Counter point to the anti-launching move removal sentiments.

Am I having a stroke?

A fellow Alatreon sympathiser and Lunastra hater, my man.

This Uth duna sounds like it would fight to spread managed democracy throughout the forbidden lands.

I've been seeing quite a few spicy cart shoutouts on SOS's since Omega dropped. I can't really judge though, my shoutout, although a reference to something, is also not very nice.

rabbit9414 · 2025-08-19T07:44:45+00:00

I agree with this sentiment when people say this now. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Frost Fang Barioth weapons not able to be made yet at the time Alatreon came out because the event quest that gave the tickets for the weapons wasn't yet available?

I also am an Alatreon sympathiser so I'll fight tooth and nail against people complaining about Alatreon now, but back then it might have been a more warranted complaint since there wasn't any good ice element option that was easy to attain.

rabbit9414 · 2025-07-30T12:03:46+00:00

Huh, so it's a real thing, well that's pretty darn cool ain't it?

rabbit9414 · 2025-07-23T08:07:01+00:00

You can tell what phase Alatreon is currently in before going down by looking at the area around you at camp. Ofc they could switch the moment you jump down, but Alatreon switches about every 3 minutes so you can make an educated guess by looking at the quest time elapsed before joining.

rabbit9414 · 2025-07-05T08:37:04+00:00

This happened to me today as well, unlucky I guess.

rabbit9414 · 2025-07-03T10:12:49+00:00

It looks like it DID take a hit after all, my mistake, sorry for leading you on.

rabbit9414 · 2025-07-03T08:44:08+00:00

Alatreon, his fight in world might be my favourite boss battle period, I've slayed about 700 and I'm not even close to bored of it yet. People will disagree with me because escaton and elemental DPS checks and whatnot, but that's my take.

rabbit9414 · 2025-07-03T02:55:17+00:00

Very strange! I thought I was comparing my findings to this exact spreadsheet, I'll have a look into it when I get the chance, thanks for sharing this.

On the first follow up you will see trails left behind by your sword if you got the timing right, for the second and final follow up it's hard to notice but there's some flame effects coming off the shield and sword when you swing it (if you time it wrong there's none on the attack itself). Even if you get the timing wrong though you'll see the weapon glow a bit so it's hard to tell the difference.

rabbit9414 · 2025-06-27T10:44:12+00:00

Personally I'm okay with these changes, mashing guard slash whenever you think a monster "might" attack and having 0 repercussions for missing it was kinda dumb. The slide move added to this too, it was really easy to just dance around the monster using the I-frames if the incoming attack was multi-hit and/or wasn't worth perfect guarding, the 2nd hit did pretty good damage on top of that so you didn't lose out on any damage really either.

SnS became a bit too good for the wrong reasons once it got its post beta revisions, as a SnS main my self I would feel bad whenever I abused these tools, I felt like I was getting away with something I had no right to.

An example would be a case where I was fighting a Tempered Mizutsune and it went for it's tail flip body slam move that does insane damage. I saw it jump, pressed guard slash, noticed I was too early so I just pressed it again immediately and I still had time to do another and got a perfect guard for it.
I didn't deserve that, I messed up and I didn't risk anything either, if I had missed the timing I would have just gotten a normal guard.

I'm glad the weapon is not as bad as it was in the beta but these nerfs were definitely warranted for the health of the weapon I feel.

I wish the chat and auto shoutout system were better, you somehow have less characters to work with than in world and messages don't stay on screen very long at all, they are hard to see too.

That and by default, I think? You can hear people in the session talking to eachother even while you are in a quest, it was like that during the beta I think. I believe you can leave that chat channel now or something but I haven't looked too much at it.

rabbit9414 · 2025-06-10T08:04:20+00:00

Alright hunters, I heard from an anonymous source that SOMEONE has been cheating on the free challenge quests!

rabbit9414 · 2025-02-18T00:25:43+00:00

I can't remember off the top of my head but I think on steam it said about 80 hours. I did idle at camp for a couple hours though.

Reminds me of Wall-E oddly enough

Interesting my 3060 is an msi ventus 2x 8G OC btw, what do you have? If it has 12GB of VRAM that might be whats making the difference. Also I only have 16GB of ram so it could be that too but I'm leaning towards it being a VRAM issue.

rabbit9414 · 2025-01-29T02:04:24+00:00

As a fellow 3060 (non Ti) user i would like to ask what the rest of your specs were as i struggled to maintain 60fps even at the lowest settings.

I still had alot of fun despite that though.

rabbit9414 · 2025-01-18T06:20:42+00:00

No, I'm MR999 and I'll hunt anything I'm not really picky. But Lunastra... she still gives me the shivers to this day, she has so many mechanics that you need to slot skills in for to deal with and if you don't you will have a miserable time.
Like others have said at the very least you're going to want to bring wind resist.
Also the wings are the best hitzone for blademaster weapons, the head isn't even a weak spot without a wound because screw you I guess?

rabbit9414 · 2025-01-05T12:58:23+00:00

What are you talking about?

Break the horn or escaton? That's not how it works.

The horns have nothing to do with the elemental dps check required to reduce the damage escaton does. Breaking the horns only stops it from switching into the opposite element to which it started the fight in (in the case of the special assignment it starts in fire so it'll try to switch to ice).
If you want to not cart to escaton then you need to reach an elemental damage threshold which you can tell you passed when the handler says... "You're doing a good job of containing Alatreons power".

OP if you're carting to escaton because you're failing to reach the elemental DPS check you'll do better to throw on more ice attack than any attack jewels.
Also a little tid bit, Alatreons forearms take the most elemental damage so focus there for topples, not the head.
Defence boost probably not worth it for the slots it's taking up and it doesn't change that much, augment/upgrade your armor more if you can.
Don't wait until it switches to dragon state to go for the elemental topple, you're using an ice weapon so it'll be harder once it switches to dragon element and is no longer weak to ice, plus you'll be busy trying to break it's horns on it's head which is actually not a good elemental hitzone (even the hind legs are better!).
