    On note of AT Val: You can move him out of his miasma by just leading him to a different part of the map. The miasma won't follow, it'll only be an issue if he puts down more (which then you just move again). You can also disperse the miasma with a flame pod.
    He's really not that difficult to fight once you realize you can do this. To be honest he was the easiest out of all the AT monsters IMO.

    • @mainzer45

      Yeah AT vaal was easy. I'd always considered him by far the easiest tempered, and AT vaal showed that it was exactly the same for the AT version. The only danger is when he tries to laser you while you sit in camp, cause it's a one shot now.

      That is pretty much exactly what AT Kushala is. You dont fight the monster, instead it wastes four thousand years flying out of your reach and being immune to flashes because go fuck yourself, you cant use the item specifically for stopping monsters from flying out of you range for extended periods of time to counter a monster that wants to spend the whole fight spamming Tornado and Wind Pressure combos from a place you cant even hit it.

      What's weird for me is that AT Kushala hardly ever flew around. IMO. He was one of the easier AT Elders. Does that make him a Good fight though? No. No it does not. But it wasn't really difficult. More annoying when he'd make a Tornado, land, and hide in it.

  • @AkantoreX
    @AkantoreX  5 ปีที่แล้ว +574

    A few things:
    1. I did not coin the term "Pepega Slam." People have been calling it this way, well before I even thought of making this video.
    2. The fights in MHW are only tolerable, because monsters die so quickly. That's why some AT monsters are so much worse than some of their normal counterparts, despite not changing their behaviour/moveset at all. A good example is Kushala, Teostra and Vaal. To make ATs a truly better fight, you have to change more than just HP and attack stats.
    3. I extensively talked about unbalanced attacks in the video, but I failed to mention that a lot of the combat in MHW seems to be balanced around mantles. Once they run out, heck, even while they're still active, flaws become glaringly obvious.
    4. I watched a few boss fights from older games I've played, like the Fromsoft games, where attacks can be massive in size, look flashy and can still be easiyl avoided with a well timed roll, block or parry.
    5. I wouldn't critique this game so much if I didn't care. I do care, which is why I even bothered making this video.
    6. Thanks for watching. Buy my shirt. The one I am wearing right now.

    • @sp0el
      @sp0el 5 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Iframes in Souls games are godlike when compared to MH - you don't need that much practice to use them efficiently. They also are the best answer to an incoming attack in 95% of situations - the other 5% being a parry or spacing due to lingering hitboxes. So efficient gameplay consists of rythmically hitting dodge and R1.
      In MH I can't a roar I saw hundreds of times - seeing how speedrunners like you dodge them effortlessly always puts me in awe. But in the end, as MH has lower s, I always felt that it is much more about correct positioning in advance than reacting to an attack with simple input at the very second it is meant to hit you. Hitzones make it even more important. So even though both games have huge bosses, the process of getting yourself in the position of commiting to an attack seems so much different to me. Thus I wouldn't use FS games as an example of MHW shortcomings. Sure, Souls speedruns are much more consistent than for MH, as dodging attacks is much easier and flashy attacks with long animations are rarely used, so you can't really overcommit like with CB's SAED.
      Obviously, this doesn't change the fact that some of things in MHW are bullshit and pepega slam and Lunastra random flames are the bullshitiest bullshit this game has. It is amazing how AT Nerg is still a fun fight for me, despite all that. Lunastra isn't.

    So I was going pretty smooth with the fight for a solo managing to survive a supernova and a Teostra bond. She hobbled off into the place with the falling crystals and I absolutely decimated her cause I'm a hammer main and don't give stuns lightly. She started to limp, went to the final area to sleep, and I got off a decent wake up hit. I died all three times after that without landing a single hit

It was one of the rarity 8 taroth horns that has good songs to help counter luna, he ran true gae bolg. It took us over 30 minutes of cheek clenching and running around to get her to limp away with 2 carts left. (I was the one cart, got too close then she nova'd when I was at half health) We were both executed in the last 5 minutes when we got her into a corner. She bamboozled us into a trap, because she lept over us, and nova'd again. We couldn't make it out in time or out heal her and ate our last 2 carts

      Jus roll towards where he was when he jumps. It's actually pretty easy to do but hard to read if that makes sense. By easy I mean that you can consistently avoid it just by rolling in that direction, but the hard part is being in the middle of a move and then he attacks (or in multiplayer where you don't know who's targeted).

