    gotta break the head twice for guaranteed evil eye drop
    i'm focusing on doing just that and then leaving the quest, not that i have because i suck :D
    apparently you can somewhat consistently bait the ai into doing an attack that leaves the head in a vulnerable position

    you need to do like 20k head damage to get the second head break

    may as well kill him at that point

    Got to third phase Fatalis and had the dragonator ready to fire when he went airborne and did his “cover the entire area” (his 4th time doing that so both the gate and the hut was long toast) flame breath at a bad time ruining my last cart at 29.30... Fuck sake.

    Broke both wings and his head once.

    Had a dream I had a pet Rathalos about the size of a large dog. It tried to eat some sort of rusty metal pipe, started bleeding from the mouth and then I picked it up, started freaking out and running around a hotel asking if there was a doctor.

    Weird, I've never really been a fan of the raths. If I was going to dream of owning a monster, I thought it would be a Kulu. Precious chicken boy. <3

    Personally, I'd want a pet mini-Nargie or a sparkle pony.

    Nargacuga would be neat. Zinogre is my choice because doggo, but... hmm...

    Lagombi maybe? Or just goof bear Arzuros.

    Brachy.

    Got Fatalis to enter phase 2 much faster this time and fired the Dragonator (both spikes hit 2x3300) and wailed on him until he did that weird “get stuck to his chest, he bites and blasts you away thing” he can do in phase 3 and final carted me at 29.00...

    At least my new outfit is on point.

    New Iceborne festival starts tonight, haven't looked too close at what the new tickets to chase are.

    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.

    Razor sharp and 200 stamina is pretty sweet, not sure I even need protective polish anymore.

    But why does Fatalis Dual Skies seemingly suck? Is there a way this is considered good that I cant see? Its got high raw but this is Dual Blades where elemental damage is king in most situations.

    If they didnt have that low dragon elemental damage you could at least run Elementless, alas.

    They're going to be good for monsters with dragon weakness and good raw hitzones... so there's like some edge cases on where they're good & better than alatreon db (uragaan head, ruiner nergie head)

    Alatreon seems outclassed by Kjarr Dragon DBs too, its even got inbuilt Crit Element.

    Just seems odd that the final monster gives a weapon that might be good, in rare edge cases.

    you can run a decent crit ele set with azure age armor, but yeah kjarr+safi is still ahead generally.

    Already more or less retired my Safi set (Azure Age, Silver Rathalos TCE sets too), Fatalis gears amount of deco slots (+Razor Sharp and 200 stamina) feels preferrable to max damage (Divine Protection 5 is nice in particular.), not too fond of that annoying health drain on Safi either.

    In the trailer I saw it looked like she was using them on Rathalos, of all things.

    Although in a quick cut it's hard to tell Rath from Gore, so here's hoping.

    I feel like I'm doing the smart move by stepping back to a rarity 10 effect weapon from a 12 elemental and grinding out the necessary mods (I have 2 resources left to gather) then moving forward

    Not having a life-on-hit augment as a lancer has been difficult, especially since the game requires you take chip damage

    Starting this far behind feels rough. Rise and MH6 are gonna feel better since I'll be growing with the whole community instead of racing to do 2 years worth of content at once

    I think the fire on Mila's blades are supposed to represent Demon mode. I hope.

    I hope there's a part where the monster is completely covering the camera and you just see a low res wireframe version of Mila flopping around uselessly as nobody has any clue wtf is going on for a solid 5 seconds

    Demon mode doesnt look like that at all though, if anything the effect is more visible on the body than on the weapons.

    Yeah but its cheaper to cgi effects on a single polygon than a complex human body so

    This tempered Lunastra event (The cold never bothered me) gives a ton of decos, I got 10 from the last one and 7 of them were tier 4 type.

    Even got one I havent seen before, rarity 12 Trueshot Jewel+ 4 (Special Ammo Boost) and a couple evade+attack gems.

    These fish weapons are even better than I thought would be.

    Dual blades, they flop around on your back and don't even look like they're cutting anything but rather just slapping everything.

    It's glorious.

    Aaaand Rajang's intro quest has killed any more desire for me to play World. I have proceeded in every single avenue in the game except for him and he's an awful, unfun piece of shit.

    One shot with power guard, vitality mantle, guard 5 and guard up and 900 armor and 22 lightning. Fucking bullshit.

    To be fair, events have been known to go beyond the normal size ranges (lol mini uragaan)... but gold crowns are pretty big yes.

    I've been using lance for Rajang. I tend to use the R12 Velk lance, but every now and again I'll bring out my end of line Nightshade paolumu lance (sleep). 5 Guard + Guard Up for the regular attacks, 3 thunder res (I aim for 30+ thunder resist) for his kamehameha, 3 health boost to have enough leeway to not get 1 shot. I do keep a temporal mantle and health booster on me if things start going horribly wrong.

    Also, for that quest in particular, Cooling jewel.

    I still dont have any attack+2 gems besides the one from a log in bonus... If only you could craft them, then I could use my Agitator charm over my Attack charm.

    Made a Shaver (Clutch Claw Boost) gem and use that instead of my Protective Polish gem which I dont really need anymore, I counted hits before I lost white sharpness on Kjarr Dragon DB with Fatalis Razor Sharp - 440’ish hits.

    Edit: I looked through my gems and saw I had a Critical Boost/Constitution gem, I didnt even know you could get Critical Boost on tier 4 gems.

    This is the performance improvement mod. Make sure you remove all mods you had, you will either need to download their updated version, or remove them if they did not get an update.

    Yeah, I was running Special K, iirc, but then I tried starting up MHW a month or two ago, and it wouldn't load, which apparently was something to do with Capcom specifically killing the program if mods/Special K is detected, and the person making Special K quit, iirc.

    But I'll give it a try, even though nexus mods is the devil.

    I finally downed Rajang with the help of a really good IG player.

    And then right after I ended up killing a tempered multiplayer Zinogre (lost connection 2 minutes into the match, ended up just going for it) in half the time.

    Fuck that stupid monkey.
