Recently, I found a team of 4 gunners to perform a method of killing Alatreon called Clusting. What is Alatreon clusting you ask? It's a method where 4 gunners get on the wall and shoot clust lvl 2 at Alatreon's wings over and over and over again. (NO, THIS WILL NOT BREAK ALATREON'S HORNS).

Here's a sample of a speedtime done through this method:


Spoiler


So, what Equipment/Items do you need to perform this?

Gun Setup:

Rathling+ Barrel (One gun will have Blizzard cannon frame)
Rathling+ Frame
Agnablaster Stock

Don't ask me what shots it has, for our purposes you just need to know it shoots 5 Clust lvl 2, and 2 Poison lvl 2 (After load up/Clust S all up).

Armor:

Barrage Earring
Mutsu+
Mutsu+
Mutsu+
Mutsu+

OOO or recoil+4 Charm

Decorations: 2 ClustPlus gems, 3 Absorber gems, 2 Flinchfree gems

Skills: Recoil Down+3, Load Up, Clust S All Up

Items:

Book of Combos 1
Book of Combos 2
Book of Combos 3
Book of Combos 4
Book of Combos 5
Cool Drink x5
Potion x10
Large Barrel Bomb x2
Large Barrel Bomb+ x2
Small Bone Husk x99
Wyvern Claw x50
Flash Bomb x5
Hunting Horn x1
Demon Flute

Ammo:

Clust lvl 2 x5
Poison lvl 2 x8
Sleep Shot lvl 2 x8

*Make sure Clust lvl 2 is at the top of your speed combo list*

Walkthrough:

Go over the plan with your teammates, and decide who will flash bomb Alatreon (more on that later).

You obviously spawn with Alatreon right in front of you. Immediately after you spawn, lay down 2LBB's right where you are.

*IF YOU ARE NOT FLASH BOMBING*

After you set the bombs, run to the wall, do not drink a cool drink. Count to 3 in your head. On three, roll. This prevents you from getting the shudder animation when Alatreon spots you. Keep running for a bit, and as soon as you start doing the panic run, dive through Alatreon's scream. Once everyone gets to the wall, set your LBB+ at the spot where you climb (try to stack them, don't worry about detonating them, the clust's bomblets will). Climb the wall. If you are lucky and Alatreon is within range of a Poison shot, everyone shoot a poison shot, this will poison him. Load your Clust lvl 2 and then use your hunting horn (The flash bomber should arrive by now)

*IF YOU ARE FLASH BOMBING*

After everyone has set their bombs, set a small barrel bomb and step away. Drink a cool drink, and wait until after Alatreon roars. Immediately after, flash bomb him. You are then on a mad-dash to the wall. Once you get there, set your LBB+ where your teammates did and climb the wall Immediately use the demon flute, and then load your clust lvl 2

After that...

The craziness begins. Alatreon will charge the wall and immediately get stuck. For the person who has the Blizzard Cannon, put Alatreon to sleep the FIRST time he hits the wall. If done right, his head will land right where you layed down your bombs. Detonate the bombs as soon as he hits the ground with a normal shot lvl 1. Be really quick to reload, Alatreon will scream when he wakes up. After that Alatreon will keep getting stuck in the wall. Start spamming clust lvl. 2. Shoot your clusts on his back in between his wings. Basically just keep repeating this.

A few guidelines:

DO NOT SHOOT ALTREON'S HORNS. The bomblets will shoot right back at you and shoot you and your teammates off the wall

Try to stay on the very right of the wall. If someone does hit the horns and everyone goes flying, there's an invisible wall to keep you from flying off the side, unlike the left side, where it's easier to fly off.

If you can't hit Alatreon's wings, hit his belly/legs

Stay near the back of the wall. This way a bomblet can't land behind you and launch you forward.

If Alatreon's legs happen to break and he falls over, and you have to get to the edge of the wall to hit him, walk forward, don't roll. Yes, this is likely to happen to you. Kinda tough to remember this in the middle of the madness, but people do roll off alot.

Give your teammates space. Yes, if you accidently shoot a teammate bomblets will come off and you will all go flying.

Whoever is detonating the bombs after Alatreon sleeps, make sure to shoot just to the side of the bombs.

Hopefully, this helps you to kill Alatreon very quickly and efficiently. Practice makes perfect. This is a great way of grinding HR and farming for timeworns in case you were wondering. Good Luck :]

Correct me if I forgot/messed up on something.

Very creative, but if possible, could you make a video of you doing this?

Also, Crag shots might be able to hit the horns without knocking you over.

Crags won't do nearly enough damage to kill him that fast.

Updated Strategy. Might as well set a couple LBB's in the very beginning for some extra damage. We also decided to throw in a sleepbomb to speed things up. Fastest kill is now 2:27