      The damage is fine, but when you combine their damage with their speed it becomes problematic. Which is where the problems with AT Nergi and Luna lies. They have VERY tricky hitzones (seriously the worst in the game), they are incredibly fast and their fast rapid attacks hits hard and have one shot potential. That's just bad balancing.

    Thanks for this. I’ve chatted with people about the instant slam and while I don’t think it’s too bad the worst part for me is how spammable Capcom allowed it to be. The move wouldn’t be such an issue if there was an some sort of internal cooldown before it’s next use. As it is I’ve died countless times to none stop dive spam. Even with guard 5 and dash juice if you block the first one and he spams the move (which he can and does) by the 3rd slam you are likely dead or close. Don’t over commit is bullshit to, I’ve been hit many times with draw attacks just taking my weapon out- it’s like I swear the game input reads the second I do anything it’s dive bomb time.

      I'm guessing you are using a lance or gunlance? If you have around 500 armor, 3 guard(you can use 5 if you want to) with 3 divine blessing you garanteed won't die by the pepega slam. Using this setup you can also block the dive attack with almost no dmg done to you + you dont need Guard Up gem. The slow slam from standing up attack still hurts but the rest will only scratch you! :) I'm also using three health augments on my gunlance. And everyone, remember to move while blocking to let it regain stam in between the hits. Thought I'd let all people with shields know about this setup. It works great!

      @@GuyWithAnAmazingHat fighting games are very different to monster hunter, fighting games are very fast paced so blocking is typically easier and your moves are also faster, in monster hunter, your moves are very slow and can't be fully interrupted along with the fact that depending on your weapons, you sometimes only have the dodge roll/ dive available to evade damage, so you're not just reacting to "frames" like in fighting games, you're trying to find out the exact move the monster is using so that you can time it correctly. So even though you see a move coming in MH you're having to decide what to do and sometimes you're character can't do anything about said move because they're in the middle of an animation. This of course isn't downplaying fighting games, they're really hard too obviously, just showing you that you can't really compare two entire different game genres.

    There are too many people to respond to individually, but let me say this:
    Everyone who watches this video and thinks, without a shred of irony, that I made this video because I think he is too difficult or that I can't beat him, has the attention span and comprehension of a guppy. Takes 5 seconds to go to my channel and see that I've been speedrunning this franchise for 10 years. Heck, I even showed it in the video.
    I guess if your head is so far up your ass that you can manually start your bowel movement by talking, then you wouldn't be able to hear and see my points.
    Also people seem to lack the understanding of deep combat design. MHWorld barely has any and it shows when you inflate stats.
    Telling others to just use more defensive sets or to switch weapons also entirely miss the points I made across the video.
    I thought about leaving out clips where I kick Nergis ass at all, since that might make some people think ATN is not that bad at all. Turns out I should've put in even more, considering some self proclaimed "veterans" (something good players would never call themselves) can't even differentiate between good and god awful gameplay.
    This video was also made from the PoV of a casual MH consumer and not a speedrunner, so going for the low hanging "he uses no defensive skills, TA runner glass cannon builds XD" fruit is cringeworthy beyond belief. The hypocrisy of players saying "let me play how I want," trying to lecture others to use Defense+ as a workaround for shit game design, while throwing an autistic fit when others tell them that their set can be optimized, without losing any of their precious life saving skills, is unreal.
    That being said, 85% of the reception was stellar, so my hope for this community is semi restored. I could make a video responding to comments, but I feel people have made up their minds and even if you tell them that the sky is blue they'll still insist it's diarrhea green, because their gut feeling tells them so. Also, I wanted to educate people about something (I assumed) was clear as day. Apparently not.
    Can't believe people are arguing about Cheap One shots being unfair or not. It literally can't be easier than: Non telegraphed one shot = bad. "N-no, I-i never carted to it. I just so happen to have no proof for it, wait, I don't have to provve anything to YOU, I'm a fourth fleet elite :D."
    Don't forget kids, don't overcommit, you might get sniped by something at any time. Better stand still and play dead. You might be done with one hunt by the time the sun stops burning.

