Today I fought Nergigante for the first time...and then three more times... In the first try I already got it to being close to death (with the skull showing on the map), and fainted two more times in the last area which failed the quest. And all the next attempt were the same, I always fail in the last area by fainting two times. I'm gonna beat it soon, he's really not that hard, but I was wondering if others had the same "problem" with his last area π
Also, how the fuck do you dodge his aerial charge??
A friend of mine had the same issue all those years ago, but he beat it, so don't give up! Make sure you're using the right gear to fight him as this is one of those difficulty checks. And my recommendation to you for his dive bomb is wait till the last second and dodge towards him. Also, why aren't you using the palico?
I've been preparing for the fight by farming Uragaan, so now I'm warning his full set, and it's really good, the damage I'm receiving is not terrible.
Not using the palico because I feel the monsters focus to much on him, which makes it too easy, and the quite frequent heals too. I'm used to the (almost) useless Cha-cha from MH3.
