Alatreon's Escaton Judgement attack damage depends on how many times you have downed Alatreon before the attack. It is necessary to attack Alatreon using the element he is weak against depending on the situation.
You can only destroy the Horns if the Dragon state is active. If you succeed in destroying the horns, Alatreon's Attribute will switch back to its previous one after the Escaton Judgement. Be sure to aim for its head as much as possible to gain this advantage.

Be sure to pick up the Crystalbursts scattered near the camp at the beginning of the quest. This can help you stagger Alatreon if it is getting too dangerous. You can also use this opportunity to use your Clutch Claw and mount Alatreon.
Alternatively there are also stones near the camp and in Alatreon's arena, make use of these in case you need slinger ammo.
You can use your Clutch Claw to sling Alatreon to a wall whenever it's not enraged. This will deal a significant damage to Alatreon's horns and take it down. In addition to that, you can also use Flash Pods when Alatreon is not enraged. This can set your team up for some damage opportunities.
Since Alatreon will change its element during the fight. It is recommended that you equip Blight Resistance for more survivability. Also, equipping Coalescence will increase your damage over time because of the amount of blights and status effects you will receive.
Farcasters are disabled during the Alatreon fights. Try to avoid using Bowguns or Bows during this quest as they can run out of elemental ammo forcing you to walk back to the camp. It is recommended that you only use melee weapons during the whole fight.
You can weaken the damage of the Escaton Judgement if you can deal enough damage to Alatreon using the correct affinity for each state. You'll know you have weakened Alatreon if the Handler says you have successfully weakened Alatreon's power after toppling him.
You can topple Alatreon twice before the first Escaton Judgement, which will weaken the damage of the first Escaton. You'll know you have toppled him twice if the Handler says that Alatreon's powers are completely shut down.
To avoid fainting from the Escaton Judgement, it is suggested that you group up with your party and place multiple Health Boosters in the same area to recover your health quickly. Using Astera Jerky is also recommended if you are not able to stack the Health Boosters with your party.
Fire or Ice Breath Attack | Straight Ice Breath |
---|---|
Fire and Ice Breaths are not as powerful as Escaton Judgement however, they can still deal significant damage if you stay within its range for too long.
During Breath Attacks, you can go directly below Alatreon to dish out some damage since Alatreon won't be moving during this attack. Staying directly underneath Alatreon will also prevent you from taking damage to its Breath Attack.
This attack will occur once Alatreon flies. It is impossible to get out of its range if you have your weapon out. Be sure to sheathe your weapon as soon as you see Alatreon prepare for this move and get out of its range as fast as possible.
This attack will cause Alatreon to shoot multiple shards of ice or water in the direction where it is facing. They are slow projectiles that can easily be dodged by rolling sideways.
Similar to Zinogre, Alatreon will sometimes do a lightning strike attack wherein a lightning bolt will strike down the ground in a straight line after a few seconds. You can easily dodge these attacks by positioning yourself properly after checking where the lighting will land.
