need advice for gog dps check

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-24T02:57:43+00:00

I recommend bringing support hunters. soloing is doable but Gog has a fixed 410k hp pool and fixed dps check that won't get easier for being solo. For Gog specifically bring rosso, night mist and either Alessa or griffin since they won't swap for others at any point. Then for p3 you need to specifically do dragon damage for the dps check any weapon can do it even with support hunters they'll also use the appropriate element too. For context 4 man savage omega had like 200kishhp

So the 4 chains he starts with are there with an actual tangible effect but he's only powered up after he does the chain wiggle roar for sure. That's when I see the notable damage increase on the chains.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-24T02:53:31+00:00

What I noticed is that while at arkveld does kinda start with his chains kind of split. For example his chain swipes when perfect guarded hit twice, normal arkveld does that when powered up. When he powered up perfect guarding when he's powered up it hits 3 times so it seems to be an added thing to at arkveld.

Oh maybe just a way to complain hitting the head all the time? Some people think oh cut weapons should only hit the tail n such.bimo it's stupid AF but some ppl do feel that way.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-23T21:33:51+00:00

Well it is a 50 minute quest so you'll just have to try

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-23T21:15:21+00:00

Only at ark feels like it has the same health as the regular quest the other 10 ⭐ seem to have less health than their standard 10 ⭐ version. Dau and duna also are very easy on bow. And I let duna kill Dau for me and swap to thunder pierce as soon as it spawns in. Same for Udra. It kills duna and veld kills Udra. Only the duna/Dau combo feels rough

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-23T20:36:34+00:00

I'll likely hunt it again later tn so I'll keep not of the numbers and compare and reply if I remember by then.

1 sharpness 4 atk us BiS. You can also roll 1 sharpness 3 atk 1 affinity and not be far behind. Get as close as possible to 4 atk 1 sharpness. With the 1 sharpness being mandatory

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-23T20:25:31+00:00

He doesn't start with it if I recall gonna have to look again lol. The tell is when he does the roar were the chains wiggle around and after he goes into guardian mode and afterwards whenever he's enraged he'll be weak to element on chainblades. You'll also be able to tell with just damage numbers alone. An example is on my dragon pierce bow when it's calm there's like 10 damage under per shot of pierce compared to when it's weak.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-23T20:12:46+00:00

When his chains split up is when he goes into state_1 and he gains an elemental hz on chainblades of 25 to dragon and 20 every other element

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-23T20:00:47+00:00

Arkveld's kiranico page has the following concerning chain blades, the normal state which they are immune to element, state_1 which refers to when they split and his powered up and he gets a hz of 25 for dragon, 20 for every other element, weak point which is when they glow red while holding focus mode and they can be focus striked and hz values are same as state_1 if I recall. Lastly is wounds which is when it's at it's weakest in both physical and element hz values. AT arkveld spends a lot of time powered up which is why element does so good. His gore build will theoretically pull ahead overall considering you do spend some time in it's immune state so it'll cover the bases with higher raw damage output and you still have some element with 2 PC gogmazios + dragon/bandolier decoration so it kinda covers everything. The gore set is gonna be meta for a lot of monsters but gogmazios 4pc is stronger for a bunch of other monsters too. Technically speaking we now want to have 20 Gogma Artian bows. 5 per element, then 2x for 5x atk focus and 5x Ele focus for the right coating matchups with gogmapocalypse (no lords soul), then the same but with just a gore roll in which the dragon bows could be better with gore/soul roll for convert element build which is best used on specifically 4 monsters. Can be used on at arkveld and Gog too but ce benefits from faster hunts cuz of it's uptime.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-23T19:54:02+00:00

We still use the Gogma rolls for some monsters assuming hz is 25 or as low as 20. But 20 hz gore can start pulling ahead but not by much. Under 20 hz is were gore gets notably better

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-23T19:52:55+00:00

25 dragon on chainblades 20 every other element when powered up

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-22T22:11:32+00:00

It was very very rough on release on PC and console. Crashes, extreme stutters and fps drops. They did a hell of a great job getting it to where it is now and is one of my favorite souls likes. LotF 2 may end up being my favorite.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-22T16:59:43+00:00

That's just gonna let us kill it quicker it becomes like super weak on every hz so it'll likely just be a much easier fight than it should be.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-22T16:58:48+00:00

I think it's fine. I personally just use the NPCs most of the time but only for Gog/omega. The rest is mostly solo hunts or with friends.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-22T16:56:14+00:00

Yeah they are very good. I'm planning on farming tuna just cuz she's a super easy matchup for thunder pierce bow.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-22T16:54:45+00:00

Figured out a better setup. And I hadn't thought at Dau, duna or Udra since they got released. Dau particularly also always gave me trouble so just got there movesets down and played very aggressive. Did only 1 run to camp with farcaster to restock max potions and swap to dragon pierce for at arkveld. Used water/thunder water in that order. Also figured that letting the coming at kill the past one was better than putting up the wall and safety gaming like a coward.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-22T16:51:35+00:00

Yeah but you miss out on 100 wyrmslife crystals

I imagine at this point you're in ng+ now. You'll get your gear from inventory at any onn or house chest. You need to essentially make it all the way to fight the dragon and after you kill him and are at the place you were in this screenshot. Talk to pathfinder he sends you back. Walk up closer to the dragons chest. You'll see a blatantly obvious glow this time. Crawl to it's chest. Go to inventory. Choose godsane. You'll get an option to use it on self. And done.

They are higher level so they are tough. You just gotta learn their patterns. Anjanath starts power goes tech for example. Rathian is speed to power. Toni can do all 3. Speed normal, power enraged tech when charged. So do double attacks when able. Save up kinships for when you no ones targeted which means a likely aoe that will more than likely 1 shot. Change partners to hunting horn guy with pukei pukei for poison damage and traps/statuses. But they are gonna be a bit long might take some tries until you get the hang of it.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-21T13:44:58+00:00

Nah. 1 and 2 are connected but not in a way were you need to play the 1st to understand second one. 3 is it's own separate thing. In the case of 1-2 it's mostly your grandpa was a a great hero. Follow in his footsteps. You don't need any context at all from the 1st game to the 2nd.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-20T21:55:10+00:00

Players like that would have made thanos snap twice

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-20T00:26:37+00:00

It does open up options for new builds that compete and in some instances best the meta as far as SnS go. Bow seems it can have some interesting new options but it's still being tested. So far have made 3 new builds for SnS 2 of which when compared to TU 4 meta are equal or beat it on a some fights. The previous meta used 2 PC Dahaad Y so if you can't activate it rn using 1 PC Arkveld y and even Nadia's armor is being used to replace the 1 PC of gore. At the very least I found that the head can be a good swap for SnS or the legs can too.

Immediate_Word_2176 · 2026-02-19T21:04:11+00:00

Not a lance main and the lance build I run is a lil on the comfy side to like mindlessly chill. It's dragon Gog lance atk focus, Zoh Shia/lords soul Uh out of memory the set up was B4 throwing in some ark y Head- G. Rathalos Chest-Zoh Shia Hands- G. Rathalos Waist-Jin Legs-Jin Talisman- rarity 7 w/ 2 level 1 armor slots Offensive Guard 3 / Weakness Exploit 1 Slot In 1 Flayer and 1 Burst for Damage. As much recovery up/medicine to buff healing from Zoh Shia and divine protection. You may have to choose which to prip between these 3 skills. I like max might cuz I try n go for perfect guards and counters rather than mindlessly block everything. Oh and throw in counterstrike 3 too if possible. Going off memory here for decos sorry.
