How to Beat Kulve Taroth in Sub 20 Minutes - Free SR Ticket - Full Guide - Monster Hunter Stories 2!

[@mt_baldwin]

This still requires something many of us don't have, cool friends that play monster hunter. Anyway this isn't too hard even with an idiot AI (use local connection for better AI's) if you're playing in the most effective way. Use weapons with elements the monster are weak to, use the correct weapon damage type vs body part weakness, wear armor that counters the monsters elements and bring monsties that are good counters for the monsters element and type. I've seen way too many people not doing this. They use great sword or HH and that's that and refuse to use anything else and X, Y and Z are their favorite monsties and refuse use others. Which is why something like Kluve which is hard but not all that much is suddenly seen as this bif difficulty spike when it isn't.

[@sweggs3599]

If u get unlucky and get the ai with the deviljho gs its almost impossible tbh. Since they get one shot by every possible kulve move, regardless of how many ancient potions u pump into him

[@reddragon2316]

Lol if you got the game on the switch I’ll happily help out.

[@SkyeFused]

there is whole discords out there who can help w that tbh

[@commissarrezzik8713]

You have described my friend to a T. We ran KT last night and I kept telling him he needed to switch off his Rath Greatsword as KT was fire resistant. He did not respond. I then just sent one message, "You brought all fire weapons didn't you?" his response was "...yes" Some people use what they like but really want to fight KT and win. It's frustrating but at the same time, who am I to tell my friend how to play his game? If he enjoys playing it that way, then cool. Let him/her enjoy it their own way.

[@Shay96]

@@commissarrezzik8713 I disagree with the whole "Let them play as they want" mentality, when it crosses into multiplayer. If you're playing with someone else and they want to succeed, then it's selfish to just play how you want, when it's actively making it harder to succeed. That's all well and good for solo, but when it's negatively affecting other players, then it's the person playing selfishly who's the problem.

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

Now this is something that is welcomed for Stories 2 players.

[@cirnonokoibito]

thank you for this guide. following this, even with an Ai, I was able to beat this in like 15:07. This happened because my partner dc'd and was replaced with an Ai, but it happened before I even beat the first enemy. So I think that counts. The one hit KO tech was the true MVP of that glorious run.

[@reddragon2316]

I’d personally run the Velkhana SNS instead of the bloodbath sword because there isn’t much difference in power and the counter for SNS does work for all of kulve skill attacks

[@shufflebox814]

Hallow avoided saying Kulve’s final phase is her naked phase was very amusing.

[@eriche3089]

just randomly remembered watching ur mc build battles back in the day, happy to see that ur still making videos

[@funnydumplin8183]

My fastest was 16 minutes and 24 seconds. I just used my crit set with my boltreaver hh then my barrioth gs while my partner had his heroics set with their kirin ss and kushala hammer. I used my kulu as the one hit ko monstie, my boltreaver for the first phase and my kushala in the second phase while my partner used their bloodbath as their one hit ko, rajang for the first phase, and velkhana for the second phase. Our strat was to split up to cover more ground and meet up with kulve.

[@pinkyclaudie5450]

Finally a guide for doing it under 20 mins that isn't some lvl 99 guy doing it

[@lonewolfnergiganos4000]

Let's be honest, we're all struggling to fight Kulve Taroth while worrying about the time at the same time.

[@FREGFAT]

Fuck yes!

[@captainkaboomybeard7920]

Honestly, I just do the quest to farm for materials.

[@dogs-game-too]

I always know the video is going to be informationally great when Hollow starts talking :)

[@flatulent_d9374]

You know what armor set is pretty good for this as well? Rajang's :). It has Wex (XL), Crit (L) and Heroics (L). I use a talisman that has Anti-Burn (XL) and Potential (XL) so in case I take a hit from Kulve's fire I get no blight and Potential sometimes helps if Kulve hits again. Overall if you don't mind being below half health you'll have high crit and amped up damage. Just use a Velkhana HH to get out of her Core Explosions. Also that deadly horn jab skill never worked for me except on Tobi...

[@DevilJhoMama]

Higher chance once it's upgraded, it's rediulously low without upgrades.

[@robertcauz9321]

co-op with a friend but dont fight together, theres heaps of delay when picking moves while both engaging in same combat, i get my friend to beat the sub 2 monsties while i take down kulve both phases, completed in 11min flat so far. solo everything saves heaps of time

[@polarityplus]

one small thing to add is you can kill them in any order so if you're running solo you can head right, kill brach then kulve 2 stages and then over to ast to finish the quest

[@joshjulrich]

I'm still proud of my 17:20 time with a random person! Plus my deadly horn didn't proc until the 7th try :P

[@ZackSNetwork]

I successfully accomplished this mission many times and don’t need to do it anymore thankfully. The most difficult things are how fast time goes by, finding all three monsters and having a competent player that’s not weak or keeps running into monsters wasting tons of time.

