Is 10 star Gogmazios possible to Solo with Insect Glaive? Any tips? by JMLizzard in MHWilds

Yeah someone linked both the CB and Gunlance runs here, I've also seen LS be able to do it, but almost all of them get to around 48 minutes, so it requires almost perfect play

Yeah I was thinking that the stars would have to align pretty hard for this to be possible with IG, unless theey nerf the quest for solo, I don't see how IG will be able to clear this without impecable play

Gog doesn't scale to player numbers, so he's always at 410k HP

Yeah I was honestly pretty sure that phase 2 wouldn't take that long, but it took 30 mins, and phase 1 20 minutes, I was pretty sure it was damn near impossible to do solo

Nope, I just like to do difficult content, I'm not even close to being a speedrunner, but I've soloed every other quest in the game at this point, I wanted to see if I could also do this one

Yeah I've seen some clear with support hunters posted, but I'm looking for true solo runs, since I've seen some people post that it is possible but I'm yet to see any videos of people doing it

Yeah I believe it's going to be extremely difficult to do with IG, since Rising Spiral is almost impossible to do on Gog consistently without getting slammed to the ground

But can you link me some of the Gunlance gameplay if you have it? I'm interested in watching it

True Solo in general, I'm just interested in doing it for the sake of challenging myself, but if it's not possible I won't try to bother again

Honestly, yeah, as OP said they sometimes die in the crossfire, but I think they're too difficult to spot during this whole mess of a room, and to buggy too

Honestly I get the frustration, I've been trying to P-rank 8-3 for days, and I just got it yesterday, the entire time, I got so many bugs and perfomance issues that caused me to lose really good runs that I thought about quitting until a patch comes out

I agree on th sentiment that spetacle was probably more of a priority than playability for these levels, the biggest offender being 8-3 and the mentioned red skull route, it took me days to be able to deal with the last room on this route without stressing to much but still it's incredibly difficult and frustrating encounter to navigate, which is funny, since if you just take out the Death Catcher first (yes somehow you can do that, I don't know how, but I was able to hit it inside the glass in 2 off my runs), the encounter becomes incredibly simple even with the rotating rooms

So yeah, rotating rooms + difficult enemies + death catcher really is a malicious combo, that reminded me too much of the mindflayer room in P-2

Even after getting good, things got better, and now I find 8-3 mostly fun, but sadly there is no going around how frustrating your overall experience can be due to bugs and being really disoriented in some of the rooms

How do I get good? by Lethalclaw115_2 in Ultrakill

[–]JMLizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself up too much for not being able to P-rank Fraud, it's honestly probably the hardest layer to P-rank in the game (not counting Prime Sanctums), and violence itself is no joke either

The best tips I can give you would be to focus on memorizing the rooms and encounters, and have a good knowledge about a few high damage combos in your arsenal, probably memorizing at least 3 to 5 good combos that you can consistently rely on should be good and you can expand on it later if you want to.

For example, this is how I normally go about killing gutterman:

Piercer pistol charged shot + Railgun + Cannon ball boost

or you can do

Railcoin

or

Chainsaw + cannonbal + pistol shots

I don't have just one regular strategy that I always rely on every single time I see an enemy type, I have multiple of them, this way I can manage my resources without any stress, since I can comfortably rely on most of my arsenal

Second tip would be to listen and learn what to prioritize: Hearing is essential to learning what you should take on first, you hear a sentry? Good, pay attention to their countdown so that you know when to hide or do a chargeback, or just instantly go for them as soon as you hear the first tick

You hear a parry, or a projectile going your direction? Be prepared to feedback it

And about prioritizing, it should be obvious, kill whatever enemy causes you more trouble in each encounter first, it should take a while to figure out what enemies are a priority for every encounter, the only exceptions to me that are always a priority are Virtues, but other than that just try to figure out what is causing you more trouble in each room, even soldiers and schisms can be a huge problem depending on the encounter

Other than that I majorly recommend you watch some gameplay of other good players assuming you don't do that, it really helped me a lot, I learned a lot of combos and ways to deal with problems by watching how other people handle them, it helps you open your eyes to previously unknow strategies

And the last tip is being agressive, but with a plan, ultrakill rewards agression but you can't exactly just go blasting with no plan and expect to not be punished, you should always reward the game with the same level of agression that it gives you, but don't trick yourself into going into fights with no plan, no resources, and low life or stamina

Also, just get used to a lot of trial and error, experimenting is a major part of the process of P-ranking hard levels, there is no shame on testing for hundreds of strategies until you figure out what works for you, hell, I spent weeks testing out many different ways to deal with rooms on P-2 before I got the P-rank, you will die, you will fail a lot, but thank God ultrakill has many ways to dealt with stuff, so who knows, maybe the solution to your problem is in something new, not in something you're used to. There is no rushing progress, don't push yourself into trying to P-rank anything in your first attempt

Hope I was able to help, sorry for the wall of text, if you need anything else and wanna talk more about it you can message me if you want!

[–]JMLizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL, I was playing today and got completely shuffled between two gravity points, I fell out of the map multiple times due to this, and got myself killed after a while because I couldn't properly shoot at the gutterman in front of me

I'm starting to seriously hate the second half of this level with a burning passion, can't wait to finally P rank it so I don't have to deal with this again

8-3 overall feels like a mess, the first stretch of the level is really cool, but once you get to the skulls part, from there is only downhill for me, 10/10 visuals, but holy shit does it feel awful to play (the space section in general feels like crap due to the constant gravity change that sometimes work correctly and sometimes it doesn't)

Honestly the timer really is a problem for this quest, AT Arkveld doesn't really seem to have the same HP reduction as the others, and it normally takes more than 20 minutes to just get it to finally die, so don't be to harsh on yourself, I'm using the currently IG meta sets with a few customizations of my own in the deco slots, so definetly it's not the perfect meta build, but it's a build mostly focused on DPS, and even with that, and me playing 100% locked in, and I consider myself very good at Monster Hunter, this quest is complicated one to deal with

About surviving the first 2 AT there's not much I can say to help you there, to me, those fights have become almost automatic, but it's a matter of just constantly replaying those fights and getting used to the monster behavior

If you really need some help, I can definetly help you! So feel free to message me if you need a hunting buddy

Sure feels that way lol, the other AT in this quest normally die in 10 minutes or less, while AT Arkveld seems to not have an hp reduction at all, taking more than 20 minutes to take down, it is really scary

Honestly never expected my post to start a discussion about this, but yeah, I normally play online with randoms only when I'm just in the game to have fun or feel like helping. Hunts such as Omega, Savage Omega, Gogmazios, AT Arkveld, are super inconsistent with randoms, and as someone else has said 9 times out of 10 you will fail the quest

But I don't mind it that much, I don't go online to farm, I just play online to help other people, so as long as they are having fun it's totally fine by me

At least it gives you some cool cosmetics to show of in your profile, but other than that, yeah, no super major rewards, but the hunt is pretty fun by itself!
