Monster Hunter World Fatalis Guide Source: Windows Central

Update Dec 6, 2022: Removed the PSA regarding the limited availability for the Fatalis Effect Quest. Capcom has changed it and information technology is now available indefinitely until further notice, and so long as you take an internet connection.

On Oct 1 2022, Capcom brought back ane of the toughest beasts in Monster Hunter'southward storied bestiary for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne'due south concluding championship update, Fatalis. This blackness dragon has been apart of the serial since the original Monster Hunter, back on the PS2, and now information technology'south going to exist in full 4K 60 frames per 2nd glory on the Xbox Series 10. Information technology has shown up in various titles since and so as a post-game boss. Now information technology has returned, set up to terrorize a new generation of monster hunters.

Information technology is without a doubtfulness the hardest dominate fight in all of Monster Hunter: World. It puts previous dominate fights like Alatreon, Extreme Behemoth, and even the Aboriginal Leshen to shame.

Nearly all of its attacks have a massive range and can kill yous in one hitting, it's extremely fast and aggressive, with soft DPS checks, and you take a 30-minute time limit.

Information technology even goes as far as forcing the player to fight the 1st stage solo. A literal trial past fire to decide the player's skill level. To top it off, you have to fight a weakened version of Alatreon first in the Fatalis quest chain before fighting Fatalis proper.

This is a fight that demands gear optimization, a full understanding of dodge roll Invincibility-frames, learning when to attack and not being greedy, and taking full advantage of your mantles and the environment.

As someone who spent 1800 hours on this game, even I had trouble dealing with Fatalis. Hopefully, this guide will provide insight on how to slay this Smaug-wannabe yourself. This is mostly from a solo player's perspective but these tips will apply in multiplayer too.

Let's take a await at Fatalis' stats and vitals and so nosotros know what we're up against.

Fatalis stats:

Completely allowed to the KO status and beingness blinded with flashpods.
Heavily resistant confronting all other status effects, pregnant yous would merely exist able to proc them in one case during the hunt. Twice if y'all're really lucky.
When information technology comes to elemental resistances, Fatalis is strong against Water and Thunder, somewhat weak to Ice and Fire, and is very weak to Dragon.
His major weak spots are the head and chest, his legs and wings are mediocre weak spots. You lot should avoid the tail. Information technology is extremely tough and information technology can't be cutting.
His attacks consist of bites, charges, trunk slams, and setting the world ablaze. We'll add more than detail below.
Using Dragon Pod slinger ammo tin flinch Fatalis every two hits. Guaranteed. This tin be a lifesaver in multiplayer.
You have a 30-infinitesimal time limit and have 5 extra lives past default in the Special Assignment (which increases to seven if you eat for Felyne Safeguard and Insurance).

Now that we know what his skills are, it's time to make our builds. Here are some armor skills to go along in listen when making your build.

Recommended offensive armor skills

Monster Hutner World Slash Face Source: Windows Central

Attack upwards to boost your attack.
Critical Eye to increment your affinity which gives you a higher run a risk to go a Critical Striking.
Critical Boost to increase the harm Critical Hits exercise.
Maximum Might to increase your analogousness when your stamina gauge is full. (Which can be strengthened via Maximum Might Surreptitious fix bonus)
Crit Draw to increase your affinity when you do a unsheathe assault with your weapon.
Superlative Functioning which increases impairment when at max HP.
Agitator increases damage and critical striking chance when a monster gets Enraged. (Which tin be strengthened via Anarchist Clandestine set up bonus).
Artillery to increase the fixed impairment of Gunlance shells and Viscous Ammo for Bowguns. (Which can exist strengthened via Artillery Cloak-and-dagger fix bonus).
Clutch Hook Heave so yous tin can tenderize weak spots in 1 Clutch Assault with light weapons.
Heavy Artillery to increment the impairment of all the siege equipment (it also works for the Roaming Ballistae and Dragonator even though it doesn't say it).
Partbreaker to break body parts faster, the importance of which I will get subsequently.
Slinger Chapters to increase the corporeality of slinger ammo for blanch shots and for weapons that incorporate slinger ammo into their movesets. (Which can be strengthened via Slinger Capacity Hole-and-corner bonuses).
Dragon Set on to increase the damage of Dragon Elemental weapons since Fatalis is weak to Dragon Element.
Crit Element or True Crit Chemical element to increase the elemental harm of weapons whenever they practise a Critical Hit.
Spare Shot/True Spare Shot which has a random adventure to preserve a bullet when firing Bowgun ammo.
Frostcraft is a unique skill on Velkhana's armor. A meter is shown below your wellness bar. The larger it is, the more impairment your attacks do. The meter goes downwards with every strike. Best paired with Crit Describe. Exist warned, this armor set can lower your burn down resistance, which is critical in this fight.
Special Ammo Boost to increase the impairment of Bowgun special ammo and increase the harm of Bow's Thousand Dragons and Dragon Piercer attack.
Power Prolonger to increase the duration of powered upward states for Dual Blades, Switch Axes, Insect Glaive, Charge Blade and Longsword.

