The guru and that funky cat. I spoke with the cat once before but he showed up again (bad hair rajang)
Finally. Crap way to handle it.
I joined. I remade my late high rank/early g-rank set since I took them out of my equipment sets a little while ago.
Nice to finish the session with a Fatalis. Intense shit, he's crawling around the place.

Thanks for joining my session; you too Beats. It went very well.

Anybody doing the new dlc tonight?
I recommend taking the super ballista ammo and dense marcoal with you, which can be bought at the Wyceum once you've upgraded. The former is useful for knocking the Dragonator off Gog's back, the latter is fuel for the Destroyer. As far as dragon weapons go, the Stygian Zinogre switch axe can be fully upgraded before Gog.

Thought that was this Friday? Although I noticed the preview video did say something like "available now!" in it which I thought was dumb since I didn't think it was out yet.

Oh is it? I thought it was already out. Ah well, never mind me then.
Out of curiosity I watched the original MH4 TGS 2011 reveal trailer yesterday and boy it looks formidably rough!
Compared to the game we're playing today (three and a half years later!) I found some bits interesting:
Do you see any other details / differences?

- The Tigrex part in the intro video of MH4U and this reveal trailer look quite similar.
- You didn't hit the monster to mount it, simply jumped on it.
- You could mount a flying Rathian.
- There was even more verticality, walls seem higher.
- The tilting terrain was already in place.

IIRC, the original concept didn't have separated areas, which was laster scrapped. Whether for technical reasons or for gameplay reasons I'm not sure.
I'm surprised by how much of the original concept made it into the final game. The reveal trailer's obviously a bunch of pre-made animations, possibly put together before the actual game mechanics had been finalized. But breakable pillars, quick climbing and long vertical climbs are all there right from the start.
I expect Monster Hunter X will have some tweaks of its own before the final game arrives.

I already unlocked those, and it still took me around 35 minutes to get Gog into the air with the Hazy Caster and Inferno/Paradis. I was really hoping to avoid having to fight Stygian Zinogre, but if it can't be avoided, would the switch axe or the sword and shield be better? I have just one S. Zin Skymerald.
Not really sure which of those would get you a faster time, to be honest - it also depends on what you're most comfortable with. For the sake of being able to move quickly, perhaps the sword and shield or dual blades would be better (even though I personally am more comfortable with the SA). Most solo attempts online seem to use the dual blades.
More tips:
- Blast is also a very good type to use
- Bring cleansers to quickly get rid of the tar
- Pick up the shiny drops - these are restraints, which you can use to hold Gog in place
- Might pills are good in a pinch if you think you'll be short on time

I think I'll go SnS, then, since Gog is so weak to Dragon and fast-hitting weapons are better for inflicting elemental damage.
I would use DBs (DBs and Insect Glaives are my main weapons), but the game won't let me fight a G Rank S. Magala yet and the only alternative I can think of is Twinbane Twighlight (Crimson Fatalis), which sounds like an ordeal all on its own. Chaos Gore didn't work for me.

Yeah baby, G2!
Time for some Seregios farming! I need to work on both BM and Gunner armor and 3 weapons as well. Hopefully there will be some rooms up after work when I get home. 201 hours......lord!

The good thing about Crimson Fatalis is that all of its parts drop pretty easily once the monster is down - the rare things, like Teostra Gem and Large Elder Dragon Gem, are acquired from other monsters.
There is also a dragon Dual Blade formed from Lao Shen parts - you get those by trading parts at the Wycoon.
Nice work! I just got to G2 a few days ago.
I actually had my full Seregios kit (Armor and Axe) done before getting to G2 as practically everyone in G1 rooms is either farming it or doing their urgents. I had 3 lenses by the time my urgent came up.

Gaijin just put up his top 5 bows and LBG. So I think that leaves just the Gunlances?
His LBG list is pretty good too, though I actually prefer the Battalion Strafer slightly over the Plesioth Drencher. A bit more attack power, a little bit more defense, and rapid-fire poison lv. 1 instead of sleep lv. 2. Plus it looks cooler. It's also worth noting that the Rathalos LBG rapid-fires 4 normal lv. 2 shots instead of the Seregios LBG's 3, which is another power/danger trade-off.
And he's done the Gunlances already. I remember grabbing some off his video when making a weapon crafting to-do list for the awards.

