As someone who got a Nergigante, I can't help but notice how quiet his footsteps are when you ride him. You'd think a raging beast like this would have thunderous footsteps, but nope - he makes a soft patter. Maybe his feet evolved that way so he could sneak up on his prey, which I must remind you, are OTHER ELDER DRAGONS.
i just realised if stories was lore accurate (which would probably be kinda boring cause all the different egg patterns are gorgeous), you'd be picking up a weird lookin nergi spike
I just hit high rank and instantly grinded the last story zones (rare dens) until i got like 4 Nergis. A tip for his genes: GET ARACHNOPHOBIA (from shrouded Nercilla) 13 cost tech move that makes nergi a monster vs his counter (speed)
@@turkey4802 the method that Tagback describes in the video is okay. But personally I never did the whole reloading saves thing. I just went to the Terga Volcano Base and looked for gold/SR dens and then traveled back to the Catavan stand via the map after getting eggs. Traveling back the the Catavan stand reloads the dens and you can get other good monsties from them too, so killing your previous save is not the best method, in my opinion. I got three gold dens in one reload once and two Nergi eggs lol but it is definitely possible to get them from regular gold dens.
Use '1000 Blades' off a Seregios for a technical move, plus it can apply bleed. Dream set up is a bleed proc. on a downed monster and Reverto uses Ground Dragon Slash or whatever it's called. *Insert Phil Swift meme*
Also of note using Calamity Slash while riding the Nergigante will not put the Def down on you. Meaning if you are riding it you can do large damage, heal yourself and have no draw backs really. I have also used Crit Eye large on him (Still hunting for XL) and the crit damage you can get works very well with Dragon Eater.
try Nergigante with Arachnophobia (Non-Ele/Tech attack type/Poison/Paralysis) for all attack type Nergi (Power/Speed/Tech) on this build. It's pretty good :)
I've been so hesitant to watch anything mh stories related because I wanted to have a first time experience with everything and wow this got me excited, game finally finishes downloading in 20 minutes
Was it exactly after the boss fight because I just beat the boss and went back to village and then went egg hunting and been at it for over a hour and haven't found one yet
@@UsernameTheIII yes I have him as a buddy and did the mission where you fight the red rayed version of the monster and went back to the village and talked to the chief then immediately went egg hunting. I spent well over 2 hours and didn't find one doing this exact method.
@@iKrazyyi I just defeated Nerg and gone hunting right away with this method. Already got 2 diamond eggs within 30 mins of resetting and changing time from afternoon to night.
First time I got an egg, the game glitched and I ended up with 2 Rainbow Eggs. Saved pictures too. It was awesome. I got 2 perfect, fully opened slotted Nergigantes, one named Ruiner and another named Nexus. Ruiner will be my buddy for life and I'm taking him to fight the final boss with Ratha.
You rarely do head to heads? Well I dunno about everyone else but for me, I’ve done more double attacks through this game than any other type of attack
@@TagBackTv what the heck, I don’t know why but this is absolutely insane to me, I just had to test it with a bunch of talismans and stuff to see if this is correct, I’d honestly never even considered the idea that double attacks weren’t counted as head to heads, you have to win a head to head to get a double attack, that seriously baffles me, guess I wasted a bunch of time farming 3 vicious XL genes for my deviljho 😂
No lie, all I did was join an online mission with a nice guy two minutes after defeating the nergigante in story mode and got one immediately. Now I just need a few more power houses before going further into the game to have my perfect team.
I got a good nergi egg like, first try after beating it by just waiting at the catavan stand and heading into a rare den on low rank. Could not believe my luck, it's easily one of my favorite monsters. (Alongside Zinogre, Astalos, Nargacuga, I swear you can almost never pick just one.)
As I was watching this video I was looking for a nergi and I got him first try with self heal xl as soon as you said that is what you were looking for so know I will just make a unkillable nergi
Did you make a video about monster genes and how the system works? Im asking because i just bought this game (never played the 1st one) and want to be clear on what it does. Also nergi is my fav elder dragon too.
The first one is very good IMO. Maybe after part 2 you could play the first? Some of the characters in part 2 were in the first one. Like Avinia, and such
dragon eater on a dragon build is insanely op. Heal up almost to full and does crayzee damage with crit boost XL. almost 1k per attack. healing for nearly 300.
Was just watching this video for some reference as I just pulled a random rainbow nergigante egg in low rank ( first rare den after beating him) happy to have a build idea❤ thanks for the video
No clue if this is common knowledge or not but I never saw it in any build videos, if you give him the sharpen blades gene from nargacuga his black spikes show up on him for like 3 turns and he does a shit ton more damage and has a lot more def.
I've done this around 50 times and no luck and I just beat him in the main story. Im not sure how you got so lucky or if you have to go find one and beat it outside of the story then you can find their eggs? I'm so confused
I got 2 Nerg eggs by just going into dens after beating Nerg during the story. I'm still not done with the story yet tho and wanted to see what this video was talking about.
I have a feeling I will be spending many hundreds of hours playing this game. I did the same on the first game and watching this video, I think this is far bigger and diverse.
I wasn’t going to buy the game at first since I wanted to wait a bit for reviews and to see if I wanted it, since a lot of the time sequels are never as good as the first. I played the first MHs and I loved it, but on my birthday my friends both chipped in and got me mhs2 and once I got off of the island, I couldn’t put it down, I’m over 30 hours in and I’m at nergigante. They met and exceeded my expectations, and they gave us a better minimap they made the world levels more linear but in mhs1 when you died it was really hard to come back from, and the new monsties are great and they really fleshed out the old ones, but the only thing I was sad about was they got rid of one of the things that made querupecko my favorite monstie, they got rid of his monster call
Question. Why not just use the rite to put the genes desired on him? I get having a good start is key but seems to me it is hard enough getting a good nergi egg.
Meanwhile I'm trying to get Glavenus eggs and wound up with 5 Shiney nirgigante eggs. I've been getting so many I had to condense them by using the channeling ritual.
My nerg is literally built to counter any monster type and even on the first turn he got enough kenship to take on any head to head, I only really use nerg only bc there’s no reason to change him lol once I got him I started giving him all non elemental genes and been upgrading each gene to XL version so mine hits like a truck and honestly every high rank monster I’ve taken on only really hits me like once or twice so I’ve been beating everything easer than my friend and he’s level 60+ and I was only lvl 29 and beat the game lmao I haven’t lost one match since I got him can’t wait to try my build on pvp
You don't put a Critical (XL) gene? I started the game a few weeks ago and I'm before Oltura, I'm looking to customize a Nergigante currently. I put in the crit gene, non-elemental damage... I'm hesitant to put in the Dancer gene since he's almost always full of HP.
The only way you can get rid of the recoil damage is by turning the head-to-head into a double attack, by both using the same type of attack vs the enemy monster and winning vs their type of attack. Do keep in mind that some skills can't be linked into double attack though, like for example all of the gunlance skills.
Rare is still pretty good, Rainbow has a higher chance of good genese, but doesnt always mean it will. Iv had plenty of gold eggs I liked better than rainbow.
the rainbow nergi i got first had all of his skills he uses during his boss fight so i was happy bout that but now i need to replace the aracnaphobia i put in a sloot with somthing else then i need to get rid of the warm and cool genes it got and oddly every nergi ive gotten has usually had both temp genes and either nergis xl or l gene or both lol
PVP is already dead so i have a qeustion. I just want to do a 100% PVE contenct. Is make a sense for searching Seal Heal Geme XL if i found gem M fast?
Are you sure they're that rare? I beat him in the story today and have already had 3 rainbow, 1 gold and a few normal ones, my first 3 were rainbow though. They seem to pop up quite alot

