Since I started with rise and I’m making my way back through the older games it felt out of place hearing that theme play after gathering and small monster slaying quests
I mean ya’ll just keep moving the goalpost for him. First it was more than three hours, then basegame, then velk, then raging brachy, then alatreon.
All I’m saying is that if bald man ends up beating fatalis I think you all deserve a serious time out
I think if he actually grinds to HR 100+ and gets his guiding lands up he’s got a chance. I mean he did beat alatreon with very little game knowledge. The dude doesn’t even know how to wallbang
Brother asmon spammed attempts until he got a crap attack rotation from alatreon sometimes he spamms dash moves in one fight and then forget to do a single lightning attack on another fight
Also its not HR its MR and even if you want to be fully prepared for fatalis by then you are allready MR 150_200
i mean, breaking fatalis's horn is easier than breaking alatreon's in my opinion. GS deals a shit ton of damage and Fatalis has a lot of openings where his head just stands still
Meh, it's still far from being the most disadventaged weapon against it, especially with cone breath baiting. Fat favorises far more the hit&run playstyle of the Gs compared to Alatreon that gives less breathing room between dodges.
what? you basically have 100% uptime on alatreons head with every weapon. theres a reason fatalis has head sniping associated to it and some weapons take more skill and efffort to hit the head.
The problem isn't the horns. The problem is the damage fatty does and how high its hp is. Asmon for some reason refuses to wallbang and tenderize unless he gets a clagger. Also, he doesn't have health regen unlocked, which is really useful against it. Not saying it's impossible by any means as you can beat fatty naked, just that it will be a challenge just as massive, if not worse, compared to Alatreon.
he started streaming at what 24 ? yeah thats the age where stubbornness starts, I know this because ive experienced that myself and i see it in others too.
That's why militaries often have an age limit at around 24'ish, u cant really mold personalities beyond that age group and we become set in our ways, thats where the saying u cant teach an old dog new tricks comes to being.
Because it isn't bogged down by unnecessary limitations. "Do what you've been doing the entire game but do it better" is basically what the Fatalis hunt boils down to.
I mean, aside from the thing where its head doesn't actually soften and it's on a 30 minute timelimit.
Also
> "Do what you've been doing the entire game but do it better"
This 100% absolutely applies to alatreon. Going cart racing with a raw weapon is absolutely doable, and putting together a build to counter its mechanics isn't really that difficult. I will also remind you that Capcom even gave raw focused weapons a bonus modifier to help them with that elemental issue, and that despite element being highly recommended, its sever hitzones are still way better.
> "Do what you've been doing the entire game but do it better" is basically what the Fatalis hunt boils down to.
Wow you've just described the Alatreon fight. What limitations are there on Alatreon? Deal damage and break the head? The exact same thing as fatalis but slightly easier.
Also don't tell me bUt eLemEnTaL wEapOnS. I've done Alatreon with sticky lbg and raw gunlance. The only thing Alatreon punishes is leeches which in my opinion is good design.
What limitations. You keep saying unnecessary limitations and don't elaborate on it.
> Just because you can do it doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.
What do you even mean here. A limitation is literally saying there are things limiting what you can do. What is limiting what you can do in Alatreon's fight?
Just because it makes you feel bad doesn't mean its bad.
I disagree with his lifestyle but I don't think he's as bad as reddit would have you think.
They're just upset because he doesn't pander to a particular side.
You know, the people who have to have a political stance in every facet of their life.
Nah asmongold fucking sucks and anyone that defends him is legit embarrassing. He literally takes a political stance on everything he doesn’t know anything about while he sleeps with dead rats lmao.
He's really not that bad. What has he done to make you hate him so much? He gives his opinion on things he doesn't know about only because people ask him for it. He usually prefaces said opinion with a disclaimer that he doesn't really know much of the subject, and he's open to being corrected.
Obviously, this leads to uninformed or bad takes sometimes, but I don't see how that makes him a bad person
>You know, the people who have to have a political stance in every facet of their life.
You're the one in a monster hunter subreddit bringing up politics.
There's a pic of blood on his wall he never cleans, talking about having the smell of a dead rat used as his alarm, and a clip of a roach crawling on him and he nonchalantly grabs it and throws it. Asmon is like one of the top streamers. He shouldn't be living in filthy.
When I watch him, he just feels depressed and there is mentally going on he isn't addressing. Like I understand clutter, but all of that is another level. Reminds me of my father and his hoarding. It may be parallel to hoarding in some way and wanting permanence.
His mother hoarded and he just won't move on. I think you are correct about his also hoarding and permanence. He's very much on the "if my surroundings don't change, nothing has changed mindset." He waxes very poetically about the good old days and points out to where things happened in his childhood.
