The ULTIMATE Pre-Fatalis End Game Gear in Monster Hunter World

[@LightItUpDan]

Quick amendment here friends, pay attention to the skills on the beta armor set, I accidentally still had some decos on my sword so I got them a little wrong - apologies for that error! It doesn’t have any recovery up, crit boost, resentment or constitution

[@turnaboutxnd4649]

**Fire SOS Flare** **Everyone proceeds to die to random bs** I now have trust issues

[@Onetime-ly9dh]

Just get into those 999 room and ask for help. Random guy may just want a free ride

[@LightItUpDan]

SOS is such a mixed bag, it’s a gamble lol

[@k_linguine6359]

fine, I'll finally go farm raging brachy 😔

[@DLTyrus]

Enjoy your pain.

[@LightItUpDan]

You got this!

[@Jemzz9302]

I love this monster. On all of my playthroughs he's been such a challenge but i respect him so much for that, one of my favourite fights in the whole game

[@LightItUpDan]

Yeah it's super fun

[@accussedfever6869]

I use to majorly struggle with Raging, barely even beating him with randoms. Now I’ve come back a year later, helping some friends get through Iceborne for the first time and decided to fight him. Had one group of 3 join, 2 Hammers and a HH. Never was low health and absolutely demolished him. From then on, I’ve been able to solo Raging fairly easily. I spent the 2 weeks the latest festival was up for trying to get the rare materials for my armor. Finally got it all and am really happy to have made my original goal, from a year ago, come true!

[@LightItUpDan]

That’s so dope, love it!

[@roninchris3679]

I am already beyond end game with 2000 plus hours in MHW, but I love your videos. Just subbed. Concise guides, good detail and love the humour you thread throughout. Keep up the great content and looking forward to your MH wilds videos.

[@LightItUpDan]

Really appreciate that mate, thank you for the kind words and for enjoying my videos!

[@bloodasp8028]

One other thing to note: in the final area, Brachy will take additional damage from its own Slime Explosions for every part you've broken before hand

[@LightItUpDan]

I recall it being more so if tenderised on top of broken too?

[@callanharvey6264]

For any melee weapon players, mix 2 pieces of raging brachys armor with 3 pieces of teostra's armor and you can make the best pre-fatalis set in the game. Upgrade the agitator charm and slap it on top and you're good to go

[@Onetime-ly9dh]

Agitator charm 5 requires MR 100 (grinding land spread lv7 lunastra) . By that time people should have farmed fatalis set already. The Teostra part is true.

[@callanharvey6264]

@@Onetime-ly9dh doesn't have to be level 5 charm, just enough to get you up to agitator 5, maybe 6, missing 5-10 affinity isn't the end of the world

[@kevo300]

@@Onetime-ly9dh not true I waited until mr 100 and guiding lands to make sure I got augments and defence for solo fatty. Unless you want to get carried.

[@Onetime-ly9dh]

@@callanharvey6264 I don't see the advantage using branchy build if it is not for agitator 7. Why don't just use alatreon build or lunastra + gold rathian build for first time fatalis?

[@Onetime-ly9dh]

@@kevo300 I don't think solo grinding land to level 7 is realistic either. You have to do some multi play. Btw you know you don't have to win fatalis to make the set, right? You can either lose too many time and your plunker knife cat do the job. No one will wait until health gen and agitator 5 charm, crit boost/health jewel to show up before doing fatalis

[@Sparten-nm2jb]

I really love Raging Brachy's armour and weapon aesthetics, as well as the blast element. Fought him so much before fatty that I had almost every weapon of its tree and got very good at consistently soloing him, until a friend told me to grind fatty later on. Even now with fatty gear I like using the Raging Brachy layered armour and weapon for my gun lance loadout.

[@LightItUpDan]

Such a great fight!

[@CaptainFynx]

The transition at 5:13 is absolute fire.

[@LightItUpDan]

Appreciate you

[@kawaiisnake8201]

Honestly, the best monster ever made. His fight is soooo fun, while still being hard.

