Here are some thoughts for the weapons for fatalis.
- Initially I heard a lot of horror stories regarding the ranged weapons for Fatalis but surprisingly it was not as bad. I would rank the ranged weapon from easiest to hardest for fatalis as LBG>HBG>Bow. For HBG, I decided to use EE 2 without shield mods and I could pretty much dodge all of fatalis attacks.
- My favourite weapons to fight against fatalis are the greatsword (my main), switch axe and LBG.
- The most difficult weapons to fight against fatalis to me would be the charge blade (I had to use savage axe mode as I found it difficult to aim SAED but the savage axe also kept hitting non weak points) and hammer (I thimk for me it would be the lack of range so if fatalis doesnt cone, i am unable to land a hit and when he is on all fours, I kept missing his head).
- Completing this journey gave me a deeper appreciation for IG, HH and LBG which I had nvr used before this. Now I plan to try IG and LBG in Sunbreak.
Thank you Capcom for creating this masterpiece of a game!
