[@ReaverJolt]

In case you're all wondering what I used to plan my set and look at key quests, I used MH4U Database on phone. Also the final fight took 48 minutes and 11 seconds to beat which was really close.

[@KillaLalas]

That database app is op ngl

[@amiralfrancais3700]

That fight reminded me of when we first defeated Gogmazios with my brother. It was our first MH game, we barely knew what we were doing at the time. It took us multiple attempts to even reach the second phase. And then, one afternoon, we survived until the very end and defeated it extremely close on the timer. We were completely exhausted. I think there was around 16 seconds left on the clock when it fell down. Truly an amazing boss

[@johnny85r.r.]

Hello there i enjoy your challenge videos do have full videos of them? so i watch full journey instead of parts of it.

[@helmutskrasts9115]

What is the song called 35:52 as soon as fight with gogmazios starts? Also great job keep it up ^^

[@rezterralico4369]

Was that a fire weapon you used? Not familiar with axes. Currently at it. Trying to make a drogon weapon from dragon type zinoger. Need another skyemerald. Seeing if I can hone it with the DLC sticking diablos quest to health or attack.

[@eighttimesnine]

If only we got to see if you were able to craft the Gogmazios waist at the end... the journey for a decent belt continues

[@Stef2050]

A challenge like this shows how rough it is to be a hunter in canon

[@IdiotN4]

Well, I think you'd get more monster mats in canon. Like, you probably wouldnt ever have to kill 7 tigrexs to have enough mats for a tigrex weapon. But that happens sometimes in game.

[@ThePontiac001]

In canon you get every material you need to craft a full armor and weapon set. The rng rewards system exist only as a game mechanic to allow for replayability, otherwise a full playthrough of a game would be rather quick

[@GinkgoPete]

In Orage the characters get an upgrade in gear after every monster slain.

[@Demirbaykus]

The challange itself is hard enough, abandon thing was not needed

[@frawg357]

if there is no punishment to failing a quest, you can just redo it, then there is no difference between an abandon or not since you could just fail instead of abandoning making the counter useless.

[@alexthelavamonster8747]

Take away the abandon rule if you ever decide to do this again. I respect the grind but this makes it harder than it has to be. Amazing video.

[@Colton42-d7b]

I find a lot of the rules are silly like not being able to abandon and not taking items even if you fail like throw yourself a bone sometimes my favorite parts are when you succeed

[@kingofflames738]

Yeah, the no abandon rule was kinda weird since it's identical to just failing the quest and reverting the save.

[@bigfungus4088]

Honestly, only reason i could see is he thought it was cheating if he got bad drops or something, but its not like triple fainting is the same thing

[@BetaNights]

My guess is that the no abandon rule was to prevent him from abusing abandons to get favorable rng, like resetting until the invader he wanted appeared or something. Maybe not necessary, but fits the idea of the challenge, I guess.

[@fishnutz5196]

My thing is why not just let yourself faint if you didnt want to abandon and you set these rules. Made zero sense to me tbh

[@GumshoeClassic]

​​@@fishnutz5196The idea is that you're not *allowed* to throw on purpose to get better rng. The limited abandons are supposed to be your free reset tickets, and if you don't abandon you do actually have to try to beat the quest. It's a bit of an odd rule in that it's very hard to verify whether you actually did your best to beat it or not, but that's the thought behind it: Limit the amount of times you can *deliberately* reset for better rng.

[@Shark_Dude]

I've got a monster hunter challenge run I'd like for you to consider, if you would like to. Solo prowler only. You can get multiple palicos to do things like gather materials, teach your main palico moves, or swap out to a different prowler, but you cannot bring any other palicos with you during hunts. This challenge doesn't sound too bad, but trust me most quests past HR 3 are buzzer beaters and I gave up in G rank. BTW tip if you do do it use beast or protection palicos because they have a kind of adept dodge built in (beast palicos only when in beast mode) I tried to use charisma and was punished *HARD* for it in later ranks.

[@JeepusChrystler]

"Plume" Daimyo Hermitaur? That's my favorite monster right behind Shotgun Ceanataur!

[@squash1780]

dude, you are amazing. im way older than this channels intended audience, but im so glad that you are providing a safe environment for a young audience to experience the world of monster hunter. i can already imagine myself being a crusty old grandpa and my grandkid coming up to me saying "grandpa, please come help me with rathalos! i just cant get the last plate i need!"

[@awakenedcrowl]

That Final Gogmazios Battle remembered me so much of my a 3Ultimate memory of mine. I was so desperate to get the Alatreon Quest in the Village. For which, you had to beat EVERY other village quest first. And the FINAL one you had beat before unlocking Alatreon was an Arena Battle against one Monster (I think Ivory Lagiacrus) and then two monsters at the same time (Rathalos and Brachydios). As if fighting a Rathalos and a Brachydios at the same time wasn't enough, this was the ONLY offline quest, were the Monsters were scaled up to G RANK (at least that's what I read, and their health and strength seemed to fit that). I was at my second attempt I think, and was already quite unmotivated because it just seemed insane to my. I think I was using Brachy dual blades. And I was also at that point where time was running out. I only had Brachy left and had like 0 expecatations of still beating it, but I also didn't want to give up, because I had already spent so long on that quest. So I went in for one final despair attack after I had already sheathed my weapon, wanting to give up. And that one final slash did it. When I looked at my quest timer in the info afterwards, I was literally at 49:59 out of 50 minutes. A literal last second kill. That was an adrenaline rush I tell you xD I even took a photo of it, but sadly that died with one of my old phones, so I can't prove it. But the memory will never die.

