best thing about fighting in archdemon mode as opposed to demonized / demon dance is that you can cancel into demon dash a lot quicker and easier, rather than getting stuck in a long combo.
Marathon Runner is a great skill to have though if you use a lot of demon mode, it makes a HUGE difference.
My current setup is all G.beard ceadeus armor except Ludroth Torso and I can get +1 sharpness, Marathon Runner, +1 Water attack, and Earplugs
with a decent amount of open sockets

Haha, I was thinking the same.
Well... Only if you want a good time instead of a good clear time... Or multiplayer I guess

I only played this again a couple of weeks ago, but I finally made a full upgrade of my slime SA and DB.
I'm quite pleased.

I hate Gobuls. :-!
Well yeah para isn't really good in single player. After a while it becomes really easy to paralyze them while in pitfalls, one time a hammer managed to pull of a knockout in the pitfall right afterwards, that was fun.

Yep still hate gobuls. Funk those things.

Go fishing with a frog in the one area. He'll bite on it and you can start the battle on land, which makes the whole fight a lot easier even if he runs to water later
For whatever reason they decided to spawn him on land in G rank (maybe high rank too?) making the frog trick completely irrelevant
The bow is the weapon I had the hardest time learning and gave up pretty fast. There's so much importance on discerning the distance between you and the monster, it's impossible for me.
Also needing pretty much specialized armor that can't be used with any other weapon, in parts or whole. I'd say almost every other weapon is more newcomer friendly.
I never could get the hang of the bow and its charge levels whereas bowgunning came a lot more naturally. Light bowgunning in particular has a nice balance of mobility and firepower once you start taking advantage of its rapid-fire ability.
I love the bow! The kelbi bow out damaging every other bow almost killed it for me. But it's still fun to play when not mashing X. For your skills go for focus first and then normal/pierce/scatter up second and then try to gem on whatever else. You also need to mind your range as you get the most damage standing a certain distance away and it's actually closer than you might think. And finally if your bow can't use power coating it isn't worth using.
by kelbi bow, you mean kelbi slingshot right ?

Yes it's called Kelbi Stingshot → Kelbi Strongshot → Great Kelbi Deershot and looks like this:
There's no other bow (or even weapon) with Kelbi in the name or requiring Kelbi Horns / Blue Kelbi Horns, it's just a shorter nickname.

Kinda surprised how functional the virtual D-pad on the touch screen is once you move it all the way to the bottom right and re-size it. They give you a lot of options for the interface. Very solid effort there. It could be all those months of dedicated iOS gaming that have made it easier for me to maneuver, but it's working out nicely so far on 3DS without a CPP.

Yeah, the few times that I need manual control I've found it more then meets my needs, I have it down on the far-right corner so I can mash at it with the thumb on the buttons
Eventually give the Heavy Bowgun a chance. I never EVER tried it due to the fact it makes you slow, but I forged the Virnar HBG (Nargacuga) with some Rathalos armor and Normal Up. With Siege mode you can go to town on rathians and rathalos and shoot them out of the sky all day, so satisfying.
Also, played like 6 hours of MH3G with my cousin today, its finally clicking with him, why it so fun, so satisfying and so addictive

After many months and about 100 Volcano runs, I finally tracked down the God's Isle while mining Meldspar to max out yet another armor set. Upgrading it to the God's Archipelago, installing a silencer and removing the limiter (pretty much obligatory) makes it work really well with that Uragaan Z set I threw together a few days ago. Artillery Expert, Knockout King and Recoil Down are perfect for exploding things.

There's a downloadable app for Windows entirely in English called Athena's Fish Finder. I believe it also comes with a FAQ in the Help menu.
Sometimes it starts happening and doesn't stop, usually if I go out of the game and back in it's fixed. I think it's a bug in the game itself or something.
I just fought my first Gobul last night and it was the first monster to actually get me carted, though that was cause I was careless.
Hey
HEY
When are we going to play online together? Am I not good enough for you? Is that it?
That goes double for you, Andrex.
dunno what you mean by "lately" but i played for like 7 hours straight yesterday night without any disconnections

Yeah, someone on GFAQs helped me out with that. I can't seem to access the Minegarde forums. Every time I click that link, it merely shows the shoutbox and an error message.
Anyhoo, looks like I'm on table 2. Thanks anyway.
Having a tremendous amount of fun with the game thus far. Kinda feel like they purposely left online out to gouge players into buying both a Wii and 3DS copy, but hey, that's Capcom. They make good crack. Hard to argue with that kinda dealer.
I've been holding off because my hands started hurting a bit again, but once in a while is fine, I can go on right now if you can.

We can probably play tonight, depending on how tired I am. But you're in Britland if I remember right so coordinating might be a bit loopy.
Also, I'm slightly rusty.

Tried that, didn't fix it, sadly. :/
I'll try again tomorrow.
Yesterday and Today. Looks like it's a problem on my end, then.
Looks like I was able to track it down after all. Hope I was able to help in those last few hunts!
I assume you were Sassy? Quite helpful, thanks! (I was Ellanis)
That's me! And you're welcome!
Good lord I wish...
Grats! Today I made it to HR3

Question:
I'm wearing the Jaggi armor right now, which has the cumulative -10 fire resistance. I bought and set a +1 fire resistant decoration, but it's still showing -10 fire resistance when I check my status. Is it knocking it down to -9 and simply not showing it, or am I not receiving any counterbalance from the decoration?
