Met my first Duramboros, my first thoughts when he started spinning were HOLY SHIT IS THIS FOR REAL. Needless to say I lost it when he

Spoiler

used his tail to literally propulse himself into the air

Such an epic fight too, down to the last potion and the last minute, Just as I was preparing to see the quest failed message for the first time, there's a final opening after one of his attacks and I start smashing his face. I had broken his horns and tail before so I would've been disappointed if I had to restart.

This feeling of satisfaction though, so awesome. This game is fucking great!

CHICKEN MAN!

I feel like I belong in Gatchaman. Which is ironic, considering the Japanese marketing.

 

[traveler]

Duramboros is my favorite fight thus far as well.

I'm about 40 hours in, working on HR3, and I'm finally going to have to replace my Barroth set to continue. This is my first MH and I completely understand the popularity now. Such a fantastic game.

Qurupeco is the biggest asshole. I hate his missions, I have no idea how I will manage the capture one. I really suck at telling if monsters are hurt and he won't stop calling for reinforcements. I need a bigger sword to stab it in the face with.

You can break it's face, but it's not optimal for the most amount of damage. You want to hit the belly/throat. Breaking the face is fairly difficult, but will net you more rewards if you pull it off.

As for telling if it's injured, if it's limping it's injured enough to capture and close to death. If not, keep going.

I swear I've killed it when it wasn't limping, but I might be crazy.

Hmm I just wait for monsters to start limping away to another zone before setting up a trap. So far it has worked well most of the time. Peco was annoying early as it used to take a lot of time for me to down him. From what I understand, you need to focus on his front area as his wings and tail are pretty resistant. Try interrupting him when he calls for help, and if you can't use dung bombs to repel the big monsters he calls up.

Yup my feelings exactly.

You might have just not noticed. The limping isn't super noticeable until the monster flees to another area. I've had times I've missed it as well.

Will that hit the western version soon as well? Hopefully. Dear god I want that feature so bad right now.

I've never had a problem defeating him, (I'm still only 3 star missions and HR1 too) but I use a sharp hammer that really deals damage to his face. Giant blade should be good too.

He has a charge forward attack that's impossible to tell, but if he taps his front wings together, DODGE!

His front beak and chirp sack are his biggest weaknesses try to focus on them, but learn his tells because most of his attacks come from the front.

TIP: Try to focus the fight on him until he runs away. Then focus on his buddy so they won't return. I once killed two Great Jaggis before running into Qurupeco. When he chirped for help, none came cuz they were already dead. XD

Currently fighting the Royal Ludroth, but didn't bring enough potions. he's surprisingly easier in the water than on land.

I have his basic patterns down, just the damn friends he summons are the worst. I always seem to get stuck in the middle of a group, unable to move around.

Bring Dung Bombs to scare away the monsters that Qurupeco summons

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Can someone help me farm diablos +?

I decided that is my next armor.

 

[Ridley327]

Took a day off, but now I'm back in. I hit HR4 today with ease.

Zinogre is a very angry kitty.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Personally, I find Qurupeco's "leap forward, smash wings together" attack really easy to dodge, since I learned how to do so in Unite. All you have to do is walk around him, while turning the camera towards him. This video here has an example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAzAgiAUT8s#t=117s

I stay a little bit closer, so I can take advantage right after he does it.

 

[Ridley327]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Where is the US version patch!

I imagine that it's being held up by the region-free* play part of the patch.

 

[Alcotholic]

Rusted Shards are EXTREMELY easy to get in high rank. It's fairly disappointing.

 

[Mzo]

Gots me a Barroth ribsword. Beat the flavor into my enemies! Though that -30 Affinity could be problematic if it goes all X-Com on me.

But then, it IS a ribsword...

Affinity doesn't matter nearly as much if you're using Critical Draw.

 

[Alcotholic]

Bring Dung Bombs to scare away the monsters that Qurupeco summons

I find that throwing those at the Qurupeco is quicker, as other monsters tend to hang around for a bit, he immediately takes off.

 

[HitokiriNate85]

All right, just made it to the five-star solo quests and took down Lagiacrus. It gets pretty beastly when it's pissed.

I think I'm ready I hop online tomorrow, finally. Could anyone give me the gist of how online play works in terms of quest selection? Is the person who invited/created the room the host?

Are there online-only quests? Are the non-large monster quests available for multi?

Does the Wii U have online chat through the game pad microphone? I don't have any USB headsets.

I added my NNID to the OP today, but if anyone is looking for more MH players to add to their friends list, my ID is NonDairyHen.

Lastly and not exactly online-related, but what's the difficulty scale like over the entire game? Fights are pretty tough but I've still managed to beat everything except Qurupeco on my first try. Kinda looking forward to getting my ass kicked a bit.