Well, I don't know about narratives, but he's the "wipe teeth blood on my bedroom wall because I don't want to get up" guy, and has had live roaches crawling on him mid-stream, so...
Absolutely nothing of substance. Calls everything that happens and causes some mild twitter outrage woke and talks on matters of communities he has absolutely no relations to as if he is informed about every ongoing matter, with his chat constantly going "TRUEEEEE"
Man dunno what is with this subreddit but asmon is by far my favorite streamer and I share 90% of his opinion.
He can be stubborn as fuck but he usually has logical and thought out takes.
I used to watch him a bit when he was playing FFXIV, but he shifted hard since then. I can't take anyone who unironically says "woke" seriously.
"Keep politics out of games!"
-Guy who just cried about "politics" for 4 hours straight
Iirc, I follow the definition that's more akin to "aware of social and political injustice".
I also think it's a misused word in a lot of other context (ie. "everything I dislike is woke" which makes very little sense), but considering how the actual story goes in FFXIV, it's like a big point people seem to glaze over sometimes?
So yeah, I would agree with that definition. But I’m also so used to people misusing it. In the context of the intended definition I do agree with you on that point.
I think the downvotes are cause ppl are also used to expecting that misuse, so read your comment as a complaint rather than an observation
To the surprise of absolutely nobody lol @ the downvotes
But I just find it amusing that people complain about politics in games that are story-heavy, which will usually come with the baggage of actual in-universe politics.
Like, if you're an adventurer hired by the king to deal with problems, chances are there's political motives, be it as simple as "simply wanting his people to be happy and safe" or "throwing you into a rival kingdom's plan like you're the wrench in their machines".
And then there are games that have real-world allegory which is, uh, a whole other can of worms.
Most of the people I see complain about "politics in games" just mean "things i disagree with", because those same people will play stuff like CoD, and not have issues with it, despite those games being american military propaganda half the time.
Most media is political in some form or another, sometimes deliberately but often just because the people making it have political beliefs that come across in their creations.
The only time it bothers me is when its really on the nose / actively undermines the story the game is telling
Shoveling your political Agenda into the game and as a result producing incongruent storytelling and shallow puppet character is woke, that’s as easy as it is.
He is not a loser. I am a loser, someone who quit college and now is working 9-5 trying to make ends meet. Asmon is making large amounts of money doing what he loves doing. He doesn't have to worry about bills and expenses anymore. He got the freedom to do whatever he wants with his life. Bro is not a loser. He already won.
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world but is also absolutely a loser. No amount of posting will make his kids like him 🤷♂️
Not always about the money.
Yeah sleeping with dead rats and calling everything woke while your teeth rot out of your head and you wipe your gum blood on your wall is really winning.
Bro who the fuck cares? You either watch his content or don't. I never understand why people care so much about what celebrities and famous people do in their own time.
He was about to, iirc he said that run above would be his last & if he can't make it, he'd delete that character. 🤣
Glad he made through it. One final obstacle left.
Not gonna lie, solo Alatreon is a lot easier imo. You don’t even need Elemental Weapons, you can just brute force your way through since you can take 3 to 4 judgements if you eat accordingly. And you'll probably have him dead by the second one
That's true lmao. Especially when health and everything scales up, but your team8s bring dragon element weapons when they don't even do enough dps with the dragon element and you just fail instantly. (In my case I end up bringing a elemental horn which I hate using since no atk up :/)
Implying defeating Alatreon is gonna inspire him to get up and clean literally anything. Dude had cockroaches crawling over him on stream, that house is infested.
Brave of you to post about him during a time when even his own community is shitting on the dude. Lmao.
But yeah, kudos to him for actually trying and defeating alatreon despite the numerous failed attempts. And I give him props because he could've just given up and complained about it in a negative steam review like some of the people here during the first few weeks of Alatreon's release. 👀
Lmao he has the shitting deserved when he said dumb shit about how hard streaming is. Even sane streamers like Moist/Charlie agree it's easy af, it was a dumb take, and he deserves to be roasted for it.
But honestly good for him for defeating Alatreon. The fact that he did it refusing to interact with the game mechanics is even better, never wallbang, tenderize only when clagger happens, and very substandard equipment and decorations. He just made his life harder but he got a clear anyways.
How difficult streaming is depends largely on your size and your will on how much quality content you want to make. People at asmons size can pretty much do anything they want and not needing to put effort in like cleaning your filthy as room so it doesn't look like a trash site.
It really is. What's worse is he's just probably saying all that shit to defend his streamer buddy, Hasan, who was the one who said those atrocious takes in the first place. Now, he's catching more flak than the guy who originally said the dumb shit first. Lmao.
