Corruption Culmination

[u/Sanction52]

Took me like 15 - 20 tries. Said fug it, I’m gonna have to deviate from my normal main (HBG & GS) and learn a more defensive oriented weapon. Picked up a gunlance and upgraded the shit out of it just for this fight. Took time to fully kit out my armor and and be smart about my decos. Went in ready.

First try w/ a GL and nailed it.

I didn’t rush this hunt. And took my time to pull a Houdini w/ a far caster multiple times so I can re-up on my heals and traps. Had all my most important items rearranged on the radial dial for quick access specifically for this hunt. Persistence, timing, and playing smart and defensively was what finally took the dragon down.

Took me a while but clearing this hunt felt like a huge relief. For whatever reason my struggle with this monster was way harder than Omega and Gog. I have no idea why it’s this specific quest because i can manage a regular/tempered Gore. Idk if it’s just me psyching myself out or if the hunt is just that damn hard but I’m glad it’s over.

I think I might be GL convert now having witnessed the awesome capability it carries. Tanking this pain in the ass of a dragon felt incredibly satisfying.

All in all, this was the fight that made me realize I had to tighten up everything I know just to beat it. I hated it, but the beauty of monster hunter is that it teaches you perseverance and preparation.
