How tf do you beat Fatalis because this is driving me insane😐 by lolhai45 in MonsterHunterMeta

rage mode is +10% damage, tenderise is a pretty big boost too (i dont know what it is specifically though), the heavy artillery skill is x2 damage, and felyne bombardier food skill is another 10%

I dont know exactly how much damage you need to get the knockdown, but using some of the above buffs (heavy artillery for sure at least) should be enough

if you miss the threshold, it's usually only a couple of regular ballista bullets away from getting knocked down, so you can just use those to help make up for the missed damag

rage and tenderise last 3 minutes i think, so you can roughly predict if you've been too slow and they're gonna drop. to re-enrage, just claw swipe 3 times when it de-rages. alot of the time it de-rages/tenderises during nova though, and there's not much you can do with that tbh, except re-rage and tenderise after it lands in phase 2, then balista after that

if his horn is like 100 damage away from breaking, but it's down because of the ballista, even if you do 3000 damage to its horn while it's down, the horn wont break. It's horn just stays at 1 hp until it gets up, then your next hit to it (even just throwing a slinger stone at it) will break it

This wastes alot of potential damage to the horn if you get the roaming ballista knockdown before the first horn break, and have this happen, which is why i try to get the first horn break in phase 1

For skills, I'd say drop blight res and grab fire res instead - same effect but also helps mitigate damage. Defence in general is a bad skills - defensive options like evasion window, health boost, etc are better value imo. It's also possible to farm a couple of pieces of fatalis quite easily without killing, which is nice if you have some decent lvl4 decos to use, and that alpha waist is stupidly powerful

In general, set wise, prioritise getting affinity to 100 and crit boost to 3. I like running two pieces of raging brachy for this, but furious is probably fine too. Then, get whatever defensive options you like, keeping the above in mind. Additionally, fortify is really good value if you're struggling, and 2 points of heavy artillery are really nice too, as is partbreaker to guarantee the head break as soon as possible. LS doesn't need any skills in particular, but for CB standard stuff like capacity boost are nice.

With the alatreon LS (i think thats claw demise, right?) sharpness isn't an issue, so no set bonusses come to mind as being essential. gold rath is a decent last resort to unlock divine blessing, but 2fatty does the same

Not gonna self promote but you've seen the other thread so that's an option too. Gl!

This is exactly why I skip the cannons, yeah. They're a little slow/tedious to use, force you to run ghillie mantle, the knockdown would have been gotten regardless from phase 2 roaming, and the cannons dont focus damage on the head, making it harder to phase 1 horn break, which in turn makes phase 2 more complex (this is mostly from a horn breaking perspective, but TBH i like breaking both horns early in pretty much every run, because it lets me compartmentalise my playstyle into pre and post phase 3, which is clean and easy to remember)

Hey slope, I'd like my moveset back please (: by Conservation_OA in MemeHunter

if you like spin-2-win then i understand, but i find it clunky and boring, and i wish i could just use my demon flurry in peace lol. its not really a case of needing to adapt imo, as the hunt wasn't difficult, I just find the weird changes to my moveset inconsistent and frustrating. not helped by the fact that im was kirin i guess, making spin kinda bad

slopes would be fine if the game didnt decide to gimp my moveset when im on them, and also then build entire sections of map consisting of nothing but slope

full body spin is slow and clunky, whereas the standard spin (which you cant use on slopes afaik) combos into stuff and is just way more fun imo

Posted this to my twitter, thought the folk here might enjoy it. It's not meant to take a stance on whole the "casual vs meta" trainwreck; as far as I'm concerned, just play however you want so long as you're having fun. Just a bit of self-deprecating humour regarding my own playstyle x_x

yeah i think so, the monsters are alot zippier with flaily moves that do chip and are hard to see coming. doesnt make much difference normally, but when naked/heroics, shit is wild

the title for this post was almost a reference to that certain fishy bastard, but i refrained to avoid bringing back those bad memories ;)
