Do you still have to use fire weapons to break Blangonga fangs?

Na don't think so, I think I broke his face with random shots (pierce, normal, etc). Do you want help on him? All of them dirty euros have bailed on me. ;D

anyway, great hunts, thanks a lot!

Yeah, fun hunts, Excellen, Gaia, you, Faust, thanks for the help!

Edit: Out of Ammo, why you lock pass bro? ;_;

Combat in this game is so bloody fun

SHENG. OH MY GOD IT'S BEEN AGES.

*hugs

Yeah. I usually stick to Guild or Striker against smaller monsters. Aerial and Adept are just so hard to land hits on when stuff is smaller.

I reckon as much. Supposedly it should be much against ultra sized monster.

I wonder if its good against Rajang or/and Jho too.

Looking for ways to save some space on my touchscreen, so I can get my top screen free of any HUD elements.

Is there a way of assigning the target camera to a monster without utilizing the touchscreen?
It was possible in 3U by double tapping the L button (I think), but it doesn't seem to work in this game.

Also, since all three Hunter Arts can be activated by using buttons, is there a way of telling when which HA is ready for use without having them placed on your touchscreen?

Just hit rank 2 in single player and feel discouraged by all these supply quests. I don't remember MH4U being like this. 5 hours in, I want to kill lots of big stuff now.

There's a ton in 3* too. They really went with quantity over quality so they could say that this game has the most quests out of any MH game.

 

[Thoraxes]

lol i had it pre-tranq'd.

How far in advance can you pre-tranq anyways? In 4U I was always doing it like 5-10 seconds before, but I imagine you could do it earlier.

Try prowler mode for supply quest. The palicoes have unlimited stamina that allows them for quick traversal around the map much faster than the hunter.

 

[Beats]

I think my favorite new monster so far is Mizutsune. The theme and their attacks are really cool. Encountered it in a Bulldrome quest but it took a long time to kill though. I'm not even sure if I was supposed to fight it lol.

You don't have to do those quests.

Not sure, I've done it too early but dont recall the specific time. It's not much more than those 5-10s I think.

Yeah he's fun to hunt. I don't think you're supposed to go after him on that bulldrome hunt. His set and his LS look pretty cool.

 

[Kansoku]

Man, fuck these wycademy points quests. Would rather do eggs quest.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

HR3 is end game village, seems fair.

 

[Brick]

Man, fuck these wycademy points quests. Would rather do eggs quest.

Was thinking the same thing. They're the only part of the game that I dislike so far.

 

[R0ckman]

Will the Palico play help me harvest things like bnahabra wings, shells easier? Otherwise I guess I'll be stocking up on tons of poison bombs...

 

[R0ckman]

Why is it no matter how hard I try I can't seem to break the Great Maccao's face? I'm trying both aerial for mounting and a hammer to the face but nothing

Weird had no problems with hammer. I used bone hammer KO'd him 3 times.

 

[Darvan]

Gaf,

Question on the NN3DS XL are you guy's playing with 3D on or disable ?

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

It'll be interesting to discuss which fated four is peoples favorites, they are all really fun fights for different reasons.

 

[Zack Zavage]

Gaf,

The game looks awful at in-game daylight with 3D enabled.

I use it nonetheless. It looks beautiful at night or in dark areas.

 

[LFG]

Does this game play fine on the 2ds? I've never owned a 3ds and considering picking up the 2ds because it's cheap.

 

[delume]

Jesus this game has systems upon systems to try and decipher as a new hunter. Currently rocking longsword with guild style and I have hit my first skill check/get good Monster Hunter moment. Cephadrome is all over me. Should I be looking to employ more equipment (like traps and bombs), upgrade my gear or just learn to wrestle with these controls a bit more? Really enjoying my time with it even though it feels like a game designed to be intentionally unwelcoming.

When it's swimming in the sand use a sonic bomb to stun it.

 

[Khezu]

Outside of the Raths and maybe Kut Ku, all the gen 1/2 monsters really need to be retired...forever.

Like there is no good reason to have Cephadrome in this game.
No one gives a shit about Cephadrome.

