MHGU: EX Deadeye Garuga (Valor Hammer)

[@joekitoeki]

Just found your channel and I really like your "ordinary" playstyle that people can relate to. Carting and drinking potions like a madman but still fighting on! Reminds me of myself :D Also love that you made it work with your kind of crappy charm. Very impressed! I have killed 3 EX solo, but I honestly struggle so much with even unlocking this one. Any tips for Deadeye G5 quest with 2 deadeyes and a silverwind? I play 100 % solo btw

[@caolanberg3837]

This fight was definitely a struggle! Was the first EX monster I tried and I kinda got wrecked 😂. I do have some actual good runs on my channel but some monsters like this one are just too hard for me to do an actual good run lol. I would say to try adept style. It might take some getting used to but Deadeye and Silverwind are both very predictable. I get hit a lot less with adept hammer but it’s not as fun as valor for me so I almost never use it. Also I have better charms now so maybe I’ll revisit the fight sometime with a better set 😆😆

@@caolanberg3837 Yeah I wrote my comment before I saw your newer ones - I see now that you have improved a lot both in skill and equipment! Very cool and inspiring seeing your valor hammer vs mizutsune. I recently forced myself to learn my first valor style weapon (hammer) just because I wanted to get A rank on every arena quest solo (I managed to do it, but yian garuga gave me a hard time :)) I haven´t had so much fun with a weapon in a long time. Makes me happy to think I have around 6 weapons left AND a lot of cool styles to discover in this game. Anyway I'm rambling - just wanted to say I like your videos and it is inspiring to see something other than close-to-perfect runs here on youtube. I will try Deadeye G5 soon and your suggestion is kind of what I thought. Adept hammer is my go-to safe weapon but I tend to run out the clock or get close to it when I use it in the harder quests. We'll see how it goes!

@@joekitoeki Honestly unless you are a god, the G5 quests are hell to solo. No shame in doing multi for those. When solo, I always try to run fortify and insurance so I can cart twice and still be left with 2 carts and they STILL take forever! I don’t find those quests fun at all lol. And yeah I’ve spent a ton of time fighting Mizu, like a couple of hours a week for the last year practicing all the weapons on him lol! I’m usually terrible when I start fighting a monster but amazing what practice can do! Valor hammer is so fun man, over the last couple of years I’ve probably put about 1k hours in this game and I’d say 600-700 of those are with Valor hammer. It’s the only weapon style I just never get sick of no matter how much I play. And yes, perfect runs are very rare here 😆 I consider myself a casual player, with the occasional tryhard runs vs monsters I really like 😛

You did very good because even tho u carted 2x times u won and thats what matters. I am not able to solo Deadeye ex yet so keep it up and keep ur head up, Your a true hammer main and i respect that, Hell you even solo so many monsters just with hammer haha keep it up Caolan ^^

[@caolanberg3837]

Simon Shura Thanks for the nice comment! I think for us non super pro players just beating him is good enough so I will be satisfied with this lol. I’m sure you will get him if you keep at it! What weapon/style are you using? I see a lot of runs using bow against regular Garuga, not sure if it’s good against this one though. And yes I will always use hammer!! It kinda sucks for a lot of endgame monsters in this game but I use it anyway cause it’s the most fun for me. Fun >>> kill times. Looking forward to Iceborne though, it’s actually pretty strong in that game 🙂

[@loafofbread9400]

Hammer is nice solo since aggro towards you = head facing you

[@caolanberg3837]

Loaf of Bread I agree it’s great for regular monsters, definitely my favourite! I don’t think it’s the best for most of the deviants though, some of them have pretty ridiculous stagger and KO limits, making hammer feel a bit weak :/

[@riverguavs6139]

This fight is basically a "do not get hit by the enemy" game he one shots you by doing the "mega dash" and the consistent beak attack can make you dive so much so much that he might end it off with shoving the ground out of the ground to kill you this fight has made me have a run for my money so much that i had to run away alot, and he manages to get me still in G-RANK. Because i love deadeye, it made me make a build for Yian Garuga in MHS2 with Grimclaw, Bloodbath, and More Moves.

[@AzryHammer]

Yea bro playing with adept hammer against ex deadeye is more fun ^^

[@caolanberg3837]

Yeah this run was pretty rough 😂 still had fun doing it I love valor hammer

[@sleeplesswhipdcreme_nosleep]

The way your ran in to try and knock him out of the sky reminds me of something that happened to me while fighting a normal Yian Garuga. I use Charge Blade and he had just tailflipped. I did an SAED (Super Amped Elemental Discharge) to try and catch him landing after the flip. He then pulled his "Gotcha, fool" flying far back to line up another flip, making my first swing miss. Then, he flew back in for the second tailflip and my second swing, the one with all the actual power behind it, then sniped him in the head while coming down and knocked him to the ground. Sometimes, luck is the only thing saving you...

[@christopherp8023]

That damage is insane btw

[@caolanberg3837]

Christopher P That stupid rock one shot!! 😡

[@KENDOXU]

Took u 27 minutes, while i took 50+ failed hunts and counting

[@Starscream3225]

Are planning to fight deadeye ex again in near future

[@caolanberg3837]

Takemikazuchi321 I dunno about soon. Playing Nioh right now and some other games. Probably eventually though he’s a pretty fun fight

[@Starscream3225]

That amazing does deadeye get exhausting every 5 min ?

[@caolanberg3837]

Takemikazuchi321 I’m not sure how often he gets exhausted sorry, I only tried this quest a few times. It might be every 5 mins though, seems to happen a lot

[@Starscream3225]

Caolan Berg if this true this could be perfect chance to damage him

[@christopherp8023]

EX!! Ooooohhhh!! It is possible!

[@Starscream3225]

Watch you play give me big tear 😭after I also clear deadeye EX

[@caolanberg3837]

Takemikazuchi321 Awesome, congrats! 😁😁 How long did it take just curious? My run is pretty bad and could be a lot faster lol

[@Starscream3225]

Caolan Berg 25 min like you and with only one cart

[@caolanberg3837]

Takemikazuchi321 Yeah I carted a lot, 3 times I think 😂 I actually like regular garuga more than this guy. Congrats again though, EX’s are no joke good job!! 👍👍😊

[@Starscream3225]

You know this is 11 deviant ex clear after that I also clear Silverwind ex that make 12 deviant ex clear>:)

[@caolanberg3837]

Wow that’s awesome. I gave up on deviants, haha they’re too hard for me with hammer. What weapons do you use?

[@Rosettaxv]

STOP HAMMER TIME

[@caolanberg3837]

Love X2! Need to fight more of these deviant things. Wish I could pay someone to level them up for me I’m so lazy 😢

[@amarrion387]

This wasn’t a solo because you carted two times:/

[@caolanberg3837]

Lol fair enough. This was so long ago, my first EX and I’ll admit it was pretty bad 😖

[@amarrion387]

Oh ok

[@amarrion387]

EX s are hard

[@amarrion387]

Damn...

[@caolanberg3837]

@@amarrion387 I can do a little better now but still get wrecked half the time 😂. A lot easier if you play something like valor LS or HBG...
