Okay... am I just extremely unlucky? I've done like 10 runs because I wanted to learn him with cb... and this is what happened in every single one of them, he enrages, at some point goes for his ray, I guard point, element discharge and he does grab. Obviously at that point I'm a sitting duck and grab while enraged is basically a death sentence. I don't understand if that's some sort of input reading or I'm just that unlucky that flash pods are mandatory for me at this point if I want to survive more than 1 minute
You're not unlucky, that's the nature of this match up. Don't forget you're watching a speedrun, not a let's play or a guide! I reset this quest for countless hours to get a run like this, and even this run has two grab attempts. I just got lucky that I wasnt going for an AED in one and Phial damage broke his enrage in the other. If you're dying from being grabbed, then work on getting some more defense from better armor sets (Fatalis) and Health augment for your weapon (Guiding Lands). If you're speedrunning, just keep the resets coming.
Speedrunners go for risky strats or even trade hits to shave off time. Watching these videos for some insight into how to fight a monster is fine, but don't take it as a survival guide.
Need Guard 5 to get low knockback and be able to counter AED some of Rajang's attacks. Artillery does not effect elemental phials, only impact phials! So it's not useful for this hunt Power Prolonger is good for this run, I think @miraboreas uses it and gets a faster time than this run! Focus is good for quality of life, but I don't think it will save you any time if you have to trade damage skills to fit it
Amazing run, a small question please. Is it worth going 4pc fatty 1 alatreon if I want to farm this quest? or better stick to this set and just get HB3?
Definitely 4pc Fatty! The set used in this video is only for speed running where I only care about getting a perfect run so it doesn't matter if I get hit twice in a row and die. For farming, way better to have survivability
This need lot of practice and learning of monsters attack, for playing this weapon for around 350h (ps4+pc) i begin to have good timing for this but need more practice haha
@@forglory8447 if you compare g-rank weapon stats to master rank weapon stats, you will see Master rank weapon having way bigger numbers. This is because world equipment have bloated values, likely to differentiate and show how much weapons deal damage in their attacks (you will see this when comparing the attack values shown on a great sword vs the attack values shown on dual blades).
Thanks! Means a lot to see you here! Your Phial management video taught me a lot. In this very run, part of my opener is getting red phials ready for the first reload! And I still dream about using empty side hops in some cool way.
Hey do you have your armor/kinsect set up anywhere? Id love to see what youre running for this, I cant seem to do this kind of damage and im not sure why lol
Everything is shown starting at 6:15 (all TA videos are required to show at least skills and food skills!) It's important to enrage Alatreon, it takes 20% more damage for just being enraged. Let me know if you have any more questions!