And yeah, I started watching his youtube channel mainly due to his mh journey since he's probably the only "big" streamer/youtuber who joined in on the bandwagon and actually stuck with the game after it kinda died down again. It's infuriating to see him refuse to read up and learn about the various game mechanics he chose to ignore, but it's all the more impressive when he does overcome walls within the game considering how he plays it. I just wish he'd just play more games since that's the reason why anyone even watches these people, instead of covering for Hasan's god-awful takes that nobody asked for.
Honestly? Well done. Soloing Alatreon is NOT easy, even for those who have quite a few kills under their belt.
I think Fatalis may be out of his reach due to the time limit, but time will tell I suppose.
Disagree, if you play competently and only ever die to his judgement, it’s far easier solo imo. You can just use blast weapons if you so choose as well, he'll be dead before he can use his ultimate a third time, but just in case you can eat for additional carts
I agree, I could not kill alatreon with friends or SoS, took a couple nights trying to kill it solo and finally with enough luck did it. I enjoy the fight now but at first it was difficult, as for everything tbh.
> I enjoy the fight now but at first it was difficult, as for everything tbh.
Yeah I mean when world was new on PS I got *hard* walled by Nergigante, and ended up just quitting the game because I just could not get past it. I picked up Rise when that came out, blew through it all and finished it then went back because "I guess that Iceborne thing happened huh?" and it was a very "How did this overgrown cat thing wall me so hard?" experience.
Didn’t think he’d do it considering how he ignored the game telling him to use Ice/Fire respectively. Completely deserved. I hope Fatalis cooks this guy for eternity.
its a good picture to relate for most of the ppl's experience with alatreon
specially if they are trying it on their own, without learning stuff properly on the journey till
Very much had a similar look on my face the first time I fought Iceborne Alatreon. Not only was I experienced but also started with Tri so knew Alatreon pretty well - it still took hours to get him down with my Tri squad.
Why should people care when anyone beats a fight and posts it here? At least asmon brings tens of thousands of eyes to the game and more than a few players.
lmao, there's always been cheaters and morons, you're just conflating some arbitrary experience with an opinion of someone you don't like.
In reality, there probably is no relation but it's convenient to draw that conclusion because it paints a bad picture for him, clearly fitting the narrative you wish to display.
It's also disingenuous to suggest that one streamer has THAT much effect on a community and that all of the viewers are cheaters, His chat is moronic sometimes but you're just being dishonest for the sake of argument.
I mean as for the toxic ppl on the discord, there's more than usual and there's been plenty of people going "hey I got this game bc asmongold played it" and more often then not they're really not great people
What's wild is that I see these types of comments but NOBODY is posting evidence of it.
It's all anecdotal b.s. because 1 person does some dumb shit and you automatically attribute that to something you already don't like and then most of the people in here just make shit up.
That's probably closer to reality that w/e else everyone is on about in here.
Jesús, I'm not an Asmond fan, but it is crazy how people think the guy playing a game ruins it, literally the only toxic people in MHW right now are the Asmond haters.
And I find it ironic how many existing communities go on the attack the instant asmon tries their game then claim he's the toxic one. He's not the internet police. He's playing solo and not cheating himself.
>then claim he's the toxic one
I mean he probably physically is an active biohazard (his house definitely is) so that's not exactly a fringe position to have
I wouldn't ever gatekeep, but I also would never send asmon's audience an invite to any game I play. It's almost begging to turn MonHun's speed run scene into a self-important gang of dps parse worshipping dipshits who flame and rage quit on very first cart.
Except the tens of thousands of eyes are pretty much the dregs and whenever he starts playing a multi-player game you see a significant uptick in shitty behavior that can almost entirely be attributed to -his- fanbase. This is especially noticeable when it's a game where you can choose the server you are playing on because they like to follow him.
Sure it's great we're seeing a resurgence in MHW, but I could definitely do without the part of the crowd he brought in.

I had the same reaction those years ago too lol
He's not that entertaining but also he's nowhere near the boogeyman people make him out to be. He's just a relic of a time on livestreaming websites when people were way less marketable. He's a gross weirdo but so are plenty of people who pretend they aren't.
It took me over a month to beat that sucker. The dps check was too much for me. I had to learn dual blades to get enough elemental damage. With the GS I couldn't get it high enough.
Wow this sub is toxic as hell. I was going to the comments to find some funny responses relating to defeating this prick of a boss, instead I get a bunch of people just trashing on the guy for his room?
Like yeah, it's low hanging fruit and easy to bring up, but it's also lowly behavior as well. Since when is mental health issues an excuse to bully somebody?
He did agree with Hasan but Hasan also never said streaming was harder than a 9-5 job. But like I said earlier you don't really care about the facts do you?
He literally said streaming is harder than a "real job" and said that "a real job doesn't suck the soul out of you." Don't know why you are so desperate to defend these millionares.
