The accounts of the fight are straight forward but they must have changed the encounter a bit. Never in my 50 plus times of this fight (since i earned the mount and got stuck in this fight many times after due to mentor roulettes) did I see all the smaller adds along with the buffalo. I also know that the buffalo cleaves and never saw a DPS yet that could take that cleave. Any physical attack or fire attack puts a dot on you which usually takes a good 1/4 to 1/3 of your hp's and there are no "cure" properties to your healing potions. So if you bypassing the whole need for a tank and healer there must have been a change to things. The higher i level or the fight itself. Perhaps it was the adding of the unsynced option but clearly the fight now as you show it is not like how it used to be when I did it.
Man that’s a good looking Hrothgar.
I’m gonna be “that guy”. I got the mount as a drop in my first 4 clears.
great guide
I rolled 2
Huh??? This is still in the game??? I thought it was a limited time event??
Watching this while playing a ton of Rise lately and watching content for that… this feels more like a Monster Hunter guide than I expected, ironically.
The hitbox on the cow thing is a cylinder, so you don't really have to worry about the way it's facing, it can just look scarier like in this video.
5-10 minutes per hunt eh?
They certainly got the time frame right for Rathalos hunts, I'll give square that.
just drink mega demon drug
I watched this for the kitty pic
Me and some friends farmed Rathalos a couple months ago and decided to make it our mission to get sub 2 minutes. Think our best time ended up being 1:56. It took quite a few runs to get haha
Very nice find. Thanks for sharing it .But extremes (synced) normally need 99 kills to buy a mount and can range from 9 to 12 minutes with a good team. Imagine Shinryu, Sephirot, and Niddhog extremes synced. True difficulty. Personally, I believe they should kept The Great Hunt sync mandatory as many players now don't get the full experience of that grind. For a long while it was synced. 4.3 is when it was changed I believe.
This is very helpful information. I haven't even consider trying for it because I normally don't do extremes. But this sync strat I feel like even I can pull off with a few good friends.
I actually got the mount on my 43rd clear last year….
I remember when 3 tanks was the easiest way to do it back when it was in that expansion.
21 more runs for my one
Got mine months ago..it was a grind lol
Thanks for the guide 🙂 When I saw I needed 50 scales I was like "yeaaaah forget it… got other stuff to do…" , but now… this actually looks doable…
not a bad video but your a bit late m8 cuz the farming parties i'v been in have said the same thing you just did/show
Man, gear really carries, huh xD
I got all my stuff from him when the fight was new and even back then we quickly figured out that directly destroying the tail is not a good idea and to focus on Rathalos first to get in more dmg before the tail destruction, but him going back up once was unavoidable, just due to the maximum dmg at lvl 70.
1:59 wait…..
YOU CAN FUCKING MOUNT THE RATHALOS??? WHY HAVENT I SEEN THIS BEFORE?
Gotta say, thing I figured on release that helped me, that first faze "If he looks at you, just run away" might not be the best advice, I just opt for the "Stand on his left foot", if he does a small steppy step, that's the only time you have to move from there, just move out before his jump and you're good. This just makes it less messy to chase and stuff because he spends more time turning to you and he doesn't charge far when he does. Might not work so well on casters when they're needing to cast
Your gonna hate me then, I got the mount on my first run via chest drop 😂😂😂😂
But I have shared your video so please don’t hate me too much 😊
What's a fast "enough" GCD for this purpose?
How can I find a cool group of friends to play with? I’m still in heavensward but want friends to play with and perhaps guide me a bit
Meanwhile I joined a party with a guy who never did it,( I was about 30 runs in at that point) . The mount dropped and he rolled 99. 🙃🤔
I found MCH to be really good for this boss too
5:59 I felt this and I agree.
How to farm old content fast: do it unsync. And here i thought this was gonna be some neat trivia about fight specific mechanics…
Fine subbed, only cause you asked nicely >.>
Me and 3 friends decided to farm the 50 runs and 4 whistles dropped within 35 runs. No I'm not joking and no I still can't believe it either.
I think all four of us combined ran out of a lifetime worth of luck there lmao
I have helped 3 sets of players get their mount. 150 runs. Only seen Rath in chest 2x. Let that sink in. Thx for guide
So there's no point to this video just dps ? What were you thinking ?
I queue up as a healer for this and i can't match up. What the freaking freak?
If i only had 3 more people willing to farm the mount and the augmented armor set with me… 😞
They dropped the number of scales used to be 99
The very run that I said the whistle is like a .001% drop to a new person joining the PF is the very run it dropped. Needless to say, I passed due to shame and the newbie got it on their first run.
On that note, this grind really isn't that bad. You don't have to get every scale in a day, and you get an average of 15 scales an hour.
Me with item lvl 90 watching this
Ending to the video is legit.
I started playing it recently and I just saw one of those. I'm a monster hunter fan so I was super excited when I saw him 🤣
What about a grp of BLU?
i feel like ppl in the comment section or ff14 players in general dont know what a "real" grinding is… being worried about 50 kills… thats nothing. i see that a lot in ff14, ppl say something is the biggest grind and its just not, at least not to my "standards" from other mmos. in other mmos, im used to grind things 500 times or even 1000 times with no rewards and no "totems" or "scales" to get it eventually. now, playing ff14, grinding in this game is like a walk in the park for me, its amazing.
btw, dont take offense to it, this is just my experience and its actually a good thing, that ppl think things like rathalos is grindy, its good to have a game that doesnt force you to spend hundreds of hours to get something.
We got behemut in World, the better boss, you guys got saddled by the bitch boi rathalos. I can kill him with one swing of my hammer to the head 👍👍👍
You don't need to mount Rathalos btw… Just hit the mammoth so hard that he hits the floor by the time Rathalos flies off.
what chest?
Nice! I get to bring my futon with me
