Paintballs and throwing knives also work. Probably boomerangs, too- I haven't seen any aside from the ones the shaka companion throws, but I presume they're there.Sammy Samusu said:

Question for those of you who have played with both control schemes.
I use Type 1 controls since I'm so used to playing Unite. I haven't had much practice underwater but so far it's been a little frustrating having camera control tied to moving up and down.
Now my cousin just tells me that with Type 2 controls the two Z buttons can control your decent under while you move. Is this true?
I remember tapping the Z buttons while moving with Type 1 controls and not seeing anything happen so I thought they didn't do anything. If it is true that they work that way in Type 2 do they do the same thing in Type 1? It would really help me.

I also use the type 1 cc control scheme and have used the Z buttons for going up and down underwater. I don't think those buttons are used anywhere else. Those moves use up stamina, so I generally prefer using the camera to point up or down and then swim.RuneFactoryFanboy said:

While moving? If that's true I'm going to be very happy when I get home.Lance Bone Path said:
I thought they only shot you straight up or straight down.
So far, the hit boxes on the monsters seem a lot better, nothing anywhere near as bad as plessy, every time I have been hit, I was actually touching a monster. Its a nice improvement, but it also seems to make the game easier now that I don't have to worry about a monsters psychic forcefield.
Also barroth is the most annoying monster so far, especially when he goes into rage mode.

I think "shot you straight up or straight down" is a good way to describe it. It's probably not great for fine depth control.RuneFactoryFanboy said:

If there's no number, then you won't be able to use this particularly ammo.Insaniac said:
If your Frame supports 3 Pellet, Barrel 2 Pellet, and Stock 0 Pellet you will be able to load 5 Pellet shots, the amount you're able to bring to the battlefield is the same for everyone, it's not affected by the user's weapon.

You return to the village as a failure. Your inventory will be the same as whatever it was before you were K.O.ed so you get to keep any carves or whatever.Bison11 said:
You're free to retry the quest as many times as you like (at least until you go broke and can't afford the quest fee any more).

Wii Speak: not a fan. I was having trouble talking to my friend, he sounded like he was on a walkie-talkie and we ended up using PS3 chatroom. Are we doing it wrong? Anyone else have other Wii Speak experience on this game?
Attack You
Member
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around Long Sword. I can't seem to reliably evade after an attack, I feel like I'm committed to an attack string longer than with the hammer, and it's difficult to tell the difference between registering hits and whiffing. I took to Gunlance and Switch Axe quicker. Hm. I just made a Baggi armor set with the Charge skill, though. Maybe I can figure something out from there.
Is there anyway to Unsheathe -> Charge with the Great Sword on the Wii remote? I'd hate to have to buy a CC Pro just for that. :lol
Edit: Never mind. I figured it out. I read the instruction booklet wrong.

Normally on a bowgun there are certain types of bullets you can fire and the level of the bullets (lv 1 ok damage, lv3 highest damage)
The numbers mean how much bullets that bowgun can hold at a time before you have to reload and it shows for each bullet type and its level. If you see no number it usually means either the bullet itself is not supported or the bullet level is not supported buy the particular bowgun
eg if you have a bowgun with this (supposedly the light bowgun from MH3)
Type Lv1 Lv2 Lv3
Normal S 6 6 3
Pierce S 4 1
Pellet S 3 2 1
Crag S 1
Type Lv1 Lv2
Recover S 3
Poison S 5
Para S 3 2
Sleep S 3
Sub S 1
Demon S 1
Armor S 1
Exhaust S 1
Type
Tranq S 2
Paint S 2
On the extreme left is the bullets it supports, each bullet has a level (except special bullets like the elemental bullets and paint bullet) and how much it will hold in one reload
so for normal bullets it will support Lv 1, LV 2, LV3 bullets and will hold 6,6 and 3 bullets for the respective levels
for pierce it supports level 1 and 2 (no Lv3) with 4 and 1 shot respectively
etc.
it determines the type of bowgun you have.
Light bowguns are normally weaker damage but you make up for it with mobility such as running around with it while its armed, time it takes to arm the weapon is fast cuz its light. There is no defense (rolling will help here).
Heavy bowguns does more damage but you lose mobility, slower reload time, weapon arming. It can have a shield that protects you from some attacks and roars and normally supports the really powerful bullets like Crag.
I guess Medium is supposed some middle ground of the two

So I'm doing the crystal bone quest in the desert area and I've spent 20 or so minutes looking for them. Where are they?

Thats the funniest thing ive seen all week.
So ive been interested in MH but never really looked into the series. I might take the jump with 3 but have to noob questions.
1) For those PSO vets, is the experience you get from tri similar to that of PSO?
2) Can this game be played co-op offline?

I was thinking this, but I thought they'd provide a pickaxe if it had to be mined. Fucking assholes! :lolRidley327 said:

1) Yes.ShutDown202 said:
2) Yes, but it's limited to "Arena" battles. You can't play the main game in offline co-op.
