That sucks. I'd rather just skip on the armor than reset though, honestly now.
Maybe it's just me then. I've finished the Deviljho quest and the past 6 days that I can recall are all Qurupeco/Crimson (the next 2 days are one Arzuros and then Arzuros/Volvi). It's completely useless.
I consider Lagi's armors the most difficult to make. They need a ton of rare staff and the underwater battles are just super annoying. I don't even know why I made some of them. I remember searchin for Duramboros horns+, mantles,plates and I think gold ceadeus fur for the G Ivory lagi.
I remember hunting for Lagi Horn+ and getting sapphires and plates out the wazoo and no horns. I was frustrated and happy at the same time.
Didn't help that I hate fighting Lagiacrus. His gear looks so good though :/

So there really are no waist components to the Plesioth armors?
There isn't.
The general idea with slime is that each hit builds up some slime effect on the monster, a bit like how hitting it with enough poison effect will cause it to become poisoned for awhile. The difference is that with slime, enough of the effect causes an explosion similar to a large barrel bomb. It works best when applied quickly and is well-suited for breaking parts. But I believe monsters also develop resistance to it each time it's applied, like other status effects.
I'm curious about this myself. I don't have a lot of first-hand experience with slime since the guns aren't very good at it.
I wound up doing all the low rank Village quests and nearly all of the high rank ones before ever going online, but I didn't have any previous Monster Hunter experience and needed all the practice I could get. So it was a good strategy for me, at any rate.

It's weird in the last 2 weeks I have street passed 8 MH players, and I'm in Chile lol
Slime will explode quite a bit, more than other status it seems
It's a better idea to pay attention to when it's about to blow than how much. It goes green then yellow then red then kaboom. When it's about to blow Start attacking a part that you want staggered like the legs or a part you want broken

Any advice for someone who just made it to single player high rank (what's a good weapon / armor to farm for first)? I was only able to kill the high rank Purple Ludroth and Rathian by the skin of my teeth.. on top of that each fight took close to half an hour - not very efficient for farming!

Oh man, the fully upgraded worn hammer is so sick looking. Its like a grinning demon face made of wrought iron.
I actually did. Walked past numerous points which were on Ninty's site and got nothing.
Jaggi ftw

No GAF meet up this week right? I'll be on Final Fantasy 14 if not.
Going to second this, jaggi armor and maybe some brachy weapons will get you through high rank easy!

Evade Extender is so good on Switch Axe. My biggest annoyance was the crappy sidestep, but EE fixes that. <3
We should meet up and StreetPass. :33333

I'll need that lol.
Lol won't be much use Streetpassing XD, luckily MH4 is online, so wait till that lmao. Unless you get a Wii U before than.
All I know is I need to play online with Festwill and Tuffy slightly more to get that VE Platinum ticket =D
Avoiding me. ;;
This reminds me! Who else is getting MH4? I'm going to need people I understand to play with me
That should work just fine. I can't think of any instances where a monster is weak to some element but its armor isn't, or the other way around. The two should always correlate according to the game's logic.
I'm waiting for the localization, which hopefully won't take too long.
Great, since i don't have much in terms of variety as far as elemental weapons go, i try to make the most of the ones i do have by looking at the matching armor.
At least it's not Clashing Fists.

Possibly, though I never really touch the tablet controller - only use the Classic Controller.
But it works now after a few reboots and leaving the game off for awhile!
Quite weird.
I got G rank people to help me >_>
I'm not happy to even acknowledge that one's existence.
I have nobody. I'm solo on 3DS, so I'm stumped.
I recommend the Evade Extender skill to help get you out of Brachy's blast zones. Shock and pitfall traps are other obvious tactics to slow him down for free attacks. And finally, just keep shooting him in the face or tail base whenever he's not pointing at you or getting ready to lunge.

There's no shame in leaving the area when Brachydios is charged up. Just leave for a little bit and engage him back again when he's calmed down.

If that weapon doesn't work use a weapon that can block the explosives, make sure you get some fire resistance as well.
Yep. And try to bring the Cha-cha and Kayamba if soloing, so Brachy doesn't focuses all attack on you only.
Gotta say Brachy is like the wake up call to Hunters lol, first time you take him on is like a warning not to be complacent.
Oh and if peeps haven't booked mark this page, monster's weakness etc:

Edit: OTT of MH4 let's hope it's cross-region servers again for Eu/NA players, would hate to lose the awesome NA hunters I've played in this OT.

Just telling him, so that he upgrades his water element weapons lol. But you've gotta admire his spirit for persevering this long solo, Monster Hunter really becomes addicting like crazy with other players, as long as you can meet long enough.
