Wow Chamelos really does not mess around with that cloak in the older games. In Rise you can pretty much still see him at all times, here you can only catch glimpses.
It's a nightmare to hunt him down, the one dragon I didn't want to fight the most, although I had to. I had main tigrex armor set just to track him down by looking at the map
An MHFU channel active in 2020? Count me as a subscriber! I just finished working on my character in Iceborne and as I wait for Fatalis to come I decided to go back to the old world and play MHFU again after 10 years. Good to know that there are still people who appreciate this game. Well done
Thanks! Yeah, a big inspiration to make these was because I didn't like any of the ones that exist. They were either too long winded or too unfocused...... and the music..... not bad music... just...... too much of it I guess lol :P I felt like this game deserved a bit of a modern take on those things, and I know a younger me would've appreciated something like these maybe 😊
Aw man, I never thought that Chameleos' fight would be this much different in Freedum Unite compared to 4U, makes me wonder what Chameleos in Rise will look like. Great video!
Your channel has grown so much! Congratulations ❤❤❤ . Chameleos is one of my favorite monsters even though I have never fought him 💀 never played this game nor have I played mhgen which he was in either but he is still one of my favorite monsters. Thanks for the guides and videos 💙💙💙
Currently been streaming MHP3rd and MHRise on RU-vid a lot, some other stuff on Twitch. I don't really play much other than the stuff I make videos for, I just don't have much time, as funny as that might sound.
Finally... been waiting for this... I moved to the high rank quests a while back ... slayed more than 15-20 nargacugas,10 hr tigrex and countless Kushala daoras ... Even farmed the whole Lao shang set in a single day... but this guy ... I’ve only fought him once... I don’t know why but I feel queasy, every time i decide on fighting him, I either don’t play against him or I abandon the quest halfway, even if I am very close to killing him... I mean... WHY!!!😨😨
@@sml7564 been a while since I played bro... The last time I checked I slayed about 15.. It was hard at first, but it becomes relatively slayable once u see it's movements... P.S: I changed my play style from a longsword to a bow user for this particular elder
It's funny to thinkthat as soon as I saw clips of his attacks from another channel and noped out of that fight and fought lunastra I've defeated both shen gaoren and lao Shan but not chameleos
😄😄 Thanks! I like the music too, I'm kinda particular in the tunes I select to get a particular feeling or mood, if I can I try to match it with what I'm fighting and all that. I'm glad you like my work! Thank you for watching 🙂
Man, I remember this one from when I first played MHFU. I got stuck in Tri and somehow thought it was a good idea to buy MHFU on heavy discount instead. Tigrex took me months, but Chameleos... oh boy. Not sure I ever actually beat this version of it, because my biggest problem in MHFU (besides some of the hitboxes) was losing the monsters always. Even now, replaying it partly thanks to these videos, fighting a Kutku sometimes takes thrice as long because I can't find it. And Chammy here just amplifies that. I think I'll heed the advice and actually use Autotracker. I scoffed at the skill before because I know my monster spawns in 3U and 4U, but it really does help, if only to learn the spawns initially.
@@HeadHunter455 Definitely. Using it now thanks to this video and it's great. On second thought, playing tons of prowler in MHGU should have clued me in on Autotracker. Always seeing monsters with cats is awesome.
Omg I've been playing this game since it's released but until now i haven't been so effective in my hunting. Thanks for the video bro, maybe I'd be successful in defeating this dragon and the others. I'll follow your advice and strategy.
You know what would be annoying? Fighting John Cena as an elder dragon Seriously tho I managed to kill some elder dragons with just a raw bow and coatings but this thing... It annoys me to no end
8:03 haha yes, I always do that to "see" where he's at XD. One time, I spent 20 minutes looking for him. I was a bit frustrated and slashed around randomly, and it hits haha.
