the fact i only watched the other one about a week ago means that i didnt have much long to wait before i got to see another, will watch soon.... edit: blackveil is the worst even with your weapon, counting this as a win playthrough (worst fight in the game.. second to at namielle... third to ancient leshen)
Ancient leshen wasn’t that bad at least compared to normal leshen because you could actually call backup and at least ancient leshen isnt FUCKING ALATREON
@@VoxTek426 how does one find ancient leshen better than alatreon when it has a one shot move on endgame gears, stops you from moving for 90% of the fight and swarms you with jagras while having nearly as much health as fatalis and not standing still for one second.
@@VoxTek426 unfortuanetly trying to solo either one does end up making ancient leshen a lot harder since it aint exactly made for solo anyways, it also has more health than fatalis or something, maybe a bit less i forgot
Challenge idea: MHWI but you cannot upgrade anything. E.g. you can craft any weapon outright, such as deviljho or bone or iron weapons etc from the smithy and armoury. However, you cannot upgrade any weapons at all, no kinsects, no weapon upgrades, nada. Armour you can't use armour spheres to upgrade their defense. This also includes augments, has to be base weapons and armour with tho upgrades at all!
@@alexberube5269 and how would he have survived without upgrading his armor? Because he certainly wasn’t using base stat armor. No augments messes with a number of the strats in this and the last video. But even without mentioning the problem of killing them (which, even if it goes exactly how this went, would fail because of black veil) you would first have to survive. And surviving with base stat armor is pretty much just doing hitless for a lot of the game. Which is possible, until you factor in that you would be doing no damage.
I love the fact that my first experience with the Barioth in Monster Hunter Tri was almost the exact same as yours was. Multiple triple carts into finally beating him with 7 seconds left on the clock😂
I just found this channel. You deserve more subs. Your videos are awesome and the information + memes inside the videos like these are just the perfect balance.
Challenge idea off the top of my head: Roll a new weapon for every main mission - You might get to try new playstyles and it should be a big run that you could split into parts with a ton of potential for usually easy challenges becoming hard and usually hard challenges becoming easy! It's also a very streamable run, if you ever decide to go that route, due to possible required farming!
Are you going to do the title update monsters up to fatalis? (excluding alatreon, because that will obviously be impossible due to certain attack) Also are you going to do the same challenge on rise? (up to primordial Malzeno) (I believe that the palamutes add a certain variety) (and yes I count free title update monsters as part of the progression... which means final boss of high rank/base game is crimson glow valstrax)
Im done with this challenge run. I plan to stick to world for run ideas for the simple fact that I enjoy world more than rise always happy to take new challenge run ideas!!
@@mrmechpunch4653 that's not a terrible idea, though I'm not sure how much strategy diversity there isn't something like that so I don't know how good of a video could make. I'll think about it
@Bison-Storytime Lemon from The Backlogs did a kinsect only run for base world and, yeah there wasn't much variety you can really do. But I personally would like to see your take on it. If for no other reason than to have more content from you. This and the Base World version were the first videos of yours I've watched and so far I'm loving your content!
Fun fact I learned not long ago is that paw swapping some items with tribes will allow them to use said items from time to time, so you could actually make it a tad easier for yourself 😅 The items are: Lifepowder Herbal Powder Hardshell Powder Demon Powder Pitfall Trap Shock Trap Large Barrel Bombs
Brooooo you forgot pawswap, would've been so helpful With pawswap you can equip tailraiders with demon powder, traps, barrel bombs and even healing items
I mean I used pawswap all the time just to boost the unity level and their HP. Do they actually use the items I give them??? I had no idea that's really cool!!
