I had just finished with my Fatalis set and all I had left was a single fucking gem that I just decided to sleep on for the clest print.

behold the next day I’m all of a sudden with fucking nothing but the waist armor and in a fit of rage.

When it comes to file fishing for fixes I’m literally useless so when you tell me go to 582010\remote to make a slot00 file idk what I’m doing

So please if I can fish my previous local save out of a bin somewhere tell me HOW because I KNOW I SAVED BEFORE QUITTING.

Feels like it's been forever since he came out. Easily my favorite hunt in the game it's not even close. Here's to 2032 when i get him to 9999 lol.

For those wondering, my main weapon for it is DB, and I play on Xbox. Though I have killed it with every weapon multiple times.

I've done armorless, low rank weapon, clutch claw only, solo 2p scaling, solo 4p scaling, heroics and dragon element only to name a few challenges/meme runs i've done on it. I've speedran it quite a bit as well. Best time is 5:47 solo freestyle (not a fan of TAwiki rules personally).

I love this silly little flying squirrel so much ❤️

Does anyone here experience this same issue? I tried everything including restarting my game, play through local file instead of cloud, but it not working, and I'm stuck with the past save file progress.. I'm a bit upset that I lose my good armours and weapon., because of this issue,. in MHW,.

Any tips for alatreon guys? I am a lance main and i am currently trying to get guard 5(ironside charm 5). I have rn a raging brachy+ teostra set and i have frostfang barioth ice weapon, any tips before trying to take on alatreon?

Haven't seen anyone else post this but I thought it was slightly funny.

Apologies for the poor quality

I did it. I beat Alatreon solo in 3 minutes with sword and shield, no heroics.

Long text below:

When my friends got me into Monster Hunter through World, I wasn't the most dedicated. Going throuch the story was like pulling teeth. Hell, I think it took over a year for me to beat just the main story up to Shara Ishvalda. Back then, I didn't really GET Monster Hunter. There's a lot of things I had to learn like skills, moves, mechanics; most of it was just me floundering through the game, mashing buttons and getting carried like a sack of potatoes by my friends. Strangely enough, I never went on public servers, since I didn't want to get absolutely dogwalked in front of three other guys by whatever monster we're fighting.

One of my first walls was Furious Rajang. I remember somehow managing to time out on him, not realizing I went into the fight with negative thunder resistance so every hit took like 70%+ of my HP. My friends took over two days to just beat him, and they bet I couldn't beat him solo cartless. That's the point where I actively started to learn how to use my weapon and pick the right armor for the occasions, and also learn the fight. It was hard, but I eventually beat him with no carts.

Then came Alatreon, the Blazing Black Dragon.

I cannot tell you just how brutal the ass beating I received was. Alatreon came for me with a vengeance. Let alone Escaton Judgement, I wasn't even surviving him for the first seven minutes when it started. He was sending me back to camp relentlessly. I remember back in April, I just started fighting him and he was carting me relentlessly. In hindsight, sending a guy with unupgraded rarity 11 armor at master rank 58 to solo one of the final title update monsters was not exactly a good idea. But I digress.

It took me over a week of attempts to beat him. I watched so many speedruns and guides on him it's crazy. In fact, I went from not knowing what perfect rush even is to getting Alatreon's timing down for I-frames and counter openings. And I finally beat him with one cart remaining at 27 minutes. I think that was the point when I started to understand why so many people loved the series. It was difficult, but incredibly rewarding.

After that, I thought I was done for good. I kinda did forget about Fatalis, but I was able to finally rest. At that point, I thought I can beat him faster, and I ended up trying a few more times, but gear was a big limit. Then, I remembered public servers and joined them, thinking I might be able to get some help with grinding for better gear. That's when I started playing online more and more, and I started to recognize a few names. They helped me to upgrade my gear, and I cannot thank them enough for it. I liked the sense of community between players, whether they're completely new to the game or veteran MR999 players.

Slowly, I started to learn more about the game too. I beat Arch-Tempered Velkhana and then Fatalis on my own and eventually started joining public quests for them, slowly learning more and more mechanics and intricacies for the endgame fights. After I grew familiar with the fights, I ended up paying the favor forward to newer players. Hell, most of the time I'm on MHWorld, I'm usually helping out other players with quests, investigatons or guiding lands. Before I knew it, I had fallen in love with this game.