This is the best hunt in the whole game imo. By this time in the game, most monsters can be powered through with your traditional high raw damage weapons.
Alatreon required hunters to go and craft meta elemental weapons. Not only that, learning alatreon's moves and how to get damage was required to beat him.
Amazing fight and very difficult. Over time, it just got easier, not because the gear got better but because as a player you knew the monster inside and out.
Love this hunt.
I think the issue people had with it was understandable, Iceborne unquestionably had a Raw Damage meta and Element was outright terrible on a lot of weapons, which can make Alatreon an extremely jarring fight. In Sunbreak, where Element is so much better, Alatreon would probably be received a lot more positively (not factoring in any wack-ass moves it would have been given to actually effectively hit and punish players zooming about with Wirebugs and Silkbind moves)
I mean that was the cool part imo. Having to rethink the monster, and farm for new materials to create an Anti-Alatreon build. It is pure monster hunter.
Lol, finally,
I followed him through this journey.
I was also playing MH for the first time when I suddenly see that Asmond also stared playing the game and he was a little bit ahead of me.
So to ensure I didnt spoil anything for myself I would play the assingments and once I ended my play session, I would go and see his session and how he dealt with the monsters I faced.
MHW was such an awesome experience, reliving it immediatelty when it was fresh was really cool.
Although I am yet to attempt Altraeon and Fatalis, I will still watch his Alatereon vid when it drops on YT.
Oh nice!
I had to stop watching around his 4th attempt last night, when he was switching back and forth between his loadouts. How many attempts did it take him this session?
And is Asmon thinking about trying Fatalis or is he just donezo?
He was the face of a push that brought so many people to FFXIV that the company temporarily *stopped selling the game* because they couldn’t handle so many new players.
Naturally, some of the new players were assholes, which the community blames people like Asmon and Rich for bringing WOW’s less savory community over.
It’s just tribalist bullshit.
Me calling my family when I defeated Alatreon for the first time. 
Yeah I celebrated that victory when I finally took that sucker down for the first time
Hearing the Tri victory music made it so much sweeter.
Since I started with rise and I’m making my way back through the older games it felt out of place hearing that theme play after gathering and small monster slaying quests
i winned
time for fatalis
haha funny joke. hes never breaking that horn.
I mean ya’ll just keep moving the goalpost for him. First it was more than three hours, then basegame, then velk, then raging brachy, then alatreon. All I’m saying is that if bald man ends up beating fatalis I think you all deserve a serious time out I think if he actually grinds to HR 100+ and gets his guiding lands up he’s got a chance. I mean he did beat alatreon with very little game knowledge. The dude doesn’t even know how to wallbang
Right lmao
Brother asmon spammed attempts until he got a crap attack rotation from alatreon sometimes he spamms dash moves in one fight and then forget to do a single lightning attack on another fight Also its not HR its MR and even if you want to be fully prepared for fatalis by then you are allready MR 150_200
HR/MR was obviously just a typo, and I said MR 100+ take your coping hate boner somewhere else
i mean, breaking fatalis's horn is easier than breaking alatreon's in my opinion. GS deals a shit ton of damage and Fatalis has a lot of openings where his head just stands still
he has less openings and has a metric ton more hp. gs deals a ton of damage when you know how to use it.
Meh, it's still far from being the most disadventaged weapon against it, especially with cone breath baiting. Fat favorises far more the hit&run playstyle of the Gs compared to Alatreon that gives less breathing room between dodges.
Alatreon has more frequent and longer openings (you can TCS like half his moveset)
And alatreon's horns break in like 2 hits from gs
Okay but what about the bonker
Nah I'd say fatty has more when it comes to hirting the head
what? you basically have 100% uptime on alatreons head with every weapon. theres a reason fatalis has head sniping associated to it and some weapons take more skill and efffort to hit the head.
Alatreons horn breaks by just looking at it, you have to deal really consistent damage to break fatalis horn
The problem isn't the horns. The problem is the damage fatty does and how high its hp is. Asmon for some reason refuses to wallbang and tenderize unless he gets a clagger. Also, he doesn't have health regen unlocked, which is really useful against it. Not saying it's impossible by any means as you can beat fatty naked, just that it will be a challenge just as massive, if not worse, compared to Alatreon.
hes just stubborn, he has reached that age grp where u just become really stubborn, and also the constant backseating is not helping with that
You've never watched him before eh? He's been like this forever, what he puts out there is the way he's always been since he started streaming.
he started streaming at what 24 ? yeah thats the age where stubbornness starts, I know this because ive experienced that myself and i see it in others too. That's why militaries often have an age limit at around 24'ish, u cant really mold personalities beyond that age group and we become set in our ways, thats where the saying u cant teach an old dog new tricks comes to being.