 

[The Technomancer]

I have his basic patterns down, just the damn friends he summons are the worst. I always seem to get stuck in the middle of a group, unable to move around.

The biggest proglem I have with his first mission is that he summons Great Jaggi and then the Great Jaggi summons his own army of Jaggis, and it makes it almost impossible to use a whetstone or drink a potion safely.

 

[gfdoom]

yes you can chat straight thru the gamepad, no headphones need and it works really well!

 

[Ace Harding]

God this game is so good. One of the most addictive damn games I have played in a long time. Finished my Jaggi set (upgraded to level 3) and got the Jaggi Shotels+1 on a long train ride today. I do need to try another weapon. I've dabbled with other stuff but I feel like I've really got the timing down with the dual blades. Might try using a hammer on the next couple quests.

I just noticed on some 3-star quests there's an icon next to the monster icon that says "danger!" - what does that mean?

 

[HitokiriNate85]

Awesome! I hope using the game pad instead of the pro controller doesn't feel too awkward.

 

[Madouu]

If you find it really too hard to use a whetstone or a potion, you can go to another zone to do this stuff and then come back to where Peco/G.Jaggi are to resume your hunting.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Gah, two Wroggi Scales and a Killer Beetle away from having a compete set... Will have to finish the set tomorrow.

Oh well, one more night I can stay as CHICKEN MAN!

 

[H3rTz DoNuT]

That there is another big monster on the quest, at least that what I think

Huh, I always just rolled under his feet as he jumps forward and walked away.

 

[Eusis]

Did Bioshock and/or the maintenance deflate the immediate interest in playing, or did everyone go elsewhere? I'm going to give Bioshock a spin but I'd actually like some more Monster Hunter.

 

[SupaNaab]

So I think I found the quickest way to check your Charm Table if the japanese site is down. You goto multiplayer mode and take the quest for the Ice area. Then you need to go mine, Im finding only blue rocks have charms in them. Anyways I've confirmed Im not on a cursed table with Athena's Charm tool. I think I may have accidently sold a charm I received and that plain sucks -.-

You gotta mine multiple times cause these are low level charms and they're pretty common on most tables.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Just realized I can grind more Wroggis on the way to work tomorrow. :O

This might be GOTY. The two versions combined are just too good.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

This game is probably the luckiest I have ever been in the series. Been getting Los Plates, Rubies, Lagia Spheres, Deviljho Gems, etc so easily. And I'm not even farming them.

 

[Kyzon]

me, i just got kicked out of a game .. i was helping 3 gaffers ;/

Was that you in the Kyzgaf room?

 

[ramyeon]

Jesus how much health does this royal Ludroth have!?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Jesus how much health does this royal Ludroth have!?

Not enough!

(Cha-Cha accidentally killed it earlier tonight when I was trying to cap it. >_<)

 

[sssstententen]

Just got to HR3. Went from tanking any hit to dying in 2 with my Barroth armor, and I don't want to waste my adv armor pieces.

Whats a good GS armor I can access that wouldnt be a complete waste of time to grind? I'll also take lance recommendations!

 

[ramyeon]

(Cha-Cha accidentally killed it earlier tonight when I was trying to cap it. >_<)

That was by far the hardest kill yet. He just kept going and running around like a chicken with its head cut off! Finally took him down after fainting twice :/

Do the dual Wroggi quest that's in HR3. Farm them until you can make Wroggi S. You have 6 slots + a talisman slot to mess around with, so if you don't need Speed Sharpening then put in another skill to your liking:

 

[ramyeon]

So I'm at the point where I just killed the royal Ludroth, and can still only forge 2 switch axes (bone and wild) do I need to do something to open up more options or just not yet? Considering how long my fight with R.ludroth was I feel a bit underpowered.

upgrade the ones you have. Wild Axe goes into a R. Ludroth with water damage, Bone Axe->Bone Axe+>Peccospander is a good way to get a decent amount of green sharpness.

This. Playing on the daily commute makes me hard, knowing I can come home and transfer to Wii U. I'm in MH heaven.

 

[Infinite]

What skills does Wroggi S have

 

[Ken]

What skills does Wroggi S have

Shakalaka Rally, speed eating, razor sharp, negate poison, defense down.

S armor = high rank.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

How do you get S armor? Upgrade?

It's just the High Rank version of the armor.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Did they axe the subquests in this game?

It's just the High Rank version of the armor.

When do you unlock high rank?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I am lost on how to set my control and screen (map + life bar + items) back to default

I choose Wii U setting at the start but I want to play how I had it in the demo

guide?
