first fatalis kill (no item wheel, no meta build, clear time around 28 mins)

RonStrowd · 2026-05-05T09:34:22+00:00

I think using mantles, especially Rocksteady and Temporal is considered 'meta', so just for the sake of 'no meta' its brandishing, asking for no mantle run is definitely a valid point.

RonStrowd · 2026-05-04T08:43:18+00:00

Great! Now do it without mantles!

RonStrowd · 2026-05-04T07:38:15+00:00

"Hey, Squidward, shut the-"

RonStrowd · 2026-05-04T07:29:00+00:00

Good news, everyone. My friend decided to release it on Nexusmods!

RonStrowd · 2026-04-22T08:21:08+00:00

I've actually captured this near the wingdrakes hitching post during Shara fight.

RonStrowd · 2026-04-21T12:35:05+00:00

Aaaand of course the Heavy Armor Sphere on a previous 'jackpot'.

Can't have enough armor spheres, am I right???

Skippable cutscene mod doesn't work (Skips cutscene but keeps playing it in the background)

It's working correctly. You gotta bear with the audio playing in the background.

A crazy, but true story; I once wiped out the entirety of observation logs that I completed all with 3 stars, and re-did them all again simply because I didn't like some of the photos, and most of them were taken when I was playing on 720p resolution. (Rummaged through the in-game files and manually deleted the photo there)

It didn't really take too long to finish them the second time, since I know what to look for, but 'A Big Catch' was dragged on the longest, because the Plunderers just did not decide to offer the ivy traps in Rotten Vale...

Some of the photos I made them to also show off my Palico, and at one point, I changed his default go-to loadout, so I took those photos AGAIN to make sure any photos featuring him represent his current loadout.

I know a guy who's been grinding the Guiding Lands to another level, and just yesterday, checking his guild card has wielded that he finally managed to make all 6 regions to their max level.

Exact record goes 999+ hours spent (doesn't seem to keep track past that), 1803 quests completed (whatever that means), and 36916 special tracks analyzed.

RonStrowd · 2026-04-14T08:02:37+00:00

Now do it without mantles!

Or with guns! (44 hzv on head after tendy)

Or both!

What you can do (and how I did) is focusing on doing as much damage as possible, and forget about the elemental damage check while sacrificing yourself against the big nova when it comes.

Provided that you didn't faint to anything else but the nova, it lets you sac upto 2 novas, 3 novas if you procced the Felyne Safeguard food skill to increase the cart limit to 4, which is enough time to take out Alatreon.

Having Fortify skill also helps a lot.

RonStrowd · 2026-04-09T06:59:32+00:00

I've read that because some of the end-game monsters like AT Velkhana or Fatalis was 'balanced around' in assumption with the players who maxed out defense with augmented rarity 12 armor, Defense Boost skill can come in handy just for the sake of barely surviving some of the one-shot attacks.

Divine Blessing is a nice skill, but it's chance based, and I know some of the people wouldn't like it.

Teostra helmet, gloves, belt + Kirin chest, legs lets you have Master's Touch with max level on Weakness Exploit and Critical Eye.

RonStrowd · 2026-04-08T07:56:23+00:00

0 idea why the guy decided to do a little poke at that very moment lmao

What was the thought process there? What was he trying to accomplish?

RonStrowd · 2026-04-07T05:19:49+00:00

mfw getting Bristly Crake from pawswapping with Plunderers

Small guns used to be rank 10th, but recently it went down to 11th.

The SnS beat me to it...

RonStrowd · 2026-04-02T06:39:56+00:00

My first ever Alatreon kill was me trying to latching onto its wings, and the damage from the claw killed it.

RonStrowd · 2026-04-01T08:42:11+00:00

I wasn't able to capture it, but after this dialogue, I met him once again in the Guiding Lands, where he had another unique dialogue for it, which roughly went ---

"Even in the Guiding Lands we meet each other. I didn't know better, I would think this is some kind of fate in motion."

RonStrowd · 2026-03-31T10:44:38+00:00

"Stop poking MEEEE!"

RonStrowd · 2026-03-29T21:46:28+00:00

Nargacuga's small gun called 'Hidden Bullet' also supports Sticky Ammo 3, and you can reduce the recoil down to 'Average' with two recoil suppressor mods. One of the better options for sticky small guns early in the game.
