It's all about positioning. You're probably not bad with the hammer, you just have to read where the monster's parts end up. The next time you play, watch when a monster does an attack, then when it positions itself right after/during an attack. A good monster to practice on is Glavenus, when it does its tail slam attack, position yourself half way between the tip of its tail to the body, right after it repositions, its head will be presented for a perfect head shot. This can be used on every monster, you just need to know to watch. This is important for everyone, but it changes who are the good Hammer and Greatsword players and who are the bad.
@@Yarsig thank you for the tip. Coming into the game as a Souls player and have been exclusively using LS, I find attacking certain body parts with heavy weapons rather hard since body parts doesnt matter much in Souls, and LS also kinda negates the importance of positioning.
It’s an excellent fight. Between the two, I would say Nergigante was the tougher arch; the speed at which it did that slam kept you on your toes, whereas Velkhana makes so many ledges that air attacks keep hitting it easily.
i dont hunt in the elder's recess enough to use hammer for this fight, too many spots of hill=no slide unless im going up it(???) and most of the times i get hit are cause of that bs XD
My wife always gave me crap about that hahah. I tell her, maybe he is flattening the impact surface so it is no longer rounded? You wouldn't want your blows to deflect. And she always asks, then why is he rubbing the stone on the handle? =_= I switched to the guild axe hammer just to stop hearing that everytime I play with it haha
My only disappointment is the sudden lack of variation in armor sets with Fatalis now in the mix, but what can you say? There is a set that is clearly the best
1 Slugger point...is that just cause u had room or because 1 point actually does something beneficial? Also, didn't expect to see Focus on there but as a fellow hammer bro I have noticed that AT Velkhana moves its head really fast and thought Focus might actually be worth it
Have you tried using the new gamma set to put frostcraft on hammer? I tried it at a friend's suggestion and the jump in attack power is very large. How often frostcraft stays active definitely depends on your attack frequency but even without frostcraft your attack power is almost the same as the current fatalis set.
nah its not, u dont have agitator secret and not as many slots for the optimal dmg decos. theres no way frostcraft gives u back the damage. Also when u see him play he does not really sheath his hammer so he wont get frostcraft back which also makes his damage output smaller. Dont get me wrong the gamma set looks dope for crit draw or players with that playstyle but it just wont give u the damage that fatalis set gives u
You play sliding hammer in every hunt you do till your good at it lol. Time spent doing something in this game makes you better at it. Learn the quing animation for when you start sliding you can even slide down certain angles if you run around with charge on hammer you will find them.
@@weebutrash8733 I calmly disagree. Understanding the Fight is certainly the Core Part, but some Weapons have just more Options, better interactions, small Characteristics who come in Play perfectly. Ig can jump over basicly everything and can evade out of his Attacks easily to avoid the falling Ice. And its not relying on Stamina to do Stuff. Lance as an example has Problems closing distance whit the beam clocking it further away and the Walls standing in the Way.

Always happy to see a hammer run from you Canta
If you had to pick a weapon to main what will it be?
I've gotta admit, I had to watch the video a couple times bc I got lost in the music. Idk what it was but I was vibing
I will always appreciate you showing the decorations on each armor piece as opposed to mashing through it and us playing detective to figure it out
Love the background music, because it looked like you were dancing a ballet with that hammer
This music fits so perfectly wow. Amazing as always Canta much love ❤
Canta bonk icy dragon, me watch, me happy.
Hunters from hammer tribe always fun to watch bonk monster
Apes together, strong
Man, I didn't have a problem with AT Velk but this is _still_ satisfying as hell. Watching hammer players is always a bliss.
I love it how u handle the hammer. I play only Hammer and I'm feel like noob after watch this. Thanks for this amazing show.

