MHW Iceborne | Silver Rathalos solo (Dual Blades) - 3'48 (TA rules)

Love the Silver Rathalos fight in Iceborne. He can be a bit of a pain to speedrun tho, especially pre DB buff on PC. Luckily most of my early claw attacks connected in this attempt so I managed to dunk him and break his head early which saved a lot of time.
TA rules: mhw.wiki-db.com/howtosolota_en (tl;dr no mantles, no cats, no traps, no flinch shot into wall, no environmental damage/traps etc.)

I will never forget that "speedrun" of hyper silverlos in mhgen with gunlance that took over 40 friggin' minutes. We've come a long way.

[@manikaditha6308]

Hyper hp is cancer, but its perfect for 4 players i think. Normal monsters would just stood there and take the beating even if theres only 2 players.

[@bigthecat4276]

Can't believe it took them 15 years to make Silver Rathalos' fight actually really fun, and not a total slogfest you reluctantly accept

@@bigthecat4276 and then Zenith Rathalos happens and all hell breaks loose

[@bigthecat4276]

@@ShatteredGlass916 I'd prefer if Zenith species stayed forgotten personally. They were neat in Frontier, sure, but that's the only placed they belonged. They really have no place in the main series. As they'd get tiring really fast. Because, in Monster Hunter, when something is really fuckin strong, it stands out, whereas in Frontier, everything is strong enough to blow up the entire room at some point, and you eventually get desensitized to it, or you have to keep outdoing every previous addition to the roster, and it then reaches a point where it just becomes ridiculous. Just my two cents. However, if you like em, then hell yeah mang, don't let my opinon sway yours, you enjoy what you want.

What's the strongest version of Rathalos? (I started with World)

[@bigthecat4276]

@@MyFederico96 In the main series, it's a tie between Dreadking Rathalos, and Silver Rathalos. However counting spin offs, it's easily Zenith Rathalos.

Oh boy I absolutely LOVE that all the best elemental options for DS are literally BONED. Who would want to be able to tell whether I'm using Fire, Water or Thunder duals without squinting at the screen until you see a bit of fur on the handle. Also love how the title monster of the ICEBORNE expansion, an Elder Dragon that can control the weather, flash freeze wyverns and has a billion MASSIVE AoE ice attacks has less than half the ice element of a random ice fish with like a single ice themed attack.

[@Nerxual]

What, no Rajang Layered Mod? Watching you iron this run out, and man-handle Silverlos made me want to get better. Keep up the great hunts!

[@animelytical8354]

The openings being created are marvellous

[@ASAINsensation]

I'm always feel a little weird when I see speedruns with full fatalis armor but seeing you with silver rath and jyura blade makes me know 100% that this is all skill, great run!

[@Alternum]

Any tips on positioning vs goldian/slos? Been trying to get more consistent dunks on them but can't seem to bait the proper attacks (e.g. goldian's vertical tail flip, slos's mid-air stomp, etc). Or is it all rng?

[@CantaPerMe]

Stay right in front of her face when she does the "triple" fireball to bait the vertical talflip instead of the 3rd fireball or diagonal tailflip (she does the latter if you're standing in front of her but too far away) As for Silverlos' mid air stomp, he usually does it after certain attacks, usually after a backhop fireball (which you can bait by standing in front of his face after a spin) or when you're behind him after a charge attack (not guaranteed and afaik only works when he's enraged). Sometimes he also does a normal fireball after a backhop fireball first before doing the aerial stomps. There might be more ways for him to combo into that attack but those come to my mind off the top of my head

[@Alternum]

@@CantaPerMe Wow, thanks for the tips! I figured there was something wrong with my goldian runs since I kept getting diagonal flips after the 2 fireballs. Keep up the good work, love watching your runs!

[@barrybeakdriver]

The fact that you can smack him out of the air now with DUAL BLADES of all things really says a lot. Ya done did good Capcom, ya done did good.

[@taa347]

Came looking for a speedrun on Silver Rath with dual blades specifically because I figured it'd be one of the harder match ups with how much he likes to be in the air. Turns out it doesn't matter if you're just that good

[@gtdx20]

The demonic dance of crit

[@대전설GLGD]

0:27 How did you tenderize it by 2 claw attack+1 weapon attack?

[@CantaPerMe]

I don't know the exact numbers so I'll use some made up numbers to try and explain the concept and how it works. For starters, let's assume softening works like a status and that in order to soften a body part, you need to contribute 100 points towards that "status". Dual Blades are light weapons, so they need 2 claw attacks to tenderize but that doesnt necessarily mean that their claw attack does 50 points towards softening, but it's somewhere between 50 and 100 (for simplicity's sake, let's say one claw attack with DB does 60 points towards softening). The claw attack itself also does points towards softening, we can assume that 3 claw attacks do at least a total of 50 or more points, which is how light weapons can tenderize after one clutch claw. Let's assume it does 20 per hit, and if Dual Blades do let's say 60 points towards softening with one clutch claw, you can do 2 claw attacks for a total of 40 and one attack with Dual Blades for the remaining 60 points. This doesn't always work though because Dual Blades do multiple hits and if you miss some of them you might not reach the 100 point threshold. Hope this helped you understand how it worked despite the awkward explanation.

[@대전설GLGD]

@@CantaPerMe So when the full-hit goes in, the total number of wounds can reach to 60 ok thx 😃

[@CantaPerMe]

@@대전설GLGD Exactly, it's easier to do consistently against bigger targets like Deviljho's body but for something smaller like Rathalos' head there's some luck involved 😅

[@nam18x]

@@CantaPerMe holy, this is the first time I know about a light weapon that does 60% tenderizing build up instead of 50% for the claw weapon attack. And I just tested it, you're right.

[@aamr7434]

Awesome run Canta! As someone who hasn’t played World, what changes did they make to Silver Rath to actually make him a fun fight? Does he not bounce every freaking attack anymore, or something else?

[@CantaPerMe]

He doesnt fly 24/7, his attacks actually have openings that you can exploit and he has a variety of combos that can change depending on your positioning, rewarding you for knowing how to position yourself properly.

[@aamr7434]

Dunno, I haven't looked too deeply into the Royal Palace DBs yet because I didn't want to farm for Great Spiritvein Gems without knowing if they'd be better or not so I just went with Jyura DBs since I already had them ready to be used.

@@CantaPerMe Fair enough, thanks for the input

[@JoeTurok]

Mate, I have a suggestion for you. With your amazing set of Dual Blade skills, it would be good to have a video where you can educate novice DB users on your approach with the weapon and good tips to help us DB users battle efficiently. I main DB and just looking at your videos, it shows how many moves you pull off differently during each fight. So it would be good if you could make a video specifically around tips that can help us out. Cheers!
