Very nice to see an honest guide, with all the irregularities someone is usually encountering like accidental reloads, stuns at the wrong moment, missing the claw to the head and so on. Thumbs up bro
The real challenge of this monster is trying to keep your teammates from dying. Once one of them dies they all forget how the game is played and we have an insta loss.
khalid a Bruh I have an sns build with wide range 5 and a whole lot of skills I have mega potions I use all defence boost items and I try my best to always keep them up and they still die. We honestly need a solution for bad teammates.
Juan For some reason you being salty feels like you’re one of the people who die instantly and lose people the match, I can play solo and defeat him but where’s the fun in that. Sometimes when you play with good randoms you have so much fun and it makes the fight easier. RUclips is filled with videos like these on how you should play or how you can improve yourself, they’re just not taking the time of day to give a fuck about them. And you can’t argue that they don’t have time for such trivial matters now that everyone is forced to stay home.
I've found evade extender and evade window to be extremely useful against brachy raging brachy. Extender let's you get out of the blast puddles and most of his attacks are easy to with the forward hop. You'll have a lot less down time than with guarding, i have no points in guard, the play style is so much more rewarding ! Also negates the need for earplugs
Nice guide over there! I also like to put double maintenance slot on my mantles to reduce the cooldown of one while I'm wearing the other, it's pretty neat
I used to do that but I now feel this is a waste of the slots, bc one mantle never gets the use out of maintenance, and they often desync from each other in a way that makes maintenance not useful.
Was giggling the whole fight as I can hear how excited you were at certain times....then you went from brofessor, to Bruh...lol that " come here bit-" at the end had me rolling
I learned a good way to add guard if you dont have the jewel is Uragan Ambition on a safi weapon, and the uragan beta pants. Not the best the jewels, but it does add some guard
This is just amazing how you did that in such a relaxed way! All thumbs up. I hope i wil master the raging Brachy too - sometime. I tried it really often, but when i feel prepared - my teammates are not! I think i will "doing it solo" give a chance! Greetings from bavaria! Stay healthy!
@@CrossingWays yea definitely, like getting used to not reloading after the dodge, and using the forward poke to reposition, but he still finished it without carting, he's good
Watch for the parts of its body that turn red. That means the slime is about to fall off and explode! You can also use your slinger to expunge the red slime. But be careful for where your teammates are.
This is some sort of trick, my palico misses every heal, I never stop getting attacked long enough to heal or recover. I get run out of stamina and slow burn to death while that goddamn cat stares at me.
I think earplug is a bit redundant as Shield can block roar as long as it face right direction and gunlance has a few move that have high commitment:, so you would likely in state that you can guard the roar almost instantly. Not like I disagree for earplug since sometime it's hard to face right to guard roar and gunlance's Shelling need few mandatory skill so you likely to have space for jewels left.
Cool vid. Was helpful to sone extent, since i dont have enough decos yet. Not sure if its my distance, but when i hop closer to him when he is about to punch, i still get hit. E. Extender 3 and Window 3 does wonders, but maybe i need more Window?
Can anyone help?? I’ve been trying to gather research in the elders recess for Gold Rathian investigations because that’s the only thing I can find online. I’ve gathered 800 investigations with not one single G Rath investigation. I am MR 81 and have fought a few in the GL. Am I missing anything?? Thank you
I had the same issue, the only thing I could say do is just keep gathering g rath tracks in the wildspire biome until you get one. Even if it's a crappy investigation just run it to farm tracks.
Sean Culbertson you found investigations in the wildspire GL region?? Interesting. Thanks for commenting mate. Earlier today I got an investigation from a gold Rath slay and that wasn’t even a G Rath one :L
Slot-wise, I think your build should be the most efficient, and if you use 3 earplug/vitality instead, you can put 2 levels of evade extender, so you can back hop to chase the monster much more effectively, which is especially nice for multiplayer. However, 3 earplug/vitality is pretty difficult to get. Alternatively, if you use zorah alpha body, damascus waist, earplug charm and a level 4 slot upgrade instead of level 6 sharpness increase, you can use 2 charger/vitality and 1 earplug/vitality. Then you can still stuck 2 level of evade extender.
I didnt need slot upgrade vi, but I suppose you could do that if you wanted to. Since I already have a shield, divine protection 5 feels unnecessary Slinger capacity 5 is important for giving yourself uptime on your damage bonus from the wyrmstake
I actually forgot once when I made a new set that wasn’t specific for raging brach and went in without checking. Funny part is we won and I was the only one who didn’t die, but I had to be extremely careful
Unless I'm using the SS which I've done, then I'm running antiblast against that A hole. SS got mobility so you can roll everything. But everything else yah gotta have antiblast
Ok so I've heard from multiple people that blast resistance doesn't do anything for his slime. Does it just not prevent the scourgeblight, or does it just not decrease the damage taken?
@@jamiejamie8 you gotta have it unless you like rolling... Alot of rolling. You will not get it however you will still take explosive damage but it's reduced if you got lvl 3. Divine blessing is pretty much a must have too bc if you don't use it your chances of getting 1 shotted go way up. My advice do it solo until you know all of his movements than try it with other people.most of the time people just screw things up
I think is called wyrsmtrike or something like that. It's an iceborne addition for Gunlance. You use your sling ammo in the weapon and you gain some kind of "sticky mine". Every damage you deal in the area close to the sticky deals extra
How is a new player able to get this gear? People kick me from Safi because I don't even have the meta teo/brachy gear. Also required an insane MR. I tried to do Safi all week but I couldn't find a Single group that won't kick me.
Not using the gunlance but I did pick up The regular Lance while it doesn't do the most damage and honestly needs a buff to keep up with the rest of the weapons... I feel like I figured out why they will not seemingly buff it. It has such high defensive capabilities You're literally invincible with the right setup If you also had high DPS it wouldn't make Lance absurdly out-class every weapon in my opinion I feel like they will not give the Lance more damage because it's supposed to lean more into the defensive capability. Speaking of countering the clutch claw counter that is absolutely satisfying while I do hope they give it a bit more damage as it seemingly the only weapon they refuse to buff I don't mind it
But the gunlance which has the same defense capabilities does way more damage compared to lance, especially with long shells since you don't even have to tenderize a spot. Lance needs a damage buff, or give it a more robust shield, Temp Rajang still does a shit ton of dmg even with Guard up and guard 5.
@@GeneralKnife That's very unfortunate I just don't feel like trying gun Lance but I have the equipment certainly to do it maybe I will although I don't feel like farming SafijivaThe event ends tomorrow but I'm so burned out so I think I'll just try to make the RB gunlance if anything
@@GeneralKnife Agreed, if the trade-off is the weakest offense for the strongest defense, lance shouldn't have chip damage, or maybe blocking shouldn't reduce stamina. Lance's defense is far from impenetrable against these late-game monsters. Personally, I feel how the shield works now is fair but the lance should do a bit more damage to encourage aggressive play.
the only buff lance needs is the challenger mantle to last even after getting hit and last longer than most other mantles, buff the challenger mantle not the lance
How many hunts does he have with the gunlance? Not trying to be "that guy" but there are more efficient pieces to use than this build, I also have 2000 hunts with the GL Seems like one of those budget builds
Unless you're a speed runner why in the hell do I see so many hunters with no defense? 90% of the time I play solo every monster now I've done solo. Even the ancient lechien. I will always have health boost, divine blessing or tool specialist or combo it. Hell I have no problem running all three. Sure you don't do massive amounts of damage but guess what you will not get carted and if you do you F'd up. I'll argue that the majority of players would do more damage on average with a defense build over offense bc if you're in the fight you're dealing consistent damage over the all damage YOLO jackass running 5piece Safi set with no health boost thinking he gonna KO in 1 swing.
It takes so long to get that weird in between animation wher the weapon is halfway put away and clutch is out in total it takes more time and never works in practice for me atleast
@@RhynnMedia I honestly doubt it since GL doesn't have to do the weird clutch claw stance the Lance has to go through, together with GL having the second longest sheathing animation in the game.
Been playing MH4U these past weeks with full groups on the 3DS and getting back to MHW, I gotta say: Temporal mantles ruined this game. Every single one uses them and it's completely lazy. It took every precaution people SHOULD have, specially when the monster is enraged. The entire point of this game is carefully avoiding stuff and watching out for monster attacks and this stupid mantle took that off of us, for a major part of most fights. And it replenishes way too fast and I see people using 2 to 3 times in a fight.

