Yeah me and my boy finally got him on the second attempt last night.

Your next roadblock might be Blackveil Vaal Hazak. Spores on the ground can't be neutralized as far as I know, so just be aware.

Bring Cleanser Booster and Immunity Mantle.

What pisses me off about Alatreon is that without his supernova, he's an easy fight. Imagine you beating someone for 11 rounds then they shoot you in the 12th.

How bad is Alatreon so far? :skip:

It forces you to use certain weapons (CB, IG, DB, LS, SS)
Spams elemental attacks then nukes you with an instant kill if you don't do enough elemental damage. And he runs a lot.
That's just a bad gameplay mechanic IMO.

Your stats mean nothing if you can't defend with them, and they are admitting the fight is weak without it's gimmick.

Fighting him isn't that difficult, but he'll spam, run and then instant cart you.
What would I give it out of 10? It didn't meet my damage threshold so it nukes to a 0/10.

Yeah Alatreon is an initial challenge just in how hard he hits and getting his patterns memorized. That supernova is terrible design and orders of magnitude more frustrating than MR Kulve Taroth leaving early even though you have a 50 minute time limit. You just cannot have weak links on a team for that hunt. I've only beat it twice since the Special Assignment, and one of those we had a guy running the best support I've seen in my life.

cb=charge blade
ig=insect glaive
db=dual blades
ls=long sword?
ss=sword shield?

Yeah everything I'm hearing about that Alatreon so far is :camby:

and the armor don't even look cool :francis:


yeah think I'll hold off until the fall event before I bother. Gonna finish getting the layered stuff today, then back to not playing

Killed it last night with LBG. Strafe and shoot. yawn.

Yeah this fake news fam. :francis: The devs put a built-in multiplier for this quest to increase elemental damage for weapons that have low elemental damage output like the Hammer, HH, GS, etc.

Are you saying that GS/Hammer, etc does more elemental damage on Alatreon than a normal monster?

I think Frostfang drops tonight. I hope his ass stay in once place instead of doing all that jumping around :unimpressed:. My friend should have been getting that Ruiner Event Quest in instead of fukking round with Odyssey :snoop:. Next few days he's going to be complaining about not having enough materials to upgrade and augment.
