Booted up some Monster Hunter World Iceborne and decided to try a challenge run. In this run:

-No Palico
-No mantles
-No equipment like health booster
-No Fatalis armor/weapons
-No flashpods
-No wallbangs
-No tenderizing (Kind of, didn't know pressing B tenderizes too)
-No attack buff items like mega demondrug
-No food attack buff
-Dragon weapon for no elemental topples

I'm not that great so I messed up a lot, didn't do all the possible helmbreaker openings since I constantly missed them when practicing, and there were a few lucky moments I had, but I had a lot of fun! Alatreon is one of my favorite fights so it's always fun to try and improve at it. Might give it a shot with greatsword instead of longsword next.