I'm not familiar with Guild Quests too much because I don't play them often. If I load them up during a multiplayer session, does it increase in level each time we successfully eliminate the monster?
For example, Tuffy sent me a level 120 Orochi Kirin. Just wondering if it'll level on my end.

Crap I must have missed that one.
I'm still working on the Seltas armor before I get into Gunlancing.
I believe I'm actually contemplating a full armor set, the nuke Brachy set. I think I can make a cool Horn set from it, HH being my next weapon to learn and master. Really only dislike adrenaline +2, but if I hone for life for example, it could serve as a good buffer if my health does get low, I wouldn't need to sheath and heal. Don't want to put away the horn if I don't need too. Charming in razor sharp would make both seregios and gog horns both good options. Maestro and part breaker are what I think I would jewel in.
I know motion values effect hone for life, but not sure if damage boosts do, so it could even work twice as good in that aspect.
Anyone else using this set for horns? Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the weapon, but on paper it seems like it would be nice: Brawn, Challenger +2, Adrenaline +2, Razor Sharp, Horn Maestro, Part Breaker (if I can squeeze it in).
It should increase, just as if you found it yourself. I believe though if you send it to someone else, you always send them at the level you found it, so lv120. Even if you get it to 140, and sent it to me, I would get a lv120 version of it.
Edit: Wow, great minds EvilMario, haha.

Yes. It'll level up for you, but if you send it to another person it'll be level 120 for them.

What worries me is fighting Crimson Fatalis. I haven't done it in this game yet. In Freedom Unite, I used the Akantor bow, but I've read that the Fatalis trio has been revamped.
Is there a G Rank Crimson Fatalis available before the "Super Crimson Fatalis" in the final scroll quest? I really want those Dragon/Blast dual blades.
Ah, that's a good point...there's a Crimson Fatalis quest available in solo mode (Advanced: Red Dragon's Dawn), but this gives High Rank materials, not G rank, so no, unfortunately you wouldn't be able to upgrade all the way to the highest level without taking out Gog first.
I have fought Crimson Fatalis in G rank, and didn't find it as bad as expected, although it does hit really hard. The key for me was to stay around its hind legs, and also to jump on it from a ledge wherever possible to get a mounted attack.

Yeah, as melee staying at the hind legs makes black Fatalis and crimson Fatalis both braindead fights.

Still doing the relic thing, what's the ideal def number I should be looking for from the relics before polishing them up?

Minimum for G rank sets is like 92 or something, right? I'd say aim at that.
You still hunting? I'll be home in about 15 minutes.

Ah that makes sense. And that number is easy to remember too.

That pillar area where the Tigrex is knocking them down as the hunter jumps across them is in the game. Unfortunately it's only in expeditions and you never fight a large monster in there anyways.
I was up until a bit ago, not anymore. It was just me and Arc

Is it weird that i don't want to run my guild quests with randoms?
Sure, I'll join.
EDIT: Good hunts.
There should be a spot open if anyone else wants to join.

That bugs me every time I do my 140 Cham GQ as it only has 3 areas and the middle area is that one with the pillars. Such a cool room to fight some of the smaller to medium monsters in yet all it ends up being is a connecting room that you run through just to get to the next area.
By far the coolest room available in the Everwood imo.

I'm going to attempt to host a room. I need 4 Seltas Queen Moonlashes, so break the tail on the giant bug as soon as possible.

We'll do Mean and Green as it appears, otherwise it's gotta be the capture mission Strutting the Royal Runway.

No, but you probably have a good year until the game comes worldwide, at least. The date announced was only for JP release.
Nothing carried over going from 3 Ultimate to 4 Ultimate other than the basic knowledge of how Monster Hunter works and how some of the older monsters behaved (which is quite helpful, actually). I'm not expecting anything to carry over to Monster Hunter X either, but I don't think anybody knows for sure.
