Strategically made the video as long as Fatalis' current time limit in hunts I see.

Iceborne Fatalis is still one of the greatest fights in a video game I’ve ever seen. Despite the 30 minute timer sucking, the natural difficulty of the fight was absolutely perfect and forced you to use all your tools. Dark souls may have me pumping my fist at beating a boss, but Fatalis had me screaming my lungs out when I got my first kill.

The pin in IB is also a nod to lure stating that Fatails melts hunters, armor and all, onto his chest to strength it. It’s also noted he stands on two legs to mock hunters. That’s also probably why he stands as a part of his pin. In short, he’s the Hunter Hunter who becomes strong by wearing the materials of the opponents he defeats.

19:03 "Hits extremely hard" is somehow an understatement. I was a Lance main at the time, so I learned the hard way that even his weakest attacks will chip through a max Guard Up Lance shield.

25:53 The health thresholds at which Fatalis performs these attacks is actually at about 40%, 20% and 5%.

I swear to god this thing has like a legendary presence as the greatest and most terrifying of the dragons and I hope it stays that way

When fetalis was conceived, he was actually the supernatural one, as there was not much other supernatural elder dragon until the introduction of Kushala, Teo, Luna, and Chamelios in 2nd gen

I love that Fatalis might not be the largest Elder but is the scariest and strongest, making monsters size of mountains run for their life.

MHWI Fatalis is still to this day the greatest boss fight i've ever experienced in any game. The way that fight starts with fear and dread, and slowly builds up to heroism near the end is perfect. I'll never forget the feeling of defeating this beast for the first time. Absolute banger of a soundtrack too.

Fatalis in MH1 (PS2) was quite strong. Remember the meta with 4x Gunners, because the skin blocked nearly every other weapon, and combining endless amounts of Clust Lv. 2 with Wyvern Claws. A few times in the month the city merchant sold Claws and on this "Claw Days" everyone prepared their stuff for Fatalis.

After seeing the MASSIVE upgrade Fatalis got in Iceborne I can't wait to see what they do with the other members of the Fatalis trio going forward

Man I hope they master and pull off underwater combat for Gen 6. I still feel that the clutch claw and wire bugs are a concept test for a fluent underwater combat.

Black Dragons are supposed to be the most challenging and scariest monsters in the games, Iceborne's Fatalis demonstrated that really well

Iceborne fatalis feels like the one that actually destroyed a entire empire by itself

Dire Miralis can come back since we have wirebugs now. Effectively requiring hunters to use them as a resource to get the hunt down as opposed to accessing OP moves.

I had to beat the mhwi fatalis with full power flames, so fun. I played it myself solo before I looked up stuff and knew about the bait for his fire breath

I expected another troll lol. (Flashbacks to Bulldrome)

I'll have a channel update up later this week, discussing things. Namely future evolution videos.

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned the major similarities between Fatalis and the fights against the dragon in dragons dogma, another Capcom game. The model, some of the attacks, and the usage of ballista in their arenas are all similar.

I feel like without the 30 minute timer, a significant portion of the fight feeling actually difficult and tense would be completely lost. The monsters of MH usually only feel "hard" when you have to actively fight them the entire time, if you want to play safe, you absolutely can most of the time and this makes it VERY hard for a monster to down you unless they have some serious bullshit moves. There needs to be a time constraint to make you actually fight the damn thing instead of looking at it without any consequence. Fatalis, like Alatreon before him felt like a much more satisfying "dance" than most regular hunts simply because you HAVE to actively engage both of these monsters and learn their behaviour and patterns, actually becoming efficient at dealing enough damage/part break to take them down proper without letting you run around aimlessly while not getting punished for it. When me and my then squad took him down for the first time it came down to 28:39 or something, incredibly tight, but honestly it was the greatest feeling and I feel like the fight would have felt infinitely less satisfying without the time limit being there.

I just love how the iceborne segment is a straight up Tutorial on the fight. Great video as always man!

Only Monster Hunter could put a 30 minute limit to a fight and you will feel like it's not enough

Iceborne Fatalis really is on his king shit. His fight is still my favorite and the music just gets my adrenaline flowing.

A monster that I would love to come back that is from MH4U is Dalamader, one of the Urgent quests to unlock G rank in that game. It does have its own area but the fight itself was very fun imo

The thing I like about Fatalis the most is the lore behind it. Some of my favorite lore involving Fatty is the giant great sword in Poke village. This giant sword implies that at some point in history, a Fatalis was slain before. Theres also the fact that this sword regenerates after mining from it, which could mean that the sword and scales and stones off of it are all still alive. This also leads into the theories that the gear we make from Fatalis parts are also alive which can explain why they so strong. (In Iceborne at least, in the older games the fatty family's gear was a mixed bag depending on which version of fatty and the game.) I really believe that half of what makes Fatalis really stand out is the lore. I think world did a poor job explaining the things what Really makes him special, such as the fact that Fatalis only shows up when humanity starts to have to much of a grip over nature, and it specifically targeting humanity could hint toward it being sentient. Without the lore, hes just a dragon that likes to breath a lot of fire, I prefer Alatreon over fatty any way.

