Monster Hunter Wilds Finally Explains Artian Armor

by

Summary

  • The Monster Hunter series hints at a post-apocalyptic setting through lore and in-game elements.
  • The Artian Armor and Weapons suggest a regression in society due to past technological advancements.
  • Monster Hunter Wilds provides extensive lore on the fall of the technologically advanced Wyverian people.

For years, there’s been much discussion about the backdrop of the Monster Hunter series. Some argue that it’s post-apocalyptic, while others suggest it’s more accurately described as post-disaster but not entirely post-apocalyptic. Still others believe it’s merely set in a time when civilization wasn’t as technologically advanced as we are today. In simpler terms, the debate revolves around whether the world of Monster Hunter has been completely devastated, partially damaged, or if it’s just less technologically advanced than ours.

A significant source of this discussion stems from the Artian Armor collection, a recurring element in the series. Though it appears somewhat futuristic, this armor is said to be crafted from remnants of an unearthed relic. The details about its origin are shrouded in the mists of time.

It’s thought that an event reminiscent of the devastation wrought upon the Schrade Kingdom by Fatalis might have struck our world, causing a temporal regression, and this could be why we see the Artian Armor. Yet, this theory remains unverified within the game’s background story.

In Monster Hunter Worlds, we’ve received our most significant clue yet about the series’ backstory, supporting the idea that the games take place in a world that has undergone an apocalypse.

Monster Hunter Wilds Artian Armor Confirms Series Post-Apocalyptic Setting

Monster Hunter Wilds goes some way to confirming the series’ post-apocalyptic setting.

The text indicates that Wyveria and its inhabitants, the Wyverians, possessed such sophisticated technology that they were capable of fabricating living entities. These creatures, often referred to as the Guardian Monsters of the Wilds, were actually crafted by the Wyverians themselves.

As a captivated admirer, I can’t help but marvel at the Artian Weapons unveiled by Wilds. These innovative creations not only hint at a potential societal regression, but they also shed light on the intricate workings of Wyverian technology.

In several compelling scenes throughout the game, it becomes evident that the Monster Hunter nation had evolved into a technological powerhouse, shining brightly in the global landscape. Regrettably, this progress seemed to attract unwanted attention and conflicts from other nations.

As I delved deeper into the world of Wyveria, it became clear that their army of artificial monsters were there to protect the land. However, one of these creatures was so overpowering, it reduced our once familiar surroundings to nothing but ashes and dust.

In a simpler, more conversational style, Wilds offers an extensive backstory on the downfall of the Wyverians, making us excited to discover more details as the game unfolds!
