunter." This makes the number of combos very high for the HH. It can also be proven, combine a base Lunastra HH with Coral Pukei's parts and you get a melody that doesn't exist in the game's natural progression. Since MHR was designed for the switch, It'd make sense to cut down the size of sound files for the HH because of the bits on sticks weapon system from MHW. It all ties in to how the bits on sticks weapons were meant to be more fleshed out. As you'd upgrade the weapon it'd change colour corresponding to its elemental path. Its why some bits on sticks base's look tinted yellow for thunder, blue for water, light blue for ice, black for dragon and red for fire (although red was re-used for defender weapons due to time constraints). You can use the bits on sticks system to make weapons of different combos since the tint is applied to the weapon and not accessible through the bits on sticks system. Take a dragonsteel/dragonbone weapon, then make it into a kjarr base, then compare with an actual kjarr weapon. The dragonbone/dragonsteel weapon is darker as a mesh has been applied to that weapon. Some weapons lose it though their upgrade tree's or are relocated. For example, the "thunder" tint mesh for the greatsword is on the thunder tree, which turns into Zinogre's GS. But since Zinogre's GS isn't in world (rip) the thunder mesh is still on the weapon. Remove the base and you get a yellowy GS. This doesn't apply to unique weapons. Take the yellow tinted GS and make its base Lunastra’s and it turns green (blue+yellow). All Ice mesh's are not accessible due to Barioth existing and eliminating any maxed out ice tinted bits on sticks weapons. However you can see the ice mesh as it upgrades in it’s tree. The water mesh for the GS is on the water path, but once in MR it loses it in coral pukei’s tree. This is because it moved to beotodu’s placement which continues to hold the mesh and was moved due to an Ice creature being the end of a water tree making little consistency. Hence why beotodyus has the water mesh. Each tint's mesh also applies a visual effect aside from colour. Dragon looks damaged, thunder looks scratched, ice looks frosted over with a little bit of a reflective property, water looks... wet, reflective and slightly transparent. The only one I'm not 100% on is the fire tint mesh. This is because its on the defender weapons which can't be customised. But considering the lack of status mesh's and the cut content surrounding the bits on sticks weapons, it's plausible that the defender weapons contain the fire mesh.
Oh I figured out the Fungasax connection, you are 100% right that's the Moga village theme, the reason for that is that when the Fungasax was introduced in Generations (or X if you prefer) a part needed to make it was Yukumo wood, only available on Misty Peaks map. This map was first introduced in MH Tri, and Moga was the main village for that game. Kinda like Bherna village and the wind horn!
I love that the hunting horn songs are based on monster themes this time. Makes me want to collect them all lol. Fave rn is Espinas, lunagaron and vicello white. Espinas in particular goes HARD lmao
Rathian's horn, if I'm not suffering from a mendella effect and remember correctly, has actually appeared and is a reference to an old sound that played in either gen 1 or 2, probably both. It's from the old forest and hills zone and if I remember it plays either when you first discover that "secret" zone on the top left of the map where the veggie elder hangs out at, or ramdomly when you run in there. It's hard to say where it's 100% from because it's been so long now that I've played a gen 2 game but I'm sure it's the theme that plays for whatever Monster Hunter qualifies as you discovering a secret.
Hmm, I never even knew about this sound. Thanks for pointing this out, I haven't played a Gen 1/2 game myself since I started with Gen 3. It's time to start searching around!
ooh, I didn't know about that, I need to see for myself. That would make a lot of sense if that was the case, since it would be a great reference to Rathian's origins. Thanks for pointing this out
I think it'd be really interesting to see all of the songs of rise, but whenever a part of the song the hunting horn plays comes up, that hunting horn's melody is played alongside it. No doubt a massive undertaking, but for themes with multiple horns which play different parts it could really put into perspective what parts the devs saw as important to each theme who knows, maybe somebody has already done it and I just don't know
Why is everyone hating on my boi Khezu and his screeching Hunting Horn? I mean look at it from the perspective of all other monsters: a small noodley ape-like "thing" wielding a contorted and misshapen version of another creature as a beating stick... and the creature is screaming while you get your skull bashed in by said noodle ape, oh who also happens to be wearing parts of other creatures on him (we call it armor). That is the scariest sh!t any monster will see that day.