[@Manectrix2000]

It’s so fun to see this since I’m going through 4U myself to fight every 4U exclusive monster! Just hit Caravan High Rank and currently raising my Hub Rank. Fought Emerald Conga, Blue Yian Kut-Ku, and Purple Gypceros! In case anyone is wondering, I decided to try Insect Glaive for this game.

[@Ygoti]

That's an interesting challenge! I would never attempt it myself since I value my sanity, but it is nice watching somebody else doing it! And you did great! It was a lot of fun to watch and also that was some very good commentary! I'd love to know how much time was left in the last quest tho! But congratz either way! I was happy when you succeeded! :D

[@GIGACAT573]

Yo he is alive again, Yeepee !

[@rezterralico4369]

Got a gore magala honed weapon due to the DLC. Unlocked GOG on my trip up north. Maybe justt doing some GOG runs. Was going for a stygen zinoger weapon but seeing you did it with rando weapons I guess I could try it a few times and if I fell I'm failing the quest I can always exit via subquest. I didn't know about the ballista weapons and how much damage is dealt to the tail so not sure if parts breaker or HG earplugs is better. I should just go for the tail next time. Was trying to figure out the fight the first 5 times with chameloes armour (fire bad) LOL. Used the kaiser to even survive to the second phase. I think doing maily the tail instead of the feet will get me the dub. GGs.

[@slentara1]

Awesome job

[@DocDoesGamingTV]

[@Elehk99]

This challenge justifies my frustration with some of the more difficult 4U quests. Double cephadrome, brachy/stygian, black gravios, etc. are just not fun fights

[@YungMidLord909]

i agree but being prepared for your hunts makes all the difference in older mh games, dung bombs go brrrr

[@athos9293]

While watching, the only thing i could think was "how the hell is he gonna clear Fire Drill and Gog?!"

[@Officewaffle]

Fire drill is the real final boss

[@athos9293]

@@Officewaffle G Rank Shagaru Magala one shots you even in reasonably upgraded Desert Seltas Queen armor, with his wingarm slam

[@Officewaffle]

@@athos9293 yeah I struggled with that but I also farmed shagaru guild quests for the fully upgraded IG before gog so I know it's pretty doable. Fire drill on the other hand was the only quest I felt I needed to abuse items on and that was after I failed probably more than 10 times.

[@athos9293]

@@Officewaffle Yeah, we all have varied perceptions of difficulty when it comes to different kinds of challanges. In one side, you have an inexplicably fast monster which's every attack sends a fleet of hovering missiles that track your position (Brachydios is an extra). The other is a long, wide, tall, large and massive dragon that's painfully unpredictable and cuts over half of your health bar with every attack, and can just spit a little bomb that carts you if you aren't at full HP and is extremely hard to not get hit by depending on your position, not to mention the randomly spawning frenzy explosions that punish you for standing still to heal. At least it's not a mouble monster quest in the Volcano 🌋

[@Officewaffle]

@@athos9293 yeah absolutely, I found g rank teostra almost as hard the first time but now I farm teostra GQs for relic weapons. Difficulty in these games is pretty flexible. Having killed chaotic gore might have also helped with shagaru, I'd say chaotic was more difficult if it weren't for the geysers

[@Camazotz34]

Do Monster Hunter Rise and Sunbreak but always stay on your palaumte or only use Kunai

[@C-20isme]

What a video to close off the year. I would have to agree; this is definitely the hardest challenge you've done by far!

[@mcrspider6776]

After watching the other 2 videos multiple times I already knew it was a banger

[@maxmuller6791]

The abandon rule is kinda pointless 'cause you can just wipe 3x without using items in case you forgot to bring anything, thus avoiding abandons for rng reasons in terms of invaders as well.

[@maxmuller6791]

You can also get infinte resources this way too by killing invaders and then carting to the main monsters

[@Respawnns]

I couldn’t deal enough damage to kill Gogmazios alone to save my life in a normal playthrough, yet you managed under overwhelming restrictions! What a feat of skill!

[@gamerdude491]

What a ridiculous challenge LOL I was not sure it was possible. For me, it wouldn't have been possible. I only beat 4U a year ago for the first time, with GOG being my ultimate challenge. These G rank quests HUMBLED me. Fire Hazard especially was awful for me. I was confident once I squeezed past it until Gogmazios himself. I had seen it online and was itching to fight it. It demolished me dozens of times even as a seasoned Monster Hunter player. To this day, my favorite and hardest final boss.

[@deathstinger13]

this one still cringes every time you call the purple crab 'Plume Day-myo' pretty sure it's 'Plum' as in the fruit and color, and 'Daimyo', a japanese word pronounced with an 'I' as in 'Night'

[@deathstinger13]

if it were pronounced like you pronounce it, it'd be spelled 'Daemyo'

[@ElysetheEevee]

I make the mistake of pronouncing "ai" as "ay," thanks to Pokemon (at least, in my mind, when I read stuff without thinking about it). However, it is supposed to be "Day-myo," for the closest phonetic match. The "plume" part is clearly wrong. The "e" in plume changes the "u" to a long sound and blah, blah. It's "pluhm," obviously. I think that's a brain thing on his end, with learning things the wrong way and then internalizing it. We all have those, and most of us catch them in time.