They also die within 1 minute then instantly abandon so you get screwed
Even when i use my healing skills random bitchs still dying!

700 hours into the game and i never knew there was earplug combo decos.
Me neither. I wish
F
3500 hours into the Game and i doesnt have one shield Up
@@Flamerule13th Not rly guard in Combo is rare too
700 hours Jesus and i thought my 345 are bad
This is a good guide. I was just thinking of a good build for using gunlance against him since I been feeling the weapon lately.
Was giggling the whole fight as I can hear how excited you were at certain times....then you went from brofessor, to Bruh...lol that " come here bit-" at the end had me rolling
This monster is going to make me pop a blood vessel. You make it look so easy.
Hey GE, what was the music you used in this video? Super mellow and calming :)
Song from the second half of the gameplay is "Quiet Water" from Undertale. First gameplay song is so familiar but can't find it :( reminds me of FTL
First song is Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G, Movement I (Allegro), BWV 1049. Also the Sam O'Nella opening song.
Rocksteady is the MOST important mantle for GL imo. It allows you to place the stake unimpeded ( just be careful)
I learned a good way to add guard if you dont have the jewel is Uragan Ambition on a safi weapon, and the uragan beta pants. Not the best the jewels, but it does add some guard
To avoid accident slow reloads You can mix hops with running attack and initiate charged shot instead of hit with it or after that.
This is just amazing how you did that in such a relaxed way! All thumbs up. I hope i wil master the raging Brachy too - sometime.
I tried it really often, but when i feel prepared - my teammates are not! I think i will "doing it solo" give a chance!
Greetings from bavaria! Stay healthy!
ngl as a gunlance main, it kinda hurts my head to watch this fight lmao
good guide though keep it uppp
What could he have done better? I'm sure plenty, right?
@@CrossingWays yea definitely, like getting used to not reloading after the dodge, and using the forward poke to reposition, but he still finished it without carting, he's good
Keep up the awesome videos and I am with you love counter build for specific monsters
You talk a lot, I like it, can fall asleep fast and listen in the bathroom because of course I get bored in the shower
The easy tripping and clutch staggering is just a feature of the gunlance long shelling. It does this to every monster.
Watch for the parts of its body that turn red. That means the slime is about to fall off and explode!
You can also use your slinger to expunge the red slime. But be careful for where your teammates are.
Also bring fire mantle the pudles wont give you blastblight.
No need for fireproof with blast resistance.
@@AK33M I mean yeah but if you dont have any decorations or armor with that and you don't wanna grind its an option.
@@skelt0s very true
This is some sort of trick, my palico misses every heal, I never stop getting attacked long enough to heal or recover. I get run out of stamina and slow burn to death while that goddamn cat stares at me.
Just started using gunlance and I gotta say it's a blast!
You can't really run GL without Health Aug, cause that chip damage will be the end of you. Maybe you can manage with evade extender
I think earplug is a bit redundant as Shield can block roar as long as it face right direction and gunlance has a few move that have high commitment:, so you would likely in state that you can guard the roar almost instantly.
Not like I disagree for earplug since sometime it's hard to face right to guard roar and gunlance's Shelling need few mandatory skill so you likely to have space for jewels left.
even guarding the roar stuns you a bit as a recovery animation from blocking it
Wait a minute You're saying any shield in the game can block a roar?? I just picked up regular Lance did not know this game changing TY
@@mattmanley7118 If you have offensive guard with the right timing you can activate it off of a roar.
@@bringerchaos4142 WOW

It's all RNG keep at it and I'm sure you'll get one. Also searching for g rath specific quests will help as well.
Sean Culbertson through SOS’s? Or is there another way?
Sos or investigations but you will unlock tales of sun and moon at MR 125. Sorry if the title is wrong but it's a G rath and silver los quest.

And why not go Divine blessing 5 instead of slinger capacity5?
I didnt need slot upgrade vi, but I suppose you could do that if you wanted to.
Since I already have a shield, divine protection 5 feels unnecessary
Slinger capacity 5 is important for giving yourself uptime on your damage bonus from the wyrmstake
Imagine having teammates that doesn't use antiblast in their build while fighting this guy.....

@@arethas6537 yeah
Analritter thats the silver knight layered armor. it comes from a deluxe kit which you can buy from the ps store or steam if ur on pc
@@arethas6537 Thank you! Is there a way to get this armor through gameplay alone, without buying it?
Analritter sadly no :(
That one move you said needs guard up may not need it. You were standing in the middle of it so it would hit you from behind even if you guarded it
I don't use Guard up and I can block all his attacks.
Does heat guard nullify the damage from the slime on last stage?
This Guy Roll Needs nope. You need high fire resistance or the flame mantle to negate the damage. Blight resistance won’t work too.
Just to note. U don't have to sheath to clutch claw