Awesome work, makes me want to grab HH! I remember Red Khezu horn suddenly becomes a soothing flute once you upgrade it, perhaps we can get something like that in Sunbreak
Yess omg thank you so much for making this video! I've also noticed some of these!! For the bullfango horn, I've always thought it sounded like the Arctic Ridge theme?
Truly impeccable that khezu’s horn plays the entirety of the monster’s theme.
Shame Red Khezu isn't in so we don't get the version that actually eerily sings but with weird guttural undertones.
@@vitriolicAmaranth at least we have Afflicted Khezu who actively looks red
@@personguy2262 Not the point at all
@@vitriolicAmaranth Yeah, I know. It’d be neat if afflicted weapons were like subspecies/deviant weapons, which were still robbed from us by not making apex weapons based on them. At least the mat trading system of 4 would be nice for different weapons

@@personguy2262 Well the "hard" part of subspecies is animating alternate movesets and balancing the game around them (a lot of players don't even realise it, but the order of monsters you get to fight, their weapons, their armour and their weaknesses, are designed to aid the player provided they're willing to farm out new weapons at each rank, which is why for example Lunagaron weapons are really good, really cheap ice weapons that you get right before the rank where you fight most of the tougher ice-weak monsters in the game; They've done this since literally MH1 and it's the one thing they almost never mess up, though IG selection in 4U was pretty piss-poor until endgame, GLs often have to grind more than other weapon types (you know, to compensate for how the weapon is soooooo strong...), guns are designed as if for a completely different game and sometimes there are other little quirks for a particular weapon type in a particular game). Just recolouring it is something that takes an experienced videogame artist maybe 5 minutes, since they use the same texture with some values adjusted most of the time (speaking as someone who has modded a lot of games and done similar stuff).
To the first paragraph, more weapon variety is ALWAYS appreciated. I didn't really care for deviant weapons unless I liked them on their own merits because I didn't care for HAs, though, and the same would be true if they added special weapons that sped up wirebug recovery in Rise.
It's really unfortunate that the Bazelgeuse horn doesn't play the iconic opening scare chords of Bazel's theme. The value of that for jumpscares alone would be amazing.
That would have been so perfect!
So close to perfection, yet so far
When will someone make a mod for this :")
That's what I came to find out
Actually, I think it might be. I'm no music expert, but perhaps it's the fact that the Hunting Horn is a drum that makes it so hard to discern since Bazel uses Trumpets. The beats at the end in particular sound like the rising trumpet blares that play.
All this did was make me sad that Anja's horn _doesn't_ play the Ancient Forest theme from World. That theme is basically synonymous with him, hell, it's even _named_ after him for God's sake

I’m shocked that they didn’t go with an accordion horn for pukei from the start in world since it’s been stated that one of his design inspirations was an accordion
Ok, but, _SCOTLAND FOREVER_
Pretty sure the Magia Charmbell is supposed to look kinda like the Sailor Moon transformation wand. So it plays magical girl noises.
Yea and it's probably one of the most well liked HHs in design and sound, preserving it's original sound makes sense.
I thought he was joking
another thing monster hunter does really really well, if a monster has a theme the monsters roar will harmonize with the theme so you can always hear it
Honestly now I want a full Frost Islands cover with the Vicello Unu (white), it sounds so badass.
I would love to hear something like that as well! The vicellos all have such awesome melodies
The Vicello Unu (white) that couldn’t fill in some parts should have other hunting horns that play parts that the vicello unu white can’t play in Where Wyverns go to Die. Example is like somnacanth’s Horn.
Imagine if we get some event horns for crossovers and they play music from other games. Like a Legend Of Zelda horn that plays the main theme.
I think there was a hunting horn that somewhat reminded me of a Legend of Zelda theme, so I would love to have an HH like that!
imagine an oversized ocarina
undertale crossover with a hh that plays the first four notes of megalovania
Give us a Harmoknight Hunting Horn that plays some Game Freak music
@@BakeNation_MH oversized ocarina with a stick and we are sold
Khezu's Theme has always been his scream confirmed.
Clearly the best melody there has ever been
Khezu has a theme?
This looked like it took forever, especially when the "background actors" wouldn't cooperate!!!!
I know nothing about the hunting horn, but still found this fascinating! I'm a sucker for memorable leitmotifs....