    The Tempered and Arch Tempered fights rather turned me off from the game and I'm rather worried about how they're going to factor into _Iceborne._ I'm no stranger to realizing that I need to "Git Gud" when it comes to certain monsters in the series, Fatalis and his ilk didn't go down remotely easily back in the day, but _MHW_ soured things more than they needed to with these monster versions. Tempered monsters are still reasonably balanced, though the incentives for doing those fights over normal versions is (was?) lacking. Arch Tempered tries to address that by adding monster specific gear to craft, but it's still not much of a better "end game" for the player. I'm sure I'll enjoy going through _Iceborne,_ but hopefully they don't carry over the current lazy "end game" design.

      I agree with this.

I remember finished AT Teostra and just being absolutely fried with the game, I took a break and then I read about Behemoth(Extreme) and I officially was done with MHW until Iceborne. They've cranked up the artificial difficulty so high in MHW with the AT content, that people just play the most broken build they can find to cruise right through it. I mean, I just don't see a point in playing MHW when I can't play a weapon I enjoy because it can't speed run a monster.

      Every single monster in this game other than its arch version is a joke. Hunters are way too powerful in this world weapon doing too much damage and having op mantles. Before world you can’t kill a high rank monster with in 2 min with high rank gear. Now monsters are just meat stand there for you to farm. Normal tempered elder dragon takes you less than 5 min to kill. They have really little health and flinch 2 every attack from the hunter. Before you go to high rank or G rank in the game where it’s the highest rank there are no health scaling. You fight multiplayer health alone all the time. Every G rank monster are hitting fast and hard and having huge hit box.
      I can give you Val and Luna are bad fights because you can’t dodge the dot. Arch Kirin is a joke because of the mantles. This is the only really good fight in the game rn. Punish you for being unskilled and unlucky. You have to use your item to do this fight and you are always on the edge of your seat. This is the only fight feel like a difficult boss in monster hunter. So if you don’t like this kind of experience monster hunter isn’t really your game. Or just don’t fight this one. If you really can’t solo a monster like this. What’s that one or two attack gonna help you from the nergi Gama gear anyway?

    I have to object to AT Nergi's new move. It's extremely easy to dodge if you're on the lookout and you dodge towards his start-of-attack position (where he was when he jumped up to insta-gib you) or opposite to where he lands. The attack has a very nice and precise hitbox, which seems to be a trend with the new attacks that some of the ATs got. I will say that the nice hitboxes are kind of unfair, though.

      The problem is that slam could be chained from any attack randomly (except the meteor dive). Combo spammers like Azure Rathalos and Stygian Zinogre give you clear images about what attack would come next after the first attack, AT Nerg, on the other hand, could flawlessly chain any of it's attacks in random with the slam, be it the claw, tail swipe, backslide, or even the first AT slam. While the first slam might be easy to evade, it is impossible to predict the next slam. So, AT Nerg in a nutshell is to worry whatever the slam would come after x attack or not.

I'm assuming that's why AkantoreX gave a blank image with the roar/grunt Nerg makes when he does the insta-slam. [7:18] It's a unique sound that is your tell for what he's doing (which just so happens to be the insta-slam). One could say it's your only tell for that attack.
      This is a the case with pretty much every attack from every monster. Monsters typically make a certain sound while doing a certain attack, and this helps with distinguishing one attack from another when the animations are similar. It's a layer of attack telling that pretty much every game has, but it's something to keep in mind.
      Kind of unrelated, but it's almost impossible for me to disagree that when a monster combos, it's annoying. For me, I can't combo the monster when it moves so much, and as a result a combo on the monster's end is not fun. Especially Azure Rathalos, he just flies around and does attacks that nullify flash bombs, so you have to run really far away so he flies normally so you can flash him. Don't even get me started on tempered AR, because that's where a Behemoth style damage check is added with each flash. If you don't kill him shortly after your 4th and final flash, have fun watching him zip zap zoop everywhere for a few minutes while he's enraged. Waiting for him to become exhausted so you can bop him on the nose is the worst. I mean, you could throw rocks at him, but it's still one of the most "I'd quit to go do something else" parts of the fight.

