Holy crap- just beat Gobul on my first try offline. I was literally down to my last minute and was about to just end it since I had completed the lantern subquest, and I beat him as the clock was winding down. So awesome.


Edit- what hammer path would people recommend right now? (in terms of materials, just got my first Gobul stuff, can now make the first Gobul hammer).

 

[Kandinsky]

Do every MH prior to this have the same incredible Monster animation this beast has?, this game is jawdroping awesome, especially in the animation department holy crap.

Anyways i got my full Qurupeco set including its SnS/Hammer(which i looove) and just beat Barroth for the first time (offline) took me a lot of time and items but i did it, yay me!

 

[Boney]

I got my Rathian plate on my first kill. Rathalos is paying me back though because his just won't drop.

Why bother...

I think all the Monster animations are new for MH Tri (or at least redone)

 

[Poyunch]

Why can't I prance! I have no second page of gestures.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Rathian is easy. Rathalos is easy.

Together, they are Satan. Even if they do end up fireballing each other like Doom imps.

 

[Van Owen]

It seems like every time I complete an armor set I already got enough for the next best suit. Just completed my Barroth set and it's already time to switch to some Gobul pieces. :lol

I really hate my Barroth greatsword though. Thing gets dull after like five hits.

 

[Hawkian]

Still no ian plate. But I felt this image should appear on this page too.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

put a little man rolling on the floor underneath it and still getting squashed anyway

 

[Lonely1]

about cheating

What did they said?

BTW, anyone up for 3*s?

 

[Hawkian]

That message appears randomly for everyone. It says Capcom fucks cheaters with a rake.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Alright I finally made my Tusk lance+ now I need a complimenting lancing armor. I know all the greatness of having Barioth armor for Evade +, but what about Agnaktor for Guard and Guard Up? Any lancers have experience with those 2 skills and how useful they are especially in comparison to Evade+ (Stamina+ isnt as big a deal because I can chug dash juices).

Evade +1 =0.2s -> 0.33s invincible time
Evade +2 =0.2s -> 0.4s invincible time
Guard +1/2 = Strengthen your guard and prevent damage/push back while guarding.

How rare are Agnaktor Claws, i've fought like around 10 of them and only have 1 claw.

You got to break 4 claws to get them as rewards or you can dig the corpse.

 

[Hawkian]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG@H$G#@$@#@&$%@#$!@!!#!

 

[Alex]

Peco+ armor is great stuff. Finished my set, got my final tier of the para lance, makes for good duoing.

 

[Hawkian]

Looking for one more for Hawkian's House of Disappointment, Wis1/40/2

EDIT: ALSKE IS MY GOOD LUCK CHARM OMG

Congratz. Now you can finally make some halfway decent armo-- Dude at this point you should be making Rathalos armor :lol

 

[Dreavus]

Ahhh, Sorry guys that were waiting for me, I'm jumping on now if you're still around.

 

[civilstrife]

This game is so good.

 

[Neo C.]

ime and selenae will be on tommorow evening if you need any help. which urgent is it?

The Barioth one. I'm still pretty low in HR.

The iron hammer path! You probably using a shitty hammer with little to no green.

 

[Hawkian]

Nope, still need two wyvern claws.

I dunno what you mean by (fwoosh edit) "at this point." Just beat Gobul offline.

 

[Delio]

If anyone is up for it tommorow i'd love some Barioth help.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Getting stuck in the quest to capture a Lagiacrus in the Jungle. Its quickly approaching levels of "shit game design" in that mission by putting such a big fucking monster with a very wide attack ratio in such tiny spaces :\ Even if I had some better vision and not murky water and algae all over the place I would do a lot better, as it is right now its really hard to read his attack patterns.

I can understand the space issue but not the water problem. Also it shouldn't really be hard to read his attack pattern underwater (unless you had not been able to previously).

 

[Kard8p3]

It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I report this...the Y button on my CC Pro is getting stuck, and I've only had it since Tuesday .

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Okay, so I swear there was a modder in my group today. Dia and I were playing with two other people, and we started my 4* Urgent (Rathalos/Rathian). And we all started hacking away at Rathian, and she died in under three minutes. And the quest as a whole only took around eight minutes.

