Oh my goodness! Raging Brachy took the long route & you still managed to sub 5 him 😲!! I was so happy when 1:16 Helmbreaker connected! The final killing slash was so cool 😎! Amazing run, Yoesol! GG
If you dont mind, i have a couple questions about the clutch claw use I see you and others do: 1. Whats the benefit at the beginning to cluch claw and flinch show 3 times with no knockdown or weakening a part? 2. Multiple times during the fight you clutch claw and immediately dismount. Is this just to get closer to the monster more quickly?
Sure I can answer your questions. So in the beginning I claw the monster 3 times and I do weaken the part. The 3 hits is to immediately enrage the monster to activate agitator asap. I do not do a knockdown because it is against the rules (TA Wiki) of the category the speedrun is in. In TA rules, you cannot use mantles, palicos, traps, bombs, slinger ammo, flinch shots( the slinger knockdown) , endemic life. Etc ( pretty much the only thing that is allowed is fighting the monster with your weapon, healing and buffing) The reason I clutch claw a monster during a “clagger” (stagger that gives you an opportunity to clutch claw) is because it causes the monster to stay in the animation longer to give you time to tenderize. But if you dismount immediately after instead you still get that increased time while also having an opening to do whatever.
Counters in general usually require being targeted/hit in order to operate so yes being solo gives you significantly more opportunities to counter because you are always being targeted.
It’s not bad. Can be intimidating on first encounter. Just bring blast resistance 3 and you’ll be fine. Tenderizing the legs makes it very easy to trip it. Good luck! 👍 And thx for watching.
@@malachiwilson7649 The clutch claw is an exclusive mechanic to the Iceborne expansion. If you don’t own the expansion that might be your problem. I highly suggest you get the expansion asap as it is infinitely better than just the base game. With iceborne you get access to master rank which has way more content than just mhw . All of my fights on my channel are in master rank.
