Monster Hunter Stories 2 - SPECIAL Elder's Lair Final Zone - POST-Postgame FINAL Showdown
21I previously did a video of this boss but that was the "normal" Elder's Lair. After completing that you get to do it all over again at a higher level, so this is the true final post-game battle.
It gets a bit nuts at the end constantly using items when I need to attack, and the fight dragged on a bit so I spaced out a couple of times and forgot what attack phase I was at (which happens when you've tried to record acceptable performances several times and had different technical/gaming issues doing so). The end is a bit on the item-spam side but you NEED to stay in the comfort zone when it can wipe out 2 of your hearts in 1 turn even when you're LV 90 with the best gear maxed out!
Aside from the fight being higher scaled, the main difference is that the elder doesn't tell you "hey there's more" at the end this time.
Word is that you die after 50-55 turns so must win before that. Apparently the best strategy is to save up several kinships for when it stands up, burst through that phase with them, rinse and repeat. I wasn't aware of that at the time.
I found the following resources useful for getting through the game and am listing them for my own reference but you might find them helpful:
