I managed to clear it first attempt, although I was panicking for time because I, like a fool, did not check the time the hunt allowed. The entire rathalos segment was painful because I was too scared to sharpen because I thought I had no time.
Anyway- I had fun, I plan on mostly finishing the game (I don't have iceborne and don't really have any interest in it except being able to say Ive slain fatalis) except all the crowns, I'm not wasting time on the crowns
For anyone curious, was running

I plan on after finishing everything (doing all the tempered elders and stuff) to move to rise to finish that run (I'm currently having issues with teostra on rise, but I'm playing CB for the first time and then sunbreak. Who knows, by the time I finish sunbreak, the wilds DLC may be out!