After failing IB fatalist quest many times while doing it online, i decided to do it solo and took me 3 days to do so.

tell me whatever you want but I love old Fatalis. it's slow and easy to predict, but that's the point. you have to be perfect. it's attacks are all easy to avoid, but if you mess up you're dead. I won't deny it's really that hard, but it's Monster Hunter 's combat to the max. learing patterns and punish them, the "dance" between you and the Monsters and Fatalis forced you to follow it.

I still think Alatreon was to be Iceborne final boss, with a much larger story than what we had, but the 15 years artwork came and the feedback was so huge Capcom had to make him come, they even said he wasn't planned at all, I would have loved to see what they would have done with Alatreon Though Iceborne Fatalis is a pure Masterclass in every aspect

Absolutely banging video heavy wings. Been with you since 1k subs. I consider your monster evolution videos best in-class. This vid is probably your best yet. Congrats on 10k and can't wait to see what you put out next!

EX White Fatalis in generations ultimate is such a challenge, and is required to make most of the best meta sets. That fight alone and all of the amped up event fatalis quests make generation's fatalis the best for me.

I absolutely love the 4U G Rank Chrimson Fatalis , a red Traditional Dragon , too good

I remember when Iceborne Fatalis first came out I streamed it for a few friends and mentioned that I'd been throwing myself against him for over a day now. They were like "that doesn't sound fun". That got me thinking. I WAS having fun. Only a game like Monster Hunter could give you a challenge like that and have it still feel fair, and not just that, make it something I want to play more of. I want to see 4U's G-rank crimson fatty back again, too. His heat waves and the sun flares made him really visually impressive. I hope later Monster Hunter games give Fatalis the respect he deserves and not just throw in fatty back as content padding.

Congrats on 10k dude! Also amazing fatalis video, glad you included Dire Miralis

I love like the fact that this video is 30 minutes long just like his iceborne quest.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks Fatalis in Iceborne is a really well designed fight. It genuinely annoys me that people say it's an unfair fight when it's only unfair if you go in unpreparedm very much like Alatreon who I think was designed in a way to say "Hey, you need to learn the monster and prepare accordingly." so that people would have that mindset ready for Fatalis.

I love how they put a 30 minute timer on a massive healthbar

Iceborne Fatalis is probably in my top 5 boss fights of all time. It’s a perfectly written, perfectly choreographed, and perfectly presented three act story about a hero and a monster. It just feels timeless and perfect in almost every way, despite how hard it is.

I feel like dire derserves to be in a new gen game, dire has a lot of great moves even though some are fatalis but with the new era, he can get more of his owns

Dude, I frickin love your monster hunter evolution videos! As someone who loves the franchise and a long time player, these videos are extremely informative . I only wish you could share some tips on playing the old games. Thanks for all your hard work.

3:29 totally agree. I legit did the slay 3 velociprey quest in forest n hills dozen of times because it yield easy 300z. Yes, 3 hundred freaking zenny

White Fatalis is my favorite variation of Fatalis, with the Zenith version being to me the absolute peak of it being the strongest monster to exist

25:15: Actually there is a way, though it will only 100% work for one person, the rest are just going to have to hug the spot and hope for the best. The moment he charges the 360 you can attach yourself and avoid all damage along with weakening the chest. Clutch Claw the OPPOSITE arm of his fire attack (if he's charging towards his right arm, go for the left) and stay there until his attack is done. Make sure you have plenty of stamina to hold on at least up to 3 seconds. Once you get the hang of it, that attack is the easiest to dodge in his kit. Hope this helps, good luck!

I’ve always loved the fact that many elder dragons are hexapods in the series. Really adds to the mystery of them, considering how monster hunter is mostly home to wyverns and not the traditional dragons we’re so used to seeing everywhere🔥

I remember in the 1st MH the basic strat was for everyone in the group to run bow guns because it was too much of a liability to get anywhere near him.

Console exclusive was the biggest enemy for hunters, from ps2 to psp to the wii to the 3DS, I was a little kid with no money, I wish I could have played them

Have been waiting for this one!

I had to learn how to battle with tears in my eyes. When Proof of a Hero hits, it gets me every time.

"Welcome to Phase 2. Fatalist will now begin to fly." This is such a raw line to me for some reason

Crimson fatalis is apparently an enraged fatalis who got beat up pretty bad. This is why one of his horns is larger than the other.