Spread, Pierce, and Normal Shot to increase the damage of each corresponding ammo blazon.
Gratuitous Chemical element/Ammo Upward to unlock a melee weapon's hidden element or increase ammo clip size for bowguns.

Recommended defensive armor skills

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Guide Armor Source: Windows Central

Health Boost to increase your max HP.
Divine Approval which has a random chance of reducing impairment when you get hit. (Which tin be strengthened via Divine Blessing Hugger-mugger bonuses).
Fire Resistance is essential in this fight to subtract fire damage for Fatalis' diverse flame breath attacks.
Earplugs and then you lot don't get stunned when Fatalis roars,
Evade Window to increase the number of invincibility frames when contrivance rolling. For those who don't know, invincibility frames are split-second frames of a dodge animation where y'all are invincible. So, with proper timing, y'all can potentially contrivance into enemy attacks instead of away, without getting injure to shut the distance. Though they are merely active at the start of the coil. Also, some enemy attacks tin can't be dodged because their attack hitbox blitheness lingers longer than your invincibility frames. Other attacks that tin can't be dodged include impairment over fourth dimension floor texture attacks similar lava pools, and some are MMO-way check attacks that tin can 1 shot the squad no matter what, unless line of sighted for case. For nigh of Fatalis' swipes and short-duration attacks, using invincibility frames is an choice.
Evade Extender to increase the distance of your contrivance curlicue.
Fortify which increases your attack and def stats past a percentage when you faint up to two times (which is a viable selection since you have many lives to work with, and fifty-fifty the best players will probably dice in this fight).
Tool Specialist to subtract the cooldown on your mantles.
Guard to increase the strength of your shield when blocking and Guard Up to block unblockable attacks. Be warned, though, Fatalis does and then much scrap damage when blocking. This can potentially blockstun you to death. So, I experience these two skills are well-nigh viable for Lance. Since they have counter moves which can bypass a lot blockstun.
Guardian Attack which increases your attack power if cake an set on at the final second. Over again, most feasible for Lance.

Don't forget to fully augment your weapons and armor at the blacksmith.

Fatalis can be taken downward with both melee and ranged weapons. Which weapon build y'all choose is up to you.

Build communication

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Attack Source: Windows Fundamental

They could be Crit Draw-Frostcraft Greatsword builds for hitting and run-style tactics. Slinger Capacity-Long Shelling Gunlance builds, which increase Wyvern Stake Boom duration. Even Tool Specialist Switch Axe builds, which reduce the cooldown on your mantles and so you lot can corruption the Switch Axe's Sword Manner attack, where you stab into a monster to practise an explosion whilst wearing the Rocksteady or Temporal mantles to prevent y'all from being knocked off. You tin look up online or on YouTube for more data on how some of these meta builds run.

The build I ran when I outset fought Fatalis was a Mucilaginous Ammo focused, Light Bowgun build. It was a mixed armor set of Nargacuga and Zorah Magdaros. It incorporated True Spare Shot, Artillery, Health Boost, Evade Window, Evade Extender, Meridian Functioning, Fire Resistance, Divine Approval, Partbreaker and Fortify. I also custom modded my gun with Evade Reload to reload while dodging, and Recoil reduction so I could motion and shoot.

This allowed me to shoot Fatalis without tenderizing him. This is because Glutinous Ammo does a fixed amount of damage, no matter what trunk office it's stuck onto. This build besides gave me a ton of incinvibility frames (I-frames) to my Evade Reload rolls.

Granted this build is possible thanks to the Safi'Jiva 'Aquashot' Light Bowgun (LBG). Safi'Jiva weapons can upgraded with a point towards an armor set bonus, so y'all don't demand all armor pieces to activate information technology. Even so, not everyone has access to these weapons due to the RNG nature of acquiring Safi'Jiva weapons and Safi'Jiva himself only shows up every ii weeks before switching to Kulve Taroth.