Same here, that's exactly why I wanted to make this video!
As a hunting horn main, I noticed this immediately and made it my personal goal to make every single horn to listen to their themes
Great minds think alike!
I love how the Bone tree is a Didgeridoo! I think those unknown ones are intentionally just tunes made to sound like certain cultural instruments from around the world which is utterly cool
Rise what made me actually wanna use Hunting Horn because the sound design is probably my favorite and how HH now got flashy attacks
I think Rise hunting horn is really fun, and I love how they made the Melodies off of themes in MH!
if rise made you do it, go play mh4u with hh
ayo can we appreciate this dude for a second? went back to all the gens to capture every original soundtrack plus he always if possible had the matching horn and outfit. even gen 1 are you serious? and then he even crafted every single horn there is. don't even wanna know how much time went into that. respect
This is really cool but i will forever have a special love for the quropeco horn's oddly loud and extremely obnoxious bagpipe/kazoo melody
I wish we could have Qurupeco return, he was one of my favorite monsters from Gen 3
Annoying random hunters with the qurupeco honker always leads to funny reactions. qurupeco, come back soon pls. I miss you.

The Rathian one might come from the main theme of 3/3U, "To One With Life". As for the Bone and Iron being unidentifiable, they're just the old sound
Hmm, I am gonna have to look into the Rathian horn

The Nargacuga one is mismatched. On Nargacuga's theme this exact sound plays in some parts of the song.
@@thearmoredreaper6430 oh yeah, I forgot about mounting themes in World! I'll definitely have to give it a listen

That’s what I kind of assumed because they sounded pretty much the same
i shouldn't be surprised that the Valstrax horn plays his theme, but BOY am i happy it does
Same here, I am glad they chose that specific part of the theme too
Holy shit. What an amazing video. I hope the devs see it, and know we appreciate the care they put in. I love Rise.
To every single HH main out there. You're amazing and appreciated. I'd choose you as a partner over any other weapon. 🙏🏻💪🏻
Very impressive. MH's community is truly something else!
Thanks a lot.
The effort you made with matching armor and weapons with the monster you're fighting all across the different games was a really great touch ! Great video !

I thought the same. I hate self promotion but I guess it is appropriate here. I actually released a mod package that raises the volume of all hhs a bit :D
Oooh, I'll have to take a look!
Khezu's horn fits its theme really well
Some of these had me stumped, thank you so much
This was a perfect video
Liked n subbed
I would believe it, it was mentally exhausting trying to figure some of these out! And thank you, we appreciate the support!
I hadn't realized how close those melodies were to some ingame music, thanks for the vid!
For my defense i only recall playing khezu's, nargacuga's and zinogre's Horns in mhrise ^^'
Well then I am glad I was able to make you aware of this! 😁
As a small rcreator myself i really can appriciate HARD work of small channels. gj mate
thank you! :)
Very cool and well done video.
Great video! I love the editing and the shots you chose for the intros of each horns. My favorite is the Somnacanth one, the song just sounds so cool.
Somnacanths HH does sound REALLY nice
I don't use this weapon much myself, but I always found criminally underrated how close to nobody ever gives credit to the huge work behind the sound effects for each of these "horn" types
Man this just reminds me of how great and fun almost all themes in Rise are!
The themes of Rise are phenomenal, there are very few that I dislike
11:47 I feel like this one is just supposed to reference Magical Girl anime. I assume that's why the sound has never changed, it just became a reference to itself.
i Noticed this as soon as i played the Horn this changed was also in World but they went all out in Rise its why i have grown from a HH main to an addict.
its the best feeling ever when you get the timing of the song right
Hell yeah, I've been havung trouble what layered horm I want on my rampage horns so this vid is gonna be helpful as hell!
Wonderful job on identifying all these themes!
The design choice they made with the khezu flute was perfect
Pretty sure pre GU a full upgrade khezu flute would roar for notes but have an angelic like choir when you performed. I loved it.
Can't imagine how long this must have taken to put together. Thanks so much!
Thank you! It certainly took some time, but it was satisfying putting it all together.
This is some dedication here, I love it !
