Beating Humilias SH (For Hunters)

[Pokerealm]

Ok, I've seen A LOT of people have trouble beating Humilias, let alone SH Humilias.

As I played through Arca 50+ times on SH, I decided to make a quick and easy guide on how to beat him fast, and accurate.

-------------

Let's start with our armor slots, these will be VERY helpful while battling Humilias.

1. Ice Protect
2. Slow Protect
3. Compress PA (You'll get this for clearing all 15 Hard quests, incl. the Bakery Quest)
4. Divine/Power (Or a lower variant, if you don't have a Divine)

If you don't have a 4 slot armor, go get one, it shouldn't be hard to find one.

Now that we have our slots ready, it's time to choose our weapon.

What you want is a Claw, with the Serpent Air PA, and a decent Machine boost.
I'm using a CelebHadan Bite+20 with 62% Machine (You can reset on your Hadan Bite).

Now let's move on to the battle, shall we?

If you're using a mag with the Granir PB, use it as soon as the battle starts.
As soon as the PB animation ends, Humilias will be shooting his Ice laser.
Don't worry about this, just evade it, or let it hit you. It won't cause lots of damage, and you won't get frozen due to the Ice Protect. After this, do as stated below.

As soon as Humilias starts moving, you want to charge your PA, while following him as he moves. Get behind him (just walk, do not roll, or your PA will be gone). As soon as he shoots the laser, release the PA, and you will hit him 5 times, on both legs, meaning you'll get 10 hits at max with a single PA. (Usually good for ~1900 damage, depending on your level and weapon).

After this, he will use it's sword in a forward attack, while you're still behind him.
Take a few steps back while charging your PA, and release it as soon as Humilias strikes with his sword. This will usually make him flinch (He will be sitting on 1 knee). This is just an extra bonus, as you can charge your PA, and hit him again before he gets up, and you have a chance of hitting his head/back aswell, making it even more than 10 hits.

After doing this for 3-5 times, he will split up.
I don't have a real strategy for this, sadly.
What I'm doing is getting as far away from both parts as possible, and before they combine as one again, one of them will shoot 2 times, where only 1 or none will hit you (just heal when he's transforming back to Humilias).

Now that he's Humilias again, repeat the process 2-3 times, and he should be down, depending on the damage you inflict.

Just practise this for a while, and you'll find Humilias one of the easiest bosses in the game. Defenses aren't a problem, as you'll only get hit 2-3 times in total when doing everything right.

Well, I wish you the best of luck, and don't forget to let me know if it helped anything.
Also, if you still can't beat him, let me know what's going wrong using this tactic, and I'll try to help you.

Thanks Pokerealm. I'm sure this will be useful for a lot of people, judging by all the threads complaining about Humilias.

[pso_crash]

yea I use the very same strategy. It works very well. I think it's also a good idea to bring scape dolls. If you make a mistake, you'll be glad you did.

True, but even when you die, you can just start over.
I usually save my Dolls for Octo Diablo.
Really, on SH, it's a PAIN to beat it as a hunter, even at level 99 X_X

Also, thanks BDM ^^

I didn't have much trouble with octo in sh. I was using a HUcast though. In the second phase(I think that's the hard part) they can take a full force hit from it, heal, and keep smacking it in the head.

The real issue isn't the lasers, its the panel attacks, which make it hard to keep under him 24/7.

You probably want to state what boss drops those particular resists.

He's dead before he uses the panel attack =p

How do you evade the panel which all light up?

Just stay on one tile, as long as the other tiles stay untouched, they won't light up.
As soon as you hear the sound of the attack, roll to a tile next to you that isn't colored.

However, Humilias hasn't used the panel attack in my last 30 runs or so, as I kill him in ~2 minutes.

I mean the other type of panel when ALL light up red

I've only seen one kind of panel attack, which isn't too hard to evade.
Maybe he did use it against me in story mode, but I can't really remember =/

But yeah, as far as I know, the panels can light up either blue or red, making you frozen or burned if it hits you.

But once again, it's been quite a while since he last used the attack on me, so I can't really tell.