So, if I didn't accept admission to that. I would take made a mixed ready of Zorah Magdaros and Golden Rathian armor. I had admission to the Artillery Secret and Divine Blessing Hugger-mugger fix bonuses. As well, I would take used the 'Rajang Barrage' Lite Bowgun every bit an culling for Sticky Ammo LBGs.

If y'all don't have access to any online exclusive gear or don't know where to offset. I would recommend Raging Brachydios gear. His armor prepare is pretty well rounded with armor skills, ornament slots, natural fire resistance and his weapons are pretty potent in Raw impairment with Blastblight as a bonus. Argent Rathalos armor paired with dragon weapons is also a decent upkeep selection due to Silver's True Critical Element prepare bonus.

Now if you don't have the armor skill decorations to make the builds y'all want, you're going have to grind for them in Issue Quests or Tempered Monster investigations. Sometimes you need to grind for victory.

Tools and consumables

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Items Source: Windows Fundamental

Rocksteady Mantle to reduce damage and gain immunity to hitstun except hard knockdowns, and amnesty to roars.
Temporal Mantle to automatically dodge attacks, except minor flinches and damage over time attacks (duration decreases every time y'all go striking).
Ghillie Mantle to temporally escape the monster'due south sight to catch a interruption to heal and arm the siege weapons.
Fireproof Mantle to reduce fire damage.
Evasion Mantle which grants extra invincibility frames when dodging rolling and provides an attack boost when you successfully dodge an assault.
Glider Mantle to fit in extra armor skills. You as well gain the ability to glide and a college chance to mountain the monster with aerial attacks.

I recommend cycling between when you are at camp if they are on cooldown. Provided y'all have the time to do so.

As for items to bring with you into boxing, I would recommend the following, if you can fit them in:

Mega Potions, Max Potions, and Ancient Potions for healing.
Dash Juice to reduce Stamina usage.
Nulberries to cure Fireblight.
Mega Barrel bombs for extra damage.
Farcasters to fast travel dorsum to camp to resupply or to go out of a tight spot (except during the Scorched World attacks).

Crafting materials brand more Bowgun ammo/Bow Coatings in battle. You can as well bring crafting materials to make healing items.

Monster Hunter World Guide Items Source: Windows Primal

Be certain to assign your radial menus with item arts and crafts macros and particular loadouts at camp. They will make item management so much easier. If you are hard-pressed for items, you tin can farm them at the Botanical Garden and Steamworks.

Now for your Palico if you lot're playing solo or duos. Equip your Palico with the strongest armor and then he can have a couple of hits before fainting. For weapons, I would equip him with a condition effect weapon so they could proc later on on in the fight.

Some of the Palico Gadgets can exist a major help in the fight, depending on which one you utilise:

Meawlatov Cocktail allows the Palico do damage via bombs, catapults and behemothic firecrackers.
Vigorwasp Spray lets the Palico heal the actor in a jam and even revive them one time per hunt.
Coral Orchestra lets the Palico vitrify the role player with various status protections and stat boosts.
Shieldspire past far is the about useful in the Palico'south utility belt. It allows the Palico to draw the monster'south attention away from the actor. The gadget tin also summon the Shieldspire Stooge, a training dummy which tin can likewise attention away. This pairs really well with Gummy Ammo Bowgun and Long Shelling Gunlance builds.
Plunderblade can stealing materials from the monster to help y'all subcontract for his gear.

Finally, earlier going into boxing. Make sure yous eat at Canteen for:

Elemental Resistances.
Felyne Moxie which preserves you with 1HP from an assail that would've killed you in ane hitting.
Felyne Insurance to provide you lot with an extra life.
Felyne Safeguard to provide y'all with an extra life (it stacks with Felyne Insurance).
Felyne Bombardier to increase shelling and Sticky ammo damage.

You lot tin use Gourmet Vouchers to guarantee activating the food buffs. Grab these from the steamworks in Seliana.

Now that preparations are complete, allow's become to work.

The Hunt

Fatalis Phase 1

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Guide Phase Source: Windows Central

Every bit stated in the cutscenes, Castle Schrade has a ton of siege equipment to fight Fatalis. Siege weapons tin can crusade Fatalis to fall over and provide HUGE openings for harm. Provided you hit him in the chest with them.

In the starting time phase, we have admission to a platform with two cannons on it and a ballista side by side to it. And then, we demand to have advantage of these to get a head outset.

