Cards on the table: I’m a real story. I love me, wiki rabbit holes, and two hours YouTube malfunction. I have fallen asleep on more gaming articles and deep divers that I care about to admit, and thus fond of unclear secrets in the games I play in sports. Monster Hunter Wildes, in terms of story, people have been torn – and why I get fully – but he may have also paid tribute to the oldest mystery of a series.
This article includes spoilers for the entire lower -level story of Monster Hunter Wilds – you have been warned!
This mystery is linked to ancient civilization, the ruins whose players have been able to discover and hunt in their entire life. However, the forest actually puts this period in its statement. Starting with icy sticks, you are surrounded by the rest of the vivoria, even once you enter the last major hunting zone – literally called The ruins of Vyrea.

Now, while Vivoria is a new aspect for this lore, the ancient civilization itself has to go for a while. Recently. , We know that people are mobilizing with all kinds of technological developments, we know that they are killing monsters on the surface. They even used dragon parts to build a massive tower all over the place. This, as you can imagine, upset the monsters to some extent. All of them were named as the “prohibited act” in the big naughty event, in which ancient civilization created artificial life, though another creature would need to die to do so.
This last section should immediately start lifting the eyebrows of Monster Hunter Wildes Players, as a good portion of the game (and finally dealing with it) “Guardian monsters” – artificial monsters are created many years ago and kept in cocoon. Although it seems to be a direct link to this lore, there is still an important detail. Equal Dragon Weapon (or EDW).
Now, EDW first showed in concept art Very first monster hunter gameBut in fact, no other monster has never entered the Hunter Project. Therefore, non -canon. It was created by Franklin Einstein-Ais, made from 30 different monsters, which was developed together through metal plates and framework. These are appropriate serious things, and perhaps very dark for the original Monster Hunter Games. In the minds of many fans, including me, it seems like a guardian (and a very special monster on which we will be touched in a second) is the evolution of this original EDW Idea, or at least a callback.

Insert Zoo Shia, the last boss of a low -level monster Hunter Wildes Story. The boss is also an artificial monster, and has different features that seem as if they come from different dragons. When you move forward during the fight, the black dragon face and the cracks of white heads are opened to reveal the face of the black dragon and the massive black pads (a lore bomb blast itself).
At this stage, attacks like Black Dragon Flatiles are also used, and lends the idea that it was an ancient dragon created with DNA – or even straight up parts – the old dragon, all behind the ware milk shell.
In the forests, Zoo Shi’a is described as the “ultimate weapon” of ancient civilization and eventually caused it to end, the keeper sealed. In my mind, either the Zoo Shia and the Guardian monster is the canon version of the EDWS (this effort with Shi’a), or the steps in the process of creating an artificial life of ancient civilizations. In any way, this is an amazing callback for older players of the monster hunter, and adds layers to the story that deepens the series appeal.

And it makes the forest sequence even more interesting. There are book cabinets full of information about ancient civilizations that cannot even read the Bozo keepers, and there is nothing but the time to dig the hunters through them and expose more secrets. The old Monster Hunter Games has been established in which the ancient civilization files have been discovered and the notice is the details of mysterious monsters that we have never seen. Maybe they will show!
And maybe, perhaps, in a room, in Cocoon, behind some closed door, the keepers never bother to open, a original EDW is sitting there. More information about the past has been fixed, and it opens the jungle for all kinds of interesting revelations and revelations. I was very excited to see what was coming in the coming months and years.
