Finally! After several hours of trial and error, strategizing and multiple attempts, I finally beat Arch Tempered Nergigante! \o/ And more importantly I managed him solo. (YOUR GAMMA PANTS ARE MINE!!!)

AT Nergi is designed for multiple people, so there’s no SP bonus. 

And now some tips for pc players (also for console players if you need it but pc got AT-nergi later than you guys). 

*This is not ye’oldie Nergi, Pointless practicing on his tempered version as he is much faster and has new moves as well as behaviour. He also has the highest health of all the AT Elders save for Xeno and Zorah so be prepared for a long fight.

Bring max potions if your not already and make sure to have their crafting bound to your radial menu, You are going to need them!!!!!! (SAVE ITEM LOADOUTS FOR THIS FIGHT! The less time you spend faffing with items, the more time you have to fight him! You may need every second of that 50min, I timed out on my first attempt.)

If you are going melee, Survival skills are highly recommended. (Health augments, health jewels, recovery jewels, defence jewels etc..) If you don’t, his little slaps will do ridiculous damage, and his other proper moves will oneshot. Gunners and bow users, Avoid getting hit as much as possible. Almost all of his attacks are oneshots, even his little nudges. Even with Maxed upgraded armor. 

Try do as much Damage as you can to him in his first two rooms as he goes ballistic come room 3. (like most elders he follows a set path but it has been changed for this quest)

He starts in the crystal drop room. Use sleep on him and try get him to sleep underneath those droppable crystals for double damage. If he’s out of range, sleep bomb him. But make sure to drop those crystals on him regardless.

DO NOT MOUNT HIM UNTILL AFTER HIS TURF WAR IN ROOM 2

He rapidly becomes immune to status effects so plan ahead what you are going to use. You can get away with 2 for sure, maybe 3 at the most if you are lucky. He can be flashed 3 times too. (Flashes are inadvisable if you are melee, unless you are desperate for breathing room.)

From room 3 onwards he is basically constantly enraged and uses his new move A LOT. Stay on your toes, do not get greedy with your attacks.

He has two types of dive bombs now, the old one we’re used to and his new one which does as much damage but is quicker and has very little warning, and he does both a lot. His spikes grow back much faster and are much harder to break, so no chain knock downs or filching.

Once he’s in his 4th room, try pull him to the room with the lava jet if you can, the more free damage the better.

DO NOT fight him in his final nest area. Bomb him when he sleeps and pull him out of there to the previous room. Keep fighting as normal until he returns to sleep. Bomb him again. Rinse and repeat. If you’ve made it this far, then I'm sure you don’t want to die to the stalactites falling in that room, and it’s incredibly cramped.

All in all Take it slow and steady. He should be dropping pods by the 4th room. If not, just keep plugging at him until he retreats. This fight is a careful balance of balls and caution. There’s very few openings, so you have to take the chance and go for them, but get greedy and you will be punished.

He is incredibly tough, you will be defeated multiple times most likely, but do not give up. Keep at it, take a break if you need one. Use everything you have learnt until now, be it with your team mates or solo. But don’t give up, keep at it and you will beat him. Practice and patience is key.

As tough as he was, I really enjoyed that fight. Gave me the same rush and sense of accomplishment that soloing my way through most of G-rank in Freedom Unite and 4U did. Something I feel has been missing in Monster hunter world. (no I've not beaten behemoth yet because fuck that noise, though I will finish his story missions because i’m sick of THAT music. I don’t like those cross over monsters with their unavoidable insta-death mechanics. While they were neat ideas,  they make poor MH creatures IMO.)

Either way, I’m super hyped for Iceborne now, and looking forward to seeing what they do with it!