And it got me thinking: can I beat Alatreon even faster with fully upgraded gear? I didn't have to get speedrun times, but just fast enough where it feels like I've improved. Then, I thought I could aim for a pre-escaton Alatreon. I didn't think it was possible with my skills then, but I tried, and with every escaton judgement I ate to the face, I slowly noticed more and more opportunities for punishes.

It finally happened: I beat Alatreon just under 5 minutes before he could use escaton judgement. I thought I was done after getting a pre-escaton run at just under 5 minutes, but I ended up fighting him out of habit a few more times. To my surprise, I ended up getting a sub 4 Alatreon. Then I started wondering if I can genuinely break the 3 minute barrier like a few speedrunners were able to do. Just like the lead up to my first Alatreon victor, I started studying Alatreon speedruns, but to much greater detail and reviewed my own runs too. At least, the ones I remembered to record.

It took two more months of grinding, but I was finally able to achieve a sub 3 Alatreon. It may sound silly, but I was just as excited for it compared to my first ever victories against Alatreon and Fatalis.

I think ultimately, Monster Hunter World is an incredible game. It's incredibly challenging and sometimes even unforgiving, but it always gives you ways of overcoming the obstacle. With every victory, you can see yourself improving more and more. The welcoming and patient community were incredible, too. It feels like people genuinely want others to enjoy the spirit of Monster Hunter's gameplay loop and it's always great to see a few names you recognize on the servers.

If there's anything I'd like to say, it's that we ought to have confidence in ourselves. That's how we reach our seemingly impossible dreams. It's like climbing a mountain. We'll inevitably run into countless obstacles and trip up on them. But we can be proud of how far we've come when we look back, and every once in a while, help someone along too so they can see the beautiful view near the summit. Who knows, maybe we'll end up surprising ourselves with what we can accomplish.

Also shoutout to u/KatemisLilith for dropping Alatreon tips and tricks in some of the most obscure threads I ended up coming across. That shit is gas never stop cooking with gs 🔥✍️

This is my First time playing icerbone,and i need people to help me with safi'jiiva(i play on PlayStation)

only did it thanks to fortify, cone baiting, and my main weapon being greatsword, i did slot 2 evade window gem so i can have an easier time to dodge the ground aoe

now that i beat fatalis i pretty much completed the game ...or not i actually still need to beat alatreon, i skip alatreon because i dont have elemental armor set but now that i have fatalis weapon i might try to brute force alatreon with it

I made a post yesterday frustrated because i was losing to the time, couldn't beat him under 30 minutes.

I was being dumb. Wasn't using the ballistas properly and also not wallbanging him

Also, i still think this fight is poorly balanced for the lance

I switched weapon, used the Alatreon Switch axe, (spammed the special attack a few times, don't judge me for it please) but aside from that, i have learned the attacks, the openings and all, and now i can say i know the fight!

I will put health regen augment in other weapons and i will kerp soloing him with them just to to take out the anger he caused me in all this time

I said yesterday in the comments that i had given up, but i woke up inspired today.

In the end, i had to listen to that woman, "use the ballistas and cannons!!"

Why didn't i do it before 😭

Also, the run took around 23-24 minutes.

I’m going through base game endgame stuff before starting Iceborne, and want to add HH to my rotation of SnS and CB. All of the weapons melody lists are a lot to take in on top of armor skills and weapon stats tho. Are there any High Rank weapon trees that are notable and worth going after for different scenarios (like vs flying, quick, slow monsters or specific monsters)?

I have a 68 hour save, my first save. Today it randomly corrupted after I beat Velkhana with my friend and logged off. I tried downloading my save off of the Steam Cloud and the steam cloud version is also corrupted, I can't even attempt to download the save it immediately 404's me. Fortunately I did have the foresight to make a backup, but it's from when I had 40ish hours and before Iceborne. It also crashes the game when I attempt to import it, as the save file has no Iceborne data.

Is there ANY way to catch up to where I was? I've been having a lot of fun but I'm not trying to do the entire game over again, especially now that I have less free time. I'm open to modding or anything like that if there's no way to recover my save.

(I apologize if my english is weird at times, or if my format is awful, i post rarely, from my phone, and while i take pride in my english it still isn't my native language)

(Also apologize for long text)

Context: I'm playing mhw with a friend, he is using hammer (specifically anjanath hammer, he refuses to switch) and I am playing switch axe.

