[@DavCon1990]

As a new Hunter, hearing all the different descriptions of the black armor makes me wonder if it’s not just Fatalis that’s causing all the side effects, but also the souls of long dead hunters who failed to slay Fatalis. Imagine losing your life to it, having it melt your armor along with you inside it into its own skin and now your mind is stuck with all the others who failed in a hive mind, who knows how long your soul might be stuck in there, and then some rando Hunter comes along, does the job you couldn’t and then wears Fatalis’ skin, which has your own inside it.

[@adddress]

This as an idea i had is you start turning into the Fatalis as you continue to wear the armor. For example when you sleep are awaken with the roar of the fatalis but see no fatalis, all you see is your armor. This continues until you stop wearing the armor. Then you have dreams of past hunters that tried to slay the fatalis trying to convince you to wear the armor because when you wore the armor you were faster and so one night after losing in a hunt wear the armor feel the strength and power just then you see all the past hunters but this time instead of talking they are fleeing from you. Screaming for their lives as you kill them, you try to take off the armor but you cant you made the foolish assumption that you killed the fatalis. It cuts to a forest and all you hear is the roar of the fatalis in the night

This armours amazing hey hunter2 watch this”hunter1 (Mounts the monster and cuts off its tail he does cool stuff you get the point they kill the rathalos ) “Wow your a beast in that armour well help me carve this up” (THey carve it up) “Heres your half” hunter2 Hunter1 looks at his half and a voice in his head speaks to him “didn’t we do all the work why are we only getting half ” Hunter1 speaks up “ hey man i did most of the work and you did nothing”hunter1 Hunter2 chuckles “maybe next time” He looks at hunter1’s serious face “Wait are serious you don’t even have a single piece of the armor The voice in hunter1’s head speaks “you know if you wanted to we could get everything by killing him” disturbed by this thought he responds quickly “It was just a joke calm down” they return to the village in silence “Wow check this armour out”hunter2 says ecstatic hitting a pose in his new armour. Hunter1 looks at him the voice in his head stating “that armour is pathetic compared to us” “yea it is” whispers hunter1 smugly his thoughts are interrupted by hunter2 hey “wanna go on another quest to teat out my new armour maybe a khezu”. “Oh yea sure” hunter1 responds as if snapping out of a trance. they go out hunt the monster together before hunter2 kills the beast with one final blow “Whats you’re problem that was my kill” hunter 1 yells “What its not a big deal the monsters dead isn’t it” hunter2 “Not a big deal” hunter1 shoves hunter2 hard “Hey what was that for why are you acting this way” hunter2 asked suprise “Oh im sorry i just i dunno “ hunter1 doesn’t say another word while helping hunter2 carve the beast and on the way back home “I think im going to call it a night see ya” hunter1 mumbled “Yea see ya” hunter2 responds both walking to their own house “Maybe i got to little sleep thats why I’m agitated, well I’ll sleep it off then.” Hunter1 yawns before jumping in bed where he enters a dream. “Wow you did it you slayed the Fatalis” “Who was that where am I”hunter1 frantically “Oh hi my names hunter0 nice to meet you oh and were in your mind”

Even fatalis doesn’t act any more intelligent than any other basic elder or monster during his fight or cutscenes in iceborne and this is the latest fatalis lore we have access to. Even ignoring this shown me where I’m wrong. Show me where it states what happened to the old civilisation in the games. An actual concrete answer.

I think Kirin is only considered an elder dragon due to its unique characteristics that makes it hard to classify it as anything so they just called it a Elder dragon. Its really just a lighting unicorn with attitude but the the lightning Gorilla is stronger so it should be in the same class as a Antek or that super large Popo Guardian monster honestly

@@ChandlerJC Before World, Elder Dragon was basically just used as a catch-all for monsters that break the classification system. Elder Dragons in general don't have a lot of similarities with each other, besides the fact that somewhere around 60% look vaguely draconic. The Dah'ren Mohran and Jhen Mohran are great examples of this. What the fuck are they? No one fucking knows.