@@Bison-Storytime Ye, it's a very limited list of items: Lifepowder, Herbal Powder, Hardshell Powder, Demon Powder, Pitfall Trap, Shock Trap and Large Barrel Bombs You only need to give one of each
@@Molisa682 I def gave them a few life powders and come to think of it they did totally actually use life powder occasionally. Neat!! This is new to me
I absolutely respect you both only because of this challenge but because of that shot at dhar man 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: 13:22 this line hit so fucking hard in ac6 i cant stress enough how goated rusty is
Do you also play monster hunter rise? Because there I tried the "No partbreaking" Challenge but i couldnt get past apex arzuros, it was a lot of fun though, but his skinny arms break so easily
@@zacharyisaacs4312 it's a song from the Gravity Rush soundtrack. Don't remember the whole title, but it starts with Douse Should be enough to auto complete on UA-cam search
I'm late to the party, but here is the idea: Beat base game and dlc with only rathalos or rathian gear (variations included) Until you get one piece of equipment or weapon, you can't use armor or weapons
To cycle the farm, Are Event Quests off limits? Theres a 1Star Master Rank Event to deliver Iceblooms and with Botanist skills you can do this in seconds from the central camp. M★1 FLORA FROSTBITE
You can trade guild cards and get a level 50 palico with a meowlotov from someone online. Technically no co-op, because you don't even need to play with the person - just join their lobby once. 2 Meowcanoes should be enough to down Blackveil Vaal hazak.
@@Bison-Storytimeon that note is there any reason why you can’t level your own palico to max? I haven’t actually tried iceborne so I don’t know the mechanics but would that be an option?
I saw another MH Challenge Run where the person beat the game without being seen / combat being acknowledged, buuuut… they didn’t beat the icey DLC, I bet you could make 2 videos out of it 😄
for the black vail did you try to give the native cats items like demon and armor powder? they will use them mid hunt also they can use traps and lifepowder but vail cant be traped and giving them lifepoder meens les chance the have to use the demon powder if you give it to them edit also i think a mod to see the monsters hp and or a mod to let the cats get the db would be nice for a run like this add in a mod for the cat to be more agressive and i think a lot of thies would be faster but you did say no mods and mods make the game more fun in most cassis assuming the 2nd 3rd mods exist at least
@@christophersmith9074 modding was very explicitly against the rules, so those are no go's. I found out from another comment about giving the cats bombs and powders, but after experiencing everything I did I'm 100% confident it still wouldn't have been enough
@@Bison-Storytime for the mods I ment for future runs were the dps is not noticeable like the cats individual hits and I read one of the comments that had that as well may have been after I posted because I did not know you could give them bombs lol
@@christophersmith9074 I don't use any mods at all in any of my runs... Mostly because I'm too lazy to learn how and don't wanna go through the required effort to change that

Monster Hunter Rise but no direct hunter damage. Can use installations obviously since Rampages would be literally impossible without them. Have fun. (Tutorial Quests notwithstanding.)
I used a master rank safi jiva heavy bowgun, which was heavily upgraded, with normal ammo 1 against high rank barons. Took longer than expected to defeat them.
I feel at this point I couldn't progress mathematically much further without bombs, and past that there would be no new strategy variety or anything to talk about. at most it would be a 5 minute compilation of me killing stuff and that sounds boring
the difference is one is part of your character and the other is taking advantage of map hazards that's like saying "if hammers are not allowed than neither should falling boulders, because they can both be giant slabs of rock"
That's JUST as much of a rule break as using bombs, one of my rules at the beginning of the run was no mods Also, the time limit is a natural part of the game that adds a complex issue for me to deal with. If there was no time limit, ANY challenge run could be possible. But that's not really the point
@@M01st_Nu6g3t I mean that hitbox wassnt from the headslam, that was from an after-explosion of rock from the quicksand Whenever shara does a physical attack that connects with it's quicksand pools, the quicksand has a delayed explosion, it's one of the big fight mechanics
@@M01st_Nu6g3t it's always been a thing lol, and now that you know that and are aware, perhaps the flight won't be so bad on repeat attempts 😂 Shara is actually my favorite "boss" monsters in the series
@@Bison-Storytime if I can even ever get there again, lost my save and now every time I start playing the game again it just almost immediately tanks my mood.
Idea of challenge run pretty simple but not as simple as well can think : Beat MHW(I) without using endurance AT ALL like ANY (so obviusly no hammer or bow or kinsectglaive)
Lol the run was invalid because you weren't blindfolded your eyes are a weapon lol okay but being serious the run is not invalidated by you accidentally hitting the monster if you're hunting horn You're fine
