what the hell?
Haven't fought the new Teo yet. Is that a new attack?
He was already a hard as balls monster

Haven't fought Teostra yet, but perhaps I'll change my tune, that sounds nasty. I'd imagine those that make it to elder dragons know what they are doing a bit more.
Really? It's the most common one I see. Or perhaps there is some perception bias going on now after so many poor experiences.
Maybe that's the main frustration, I watched the Gaijinhunter video about it, so I see what it can do, but so many don't do any of it.
Eye of the beholder I suppose. I find it one of the least visually appealing; channels too much Sephiroth. The tail cutting ability when in the right hands is great though!
Yeah it's new. 90 seconds after going into rage mode he'll create an explosion around him that will kill you if you're hit by it. The only way to stop this is to mount him as it takes him out of rage mode.

Can you run away from it or does it cover the entire zone?

The armor
Classic way to find the weaknesses is to look at their armor set
Some of the pieces even indicate what part of the body is weakest to what but its far from exact.
The online charts are the most reliable but thats the quick and dirty solution
You can run away, but unless you're using a stopwatch you won't have time to sheath and run away.

The main ingame way is to kill one, get some parts, and look at the resistances on the armor you can make from that monster. The resistances are rough indicators of what it's weak to, and to what degree it's weak.
Yeah, you can run away from it. It's big, but not that big. I usually just have a countdown going on in my head when fighting it and I stay away from it when it's nearing the 90 second mark.

Does it still have the red and yellow sparks that give away the aoe explosion distance?
check their armor for elemental resistance.
not 100% accurate tho.
Not sure why I didn't think of that sooner! Thanks!
Nope. Now it's a red hazy circle that appears around him and the explosions happen in the rim of it. There's now more than two distances so I can understand why they changed it.
If you are talking about the HR7 one, it doesn't kill in one hit unless you have low base health at the start, it does tons of damage but it's not a guaranteed OHK, I remember getting hit by it, losing a ton of my health and getting confused at why there were no tells.

It has one pretty obvious tell, he begins to fly. Any time Teo is in the air just run away from him.
And by the time he leaves the ground you're screwed unless you have speed sheathing.

Lol well yeah I guess positional luck has a bit to do with it. But at least you know that once he goes up in the air it's time to panic
I'm either missing something with the Glaive or it's just not for me. It's really really hard for me to get the red buffs, much less red+white, and even when I do I don't feel like I'm doing any significant damage (no big flinches or anything).
Also, I did a bit of the first 2 arenas with a friend and we had a really hard time getting S-Rank. The times are definitely a lot tighter than they were in Tri or 3U. We still haven't gotten S-Rank on Kecha Wacha, closest we got was 4:27 with LBG+DS.
We also tried IG+LBG which seemed like it's the best combo to use, but we're both so bad with the IG that we couldn't do it, our best was 5 minutes.

Doesn't he fly and hover above ground for 2 seconds or so before he super novas? The only people that I've seen die to that is IG users. Can't blame them though if they've never seen Teostra before, but if they keep dying then yea it's a problem.
And if you were attacking him when he leaves the ground you're going to get hit by the attack. A tell isn't a tell if the attack happens that fast.

For just the standard wyvern gems? I am pretty sure you need 10 of em for the ukanlos set.
That's a pretty notable one, they're also used for a few good weapon upgrades.
Ah, thanks. I'll make sure to keep at least 20 of them then.
I don't know, if the attack was that big of problem we'd have triple cart super novas and a ton of people complaining about the monster being super lame.
ninja edit
I'm now fully expecting to die to super nova the next time I hunt Teostra.

Ugh. I need Conga Pelt+ for the E. Congalala set, but the only place I have to farm high rank Congas right now is P. Forest, and there's like three of them there and they don't respawn. I need 8 of the damn things and I only get like one per trip out there. This is awful. Is there any better way to do this?

High rank expeditions and guild quest.
You should have one that has Conga spawns in it and they are infinite. I was able to kill 37 high rank kelbi in a row non stop in the high rank velocidrome GQ. Its the best way to get small monster parts hands down
I have finally decided to take the plunge and picked up a n3DS XL today during lunch. I ordered MH through amazon, but won't get it until Monday. I was wondering about the new weapons in the game/ weapons I've never used before. I have only played the console games in the past (ps2, wii, wii u) and only used the LS, Hammer, Lance. I've tried some of the other types, but never really tried any of the newer ones like hunting horn, gunlance, insect glaive and charge blade. I was wondering if any of these are worth investing in as I would probably try to use some time with the demo to learning the controls of them.
Also, is there anything else I should prep myself for in terms of moving to the handheld and with the controls? I figure I should start offline and build up my gear and supplies first before heading online as well. Any other changes to the game I should be aware of?

I've been doing the expeditions and getting almost nothing. Guess I'll look into the guild quests, but eh, soloing a HR guild quest doesn't sound terribly fun right now.
Right at the start, you have loads of Weapon Training quests to play with all of the weapons.
Charge Blade seems really damn good but takes a while to master. Same with the BugStaff. Nice new additions to the already heafy roster.
I also got the N3DS XL and the extra screen space is nice. Getting use to the controls can take a little while, espeically since you can get some hand cramps if you're not use to using a handheld
There is a gift available for new users, so don't forget to check out teh process as you start and get your free stuff. Lots of early materials and items to help out.
What weapon did you use? I took him down in 15 with the sentinel blade CB.
Yep!

Is this game fun to play solo? I played the demo and enjoyed it... I really need something to occupy me until Hotline Miami 2 and Bloodborne. This looks great.
I don't have the new 3DS XL though.
I don't have the new 3DS XL though.
Yes. The majority of my over 100 hour play time has been solo.
Yup!
Do expeditions, kills monsters and collect items to get more guild quests, play the guild quests to level them up and get better items.

If you're farming azure rathalos
Break face, break back, cut tail, loot shinies and capture.
You'll be guaranteed a ruby in 10 hunts at worst.
Thanks
When you get the game, you should definitely go talk to the housecat to download the free starter's kit DLC which gives you a lot of supply items from the get-go. Doing the offline quests will help upgrade the mechanic that allows you to "farm" raw materials, but you can always stagger back and forth between offline and online if you want to (some upgrades are going to be only from guild hall quests anyway). Offline is not devoid of content.
When do Caravan quests start being considered "high rank"? Is it 7 stars? I'm sitting in 5 star quests right now.
I'm thinking about an intermediate armor set to get me into high rank. I've been using Low rank lvl 3 Tetsu as a good all around set so far, but I'll likely need to change it up soon.
EDIT: Thanks for the Gravios advice earlier. I guess the face is armored for a reason.

Everything carries over. I'm not sure what they;re talking about. Maybe they were referring to the wystones and dense marcoal which are only unlocked through single player?
Yeah, it's 7*. Tetsu armor can get you to high rank.
If someone sends me a quest, can I level it too or can I only level my own?You can also share those quests with other players.