There's lots of different interpretations of all of this. Truth is the information on any of the Black Dragons is very scarce and alot of it might even be outdated and/or headcanons that have become popular in the community.

..still can't defeat it by myself. Managed to take him down twice and even with a 4 man team and I still had a hard time fighting him. 2 weeks and I'm still trying solos and doing it with randoms. No personal win and no increase wins with randoms and fellow hunters on my local discord channel. Probably the most challenging part is, keeping check of your teammates hp and yours too. Damaging it seems pretty easy but teammates sometime overextends their attack and immediately get caught by its fire attacks leading to faints. Though honestly, I can't really blame my randos, just like me, I know it's probably their hardest hunt too. Tomorrow's gonna be week 3 hope I can take him down this week. If not, I'll keep doing until I finally take him down for good. As much as frustrating as it is, this is the spirit of MH, you faint, you try again. The reward? The feeling of success of taking down such a ferocious legend of a beast. Materials are just second (though very important too). I'll keep trying! Edit: Shout out to my local discord hunters who helped me get some wins, veteran through and through. Still no wins though this week still. EDIT: FUCKING DID IT, well the 3 man crew and I did it! 3 straight wins!!!! Tried it solo, and I'm getting used to it, I was able to break his both horns on one of my solo runs but still fail to take him down. I was using Safi's Shatteraxe but since I got some evil eyes, I immediately crafted True Fatalis Axe with Affinity and Health Regen Aug. Always come short but I'mma keep hunting him till I take him down solo!

[@BIackFrieza]

Good luck!

[@zo_leo8401]

The best way to beat him is to only worry about yourself. You have to trust your teammates to heal themselves excluding the cheese moments. You can’t be greedy and at the same time you can’t be passive. You need to stay right up on him at all times, and this is a good fight that lets you practice your invincible frames from dodges, rolls, and dives. The biggest mistake I still see ppl do is is they don’t focus his head every chance they get. You need to break his horns at least once. It becomes a totally different fight. If you break it twice it becomes 10X easier. You should also save all the faints for the 3rd phase to include safeguard/ moxie etc etc.If you are playing with randoms and they faint in the 1st two phase more than likely you will not beat him and I would just abandon the quest. He is a tough monster on solo just because of the amount of aggression and you will be the sole focus. I personally think it’s best with a duo and it’s easier with 4 ppl if everyone can do enough damage and play safe enough. When I do 4 players I can go sometimes 30 seconds when he is not focusing me because someone else has his attention. Leaving me to soften him up and deal damage. Since he been out for a little while now most experienced players already farmed him, so you are left with the newer players trying to fight him now. Good luck man

Fatalis: This hunter will make a fine addition to my collection

[@songbird6414]

Haven’t seen the video yet, but I have a personal theory that Fatalis is made so far more powerful than any other elder simply because of how god damned hot its fire burns. The power in its chest is something that could legitimately rival the sun. Its heat can melt solid steel walls, and its force can blow down stone and metal alike. This devastating fire, paired with its deep rage and terrifying intelligence, is what makes it such a devastating god of a dragon.

[@hugo-pg5tv]

Bruh steel melt at 1200 Celsius so not even close to the sun safi'jiiva would be hotter to since he melts crystals in a millisecond and crystals melt at like 4000 Celsius

[@songbird6414]

@@hugo-pg5tv just a theory, my guy. I’m still sticking with it bc Fatalis also pulls out his fire so casually, whereas Safi’s attack is more of a special last minute thing. Plus, I didn’t think he was melting the crystals, just simply blowing them away with the force of his attack, which is something we’ve arguably seen other monsters do. You cannot undermine a dragon destroying an entire country. You just can’t. Maybe Safi is capable of it, maybe he isn’t, but we know for sure that Fatalis is.
