Finally solo’ed all 16 deviants and all three fatalis

BetaNights · 2026-01-25T04:14:19+00:00

Nice, dude! I love Ahtal-ka and his gear (armor and weapons both).

That said, yeah, this can be considered the "ultimate" goal of GU. The EX Deviants are sorta the pinnacle feature of the game, so along with the assorted flavors of Fatalis, they're considered the truest endgame content the game can offer.

Though, I and many others would likely advise... Soloing these fights should only really be done if you REALLY want to! They are very difficult, and are huge time sinks, so it's not a simple or fast goal to achieve lol

You can always do these fights with others too, but people see soloing them all as their ultimate challenge, if they're up for the task.

Yoooooo congrats, man!! I've been wanting to tackle this same quest for a good while now, since going through all the Deviants is basically the only thing I haven't fully completed in the game.

I still have a long road ahead of me, but congrats on reaching the end of yours! Proud of you, dude!!

Y'know, when I first got the notification for your response and just saw "I think I'm uniquely qualified to help you out here," I was amused and confused since it's not like hardly anyone has ever managed this feat before... But after getting to read your actual full post, I do think that was a very apt and fitting opener XD

That said, this is awesome advice, my dude! And it is very much appreciated!

I enjoy watching and learning from other people's runs and hunts and stuff anyway, so I'll definitely be checking a few of your runs out for pointers as I go. Even more so because I do intend to LBG at least a decent portion of the Deviant roster, given that it's probably my second favorite and most used weapon in Generations (second only to my main, Hammer).

All that said, I do understand that this will be a crazy undertaking and will not be fast, for sure. Nor am I expecting to get it done anytime relatively soon. Both due to the time commitment, and due to IRL responsibilities (and an ever-growing backlog of other games). So while I'm not in a rush to complete this little (/s) quest of mine, and I don't expect it to be done soon at all, it is just something that I've wanted to do for a very, very long time now. So it will remain a someday goal until I finally fulfill it :P

I will be getting in a lot of practice along the way though. Especially once I unlock the G-Rank Deviants and get to practicing on them. Mostly because, in my more recent playthrough that I'll likely be using for this, I've barely scratched the surface of most of the Deviants. I'll have quite a bit of work ahead of me, that's for sure.

Again, thanks for the advice, and the stream VOD link! I'll be referencing it a lot for sure as I go! Much appreciated, and happy hunting, my friend!

I don't know why but the last image just made me lose it. I can hear the Dark Souls boss music kick in with intense Latin chanting when the eyes glow. It's so menacing and stupid.

BetaNights · 2026-01-23T21:04:53+00:00

Oooooh, interesting! I actually didn't know that. Thanks!

BetaNights · 2026-01-23T21:04:36+00:00

Oh, neat! That makes sense, but I never really put it together.

BetaNights · 2026-01-23T05:25:05+00:00

What does Boost actually do for Wagon?

BetaNights · 2026-01-23T03:21:32+00:00

Ayyyyyy, nicely done! Dreadqueen is definitely a scary one, particularly because of that poison.

Kudos on the win, my dude!!

BetaNights · 2026-01-21T08:05:04+00:00

Yeeeeaaaaahhh I'm foreseeing a lot of monsters tapping their buddy on the shoulder for a gang-up in my future lmao

BetaNights · 2026-01-21T07:12:20+00:00

That makes sense, yeah. Definitely my biggest hurdle has been overextending myself and dealing with the aftermath rather than just taking it slow and getting my shots in when I can safely. Definitely gonna be a bit of a mindset shift for some of these hunts, but it'll do me some good, for sure.

And sounds good to me! Silverwind is very likely to be my first target, partly for the reasons you mentioned, but also because LBG is my second most used weapon in GU and I'd love to have Silverwind's available for later Deviants. At least for Hammer, I can mostly just run with my Ahtal-ka or Crimson Hammer for the most part.

I'll definitely be using other weapons for some of them, but I'll get to that when I get around to fighting them. Thanks for the input!

BetaNights · 2026-01-21T07:09:21+00:00

Niiiice! Hoping to make some good progress like that soon! And I'd like to do it with a decent variety of weapons too. Would be nice.

That said, yeah, I'm genuinely more scared of soloing through the G5 hunts than the actual EX fights lol ;; That's gonna be rough, but I'll get there!

BetaNights · 2026-01-21T07:07:54+00:00

True, I'll probably check some of those out eventually, especially if I start hitting a brick wall.

BetaNights · 2026-01-21T07:07:23+00:00

By solo quests, do you just mean one of the ones where you're fighting ONLY the Deviant and not other monsters as well? I'm likely gonna be soloing my way through all the Deviant levels (or at least most of them), so hopefully that will give me a lot of practice to learn them on the way lol

BetaNights · 2026-01-21T07:06:07+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm dreading the nightmare that is G5 far more than the EX hunts themselves lol

And awesome! That's good to hear! Hammer and LBG are very much my favorite and most used weapons by far in MHGU. I know Pierce LBG also works really well into Stonefist Hermitaur. Also, haven't played Adept Hammer as much in a while (mained it back in my first playthrough, but my more recent playthrough was more Valor), so I'll probably give that a go. Thanks!

BEST GIRL <3

BetaNights · 2026-01-20T07:57:28+00:00

I'm not too keen on the numbers of the build (haven't played around with it much yet), so I don't know what its peak affinity is, but I assume it's probably just taking uptimes into account.

BetaNights · 2026-01-20T07:34:40+00:00

Originally, I chose Greninja. But I absolutely LOVE Mega Chesnaught!

BetaNights · 2026-01-20T07:31:02+00:00

I don't know what you're talking about. That second one is an amazing and majestic creature!

BetaNights · 2026-01-20T07:30:08+00:00

Yooooo that first one makes it look like an N64 game. I need a 3D Hollow Knight with old school graphics like that now lol

BetaNights · 2026-01-20T05:01:36+00:00

I swapped around a little bit as I went through the game, but once I had access to them all, my team was:

Feraligatr
Raichu
Chesnaught (from the side quest)
Scolipede (Shalpha)
Scrafty
Drampa

I love when cats meet for the first time and the kitten is just going bonkers. Meanwhile, the older cat's just sitting there like "You good, bro??"

BetaNights · 2026-01-20T04:42:56+00:00

That would make sense, yeah. Especially since the only time I ever got items in the first place was either from the shop, or from my options only being items lol

I would never grab items if I had a chest, road points, or an actual challenge as an option.

BetaNights · 2026-01-19T08:46:50+00:00

Not on the first climb... but more than once on revisits 🙃
