Amazing. Most guides don't focus on how to dodge attacks in as much detail as this, and dodging is basically 90% of how to actually win the fight. This dude is making the best monster fighting tutorials on youtube.

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Thank you very much, my friend!

[@baldino9165]

Keep up the great work! No other youtuber makes content focus on the actual monsters. Everybody is just all about optimizing builds lol.

[@kdefinition]

This is the kind of breakdown I've been looking for. Been beating my head against AT Nerg for 4 hours straight, and only managed to beat him a second time thanks to these tips. GG.

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Glad it helped!

[@InfectedJF]

I like the fact that for each statement you make you have a visual example. Fuu that's a lot of footage to cover, great work!

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Thanks man, really appreciate it. Gotta back our words up with FACTS! Haha! It took me a span of around 1 week to finish everything

[@ZZMonkeysUncleZZ]

This was useful. As an sns user, the pepega slam is really the only attack that's an issue, but at times it can be a dealbreaker on its own. I've had him spam it up to six times in a row without pausing, making it completely impossible to approach him while doing it.

[@viethoang907]

Great video ! I'd add that for the Standing Slam and Flying Slam, Nerg can grow spikes during the animation, and as soon as it starts to grow, there will be exploding spikes. It's quite rare, but it does happen, so keep that in mind next time you get hit for seemingly no reason.

[@aaz0th601]

best tutorial i have ever watched

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Much appreciated!

[@powdersnow988]

Thanks for this text book.I did a run without any death first time after watching this.

Congratulations, bro! And thanks for the kind feedback

[@zakunekaeattatoue2012]

Such detailed guides. Keep up the good work. feelsbad when there’s no guide for a specific monster I’m looking for though :p

Amazing video as always! You should get more recognition

[@leki674]

Wow underrated vid

[@hariman7727]

Thank you very much! This should help in my quest to finally beat AT Nergi. I've been struggling a bit with Greatsword, as he's really tricky, but knowing some of the positioning and timing to dodge his attacks is definitely going to help. I'm a bit cheap and tend to run with Earplugs/Tremor Resistance though, so I have to dodge/block/survive a little longer for the convenience of being able to ignore those. ;p

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Thanks brother. It doesn't matter how fast you clear him or how many times you cart. What matters is you succeed! We hope this guide will help you in this regard.

[@hariman7727]

@@MonsterHunterPH This guide did help me, in getting positioning and timing refined to the point of gaining a victory. It was on the very last day the event was running, and on the last try I had time for, but it was still a victory, and I only carted once during the fight. ;D

[@MonsterHunterPH]

@@hariman7727 great work, brother!

[@simonbelmont1539]

I think overcommitting and impatience in general were my biggest problems in this game. Switch Axe was my main and in every hunt I was eager to build the charge and make it explode in the monster's face without analysing any of its attacks and just getting stomped. Sure I learned some monster's patterns here and there but it was completely superficial (I never used the Defender armor and weapons btw). Once I learned to look at the monster and analyze its attacks and experiment what might or might not work etc, my skill progression went from 2/10 to 6/10 in an instant. I thought I was so good that I literally quit, which was really shameless considering I very rarely hunted Tempered monster and I didn't even know Arch-Tempered monster existed. I was just satisfied. Also, it happened 300 hours in after I beat Velkhana so it took me a very long time to understand the essence of the hunt. I recently created a new character in order to 100% base Monster Hunter World (and Iceborne later but I'm at that point yet) and AT Nergigante was especially annoying. The amount of monster knowledge and restraint from overcommitting was especially painful compared to all the other Arch-Tempered monsters.

[@DapimpBDSD]

Nergiant is literally the only Elder Dragon that I can sub consciously dodge from. Even ruiner can't hit me sometimes.

[@xmiseryjokers9570]

I don’t have problems with anything and actually used to speedrun but I found your channel from the hunting horn sound reddit post and these are really well done so I watched everything just because it’s interesting Good stuff my man keep it up please, my lazy friends sure could use it :^)

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Thanks, my friend! I've been very busy with real life responsibilities but I will surely want to have all Master Rank monsters their own guide.