I remember fighting this guy the first time. I had to change from Hammer to HH to hit his face as I thought it was the only way. . . Till I tried Gunlance! Using GL shooting and stabbing his sides proved to be BROKEN XD and now he's my second fave Monster in MHFU
I think when you got him downed,you should keep attacking his backleg to give him the trippin hell.Ik his head is the weakest spot but his backleg will actually more effective
Man, i gotta say, i really like your videos, and i'd say they're really good. They're quite enjoyable, and really helpful, especially with these monster guides, which i'd say really covers what you need to know about hunting a monster. The editing in these videos are quite good, and the comedic parts really add more to these videos. You're like a new Mhnoodles. Just so you know, you've got another subscriber. Also i'm wondering, anytime are you gonna cover on the fatty trio? Also and mhp3rd too?
😄😄 Thanks! I think I will cover the Fatalis' yeah, I'll start up on high rank stuff after I'm done with low rank (pretty soon) And then G rank after I'm done with high rank. I might do MHP3rd stuff, but I'm kinda undecided right now. I don't have much experience there as I do with MHFU, but I think it could be cool :) We'll see.
Man I just hunted this thing in MH4U yesterday, and I'm convinced that out of every monster returning from a previous generation in that game the Chameleos got altered the most. The one in this video is like a whole different creature in everything but appearance & base skeleton.
*Shepard!Im glad you here!Those...thing just coming out of the damn wall!Listen,we have to keep pushing forward or we will never get out of here!* - H.E.C.U Hunter - This elder dragon is challenging for melees im not joking,cant peneterate the damn skin. The taill also will knockback you which also annoying,bring lotta poison,food and antidote cause it love to stole consumable items. So to sums it up: -Just use frickin range weapon-
Sword and Shield. Brings all the bombs you can carry. Then makes more. Basically, blow the fucker to kingdom come. My poor Bomber though. That Feline goes through hell for me.
1st: nice vid Hunter and man is it good to watch your vids again. 2nd: so this time is a chameleon huh... Well time to play hide and seek 3rd: 2:27 just pointing it out. I'm liking the music. 4th: 2:33 yeah most of the time specially if he hits you with the def down. 5th 2:40 "has a habit of comboing" just pointing it out dude, for me it feels like almost every monster knows how to combo. 6th: 4:49 (reads the poison part) judging by the previous monsters with poison you're gonna go ahead and get hit by it aren't ya? 7th: 5:05 yep well now go away to another area and then... 8th: 5:15 play the montage! 9th: 5:24 once again ty for doing all those tests for that tad bit of information. 10th: 8:01 (me having my headphones at full blast) seriously... Again?😑 11th: 11:45 specially if he charges right after that than for me that's more than bad. 12th: 14:18 you do realize you just jinxed yourself right? (2 sec later) yep also, that's a lot of damage. 13th: 14:41 chameleon: well hello there. 14th: 19:28 dude... Seriously? 😑 15th: 19:54 yep you definately jinxed yourself again. 16th: 26:54 yep... (While looking back at #15) that happened 17th: 26:59 (looks back at #14) and that... 18th: well once again that was fun, thanks for the guide and vid Hunter. I'll be back for the next video have a nice day/night see you later and happy hunting.
#3: 🙂 #5: In Chameleos' case he will set you up to get hit again, if you get hit multiple times by another monster it's mostly pretty situational I think. Chameleos is more consistent in hitting you as you get up from a previous attack. #9: 😄 Yeah I dunno how accurate it is, but it seems like it to me, from a very short and simple test... so... lol who knows #10: 😉 lol no problem, thanks for watching! 😄 Some of these get kinda long 😅😅 so I appreciate it 🙂
I've been postponing this fight until I heard something in the back of my mind saying "do it pussy no balls" so anyways I grabbed my lao Shan LS and as always I'm over prepared for this
lmao that's great!! Go in with more than you think you'll need, and you'll be less likely to run out of things if it goes horribly wrong. I don't always bring 10 honey and some combo books so I can have 20 mega potions, but it's never a bad idea.
this lizard destroyed me even with HR ceanataur set and a weapon with white sharpness. i thought i wown't bounce but its still the same. and once it hits me with the gas that decreases your stamina i immediately quit. cause i don't like bringing well-done stakes.