Something about that just seems...way, way off. There's no way we legitly killed Rathian in under three minutes. We were pretty sure that one of our party members who went by the name SETO was cheating. Couldn't prove it though.

In the Moga Woods with the clear water theres no issues, but I have a hammer and have to stay relatively close and whenever hes hogging a wall (which happens to be often, theres not much room) in the jungle swamp, I'm greeted to HUGE ALGAE TEXTURE ON MY SCREEN. Then he comes out of nowhere with the electric rush that takes half your health.

I do have to get better, but theres been a fair amount of bs in this fight.

Depending on the weapon, if you know what youre doing .. that sounds pretty legit, honestly

Sounds like some better armor wouldn't hurt either. What are you using right now?

Also are you making sure to eat at the Canteen before every quest?

 

[Niblet]

Alright I decided on going with Agnaktor armor for my lancer because it suits me more. Now that I got my lovely Agnaktor set I notice something. It has a negative ability called Short Sprinter which makes running drain Stamina much faster. Ugh, but I'll cope. It also has this skill I'm ambivalent towards: Flaming Aura. The skill causes monsters to react as if you are holding a torch. "Oh gee, this sounds like it would be a nice skill to have." So far these are the reactions I have gotten:

Giggi - Don't try to jump on you. Not very useful.
Melynx - Do not attack you unless you hit them, just like Felynes. Useful because I hate my shock traps being stolen
Bnahabra - I have become the victim of a plague of biblical proportions. If you are playing with me and I'm using a lance, take comfort in knowing that the Bnahabra will make a bee line (eh, eh?) straight for me. Oh, Diablos is enraged and about to charge me? No problem let me just put up my shie--- ZZZT is the sound of me being paralyzed by a Bnahabra that exact moment.
So 1 positive result so far and 1 negative. Having to weight these I would say FUCK BNAHABRA but I'm not wasting a slot to remove this ability unless there are more negative monster reactions.

Nope, still need two wyvern claws.

I dunno what you mean by (fwoosh edit) "at this point." Just beat Gobul offline.

:lol Are you on right now? I'll give you the Wyvern Claw so I can finally see you in your Rathian glory

 

[hatchx]

Can someone give me some help?


I can't figure out two things:

1. Fishing
level one Goldenfish Quest....I can't seem to figure it out. I have bait, but how do I use it?

2. Trapping
level two trap the mother jaggi. I've used a ton of sleep grenades. What do I mix to make some good trapping materials?

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Yeah I logged a fair amount of hours into the PSP games, so I'm well versed in "being ready" Ive been getting a health and an attack boost, with another attack boost with decorations

Right now Im rocking the Ludroth set but Ive been meaning to get the Rathian set, however those plates are hard to come by, specially for a Hammer user :|

I think most of it is getting used to fighting underwater, as soon as the bitch goes on land I do a real good job.

1. This one takes forever, cause often the fish arent there. You can fish with worms that you can dig out very close to the fishing area in Moga woods by the water. Basically check to see if theres any BIG yellow fish (the small ones wont do) and just lure and wait)

2. The quest gives you all the materials you need. Basically get the monster to limp back. It will go back to its nest and fall asleep. When it does set the trap net to it, wake it up (pressing "+" will kick, useful for times like these), when it falls into the trap hit it with 2 tranq bombs and it will pass out, giving you a successful capture. If two tranqs dont knock it out,it means it wasnt weak enough to capture yet.

Hmm maybe it's just me or my TV settings but I can see fine enough underwater. Also I guess I don't have to be as close as you since I normally use Switch Axes.

It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I report this...the Y button on my CC Pro is getting stuck, and I've only had it since Tuesday .

Had a similar issue when I found out my DSi's L button doesn't always want to work when I press it.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Eh, itll work out eventually, I just needed to vent.

I was actually using the Switch Axe up till recently, but I dunno what combos actually do the best damage yet (so far Ive switched to blade from the get go and just spam the heavy atack button, with the "+" attack thrown in when I have a chance to hit it) So thats why I switched back to the hammer, cause I know exactly how to do maximum damage at all times.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Goldenfish are easy once you know how. Just make Goldenfish Bait (Snakebee Larva + Firefly).

