Ok good to know.
Was seeing if I could run a friend through some missions just me and him but looks like a no go.

Unless you have very weak equipment, you might be surprised what you can run through with two people.
2 or more players mean one is more likely to be in a position to hit that you arent. More monsters flinching giving you openings. Double the amount of traps or bombs you can bring. While the monster do have more health, it is not dramatically so until you get to high rank stuff. HR2 and below monsters are comparable to single player level.

I like his color, but that top horn does look a bit silly. Like you said though, fighting him in rage mode is terrifying at times.
Yeah, it really is something else. A guy I was with was using the hammer you get from his parts, and he was doing some really crazy stuff with it. I guess Slime element can be pretty OP if you know how to use it. It's making me think about going down the Dios path for the Red Wing, rather than sticking it out to continue with the Rath path.
HR3 already, can't say I miss Tri's arbitrary grind but man that went fast.
I cleared the low rank village stuff earlier today, might make myself some armor before going online again. But I'll be away for a week starting tuesday so maybe I should get as much online in as I can. It was bad enough I had to wait for the transfer tool.

Tried to join you guys. Room was full
Darn it. Hopefully I'll be back on tomorrow.
Right, but other games are giving me that hour without any sacrifices.

Oh ok I think I might give it a go then. Will definitely bring traps and bombs though.

Working on my Gobul set now. Two out of five pieces already crafted, and if I could just get a couple of his lanterns I'll be set. I haven't successfully cut one off though. I'm not really sure how to either.
It's getting harder to resist the call...
I'd love to pick up a Wii U and start playing, but I'd probably end up dropping almost $350 by the end of it all.
Didn't help that we never got the 2nd game (Dos) in English.
I imagine it really would've taken off in the States earlier, but I think the sales of MH1 put Capcom off on localizing.
Such a shame too, since it's a good game (and what Freedom 2 and Freedom Unite are based from).
Tri was a good start, but it was sorely lacking compared to Freedom Unite (well, nobody could expect it to have THAT much content, but it's still pretty bad in comparison to most of the other games).

I still hate Gigginox. Just thought I'd share that.
All you have to do is damage his lantern enough so that it breaks. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yea. But it was the same with Elder Scrolls for the first time and with the Souls games.
And then there's fighting underwater...
if you use a hammer/HH and KO him, he hangs it down right in front of his face where it's conveniently available. Their super pound hitboxes are nice for hitting the lantern underwater too. I think pitfall traps work as well.

I've been playing this way too much! Although I'm pretty miffed at the RNG drop gods right now. I need 4 Rathian Spikes and I've take down Rathian some 16 times *since seeing I needed 4 for a switch axe* -- I already had 1, but I've only gotten 1 more. I'm determined to get them though, dangit!
Cap it. You will have a better chance in the rewards.

So, i just downed the Royal Ludroth with relative ease and I just got the Barroth quest. Anything I should know/do before I jump into it?

Wroggi armor helped me a lot this go around.

I'll second this. I was half totally grossed out by Gigginox, and half laughing at Cha-Cha getting poisoned every 2 seconds, while I was totally fine.
Gotta get those resources though.
Speaking of money, do you guys sell your wyverngold, metal eggs, and other valuable things right away? I usually keep them in reserve and sell them when I feel I need to.
Just for a little while!

Any recommended armor set for dual blades? For early/mid game. I'm currently rocking Barroth still.
Wroggi armor helps mitigate the sharpness issues you'll have early on and makes you look like a cowboy.

48 minute hunt! Picked [Canteen] Forecast: Lagombi from the solo menu in the second village. I took in some Jaggi dual blades with only a sliver of green for sharpness. Such a horrible mistake. It was a grudge match too because last time I tried, I forgot wet stones and i ran out of battery.
Did I just gear wrong for this fight or are those quests just 4x harder?

Looks like I need to get that Calamity Sword and the long sword from the R.Ludroth mats.
I need to make a set of this armor. Which weapons lose sharpness faster? Long Sword or Great Sword?
That's for online, multiple people stuff.

A friend explained to me that I can keep my lagombi weapons and just upgrade them into something beastly but with my armor I should get new sets forged
So since this is my first MH, im kind of "stuck"
I have the whole jaggi set of armor which took a while. Should I slowly go through the monsters as an upgrade guide? Like bears was the next big monster so should that be what I build a set from, then quropeco, then woggi (i think thats what they were called) or should I pick something specifically higher?
I've killed up to a gobul but online with people so i'm not sure where to go
should I just finish the SP campaign before I do any more online?

Haha, good call -- I'm an idiot. Plans fell through, so I'm fixing to hop on for a good chunk tonight. Keep an eye out for a guy named Davanthom if any of you guys are out there.

I've finally tried the Wii U and 3DS demos, and I have a few questions about the former since it looks like I'm picking it up (first):
- Are there any button presses that would spare me using the virtual button and start for "special attacks"? (which is different than R and A+X attacks, right?)
- I thought the lower framerate was worth the compromise in favor of the controller and hi-def res. But is are demo levels indicative of the full product or does the framerate dip and fluctuate even worse in other levels?
- For the life of me I don't understand how they'd release this game without mapping anything to the bumpers. Will the patch rectify that? And speaking of which, what will the patch introduce other than off-TV play?
You're undergeared to try that fight solo.

Cool. Don't have tons of sharpness issues as I'm using whatever the Lagombi blades are and they last a decent bit at green. Ready to make some new weapons though.
