amatsu too hard?

[BelloB04]

so after some months i came back to mhr after i did alot in mhw, and now amatsu is in my way, and its a pure failure, alot teammates are dying, im dying by myself aswell and i cant see any light tbh, any advices? im using the velkhana armor and gaismagorm dual blades

You want more element on Dual Blades than what Gaisma DB have, Amatsu doesn't have the highest raw hitzones so you could craft the Magma Almudron DB to get more element if you don't have Valfalk DB.

You can ez solo him as gunlance with the defense skills + super healing dango level 4. And farcaster during his ultimate if you don't think you can avoid it.

insect glaive first try just gotta stay above him

Sounds to me like you just need to solo Amatsu so you can get better. Also maybe double check your gear is fully upgraded. Personally I didn't find any part of the fight difficult, but also I use the lance against them.

[DaBa]

Definitely not too hard. Not even that difficult, a lot of people seem to have first tried it even. If it was actually difficult, you'd be seeing threads like yours everywhere, like we had with Alatreon or Fatalis. Actually we still DO see those from time to time.

So you know what they say, git good and all that! Time to hunker down and put in some effort.

Try changing your dual blades to either Valstrax or Magma Almudron.

Id say get the rust off and then fight him again.
Ngl, its really bad when you just go in and fight him off the bat when you're rusty

[Ragdoll]

I personally found it too easy, only took around 25~ mins first try. Just depends on skill levels and how often people play the game

Fight Amatsu alone and don't enable join-request. Take those farcaster with you and use them when he's about to make his ultimate attack.
This whole fight is about learning the monster and it's attack pattern.

Did you remember to upgrade your armor?

[Todokoro]

if you've made it all the way to Amatsu and you want to give up now out of all the times you faced a brick wall, then you obviously failed to learn what Capcom & Monster hunter has been drilling into people's minds since the dawn of MH on the PS2. Some fights are going to feel like a brick wall. this one is no different. If you're doing it for the first time, and have yet to clear it, then I recommend you either go to the Monster Hunter Hunting Hall Discord and find yourself a group of geared hunters to carry you, or you get a group of friends together who are competent in analyzing attack patterns and are willing to suffer through the pain to help themselves (and you) finish the fight. The Fight is possible to do alone, but I don't recommend going that route if its your first time (it can take a while).

I did this fight when it first came out with friends. took us several tries, but we were triumphant before the end of the night.

I know this isn't much to go off of, but if you look up guides and do some research (i.e. watch some videos) before going into the fight again. then you'll be better off.

Try hammer or bow walk in the parc.

Was kinda surprised how easy it was tbh. Feels like Ama's difficulty scaling in terms of damage output and attack frequency is like pre-Risen Elders. Spends a ton of time floating around growling at you after attacks to give you huge windows to deal damage, falls over plenty.

DB I think only issue is that getting to beyblade on it is bit inconsistent and you really gotta angle it well to get it. And sometimes it just floats too high to even land any hits.

Yep, afflicted and risen monsters are it's own difficulty curve, kinda like we had tempered and arch tempered stuff in World and then there were the normal monsters, two different difficulty curves that did not match. That's why Amatsu doesn't feel that hard, because people have already fought risen elders and when they get to fight a normal monster it almost feels like going down a whole difficulty rank.

I use mixed armors and tend to survive fights with Amatsu pretty easily. Lance Guard build did wonders, a bow kept me laughing, and once I got his armor and made a build with it DB's became hilariously OP.

He isn't too hard once you know how to handle his attacks, but that comes down completely to your weapon. If you want help, some of us here can likely help with him.
