They usually contain multiples of the same monster or various monsters to make farming for parts easier because of the reduced health per monster. This comes at the cost of advanced quests showing up randomly so you can't farm the same thing 24/7, although that can be fixed by asking other people to put up the quest if they have it.
Yes, that mission i s a very good introduction. Feel free to ask any questions you have about what to do or how things work in the game.
I just realised that with off-tv play I'll finally get a weekend of online play.
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss
I think it depends on how important online multiplayer is to you in any game. If you don't mind playing solo, this thing won't disappoint.

I have reached 110hrs playing this. It's been about 105hrs offline, so I can confidently say this thing is good enough offline.

I'm approaching the point where I'll need to sell some shit. I'm halfway through the final page of my items box, but I believe that I've killed one of everything except Alatreon and A.Lagi now so my monster part list won't get much bigger. It sucks that decorations take up space in that box, since I experiment with armor a lot they are almost a page by themselves.
Tigrex has already been revamped for 3rd gen, but I'm glad he's sitting this one out. He...fell on hard times in P3rd. I hope when he comes back in MH4 he's been un-nerfed and can put the fear of god back into some newbies.
There are people who only play this for the multiplayer, but I'm not one of them. I like solo just as much, it's a different experience. I cleared all the singleplayer stuff before I did much with online and it took me ~80 hours as a veteran of the series. So even if you stop there and never tackle the port quests (multiplayer content, but soloable) the game has tons of content. And if you're good at soloing you'll be ready for MH4 which will have online on 3DS.
Except DS hits will knock you off balance for a fraction of the time that an upswing would. And why would you be attempting to drink a potion in the vicinity of the monster, near the people also trying to attack it? does not compute.

I noticed yesterday that I'm almost at 100 hours of this beautiful game.
I can't remember the last time where I played a game for over a hundred hours.
This game is SO DAMN FUN!

he didn't say he was being stopped from using the potion, but rather he couldn't get away from the monster in order to do so thanks to DS stunlock.
solution: stygian tristitia knockback prevention!
I wonder if Rock Steady prevents that kind of shit too. I haven't had a chance to use my new GS set in multiplayer yet.

Alright, got it.
Got a banhbara (or however it's spelt) S for the great sword build, but I'm not too sure if that's the right choice or not. Quick sheath is probably useful though.
I do look classy though, so there's that.

Made the Barioth X set just cause it looks cool:
That reminds me so much of the Izanagi persona the MC starts the game with in P4G (except being a white color of course). Very cool looking.

How do you access the secret place at misty peaks?
Explorer or dumb luck.
Dumb luck occurs randomly with any and all food combination; I'd still suggest avoiding strawberry-anchovy pizza.
What food do I eat to get the Dumb Luck skill?
you don't access, you can just randomly spawn there via luck or use felyn explorer skill to have a greater chance.

What food combinations to use to achieve this?
Present. Won't be online for another cple of hours though because of work and all that.I still need a Jhen DLC run or two later tonight if anyone is interested. Somehow managed to do one yesterday and not get a single allbrace

3DS without online and it's still a blast after 70 odd hours.

I'll be on around 10 PM to lend a hand.
Yeah, those Allbrace drop rates are kinda messed up, especially as its Rare 8.

Is there a list available of all the awards and how to get them yet?
130 ish hours now and I have not touched online. I have gone into Offline Tanzia but no co-op at all yet. Plenty of content to keep you going, as long as you're focused on getting better gear and trying out the weapons.
I really need to do that. Still not fully upgraded my stuff but its scary to go out at night. QuroPeco mostly comes out at night...mostly.
Last night I knew it was time to go to bed when I was the lone hunter going after a freakishly tiny deviljho and everyone else was more interested in chasing down a half-dead jade barroth. If only I had had a few more minutes, that would have been a gold mini-crown, ugh ugh ugh.

I could probably google this but I'd like to hear from you guys: what's the best way to get a barroth's tail? I also need something from his head. I'm still such a newbie.
While I'm asking...maybe someone would be interested in helping me gather this stuff online sometime? :-D

Use a long sword, switchaxe, or a great sword, it will be easier to cut its tail with those weapons.
i know a list in german ... if there's nothing, maybe i can translate it later.

Yea, dual swords are easier when the tails are at a lower height. Barroth's tail is too high, but like Ridley said above, you can use shock traps to lower the tail.
Could always get a new great sword? Dios weapons are kinda boring looking (Although OP), but there are some really nice great swords.I wonder if I should switch weapons up. I'm kinda tired of using the greatsword... It's been fun, but I haven't got a new weapon in a while and the Dios Blade doesn't look as cool anymore
Everything I can make is weaker than the Dios blade, I wonder if I should go back to upgrading the Lagia one, I need 3 horns for the high lagia blade...
Any cutting weapon will work if you always target the same leg when it's upright and always go for the tail when it falls over, assuming you're soloing. If you have a tendency to miss the leg or tail, you might kill it before the tail comes off, though.
If you're in a group, all bets are pretty much off.
Great hunt sessions with Neo_C,Meruvis and Zepelli!This rust Duramboros got his tip well served,taking a sweet sun bath in the pitfall trap.
On an unrelated note,I've bought a lan adapter and(for the moment)the various disconnections I used to get are gone(via wi-fi)!
That's a huge relief to play without the "fear" of being disconnected at any moment in a party.I'll be online more often from now.

.You should have told us. A simple chat of "kill jho" would have sufficed.

Oh yeah I had so much fun yesterday. I think I did about 10 quests with the same team.
Dual Jho Arena is incredibly hard and Dual Zinogre Arena can be a pain too.
I have to try Los/Ian SS Arena again, no Smoke Bomb trick this time!

Yeah, I was tired enough to think it was obvious. Also, didn't want to have to leave the area to type it out since it was so small that I pretty much had an infinite combo going on it.
Also, I wasn't trying to call out anyone on gaf when I mentioned it.
lol, and I was tired enough where I just wanted to end the quest so I could go to bed. heh, no worries, we'll get him next time.
No other weapon is gonna have higher raw than any great sword though, since they do the most damage. Horns aren't too hard to get, just hunt the Lagi in the village quests and make sure to break his head, shouldn't be too hard with a great sword. The horns drop pretty frequently I find.

Is this game reason enough to get the Wii U when so little other Wii U games are out at this time?
I have a 3DS, and I played the demo, and it was so-so, but I really would love to play online with others. My only reserve is buying the Wii U Deluxe set and the game for ~$420 and then not feeling like the game or system will carry that long. :/
I have also played Freedom Unite on the PSP back in the day, and I enjoyed it to a certain extent. I also only played that game by myself, so I am just really wondering - does the online make it worth it?

Just keep reminding yourself of that Goldbeard fight, then tell me again you hate fighting Lagi
Yes. You don't need to buy a deluxe if you don't want to. I bought a basic Wii U set just for this game, and it's the only game I have on the WiiU and even plan to have for a long while. And it was worth it.brettchalupa said:

Okay, that is great to hear. I would like to get the deluxe for the bigger hard drive built in and the little extras it comes with. Is there enough of a lower-level GAF community to go on hunts with?
True, it does come with some good extras. I went with the basic because I prefer the white to black but at the end of the day you can hook up an external drive anyway. There's definitely a wide range of levels around here. There are also people just grabbing the game recently so you'll have people to play withOkay, that is great to hear.
