I love how it starts brutally burning everything in sight until the whole Secluded Valley is on fire and then it turns to the hunters like "Ok, where were we?"
We now have some more terrifying context for this cutscene, thanks to the newly-released encyclopedia. I'm extrapolating from translations though, so I could be off the mark. If you look closely at the frozen environment, you'll notice that parts of it resemble the cocoon that Xeno'jiiva hatched from. This is because *that is exactly what they are.* The Secluded Valley is Safi'jiiva's *nest,* and Alatreon just razed it to the ground, which is why it showed up in the first place - it didn't flee from Fatalis after all. In fact, Safi was apparently the trigger for Fatalis's awakening, though it's hard to say when exactly this started.
@Specter Prime Given how rare Alatreon itself is, this is a battle that has likely culled both species numbers down significantly from their original populations. I imagine a lot of ruins and ecosystems that show signs of prior immense destruction may well have been sites of members of both species taking cracks at each other and causing massive collateral damage.
@LadyKatsuyu-kv8eo Whoa whoa whoa..... Is this divebook something canon to the game? If that so, does that means there are *two* Alatreon(s) all this time???
Notice it how it seemingly purposefully avoids burning the hunters while burning down the secluded valley it then focuses on the hunters looking at them for a minute then decides to declare attack. it shows intellect a lot of it. That first fire blast at them before it started burning down the secluded valley seemed like a go away blast if anything
@@eawavy2316 I think quite a few of the elder dragons are remarkably intelligent black dragons even more so. Another 2 examples of high intellect is shagaru magala in both it's rise and 4u cutscene in it's rise cutscene it seems to purposefully use one monster to beat up another while in 4u it looks at the player for a long while circling it a bit seemingly recognising you from when it was a gore showing off a bit afterwords, even as a gore it has shown a lot of tactics and knows exactly how it's virus works. And Fatalis, Fatalis lorewise has been known to melt humans and their armour to toughen his hide even more on top of that it mocks humans by walking upright mockery is a high sign of extreme intelligence.
And since the Research Commission had previously killed Safi'jiiva during its Siege, it settled for destroying what was left. Good thing, too, because it made sure to thoroughly destroy those cocoons to prevent any other Xeno'jiiva from developing.
@@gojigiante Ibushi and Narwa are just trying to make the world safer for their offspring, I believe. That's why they want to trash it before Narwa slaps some eggs down
My favourite part of these cutscenes is how despite how ferocious and epic the monster looks, they are about go get beaten to death by some idiot wearing a hawaiian shirt, a jester hat and their pet cat.
To quote RageGamingVideos: "Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the FUCK-OFF BLACK AVATAR DRAGON ATTACKED AND KILLED EVERYONE!"
2 solid hours of attempts, 560hours of MHWI, full dragon attack augmented armour and weapons, not ONCE has a party I’ve hunted with survived his first explosion
My head cannon for this scene is that Alatreon just arrived at the same time as us and was scoping out the area for a bit. Then he started to do what he came here to do, destroy the nest by burning everything. After he finished that, and the thick icy mist disappeared, he noticed us and probably thought "Oh? Well, didnt expect to see other creatures here" and then proceeds to fight us. We were never his objective. Probably never even noticed us at the beginning. Once he did, then he decided to fight
My favorite monster, the attacks reward positioning a ton which i really enjoy, great design and soundtrack, only thing holding it back is the threshold system.
I think MHWI's Alatreon may be older and more powerful than Tri's and Gen/GenU's Alatreon. Why? 1. Iceborne's Alatreon truly has mastery over all elements. The old gen Alatreon had mastery over only four, the exception being Water, and was even equally vulnerable to Water in either of its two states...not as much as Dragon when in Ice/Thunder or Ice when in Fire/Dragon, but it was second best for both forms. Iceborne's can even use Water! 2. He seems more elementally stable in Iceborne. Old gen Alatreon would change elements at random, as if it couldn't fully control its power, and was limited to the elements for its specific mode. Iceborne's Alatreon only switches weaknesses after an Eschaton (if at all), and can use all elements regardless of whether it's Fire or Ice-active. 3. Eschaton Judgment. This essentially forces anyone who dares challenge 5th gen Alatreon to go in with an elemental weapon. Old gen Alatreon had nothing like this, and could be safely challenged with just raw damage without fear of a guaranteed cart.
Alatreon keeps shifting elements and when it gets to a point where it can't "contain" them, it just kinda explodes with that energy. In the game we can see it in the form of it's Escaton Judgement attack, after which it then shifts to a different element yet again. I probably got some of that wrong, but that's the basic idea. In the context of the cinematic, it just looked really cool :D
Well you first have to deal enough element damage, so his ultimate attack does not kill you, during the first phase. After Alatreon switches to dragon element his horn becomes breakable. Now you break his horn once so Alatreon switches back to the starting element and not the opposite element after unleashing the ultimate attack. Now you repeat this.
I love how it starts brutally burning everything in sight until the whole Secluded Valley is on fire and then it turns to the hunters like "Ok, where were we?"
HE IS LOOKING US LIKE : little piece ugly sh*t

