[MHWI PS4] Alatreon (Ice Active) - Switch Axe - 6'49"90 - TA Wiki Rules

[@DepartedHunter]

6:20 is the literal definition of a power move if I ever saw one.

[@TheOneTheOnly-wi3du]

that made my jaw drop

[@clonkei]

I SAID THE SAME HAHAHAHA

[@cluckoftheduck]

6:17 "and THIS!" 6:18 "What's he doing?" 6:20 "is.... to go..... even further beyond!" 6:22 "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

[@samisme123]

When they said get your healing items ready, they didn’t mean Alatreon.

[@silv2469]

Dude that zsd while the escaton was amazing

[@bernardogabriel6200]

6:14 most beautiful thing I've seen

[@jcbwrytm]

the first time I see speedrun still attack during the escaton judgement

[@gillandalearts3041]

Just wow

[@jackzary]

thank you for this move, i tried this move,the most satisfying feeling. the zsd escaton is the best.

[@pransis]

6:20 Alatreon: Am I a joke to you?

[@caceres-olazo2951]

*YES*

[@hengkyleonhart]

Been using SA for sooo long and i know this is master piece Those hop are close to none i-frame and you does it perfectly, good job!

[@hengkyleonhart]

Also perfectly timed zsd is the key combine with health regen you can withstand escaton with zsd alone

[@Benjiboi]

Thank you! To be honest, evade window 3 helped a lot in consistently dodging his attacks. Without it, I probably wouldn't have been able to make a time like this.

[@gregorybutcher9555]

@@hengkyleonhart for real? Did someone make a video of that already?

[@MaipuruSyrup]

Alatreon moves are easy to hop I just did my First SA run of Alatreon recently and had no issues dodging anything with Evade-4 you can even hop through the flying dragon charge. Although I have done a lot of Alatreon before so there's that too but with good timing I have dodged things with evade-1/2 before so it's possible with good timing but Evade 4 is most comfy.

[@XonixDerps]

@@MaipuruSyrup evade 3 - 4 same for me. After finding out math wise its the weapon with the least i frame on dodge..? (sword mode ithink)

[@alfonso64122]

Not even using mantles, he is the real monster in that cave

[@yumegaaru3919]

This is more impressive than other speedruns other there.

[@hanajak]

That zsd during Judgement was a 9000% big brain move

[@prawn1717]

What an amazing run, it was already super impressive but to keep attacking during Eschaton and just relying on health regen? so good!

[@paulrascano1602]

6:22 the super nova of Swaxe. :D

[@abyss7539]

Just got into switchaxe recently and got recommended this. If the creator still sees this, that would be amazing. But seriously, that ZSD into escaton judgement to survive with the regen, while also not using any mantles, what an absolutely cracked run. One of the coolest runs I’ve seen ever for mhw, you should be proud!

[@osvaldoprado9906]

6:22 Must be the most epic video secuence out of all KZbin. Congrats man!

[@AcediaIX]

Swag blade being Swag is literally so swag

[@moviegamelife]

One of the most badass Hunts i have ever seen.

[@espasmemuscular]

Even with ev window tthose hops are tight, amazing

[@TheEvanDude112]

DAMMIT! I never even **thought** of countering Escaton Judgement with ZSD! And I’ve even used a build I called “ZSD Vampire” on some hunts!

[@jalool350]

You're the SA player I aspire to be. Well done!

[@Benjiboi]

I think there are bettere SA player than me out there. But thanks for the kind words!

[@peacekeeper865]

4:03 wait what

[@Benjiboi]

When Alatreon shift to the Dragon mode there is a safe spot just a meter in front of his head.

[@peacekeeper865]

@@Benjiboi oh wow did not know that. Will keep it in mind when hunting him, Thank you

[@jeffsmithiv7235]

Wow, even after 500 hours maining SA I picked up all kinda of tips watching you. Excellent sir, that was awesome

[@gillandalearts3041]

Capcom just created a new monster. With special participation of alatreon

[@dzzzzzt]

Good work. As someone who loves the Switch Axe but is not nearly as good as this with it, watching how beautifully and cleverly you utilize the weapon is really impressive. Slow clap. Inspirational. Alateron didn't stand a chance.

[@screamer22222]

Una run bellissima. Vederti dodgare è emozionante, bravissimo

[@immanuelaj]

Omg. I've never been able to I-frame through the Dragon Slam attack. That is not easy! Getting hit by that attack is insta death in most cases too!

[@wasted1390]

are you using evade window 5?

[@immanuelaj]

@@wasted1390 Nope. And I've stopped playing this game for a while now. (Comment was made 3 years ago).

[@wasted1390]

@@immanuelaj didn't realize how long ago this comment was made. Would recommend you put evade window on your builds if you get back into this game

[@RyukenAtrineas]

I love the SA, but I just can never seem to time dodging right. Seems like you have to dodge literally as you're being hit? That's some pin-point precision! Bravo!

[@marukiddo1416]

what a run!!! 1:52 and i didnt know canceling ZSD early can prevent the knock back animation

[@BigDBrian]

yeah most people cancel it early. though in some situations it's better to do full version.

