As a switch axe main i was really lost as to how I could tackle this monster after trying so many times with different weapons. Thanks to you I've found the love for switchaxe again, keep it up man!
Well after coming here from Bata I finally beat Fatalis. It's been a long time since I used switch axe, I used it when I first started but kind of gave up on it, but I think you might have gotten me back into it. Great run! Definitely looking forward to watching more stuff from you.
Flawless MH Me too! I am a cb main and failed countless attempts. I tried the zsd build and got him on the first try! The sigh of relief felt can’t be explained. Thank you! Subscribed!
Thanks for this. I had 4 piece Fatalis armor from plundering alone, but needed kills/eyes (I tried the Frostcraft GS way, but totally not my style, couldn't get that to work). Your way helped me get the kill on both the Special mission and Event quest (3 man after the 4th disconnected, whew!)
I don't knw about y'all but I started Iceborne recently. Fatalis here I come! Bata told me to check this channel and men, phew.... explosives everywhere! New sub here. 1:50 my heart stopped for a millisec. Lol
INCREDIBLE! THANK YOU! Me: CB main in World exclusively through endgame Iceborne....until I found Bata & a new appreciation for gunners (and all their OP/cheesy builds). On his recommendation I'm stopping by to subscribe & learn from a top tier SA player! When Fatalis Arrived: 3 days of non-stop cart fests, I was ready to learn anything to beat this fight for the first time (personally I never fight any in a group until I beat it solo). Tried multiple builds & build combos but DPS was always lacking. Sleep bombing & sticky spam was somewhat effective but it took too much time to reliability advance the fight to the final 5% HP. After watching this video it's clear what I must do now. I must return to my roots & learn to use the technical weapon I immediately dropped for CB because of its short hops/limited mobility while equipped. Its time for the true DPS machine...the SWAG Ax! God help me... Well, even if I don't beat Fatalis today I WILL at least become proficient at basic Switch Ax attack combos & capable of using the ancient art of ZSD Spam! GG thanks for uploading this run, it's both impressive and incredibly helpful for players seeking a solution to their Fatalis "problem" haha 😄
My man, it's my pleasure and honour. Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm super happy to find someone else who likes Swaxe and be able to contribute to their experience. All the best with the grind bro
@@FlawlessMH I'm REALLY enjoying the weapon so far, totally different from the SA that I picked up in base MHW! With 3,000 hours logged and the Platinum achievement for both World + Iceborne I'm FINALLY learning my 4th weapon 😄 Oh random question BTW, are you playing on PC with a controller or do you play on Xbox? Mainly wondering because I'm on a One X (with an SSD) and with the game set to prioritize the framerate I feel like I'm incapable of performing some of the combos you pull off: BUT that could just be me not being used to the input delay between the various attacks/animations. No matter where you're playing I hope you keep up the great work! P.s If you do play on Xbox & occasionally hunt in groups look me up; SquadK . If you're not on there or you prefer solo, that's fine too! I'm just always looking to add people who really know this game. It can be fun helping MR 25 players beat their first Alatreon or MR Kulve; but hunting with 3 other players who know what they're doing is always the most fun (MR/HR999 generally means you're in for a good time lol) Although... I will admit it can turn into chaos when one player thinks it would be funny to lure something like a Savage Jho into the fight without anyone noticing until it's too late 🤣 Sorry for the long comment, it's a bad habit of mine. But I appreciate your patience if you actually took the time to read my ramblings, otherwise I get it: walls of text aren't exactly interesting to read haha
P.P.S! Just to be clear: I suggested you add me if you're on Xbox so we both have another person on our list of friends who can join a hunt & hold their own. I'm actively avoiding my current online friends until I manage this first damn solo Fatalis kill 😁 I don't wanna give the impression that I'm trying to lowkey find someone to carry me through this. If I was giving up and looking for a carry I'd asked directly. But that's never going to happen especially after my time trying to help randoms beat Alatreon, half of them weren't even upgrading their armor or making item loadouts/gear sets! It blew my mind 🤯 what's the point of winning if you're not putting in the work?! So yeah, just clarifying my intentions to be safe haha
