Nothing like a reminder of just how hard Iceborne Alatreon is if you're underprepared.

Don’t know if y’all remember the fight at all but breaking horns doesn’t weaken escaton judgment, it only prevents him from switching to ice. For escaton just beat the living crap out of his forearms until you get the elemental topple while he’s in fire mode (he’s glowing red) and you can only break horns while on dragon (he’s glowing purple)

lol this was so painful to watch, gave me ptsd back to before I learned the fight mechanics. some tips, if you actually want to hunt Alatreon consistently, as he went from my most frustrating to loved hunt :) 1 - tenderise a single foreleg for melee players and wing if anyone is ranged - only 1 limb though, as tenderising Alatreon applies to both sides of his body (yay?) 2 - max dps before he transitions to dragon mode, then tenderise head and break horn - no part damage applies to head outside of dragon mode - if you don't have an elemental topple, where handler pops up saying 'you're doing a good job containing alatreon's power and then he falls over, BEFORE escaton (the big super-attack) you will die - abandon quest and try again lol 3 - build-wise, goddamn run blight resist 3 or at least be 20+ resistant to dragon element, as dragonblight entirely negates your elemental damage and this is the ONLY elemental dps check in the entire game ahaha misc tips - flash doesn't work when he's enraged, clutch claw to him for some flying attacks to avoid ground AOE, kulve's kjarr weapons can trivialise the dps check but tbh frostfang barioth is all you need if you actually follow the above tips (I did it solo, with a frostfang HUNTING HORN, so anyone can fkn do it lol) this isn't a brute-force fight. it has very specific, very learnable mechanics, which, when followed, can be quite satisfying to pull off. hope that helps, if you read my novel, that is lol.

If you're doing it alone, you MAYBE could do it without elemental damage, if you're willing to accept you're gonna inevitable cart a time or two (or switch weapon if you mess up breaking the horns/doing enough damage, i guess?)

Alatreon is the funnest to hunt, easy concept too, just bring the opposite element and do damage. Make sure to stagger him and break his horn when he turns dragon. His pace of fighting is nicely balanced. Good fight in my opinion

My favorite hunt in world by a mile, I think I have like 160 or something so far. The #1 thing I can see in the SOS flares I join - people aren’t attacking / tenderizing the front legs. His front legs have the highest elemental multiplier. If you can focus his front legs as much as humanly possible you can get elemental check in 1-2 minutes every time. Don’t worry about hitting the head until he is in dragon phase, can’t break horn until then anyways (you can also ele check him more than once, makes the nova easier to heal through every time)

It really takes like 2000 damage to break his horn in solo which is not a lot at all.

This vid is funny AF as someone who fights this monster to help friends get its gear.

Gotta say, y'all weren't just reaady for Alatreon. The perfect way to kill Ala, is being Ala yourself (full escadora build) then use FF Barioth weapons if you havent got that soul reaper scythe of a Longsword, focus on the back legs, only aim for horns when elememts change and brace for Escaton using health boosters and astera jerky. Basically that's all there is to it. Easier said tha done however.

Finally return to world video, i solo it like 43 times and 2 times so close to kill it

welcome to the bonk clan my brother we welcome you with open arms also I should’ve known your channel before your funny as shit lol good vid bro

I love when you are happy to do damage but it shows you still got dragon blight lmao

Well I hope y’all give it another shot. Just to refresh your memory, ice and fire hurt it- breaking its horns keeps him from switching elements. Other than that, good luck.

It depends. If everyone knows what they’re doing and have the proper build, co-op is very easy. Solo is easier to brute force, which is why it might feel easier. Even if you don’t pass the elemental DPS check one or two times, you’ll still live. Hell, you can just run a blast weapon and kill him like that 🤷‍♂️

As far as I know, breaking his head doesn't nerf his ult. That's only preventing his 3rd element (usually Ice but it depends on what quest you played). What you should do to nerf his ult is to give him enough elemental damage until he toppled. You'll be able to survive his ult at 1st topple, and you'll be comfortable at 2nd topple. How I play usually is: Elemental Topple > Break horn > Elemental Topple > Ult > Break horn > Slay

Pro tip: Don't abondon a quest but choose the return from quest option, you will keep the part break rewards.

@jacobmarshall2489

I’ve beaten it solo probably eleven times. In my experience, I’ve found that knocking it out of the sky with the clutch claw shot is significantly easier and more advantageous than trying to knock it into a wall. If you wait for the double slam while he’s in the air or the aerial dragon explosion while it’s in dragon mode (while unenraged of course), grab onto the face during the roar afterwards and immediately shoot. It works about nine times out of ten, and gets Alatreon back on the ground for more damage sooner. You also don’t have to worry about knocking it out of para, sleep, or stun that way either. Speaking of which, those thorn pods it drops sometimes are insanely good at stunning him.

@jacobmarshall2489

(Since you seemed to like this, and YT won’t let me edit this, I’ll leave a couple extra tips I forgot to mention) Firstly, I’d advise slotting in all three levels of blight resistance for the dragonblight immunity alone, but also for the lack of need to eat null berries, and in your case, so you can then swap out the cleanser booster with either the affinity booster or a mantle of choice. Secondly, although it is important to break the head, it’s actually not the weakest part elementally on Alatreon. His forearms actually take notably more damage, which should make hitting the elemental dips check easier. I’d advise to focus more on the arms until the check is hit, then focus the head especially while Alatreon is in dragon mode, since the horns can only be broken then. Thirdly, a great time to tenderize is when it performs the attack where it leaps into the air and spits down ice. If I recall correctly, even when on the head, you won’t be knocked off. Finally, if you choose to use the airshot method I mentioned previously, I’d wait to mount Alatreon until later into the fight, when its more enraged frequently, as a way to get it out of the air even when the clutch claw and flash pods won’t work one more time. I hope this helps if you choose to fight it again, and thank you for all the cool content you’ve made.

Watching this video has been so painful and frustrating to sit through without autistically screaming, use ice weapons and use a nulberry for dragonblight or for hecks sake just gem in resistance Oh my gaaaaaawd! X3