Further more, Hyper monsters have the unique mechanic of hyper spots which has many applications in the fight. Hitting hyper spots builds hunter art gauge faster while getting hit by an attack from a hyper spot will hurt A LOT. This is way more interesting than a simple damage buff because now you have to look out for certain attacks and it can change at any moment. Hyper monsters can also change the timing of their attacks which can really throw you off. I actually really enjoy Hyper monsters. Tempered monsters can go fuck off for being lazy an boring af.

      Shit hitzones (seriously, the wings for cutting weapons!?)
      Hypernova / Hellflare, one of the most RNG attacks in series, requires good Lunastra RNG, or you're screwed. There are multitude of solutions to avoid the Hellflare, but none of them are fixed solutions. As if the 4U G-Rank Crimson Fatalis level of DPS that covers a whole area (as opposed to Crimson Fatalis's, which only covers it's front) isn't enough, they dump those blue flames bursting in RNG. People complained that Teostra's Supernova in 4U was cancerous, then Lunastra's Hellflare is way worse than that.
      Accompanying Elder Dragon present in the Quest that will not leave the Quest after the Turf War or Bonding, and can only be removed by slaying it. Two Elder Dragons present in one Quest is something not even Frontier is so mindlessly insane enough to create, except for Kirin. *_Let's not talk about when Teostra enters the fray_*
      It is clearly apparent that you're just wearing a fanboy glasses, trying to advocate this kind of shit design, clearly being in denial by calling x things better the worse it is. Foolish, ignorant, and hypocritical player like you should cease to exist because you might destroy the series due to supporting this kind of shit design to be made ever again. Fixed, your view of standards is trash, end of story.

    In defence of Nergigante and Vaal Hazak:
    Vaal Hazak himself is actually really easy to deal with. The DOT is something you have to manage. This is the whole point of the fight.
    Nergigante's new attack is mostly still reactable and easy to I frame due to low active frames. The thing that makes AT Nerg hard is that later on in the fight you always have to bear it in mind.

    • @CptnCardboard
      @CptnCardboard 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agree completely. Vaal is a lot easier when you remember to use torch pods on the regular effluvia that's around so you take less damage from the DoT.
      Nergi's backhop dive is so easy to avoid by simply always dodging to your character's right whenever he does it. It works every single time. Being killed by it is entirely a player's fault.

