The 10 STEPS of Great Sword （大剣）- Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

[@HeroTen10]

10:10 was simply art, wow. I thought I was a pretty okay GS user but now I'd only rank myself as a step 4. Now I'm gonna go back in with new ideas, thanks!

[@Jc_12368]

honestly that blew the fuck out of my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewulrich5570]

Literally just got the game and was gravitating for the great sword but it looked pretty basic. Looks like there’s so much hidden tech it’s insane

[@itsboiya6948]

@@andrewulrich5570 as a GS user I can say, for me at least, GS us the most *satisfying weapon in the game*

[@christiankirby8092]

@@itsboiya6948 I am not a greatsword main however I dont really have a main. I just pick weapons a weapon that I feel like using and greatsword definetly takes the cake for most satisfying if weapons.

[@Revoltine]

@@andrewulrich5570 The most basic weapons in the game actually require the most intimate monster knowledge, IMO. GS obv as shown in this video. HBG/LBG where knowing monster patterns mean no wasted ammo, and efficient dodging in between shots. Hardcore LBG mains are also pretty big brain since they plant trip mines in unusual positions like how GS users do predictive TCS. SnS requires some of the fastest reactions because of backhop, instant flash, and deploying traps to have 100% disable uptime or prevent a chase sequence (thank you radial menu!). All of these also require some form of keeping track of the KO stacks, possible trip timing, and knowing when a monster might escape before it speeds away.

[@ArisMH]

I've seen many people questioning about 5th step, I'll work on a brief explanation soon. Edit: Recently my 10 Steps Iceborne video has been blocked worldwide due to one of it's songs has been copyrighted. I had to mute that song in order to unlock it again, I'm truly sorry because that part of the video was special for me and now it doesn't have music for you to enjoy.

[@littleboyred1]

@@pututsoul7681 PC user here, While i haven't given this a serious try so i don't know how strict the timing is, maybe it could be because of the input lag on console compared to pc? You might have to start charging two or three frames sooner to compensate. That's only a guess, though.

[@AngelosRitter]

the meteor was juked so hard it deleted itself

[@DeadEye364]

10:20 Holy crap that was clean af

[@doctordono5812]

I still see a lot of questions about step 5. It's difficult to perform but it's a [frame perfect?] trick where, after the end of the tackle, your character has an animation to bring the GS back to the neutral position. In the middle of this tackle->neutral animation is where you want to input an attack and a direction. Given that it's such tight timing, I'm guessing that it's not an intended mechanic. Glad to answer specific questions if anyone wants to ask

Hello do you have any tips on how to perfectly time the instant charge after tackle at 2:55?

1 month, and I still haven't figured out how to Instant charge.... My life is a nightmare

[@SamkoKalajdzini]

@@adriandamaris8741 instant charge is when u do 2 normal slashes into true charge slash it takes only 1 sec to charge

[@OtomostheCrazy]

Samko They’re talking about step 5

[@Subst4nce12]

i got it now been practicing it....so basically u do any 2nd charged tackle so if u do the overhead slash it would result to a fully charge slash...its a perfect input so it requires practice and patience

[@llooll9221]

its a bug, basically it does nothing. as you know, tackle will save ur charge level(try partially charge -> tackle -> wide slash, and fully charge -> tackle -> wide slash) for a short time, there is a very short time window you can use charge instantly. (ur previous combo ended but charge level has not been removed). It's 100% a bug looks cool but does nothing.

The trick is to allow yourself to start a little early when you're new to it so you can delay the later steps a bit longer to get the timing down. It can be hard to control that trigger finger but it's half the work to time it.

Insane bro, absolutely insane. Honestly gs has become kind of boring, being able to TCS shoulder bash through pretty much everything. But between Alatreon forcing me to git gud and actually learn a monster, and seeing the insane reads in this video, I'm remembering why I fell in love with the weapon to begin with. Lots to learn even still, thanks for the tips!

[@Gebunator]

What? You don't enjoy the gamble of plowing through supernovas, divebombs, breath attacks and whatnot with a tackle, coming out with little health only to deliver that toppling TSC? But I'll say this, the gear we got before Alatreon made the game a little too easy. Heck, with so much damage at our disposal and so much armor, you can just unga bunga through most monsters without even figuring out the monsters. That's why Alatreon is hard because you can't brute force him by the power of gear alone.

It took me the better part of a month to get back into the swing of things (pun intended) to FINALLY get my first victory against Fatalis, which is also a solo victory, because I always beat monsters solo before taking them on in a group setting.
