[@NCHProductions]

still always know this animation is borderline irrelevant cause this was done during the free to play beta-test trial period before they officially launch the game and it was where you are forced to use default gear and speed runners(or just the best optimized setup) swap out the anjanath torso with hunters torso to get increased atk up, Along with the jank in the hitboxes that plague the beta test until they fix/patch it in the main game. Also iirc, their updated defender gear given to new players in the game make it a even easier cakewalk I think. And also you never fight nerg in the wildspire waste at all in the main storyline.

[@nestroit5010]

[@johnk1448]

Nergigante is still one of my all time faves; actually enjoyed farming him 4367x or so

[@Demilak]

Been a long time, I think I remember on insect glaive I could be WAY above him and half his attacks would still hit me. Pissed me off.

[@22Arcana]

Lol same, to the point I was basically trying to speed run his ass. Was getting sub 2 min clears I think (been several years since I played) on Tempered Nergi Edit: Meant sub 2mins, not 1min. Fat fingered on my phone and didn't notice.

[@SuperZakaru]

Man, I had to kill Nergi 43 times to get one Gem drop.. and I was spamming gold missions with several rewards. Like it was honestly depressing. I wasnt even happy that I finally got the gem cause I had already been beaten down and defeated for the last 20+ kills...

[@SuperZakaru]

​@22Arcana under 1 min would be nuts but I believe that speed running channel who used to speed run mhw bosses did a sub 1 min. But I believe that was with a fully party not solo. The fastest I ever did was a 2min 47 sec nergi kill with Bow. But this was pre expansion.

He will do it until he beats the game and then wait for new content to come out

[@ngnht7988]

Hope he watches the weapon and mechanics tutorials *looking at that slinger ammo*

[@flackenstien]

2:45 This is literally the last step in the game's tutorial, where it teaches you how to actually dodge properly. Turn away and jump. If your back is to a mob as you run away, jumping results in a belly flop. As long as you stay on the ground it grants invulnerability from most attacks.

[@LeetTron5000]

most? is it not all attacks? Invincible until animation ends and you get control again.

[@safijivvaboi5081]

@@Rainsoakedcoat your back must be to the attack.. if the projectile is about to hit you from offscreen behind you and you happen to be moving forwards then holding the dodge button will do the dive. But there MUST always be some attack behind you. Yes it can be in any direction technically, but because of the condition of an attack having to be behind you, 99% of the time you do the dive you will be running backwards because the monster should be in front of you doing an attack.

[@spectreapex2803]

He's my favorite. One of the few elder dragons that fight fairly, no crazy gimmicks or environmental damages, just sheer brute force.

[@atraxian5881]

I'm pretty sure the fight in the elder recess has a few rocks you can drop on its head.

[@alexkogan9755]

@@atraxian5881The rock drops are an option at the very least and you’re not forced to use them on Nergigante.

[@Mare_Man]

He has Bleed.

[@DarthDookieMan]

To this day, people still don’t realize the hitbox from the dive bomb is due to Nergi shedding all spikes as it slams. It’s not just the monster’s body to avoid.

[@TheBlindWeasel]

One thing i like about the MonHun comunity as a concept better than when it happens ion other games where people share information, learning the fights yourself is perfectly okay, but if you happen to hear from others what they do to deal with something or what signs to look for during a hunt they've heard or seen themselves is SO MUCH like being part of an actual guild of hunters man... and it's specially welcome in a game where you can hit the threshold for situations that can wipe an entire party at once, we're just learning from those who carted before us

[@BlackHawk3927]

Oh please do more of nch productions, his channel is is going through a rough time

[@Lythiaren]

Oh man yes please. NCH is brilliant.

[@tanekochi]

Asmon still haven't figured out how to fully utilize slinger ammo yet. They aren't just about damage, most of the ammo are like for utility tool to make hunts a bit more manageable. For example, fire torch ammo can be used to clear up miasma in Rotten Vale when shot at the ground. Stone ammo might seem useless, but you can use it to activate some enviromental traps from safe distance, such as the frogs, boulders above, or even use it to lure monster to a certain spot. Also... any slinger ammo are good for "wall banging" aka flinch shot.

