this recording was done for fun, but also as an attempt at showcasing my personal improvement from my previous run on the same Alatreon (old video: ua-cam.com/video/4k9zdr0MTlU/v-deo.html ) i use a similar load-out in both runs but i wanted to challenge myself to the most bare-minimum loadout i can imagine, so for this recording, i cleared the hunt with only equipment available BEFORE Alatreon AND the exclusion of Arch-Tempered Velkhana, Fatalis, and siege-gear (Safi'jiiva and Kulve Taroth) (i didn't have the luxury of Felyne Safeguard or Insurance, so i went with Moxie--- either way, i didn't cart at all but as a no-brainer---those are of course helpful food buffs) in a way, i also want to prove that this is in-fact possible, and other players don't need to stress over siege-weapon-RNG, or having to tackle Arch-Tempered Velkhana/Fatalis just to clear Alatreon (though it is possible, will upload those runs soon ',:^)... ) i did try to play flashier in this recording, and the time can definitely be shaved off. otherwise, enjoy!
Just soloed this big boi earlier today with my new SnS build. Started new playthrough. LS was easier wit my build but definitely cool trying different weapons with bigger monsters. Also I learned a few things watching this that I didn’t know I could do so thank u
yup, SnS is unironically the most underrated weapon--perfect rush among some deals crazy damage for being such a nimble moveset, there's a reason speedrunners love it hahaha i learned most of my tricks from just experimenting and watching other TA runs of Alatreon, likewise with my Arch-Tempered Velkhana video soon I'll bother myself to record one for Fatalis, as I'm still missing Alatreon's "The Evening Star" for swaxe, and "Dawn of the Death Star" on my hunting horn
Nice run. Just as a tip, at 6:40, when smoking alatreon, when your map border turns purple throw a rock or something at alatreon to force him to land. Also any reason you don't use heavenward flurry to charge your sword even for long openings?
oh I actually didn't know that, I'd often wait out alatreon's whole landing sequence --- I'll definitely try this and rerecord. as for me not using the flurry, its also just a force of habit, though i also find that this string of inputs still builds my amp-gauge far quicker than not and is easier to cancel out of than if i just flurry and get stuck in said animation and recoil, but yeah, i used flurry a lot less for favor of playing very safe here even though i had very clear settings for
I didn't expect to break a thousand views! thanks so much for checking my stuff out -- and while these runs aren't the greatest, they're my hand at trying out speedruns and possibly even getting into TA stuff. i could use some suggestions on content creators to check out for that kind of stuff, as well as recommendations for restricted-builds like this, and or tricks anyone knows of that I haven't tried! Thanks!
yep! just a level 1 health augment too, i do cut it real close whenever i pull off a stunt like that but it's meant to be flashy anyways i just saw someone do it in a run and thought to try myself haha
Would recommend using Criteye Charm to max out Affinity over Agitator which only gives about 10 Affinity and a small increase of Attack but given how Silverlos set bonus works your better stacking as much "active" Affinity possible to get Crits
i picked up World last December 2023 as my first monhun game, as of current i have 1,300 hours, 900 of which are for my swaxe-only solo playthrough, and the other 400 hours for a more recent hunting-horn-only solo playthrough

Was that a health augment vs. Escaton Judgement when you clutch clawed onto Alatreon’s head? It was pretty cool.

actually makes a lot of sense, forgot that a flat-critical-eye charm even existed, gotta try that next
Nice fight! Congratz =D
thanks so much! i appreciate it