It’s a show of dominance and absolute power
"excuse me just one second - GOD FUCK GET THIS FUCKING SHITTY ICE OUT OF HERE I FUCKING HATE ICE!
Right then, where were we?"
@@professor.moriarty9803 Nah, its burning down Safi'jivas cocoons because adult Safis are a big threat to Alatreon
I'm happy his roar isn't just a copy/paste of Teostra's anymore.
It’s way more unsettling now
True
Sounds like a monster harnessing all of the elements he uses to attack that intend to destroy each other in terrifying harmony. A walking disaster
Great!!, its sounds like a printer now
The fact he end of cutescene alatreon just stare to your soul with his cold demonic eye
The tally between me and Alatreon is currently 21 - 52. I'm not gonna give up untill I can solo this majestic bastard.
how's that score doing now?
@@p3pable been slaying 70 Alatreon so far. my elemental bow make him a joke, dude even topples 3 time before each of Escaton Judgement

The second Alatreon fleed from FataliS
So Alatreon wanted to kill Safi and any potential offspring?

Alatreon knows how to set the mood lighting
I really like how the included the other hunters in it as well

The harbinger of doom has come.
And doom is eternal

Also Alatreon: BOOOOOMMMDHHDJEJSBSJEJSJDNN!?!?
And every time he changes back from dragon element: Wanna see me doing it again??
Remember when he was an online-exclusive and we couldn't hunt him after the servers were shut down in Tri?
Dude gave a sassy supervillain turn after setting up the environment. Dude did a Sephiroth in Nibelheim.
What's so scary about alatreon?
1. The screech is just creepy
2. His red, yellow, green eyes is just way too creepy
3. His face
4. Escaton Judgement
I was just hunting this guy. I failed the quest but my cat got me an Azure Dragonsphire. On my first try! LOL 😂

Looking at Alatreon I understand why most dragons don't have reverse scales
You can literally feel... how evil is this guy.
Not evil. Alatreon prefer to isolate themselves to not cause damage. Fatalis, however. THAT is an evil dragon.
Yeah, alatreon has an evil look, but they rather hide. The only reason he is here is because of safi’jiva. Remember….we lefts carcasses.
Fatalis: *sup bitch?*
Alatreon isn’t evil. Monsters like Fatalis and Ibushi and Narwa are tho.

I wanna know how the Mernos we ride always survive this shit
they probably don't. we probably just keep replacing them (this case in particular seems particually deadly)
pretty sure you can see them burning up in the background while alatreon starts mood lighting the whole place
Everyone always brings a blast weapon in this cutscene 😂

Dragon element is not really the way to go. Better to have ice and fire.
Yep Dragon element deals pitiful damage. Unless you are using Dragon DBs, just either use ice or fire.
Have you beaten him yet?
Me too after 4 times of victory. I quit fighting alateron. Alateron is really tough girl
I have used dragon element plenty of times and I was using low sword so yeah you’re perfectly fine using Dragon
I say Diablos or Shara have the best ecology trailers, but both pale in comparison to this ecology video.

No cutscene in any MH game I’ve ever played, compares to the awe inspiring power this cutscenes has.

Theres something about how aletreon acts thats feels very human
I can't help but notice that they ran in with blast and poison weapons XD (unless they're layered)
Is it just me or does alatreon look like a fusion between zinogre a snake and a dragon
What a beautiful dragon

Anybody have a link to those sound effects? I recognize them as stock roars and growls, though I’m not sure.
I definitely hear a tiger bellow in there.

He came there cuz of safi and he was burning tbe place because it was full of xeno eggs
he is unstable the lore state even Alatreon cant hold his own element. he just going mad holding so much power
@@ayusoraua570and cuz he was there to (if safi wasnt slain by hunters) kill safi and destroy the other xeno eggs
Please.. no more blast weapons😭😭😭
How does capcom expect us to fight something that can change elements mid fight
