Armor spheres can be used along the way. The only ones I would really save are the top armor spheres. Spheres are used in a value close to your armor. Low level armor uses more low level spheres IIRC.
Also, elder quests are easier as they are meant to be done solo. Going through it will unlock new pokke farm upgrades/ trenya boat locations. That is unless you go through the hall and go through the HRs. Also, there are two elder quests that have unique monsters such as the White Monoblos and the Yian Garuga. The garuga was a DL quest too if you prefer to hunt it with others.
I highly recommend getting the Sword Saint Piercing. A helm that gives the ESP skill (attacks cannot bounce off monsters) by itself. It was originally unlocked by completing all solo training against the 10 battle / 5 special monsters.
This is from my experience in MHF2, correct me if any of this has changed in/for MHFU. Anyone.
Oh man, I remember when Khezu was my most hated, most feared monster of them all. I had an obsessive, passionate vendetta against him and everything he stood for...Teknoman said:
No sight, meaning a number of things: you can't flash him; you can't get scared and Dive Saves All (tm) away from him; no music!
Always in horrible cold areas, and changes frequently.
Like you say, looks like a freakish Silent Hill nightmare. And that roar...
Several hundred hours across all PSP versions, and he's now just a joke :lol
Btw, anyone know of any JPN>EU save converters yet? I'm pumped to carry on with Unite, as the new PS3 tunneling system looks amazing. When everyone gets sorted, look out for Sir Bob in the halls!

The best way to take down a Khazu at the start is use a weapon that can block. 90% of deaths come from a roar/Lightning shot combo he spams when enraged. SnS, Greatsword, Lance and Gunlance will do the job. I'd take a fire SnS if you can get your hands on one and just hop in and out and block the roar. It'll take you longer, sure, but it's pretty safe. One more note, Khezu resists impact weapons, so unless you're using a hammer's charge attack, try to use a slicing weapon.
As for the breaking stuff on him, you can break his body and break his face so yea you could do that.

Gypceros. Break the gem on his head. Not only can he not use the flash attack, give you extra time to damage him, but it'll net you a lightcrystal (Some of the time). Here

Well, I would recommend save them until you get your first semi-decent armors (like Hermitaur and Blangonga), because in the very beginnings the raw value of the armors rapidly increase.
And about the Khezu, it's a real bastard for beginners :lol. Read tiltnkirby two posts before, his tips are pretty good.
And I suggest waiting for doing treasure hunt until having decent sets of armor and weapons, for example for Mountain use Tigrex armor and Devil Slicer.

You'll want to have people with you if you want better weapons/armor for the harder missions. You can do it alone but it takes more skill/prep to take them down, like chain trapping a monster or sleep bombing, whole sets of armor to just solo a fight etc.
And you can do a gypceros quest online. It should make it easier since he has more hp and you got 4 people to attack the head area, hell, if you have a gunner they can pretty much break it solo. And it's more fun, can't forget that.
i had done it online right before posting that, broke the head (with help of a bowgun friend), but didn't get the crystal drop. i checked the faq and they only list Elder and G:tiltnkirby said:

Drop:N/Awith a note near the beginning:
"There are actually three different rates. Elder, 1-2 star guild and
G-Rank. 1-2 star guild rates don't really give much, that's why farming
the 2 star Rathalos quest is pointless."
so are you sure we can get lightcrystals by doing it online? i've tried solo twice now and find it hard to break the headpiece..
for my level (just got **** missions from elder), is there a good method for stunning him to make smacking his head easier? i use long sword

What was written and what you're saying is true. I don't really know if he'll drop it on his 2-star version, but he'll sure as hell do it on his 4-star. Also, it's a 1/3 chance, sometimes luck just isn't on our sides.
As for getting the head, you can try using pitfall traps (Shocktraps don't work). That should buy you some time.

Seen a lot of TV adverts for this (UK)
I failed miserably with the demo so I'm gonna give it another shot.
Monster Hunter is one of those games I really want to like, but not sure if I will.

I played MHF 2 and then I fell in love.

Exclusively play it multiplayer. The difference is unbelievable. Seriously, no matter what the hardcore "form the camera claw" people tell you, this is a multiplayer game right down to its basic design. I'm having a blast now I only play through Adhoc Party.

I'm primarily a bow / hammer user... but I use a kut-ku stave (level II) and can typically smash his head, sometimes even get a drop during the fight of a lightcrystal, and have gotten lightcrystals in the first Elder quest you're able to battle against him in the rewards screen (unsure what * it is).