[@BIZaGoten]

I like to headshot monsters with slinger ammo to make them flinch and stop their attack

[@danielkopra7762]

Thorn pods will stick to monster for a bit and do blunt DMG to the monster if you hit the monster part it is stuck in. You can use this to ko a monster even if you aren't using a blunt weapon. (Works better with weapons that hit often like dual blades)

[@mattvoelker241]

i told a group of friends the miasma trick yesterday and they had somehow missed this. I swear this was mentioned in the original quests in that area, but they've all been fighting in that shit. Also, bomb-pods are great for stumbling a monster before it smashes the guy who got greedy. If you see something winding up for an attack and you have a pod to spare, launch it.

[@Dexrazor]

⁠@@mattvoelker241 Also tell your friends that wearing mantles will cover your character’s nose and mouth with a mask which lets you ignore the miasma until the mantle runs out.

Nergi was like the monster that made me change tactics. So I swapped my LS to Lance for 2nd time hunting it, and now I can say Nergi made me learn how to Lance in MHW.

[@mckookie2967]

that was me with pickle, had to drop charge blade

[@raulmaltrain6893]

for me it was the brute tigrex, playing lance against it is so macho-man.

[@torchlight1785]

I struggled with Nergigante for so long because I had no idea of one game mechanics, panic diving. The moment I learned that your character runs and dives(instead of rolling) when running away it made those dive bombs a piece of cake. Only learned of this after 20 tries though lol.

[@thynErro]

Knowing when to belly flop is essential for Niergigante and a lot of HR monsters in general.

[@kouani1995]

Its just sad that asmon never met Narga sensei. Best monster for new player practising. Hope he play iceborne so he can met my fave monster

He'll definatly play Icebourne should be tonight or tommorow. I like very similar games to him so i'm sure he will go all the way to Fatalis because MHW is a very very good game.

[@justinboggin9086]

Sheath your weapon and dodge while running away from a monster and you'll do a "dive" dodge. It gives you several years worth of invulnerability. You are supposed to use this on the Nergi divebomb.

[@raulmaltrain6893]

nah, just power block it with lance. sheathing is for plebs.

[@sloesty]

I fucking love how he read everything except "i dont recommend blocking, use superman dive" He finally learns how to block, but uses it when you should not 😂 I love this man

nothing wrong with blockin this. with gs probably gonna run into more scenarios where trying to sheathe and super dive just gonna get you killed.

unfortunately for more context, this was during the beta test play where you're given default gear to fight it, blocking will chip damage you to death regardless. this animation is kinda irrelevant if your only experience is with the base game and given the improved starter gear as this is all about during the free to play beta test phase trial of the game where everything wasn't "Balanced" or "fixed" yet

(Speaking about phase 1-2) 3 changes playstyle, but you should still be going full offence in stage 3

[@redbone9553]

I swear the story/assigned version of monsters are way easier than the option/event version. Story mode was a breeze, but once you go redo them, they become more of a pain to do. It might also be first-try syndrome though.

[@Snaky99]

apparently they nerfed the hp of the monster before iceborne. could be why? made main quest easier for faster progress?

[@damiencouturee6240]

​@@Snaky99If they did that's cool lol. I played back when the game launched and Nerg was no joke lol. Granted I wasn't as good at the game as I am now either, but back then even with the best weapon/armor available at that point, correct elements and whatever, it took me about 20 tries to clear that quest, and when I finally did I had like 45 seconds remaining. That was the problem I had. I wasn't carting or anything, I would just wail on him as much as I could for 50 mins straight and there wouldn't even be skulls around his icon, not even close to dying.

[@rainbowsnek]

event monsters do generally tend to be slightly more difficult than others, they also tend to have slightly higher chances for rare loot such as gems (not better than investigations tho but this applies to all the other MH games too)

[@Bloodhoven]

​​@@Snaky99quite the opposite actually. the overall hp pool of monsters was amped up after Iceborne released. Also, monsters are now way more prone to run away/change areas. to compensate for that, yiu're supposed to make frequent use of the clutch claw.

[@Denamic]

One thing to keep in mind with Nergi's hitboxes is that many of his attacks throw spike shrapnel. A divebomb releases all his spikes, and his spikes become soft again and his attacks won't throw shrapnel until they grow back. This is true for Ruiner too.

[@DustinGann60]

I lance main and lance with max shield skill can block his dive bomb. Most other weapons, when his spikes are fully grown, I recommend just put your weapon away and take evasive manoeuvers. Once he dive bombs, that's your chance to go on the attack again.

[@BlackWaltz101]

This was made before the official release of the game if I remember correctly showing off the fight.
