Discussion Is anyone else bothered by this?

Post image

Why is Dire Miralis’s official render so washed out? It looks like it was cropped out of a scene where harsh sunlight was shining on it. It’s the only render that looks like this, and it makes it really hard to distinguish the shapes, especially in the front. Is there something that explains this choice that I’m not aware of, or is this just a me problem?

I just love the idea about weapon that using a lot of focus mode to aim and boomerang would really suit focus mode so come up with this. hope you like this too!

(I started making this before we know anything about boost bracer so nothing about new mechanic at all. sorry!)

Ascendance This is a Guardian Black Gravios

• Upvotes

This is all speculation from myself but I was doing some observations and I came up with this:

Quite a bit of people speculate that this is a normal Gravios that Teostra is standing on, but as others have said, normal Gravios do not have glowing red vents. All Gravios (normal ones) have black holes only, and from what I’ve seen they never glow red even when enraged. This is only a black Gravios trait from what I have seen. The shell is also a pitch black, and even though it’s very dark, regular Gravios aren’t that dark when the brightness is dimmed, at most they’d be a darker grey. The small glow is also a giveaway it’s a guardian because what else right there could be glowing purple besides veins.

Many have also said that Toaster is standing on two Gravios or maybe a guardian Rathalos, but that’s incorrect too. The wing membrane is the same as a Gravios and also includes the same set of spikes on the wing finger. Teostra’s right arm (from his pov/your right) is standing on the Gravios’s face, which the neck is bent to where his paw is. Gravios is very big, but they way of how it’s laying plus Teostra’s position is enough to tell me one arm is on the wing while the other is on the face (hence the first photo).

Looking at the first photo, it’s fair to assume it’s just a normal Gravios, but the black markings give it away. The markings line the chin and the mouth as well as covering the horn. Guardians in general (besides Zoh Shia) have a strange color palette that combines new pale colors with the colors of the species they’re based from (Fulgur Anjanath to Guardian Fulgur Anjanath adding white over the orange). If you think of Black Gravios’s face, think of white markings put over where the black should be, as if the white is supposed to cover the whole face but it doesn’t by like 80%.

Guardian Black Gravios’s face is not damaged as I had to look at a normal Gravios’s face directly to see that the curves are fine, there’s no chipping as for what I can tell. The Gravios aren’t charred either. No black marks on normal Gravios’s face, and the horn is mostly the normal grey color too (maybe a bit darker if in shadows), but the one that Teostra is standing on is black. So that guardian Gravios would have a mostly white face with a black horn.

On Twitter, MH themselves stated that there are new guardian species that are appearing in different regions, like the Guardian Rathian in Windward Planes (No that is not an infected Rathian). The fact that a crystallized tail of a Gravios appearing in Skybound Eerie is already evidence that a guardian Gravios does exist somewhere in the world. There could also be a pattern with the elder dragons too as each one could have their own issues with the guardians. Kushala is shown fighting a swarm of guardian Doshaguma, and now it’s Teostra fighting a guardian black Gravios, and potentially another elder fighting a different brand new guardian.

My conclusion would be that Guardian Black Gravios would look somewhat similar to the last photo, mostly white on the face and wings with the prominent black carapace and red vents a normal black Gravios had. I’d suspect that Guardian Gravios ran into Teostra and decided to go at him (Because the behavior of Guardians are an anomaly, they are hyper aggressive and this Gravios would be abnormally aggressive compared to normal ones), and they’d fight a bit until it gets overwhelmed and Teo goes in for the kill.

Personally I could see the three elders from explore make a return and maybe even Flame Ratha, Scorch Heat Rathi, Iceblast, Immortal Zin, and maybe even Landconquest could make a return but what do you guys think?

Discussion As a representative of your main weapon, any tips you wish you knew when first using it?

25 Upvotes

I used an insect glaive in World, where I didn't use the essences until the Elder's Recess. In Rise, I used dual blades and picked up the mechanics early, but didn't realize that I could dodge through some attacks and that I didn't have to put the weapons away all the time to run. Finally, in Wilds, I have used the great sword and consistently forget that tackling can help a lot. So I ask: what is something that you wish you knew about your main weapon(s) that you wish you knew from the start?