You gotta be kidding me, that was sick as fuck
whalecum to iceborne
imho this has to be your more satisfying fight ive ever witnessed.
Great work Canta^^ watching your runs made my runs way cleaner. Thanks.^^
Seeing you beat each monster no problem in less amount of time makes me realize just how shit I am at this game.
I absolutely adore the music choice
Your gameplay amaze me!!
AT Velkhana and the airborne skill are a perfect match.
It’s an excellent fight. Between the two, I would say Nergigante was the tougher arch; the speed at which it did that slam kept you on your toes, whereas Velkhana makes so many ledges that air attacks keep hitting it easily.
Big bang, bigger bang, biggest bang.
wow such beautiful play!
This is true solo play not even using a palico. I’m sure it speeds it up not using a palico so Velkhana stays on you the entire time, well done
I'd like to think whenever a speedrunner puts piano music on we're about to see some real clean gameplay
Honestly I can't wait for rise to come out so we can see canta speedrun monsters there too
i dont hunt in the elder's recess enough to use hammer for this fight, too many spots of hill=no slide unless im going up it(???) and most of the times i get hit are cause of that bs XD
Poetry in motion.
I wish I had these decorations
Holy shit that was beautiful
very well done
I like how you synced the roar with the music.
Sensational 🌝
Monster hunter a game where u sharpen a hammer to do blunt damage
My wife always gave me crap about that hahah. I tell her, maybe he is flattening the impact surface so it is no longer rounded? You wouldn't want your blows to deflect. And she always asks, then why is he rubbing the stone on the handle? =_=
I switched to the guild axe hammer just to stop hearing that everytime I play with it haha
@@paulfarr2795 XD
Cold u share ir graphical settings your game looks só amazing and smooth
Maxed out settings with volumetric fog turned off
@@CantaPerMe is 1080p or 4k?
so what I’ve gathered from watching this is, hehe hammer go brrrr
my solo time as casual player was 18 min with a extreme defensive set
Aaaaa yes, hammer go bonk bonk
You should show layered armor too, just a suggestion
My only disappointment is the sudden lack of variation in armor sets with Fatalis now in the mix, but what can you say? There is a set that is clearly the best
I feel you. Happened in GU too. Everyone is wearing Atahl-Ka armor and using her weapons.
1 Slugger point...is that just cause u had room or because 1 point actually does something beneficial?
Also, didn't expect to see Focus on there but as a fellow hammer bro I have noticed that AT Velkhana moves its head really fast and thought Focus might actually be worth it
Had the spare slots tho really, slugger doesn't do much in this fight imo, it just frontloads your KOs a little at best.
@@CantaPerMe Do you prefer fighting AT velk over regular?
What music is this? It reminds of music from Symphony of the Night.
It's from Kantai Collection

whats the trick for getting jumps from such tiny slides? you getting jumps from them so flawlessly
The ice patches left behind by Velkhana's attacks let you slide with hammer while charging it
I want courage hammer back in the next game. Sunbreak spoiled me.
So is peak performance 3 superior to coalescence 3 in this fight and did u eat for felyne slugger?
7:15 - best part in my opinion
How do you practice sliding in the elders recess?
You play sliding hammer in every hunt you do till your good at it lol. Time spent doing something in this game makes you better at it. Learn the quing animation for when you start sliding you can even slide down certain angles if you run around with charge on hammer you will find them.
@@Donky_Kongs_Baby thanks
didnt know you could slide while not losing hammer charge
Damn those damage numbers. Tried this with a pre-Fatalis set and the damage aint anywhere near this high lol
cantaTriumph
Is hammer best weapon for this
If you know how to use it, yes. If you aren’t good with placement and timing, absolutely not.
Basicly Hammer goes Bonk.
Well, dont change what Works.
Probably best Weapon for Velkhana after Ig.
Not really, any weapon works great on this fight if you learn it

I'd be lucky to beat the normal one in twice that time... lol.
Bruh why does this shot head spam all his ice moves against me but doesnt when you fight him lol
Canta give us a voice reveal.
Great. So if I don't have reflexes like a lab rat on amphetamine the timer is gonna run out.
No way I'll ever beat this bottomless pit of hit points.
Now I see what people mean when they say you have a good taste for art.
Someone did their mfin homework, positioning was nearly perfect. Didn't even use a mantle, crazy
well
:thuree b
I bet that one person that disliked this video had a hard time defeating this monster/elder dragon 😂
speedruns sind leider für geistig ungesunde menschen
Is hammer best weapon for this