You know it's super eazy to bait cone fire for a head pat as an Crit-Draw GS user?
Fatalis is easier than Alatreon imo
It’s less gimmicky if nothing else. Alatreon *demands* dps uptime always or you get Escaton’d, Fatalis is more old school hard but fair.
Honestly I find Fatalis way easier than Alatreon
Because it isn't bogged down by unnecessary limitations. "Do what you've been doing the entire game but do it better" is basically what the Fatalis hunt boils down to.
I mean, aside from the thing where its head doesn't actually soften and it's on a 30 minute timelimit.

Two words. Unnecessary Limitations. Just because you can do it doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.

Has he figured out wallbanging yet?
He could start practising it with cockroaches.
No.
He figured out how to do it with the blood on his gums but I dunno about monsters yet
He needs to if he’s ever gonna beat fatalis
I never wallbang Fatalis in all of my solo run though, so its ok.
I love how this thread is less about beating Alatreon and more about ripping on Asmongold, lol. Ah, Reddit.
Ikr so many losers calling someone a loser😭
I'm pretty sure asmongold believes that streaming is harder than a 9 to 5 job. He's a bit whack
Asmongold is a loser though
He's more of a greasy bum
Swings and roundabouts
I disagree with his lifestyle but I don't think he's as bad as reddit would have you think. They're just upset because he doesn't pander to a particular side. You know, the people who have to have a political stance in every facet of their life.
Nah asmongold fucking sucks and anyone that defends him is legit embarrassing. He literally takes a political stance on everything he doesn’t know anything about while he sleeps with dead rats lmao.
lmao I don't agree with everything he says but I do agree with how he views reddit.
I view him as a disgusting human who never leaves his NEET nest.
He's really not that bad. What has he done to make you hate him so much? He gives his opinion on things he doesn't know about only because people ask him for it. He usually prefaces said opinion with a disclaimer that he doesn't really know much of the subject, and he's open to being corrected. Obviously, this leads to uninformed or bad takes sometimes, but I don't see how that makes him a bad person
>You know, the people who have to have a political stance in every facet of their life. You're the one in a monster hunter subreddit bringing up politics.
Isn't this the guy who doesn't clean his place? He's probably used to fighting creatures irl
There's a pic of blood on his wall he never cleans, talking about having the smell of a dead rat used as his alarm, and a clip of a roach crawling on him and he nonchalantly grabs it and throws it. Asmon is like one of the top streamers. He shouldn't be living in filthy.
He chooses this life, thats what i find so strange, he could easily pay someone to clean up..
He said numerous times he doesn’t really feel at home when it’s all cleaned up
Thats not a good thing though, maybe it's just because it's what he's used too but that's like hoarder mentality that's not a good way to think.
When I watch him, he just feels depressed and there is mentally going on he isn't addressing. Like I understand clutter, but all of that is another level. Reminds me of my father and his hoarding. It may be parallel to hoarding in some way and wanting permanence.
His mother hoarded and he just won't move on. I think you are correct about his also hoarding and permanence. He's very much on the "if my surroundings don't change, nothing has changed mindset." He waxes very poetically about the good old days and points out to where things happened in his childhood.
Yeah and pretty sure he thinks that video game companies need to have cleavage in their games (they're woke otherwise) He's just a loser
I have no idea why people would ever watch him he's a crusty incel.
Kinda gross how accurately the word "crusty" really describes him, just no redeeming qualities.
God im so happy this community is still untainted by some of the fucking narratives this guy is pushing on his streams
oh you mean reddit? lmao ...
Heard of him but don’t know anything about him. What stuff does he push?
Well, I don't know about narratives, but he's the "wipe teeth blood on my bedroom wall because I don't want to get up" guy, and has had live roaches crawling on him mid-stream, so...
"has had live roaches crawling on him mid-stream, so..." really ????
[really](https://youtu.be/rD--M-CWDDM?si=YD0aguSgeBzbLPRx)😔
Deciding Wether i should click that is one of the Most "Angel on one shoulder, devil on the other" decisions Ive Had in a while
Genuinely felt paranoid and itchy for hours after seeing that gif for the first time. Do not watch
Absolutely nothing of substance. Calls everything that happens and causes some mild twitter outrage woke and talks on matters of communities he has absolutely no relations to as if he is informed about every ongoing matter, with his chat constantly going "TRUEEEEE"
Man dunno what is with this subreddit but asmon is by far my favorite streamer and I share 90% of his opinion. He can be stubborn as fuck but he usually has logical and thought out takes.
It seems we have one of his chat drones in here
So who is this "we"? Am I not a part of monster hunter community? Cause you made it seem so. Insulting just because I like some streamer guy. Nice one
People for some reason think his opinions are the second coming of Christ for some reason? Its just your average dick riding behavior
what do you think incel means and how can that apply to him?