Chameleos is much more armored on the; Wings, (thicc) tail, arms and back, except the belly and back legs. This elder dragon is supposed to be easier then the other's like it's always stationary.
Sees the Chameleos. *"My hatred is immeasurable, and my day is ruined."* Honestly, hate the guy. I'm a melee main, and the armor the bastard has pisses me off. And the tail. God, the tail... Major respect for people that hunts this thing with Bow and Dual Blade. You think Congolala was bad? This thing's breath is so disgusting you ends up gasping for air like crazy. As long as you got Large Bomb/Large Bomb+/Smoke Bomb, Invisibility is no worry. Smoke, Sneak, Plant. Then blow the thing to kingdom come.
@@johnlexjapethsison316 some people got a "Bane" of their own. And I'm not exactly the best Hunter around. I use basic stuff like a filthy casual. You got a big sword. You got monsters. Big Sword + Monsters = A Fight I fight everything the same way. Hit, dodge, dodge, sheath, run. Rinse and repeat. Sure, I'd won in a snap with LBG/HBG/Bow. But I'm not that type of person. I stick to things I like. If I had a hard time using that thing against that monster, I find other tactics that works. Therefore, the strategy I mention at the top. I don't do easy. I've done "easy" before, and I ends up as a fucktard. Now, I'm starting over as a new person.
So this is what Chameleos used to be like. Starting in 4U, he lost his stamina-draining breath and defense-decreasing spit, and his theme played for the whole fight.
Yep, they reworked him for mh4u Part of why I like making these videos is that it can be interesting to see how the fights used to work, most monsters get tweaked or even reworked in future games.
nice tips, atleast now i know to not bring my book in this fight. probably use black katana mk.II since it has blue sharpness and also i wear garuga armor with expert and hearing decoration.
Hey, thanks 😄 Good luck! A decent strategy to try is using fire weapons and just focusing on his back legs, that won't ever break his horn, since you'd need a dragon weapon and that strategy just hits his legs, but it's pretty effective and most people probably do that 😅 Thanks for watching!
@@HeadHunter455 beat that guy and manage to cut its tail and horn, no tail drop though. i also beat lunastra in the tower and the volcano ones. now i just need to clear the mini khezu and 2 congalala to go fight the dragon duo.
🙂 Video won't be live until Friday, but you can click on the thing in the video area to get a notification when it does. I like doing this because it gives people a heads up as to when exactly it'll go up, so they can plan around watching it if they want or need to 😊
@@HeadHunter455 tbh it makes sense smoke bombs drop particles into the air which when colliding with an object bounce off and even stick for a few moments like dousing flower onto an invisible man
I think so, I did a very simple test for poison in the swamp, once with no armor and once with whatever I had, and I seemed to take less damage, though it wasn't by a lot so it could be wrong lol
I don't 😭😭 lol they actually reworked his fight in 4th gen to make him way faster, and I think they might've changed him a bit for Rise too? I'm not sure.
So, hey man, i wanted to ask, where do i find thunderbug juice? I know its in the tower after killing some flying bugs but can i find some earlier? I want to make the devil slicer
Don't think there's a way to get them before 5★ gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283 monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/MHFU:_Elder_Quests#LV.E2.98.85.E2.98.85.E2.98.85.E2.98.85.E2.98.85_Quests
@@HeadHunter455 i read that if you exchange some dragonwood to the elder in the snow mountains/jungle theres a chance you might get some. Thought you knew something, thanks anyways
Hey man, do you recommend getting the Black Scythe LS for this fight (720 so same as Devil Slicer, but with 100 Dragon attr)? I’m considering doing this quest soon, thanks!
Ah i remember figthing him with my friends and whenever he steal stuff i always got the bad luck like he stole 2 lifepowders from me in one hunt and after that a FREAKIN MaxPotion
Among all the Elder Dragons I fought (Kushala, Luna, Teo, Kirin) this is the only Elder Dragon that lasted long enough to retreat because most of my attacks using my Dragon element Dual Swords got deflected. Hopefully I get to kill it the next time around.