This video looks like so much work, massive props to you for making such a well edited video about hunting horns! I got super distracted from work by watching this lmao
I appreciate the compliments! It took me around 3 and a half months to make this from start to finish
In world Iceborne, horns with base metal and bone parts that could swap also change how the notes sounded
I think its cool they gave more horns matching tunes to ingame music, its one of my favorite things of HH, one that I always remember is the Zamtrios HH that plays the frozen seaway theme
I didn't know about the Zamtrios HH playing the Frozen Seaway theme, neat
This is why I convert to HH main since World. Really interesting weapon
As well as the complete overhaul to their playstyle, they almost feel like an entirely new weapon in Rise
I'm glad that they used the Rise version of Khezu's theme because out of all the themes it's had, the version in Rise is far and away the absolute best
+1 sub not just because of the time and effort put into obtaining all of those horns but also the amount of work it must've taken to narrow down the exact snippet of each theme, especially the older ones. Hell I've played Monster Hunter since the PSP era and I didn't recognise the exact part of the Jungle theme despite it being one of my favourite maps.
Props, nice find on these music. My ears are really bad distinguishing whatever so I find this impressive
Definitely one of my favorite parts about the horns is that even if a theme is repeated, the music is often different because of the weapon being based on a different instrument IE: tetra horn having drums despite it being just the frost island theme
The love the sound of the Bone Horn because I also play a bit of didgeridoo myself
That's pretty cool! I was wondering what instrument the Bone Horn was based off of
Thank you for giving glorious Khezu's horn the revulsion it deserves.
The Great bagpipe, Datura Lurr, Forte Flammenkornett, are all the Iron Bagpipes melodies from MHW's version of the great bagpipe. No reference, they are unique melodies created for the base bone and Iron weapons in World.
Since World had 3 melodies per hunting horn, they chopped some of the melodies and gave them to others to cut down on resources. Potentially this is due to MHW's handling on the bits on sticks weapons it gets a bit messy. There are the base's and the parts. Each base HH type gives off a different melody except Kulve with Kjarr, and Kulve+ with Kjarr+. Those melodies play regardless of which parts are on the weapon. HOWEVER, each part adds its own little bit to all three melodies a HH can produce. My personal favourite is Coral Pukei Pukei parts since its from "I want to dance because I'm a hunter." This makes the number of combos very high for the HH. It can also be proven, combine a base Lunastra HH with Coral Pukei's parts and you get a melody that doesn't exist in the game's natural progression. Since MHR was designed for the switch, It'd make sense to cut down the size of sound files for the HH because of the bits on sticks weapon system from MHW.
It all ties in to how the bits on sticks weapons were meant to be more fleshed out. As you'd upgrade the weapon it'd change colour corresponding to its elemental path. Its why some bits on sticks base's look tinted yellow for thunder, blue for water, light blue for ice, black for dragon and red for fire (although red was re-used for defender weapons due to time constraints). You can use the bits on sticks system to make weapons of different combos since the tint is applied to the weapon and not accessible through the bits on sticks system. Take a dragonsteel/dragonbone weapon, then make it into a kjarr base, then compare with an actual kjarr weapon. The dragonbone/dragonsteel weapon is darker as a mesh has been applied to that weapon.
Some weapons lose it though their upgrade tree's or are relocated. For example, the "thunder" tint mesh for the greatsword is on the thunder tree, which turns into Zinogre's GS. But since Zinogre's GS isn't in world (rip) the thunder mesh is still on the weapon. Remove the base and you get a yellowy GS. This doesn't apply to unique weapons. Take the yellow tinted GS and make its base Lunastra’s and it turns green (blue+yellow). All Ice mesh's are not accessible due to Barioth existing and eliminating any maxed out ice tinted bits on sticks weapons. However you can see the ice mesh as it upgrades in it’s tree. The water mesh for the GS is on the water path, but once in MR it loses it in coral pukei’s tree. This is because it moved to beotodu’s placement which continues to hold the mesh and was moved due to an Ice creature being the end of a water tree making little consistency. Hence why beotodyus has the water mesh.
Each tint's mesh also applies a visual effect aside from colour. Dragon looks damaged, thunder looks scratched, ice looks frosted over with a little bit of a reflective property, water looks... wet, reflective and slightly transparent. The only one I'm not 100% on is the fire tint mesh. This is because its on the defender weapons which can't be customised. But considering the lack of status mesh's and the cut content surrounding the bits on sticks weapons, it's plausible that the defender weapons contain the fire mesh.
