Get Joe to limp on your first quest with him appearing?
Don't worry about acceptable armour, anything that allows you to complete quests without fainting (too much) is fine. You could go out there naked if you're skilled enough to dodge everything.
He hits like a brick, is surprisingly agile for his size, has insatiable hunger (which can be used against him, of course), and he's also one of the first monsters you encounter with dragon element attacks, at a point where most armours are still pretty weak against dragon. Movement-wise, there's also no other monster quite like him, with his combination of bites, leaps, stomps, sweeping breath attacks and fierce rage mode.
That's equivalent to HR5, the end of High Rank.

I'd say comparing his stats and attacks objectively, he is quite a formidable foe at that point in the game. There's a reason the quest to hunt him only appears at the very end of High Rank.
Excellent, thanks a lot. Should I get the village request needed for it as soon as I enter 7*? All I have left to do is the 6* urgent.
You can't jump down a large ledge (like from Volcano zone 10 to 5), stagger from an attack, roll or let your stamina run out while carrying a large egg/powderstone.
You have literally only killed the first of over 50 monsters in the game so far.
Exactly my thoughts.
Sounds even better. I've just been playing the canteen one with others online since its so much fun. Tad on the easy side though indeed.
Generally speaking, the final third of the game is online only. First there's Low Rank, then High Rank and finally G-Rank (which is only available in Port Tanzia, the multi-mode). That said, there's very few monsters you'll miss if you're "only" doing the offline village quests. Most of the G-Rank are remixes of existing quests, with monsters appearing in different combinations or unfamiliar environments and stuff like that. That said, you can potentially solo all Port Tanzia quests, but since all the monsters there are balanced for four players, it'll be pretty damn tough.
Now that, I actually did not know.Except it isn't locked to online.
Tanzia has a Solo mode also. That isn't required to go Online. That is also balanced for one player HP wise, damage is the same.
It isn't locked to online. Talk to Neko (Means "Cat") which is the cat that is on top of a barrel. Say you want to go to Port Tanzia. You can choose Solo.
Plenty of hours to go before you get to that point.Alright, awesome then. Though I assume that it would be balls hard and near impossible to solo?
Edit: saw your edit.
I can see this game lasting me a long ass time on the 3ds.
Looking forward to 4 so I can finally experience multiplayer.
I edited! You guys really need to learn to give my posts some time to breathe...
or I should be better at formulating what I really want to say in the first version. >_>
Now that, I actually did not know.
Very cool and makes soloing even G-rank quests a distinct possibility.
But man, Antiwhippy, if you're just starting out and beating Great Jaggis, don't even worry about that for now.

Your best bet for these kind of quests is to forge a Loc Lac armour set to have the Pro Transporter skill and drink a Dash Juice so your stamina doesn't run out.

In Dark Souls terms, you have just woken up in the cell, and defeated the two undead standing around in the first hallway.
