Beat Heaven and Earth.Took 40 mins, so rusty. v_v
After finishing Glacial Agnaktor and Steel Uragaan last night in Moga I'm three steps closer to Ivory Lagi and beating the main game.
Only Black Diablos left in 9-star...
be careful with ivory lagiacrus. he is the ruler of land and sea, actually.
he is a wimp

Someone tell me Black Diablos isn't as bad as my nightmares inform me...
High rank Black Diablos is a pain, but totally manageable since it's just like regular Diablos with a bit more rage.
G rank Black Diablos is nightmare fuel once he burrows underground. Sometimes he'll tremor underneath you and while you're stumbling around helplessly... *boom!* off to the cart. Or he'll launch up from underground at a 45° angle and hit half the people in the room as he goes by. It's helpful to fight it with status effects like paralysis or sleep to immobilize it so the rest of the team can pummel him into submission.
The Cruel king of the sea though...

Fought Brachydios for the first time, got my ass kicked. The second one went way better, but I still hate all that AOE.

Iou mate, same here. Bought the Wii U on saturday with MH3U and I've been playing for like 15 hours already.Just got my Wii U and grabbed MH3U over the weekend! Newb here but having fun, and getting pretty good NNID: Malholio (anyone who plays online feel free to add!)
Would like to do more online. Just beat Royal Ludroth so that gives you an idea of how far along I am.
Right now I just got Cha-Cha so basically I'm doing Lvl.3 quests. Playing with a jaggi armor set and jaggi blades (I tried bows but I can hit shit with them).
If you wanna hang out and kill some stuff let me know. ID: Dizzy4U
Guys, I have been out of the loop for a few months. I just downloaded the event DLCs and have a few questions.
- Anything on the level of the Ivory Lagiacrus a few months back? (Where you can get the Gunlance)
- The next week DLC is "Second coming"--is this the G rank Alateron?

I have a lot of trouble fighting Black Diablos. There's not much safe place to stand and not much window of opportunity to attack. I always bring traps so I can beat him up for awhile. BTW he always jumps in the air after breaking out of pitfall traps, which leaves him vulnerable to be knocked out of the air with a flash bomb. If you're trying to break horns, the pitfall trap to flash bomb trick helps a lot.

Just beat Black Diablos! Ivory Lagi unlocked!!
She wasn't as scary as I imagined, but she's still pretty terrifying in rage made. The speed at which she can pop out of ground on the other side of the area and be right on you... *shudders* Lord help the male Diablos trying to mate with her this way, lmao.
Actually when I killed it I was like "wait, what?" I guess I was expecting it to limp or something lol, but the fact it retreated and was sleeping should have been a clue. Ah well, one less shock trap used.
Saw the newly unlocked "Triumph of the Tyrants" quest...
Looking forward to beating Ivory Lagi. I know that two(?) more quests open up after beating him and I'm excited for those but I consider them post-game. (Kinda want to cross this off my backlog, since I count it as two games (3DS+Wii U) lol.)

Every time you combine items to make a new one (Honey + Potion = Mega Potion, etc.) there's a chance of it failing. The books lower that chance, having all of them makes it essentially zero.
Books increase the % for a combination to be successful. During quests they only work if you have them in your pouch.
Yup, I'm dumb. I was thinking about attack combos, not the actual combination combos. That explains it. I was running like an idiot hitting things with the books equipped expecting better attacks.
Hey guys, so I basically picked up a wii u for monster hunter and now I am a little confused about the multiplayer. There are three of us who want to play together and two of us have the wii u version and one has the 3ds version. If we are all in the same room is there a way for us to play together? If we connect the 3ds to one of the wii u's can you still have someone playing on that wii u and can both of them go online together to play with the third person on a different wii u? Is there any way to do it all locally? Also I assume I need a USB LAN adaptor correct?
The Wii U can host a local multiplayer room with multiple 3DS people, but the Wii U can't join a local multiplayer room as a guest. Multiple Wii U people can join an online multiplayer room in order to play together, but the 3DS can't go online unless a Wii U is functioning as a bridge (with the USB LAN adapter). But the Wii U can't bridge the 3DS online and play the game at the same time.
If it were 1 Wii U and 2 3DSes, it'd be straightforward. Or 3 Wii Us. But I'm not sure about 2 Wii Us and 1 3DS without swapping out some hardware.

