Alateron is easy once you get to know its moves and weakness. I will give you tips on defeating Alateron. First of all, armor. DO NOT wear armor that is weak to fire such as Lagicrus. Alateron fire ball is the most thing you'll get hit by which does the most damage. Second, weapons. Ice is its weakness when on the ground, dragon when it's flying. There aren't many strong ice weapons in mh3 such as: Amber Hoarfrost and Sabertooth (G). If you do not have a strong ice weapon then use dragon. Dragon weapons usually have strong raw power and excellent sharpness. If have neither, just use any weapon with high raw power and nice sharpness. Now the moves. At the beginning, Alateron shoots lots of fireballs which is an easy oppertunity to hit the head if you have a hammer. If you are attacking the side of Alateron, it will usually do its dragon slap. It doesn't do much damage, but it will send you flying. It fireball does a lot of damage when it shoots it and jumps back. Sometimes you just can't avoid it so good fire resistance is a must. It will roar, swinging its head toward the ground and it will turn a slight blue. It will fly soon. When it flys, try to hit and flash bomb it as much as you can. That will make it land. It has thunder and ice element here. It can blow ice back and forth when flying forward and if you are hit you will get snowman aliment. It also goes up in the air and blows ice down on you. Don't run like crazy unless you see shadows (which ice falls unto it) following you. It has thunder smacks that hits the ground toward you and causes that to explode. When not angry, it will do it 3 times. When angry, 4 times. It also has this thing where it shoots across the map toward you. Sometime if you are hit by it, it will give you thunderblight. That's all! Happy Hunting!