[@LightItUpDan]

I’m a big fan too

[@ThePowerFrank]

You forgot to mention that if you break the arms and head, when brachy does the big explotion in the final stage he takes damage too

[@LightItUpDan]

That’s correct! (I didn’t forget to mention it, I just chose not to)

[@deadhelix]

I was having trouble with this monster at first but then realized with my crit build blizzard and blaze dual-blades and the help of fortify, i can do enough dmg to him playing solo that I get him to the last area even when i play bad. Once he goes there I get a sigh of relief because the last arena is honestly way easier than the first phase

[@LightItUpDan]

[@silverhand.johnny]

I don't know how high my Resiliency stat is, but I completed my Raging Brachy Beta set with GS and SnS without completing its Special Assignment quest.

[@vladimirserpov6773]

Took me a couple days of getting correct gear and then remembering how to use a glaive, as glaive trivializes this fight a fair deal by comparison to trying solo him with a hammer or a GS.

[@LightItUpDan]

very nice! honestly IG trivialises a lot of content, being able to freely navigate on a completely different elevation to the 13 other weapons is a very strong perk haha

[@a.z.pantera5577]

Every time I do random hunts against this guy, I always bring my healer SnS build. I'm still contributing damage, but having a fast party wide heal I feel is instrumental. Especially when everyone is running the Safi armor and throwing caution to the wind and themselves at Brachy...

not trying to downplay you, but i’m interested in hearing what your build was. i main lance and have no problem with raging brachy. i have a build with the frostfang lance with lvl 3 blast resist. Guard 5 and guard up also helps immensely

Raging branchy weapons are not as good as fully upgraded safi weapons. Its gear and weapons is usually mixed with teostra for master touch to maintain that short purple sharpness.

[@mbriggs10]

Depends on the weapon. For raw weapons the difference is negligible and Safi takes 10x longer to farm

[@LightItUpDan]

Safi has a lot of RNG, takes a while to get the bits to do all your awakenings, and ends up marginally better. I also clearly state that I’m explicitly not including Safi weapons for that reason, did you not hear that, or?

Both are correct! Any end game gear is appropriate to face Fatalis with

[@taymack9725]

Ha (laughs in bow main) most of his gear is practically useless for us. I mean sure it can be used. But the only thing you’d want is his bow and bows are mainly elemental so theirs barely a point to that

[@LightItUpDan]

Raw is still king, elemental is highly situational with few use cases, even on bow. This is gonna be a dope choice for bow/dbs, loads of raw damage and the blast adds even more pain too

I understood the assignment

[@tumedei16]

The raging brachidios is not the best monster to farm pre fatalis, you should farm alatreon instead (fatalis is weak to dragon and the alatreon weapons have the most dragon element of all the weapons, good slots and a ton of sharpness, also his armor Is better for slots, elemental defense and skill that you get since you get atk bonus 6 just from gloves and belt). I can concede that in a mixed set pre fatalis you definitly should include 2 pieces of raging brachidios in order to get access to agitator 7 that is a top priority skill but you should mix it with 3 pieces of alatreon. Stop spreading misinformation

[@mbriggs10]

For most people farming Alatreon is going to be 1000x more of a pain and frustrating. 3 piece Teostra/2 Raging Brach with a Raging Brachy Weapon is the easiest to acquire and set yourself up really well for all the end game content not just Fatalis. So people wanting to farm augments and guiding lands as well or do the MR 24 Zinogre deco farm there’s no point in dealing with Alatreon more than you need

[@tumedei16]

​@@mbriggs10i agree that raging brachi gear is very good for farming giuding lands or making people go trought most of the endgame grind, but saying that this is the best set pre fatalis it's just not true

[@LightItUpDan]

I love the Alatreon gear and highly recommend it. Overall, Raging Brachy gear is better for most situations in Iceborne. I’ll happily continue making videos as I see fit. Should you wish to alter or shape this differently, then feel free to make your own. Do not, however, try to dictate mine
