Line 3:
* One for one of the monsters: in the Akantor ecology, the eponymous Akantor duels a Gravios. The Akantor not only resists a full blast of the Gravios' Heat Beam, it ''[[Curb Stomp Battle|takes out the Gravios in one blow]]'' and then tosses the corpse like a rag doll. Then it roars triumphantly over the Gravios as the volcanoes in the background erupt. Seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJuKVmZHSKc here].
* In ''Tri'', driving off {{spoiler|The Ceadeus}}. Even if you had help in the form of ancient weaponry, you still took down a sea-dragon larger than your ''base camp''. You broke the mighty horns that {{spoiler|caused earthquakes}} every time he rammed the ocean. You dodged torrents of water that would have ''ended your life'' not too long ago, and you made a dragon, who is ''deserving'' of the name "sea god", one that the Guild would need to send an ''army'' after, ''run away''. And in doing so, you save {{spoiler|Moga Village}}. In-story, the final cutscene marks this as your crowning achievement. A masterwork of bravery and skill that will be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMQpL4W5NcM Spoken Of Forever].

* Hunters can get mini-size Awesome moments whenever they can kill off the monsters either really quickly OR with a weapon that most people would advise you NOT to use.
* Generally, killing ''any'' elder dragon counts as this. You, an ordinary human with no magical powers, no [[Supernatural Martial Arts]], no artefact to do all the hard work for you, face down a creature that will at least fill the average room entirely, with access to nigh-supernatural elemental power, hide impenetratable to any normal weapon and the sheer strength to snap your whole body in two with a flick of its wrist. You go at this beast with nothing but good physical condition, weapons and armor you carved the ingredients for from the still-warm corpses of weaker monsters, whatever ragtag [[Band of Brothers]] you can pull together and ''sheer force of will''. Kill it, and were this at all like real life, you would likely go down forever in history and legend. It's that time when you realize you'be come a ''long'' way from farming guts and beating off raptors.
