Thanks guys - the trap suggestion worked. Only took a few moments after trapping him and smashing his head with my hammer to get him weak enough to go sleep so I could catch him. Just a LOT of bullshit to deal with in that fight.

Yian Garuga is so not fun to fight 
Make it as narrow as possible and stretch it all the way to the bottom. Works even better.

Did it reach its expiration date?
This game actually isn't all that suited for portables. You can't just pick it up and play it for 15 minutes at a time because everything takes forever. I remember I used to be able to play a level or two of Mario 3d Land on my fifteen minute breaks at work, but that's really difficult with this game. It doesn't quite lend itself to that.
A single hunt doesn't take more than 20 minutes.
It's perfect as a portable when you're home. Frees up my tv so I can watch(lol) tv shows or sports. The offtv play hit so late or I would've played 3U a lot more.

Plus suspend/resume works great in single player.
In terms of how long it takes, the game has been massively improved from the PSP games. If you're good you can wrap up hunts in <15 minutes, 25-30 maybe if you haven't fought said monster before.
On the PSP games, I remember timing out was a common occurrence, which means the whole 45-50 minutes.

You can pause in single player, and if your hunts take longer than 20 minutes you might need to reevaluate your strategies or upgrade your gear.

I made mine as tiny as possible and put it in a position where the tip of my thumb could easily travel to. The idea behind mine is that it's almost like a nub, i can just kind of put my thumb over it and roll it in the direction I want the camera to move.
When his feelers/horns get out, you need to deal damage onto Gore (anywhere) until his feelers start to shift between white and their original color. In this state, a single attack to his feelers will break him out of the enraged state.

All my hunts are usually 15 min at most... so it's perfect to me!
It's my first time playing the series, and all my hunts I finish like five minutes before time runs out.
Question, one of the guild rank 4 quest has a delivery quest (the egg delivery kind I think) has a drink ingredient upgrade that I want to do. The sub quest suggest there deviljho chilling around there. Possible to do solo and is the shortest road back going to get blocked? Or should I just get help?

What error code do you get?

Gotta fight the jho. I know I'm sorta ready for him (lol)
Not a big deal at all. You were a huge help! Thank you!
And now I'll try Brachydios alone unless someone joins. He destroyed me repeatedly in 3U. So this should be fun. At least it won't be the frenzy one from caravan.

Very possible to solo, as I did; you should be able to get half the deliveries before Jho comes in. Paint it, run away and just wait for an opportunity
Of course getting more people is better..

Error code 006-0612. Ive tried multiple routers at my house and keep getting that code. I use the same router at work, with a different internet provider and it works just fine. I only get that code at my house. Also, I can play every other online 3DS game just fine. I only get that when trying to connect to a gathering hall or when someone tries to join me.
I'm gonna run to grab a burrito. If you're still on in half an hour I'll come give ya a hand

I recommend watching some tutorials and learning your weapon in the training missions. Maybe there's another weapon that you will find you're more effective with.
Either you aren't being aggressive enough or your gear needs serious upgrading. I'd look into the latter first as it's an easy fix.

I just figured this out about the insect glaive, dunno how useful it is to people. If you mark a part of a monster for your bug and are wondering why the hell your insect won't sap that colour juice, the reason is because it strictly travels in straight lines and will most likely miss since the monster is moving. What you gotta do is send it out, if it doesn't get what you want send it out again without calling it back. It'll use it's new location as its origin and then aim for the marked position. Might take a few attempts but eventually it should get what you wanted.
If you look in water/streams in certain areas of the maps there'll be fish you can catch. I'm pretty sure you don't have to bring bait but I'd bring goldenfish bait anyway as it 'resets' the fishing point.
Had to sit through fishing for a few ancientfish and speartuna yesterday, goldenfish bait saving my sanity.
Still on? If so, what's the room number?
Maybe you're right. I've been practicing since the demo came out. I've been using the charge blade a lot.
I haven't really been able to upgrade anything significantly, I keep collecting stuff, but it leads to such small upgrades that I don't notice any differences at all. Maybe I am not aggressive enough. I tend to play games at a very slow pace. I'm five hours in, and I've barely defeated that Jaggi thing.

Had to end by subquest. Shouldn't have brought my S&S I guess. Was running low on time.
If you haven't killed Great Jaggi yet then there's not much upgrading you can do. I think you can get like one or two weapon upgrades and that's it.
I'd say try a new weapon, Charge Blade can be a really annoying thing to learn.

Also, if you have ANY experience whatsoever with Lance/Gunlance, use that for solo Gore. Letting him basically come to you the whole fight makes it so easy, and shielded jabs at his head knocks him out of frenzy mode so fast. That's how I did it until I "got gud" with charge blade.

Oh my god. I just got the best fucking talisman in my last quest. +5 guard with 3 slots. I can slot in enough artillery gems on a high rank Hermitaur set to get Artillery God. I have become one with the gunlance.

Yeah I think I'm giving up on the Insect Glaive, I don't think I "get" it. I can't nail any buffs consistently at all, if I try going for red+white, by the time I got one the other starts blinking. And when I do get them both by some miracle, I don't feel like I'm doing that much more damage to be worth it (no flinches or anything).
Still haven't failed a quest though I did die 3 times on an expedition, haha.

Hrm. Red and white should generally be easy to acquire. You're not marking are you? If so, try to not. Get close, turn to the head, R+X > R+A as soon as it gets it, move to the legs or wings if they're white, repeat.
Orange is usually the harder option, but it's not as important. It's extremely nice when you can get it though.
You should be seeing a 20% or so increase in your attack power with Red + White, plus red changes up your attacks drastically increasing your damage output.
That said, some weapons just don't click depending on playstyle. Always best to find a weapon that feels right for you.

Okay maybe this -15 fire res Nerscylla armor was a bad idea. Just got rekt on high rank Pink Rathian....
Fire resist food helps
You probably want to get the three buffs at once, they're not too hard to grab from kecha. Giving speed nectar to your bug is what helps a lot with getting the essences because the basic bug is painfully slow.

Yeah I'm not marking. I think I need to see some high level videos of it or something because yesterday I was doing the Kecha Wacha arena with my friend like 10 times with the IG, trying to get S-Rank, and some rounds I just practiced the red+white the whole time, but closest we came was 5 minutes (S is 4).
Firestarter food buff!