Guess I didn't realize how in-depth the sounds these HH's made were, thanks for explaining all of this!
Oh I figured out the Fungasax connection, you are 100% right that's the Moga village theme, the reason for that is that when the Fungasax was introduced in Generations (or X if you prefer) a part needed to make it was Yukumo wood, only available on Misty Peaks map. This map was first introduced in MH Tri, and Moga was the main village for that game. Kinda like Bherna village and the wind horn!
Wow. That would have never crossed my mind, but that's a brilliant observation!
great bagpipe sounds like the horn that plays when you start a quest in the old games
This is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Thank you! I’m glad you like it
This is the detail we wanted to know about, thanks for the complication. Also those pose shots are primo.
Imagine taking the base area themes and adding the Hunting Horn melodies to the corresponding segments.
Amazing job man!! love all the poses with beautiful background!!
Monster Hunter has always valued its music... this is a great addition to it...
Really cool, thanks for putting in the time!
i do want to clarify that silver-winged scarlet star is also not a new theme in rise, as valstrax was originally in mhgu
I love that the hunting horn songs are based on monster themes this time. Makes me want to collect them all lol. Fave rn is Espinas, lunagaron and vicello white. Espinas in particular goes HARD lmao
Excellent video, clearly tons of work put in to the research, and the clips even matching
they truly gave the HH the love it deserved ♥
Rathian's horn, if I'm not suffering from a mendella effect and remember correctly, has actually appeared and is a reference to an old sound that played in either gen 1 or 2, probably both. It's from the old forest and hills zone and if I remember it plays either when you first discover that "secret" zone on the top left of the map where the veggie elder hangs out at, or ramdomly when you run in there. It's hard to say where it's 100% from because it's been so long now that I've played a gen 2 game but I'm sure it's the theme that plays for whatever Monster Hunter qualifies as you discovering a secret.
Hmm, I never even knew about this sound. Thanks for pointing this out, I haven't played a Gen 1/2 game myself since I started with Gen 3. It's time to start searching around!
ooh, I didn't know about that, I need to see for myself. That would make a lot of sense if that was the case, since it would be a great reference to Rathian's origins. Thanks for pointing this out
Very good video and straight to the point
Underrated channel with a great potential, time to spread awareness!
This is amazing! I also like the added weapon poses and the gestures. More HH coming when Sunbreak hits
You certainly know I am making another video just like this for Sunbreak!
Wow what a crazy and detailed video. Nice work
Thankies!
Amazing watch, thanks for making this video.
This was really well put, amazing job :)
I think it'd be really interesting to see all of the songs of rise, but whenever a part of the song the hunting horn plays comes up, that hunting horn's melody is played alongside it. No doubt a massive undertaking, but for themes with multiple horns which play different parts it could really put into perspective what parts the devs saw as important to each theme
who knows, maybe somebody has already done it and I just don't know
You blew this out of the park.
I want full versions of all of them so bad now
I feel the exact same way!
I have nothing but love for hunting horns
Why is everyone hating on my boi Khezu and his screeching Hunting Horn?
I mean look at it from the perspective of all other monsters: a small noodley ape-like "thing" wielding a contorted and misshapen version of another creature as a beating stick... and the creature is screaming while you get your skull bashed in by said noodle ape, oh who also happens to be wearing parts of other creatures on him (we call it armor).
That is the scariest sh!t any monster will see that day.
Awesome work, makes me want to grab HH!
I remember Red Khezu horn suddenly becomes a soothing flute once you upgrade it, perhaps we can get something like that in Sunbreak
I never knew that about the red khezu horn. That would be pretty cool if we did get that in Sunbreak
Great how they upgraded the sound of the songs in the game where they turned the weapon into hammer-lite.
I believe the Bullfango Horn also comes from Sanctuary Abandoned by the Gods at around 44 seconds in, or at least it seems to fit very well.
The fact that the Khezu horn just screams is absolutely perfect
Yess omg thank you so much for making this video! I've also noticed some of these!!
For the bullfango horn, I've always thought it sounded like the Arctic Ridge theme?
Hmm, I will have to take a look at the Artic Ridge theme!
