For the part breaking floors if you don't feel like farming separate monsters, each zone actually has 1 monster at the back of the area with every part you need to break, in the first one there are 2 Nerscylla in the back with all the parts you need to break, the 2nd one there is a Kecha Wacha in the back with every part you need to break, and the last one there is a Basarios in the very back which has every part you need to break.

[@AzureGhidorah]

Fatalis was a hellishly powerful monster. And I, sadly, was not able to even approach him back in Stories 1. Furthermore I was a silly, silly person. I went in with just me and my powered up Velkhana, with a powered up Nergigante as an Emergency Button if Velkhana was about to be caught out and I couldn't order it to use the correct move. Got within a turn or two of defeating him the first time around, AFTER the bungling of learning what he does and how to read his follow-ups and hodge-podging around a strategy. The second time, though, I managed to push through to the end, and defeat him. And I got enough parts to make something from him, too! Which is really why I was here, since you guys tend to go the distance in your explanation. Thanks for the heads up on everything we need to know, I was stuck between making his armor or making his Hunting Horn.

I think I preferred the velkhana fight on z5 over fatalis, having to read the notes from red and learning how to fight it was really interesting and definitely the most unique fight so far at that point for me, the fatalis fight I didn’t find too hard to be totally honest, it was just a heal fest the whole time, just gotta keep spamming potions and slowly chipping away at his health, I dunno, different for everyone but I didn’t like it too much

@RageGamingVideos hi i found something out that will help ppl escape nests when you are invaded or when you wake up the monster, but only works in co-op. When the monster is chasing you just open up the menu with the emotes/stickers ( - button on switch ) and for some weird reason the monster lose sight of you as long as that menu is open and they even step back to the nest. pretty funny and handy for quick escape.

[@MayHugger]

Why thank you for this information.

I knew about opening the x menu to be invincible and just have a monster run through you, but the sticker menu just drops their aggro? Wack.

[@conchurfitzsimons570]

I'm currently doing my second run on Elder's Lair (the monsters hit so fucking hard...) and I'm stuck on Velkhana. The problem is while her freeze mantle does a pattern of Tech and then Power, there's a chance on the second time she uses it that it actually starts with Power first and that ruins everything as you need your monstie (even better when riding) to break the mantle

****Spoiler warning in case you stopped there in the video**** The second fight against Fatalis is like…if you took a bullet hell game…locked your character in place…and then tried to somehow manage to survive. Then quickly realize that it’s 30% skill/70% luck and prepare to make a new comfy spot in your chair/couch because unless it’s gonna be a long day. I can not express this enough, my character attacked ONCE. The rest of the time was spent using potions and other items. I know there is more content coming but I don’t see how they balance that encounter with ANYTHING that comes after it because even going back to a Rajang or elder feels like a walk in the park comparatively. Granted maybe any content that is still coming isn’t combat focused but that’s the only thing I can think of.

[@phantom8464]

did u follow his atk patterns? he only requires 2-3 dusts of life and about 1-2 ancient potions

[@shufflebox814]

It only took me two attempts. I think me and my monsties were around level 75, and I had fully upgraded grimclaw armor (tenacity skills are always nice). Edit: Maybe bring a hunting horn with Evasion Riff too Rather than riding one monstie and spamming heals, I built up 100% kinship on multiple monsties and saved it all for when Fatalis spams dragon attacks. I could take a hit or two while attacking, maybe try to heal occasionally and if I get knocked off then I switch to the next, all while reverto just goes off.

Yeah doesn't make much sense for you to only be able to farm him once he's basically gotten a 'power boost'. Plus his armor's not really that good, people probably have a talisman with a combo pair of Self-Heal(L), Crit(XL), or Panacea(L). They're not that hard of skills to get on armor and talismans outside the Fatalis gear. The Rath Heart armor with a Crit(XL) and Panaea(L) talisman would probably be a better option for an all-around safe set.

@@caiusdrakegaming8087 My bloodbath diablos armor is already superior to fatalis gear The non elemental boost XL combined with bloodbath/grimclaw gear is a recipe for hefty damage Plus I’ve seen a self heal XL/panacea L talisman in someone’s video so that’s half of fatalis set right there
