    People say AT Jeeves is harder but I have a difficult time believing that.

    Never got the chance to do it since I was just ramming my head into a nerg brick wall the entire event but will try it next time.

    let's schedule a night this week and try to help you bang them out. anybody else want in?
    I'd be up for that. Only need two more tickets.

    what day works this week? mon/tues/wed?
    I'm pretty much good to go any day after 7PM EST.

    I'll try to jump in to the Zenny arcade group tonight, to get a group against AT Nerg.

    This is what I have been running solo for AT Nerg

    In a group setting about the only change I would make is dropping fortify for minds eye, so that I could keep poking away even when he is covered in black spikes. The bounces arent so bad when solo but with the extra dmg he gets in a group setting, that would immediately put me in yikes territory.

    I got my last ticket by running CC HBG when puggin it, so I'll bring that. Stringing out nergi with paras/KOs/sleeps really helps a lot.

    Will be on tonight.

    The fact that I still need two more tickets before the event is over this week is going to haunt the hell out of me when I'm not playing. Oof.

    Still so much better in a group though. I can get all the way to the final phase on my own but the stress level is through the roof and I think I might develop a tumor if I get him down to like 10% health again only to cart at the last minute.

    Thanks for the hunts, guys.

    Hell of a time for my supply of nourishing extract to run out. Suppose this is my punishment for ignoring tailriders.

    You need every bit of mega armorskin you can get against AT Nerg. Got Val's arch set fully upgraded with health decos and he still hits like a truck.

    guys do you remember the shieldspire?

    kind of okay here

  • ElendilElendil Registered User regular
    my fairly relatively smooth runs are 30 minutes long

    i could maybe trim the times down by being a little less conservative, not taking a breather between zones, and refining the rock drop but yowza that's a long fight either way

    i just remembered the assassin's hood exists so i'm gonna see if i can maybe squeeze some more of the rock drops

    dawn of the last day, so here's a strategy that might work if you're still struggling with nergi but good with LBG, using Rapid Normal 2 and sleep ammo (+shieldspire palico). If you don't have the LBG in the video, subbing in something like Karma or Styx should work.

    Build from the video

    Iceborne's a few months away anywho, plus the summer festival should be before it so Nergi will be back then at the latest.

    yeah i'm probably only getting five tickets, so i'll have to jump back on next festival to get the other 2 and maybe try for that last witcher layered

    that one's a pain tho

  • AretèAretè infiltrating neo zeed compoundRegistered User regular
    I gotta check the amount of tickets I got from my one kill, but there are only one or two pieces I really wanted anyhow. Kinda a bummer that the flagship baddie got such a ho hum set.

    That said when he comes back during summer festival I will give him another what for.

  • ElendilElendil Registered User regular
    i wish the chest piece was the really good one. lots of competition in legs and hands, not so much in the chest or waist.

    fwiw, chest is the new meta for glutton builds and waist is a sidegrade for GS builds now (either zorah Y waist or that).

    drachen is too damn good to give up

    Hmm..closest thing I have to that LBG is the Nergal Spitter.

    Will give it a shot. I forget who it was but there was somebody using that strategy two nights ago and they were doing some serious damage with it.

    use styx for the two sleep pillar drops, then change weapons. I did try styx rapid fire thunder, but it definitely doesn't get the same damage normal 2 does

    recently got back into the PC version of the game after KT burnout and finally beat behemoth in a PuG yesterday. The fight is so different when you actually have a dedicated person holding aggro. Also, I died to ecliptic meteor a couple of times thinking that i was safe behind a boulder which made me finally bind jump emote to my controls. Fun times!

    time to burnout on the next KT release!

    Pretty sure you're going to need more than one run.

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    Tried the LBG strat, Nerg just ended up exposing my balls.

    Think I'm going to go in with LBG, do the sleep boulder thing and then switch to hammer and slope em to death.

    fwiw hammer isn't as godlike on AT nerg as regular nerg

    he doesn't start out in slopetown, black spikes eat up a lot of your damage output, and getting in front of him to knock him on the noggin is uh

    a little trickier now

    that said, it's still not terrible and imagining myself attempting to use a switch axe on him is lol