There are a bunch of way cooler monsters that got cut, and we got Cephadrome

 

[perorist]

Ended up soloing nakarkos since I didn't want to fight it 4 times with flaky pubs. Easily the weirdest MH monster yet, totally different atmosphere than the others.

Going to farm high rank kutku for a bit to try and get monster keenbones. If anyone wants to join in, let me know.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Finally got it, last one in best buy 😳

Garuga, Blangonga, Tigrex, Nargacuga, Lavasioth, Rajang, Khezu, Hermitaur, Ceanataur, Hypnocatrice, Kushala Daora, Lunastra, Teostra, and Kirin are all fun to fight though.

 

[EscapeArtist]

I keep getting grouped up with people who take all the supplies from the beginning box, leaving none for others. It's happened like 4 times in a row. I don't know if it's people that are being dicks or maybe they think the box at the beginning is just stuff for them?

 

[delume]

When it's swimming in the sand use a sonic bomb to stun it.

Thanks! So are there, in a more general sense, monsters that require certain items to be defeated? Or is it like Dark Souls where, with enough skill, a naked run is possible?

A combination of all three to be honest.

You are eating before quests right? Aim for Health and Defense bonuses.

And yeah you can throw sonic bombs at Cephadrome when it's swimming under the sand. But if it's enraged it won't work. Try to use one right at the beginning of the fight.

Eating? That's right, I remember talking to the chef at the beginning of the game but didn't want to use my meal ticket (which I have never gotten a second one.) I will definitely try it out. Game keeps giving. Thanks Sammy.

Like really.. fuck Tigrex.

 

[Kinsei]

Naked runs are possible. I fact if this is like past games than some future event quest(s) will require you to play with no armor.

Eating? That's right, I remember talking to the chef at the beginning of the game but didn't want to use my meal ticket (which I have never gotten a second one.) I will definitely try it out. Game keeps giving. Thanks Sammy.

The vouchers are only if you want all of the meal ingredients to be fresh which doesn't matter until you get much further into the game and they stop giving you rations. A meal only costs 50 zenny.

You can pay with money and the tickets aren't rare, you get more after every 15 meals or so.

You don't really have to understand how meals work right now but eating before every quest is very important, whatever bonus you get is still a bonus, lol.

Good luck!

 

[spiritfox]

Godamnit Snarf stop running between 7 and 3. Annoying shit.

Also I can't do blademaster anymore. Bow too good.

 

[toastyToast]

My least favorite thing about the early game outside of all the fetch quests is dealing with a lack of sharpness. I can't describe how enraged I get when I get a nice opening and because I was a millimeter off I double bounce off the monster and they get up again. Come to me purple/white sharpness.

 

[spiritfox]

Oh man don't ask me to hunt moofahs. I can't.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

The only thing I don't like so far is the new upgrade system.

Delete it from MH5.

 

[delume]

Sweet, sweet victory! Eating + Crafting new armour and weapons = Easy Mode enabled. Thanks gang! If you are reading this and have never played Monster Hunter before give it a shot. It is a genuine thing.

 

[Waylon Drums]

No.. fuck Tigrex..

Like really.. fuck Tigrex.

MHFU Tigrex was...something else if I remember correctly.

This is especially depressing for the starting DB lmao.

edit: I also want to say pls give me Barioth

 

[Wanderer5]

There BujaBujaBu set made.

Is it only for the weapons? It does look a bit odd.

 

[perorist]

It's for armor too. Once you use a few armor stones it'll ask for monster parts. Nice thing is it upgrades a good chunk at a time and not just 2 points per upgrade.

 

[MegaPanda]

Daimyo Mr. Crabs was definitely not fun to fight. Maybe in mid-game when you have a little more sharpness.

 

[Kinsei]

I made a pair of ice dual blades that are just a pair of mittens. They are inferior to the Lagombi DBs in every way and honestly even if I didn't have another pair of ice DBs they still wouldn't be any good but I'm going to use them anyway. I shall punch things to death while wearing cute fluffy mittens.