[@xpartyrocking98]

SEE THIS IS CHALLENGING! Unlike “Ris*3…. “cough”

[@alephisfatum1864]

I think another viable ice monstie for this fight would be Kushala Daora Not only for his ice affinity, but also because he's not weak to fire (unlike Velkhana)

[@wtf_is_this_handle_shit]

I use Kushala, and it's actually harder to do it with that than Velkhana. Kushala's kinship isn't targeted so it takes longer

[@AysarAburrub]

i just beat it solo in 19:13 using some tips from this video ... thank you :) here's my setup for anyone who's interested Equipment: Rajang SnS, Velkhana HH, Grimclaw Tigrex armor, Partbreaker (XL)/Revival (L) talisman Monsties: Silverwind Narga for fast movement around the map + the OHKO move Rajang for power and speed moves Velkhana for technical and speed moves Might charm + Mounting prayer AI partner was Kushana, the one with Ivory Lagiacrus hopefully this can be helpful to others ... good luck!

[@nearnormalplays4912]

Nice! This is super helpful!

[@sakiasuhara7404]

Hey there! This is a great video! But would you be able to tell me the builds you used on the three monsties on your team? I'm sure others would agree, it'd be great to be able to build up our monsties like yours!

[@XycoticGamer]

Whats the difference between deadly horn jab and toxic needle?

[@gruggedup9083]

Fun facts that help Apparently 1-hit ko counts as an ailment so give your monsties some of that juicy inflict ailment up. If you don’t want to switch to a Kirin for speed just give rajang a speed electric attack, I use lightning strike because it does multi hit and you can do a double attack with it.

[@kissofdeathxo7166]

Dhorn jab also seems to proc often when doing solo as i noticed in a team it doesn't proc as often. Im able to clear it under 17 min consistent on my second char at lvl 58 while under 13 min with my lvl 99 lol.

[@Qguardian]

I’m curious, what did you grind from 85 on? I’ve been in the special elders lair doing quick finishes but the exp seems to really dry up now.

[@kissofdeathxo7166]

@@Qguardian sz6 all the way to 99 theirs no way around it at the moment sadly. i did 5 runs a day till i got to 99 you can also insta level up 6 monsties to lvl 75 per run.

[@PrimordialWinter]

There's a faster way to do it. Have one player with breaker and a hammer go for Taroth and the other player take both Brac and Asta. The hammer player can constantly use the Meteor skill to break the parts while the other is trying to get horn jab to work. Beat it in 16 minutes.

[@maxchaos44]

So thunder for robed, ice for disrobed for kulve Then, poke the other two monsters til they die. Got it.

[@rhysdrain-langston9575]

I'm still struggling with the issues of getting my switch connected to the internet!

[@The-Stray-Shadow]

So I beat astalos then couldn’t find Brachy and instead found Kulve. Didn’t have cool mist land in level 39

[@saiyanosauce803]

What skill are you using to avoid the AOE attacks that Kulve trows out. I know there’s absolute evasion, but when I play with randoms they don’t use the skill is there a skill. Is there a HH skill that makes your whole party evade one attack? (edit): how do I get evasion rift

[@timothycao416]

You get evasion riff from a quest in nua te village. There should be a 2 brothers talking to each other with one of them imitating an Anjanath 😅

[@tadvonbaronstein6608]

I brought thunder/ice hammer and thunder/ice monstie with last monstie having 1hit ko skill. Rider skills: furybash/weak point/breaker/crit xl. With this template I got a 19 min clear with npc the day it came out after 5 tries. Infact, with this build I've been carrying randoms through it for funsies at lv 80 ish. No matter how lost they are, we clear anywhere from 20 to 22 mins. To clear under 20 though, you still need good coordination from partner or npc (npc with blunt weapon was better than randoms imo).

[@Sandragon124]

Note: the velkhana HH doesn't come with evasion riff. I grinded the velkhana HH for the second phase which works like a dream, but does not come with evasion riff. I don't know how to get that skill but just thought I should tell people.

[@qyrach7886]

IIRC its a reward from a npc quest

[@celinadelrosario449]

Is it still possible if i cant Split up because i dont have friends who play the game so i have to use the AI? But i cant tell them to go beat the astalos or brachy while i take the other one. They are kinda glued to you

[@AngryAnimeFan2]

So that the secret. Monsties that target parts, but as unware on which ones do that This does seem to give a good explanation, but it still not easy

[@xBluegamerx]

Find a friend to do this hunt? What else do you want me to find the Holy Grail?

[@jurassician3725]

Is it possible without deadly horn jab cheese?

[@macklinwright3966]

Wait outside of the time trial, can the deadly horn jab work on even the high ranks but not the boss monsters?

[@shufflebox814]

I think it works on everything that isn't an elder dragon or deviant (and other people's monsties if they have negate OHKO for some reason)

Arachnophobia is a good alternative for Deadly horn jab sine it can one shot as well I believe.

[@97dusk]

I was able to get a 16:13 run not too long ago with a random, neither of us having Deadly Horn Jab. I can only assume they didn't have DHJ because by the time I took down Astalos, my teammate was still battling Brachy. I had already broken Kulve's tail by the time they caught up.

[@larsbohmer6319]

2:44 I checked the Velkhana HH at the Smith and it has NOT Evasion Riff from the Start. Evasion Riff is actually an Skill Book you get through the Quests since I do not have it in the Base Song List for the Velkhana HH. It might be coming from the Music Type, but is not Velkhana HH excludive

I also used Velkana but I’m building a Kushala Daora for the hard mode that is coming out next month because it isn’t weak to fire (Kulve attacks with fire). I’d also recommend only having one ice, one thunder monster and something to ride on with Roar/stealth so you don’t have the issue with wild encounters like Gravious. You can give them good coverage moves with the genes in those elements easily. Good video thank you.
