Addendum: Goldbeard Ceadeus

Circumstantially, I must be honest I find Goldbeard to be a bit underwhelming compared to the core Ceadeus. Being the gateway to G rank is certainly a good look, but without even the sparse story that normal Ceadeus enjoys, it really doesn’t offer much for first impressions before the fight proper. Skipping the tag along segment from the first gives a special sense of urgency when the fight first kicks off, but it also somewhat diminishes the majesty of such a monster, and if I’m honest seeing Ceadeus just swim naturally felt so incredible and interesting. Having that cut certainly streamlines the fight, but when it comes to presentation I’m not a fan. I adore the monster design behind the Ceadeuses, but as more or less a simple palette swap, I can’t say Goldbeard has any real benefits Ceadeus also enjoys. I still quite like this monster, but hardly so much as what it originally was.

3U (DB): This fight is one of the best examples of why I have my review rules the way they are, because my first fight with Goldie was miserable, but by the time I finished the armor set I’d really warmed up to it. Goldbeard’s physical attacks are largely the same as regular Ceadeus, but far faster and much larger. The ability to sweep his water beams really does help make Goldbeard a bigger threat at a distance. Apart from that though, there's really not too much that sets Goldie apart, and not much to talk about bere. It's still Ceadeus so I love it, but it's still a slight bit disappointing.

Rating: 8/10

It's still Ceadeus, but not much more...

Monster Review: Ceadeus

Now this is what underwater combat is. Ceadeus is so impressive and cool and I love him so much that even though the fight can be underwhelming at times the sheer spectacle of it all is enough for this elder dragon to coast through as one of my favorite monsters! I think that Ceadeus does the underwater leviathan in such a unique and impressive way that I have found myself literally fixated on this thing. The massive horns, fur and beard, and bulky tail make Ceadeus stand out as a monster from the generic sea dragon, and the fact that it's, y'know, MASSIVE already biases my opinions. Although weirdly enough, and I have to include this just because I think about it often enough it's a defining aspect of Ceadeus in my head, but I think it'd be spongy to the touch. Like waterlogged mattress foam, y'know? Ok with that out of the way I also want to say that the fact everything about this encounter, from the music, arena (I could do whole posts analyzing these so deeply), and even that you can't kill Ceadeus the first time around is designed to bolster that incredible grandeur makes this an incredible experience.

3U (DB): So the first thing to discuss is obviously phase one of the fight, where you trail Ceadeus through underwater cavern systems, attacking whenever you can, and more or less being completely ignored. Now there's obviously not too much to actually engage a player during this segment, but as mentioned earlier, the specatcle of seeing this hulking beast slide out of the shadows and through the deeps so casually is enough to do me in, and I'm not really that upset by this segment (moreso upset by the fact I didn't realize it can be skipped when Ceadeus is already in area 3). The slow intro to Ceadeus' attacks and movement is unique, and the way you have time to analyze and really appreciate the creature you're fighting is something I wished more focal-point fights had. But as you progress, you become more aware of how Ceadeus moves, and it makes the second phase far more natural to work around. Speaking of, in that second phase, Ceadeus begins to go on the offensive, and that's when the fight hits its peak. So, the arena itself is grand and incredible, honestly on of my favorite parts is just looking around in it, but more importantly, there's a submerged dragonator towards the top, and slightly right of that, an underwater ballista. The dragonator is a massive boon, but shockingly hard to hit the lean Ceadeus with, even with how massive he is. The ballista is nice if you've procured ammo beforehand from the Argosy Captian, but I don't really think it's worth it if you need to gather ammo in the arena. That's mostly because Ceadeus has two beam attacks it uses pretty frequently, and even from across the arena it means you can't really gather ammo in bulk without likely getting hit. Both water attacks can inflict waterblight, have really long windup periods, and deal pretty massive damage if you're hit. The first has Ceadeus stay in place, and blow the water straight forward, sliding back from the force, meaning you can't really attack the head safely during this fight, but anything behind that is pretty much free damage. Second is the sweeping beam, where Ceadeus arches its head and swings it down, making a massive vertical pass at everything directly ahead of and above/below it. This also has Ceadeus stay mostly in place, so if you're to the side of the attack, you can get a lot of easy hits off in this time. Aside from those are the physical attacks, one where Ceadeus lurches forward, and this particular move seems to always hit everything to Ceadeus' right and almost never anyone on its left, so if you keep to that side of the dragon, you'll be good. Ceadeus is also massive, so even being slow, its movement, double horn swing, and especially its dash attack (which is actually pretty fast) deal notable damage, and provide a pretty good challenge to the fight. The most dangerous and important attacks are however the aforementioned beams, as with how large the arena is, especially with a third dimension, if you don't want to be near Ceadeus, you don't have to worry about anything else, you can keep away easily. It's not an overly challenging fight, but the insane gravity it has from the story and general importance given to it by everything else, it's still immensely satisfying to fight.

Dire Miralis was one of my all time favourite fights i've ever experienced.

[hungryhungrymuses]

An incredibly tall, and even more incredibly wide, giggles softly as her towering body walks up behind Victoria. "That would be me, dear. You look very pretty, and I just thought you'd enjoy a little warmth~" The Goldbeard Ceadeus girl swayed her hips a little, setting her belly, thighs, and ass wobbling for the human. That vast gut on her was easily huge enough to smother and fatten Victoria like paper. And crush even the biggest of beds along with her. "Name's Cea, beautiful~"

@monstertamers

Victoria sneered up at the tall monster girl, which seemed to be a permanent fixture on the snobby rich girls face, looking as if she wanted to he anywhere but where she currently was, while also trying, and failing, to keep her eyes from wandering down to the tall womans belly. "So you're the perverted loser who wants to squish me with her fatass belly is that right? God you're such a loser. Get that fatass to my room so i can make fun of you properly!"

whatever you think is happening on house md it’s worse!

[kevanhom]

Goldbeard Ceadeus - the “Emperor Ocean Dragon”, an adult elder dragon from Capcom’s Monster Hunter series.

Unlike it’s younger counterpart, it’s remaining eye has been overtaken by its large horns.

[monster-huntologist]

So there’s a cephalopod Elder Dragon? Please tell me there’s a whale Elder Dragon or something that fights it. Like sperm whales and giant squid.

(There is actually! Ceadeus and it’s older form of Goldbeard Ceadeus, “Shining Giants of the Depths". They were the final bosses of the main story of Tri and 3U, essentially being fully aquatic versions of Zorah. They’re so strong that one of them was causing earthquakes just by rubbing it’s horn against the ocean floor.)

(And it does actually have a relationship with Nakarkos! It feeds on vulnerable Ceadeus pups, seemingly by squeezing the air out of their lungs until they drown. Once fully grown, adult Ceadeus will later go on to prey on the Nakarkos themselves.)