To showtime things off, I would recommend putting on the Ghillie Pall. With the Ghillie Curtain, Fatalis won't be able to see yous. During this stealth state, load the cannons at the dorsum of the arena. If you're doing the solo part of this quest, don't worry about the A-Lister NPC. His presence won't crusade Fatalis to discover you with the Ghillie Drapery on. Though his presence will make aiming the cannons trickier due to him cartoon Fatalis' ire.

Once you have finished loading and aiming the cannons, you may fire when fix. If he doesn't get down from the cannon fire, use the ballista on his chest to finish the job. Use this opening to arrive a proficient number of hits on his head. Once Fatalis gets support, the actual fight begins.

Fatalis has wide variety of moves and different ways of using his flame jiff:

Shooting regular fireballs from a distance.
A charge up fireball attack, which explodes so hard, it sends Fatalis flying into the heaven. Which he follows up by divebombing dorsum to the ground.
A flame breath that makes Fatalis' head recoil and sweep the expanse in flame arc, like an out of command firehose. The further you are away, the harder information technology is to avoid.
Fatalis gets down on his legs and wings to unleash a huge cone-shaped burn jiff. The camera zooms back to permit you know when information technology'due south near to happen, and it lasts likewise long to exist avoided with regular dodging, so run shut to him to avert information technology, or Superman Swoop if you're too far away. The broken pillars can protect you lot from this set on. This assault channels for a while, so if y'all can get alongside him, you tin can damage his head. Don't stay for too long though, Fatalis volition leave an explosive lava pool in one case he finishes.

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Cone Attack Source: Windows Central

Fatalis tin signal his head directly to the floor for a damage-over-time floor-based fire attack. Like to Kulve Taroth, this cannot be avoided with regular i-frames, but you can apply the Superman Dive (details below).
He can establish lava pools which explode after a few seconds.
Bite attacks that sometimes he combos into.
Devastating, area sweeping tail attacks if you stay backside Fatalis for also long.
He can slap yous or body slam you if y'all stay too long to his chest.
A charging bite attack where he uses his wings to crawl around. Similar to Tigrex.

A lot of his shorter attacks can exist I-framed with plenty points in Evade Window and proper timing. The Superman Dive is also an selection in instance you get cornered. For those who don't know — when you sprint directly away with your back turned to the monster with your weapon sheathed, press the contrivance push button to exercise a massive swoop. You lot are completely invincible for the duration. Even so, you lot are open to attack while getting support. So, utilise information technology carefully.

There are as well two stances you lot need to exist enlightened of. 'Two Legged' where he is standing on his hind legs and 'Iv Legged' where he'south crawling on all fours.

'Two Legged' has his caput loftier up, making information technology harder to hit for melee users. There are two ways yous tin force him to switch his stances.

Damaging his chest with your weapons volition cause Fatalis to torso slam into 'Four Legged' stance. Make sure you lot get out of the way when this happens. Otherwise, you will go squashed and pinned down.
Flinch Shotting into Fatalis' head with the Clutch Claw will cause Fatalis to fall on all fours.

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Phase 1 Teeth Source: Windows Cardinal

In 'Iv Legged' stance, his caput will exist lower to the ground for melee users to hit. Also, you can Blanch Shot Fatalis into walls for massive damage (provided he's not enraged). In the solo portion, the A-Lister can bind Fatalis if you flinch him. Giving you a nice opening for harm.

For ranged users, I would recommend spending merely a few rounds of status result ammo in the 1st stage. This fashion, yous can more easily trigger them afterwards.

Information technology's important to note that y'all should try and focus your attacks at Fatalis' caput if yous tin. Breaking his horns will weaken his fire attacks in Phase 3, which will help you tremendously. Declining to nail his horns will make the fight much harder, so try to focus on that equally much as yous can.

Once you do enough damage to Fatalis, he will wing into the sky to his ultimate attack. Accept embrace backside the ruins with the objective marker. After your encompass has melted, the second phase begins and multiplayer will be unlocked.

Fatalis Phase 2

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Phase Source: Windows Central

Fatalis' ultimate attack volition open upwardly the whole map and give access to more siege weapons. The weapons include the Roaming Ballista, another regular Ballista, a cannon at the back of the arena (the beginning cannon platform volition be destroyed during the stage transition), and Folder Ballista ammo.

Use the Roaming Ballista ASAP. Information technology'south already loaded, and it can do massive damage to Fatalis' breast or head. Especially if they are tenderized. Likewise, using Roaming Ballista immediately will let y'all use it again later on in the final phase, after information technology's recharged. If you apply the Temporal Drapery whilst using information technology, you won't be knocked off. Keep the elapsing in mind though, in case Fatalis decides to do a philharmonic.