Him: this thing is going to be a monster, me: actually it already is
Heyo, Tagback! I loved this. Nergigante is by far the best and coolest elder wrecking dragon!
Thanks a ton for this guide! Nergi is terrifying, but I’m almost ready to take him on and grab an egg

I have Savage Roar and Arachnaphobia on mine. If the enemy isn't immune Arachnaphobia always inflicts either a paralysis or poison. Sometimes both.

same i dont like taking too much damage when i can avoid it
@@oralblox3249 double attack isnt a head to head though.
There's a reason Double attack bonuses and HtH bonuses come in different genes/talismans lol

If you switch the time of day at the catavan you can just refresh the area for new dens instantly
You can teleport back to the area with the same effect but way faster
Is it me or non elemental are just built different

most people: struggling to get a nergigante egg
Me getting 3 nergigantes in a row, a rainbow on my 3rd attempt: yeaaah-
today i was on stories just grinding my astalos and out of nowhere trying to get some full gene astalos i get a rainbow nergi this made my day
how could capcom only gave 7 stars rarity for "the elder dragons' eater" elder dragon?
Thanks for the tipps mate :D and I got a Nergigante in my second try.

right as i clicked on the vid i hatched a elder dragon i got from a co-op SR den XD
Awesome video! And also I like the way you stacked his none elemental genes and I think I'll do that
how is this early??
dragon eater on a dragon build is insanely op. Heal up almost to full and does crayzee damage with crit boost XL. almost 1k per attack. healing for nearly 300.
Please send SS of that monsties genes
Got rainbow nergi egg on my first try, *immediately jumping around
That feeling when you get nergi out of a random nest before astalos
On my first Nergigante i got self heal XL
Me:watches video and finally knows where to go
Also me mid way through it:”YOO! GOLD NERGI EGG FOR MY FIRST ONE!”
Was just watching this video for some reference as I just pulled a random rainbow nergigante egg in low rank ( first rare den after beating him) happy to have a build idea❤ thanks for the video
I'm new to the series and love these guide videos thanks Tag!
I kinda wished Nergigante could fly..
What's the point of ditching the rainbow egg when you can just choose the gene and slot it in manually via rite of channeling?
I found a Nergigante egg in the first rare den that I visited after defeating the Nergigante in the main story
