Monster Hunter Wilds is probably the best entry into the series for newcomers, but the game also has a lot to offer for veterans and fans of the series. If you have ever let off steam in previous titles in the series, the final boss could seem to be familiar.
Attention spoiler: The following article talks about the final boss of Monster Hunter Wilds. If you want to experience it fresh, you should first play through the main story.
Which monster is the end boss of Monster Hunter Wilds? If you play the main quests, then you will end up at Zoh Shia, which is actually not a real natural monster, but an artificial creature that is out of control.
This is also evident in his moveset, which consists of brutal attacks. But more hidden behind Zoh Shia’s attacks, but the details can only be recognized if you have played other parts of Monster Hunter beforehand.

Pay attention to his attacks and the music
What are these details? The Content Creator ShinCry has released a video on X.com, in which it shows how much nostalgia is in the Zoh Shia attacks. Veterans of the series in particular can recognize a lot of this, but that’s not so easy, because so far you can only combat the monster once.
At the beginning you can see the rest position of the Zoh Shia, which looks like the rest position of Fatalis in Monster Hunter World. This is not the only detail that is probably inspired by old monsters. The attacks in particular show the sources of inspiration.
Here you can see the video:
Zoh Shia borrowed several attacks from other mighty monsters. The swing with claws in the ground is from the Shara Ishvalda from Iceborne and from Safi´Jiiva. The stroke also comes from the latter on the ground, which flows into an explosion.
The monster attacks also borrowed from the Fatalis. The large flame explosion and the fireballs come from the mighty kite, which once wiped out a kingdom. The creature also uses monsters away from World. Attacks by Crimson Fatalis, White Fatalis and the Gaismagorn can be discovered. Apart from the attacks, many animations are also reminiscent of Monster like Alatreon.
If you really listen to and compare the music from the Zoh Shia and that from Fatalis from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, then some similarities can be discovered, especially with the vocals used, as @sapplemyrup on X.com.