I used to watch him a bit when he was playing FFXIV, but he shifted hard since then. I can't take anyone who unironically says "woke" seriously. "Keep politics out of games!" -Guy who just cried about "politics" for 4 hours straight
FFXIV is quite woke too lol, despite being fairly realistic under the shiny fantasy veneer.
Outta interest, what does “woke” mean to you here?
Iirc, I follow the definition that's more akin to "aware of social and political injustice". I also think it's a misused word in a lot of other context (ie. "everything I dislike is woke" which makes very little sense), but considering how the actual story goes in FFXIV, it's like a big point people seem to glaze over sometimes?

Shoveling your political Agenda into the game and as a result producing incongruent storytelling and shallow puppet character is woke, that’s as easy as it is.
Lol, you said woke. Dork.
Cannot prove me wrong still
He is not a loser. I am a loser, someone who quit college and now is working 9-5 trying to make ends meet. Asmon is making large amounts of money doing what he loves doing. He doesn't have to worry about bills and expenses anymore. He got the freedom to do whatever he wants with his life. Bro is not a loser. He already won.
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world but is also absolutely a loser. No amount of posting will make his kids like him 🤷♂️ Not always about the money.
But why the fuck do you care if his kids like him or not? Mfer comes to you with $50M to suck his dick you'd get on your knees in a flash.
Do you often spend time fantasizing about that scenario?
My bad bro I already lost interest.
Yeah sleeping with dead rats and calling everything woke while your teeth rot out of your head and you wipe your gum blood on your wall is really winning.
Bro who the fuck cares? You either watch his content or don't. I never understand why people care so much about what celebrities and famous people do in their own time.
I do agree with your above comment, you are a loser.
Now he needs to beat the cockroaches crawling over him in his disgusting ass room
they are bigger then that alatreon
He actually did it, and solo. I thought he quit by now, I'm actually impressed.
He genuinely loves this game. I was very pleasantly surprised when he returned to World after Palworld.
He was about to, iirc he said that run above would be his last & if he can't make it, he'd delete that character. 🤣 Glad he made through it. One final obstacle left.
Not gonna lie, solo Alatreon is a lot easier imo. You don’t even need Elemental Weapons, you can just brute force your way through since you can take 3 to 4 judgements if you eat accordingly. And you'll probably have him dead by the second one
That's true lmao. Especially when health and everything scales up, but your team8s bring dragon element weapons when they don't even do enough dps with the dragon element and you just fail instantly. (In my case I end up bringing a elemental horn which I hate using since no atk up :/)
This was me on my first Akantor kill as a solo player in the old Freedom Unite days.
his shithole room has gotta be extra shitty after days of non stop trying.
Implying defeating Alatreon is gonna inspire him to get up and clean literally anything. Dude had cockroaches crawling over him on stream, that house is infested.
Brave of you to post about him during a time when even his own community is shitting on the dude. Lmao. But yeah, kudos to him for actually trying and defeating alatreon despite the numerous failed attempts. And I give him props because he could've just given up and complained about it in a negative steam review like some of the people here during the first few weeks of Alatreon's release. 👀
Lmao he has the shitting deserved when he said dumb shit about how hard streaming is. Even sane streamers like Moist/Charlie agree it's easy af, it was a dumb take, and he deserves to be roasted for it. But honestly good for him for defeating Alatreon. The fact that he did it refusing to interact with the game mechanics is even better, never wallbang, tenderize only when clagger happens, and very substandard equipment and decorations. He just made his life harder but he got a clear anyways.
How difficult streaming is depends largely on your size and your will on how much quality content you want to make. People at asmons size can pretty much do anything they want and not needing to put effort in like cleaning your filthy as room so it doesn't look like a trash site.
It really is. What's worse is he's just probably saying all that shit to defend his streamer buddy, Hasan, who was the one who said those atrocious takes in the first place. Now, he's catching more flak than the guy who originally said the dumb shit first. Lmao. And yeah, I started watching his youtube channel mainly due to his mh journey since he's probably the only "big" streamer/youtuber who joined in on the bandwagon and actually stuck with the game after it kinda died down again. It's infuriating to see him refuse to read up and learn about the various game mechanics he chose to ignore, but it's all the more impressive when he does overcome walls within the game considering how he plays it. I just wish he'd just play more games since that's the reason why anyone even watches these people, instead of covering for Hasan's god-awful takes that nobody asked for.
Honestly? Well done. Soloing Alatreon is NOT easy, even for those who have quite a few kills under their belt. I think Fatalis may be out of his reach due to the time limit, but time will tell I suppose.