Woah. Lucky you. He almost always uses the panel attacks on me >.<

The panel attack where all of them light up in an order, i either locate the first one and stand on one to the side (thats say 4th up) as the first one disappears (gets fired/used whatever) roll onto it from the one right beside it (but make sure it wasnt the one in front, get hit anyway) you avoid it but depending on the positioning of the boss it may get you hit by his ice/slow beams... but you should be ready for that following the equip list.

I ignored all of this... equiped the best MST weapon i could find and stood behind him spamming zonde for ~15 mins... worked ¬.¬

Thanks for clarifying =)

That could work aswell, but I prefer to knock it down as fast as I can.
Takes a minute and a half =p

Glad it made sence... reading it back i could of given a lightly better discription of it... :s.

Aren't you assuming a little much? We aren't all lvl 100s with awesome-rific claw weapons and maxed POW.

Kind of annoying this guide is so much more popular than mine...

[ブルーベリー]

On a lighter note, run through his legs and wear slow and ice protect.
Really? A guide for him?

The level doesn't really matter, it just takes a bit longer.
I used the same strategy at 7x, and it worked fine for me.

Also, getting a full power mag isn't hard at all, and getting materials is just a matter of some time.

I only wrote this to help other people out, not because I want to be better than others. I didn't know helping is a crime on these boards...

Lurk the board some more, you'll be amazed by the number of people complaining about Humilias.
If you don't have trouble beating Humilias, why do you even bother to look here?
Just to tell me in different words this is useless? You could spend your time on more important things, you know~

[ブルーベリー]

Run through legs and wear slow/ice protect.. Ive said it once I'l say it again. You should win, if you're any good at the game. Serpent Air with good machine% is good. Virtually any PA from behind him will rape him since he has multiple targets.

Yeah, but as I said in my previous post, there are quite a few people who can't beat him properly.

I just felt like helping those people out.
A guide should be detailed, so I didn't feel like typing 2 sentences like, you should wear Ice/Slow protect and attack it's legs from behind.

[ブルーベリー]

But it's true, and complicating things makes stupid people more confused..?

[Pokerealm]

Hehe, I have to agree on that.
I do think this community isn't crowded with little kids, though.
They should be able to understand it, and ofcourse, a few who might not.

I just hope this'll be useful to some people.

[pso_crash]

I think it was a good idea. Humilias can ohko so easily that if you make one misstep your done. If a hunter is have a continuing problem with humilias, and isn't sure why, this could really help out.

[Hatrix]

The Ice/Protect really makes all the difference here, Im gonna have a go at him as soon as Im done with SH Tower. I'm Lv.88 and I still have'nt taken him or Chaos&Mobius down ;_;

[ブルーベリー]

He isn't THAT hard.. Just be brave

[Pokerealm]

Also, another reason why I made a detailed guide, is because all battles become easier when you know the attack patterns of the monsters.

It's far easier when you know what's coming, always being 1 step earlier.

[FoMarlBorough]

for the forces out there,

ive been using rodeo drive between his legs...theres gotta be a joke for this somewhere....if your nuking/ pp usage isnt ideal. hits multiple tatgets ans is a little easier on the pp...as far as i can tell. plus it looks dorky. YEEEHAAAW!

[Arcanas]

hm... I may have to give this a shot, since I've yet to beat him on SH

[Kirukia]

True, but even when you die, you can just start over.
I usually save my Dolls for Octo Diablo.

Also, thanks BDM ^^


Octo is a pain to beat as any class xD
I didn't have too much trouble on him with my RAcaseal, but it was hard so I guess we'll have to wait and see xD
</3 Octo Diablo

Maybe it's just me, but I don't seem to have much trouble with him. But dear lord...Humilias...I hate you, Nemesis...-_-

[ARChan]

Octo Diablo is only bad against guns and foie on some parts. If you have a Missouri rifle or a Yasminkov, it's much too easy. All you have to do is stand just outside of its swinging area and lodge yourself somewhere so that vacuum is negated. After that, it's all about dodging the shots.

As for Humilias, all a Hunter has is to always stay behind Humilias. When taking the hit from a floor panel, be sure you're in your inventory and ready to heal yourself.