CHUMP over at capcom unity does an excellent job of keeping the thread updated as new DLC quests come out. Lists everything.
Well that is a little disappointing to hear. I don't suppose there are any workarounds or hacks that let you create a bridge with a pc instead of a wii u?
Ah thanks very much! I have missed a lot of these swords and I need to start doing the quests for them. But some like Deviljho without armor and Cruel King are just too hard...
Cruel King of the Seas is a hard quest but it's mainly, imo, because the vast majority of people you play with will cart.
I don't know what weapon you use/are proficient with but if you use Lance/GunLance you are wear Anga Z and just wear him down over time. It's not fast but it will get the job done and you'll be mostly safe.
Just be careful online with this quest of players who come in and use weapons that can't block. 90%+ of players don't have the skill to evade correctly and will cart. Gunners can be 1 hit KO'd.
The hardest part of this quest for me was finding a team that wouldn't cart 3 times... My best experience was with a player name Leo. He used GS and I used GL and we 2 manned it. It was really nice playing with someone who was good and took it seriously, i.e. just didn't rely on the team to do all the work. Then again, with 2 people you really can't. It wasn't the fastest kill time by any means, but we got it done without any hiccups.
Finally, a good GS set with Sharp +1 and Crit Draw (among other skills) would work as well. Just use a "hit and run" style. Crit draw attack >sheathe> get away/reposition>repeat. Not as safe as the lance/GL tactic above but this will work as well.
good luck man.

Black Diablos is female.
I always forget which ones are male and female :S
Rathian is easy to remember 'cause she comes in pink :3

Hmm, which ones besides Diablos and Rathian are female?
Besides some MHFO monsters they're the only ones who are specifically female
In MHFU there was a large monster called Vespoid Queen. Other than that, no idea. I guess they're usually gender-neutral.

Beat Ivory Lagi! What a wimp, lol. The
was totally worth it though.
I actually had a bit of fun taking it easy against him. Want to make some armor out of him but it doesn't seem worth it now that I'm at the end of HR...

I use a LS but I usually don't die on this quest. Some people just go totally unprepared. I've seen some with Thunder res -20 trying to beat it. I think I've beat it 2 times and I have 3 of the item for the gunlance.
I don't know if I should use a blocking weapon, as on 200+ hours I was playing only with LS, but probably I'll give it a try.

That spoilered bit. Absolutely loved that. My kids actually ask me to show that to them every now and again.
I haven't got there. I'm HR3 stuck on that Brachydios Mio quest. Seems a bit harder than the 8* village Brachy.

Don't know how, but I somehow put 20 hous into this game. I feel like I've only been playing for like 30 minutes.
I just finished hunting a Gobul, I hate underwater monsters though.
I gotta couple questions:
1. Sometimes when I attack monsters my blade bounces off of them, why does that happen?
2. After I do a free roam hunt and return to the elders sons, should I convert some of the items to resources? I don't see an option to send it to my item box, so I'm guessing it's safe.
3. What's the best armor for a Low Rank Blade Master? I'm still using the 1st set I bought early in the game, and I'm assuming it's gonna bite me in the ass eventually.
4. Should I even be worrying about jewels this early in the game?
5. I started with the bone blade and have upgraded to the cataclysm sword. Should I stick with this path or is there a recommended upgrade route for Great Sword weilders?
6. Are there any items I can consume that adds buffs or elemental damage to my weapons?

1. bouncing is a result of your weapon's sharpness. Different parts of a monster are harder, and require sharper weapons to pass through them. You can counter this by making sure your weapon is sharp, aiming for different parts of the monster, getting weapons with higher sharpness levels and lastly, there's an armor skill that prevents you from ever bouncing called mind's eye. You'll do less damage, and still get a yellow flash with the *thunk* sound, but you won't get the really dangerous bounce back stagger which can really turn things for the worse.