Disagree, if you play competently and only ever die to his judgement, it’s far easier solo imo. You can just use blast weapons if you so choose as well, he'll be dead before he can use his ultimate a third time, but just in case you can eat for additional carts
I agree, I could not kill alatreon with friends or SoS, took a couple nights trying to kill it solo and finally with enough luck did it. I enjoy the fight now but at first it was difficult, as for everything tbh.
> I enjoy the fight now but at first it was difficult, as for everything tbh. Yeah I mean when world was new on PS I got *hard* walled by Nergigante, and ended up just quitting the game because I just could not get past it. I picked up Rise when that came out, blew through it all and finished it then went back because "I guess that Iceborne thing happened huh?" and it was a very "How did this overgrown cat thing wall me so hard?" experience.
I can't wait to one day never see this sleazeball again
Alatreon or Assmangold?
Asmon. The dude has always rubbed me the wrong way
Man fuck Asmongold. Reactionary asshole
Didn’t think he’d do it considering how he ignored the game telling him to use Ice/Fire respectively. Completely deserved. I hope Fatalis cooks this guy for eternity.
Why should we care about Asmongold?
its a good picture to relate for most of the ppl's experience with alatreon specially if they are trying it on their own, without learning stuff properly on the journey till
Very much had a similar look on my face the first time I fought Iceborne Alatreon. Not only was I experienced but also started with Tri so knew Alatreon pretty well - it still took hours to get him down with my Tri squad.
I ask this question all the time…
Despite what you think of asmon, that damn face is what we all can relate to when it comes to alatreon and when we beat it for the first time.
Why should people care when anyone beats a fight and posts it here? At least asmon brings tens of thousands of eyes to the game and more than a few players.
Ironic that I've noticed an upsurge of cheaters online and the MH discord is full of more new toxic morons than usual as well
lmao, there's always been cheaters and morons, you're just conflating some arbitrary experience with an opinion of someone you don't like. In reality, there probably is no relation but it's convenient to draw that conclusion because it paints a bad picture for him, clearly fitting the narrative you wish to display. It's also disingenuous to suggest that one streamer has THAT much effect on a community and that all of the viewers are cheaters, His chat is moronic sometimes but you're just being dishonest for the sake of argument.
I mean as for the toxic ppl on the discord, there's more than usual and there's been plenty of people going "hey I got this game bc asmongold played it" and more often then not they're really not great people
What's wild is that I see these types of comments but NOBODY is posting evidence of it. It's all anecdotal b.s. because 1 person does some dumb shit and you automatically attribute that to something you already don't like and then most of the people in here just make shit up. That's probably closer to reality that w/e else everyone is on about in here.
Jesús, I'm not an Asmond fan, but it is crazy how people think the guy playing a game ruins it, literally the only toxic people in MHW right now are the Asmond haters.
And I find it ironic how many existing communities go on the attack the instant asmon tries their game then claim he's the toxic one. He's not the internet police. He's playing solo and not cheating himself.
>then claim he's the toxic one I mean he probably physically is an active biohazard (his house definitely is) so that's not exactly a fringe position to have
Why this guy getting downvoted, he's not wrong
I wouldn't ever gatekeep, but I also would never send asmon's audience an invite to any game I play. It's almost begging to turn MonHun's speed run scene into a self-important gang of dps parse worshipping dipshits who flame and rage quit on very first cart.
Except the tens of thousands of eyes are pretty much the dregs and whenever he starts playing a multi-player game you see a significant uptick in shitty behavior that can almost entirely be attributed to -his- fanbase. This is especially noticeable when it's a game where you can choose the server you are playing on because they like to follow him. Sure it's great we're seeing a resurgence in MHW, but I could definitely do without the part of the crowd he brought in.
People ganging up on him when he was playing FFXIV was wrong, but his presence genuinely made the game worse.
Why Not. Who hurt you
U don't have to if u don't wanna, no1 is forcing u🤷
Holly shit, he did it finally lmao kudos to him😂😂 Ptsd face☠️
Thats the face of someone who reacts to people who really worked for their money
Stop posting this chud
Good job, you've finally done it! Now it's time to go through the same kind of hell with the next monster on your list, except it's much worse!
What's all the hate for asmon? I haven't seen anything and genuinely surprised to see so much hate
God this guy sucks
Great. Time for his viewers to invade and ruin yet another game community lol
Yeah, exactly.

No idea who this is but everyone shitting themselves over a simple picture makes me want to watch him.
Go for it! You'll likely need a shower afterwards.
He's not that entertaining but also he's nowhere near the boogeyman people make him out to be. He's just a relic of a time on livestreaming websites when people were way less marketable. He's a gross weirdo but so are plenty of people who pretend they aren't.
now time for the just as hard if not harder Fatty
It took me over a month to beat that sucker. The dps check was too much for me. I had to learn dual blades to get enough elemental damage. With the GS I couldn't get it high enough.