  • @TheLordGojira
    @TheLordGojira 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Counterargument: Nergigante doesn't seem to have been designed with TA in mind.
    While I have insane trouble with Nergi alone (no cat) or without mantles, adding either one (particularly the cat, which I normally hate bringing to almost *any* other hunt)... feels great, honestly.
    A common complaint about World in general is that there are too many things that make the game easier. I agree. Rather than creating a fight that's challenging when you handicap yourself to make the game harder, Nergigante seems geared to make the game hard when you use everything to your disposal. The temporal and rocksteady mantles should have never been made. They were, and Nergigante wants you to use them and still feel something of a challenge. The game isn't actually made for TA rules. I think you acknowledged this in your comment and I'm sure other comments have mentioned it, but I think it's still a worthwhile point.
    The pepega slam is infinitely more tolerable when you have a cat around, in my experience. It doesn't seem like it was geared for a true solo.
    There's an argument to be made that all content should be soloable without any help, but I'm not sure that's possible while maintaining challenge with more to your advantage (multiplayer scaling speaks to this, though I don't think it was implemented properly at all), and technically it's possible to solo Nergi anyway.
    On my part, unless I'm deliberately handicapping myself, I find that AT Nergi practically goes down faster than the other ATs. Probably because my runs aren't perfect on the others or anything, but I think ~11 minutes for a normal run is decent. (That was the run when I first cleared him, and by the time the event rolled away, I didn't get much faster)
    I think also a speedrunner's perspective is different, having to run it over, and over, and over, and over, difficulty that doesn't feel "fair" becomes more grating, rather than the typical reward a more typical player feels upon clearing at all. For this matter I'm quite surprised you hate Vaal, if it makes sense.
    It's all subjective, and I'm something of a masochist, but I quite love AT Nergigante, and quite makes me fear and respect the monster. I want to feel like the monsters have capabilities that I can barely deal with, and realistically Nergi move so fast I can barely keep makes a lot of sense. AT's shouldn't fee like anything less than terrifying forces of nature in my mind, and it's not like anything has been worse than Gogmazios in terms of running around whittling on infinite HP trying to not get one-shot, and I like Gog.
    As much as I know it often enough acts like an HP check and there's little I can do, I have largely gotten used to and adjusted to the pepega slam.
    Though I've never seen him chain it like he did in your video, that's actually hilarious. I'd probably hate him too if I had to deal with that. XD
    Nergigante is one of the few AT monsters I found myself looking to fight for fun after I had all of his gear and the layered armor. I really think he's fun-the ultimate balancing act and culmination of what I've learned playing the game. But then I also like soloing Behemoth.
    Just my opinion though.

    • @Adeon55
      @Adeon55 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. I'm a casual player whose character didn't defeat the base game all that long ago, and hasn't done much afterward (never defeated KT, gotten the new meta gear or anything - don't even have an augmented weap yet). I came back to the game after a month or so of not playing at all just to try soloing AT Nerg, and my rusty butt downed him on the 2nd attempt, only carting once (1st attempt was w/ IG, 2nd was GL). And not from a pepega slam, but because I tried to block through a dive bomb on low health, when I should've sheathed & superman dove. But I did use my palico, and a gajalaka which I refreshed when I had time, after he died. AT Nerg's tough obviously, but much less nerve-wracking with a cat buddy or two around to give you a breather and stay topped up when needed. Behemoth is much tougher to solo imo. What weap do you use for that, cluster bombs?

      @@Adeon55 Nah I play charge blade. It's why I follow AkantoreX in the first place, lol. He's an inspiration.
      Stage 4 gets to be pretty rough and there's generally just a lot of HP and low flinches to deal with, but doing that gets you really used to the idea of "I will get punished if I SAED, but I have to anyway", so the Pepega didn't come as anything new on that front, even if Behemoth doesn't have many moves that come out so instantly like that.
      I actually think (yes because of Pepega) that TA AT Nergi might be harder than TA Behemoth, but I haven't successfully done either yet (no mantle behemoth is pretty rough; cat is take it or leave it), so meh. Non-TA there's no question; Behemoth is much harder.

    • @TheLordGojira
      @TheLordGojira 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jordan William how are you going to have a hard time if you keep good track of the monster and it doesn’t punish you severely? You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either it hits like a truck, it’s unpredictable/punished openings itself or otherwise difficult to dodge, or it’s not hard. AT Nergi does both at once and I see why people don’t like it but... I don’t have an issue with it. It’s not like you can’t actually keep track of Pepega, it’s that it’s hard to dodge, fast reaction and often you’re trapped in previous animations.
      But if it *weren’t* fast like that it would be a joke and nobody would be struggling at all. My greatest issue with Nergi is that his divebomb is basically pointless besides doing me a favor and getting rid of spikes. It basically can’t hit anyone who doesn’t have a shield and it doesn’t punish blocking it despite otherwise being a oneshot move.
      If I can trace another huge balancing issue for World honestly, it’s that the Superman dive got unbelievably and unnecessarily buffed from older games. It used to be if I Superman’d on Teostra while he was running around he’d just charge me when the s wore off and kill me. Now it’s just a “get out of jail free” card for basically the entire game.
