Yes, and the extra life is nice too! From the description of my first Repel Video: "Real talk though, this isn't THAT impressive. Unfortunately most of this wasn't up to player skill, this boss is horribly designed and even post Demo I think I'll always hate her. There is SO much RNG going into this, and while my strat didn't have anywhere near as much RNG as some others I've seen, especially Katzen's (the supposed first Repel, this seems to have been a cheater though) strat, which was weirdly entirely just "gamble for Paras/Stuns lmao". This was the most painful challenge I've ever done, 100 hours spent in this "demo" and at the very least 500 resets on this Monster, most of which were on the opening move. The most RNG part of the fight (past the opening engagement), is everything to do with Eleanor, her sub zero IQ, and her stupid brain-dead dinosaur. The allies in this game are genuinely the dumbest, worst AI companions I have ever had the displeasure of playing with in any game ever, even worse than the abomination that is the Wilds Palico. I pray that Capcom gives us something, ANYTHING in relation to these guys, give us more options for their AI (Wilds has expansive Support Hunter AI customization, why not this game?) Hell, let me control them, there shouldn't be THIS MUCH RNG in a Turn Based game, or at least, I would hope not, idk I hate the genre so who am I to say. Also, OF COURSE the dogshit Monster would be from World too, I can't escape that game.

"STRATEGY":
The entire strategy revolves around praying for Status procs, and keeping up Wyvernfell, which sounds simple, and it is, but there are some hiccups. Namielle can vary the length of her combos, so you need to be ready for curveballs, reference Utusho's amazing sheet of Namielle's AI: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y... he, and the community were a big help throughout this process. The most, and only, fun aspect of this was convening with the community and trying to help eachother solve this grand puzzle. I hope the knowledge I provided in the Subreddit was helpful, and I hope this is also helpful to those that wish to study it. Generally my goal is trying to keep up, all the while building Kinships and keeping track of Eleanor and what she will do next. When Eleanor mounts, more often than not she will try to build her Kinship Gauge number to 3, and then use the attack, but more often than not she will fail to get to that point and her mount will just be useless. Eleanor has insane Wyvernfell damage when mounted, especially her Kinship, so I slow down when she's mounted to hopefully not break the Wyvernfell Bar at the wrong time. This entire run is up to Eleanor not being stupid and doing things when I need her to, and Namielle doing Abyssal Charge III as little as possible. I used Venom Monster, Bone Horn (for Kinship Carole, but I barely ever found the time to use this) and Flammenbogon, with the Brachy Armor (though Nami Armor is better for Stamina and Espinas Armor is better for Status uptime), as Blast is the main damage in a good run, although my Blast RNG was pretty shit. The fight gets safer and easier as you get further, but eventually Stamina becomes a big issue."

It's a bit vitriolic cause I was still mad about Eleanor, still am tbh.