13:36 the original white in Freedom unite (mhp2g) also has this attack except it doesn't divebomb but slowly flies back at the end, and it performs this attack so often it is regarded as the No.2 time waster just behind Ratholas' around the world attack.

Iceborne Fatalis was the only one to make me learn how to craft support items for my friends. Because at the end of our first defeat, I had a total of 348 heals between 4 people. (I was running a friendship heal and buff build.)

Actually, crimson has also an armor mode in MHFU. It activates when he goes in rage mode and dissipates once he calms down, while White Fatalis activates his armor mode at 50% HP and keeps it on until he drops below 25%. Also, for both the armor mode covers their entire body. All their hitzones become 10%, even their head. The best strategies were to bring bombs, cluster shots, gunlance shelling or dragon element on their head (bow) since the first three did fixed damages ignoring the hitzone values and the dragon hitzone on the head remained unchanged even when in armor mode.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNahm7ZesN6Wepc.html Minor correction: Fatalis' solo health is 66,000 not 57,000. Aside for that, you covered Fatalis very well from start to finish and put into perspective of the monster's evolution. Congratulations on breaking five digit followers btw!

So for the first MonHun game the highest sharpness was only green and all meele weapons would just bounce off of him, fighting him meele was suicide. So in order to take him down you would need a heavy bowgun that can use cluster shot lvl 2 (2 was the highest lvl). Back then you could only have a set amount, 10 or 20 I think but you could hold 99 of the combined parts. Wyvern claw and something else and you could buy both parts at the endgame shop. So the idea is to have four players use heavy bowgun and Rathalos armor for attack up to blow him the hell up with cluster shots till you repel/kill him. It was really the fastest way to kill him under 15 minutes. Cluster also back then shot different as it was just a bullet that would split into smaller clusters once it hit on impact. No mortar like stance so it was a pretty OP ammo backthen.

Tbh, I think Crismon is gonna be Sunbreak’s final TU Boss. It makes sense, really. Iceborne: Fatalis/Alatreon Sunbreak: Crismon Fatalis/Something new perhaps MH6/New game: White Fatalis/Dire Miralis

keep in mind despite crimson fatalis being at the end of village high rank in 4 ultimate it's by doing a greulling tasks known as egg quests and on top of that apparently it's a recently born fatalis too.

Iceborne fatalis is the first and only fatalis I’ve fought, but he has gone from behind right behind kushala daora and being my 2nd most hated monster to tied with Vaal Hazak and just ahead of the raths for my favourite monster. Fatalis is awesome, and I hope he comes to sunbreak

Remember the first solo fight against a Fatalis is because he's the final boss of funny egg subplot because one of the egg we delivered hatched. Also to explain the difference between the two crimson fatalis, maybe the first is not completely adult because he hatched not long ago but there's also a fan theory that the G-rank one is the fatalis from the first game.

Amazing video man deserves so much more views👏👏

THIRTY MINUTES??? HELL YESSSS!!!

Wtf i thought Heavy Wings had a lot more subscribers. His content is so good im surprised

At first I was wondering why the video was exactly 30 minutes. Then the words "Quest failed" and war flashbacks flooded my memories.

I used to not rlly care abt crimson but the solar flairs and the color change is what made him my favorite fatalis (mh 4 tbc)

this is an amazing video and really interesting to see the evolution of the monster itself and the fight but all i can focus on is you being a skulduggery fan with that palico name

This video is so well-made!

Ive been playing monster hunter for 8 years and i havent fought any fatalis. But by just watching this video is making me want to buy iceborne. Its scares me and excite at the same time.

If they use Narwa changes the environment to make cooling currents or something like that, Dire can come back because the environment allows it to be hot and cold.

congrats on 10k subs :DD great Monster Hunter content

Love and enjoy your Monster Hunter vids!! Continue the amazing work dude!!👍

G Rank Crimson Fatalis in MH4U was one of my favorite multiplayer experiences ever. Iceborne Fatalis was a better fight, but I’ll always prefer G Rank Crimson.

Iceborne Fatalis is a masterpiece of a boss fight and is one of my favorite bosses of all time

Fatalis was possible to to finish in a single run in the First MH game. You had to have 4 players with heavy bowguns (perferably the fatalis heavy bowgun) and you had everyone bring Clust lv2 and the matierals to craft clust lvl2 and the combo books to get 100% craft rate. You could bring 99 of both materials (small bone husk and wyvern claw, both of which were able to be purchased from the merchant).

ooo hype i love your vids just wanted to give an early algorithm boost!

