G Rank Amatsu Vs. Adept Hammer - アマツマガツチ ハンマー ソロ【MHXX】

A viewer who liked my MHGU content once asked me if I would do videos on the final bosses of the game, to which I answered that I would not because they have a significant amount of HP due to being multiplayer monsters, and can take up to 10 minutes or more to slay, and I dislike posting runs that are that long.

This was the main reason, but another is that I despise these fights solo. Akantor and Ukanlos both are monsters who waste insane amount of time digging and emerging all around the map. Nakarkos also wastes a lot of time and has the highest HP pool of the lot.

The Fatalis trio have terrible hitzones and are boring. Alatreon, while it has the lowest HP pool is an unenjoyable fight for me personally in games prior to Iceborne.

And finally, there's Amatsu and Athal-Ka. I exclusively did a video on Athal-Ka because she's among my top 3 monsters in the series.

Amatsu has a decent amount of moves that can waste time if you're unlucky but it is far from being as worse as Akantor and Ukanlos.

I've never watched any runs of Amatsu with the weapon so this is pure freestyle. Just me with what I know of the matchup, my experience with it goes back to MHP3rd where Amatsu was probably the monster i hunted the most with Hammer.

While I did get hit a few times and had unlucky RNG on Amatsu's part, this was still by far my fastest run out of about ~10 tries.

I also missed a few golf swings because of poor placement ; Amatsu's head hitbox is quite small and it is easy to hit its neck, hitting the above part of its head, its horns, is much easier.

Amatsu's a really interesting monster that I always loved because of how smart its design is. Amatsu is basically an underwater fight, except instead of being underwater Amatsu simply floats in the air. If you look closely at Amatsu, you can see it has the same underwater animations as a lot of Leviathan species monsters such as Lagiacrus and Royal Ludroth.

I also love those unique noises across its moveset, when it roars or simply moves. They're like bell sounds, or some kind of other instrument that I don't know of, it's difficult to describe.

The only thing I dislike about it is the weird, extremely delayed hitboxes on some of its attacks, like the tail scrap and the spin charges.