We are right now in repelling velkhana (a tale of fire and ice iirc) so i have access to any weapons craftable up till then

Now the questions:

1 should I awake my jagras or barroth weapons?

Up until now i have been using an awakened 3 jagras, but I wonder if the extra sleep is that worth it or not. (Do note that we don't care much about meta builds, but I do wonder what can make our hunts just a little easier sometimes, more so against agile monsters (we hated fighting tigrex and barioth)

2 what other weapons should i consider for status, elemental or raw?

While i have tried to make one of each Swaxe, i still font really know which are better over each other for each occasion. (I do like playing status a lot, so any armors for MR status would also be appreciated)

3 How can i improve?

I know this question is hard to answer without seeing me play, but in general i try to stay in axe while trying to sever a tail, mostly using the hard swings into wild overhead and repeat, sometimes using the hard swing switch to sword, where i use the heavy combo until charged, and then the light combo (with some heavy double slash mixed in) until i run out. (I try to ZSD before i run out). I also try to mount the monster when possible.

4 is RAW Swaxe really that superior to elemental or status?

Outside of a meta perspective i mean, i don't know if we'll play past the iceborne story instead of jumping to rise or wilds.

5 any tips for hunting fast monsters?

While i can handle otorgaron my friend cant, and we both really struggles with tigrex and barioth (though we did fine with nargacuga, but idk if thats considered a fast monster)

I thank you all for your time even if you dont answer.

all my 10 times Farewell to Zinogre runs went to waste

Uploaded my fight against Teostra on my.

SOGoneGaming

I love the design, love the arena, the song, etc.

I have learned all his attacks, i can dodge pretty much every one of his attacks without difficulty but i don't have enough damage to beat him before the time runs out.

This is the only reason i did not solo'd him yet.

Which makes me sad. Because 30 minutes is too low, you need to have an stupidly optimized build to beat him under 30 minutes

If it was only that, then sure i could make one optimized build

But what the fuck does this fight have against my lance? I swear this mf stunlocked into that triple fireball thing a lot of times. When it's not that, he decides to change the phase at the EDGE of the arena and i need to run to that lever and all, but the lance takes years to sheathe and i can't put that quick sheathe thing because that would take away other useful decos. I am frustrated.

I swear only if this fight had the normal 50 minutes it would be a lot more fun than this tight dps run, this is not fun

What's your favourite combo to pull off that might be considered non-standard?

I'm a fan of the charged sword + overcharged phials combo of the charge blade. I learnt it initially to fight Alatreon because it outputs a ridiculous amount of elemental damage in a short time, and I get to spam buttons real fast.

I know not everyone might agree with this but as someone who went from greatsword to SnS this stupid dragon has to be built to despise any weapon with a short range. I've pretty much split my playtime half and half with the two weapons and I can absolutely pummel him with my greatsw build while with SnS I feel like a victim to an obnoxious gate because you literally can't get near kushala unless you are directly on it's chin, even then if you scooch too close under it's chin it'll still throw you back.

I know everyone might not have the same issue but I don't wanna completely swap my weapon for a random SOS I respond too just because kushala's metal ass is in my way.

Edit: I appreciate all the advice and it's really good to see that people have the same issue with him. When I first made this post I was pretty much fresh out of helping with a SOS that spawned me on Kushala rather than at the camp so I couldn't swap to my light break GS without a far caster on. I'll definitely be certain to use some of the recommendations for Kushala, and probably farm some of his gear so I can help lower HR players rock him.

First expedition to Coral highlands , need to find Tzitzi-Ya-Ku and find a place for a camp .

Problem appears at the camp , i approach it , everything plays like it needs to , untill i finnaly enter the cave , the handler says its dialouge about it being a good place for camp and it stops there , it doesnt trigger it to check , it doesnt say return and build the camp at Resource Center like it should be .

What i've tried , loading backups and replaying mission , trying without any mods , restarting the game , checking game files in steam , lowering fps , finding the camp before finding Tzitzi-Ya-Ku , playing an online mission , entering and re-entering the cave multiple times, entering while in fight mode , running around in the cave everywhere .

So pretty much this , it seems that it sees that i enter , because it play the dialouge , and then fails to trigger the next steps. Resource Centre is locked as well , it unlocks right after i find the camp.

I really dont want to replay everything on a new character , maybe there is way to trigger it somehow ?
