>>45415825I totally agree about the clutch claw, that mechanic is pretty annoying, especially since bonks do a shit ton of damage and too often you have to soften a body part to do decent damage to a monster.
"Final phases" for me are ok, I don't really mind them, but what really irks me is how breaking the head of Alatreon or Fatalis is basically mandatory, or else you just die.
"Didn't break Alatreon's horns? Well too bad now it's in ice mode and your fire weapon doesn't do shit, and you can't even farcaster to the camp to change gear. Too bad!
Fatalis especially, it can be stupidly hard with some weapons since you can barely reach its horns but you can cheese it with the right switch axe setup, and it becomes a total b*tch.