I beat this guy on the first try ever and thought he was easy. I even cut his tail off. Boy. I underestimated him big time when it came to farming his armor.
I remeber first time i fought chameleos in MH4U, when i was i dual blades main and thought to my self I know let's try to kill him with a switch axe for fun and then I killed him under 15 minutes and still to day I don't know how I did that because I have never used an switch axe before and also he was G-rank. but enough of that great video man you are killing it, literally
Hi headhunter, im currently restarting my journey in mhfu. Can you make a guide how to use bug tree and the shooting net thing at the pier in pokke farm bcs im never really understands it
Yeah once I unlock most/all of the farm things I think I should make a more in depth farm guide talking about trenya and the cave sword and stuff 🙂 I'll try and get around to it.
Ngl, bow and bowguns work extremely well against this fcker.... The only problems would be the distance to fire what shot you have because of the spit attacks
In G rank, you will be cry out loud Chameleos: I'm fcking invisible Chameleos is hard to find and located another area in G rank, it's make me angry, until I find chameleos and slay him use Sword and Shield
@@kamidesu6414 actually not safe for light bowgun user because chemoleos are extremely invincible in g rank, he ramming you without no time, only heavy bowgun with shield attach actually good enough to survive and sword and shield, spear and gunlance actually good but it's make your mobility slower, I recommend you use psychic vision skill +15 which means best detect where chemoleos when you zooming map mode
How do I break its horn? I was only able to cut its tail after slashing at it nonstop(with my bouncing slash technique), so I didn't have time to break its horn before it dies. I was hoping you could show me how but I didn't see its horn breaking at the end of the video even after you slashed at it most of the time. I need its horn to upgrade a blade of mine and now I'm having second thoughts if it's even possible to break its horn with my equipment.
Well, keep in mind 1. you need dragon element to break the horn (I saw your other comment about using Black Scythe, that's fine.) and 2. the tail can only be cut when it's max hp is below 30%, so... if you want both, you could focus mainly on the horn and hit the tail every now and then, but try and break the horn first, and then focus on the tail until it comes off. I don't know how much damage the horn needs before it breaks :/
I got wombo combo'd but I managed. I killed him in the second round. It's pretty hard because of the poison gas. Btw I use the Black Blade(GS) for dragon element and I charge attack his head when he is spitting gas.
Guys two things one who wanna add me on ps4 and join me to fight Fatalis Second I’m stuck on my urgent quest to kill tigrex I use sword and shield and he just won’t die but I die horribly sometimes I even barley get there and I get combo
Two tips 1. Use armor skills that increases your def and/or has auto guard. Use the right buff for the right situation (like using power/armor seeds because demondrug/armorskin doesn't stack with felyne kitchen buffs) 2. Try other weapons. This isn't MHW where you stay loyal on one weapon only and treat it as a religion. There are a bunch of weapons that can suit your playstyle any day. Try training (or watch HeadHunter's weapon guides) and choose the weapon that suits your aggression level. Source: Former SnS user, now a multiclass, switching from hammers, longswords, gun lances, dual blades, and bows
BTW good luck with your fatalis quest! I don't have a ps4 but I've heard the big black dragon is coming back to MHW, but jn the meantime, I'll try to kill him in MHFU nevertheless
Use different strategy if you're the type to stick to one weapon like me. Hit, hit, hit, roll, roll, sheath, run. Fight close to the edge of the area gate. Gives out combo, run away, heal up, then fight back. Have you change your armor set yet? Or upgrade it? That might be your weakness. *BOMBS. Shitton of Bombs.*
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dHgdSmzrtqs.html I fought Tigrex with SNS here, I hope it helps a little. Check the description for a bit of a write up about it.
oof, yeah, Elder Dragons have a lot of health, 20 minutes sounds about right. If you get to 25 minutes and his health is low enough, he should be repelled, you'll get some rewards, then you can fight him again later. His health and broken parts will be the same.
