I recommend the Wroggi armor (cowboy). It was very useful for me. (I use long sword btw)

Man, I am not a fan of this Kayamba guy. He leaves masks all over my bedroom. Cha-cha is a much neater roommate.

Guess I'm gonna try and upgrade my Demolition Axe, though it's not much of an upgrade (like +50 more attack and a little bit more Purple Sharpness with Sharpness +1).
Also managed to carve a Lagia Pallium from the I.Lagi/Gobul quest earlier today. Then I guess I got d/c'd or something, and I couldn't abandon the quest (Pallium!), and dying wasn't that great of an option. So I wrecked me a G-Rank Gobul solo.
Towards the end, I was gonna trap him, but some friggin' Ludroth hit me after I laid my Shock Trap, then Gobul hit me and stunned me. Of course, he hit the trap and I couldn't do shit. :|
Still managed to kill him though. Good thing it didn't take too long.
On the plus side, I can finally get my Ceadeed Axe with its wicked 1242 Attack and quite a bit of Purple Sharpness (w/Sharpness +1).
Yeah...I hate hammer users this time around. Get sent flying EVERY time there's one around.
Really annoying.

Fighting Jhen in single player is relaxing to me. There's no real threat of dying, and he's not very threatening, it's just a slow 30 minute fight, you kill stuff very methodically.
Are you sure you didn't just repel him?

I killed Ceadeus and Jhen on my first try offline. I don't repel, I slaughter!
Edit: How do you skip the "kill" cinematic cutscene on the 3DS? My wife says it's not the start button.
With the Kick/special attack button on the touch screen, it actually changes to "SKIP" when you can skip something.
The "Kick" button turns into the Skip button. It is above the virtual D-Pad with the default touchscreen settings.
EDIT: Beaten.

I suppose I should put that button back on her screen, then!
It's always there on the top right corner IIRC. Haven't touched the game in a few days though.

Like someone else said you should probably look up armor skills - combining Armor into proper sets will activate certain skills that will help you a lot.
eg. Wroggi set has negate poison which is super handy... Rhenoplos has a Knockout skill along with Negate Mud/Snow (useful for fighting Barroth/Barioth etc to avoid snowman/mudball status). The armors have stuff like Windproofing, Current Resistance, Attack Ups, etc.

...You're right. Though the Ludroth armor I'm wearing is pretty good skillwise.
Yeah, you can't remove it, it's always in the corner, you can put a bigger one if you want, but the small one is always there.

Want to share? I like playing GS in between my lance runs, and this sounds like a very nice set.
Um, G-Rank Diablos? HR7 I think.

Faced Brachy for the first time tonight, so sugoi. (Sugoi means "格好いい")
格好いい means cool.
i'm just starting the rank 3 quests offline
completed the first "set" of 1 star and 2 star, picked up 2 more 2 star quests and starting the 3 star quests
got a full set of jaggi armor for a dual blades user, i am using jaggi shotel's currently. i got rid of all my other weapon
had trouble with the capture the honeybadger dude due to forgetting to tranq him after trapping
getting back into the mode of fighting monster hunter style and doing decently
i do not think i have "died" once but i only have ~12hrs into the game so far- so i expect that to change.
however so far i have not found a monster i cannot beat-
i got the trap on the honeybadger and finished the quest in like 5 minutes.

I don't think you can, but try opening up the menu to see if it can be activated there (like the Shakalaka signals.)
is that the mask that throws explosive barrels everywhere, knocking you away?
"here comes my level 3 charged gs attack"
*gets hit by explosion*

Not sure if this has been answered but going into a battle with a monster weak to fire, would it be better if I go in with
1. a weapon that has ice BUT has atk of 912 or
2. weapon has fire but has atk of only 620.
Guess the question is, does the number represent raw power and in this scenario, better to go with the ice weapon?

Depends on how much fire atk it has.
That's affinity correct? It has 0. ice has 15% which doesn't matter in a fire fight right?
They grow up so fast.
How much raw and fire attack does one weapon have and how much raw and ice attack does the other have. Although without knowing Ultimate's damage formula it might be hard to tell.

Duramboros armor looks bad ass, just crafted a set. Just make sure to mine the tail once you first break it and then carve the drop. Took me four fights to get the tail bone required for the waist piece buuuuuuut I didn't know what I was doing the first two fights and was trying to cut his tail off with sword and shield, then longsword.
Affinity is the percentage chance of an attack doing 25% more damage, that isn't the elemental attack.
When you check your equipment or status, it should say Element and then FI which indicates it has a fire elemental attack. The number beside that is what the elemental attack is.
Oh duh, just saw where it says the fire atk number..100.
1. 620 raw fire@100
2. 912 raw, ice@210
Is it the same type of weapon? If it is, then I would go for the ice weapon.
Thanks guys. one is a longsword, the other a great sword. I'm indifferent to using either.
Awesome, thanks again! will go with the gs!

Just hit HR4, ended up capturing Bracy twice for someone else in the group. Question: do slime weapons automatically do more damage than elemental weapons (assuming you're using the correct one for a given monster's weakness)? After two runs I have enough mats to make the dual swords.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Greatswords are built towards having high raw damage, not so much elemental damage. Element matters more for longswords.
Just a guess but I think damage-wise fast elemental weapons will deal more damage over time than a slime weapon that's only proccing the explosion every x+n amount of hits. On the other hand slime explosions are nice for breaking parts and stagger, and generally work well against any monster.
Well I'm assuming the fire weapon is the long sword, in which case I would go for that. You will get a lot more attacks in with that so it should make up for the lack of higher raw damage.

So HR monsters have higher HP?
HR rathain took foreeeeeever.
Long swords are super fun though.

Even against Bracy himself? My other weapons are waaaay lower damage if you count the slime, but without the slime I'd be better off using them.
You'll see them at the blacksmith as you kill HR monsters. HR monsters have different loot tables too.