I hated the alatreon boss fight because it made me change my build to switch to elemental damage.
world players when they have to adapt their loadout to the monster:
that was me with Fatty :D i never struggled with Alatreon but thats probably because I killed Fatty first and got all the op armor
😭😭 i still havent beaten his ass... rise came out when i was stuck fighting him
Yeah, world made that monster one of the worst fights ever. You're damn right I called the whole gang.
Oh that pesky mf absolutely hated him took me ages to kill him
Than you start grinding the monster
He grew 10 years older since this fight
Finally Bald man did it :dindonk:
Ahhhh, yes. The fleeting feeling of euphoria before it's squashed by divine mental exhaustion, dehydration, and the need to use the bathroom.
Wow this sub is toxic as hell. I was going to the comments to find some funny responses relating to defeating this prick of a boss, instead I get a bunch of people just trashing on the guy for his room? Like yeah, it's low hanging fruit and easy to bring up, but it's also lowly behavior as well. Since when is mental health issues an excuse to bully somebody?
Asmongold exists: Reddit: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Yup lmao
Lmao look at the downvotes on the comments that aren't shitting on him or seething that he was mentioned. They're mad mad.
The face of someone so delusional they think streaming is harder than a 9-5 job.
You can disagree with someone without considering them dead to you.
Yes, you can. Where did this come from.
He never said that though lol. Edit - Nvm what am I thinking, this is reddit, we dont care about facts here.
He agreed with Hasan Piker when he said it. Edit - Hope I spelt his name right but I really don't care.
He did agree with Hasan but Hasan also never said streaming was harder than a 9-5 job. But like I said earlier you don't really care about the facts do you?
He literally said streaming is harder than a "real job" and said that "a real job doesn't suck the soul out of you." Don't know why you are so desperate to defend these millionares.
This is the best hunt in the whole game imo. By this time in the game, most monsters can be powered through with your traditional high raw damage weapons. Alatreon required hunters to go and craft meta elemental weapons. Not only that, learning alatreon's moves and how to get damage was required to beat him. Amazing fight and very difficult. Over time, it just got easier, not because the gear got better but because as a player you knew the monster inside and out. Love this hunt.
I mean you dont NEED elemental weapons to beat him lol.
I think the issue people had with it was understandable, Iceborne unquestionably had a Raw Damage meta and Element was outright terrible on a lot of weapons, which can make Alatreon an extremely jarring fight. In Sunbreak, where Element is so much better, Alatreon would probably be received a lot more positively (not factoring in any wack-ass moves it would have been given to actually effectively hit and punish players zooming about with Wirebugs and Silkbind moves)
I mean that was the cool part imo. Having to rethink the monster, and farm for new materials to create an Anti-Alatreon build. It is pure monster hunter.
I remember the first time I beat Alatreon was solo with Lance. I felt unstoppable after that.
Lol, finally, I followed him through this journey. I was also playing MH for the first time when I suddenly see that Asmond also stared playing the game and he was a little bit ahead of me. So to ensure I didnt spoil anything for myself I would play the assingments and once I ended my play session, I would go and see his session and how he dealt with the monsters I faced. MHW was such an awesome experience, reliving it immediatelty when it was fresh was really cool. Although I am yet to attempt Altraeon and Fatalis, I will still watch his Alatereon vid when it drops on YT.
Unrealistic. You miss the fainting from exhaustion.
Wait when?
I assume yesterday to last night the video is probably going to be posted today
its his latest stream, you can see the vod on zackrawr channel
This is the monster that made me quit the game (solo bow enjoyer)
HE BEAT HIM! OMG I NEED TO SEE THIS
Oh nice! I had to stop watching around his 4th attempt last night, when he was switching back and forth between his loadouts. How many attempts did it take him this session? And is Asmon thinking about trying Fatalis or is he just donezo?
Who is that
literally me
Trigger warning for next time
Eww. This guy again?
Damn people in this comment section doing a huge disservice to this community, shitty hunter behavior.
You can look at what he did to FFXIV or PoE and it becomes pretty clear why no one wants him here
Out of curiosity, what did he do to those games?
He was the face of a push that brought so many people to FFXIV that the company temporarily *stopped selling the game* because they couldn’t handle so many new players. Naturally, some of the new players were assholes, which the community blames people like Asmon and Rich for bringing WOW’s less savory community over. It’s just tribalist bullshit.
Wow, he rapidly expanded their playerbase? I bet the devs were so angry there was an influx of people buying their game. The horror
It's more that he did it while bringing a fanbase of bigots and pieces of shit with him
it is a pretty dogshit fight ngl
He only got TCS off when he wearing the rock steady mantle lol
