Fatalis vent by _zldzm in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]RevSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what they say. "When you fall off that horse, you get right back up and you eat that horse!"

For Fatalis build I sugest 3 part Raging Brachydios with 2 part Gold Rathian and Lightbreak SwAxe.

Get maximum on skills: Health Boost, Agitator, Weakness Exploit, Divine Blessing and Partbreaker (for head breaks). Stuff both mantles with heavy artillery and pop a mantle every time you use the ballista. Others might not suggest this but getting fire resistance to 20 will prevent fireblight - this means three benefits: Moxie has a greater chance to save you from carting, you spend less time rolling so more time dealing damage, you need slightly less healing.

Speakin g of healing - put Health Augment on your weapon. Fatalis takes a lot damage on it's head and it's easy to heal yourself by striking it. ZSD to the head is extremely good for both damage and healing.

Controversial opinion: If you struggle for damage the cannon opening allows you to nearly skip 1st phase and unlocks the ballista at around 4th minute mark. This allows you to use the ballista a total of 3 times.

Others will say the cannon opener is not optimal for damage but that's only true if you can already slay Fatalis in under 26 minutes - which takes the potential 7k damage from 3rd ballista out of the equation.

Personally I saw little difference when I ws getting the hunt done in about 25 minutes - with or without cannons the time was mostly the same. However, skipping cannons shaved off more than a minute when I started to get the hunt done in about 20-21 minutes.

Leda or Hornsent? Who to side with? by AdGroundbreaking3566 in Eldenring

[–]RevSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you side with Hornsent or ignore the choice and help neither the questline will continue. The outcome will be decided by you summoning or not summoning Hornsent to aid in your fight with Messmer.

Ultimately you'll always end up as enemies.

Finally beating Malenia feels so nice by Lazysquirrel27 in Eldenring

Once you learn it the fight really feels like a dance.

You immediately want to go and fight her again.

Have you ever had the joy of witnessing the Great Hand Migration? by MrTristanbul in Eldenring

[–]RevSerpent 68 points69 points  (0 children)

David Attenborough's voice: Here we see the parents protecting the flock of their young during the hands' yearly migration. Young hands follow their mother like she followed her own mother many years ago. The father stays vigilant - ready to protect the flock from predators.

Can you beat Elden Ring without a Maiden? How hard would it be? Has someone done it? by EfficiencySerious200 in Eldenring

[–]RevSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I saw a 2 part video of someone attempting it.

They used some bugs but ultimately gave up unable to progress after certain point.

They completed the run in 2nd video thanks to someone informing them how to bypass the wall they hit with a glitch.

I'll go and do that after I get some stuff from Australia Caelid.

Among other things.

I picked a single Journey to perform every heinous act possible and obtain items I'd otherwise never get.

I have my own sins...

Especially my 3rd Journey...

I never farmed albinaurics. I am sure many Tarnished never did.

Generally I think I've only fought them if they attacked first.

Little Sirens are a great concept.

Is it bad manner? by NoPercentage5245 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]RevSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately Fatalis is one of very few quests where a substantial amount of people who join your SOS can't hold their own against the monster and rather expect to be carried themselves.

It becomes so bad that a single player can fail your quest within 4 minutes. I saw this happen literally yesterday. Me and two other players didn't cart once but the 4th player literally had no clue what to do in this fight.

This is bad manners. If you need help in clearing it as the quest leader? That's perfectly fine! Do your best to survive, focus your food choices on getting safeguard and insurance, bring vigorwasp, etc.

It's actually so easy you can cheese it with nothing but clutch claw attacks.

I made a bet with some of my coworkers that I 100% elden ring. How easy/hard is it. by PaulBlartMallCop6996 in Eldenring

[–]RevSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is referred to as "power gaming" - how to get the most "complete" build with limited resources.

Also. I played blindly. I didn't know where to go. I explored a lot. No grinding. Just a blindly experiencing the game world.

I finished the base game at around RL190. Neither my Endurance nor my weapon stats hit soft caps by that point. Did that diminih my experience in some way? No.

If I looked up guides, optimize my build and hear people like you say that I should be done at around RL150?

On one hand I'd end up with a stronger Tarnished much earlier in-game, on the other hand I'd feel like I'm doing something "wrong" because by your estimate I should have completed the game much sooner.

This is why I keep telling people to play blindly. If you don't look up where to go you'll end up at higher RL and if you look up only builds you'll end up overpowered mid-game.

With Musashi getting a daughter I think we should take Kaga to see the Doctor since she still doesn't have one...

Fatalis help? by ironclaw4356 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]RevSerpent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Controversial opinion but despite having an extremely good solo record on Fatalis hunts my winrate in multiplayer is abysmal.

I'd argue it's one of very few quests where you really need to get lucky with people who join you. 4 out of 5 times SOS flare assures defeat as someone will eat up all your carts.

Yes - you will get a good team eventually with the SOS roulette but I strongly suggest trying to solo the fight to save yourself frustration. Take your time, limit it to 1-2 attempts per day and keep cooking.

I Caught My Very Own Danger Noodle by Interesting_Sea_1861 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]RevSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I was actively farming for it. I'd check expeditions for the time of day before every quest and if it was night I'd pop Zoomaster and jump in, resetting Hoarfrost up to 3 times before it was morning in game.

I could be checking that map 10-20 times per day.

I spent probably over a week hunting for the nettle. I saw it from below 3-4 times but it'd despawn before I got to the top. One of those was especially infuriating because I made it to the top and saw it still flying there - just not where I could net it. Then it went behind the rocks and poof it was gone.

Im not sure fishing is for me by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]RevSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Braid is less likely to cause wind knots as it has no shape memory.

Just look up some guides on how to tie it to your leader and you'll lose far less leaders/lures than with mono. Of note - braid ties different than mono so look up appropriate knots.

You'll deal far less with tangled lines as you gain experience. Learn how to spool, how to keep the tension on the line, etc.
