This game is AMAZING. I picked up just because I've always been interested in this series and never got a chance to play it. I put in close to 20 hours this past weekend. This is just the game for someone who wants the MMO fun, but not the monthly payment, nor all the time sink BS that comes with it. This game is paced so perfectly. I loveeeeeeeee it.

GG to all those Gaf'ers I played with. Sorry I had to leave after 3-4 missions but my old crew of adhoc players got on. I put in only 26 hours but here are some thoughts:
You cannot send a message to players offline (am I wrong about that?)
You cannot find player in search if they are offline
Wii Speak was the worst purchase for me since Auto Modelista.
As a hammer user, I hate water battles. Hard to gauge how close I am to the monster sometimes.
I miss Kutku....
Love the CC but need to take some time to look at the other config settings. Its like the other shoulder buttons are crying to be used.
Sword and shield seem really effective early game.
The new monsters are great! I love how they rotate and translate when they turn, not just spin on a point, which makes it more challenging to get that hammer smash when they turn.
The new monsters now have attacks for their left and right side to prevent you from just hanging around his back leg or neck.
I also like how the old MH players have to start from HR1 and are bouncing off of monsters. Hammers > Everything
Loving how I am learning more about the monsters every hunt. Used a frog to fish out the Gobal which made the fight infinitely easier.
Loving this game. Time sink confirmed.

I was going to pass on this as it is more geared towards online than concentrating on a single-player campaign.
But one of my friends called me yesterday telling me he picked it up and is really enjoying it so far. And said he may even get the Wii Speak (if I pick the game up as well). So going over to his house this week and trying it out. If I like it, will most likely purchase it as well.

I love my new hammer. It's like a giant bone. 
So, what are the chances of there being a G version?

Fight him in the water and its best to attack his tail (even when on land) especialy since you don't have to worry about his roll attack. That way, not only can u cut off his tail but its the best spot to avoid all of his attacks. Another ideal spot is to attack him from above while hitting his spongy mane that you can break off. Also, you can continue to attack his severed tail section of his body after its been cut off.
Fighting him on land can be tricky but only because of his deadly rolling move in my opinion. Once he gets weakened enough, he'll usually retreat to land and go to area 9 or he'll sleep in area 12.
I'd also recommend carrying some mega potions around. The only annoying thing about fighting Royal Ludroth in the water is that he likes to move around a lot.
Question: In order to try to get the King's Frill item, do you have to break Great Jaggi's face more than once ? I mean, you can break off other monsters like Royal Ludroth's spongy mane two times. I think the first time it just chips off but then the second time it breaks off.
Yeah I know, but still, he deals a lot of damage, and while underwater the monster just gets stupid and rushes all the time, and I go from full bar to dead.Lonely1 said:
BTW is there a way to just buy potions? I even forgot what to combine the herb with.
Oh, I always focused on attacking him right on his face, so I'll try that thanks.Hiltz said:
Anybody up for some hunting? I'm pretty much willing to do anything, only HR4 but a fast learner and good listener (have a keyboard).
I'll be doing some offline questing to upgrade my armor (gonna stick with this set for a while I guess) and just refreshing this thread.

blue mushroom + herb = potion
potion + honey = mega potion
kelbi horn + immunizer = ancient potion
I wouldn't try hitting his face since he likes to do his charge attack as well as his water spit attack (both on land and in water). Hitting him from the side is also dangerous since he can easily roll right over with little time to dodge it. However, you don't really have to worry about his roll attack while fighting him under water.

I think fighting him on land is way quicker and easier than underwater.Hiltz said:
- Go for his tail first.
- His rolling side attack has the biggest tell out of any monster battle in the game. He'll shake his head (kind of like a dog drying itself), roll, and then shake again. If you're attacking his tail, any dodge will go right under the attack. It's also free hits while he's doing the second shake.
- Other than that, I just stay to one side of his head and wail away at the mane until he gets all sad.

Now if anyone has Barroth tips, I'm all ears. I still can't seem to find any consistent weak spot when using a long sword. It seems pretty random if attacks on his arms or legs cause damage or bounce off.
That thing was pissing me off last night. He's not hard, but you get so pissed off spending half the time watching him hide around on the ceiling you start using dumb tactics. I went through 11 antidotes and I don't know how many varying potions just to get it over with.Pancho said:

I'm not pretending so have any idea what i'm doing, im a complete noob.
You however seem to be quite the barroth expert so any strategic help you can offer would be much appreciated.
Or you can say nothing and look forward to our heroic tales of failure in a few hours

Excellent. Spread the word to other mutes.
I've never attempted to break his frill more than once. I don't know if it's breakable more than once. But I've always had 100% success rate with breaking it and then trapping him (via the 2* trap quest) to get the kings frill.Hiltz said:
Also, I hate, hate, HATE royal ludroth's roll. I always wind up in between him and a wall when he does it. He's the only monster I continue to smack on after he dies due to the rage that has built up during the rolling fiasco...
But it doesn't autosave after shop purchases thankfully. I'm still fumbling with the A button being accept instead of cancel! I've had more than my fair share of accidental purchases...Hawkian said:

This screwed me up so much when I played Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (import) where O accepts and X cancels. In Freedom 2 (and Unite), the button roles are reversed.gotee12 said:
I think Capcom decided to preserve the accept/cancel button roles when they localized Tri.

I wasn't all that into twisting the Wii remote to the side to perform certain attacks, so I went out and bought a CC Pro this morning. I think that ultimately, fighting will end up better on the CC, but so far everything else (moving/camera, item usage, menu nav) felt a lot better in Freestyle. I'll give it a couple of days to grow on me. Even if I don't end up using it for Tri, the controller itself feels fantastic and will be worth keeping regardless.
The music for the fight in the
is amazing. Slightly disappointed that
. I guess my time in the Village is coming to an end -- which is too bad, because I really liked the place.

I'll try breaking his frill and capturing him then. Thanks for the tip.

You have to download the Wii Speak channel from the Wii shop channel . There should be some kind of code ticket written down to enter that comes with the Wii Speak box. If you don't have it, then you can e-mail Nintendo to ask for a new one.

No, really, you are from EU, right? So sorry, I'm from US. Also, I wouldn't be of so much help because I'm a gunner, and your problem is Barroth's charge, sooooo...
Just be careful durng it's rage mode, use traps, bombs, blablabla. And I already told you guys, there's a good SnS (for now, people favorite set) that can cause Paralysis, it's not rare, most likely from Gobul, the thing is, I'm not sure if you can kill it before defeating Barroth in offline missions.
Well, good luck, wish I could help you online.
Yes.Hawkian said:

Yes.
In the single player mode, Barroth becomes available to fight in the last level 3 quest. Unfortunately, you can't get to Gobul before then.

I have some Barroth advice for sword and shield users. At least this worked pretty well for me in single player. Stand directly beneath it, right between the legs and slash away. This is especially a good spot when it's flinging mud. So long as I stayed under it, none of its attacks could reach me. The problem is managing to stay there. It moves around a lot and you move when you attack. Still, when I managed to stick that location for a few moments I could swing away without worry.
Note, this is only good for killing it, not for cutting its tail or crown. It's also likely a lot harder to manage with heavier weapons since you need to be light on your feet to maneuver into the sweet spot.