All the other fish instantly swim away and Goldenfish swim in and go right for it.

 

[hatchx]

Thanks dudes.

 

[Hiltz]

Slayed Lagiacrus for the quest. A fairly intense battle with 14 minutes to spare on the clock.

The Volcano level looks sweet.

 

[Kevtones]

Had a great time with Fabian64, Rokal, and Hamion. Productive night!


Detonating bomb!

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Been able to sink a bit more time into this in the last few days, I've just beaten the kill great jaggi / capture great jaggi quests of level 2. (Obviously I'm quite a beginner!)

Something I wasn't sure about with regards to capturing:

In the capture quest he limped off to the cave to go to sleep, where i accidentally woke him before setting the trap and from there he seemed to be moving around normally again. I smashed him over the head a few more times and he limped off again; which made me nervous as I didn't want to kill him and fail the quest. So, my question is - do the monsters regain health by limping off and going to sleep?

Nope. You didn't have to make it limp again if it already was before.

 

[selig]

Is it normal that the Ludroth-armor is better than the steel-armor? I unlocked the steel-one later, so I thought it´d be better...and then I got one-hit killed by a Diablos

 

[Scalpel Knight]

I'm getting this soon and I want to know, is the online population substantial, and is questing with random people generally easy or are they uninviting?

Yes, they do, but it's not like some kind of turbo regen--just don't let them sit forever. By the time the monster actually limps away they are usually fairly deep into capture HP so it's probably safe to just do it without hitting them, but one or two swings probably won't hurt.

The capture cues tend to disappear when they shift areas, but it still applies. If you wear capture guru armor you'll notice they tend to become capture-able a good deal before they ever show any real signs of it.

 

[slaughterking]

Awww, I didn't realize the Jhen quest would be over after a couple of days. I Didn't get my Dragon Gem -- it's the Pure Bladestone all over again, but without a happy end for me.
Well, at least for now. Before realizing that I could not do the event anymore I joined a Jhen featured server. We started the quest and I was thinking "Hu, I never noticed these companion ships before -- nice little touch". Then I noticed the different attack pattern and it became clear that I'm doing the complete fight here. The second part is just amazing and together with the first part an incredible showcase of Capcoms capability to handle the Wii the right way. The staging is absolutely on par with the best Nintendo has to offer.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Great. Thanks PounchEnvy and Remfin!

You know, it's hard to say that a type of armor at that level is really better than any other. Really you should just get whatever armor is good for your play style/weapon. I used Qurupecco armor up until 3 star quests (and I probably could still use it, if I wanted.)

 

[demonkaze]

Evade +1 =0.2s -> 0.33s invincible time
Evade +2 =0.2s -> 0.4s invincible time
Guard +1/2 = Strengthen your guard and prevent damage/push back while guarding.


You got to break 4 claws to get them as rewards or you can dig the corpse.

What's the best way to go about breaking the claws and what weapon should you use? Been using the upgraded Spiral Lance for Agnaktor.

Also, on another note, what armour should I be looking at now that i'm in the Elite quests? Using a fully upgraded Yamato set and it seems to be working pretty well.

alright.
but another thing that comes to mind:
I need "Advanced armor balls" or whatever they´re called in English, to upgrade my armor sets. The only place where I´ve seen them is the captain, who´d trade them against rare stuff. After almost 70 hours of playing, I have not seen a single rare stuff piece. Where do you get those?

 

[slaughterking]

You get them from Junior after you're reporting your hunts to him.

You generally get them when you kill big guys in the Moga Woods (not on a quest, just gathering resources). You can also get a few off of other things, like a *** commodity by killing a bigger-than-normal bnahabra.

 

[Dreavus]

The new event quest is pretty tough, and the drop rate on the "plans" seems really wonky. I managed to complete it five times today and only got 2 plans total (0, 0, 1, 1, 0), while my buddy got THREE in one run, and he wasn't even wearing a jaggi mask. I wish they'd share the wealth a bit more, considering how difficult this event is!
