Yeah, I get ya. I actually have a hammer I use in some fights if we need the extra impact damage. And also because bashing things with a likeness of Rathalos' head is amusing.
KOing with a Bow is hilarious. You can keep some monster in a loop of death as spicy rocks rain down on them. Got my Rathalos kill down to about 8 mins
We were doing that same Qurupeco quest, saw him tilt to the the side for his call and I'm like' uh oh...' *throws sonic bomb, misses* and he lets out this huge Rathian roar. Me and the bf are wailing away with our weapons and I see it lower down behind him 'uh... turn around!' He's like "Oh, shit!". Haha. Yet to fight one, farming Barroth for a while then will move on.Us 3DS owners are kind of forced to.
I've finally gotten past the hump; I now am 100 percent on board with Mon Hun. I just scraped through the "capture a Qurupeco" 3-star quest, and it was a goddamned amazing experience solo. I left Cha Cha at home since he screwed up my last capture attempt on a Great Jaggi by killing him off, so I had to slug it out with a Qurupeco solo. And when you are slashing like mad only to see a Great Jaggi bust onto the scene from the corner of your eye, and then fall back for a split second only to see the weird ecosystem of G. Jaggi and smaller Jaggis band together to try to wrangle with a Qurupeco - all while you're sharpening like mad and readying a shock trap - it is freaking magical.
A word of advice: Once upgraded, most sets offer pretty much the same protection. The main reasons for farming different sets are the skills and elemental resistances. So I'd suggest you only grind sets you really want, or you might burn out quickly. Also, keep in mind that your sets become useless once you advance in rank, as they can't be upgraded to a higher rank - even entry level high rank armor easily beats fully upgraded low rank armor. I went Leather -> Wroggi -> Wroggi S, and probably won't farm another set until G rank.
I haven't started playing online and only have access to 3-star quests, but when I was fighting Great Jaggis I would run around them and between them as long as I could find a way out. Doing this would get the Great Jaggis to attack each other and their minions (not on purpose, they'd just happen to be in the way). It didn't happen often, but the Great Jaggis would sometimes kill off the little guys for me, which is awesome because I get resources even if I don't kill them myself and now I have 1 less thing to worry about when I charge my bow.Real talk: how viable is it having different monsters goad into fighting/attacking each other? Do they actually do proper damage or is it negligible? Had Crimson Qurupeco summon Joe and enjoyed running around to get Joe to hit Peco a couple times.
Concerning the ongoing LS vs Hammer debate, as someone who's switched to Gunlance for Ultimate: fuck em both and their spirit combo/upswing bullshit.
Yes, they're quite a bit worse. You only need to beat Rathalos and Barioth though, Diablos is optional.
I had no troubles with Plestioth, probably because I killed him many times in the demo. Pink Rathian on the other hand completely destroyed me at first.
Thanks! I'll check it out.
Moga Woods at Night is the deadliest fucking place in the MonHun universe.Should be a meme at this point:
Wouldn't surprise me if he saw this too.
Only those who got to High Rank Village quests will understand.
My problem is that I fished him out and he destroyed me with his tail spin. I had no problems with him in the water my second go.
It's a joke, so many HR monsters appear in Moga Woods as soon as you defeat them in the village. Even those that are usually native to other lands and really have no business being there. >_>
