Fastest way to farm the names lavasioth?

[LisaIsBraces]

Over 150 successful hunts and I still don't have a release or handicraft deco. I did get 3 attack decos from him so I guess thats where all my luck went. Right now most runs are 6-8 minutes with randoms online. I use the styx lbg with water ammo, in solo hunts I get around the same time. Normally when I want to do hunts fast I use the glutton but that doesnt work well for lavasioth.

I do pretty much what you do, except with Kjarr Blitz Decay, which has on-board crit elem, and Xeno 3 piece w/release gear and appropriate decos including 3x stream and 1x trueshot for 2x special ammo up total with Xeno gloves gamma.

I rush to his pools and drop wyvernblasts on top of where he lands when he emerges and immediately poison him once, then start shooting him in the face. When he submerges the first time I paralyze him when he comes back out, drop more wyvernblasts and bombs and continue as normal.

Third emerge I poison him a second time and continue leaving wyvernblasts around when I can since he loves running into them. Then it's just a matter of getting as many water shots on him as possible before he flees, by which time he's in the neighborhood of 20%.

On really good runs I can get just a hair under 5 minutes and skull status before he flees his pools, but I average about 5:15-5:30 normally, as I do like to grab the decos he drops for a chance at worn/warped.

Could probably bring bomb mats and a pitfall but I'm pretty lazy, and I doubt I'd get all that much time cut off.

Don't feel bad, I've also yet to see a Release gem in a combined ~500 hours of MHW on two systems, and it's the one I need most right now.

solo i have a HBG set that is basically a clust gun set. you get him in the first room, he lands in the same spot every time, rock steady mantle and healing smoker that spot. from there its jsut repeatedly dump cluster into em and cap him as soon as he is ready. the time this takes and the potential rewards from quest make this the fastest method for trying to get any good decos that require the worn and warped type feystones.

in a group its slower, but it profits 4 people simultaneously. sadly the clust setup is only good here if everyone is doing it.

the cap isnt 100% necessary but it does cut 20% of the shot you need to use out.

if you cant build the meta clust set for this, i recommend bringing status shots your gun supports, sticky and fire shot if you have it available. the fire shot you only shoot a couple to heat him up then use something else that is more damaging. this is of course, if you run out of cluster because your build doesnt output the damage a meta set would do.

after the odds comparison they describe the build i use. i dont have all the decos for it but it still works well enough.

3 minutes? What's your strat?

[!?!]

So do you like this piece of crap yet?
You like waiting while he splashes around and waiting until your non-explosive weapon can do damage again and running after him because he never stops moving yet?
You like how he instantly runs to the next zone at max speed with pretty much no way of flashing him out of it yet?
He gives you lots of decos now, you like him yet?

Lavasioth farming is quality over quantity. You want to kill it as fast as possible so traps + cluster + sleep bombing can typically finish in around 3 minutes.

water bow is faster, if done right
it is all about keep him flinching the whole time and doesn't cost so much as using bombs etc.

it is a kill in 2:41, so it is even faster if you cap

There is a faster way to farm for the deco you want. This method is called worshipping. You need to worship the RNG god and pray that he will give you what you need.

In all seriousness, you can try raining clusters with HBG to put him down quickly. As for trying to get release or handicraft jewel, you just need to keep playing and pray that RNG is in your favour. I myself had about 550+ hours of playtime and up til now, I still did not get the deco I want namely ironwall. Not even one. This includes me doing greatest jagras and name is lavasioth hundreds of times.

i mean, is it really our fault for some monsters in solo its broken as hell?

thankfully clust wont be as good in iceborne. its not a total nerf but there will be better options available.
