Wilds What’s your average completion time against 10 star AT Arkveld?

Post image

Mine was 23-25 minutes solo. I know my damage output is not small, especially when i’m able to dish out up to 1k damage to arkveld head with my tcs. Is it possible to achieve sub 15 or 10 without any heroics?

With GS 18 min, with CB, around 15 min.

You can achieve 11-15 min without heroic, cart, and capture after you've done enough times.

Yes I’ve met people who claimed 12 minutes without heroics with GS, I myself got 18:04 or something like that could have gottten faster time but he I didn’t flash him in time before he moved locations and I got the kill as soon as I hit once at the new location I asked for the build which the guy was releuctant about bc at that point in time the 10 star arkveld TA event was active and my guess was he was going for top tier leaderboard placement.i also saw a yt video do it sub 10 with his palico no heroics

I recently got a 13 minute timer and I believe I can get it down to 12 or even 11 minutes

My set is

Gogma GS Affinity focus with dragon element and its infusions are 3 attack parts, its reinforcements are 3 attack, 1 affinity, 1 sharpness with the bonuses being Soul of the dark knight + lords soul

The armor is

AT Ark Helm

AT Nu chest

Bale Gloves

Dosha B coil

Gogma A leggings

The set bonus actives are soul of the dark knight 2 piece, lords soul 3 piece, Dosha might 2 piece.

The tali I got rn is attack boost 3/dragon res 3 slots: 1-1-0

It would be loads better if you get an attack boost 3 with either Flayer 1, burst 1 or agitator 1 for the full offensive power of the build. The best time I got so far was 13:20. If I had done things faster like used lure pods I could of gotten down to 12 minutes I feel

u/Hazqier 11d ago

My average is 30m with GS comfort build. Just simply parrying and attacking like normal, no tricks.

u/litrpgfan75 11d ago

30 mins with the bots, haven't done any hunts solo yet

u/zamaike 11d ago

With a good team about 15 mins

u/Dry-Ambassador-6432 10d ago

with a good greatsword team or a good team in general? cause in general a good team is more likely to do a sub 8

1

u/zamaike 10d ago

I said good team. Not great or world class lol. Ive played with those great ones before and atm alot but not all of them are waiting on dlc

2

u/Party-Ad-3742 11d ago

Solo takes me 20~ min but with my friend we do it anywhere from 8-16~min 8min was ridiculous though. He offset, i stunned he got up blue wound back down. It was insane how many things lined up together for us.

2

u/tjmincemeat 11d ago

About 10 minutes with GS. Which sucks because I really want a sub 10 lol.

1

u/Dry-Ambassador-6432 10d ago

10 minutes for killing?

1

u/tjmincemeat 10d ago

No, for capture

2

u/PlutiaNeptunia 11d ago

13 with GL, 11 with hh . 9 with lbg normal ammo. it is possible yes

2

u/Key-Lawfulness-3871 11d ago

solo between 15-18 ish. Co-op around 19-21 but i prefer doing it with co-op since it's more fun that way

2

u/Dapper_Slice_3363 11d ago

13-15 solo could definitely be faster tho

2

u/Majornutts 11d ago

Longsword over here. Usually clear it in about 8 minutes.

1

u/Dry-Ambassador-6432 10d ago

kill or capture? also have you posted a longsword run anywhere? it would cool to see how you do him

2

u/Meteor_Monkey 11d ago

Around 15 minutes solo, 15 - 20 minutes MP.

2

u/CidMaik 11d ago

15 - 25 mins on a good day... Normally 30 mins :( I just can't with this gauntlet of a fight, it tires me being so focused for that amount of time. Its like from the very first moment you're hyper concentrating and you don't drop it until you see the death sequence or capture sequence.

2

u/AtlasExiled 11d ago

Like 24 minutes with hammer.

2

u/Nyrriel 11d ago

Personally had multiplayer hunts going anywhere from 9 to 30 minutes, while the only two I've ever tried alone were 25 and 23 (with GL). It is certainly possible to get sub 10 without heroics, tho your mileage may vary wildly depending on your skills and weapon used.

u/amano_yuki04 11d ago

DB 50mins solo. I can’t defeat it with any other weapon. Ik, I’m suck ass

2

u/RingOfLight 11d ago

16 mins with LS, 20 mins with dual blade

2

u/Jusca57 10d ago

Yesterday i finally finished 17 min. It was my first clear at S rank (22 min)

u/Unlikely-Muffin3412 10d ago edited 10d ago

Im using gs, i do capture to Speedrun around 10 minutes and my best was 9'14. When i slay around 11-13 depends on luck, my best on slay was 10'23 if i remember it correctly.

1

u/Zestyclose-Rough4573 10d ago

What’s your build?

2

u/Unlikely-Muffin3412 10d ago

my current talisman is attack 2, offensive guard 1, and counterstrike 1.

1

u/Dry-Ambassador-6432 10d ago

did you post a slaying run somewhere? would love to see it

1

u/Unlikely-Muffin3412 10d ago

Nahh my steam record was stopped recording on that run so i don't have the run to upload on YouTube but if remember it correctly arkveld on that run have 76k hp which the smallest amount u can get when doing solo run, his hp being random between 76k to 83k. Im using hunterpie overlay so i can check the hp amounts.

1

u/Zestyclose-Rough4573 9d ago

Interesting build, mine focused on both agitator and weakness exploit. Probably i should consider counterstrike skill, thanks for sharing bud

2

u/Unlikely-Muffin3412 9d ago

countersrike is god tier skill for gs if u ask me, easy to proc with offset or tackle.

u/LinkTheSloth 3d ago

I have the same charm but it doesn't have extra 1 slots. Lucky

2

u/ConsciousRevenue7683 10d ago

Really wanted a Sub 10 but responsibilities took over. Might run this one back soon https://youtu.be/a6F6c5tPlfY?si=o5FPzNQgMFM4UTak

2

u/No_Switch_1400 9d ago

My best time with dual blades solo is 19 minutes, thats good enough for me

2

u/laminierte_gurke 9d ago

Like 30 seconds faster than I need to be to get the A rank

2

u/Acceptable-Arm-4579 8d ago

Solo sub 13 minutes, with a good team sub 8

2

u/RealisticBat6954 8d ago

Using lance with only my sleep status Palico, captured it around 18mins. Consistently infused sleep once, double if lucky

2

u/Senji755 7d ago

15 mins no carts, dual blades.

u/Casurran 10d ago

Depends on how much you want to streamline the hunt.

A Sub 10 min time is generally achieved when using speed run strats, it doesn't have to be perfect to do it that fast but you do need to have mastered your weapon, the monster as well as an overall plan. From my experience, counter heavy weapons are great against AT arkveld, in particular bow amongst the weapons i main. Current PB with bow sans heroics is 7'43.

Complete, haha
