Garangolm actually is pretty easy. The first time I fought him, yeah I needed to learn what all his attack patterns were, but once I got ‘em down, I barely got hit for the rest of the fight
Blight town and sens fortress are easy. You just need to understand what's going on. In blight town you are invading a home. Act like a home invader. In sens fortress. You just need to reset the mechanism, someone else set in motion before you.
This guy is my favorite monster in Iceborne so far. His fight is just so epic, especially with the cage match final phase. He's a huge step up over his 4 Ultimate incarnation, which I liked, but not as much as the original Brachydios (I still rank the original higher when considering the series overall but in Iceborne I like Raging more).
"Old Mountain Dragon" lol Went back recently to old school MH, but in the form of Frontier, seeing as we were never blessed with it. But a lot of this for sure. lol.
I remember there was a quest to upgrade a mantle that put you against a tempered black diablos and my lord that was the most frustrating fight I've ever had. Never carted to velkhana or raging brachy yet failed this diablos quest twice. It would spam the dig attack non stop, was capable of almost 1 shotting me and would always do a charge every time i got stunned. She's the reason i run stun resistance 3 over divine blessing cuz that actually helps me more lol
"World's super hard, and thats why its fun" Lazy louts wouldn't know hard at all, they're the gitz with an easy time. We FUs gots the better fun and difficulties.
Old mh took actual skill and dedication, especially before the online meta stalking time. I miss those times a lot, I loved grinding this game with my 4 friends (usually some had no time so we were always 2-4)
I beat it in less than three hours recently without a single glitch being used or actually trying. I mean I went and did some random things throughout just beating it and could probably do a <2:30 if I tried.
idk if he upgraded it but bro sticked to a tiny club like, 25 or 30% of the game, between many maybe more useful weapons until he found a bigger club. Peak Dark souls gameplay.
When at the 5:18 mark, when that Ecliptic Meteor attack made you faint despite being THAT far away AND in a relatively protected area made my jaw *DROP.*