@@Secret_Takodachi @cee kay dont worry about the long comments dude, I appreciate the time and effort, unfortunately I'm PC only, the default controls are just displayed as Xbox on PC even if you use a PS4 controller (which I am). Learning and timing SA hops + getting used to the movement and knowing the skill priority actually takes a lot of practice so you'll be fine with more hunts I guess, you sound like you know what you're doing anyway haha
@@threindwarf2654 yeah but it'd still be nice to see it. like, i most definately do not have all the needed decos, but i could at least get an idea of what to do. and, because my brain is smooth like marble, it isn't that easy for me to figure it out
Ffs, just watching this stresses the hell out of me. I hope switch axe can be my salvation for this fight, since with longsword all I get is "time's up".
Hi, i wanna why didnt I get any health regen after the zsd final explosion. Only getting regen when the chip damage started ,but ntg when it explode . I m on ps4 ,is that the problem?
this was the set I used in this run: honeyhunterworld.com/mhwbi/?2558,307,288,280,281,286,81,aff:1;def:1;health:1-;;;;-;;;;,0,0,139,161,0,158,158,359,345,345,345,100,53,0,157,68,68,298,298,298,5:10:16:31:31:5:5
if you want you can use the alatreon arms alpha + waist alpha for power prolonger 3 and attack boost 7 and use lunastra for the other 3 parts for tool specialist 5, you will be giving up divine blessing 5 though which i wouldnt recommend for comfort / ease of hunt
One question, why dont you always cancel ZSD? is it because you get in a more safe possition? or does the final explosion of ZSD do more damage when you dont cancel it? I dunno man Ive been always canceling it
You lose about 30% damage on the final explosion (not to mention the lost ticks) everytime you cancel zsd early, so it's better to take the risk that you get hit on landing or you lose too much damage overall. Of course if you know you'll get hit feel free to cancel early
Man i just stumbled across your channel and I'm glad I did. Awesome runs! I'm a Switchaxe Main myself and already learning from you. You got yourself a new sub from me for sure! I noticed you're playing on Xbox. Do you mind if we link up?
thank you for the kind words and welcome! unfortunately I'm on PC haha, the controls are just default labelled as xbox controls even though I use a ps4 controller, sorry :'c
The outfit is a combination of several mods. Those are linked in the description, otherwise the pendant is the one you get after beating Fatalis for the first time, remember to speak to the commander in Astera
@@FlawlessMH there is no reason not to wear male banbaro armor XD but that Energytail would have been the cherry on top I did only solo hunts so far and got 2 pieces of him done already BUT by the looks of it I definitely need health augment on my weapon
Power phial always. It gives 17% boost to raw and ZSD is heavily raw skewed in terms of damage especially the final explosion, for non-ZSD it will depend on the monster's hitzones
Thanks man. You helped me clear solo Fatalis. I have a quick question though, how do you heal off the explosion on zsd? Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think it heals me.
Congrats man! If you have health augment, you will always heal from that, it might be that you didn't notice it happening or it was interrupted by Fatalis's attack

Good run
Thanks!
Got alot of strats on your run thanks ^°
Impressive.
thank you!
Just learning Swaxe, how do you CC then Aed right after like that? I can't figure it out
The sword has to be fully amped (charged) first, then clutch + Triangle + circle to begin ZSD, spam Triangle to continue
Liked! Subbed! New fan!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
That X-veemon 😲😲😲
Yes now maybe after many many failed attempts I can hopefully have one less failed attempt and 1 kill. Thanks! ;)
good luck!

Tbh why feels like someone play Dark Soul or BloodBorne instead of playing MHW/IceBorne?
you got it bro, the soundtrack is from Dark Souls 3, Darkeater Midir's theme
@Flawless MH
I sorry for late reply but damn I didn’t knew this theme was from actually Dark Soul. Lmao
How did you install both of the switchaxe effect mods? cant get t to work without replacing files
there's only 1 conflicting file, 001, just use the one which you prefer, in this case I chose the layered phial one

What swaxe should I use if I don't have the fatalis one? I used all my eyes :
ideally a safi dragon/para axe or lightbreak, you'll get the eyes soon for sure because of zsd easy headbreak

dont worry, the fight is pretty punishing, and there's a lot of divine blessing rng and some rng for his moves too to have easy clears
