For the people that don't know. Safi'Jiva IS a raid boss, but during the final update before Rise came out. Capcom lowered the difficulty of Safi'Jiva so that way people can solo it or duo. Techinally, he can solo it without the raid and other people. Same with ATKT or MR KT (KT = Kulve Taroth)

[@Jan0245]

Not realy lowered the difficulty, but added a Player scalling like all other Monsters. So you are right, he can solo saffi

I really want to like MHW, but this is the boss that made me quit after the first time I fought him. If there's one thing I hate in a game is gimmicky bosses that require you to either play near flawlessly, spend over half an hour grinding it down defensively or equipping gear you don't like(either aesthetics or removing good gems for crappy resistance gems) to avoid the gimmick entirely. After way too many gimmicky bosses with stupid mechanics I just wasn't having fun anymore and given how 1 out of every 2 or 3 bosses running up to this guy is just more of the same I don't see this trend ending.

For anyone struggling with brachy or any brute wyvern. Every monster has status and effect thresholds from poison to exhaustion. Some monsters have better or worse thresholds. Brute wyverns as in a non winged large two-legged monsters with two arms and three toes. Their legs take little damage but when broken they take more and a bunch of trip status. You want to play under them and punish tall sweeps and lengthy attack animations. Tall sweeps ingeneral can be handed in one of two ways starting at the base if your more then 50% to the body roll in if less roll out or sideways. If fighting something you don't know yet rolling in is always the best option, you'll be surprised by how many attacks you can avoid by rolling into them.

[@SumitShrivastava17]

Fatalis will so rough due to the timer. Damn thing is punishing if you play too defensive as a solo

[@FireFlawer78]

This will be so funny haha. But i highly doubt he will be able to solo Fatalis.

[@nicholasmarks2106]

Gotta say, that Safi recon fight was pretty hilarious~ He was just getting torn up from head to toe by the red dragon lol! I kept thinking he would learn after the first few times getting hit by his tracking beam to dodge in the opposite direction just before he fired it, but he never did! XD

[@lasaboteur]

It pains me that Asmon uses none of the games mechanics, but he still beat raging bracky way faster than I did. I, am, trash, PepeHands

The Monster hunter scene is all Asmon…Asmon vods, people reacting to Asmon vods…the algorithm has been flooded. I’m here for it.

How did he get so far in 3 weeks? Dam. My boy went hard....

[@Storied_Soul]

I hope he keeps going

[@alxcrvs1908]

Dude he has all mantles+ (ones he can get like temporal+ is MR150) idk if he has the cat abilities.. I took some time for that and he went all in into the game lol that´s dedication (I bet he has almost close to same hours as me into the game and I dont even have all mantles neither the boosters)

[@Darkneostar1]

Just got into watching you Asmon when you started MHW. Its been a blast watchin you experience this game and it got me into watching other vids of you reacting to news in the gaming industry that has been entertaining and informative. It is interesting to see another's perspective from things that I may not agree with on everything to agreeing with various topics you put into words better than I could've. I'm going back to watch you play games that I was interested in to see your reactions to them all. I also can't wait for Dragon's Dogma you might've said you would do in the future. Keep being entertaining.

[@stoney8378]

Rocksteady and health booster is actually a really really good combo

[@swordsman1_messer]

I’m waiting to see how he handles Alatreon. I’ve spent the past week and a half going back at him, and only cleared it three times (never cleared it when I dropped the game).

[@e-shark]

As much I want him to clear it, he won't. He hasn't even begun using the GS entire moveset, understanding the elemental damage portion or even using his slinger.

[@gobokoboobo4620]

​@@e-sharkI bet he will. Solo is so damn easy. You don't need to worry about his Escaton carting your entire team. And GS deal enough damage to kill Alatreon before he get through the three cycle.

[@NextroyerID]

Master rank kulve taroth exists, and with that The kjarr weapons, he only needs a Kjarr legiana and he is good

[@CL-jq1xs]

​@@gobokoboobo4620 do most people do it solo?

[@SumitShrivastava17]

​@@gobokoboobo4620This is taking into account that he isn't carting to attacks + judgements. He doesn't use flashes nor farcasters for replenish, so hornbreaks are going to be rare, if at all.

[@johnnyjay6959]

U did really well for ur first fight with him and being solo. Good shit. He’s tough especially with that aggression and blast slime but it’s a great fight to learn especially doing it solo. U should bring mega nutrients and orange shrooms to craft max potions on the fly. Antiblast goes a long way ya u lose some gem spots but it’s one less thing to worry about. U can use Nulberries to get rid of blast blight also

[@makermars]

Lucky gamer and Good Palico. Mcconnell still work so hard. Good evasive for Asmon. Just hit and run, survive is key, for now. lol

[@nucklechutz9933]

"Oh no! Now a whole NEW monster has appeared to threaten the village!" "Again? That's like the 50th one this month." "Listen up all 20 of you everybody team! I've got a plan and it's so crazy it just might work. We're gonna send in ONE man, his cook, and a cute little kitty cat." "What?" "And he's gonna search the last area the beast was spotted. He's gonna stumble across this monster in some sort of, dramatic, cinematically impactful way, and they're gonna have themselves a dust up, and our hunter's gonna kick it's ass." "That's not a plan that's a-" "BUT THEN the monster's gonna get up for some reason, and THAT'S when one or more of us will show up just in the nick of time to scare off the beast. Then we'll come back, have some dinner, and the next day we'll send out ONE MAN, ONE COOK and ONE CAT, and THAT'S when the hunter will capture the beast! Now let's MOVE OUT!"