My problem with iceborne fatalis is not that he has a massive health pool, or that he hits hard, but its not tight enough. His hitboxes are decent but because of how tight the fight is, the occasional hit/death due to bad hitboxes stings WAYY MORE than it normally does, and the fact he sometimes just attacks in a way as to not give you any chance to do anything, and you die a bullshit death, that really sours the whole 'only the best players' thing, because at this point it stops being about skill and instead its about luck.... Edit: 19:40 Also moments like that, simply being attached to him will pin you for no reason, even though i wasnt under him

In awe I’m just realizing dire mirales is just fatalis cousin didn’t even realize the same skeleton

The online servers were shut down, but there is a private server currently avaliable for japanese isos of the game (along with an english patch). Anybody interested in MH1 should be seeing this as I've seen so many MH1 videos release in the last few months.

amazing video. well thought out. subbed

Congrats on 10k! 🎉🎉 Been watching you since the beginning

There's one big thing that made Fatalis and his variants a lot easier to farm in Gen 4 - the mounting mechanic. Their heads, which fork over a Horn and Eye part upon being broken once and twice respectively, were difficult to hit without ranged weapons in Gens 1 and 2, coming down into melee reach only for brief moments. However, you could just abuse the new mounting mechanic by spamming the Insect Glaive's vault attack (or in GenU, any Aerial-style weapon) to mount it. You then proceed to play the mounting minigame by STABBING ITS HEAD REPEATEDLY. Successfully winning the minigame not only causes Fatalis to topple and bring the head into easy melee range for a good 15-20 seconds, but deals a good chunk of partbreak damage, often enough to instantly cause a break. I've found that with a four man team, you can get both breaks with two successful mount/topples and a few extra hits, especially when backed by Dragon damage. As an added bonus, the head stays completely still, unlike when you use the One-Shot Binders or paralyze it. This is good, since many Fatalis weapons are among the best in their respective games - in GenU, the Insect Glaives made from all three versions of the mighty dragon count as "meta" for speedrunning - the Crimson Fatalis is the best general use, regular's is the best Dragon-element, and White's is the best Thunder-element. The Crimson Fatalis Heavy Bowgun and Hammer are also great, as is the regular Fatalis Switch Axe.

I hope fatalis gets added in sunbreak or better yet add him in every game cuz he is basically a secret flagship

u forgot the ultimate white fatalis who literaly obliterates u tho

Did anyone notice he made the video EXACTLY 30 mins? The same amount of time the Fatalis quests in Iceborne give you to kill Him.

Great video! Well done on the research.

To survive Fatty's cone attack, you can block without Guard Up (I blocked with SnS without any blocking skill, took 40 hp) or do Superman dives twice (risky, but use it when no other choice available).

Wanted to mention with the 3 nuke attacks he actually dose the nuke dive bomb when he’s not enraged while when enraged he dose the 3 nukes

i love your upload, do upload more!

ah Fatalis back on ps2 was fun specially on claw days where everyone stockpiled mats to make 99 Clust lvl shots along with 3 premade ammo and nuked it.

Fantastic video!

Sad you didn't get to touch on the Frontier Exclusive versions of Fatalis from G rank because they're all really cool, but Frontier isn't exactly the easiest game to get ahold of

If crimson fatalis ever gets a fight remake just like regular fatalis, I would really like if his meteor summoning attack was him showering the ground with blast fire which causes an earthquake which also causes the volcanos behind him to erupt and meteors falling from the sky flowed by a disaster level roar to stun you. Also if the devs don't make him one shot you with his dive bomb immediately after the story cutscene just to toy with you then I'm gonna be sad. Also he needs to always look like the grank version as it makes more sense for me.

When the black one repels, it will fly to the volcano with anger and become the crimson one. Once the crimson one fails again, it turns into the red one. The white one is a different story. We study it from the lore in JP version of the game

Kept us waiting, huh?

dire miralis would be interesting if it was reworked for a zorah magdaros type siege battle

My favourite fatalis is iceborne fatalis. I would like to see a slight size increase to better reflect its strength and power.

Awesome video!

Rest in peace for those who have passed away and never even got the chance at fighting fatalis iceborne 🙏🏼

I thought Bulldrome was a variant of Fatalis? A bit upset about the lack of the boss with the most difficult moveset. But I guess I can't really complain, you did make a video dedicated to the godless deity Bulldrome.

In-Universe the reason why G-Rank Crismon Fatalis exists is because you canonically don't kill Black Fatalis. You repel him and send him to the volcano. That's why one horn is "Overgrown". It's not overgrown, it's what Fatalis' horn would look like if he kept growing. He's burning hot and glowing because he's extremely enraged at another hunter coming at him.

Dire could be brought back as a siege, imo. Just have his underwater stage be related to using Artillery.

As a member of the old guard (Player from first gen MH) I can confirm we were poor for a good portion of the time. And unlocking him from the get go was a pain when you played the game entirely solo.
