I love this silly little flying squirrel so much ❤️

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 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.

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 🔥✍️

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

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

(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.

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?

My friend has this pc and we want to play mh world but we don't know could he run it at least at 30 stable fps