[@treytison1444]

Even though Asmon has been speeding through this game and skipping a lot of side equipment and gameplay mechanics, this just goes to show you that the number one most important thing to figure out above all else is positioning in fights. You can see him getting better at it through this series of videos.

[@nuke2099]

He hasn't been getting better at all. He has done one strategy since the beginning. Tank through with Divine Blessing and hope his slow TCS lands while the cat heals him. It has worked so far because 5th gen MH specifically MHW is actually mostly "easy"

[@prohanta9360]

as much as i enjoy the stream, he's not tbh. he has tank build, like all out defense. not positioning at all since he pretty much attack anything as long he's safe without exploit monster weakness while GS is built for that, but most of the time his equipment tanking the damage, he spent a lot of potion and palico mostly also the one who aggroing the monster (when got the arggo, he run away). he plays exactly like souls game not as a hunter, since beginning

[@sakuranohana1014]

That's what I thought.he relied so much on his tanky build which I think won't work against Ala and Faty.He beat Raging Brachy and F.Rajang in 40 minutes.Fatalis has 30 minutes time limit.I am not sure he can beat him.

[@Zyart]

@@nuke2099 He's tanked through everything, and whined about every single status effect in the game, even though negating literally all of them is stupid easy, but he "doesn't want to have to do that."

I must admit he's really competent when dodging I frames. In that furious rajang hunt he did some amazing rolls and avoided attacks that i didn't know you could i frame like the super enraged dunk cause it has 2 hitboxes

Asmon after facing difficulty: This boss is badly designed. And no, I won't try to work around the obstacles, I'll complain instead

People aren’t realizing that he’s doing all this with a pretty weak sword and armor, he took 39 mins beating brachy with a relatively weak sword for where he’s at

You can remove blast by rolling?? Its a shame for me for having +1200 hrs of gameplay by not knowing this lol

The fact that in his first try against raging brach. He picked up on a few of his attack patterns...Asmon is kinda good :D

Probably gonna get stuck at Alatreon

[@esca_nor3846]

@@bullymaguire6937 yeah, he definitely won't beat alatreon with that amor set and GS. 40min for raging brachy while alatreon nukes every 6 minutes when you haven't dealed enough elemental damage. Even for GS veterans probably the toughest fight in the game, just because you won't get enough elemental dmg output. Possible, if he would be able to kill him before his 3rd nuke

[@japzy76]

He has the potential to kill fatalis by mechanics, but i can't wait till he fights arch tempered.Velkhana.

[@arisenomega]

considering he was this close to just uninstalling the entire game over regular velkhana.............. I wish him luck

[@sakuranohana1014]

He needs to play more aggressive against fatalis and AT velk because of 30 minute time limit. Imo AT velk is much easier than Faty because his head is easier to hit.

[@tryston0052]

Glad i could make it on time 😁

[@HansangVibration]

asmon if you are so good at rolling you should play Bow, that revolves about that concept (being untouchable while continuously hitting the monster). GS is more about perfect positioning and knowing the moveset of the monster to punish it.

[@Sovereign_Senpai]

God dame, this was so entertaining 100% agree on the blast proof set.

[@jillytaboga5552]

He need to learn to use all the hunters tools: mantles, flashpods, traps, barrelbombs. That would make the game so much fun for him.

[@fsilveyra6469]

Asmon: uses the slowest weapon also Asmon: "Why can't I land two hits?????"

[@regencyrow1867]

He's played 137 hours?! No way. I never, ever thought he'd make it this far!

[@matthewstrunk5581]

I wish Asmon would use his non charge attacks and flinch shot especially for these extremely aggressive bosses. I feel like doing those 2 things would probably alleviate most of his problems fighting them.

[@Puppetmaster2005]

Well hes gonna have to learn it to have even a sliver of hope to beating Alatreon lol

​@@Puppetmaster2005except if he can kill it under 5 minute. But I doubt it. Considering his current build that focuses more on raw, I'm gonna bet Alatreon will be his wall. At least for a few tries.

[@exod4]

Asmongold will only even bother with allowing himself to begin to learn new things after his current tactics cause him excessive grief

[@Puppetmaster2005]

@@exod4 That's actually a very healthy way of learning though. We humans learn better from trying on our own and making mistakes rather than from learning theoretical concepts and copying others. Copying will only ever get you to an equal level of skill to the person you copied, whereas if you learn something by yourself, you might discover something entirely new and redefine a new meta. That's what REALLY differentiates the average gamer for the truly great ones.

Keep in mind, he hasn’t been playing to the monsters weaknesses at all. He just picks what he thinks is the “strongest” sword and uses that until he gets a “better” one. And it’s been working for him BUT, he absolutely isn’t playing to his potential.