There are besides ledges at present, so you can practise aerial attacks to trigger a mountain. Here's a tip when mounting monsters; If you use Slinger ammo to flinch the monster whilst mounting it, you lot tin can topple information technology faster.

Fatalis can now wing to roast yous from above. Ranged users can still striking Fatalis, just melee users will have to clutch claw onto him to practise impairment. You can force Fatalis back to the ground by flinch shotting him (when he's not enraged) or apply Folder Ballista ammo.

Bated from that. The fight is the same as before. Go along laying on damage and eventually Fatalis will fly into the sky to scorch the earth once again. Caput to the switch with the objective marker at the back of the arena. This will activate a gate to protect you from Fatalis' ultimate set on.

Later the gate has melted, Fatalis will scream to the heavens and go nuclear, signaling you arrived at the last phase.

Fatalis Stage iii

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Phase Source: Windows Central

At this point, Fatalis is and so mad that his burn powers take gone out of control. He gains 3 new attacks during this state.

Fatalis's Charge Up Fireball tin now be fired three times in succession.
A torso slam where you become glued to his chest before being chewed upwardly and spat out.
Fatalis looks to the side and proceeds to practice 360-degree spin fire breath set on. This move, in my opinion, is his most deadly assault. Best style to avert this is past getting to his chest at the opposite side of Fatalis' head when he'south charging this move. And then dodge roll to the other side once the flame is coming to your side. Superman Dive also works.

All of his flame jiff attacks are augmented in this state, to the signal where they can potentially one-shot yous, no matter how loftier your defence stats are. Notwithstanding, if you manage to intermission Fatalis' horns during the chase, Fatalis' flame breath will weaken. His horns can be broken twice, each fourth dimension weakening the flame attacks.

Fatalis's chest will become softer due to his out of control fire, taking more damage during this state every bit a effect.

For gunners, at present would be a good time to use the rest of your status issue ammo. Except Sleep ammo, salvage that for later.

At this point, Fatalis doesn't have any more than tricks up its scales. Though he will occasionally attempt to do his ultimate attack to finish yous off. Except now in that location's no comprehend to hide behind.

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Castle Shot Source: Windows Central

Fortunately, Fatalis won't get out of the map'south boundaries anymore. And so, you can run underneath him to avoid the assail. Information technology won't impale you immediately if you get hit, and then continue calm and go on running. Once underneath him, you tin pelt him with ranged ammo or heal yourself. Do annotation that Farcasters get locked out during this attack, and so you can't use them to escape like with Lunastra's Supernova.

After doing enough damage in this phase, y'all will be notified that the Dragonator is set up. One time it is, lure Fatalis to the back of the arena. Activate the switch in one case he's there. This will do insane amounts of damage to Fatalis.

Ranged users, at present is the time to use the residual of your Sleep ammo. If you employ the Dragonator whilst Fatalis is asleep, information technology will do double damage. There's hidden surprise if you hit him with the Dragonator, which I won't spoil. So, don't miss at all costs!

If you lot have survived upwardly to this point, y'all have proven you got the skills to take on Fatalis. There is zip else to learn. Everything from at present is practice and execution. Now it's up to you.

Budget Build Impale Video

Hither's a video of me killing Fatalis using the upkeep Raging Brachydios Greatsword build I mentioned to a higher place. I've never killed Fatalis using this build or in melee before, just I wanted to prove that information technology is possible even without using ideal meta builds. Look mistakes in this video, but it's meliorate to meet my mistakes then that you don't make them yourself.

Farming Fatalis

Monster Hunter World Fatalis Flying Source: Windows Central

Without spoiling the stats, Fatalis' gear is the all-time in the entire game. You are definitely going to want to subcontract for this.

After beating Fatalis' Special Consignment, you lot volition gain admission to his Upshot Quest. Which is slightly harder considering you get 3 lives by default instead of v. That'south the just difference. The fight proceeds as we covered.

My method farming for Fatalis' gear is the post-obit:

Using the Palico Plunderblade to steal his crafting materials.
Targeting simply the head to break his horns twice. This will give yous guaranteed drops of i horn and one eye.

Each time I get the eye, I return from the quest. This usually takes about me xv minutes or so. It'south more efficient than killing him outright because you lot get guaranteed drops. Whereas, merely killing him will give you lot random chances to get the materials.

Good luck hunters. You volition need it.