[@xRichi94]

insane run mate

[@jxff2000]

Alatreon would fit right in in a Godzilla movie.

[@FoxInvictus]

4:13 Cinematic Heavy Slam

[@jorino2320]

Good job! Nice run dude

[@FrancescoAltair]

Grande Benji! Bellissima run! 😲😲

[@Jack-dj3in]

Can someone explain 3:42 to me where he didn't get knocked off by the electricity from Alatreons horns?

[@Benjiboi]

The answer is: Capcom strange choice of design. If you clutch the head and he does the electricity you will be knocked off (like at the opening of the quest), but it will not happen if you enter in the ZSD animation. Strange, but useful for a SA user!

[@disillusionedmind9720]

Nice! Shoot for the stars mate!

[@InsulinRunner]

I came here for tips on beating this bad boy solo with switchaxe. Thanks for the new ideas.

[@Shadow_T0]

E alla fine il sub 7 è arrivato GG Benji ♥️

big brain escaton judgment healing with health augment

[@dcshiori]

What a great run mate! 😬

[@CelphTitled7]

HA! i found you lol, actually really random

[@auliasa6602]

Super late but question! Of all iceborne alatreon switch axe speedrun i watched so far, it's always safi's power SA that being used and with only a moderare level of elemental boost too. How does this works actually? Do elemental damage has minimum influence (like it doesnt need to be super high, as long as we're using an elemental weapon) in this quest? What if one use power elemental phial againw alatreon?

[@ShankyTenLP]

@Benji-boi can you please tell me what your build is for this run? I'm impressed by this insane regen while Escadoran Judgement is ticking

[@Benjiboi]

I showed the set at 7:05. With a health regeneration augment and if you pass at least one elemental check (at least two if you use a SA with elemental phials) you can survive the Eschaton Judgment with a ZSD on the Alatreon's head. You just have to pay attention to the timing. You must start the ZSD right.before as you start taking damage from the Eschaton Judgment

[@ParkJunHa0321]

Could there be better equipment setting(build)? I mean, with the dragon set... Thank you in advance, and thank you for your great run movie. (I hope I'm saying properly / English is hard T.T)

[@Benjiboi]

Yes. When I made this run was before the Fatalis meta. So the best set for facing Alatreon now is 4 pieces of Fatalis + Escadora arms. For general use I suggest using the Kjarr weapons to get the Elemental check easier.

[@茶茶-x5x]

Good job man

[@GabrielLima-gh8wk]

Its the Health Regen 3, for Life Steal effect?

[@Cajunspirit]

This takes waaay more skill than a long sword

[@tuigg8]

Awesome stuff

[@leslierobinson8724]

well done.

[@seileen1234]

Insane

[@steakfritnivertos2743]

How did he do that at 6:20

[@KHfanguy]

How did you mount him on the first try??? Wow that's so cool lol

[@drmacho8046]

Coudl u please tell me why you dont use dragon...I thought that he was weak to it the whole fight

[@Benjiboi]

Alatreon takes almost none dragon elemental damage when is in Fire/Ice mode. Furthermore the Dragon HZV are not that great even when is Dragon mode. So usually the best option is Fire/Ice weapon, even if you want to proc only one elemental check like my case. Anyhow, Alatreon is not so weak to element. His elemental HZV are bad, but his raw HZV are very good. So for a weapon like SA the best option in a speedrun is to invest in raw damage and have a little amount of element, enough to proc one elemental check.

[@drmacho8046]

Wow....that was real indepth. Thanks, this should help me lots with my Ala hunts, I never realized dragon was not good against him.

[@axetim9472]

i love your build

[@ParkJunHa0321]

Your character looks pretty

[@Alpacapatte]

I'm new to Monster Hunter but could someone explain to me why is gettin health Back while hittin the Monster?

[@Benjiboi]

Health regen augment for the weapon, It allows you to gain health when you hit a monster. You can unlock It in the endgame

Correct me if im wrong but i thought TA wiki rules stated that mounting wasn't allowed? Edit: I just checked and maybe they changed it cause im not seeing anywhere that its prohibited, but i swear at one time no mounts were allowed.

They are allowed on MHW:IB

I might be a little stupid but how are you healing from attacks only when you're critical?

I didn't understand the question. Can you rephrase It please?

[@parsalonglastname4854]

@@Benjiboi you were healing up at certain points of the hunt when he was shooting ice or fire at you. Your health would lower but then you would gain it all back super fast. I was just curious as to what was causing that effect.

add slots to the weapon, its also an augment

[@Scythe697]

Add slot 3 times if the augment u'll be using use 3 slots. Materials for the augment mostly region in GL lv7

Yep many error, but real good run, I think 6' or under sub 6' is possible, but remember you do a real good run hunter

[@BuhamutZeo]

It wasn’t about showing a quick run, it was all about healing through escalaton with the Healing augments alone. There’s a reason he killed him a few hits afterward. Dude didn’t even tenderize the head at the beginning when he had the chance.

[@deletus-k7w]

I'm stupid so what build u using

[@Benjiboi]

I showeded the set after slaying the Alatreon. But that set was before the Fatalis meta, so it's no longer optimal