[@xmiseryjokers9570]

@@MonsterHunterPH Take your time man, don't stress yourself if you have stuff to do! I came back for iceborne so i forgot how to roll through roars consistently so that video you did also helps! Any monster you make a video on will undoubtedly decrease my kill times, the velk ice ring strat was huge for me, used to stay outside the furthest range when it was coming Looking forward to more from you! Subscribed of course and post your vids in the discord i'm in c; doot on brother o7

realy nice video man, tkx

[@Yusio]

Huhuhuhu, I run this with my group of friends a lot, and I'm the only one who doesn't cart no matter how many times I run it >:D And its all thanks to this video~ (that and I still have a healthy fear of him so I play cautiously xD)

[@eym.official]

Can you roll this attacks using the Flurry Rush of DB's? (the O button when in Demon Mode)

[@shangguanlan5818]

Really impressive tutorial for against AT nergi, however is still hard for me to perfectly dodge it's new move

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Perfectly fine man, its a very hard move to dodge

[@shangguanlan5818]

Monster Hunter World PH Elites Mostly it will have fifty-fifty chance to dodge it. The damage zone is not really clear, and sometimes it can give me a one hit kill. This new move is really hard to predict, like you mentioned in the video is probably will come out with some move, and this new move is could be repeat several times and finally you will be killed. I still confused about the real damage zone about this new move, although it have a small hitbox, and sometimes AT Nergi will be knocked down from sky when it used this new move and hit on my wyvern blast.

[@MonsterHunterPH]

@@shangguanlan5818 the idea is to really just roll away from the claw. If there are spike growing, it will also have a mini spike explosion which is usually what kills most. If you successfully dodge the slam but you still end up close, you may get one-shot by the spike explosion immediately after

[@shangguanlan5818]

Monster Hunter World PH Elites Yep, if there has spike on nergi claw the new move will be more lethally than wihout spikes. And actually the nergi will use the right claw to finish this new move, so it probably will be possible to aviod and dodge it if we can keep positioning in the side of nergi left claw.

[@realNaniByte]

7:17 it's a hitbox alright ;)

[@silv2469]

Kudos to those who beats at nerg without MR gears

[@KXRTT---]

Are you using evade window if so what level?

[@MonsterHunterPH]

All Artful Dodger videos are using base evasion (no added evade window nor evade extender skills). Thanks!

[@raidevil5497]

how can u play safe against a monster where the longer the fight goes, the harder he becomes

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Thank you for the feedback. Playing "Safe" does not have to mean playing "Slow". In the video link below, I played it Safe but I was still able to get sub 10 mins with Hunting Horn. Playing safe is making sure you don't take unnecessary risks and to note over-commit with attacks. You will only attack during moves that you are 100% sure you'll still be able to dodge the Dive Slam if he does it quickly. Some of these moves are the Claw Swipes, the Flying Charged Slam, the Claw Scrape, and even the Dive Slam/Pepega Slam itself. Moves that are dangerous to follow-up with are the Quick Claw Slam, the Head Slam, and the Slide Charge. You'll need to learn by experience which moves are safe to attack on and which ones are not. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZS4p36Ia9d2mKM

[@xarmy12]

what does i frame mean ?

[@MonsterHunterPH]

iFrame or "Invincibility frames" are the number of frames during your roll wherein you are invulnerable and you don't take damage

[@xarmy12]

[@nuke2099]

Now try dodging the slam when it does it 6+ times in a row. Or try blocking it while not dying to chip damage as it spams it.

[@MythmasterFunky]

None of this is working, Nerg ruined the game for me. That pepega slam is op, I don't see it coming

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Thank you for the feedback. Which weapon are you using? Some weapons will have more trouble dealing with a lot of Nergigante's moves like Switch Axe sword mode. And isn't it too strong of a statement to say that "none of this is working?" It works for me and quite a lot of people on the comments section have mentioned this guide helped them solo AT Nergigante.

[@MythmasterFunky]

@@MonsterHunterPH LS and none of this working, that pepega slam Is the only thing Inhabe trouble with

[@neobahumuth6]

not sure why ppl are so triggered by the pepega slam, after some practice you can dodge it even with your back on him since it strikes always the same zone of your hitbox everytime. Personally I find the running charge much more annoying

[@MonsterHunterPH]

I would imagine its because many are always caught in the middle of overcomitting to attacks. That kills more than missing the dodge, in my opinion

[@neobahumuth6]

@@MonsterHunterPH I think that also ppl don't understand what it means to attack during an animation lock, because most ppl told me that they waited Nergi to have stopped moving to attack and then getting hit

[@MonsterHunterPH]

@@neobahumuth6 Yes, that is a very common mistake most players, old and new, make. Not many people know how to exploit an animation lock for fear that they may still be "hit" during the monster's recovery frames.

[@nuke2099]

@@MonsterHunterPH It's because it isn't a balanced move. It's fast and it's high power. That's a big no no for balance. Also it can chain it from any move including itself and it can spam it multiple times. 6+ is the max I have seen.

[@MonsterHunterPH]

@@nuke2099 it is a strong move, I agree but I would not go so far as to call it unbalanced or unfair. I get hit by that move 1 time out of 10 (yes even if he spams it) when I don't have mantles on because I know when to expect it. I can expect it by simply basing on the current move that he did, whether it has a fast recovery or not. In all honesty, when I attempted to do sub 10, I died more to his running charge and the quick claw slam than I did with the Pepega Slam (if ever, actually).
