Speaking of make sure to do the quest to upgrade the shieldspire gadget if you haven't already. Not only is it incredibly useful it's also very funny.

Edit - And the funny thing is, the next time you face it you'll probably take it down like it's nothing, and in half the time.

I'm slowly working my way through the equipment upgrade quests too. Did one for the ghillie and vitality cloaks but haven't seen the shieldspire one pop up yet

Playing thru MHGU and got to Cephadrome without realizing 1) you really need flash bombs and 2) you need to paintball him at all times because the loving guy escapes and never shows up for ever. Beat him with like two min left, what a fuckhead. Was relieved to see that everyone online thinks he’s one of the worst in the series. Honestly the hit boxes for him and constantly disappearing made it incredibly annoying, dude isn’t even difficult but the hunt drags out due to waiting and chasing him down.

I trust that the Monster Hunter team could make Cephadrome good.

At the same time, I wish they'd make Cephadrome good by making it extinct, appearing only as easter egg bone gather spots in the desert.

Paintball *everything* and refresh the paintball until you know that monster's patterns on each map - which you will soon enough. Even then, I continue to paintball as it's annoying to search some of these maps if I misremember. Having someone zone out on you just as you find them again is peak MH frustration.

One thing that bugs me about multiplayer in Sunbreak is not having the "respond to any ol' join request" option for event quests. iirc World had this and I hope Wilds brings it back

Yeah this is a major weakness of Rise compared to World - you can still attempt to hop into rando's quests but you either have to search for a specific quest to see if someone is running it (and you will often not find anything), or just have it look for any quest and have you join the first one it finds, which could be anything. World's approach makes a lot more sense, where you just search for active SOS flares and then it gives you a list of all the quests people are running that fit your search criteria and you can pick any of them to join immediately.

On an unrelated note, after putting the game down for a little while, I got the urge to jump back into World with a new character and give GS a try, a weapon I've used exactly one time in an arena fight which I did not enjoy. Having actually learned how to use it, I now understand why so many people main this weapon. I'm still in low rank but man, I am really not used to monsters already limping away after like, 5 hits. Even landing SAED's never made them reel away from the impact the way that a TCS does.

Is there a trick to lining up correctly to wake a sleeping monster with the final hit of the TCS combo? I can get it sometimes but the positioning seems really touchy.

Get up next to the head, block, then roll away. Turn and face the mon again (don't move toward it at all) and start your combo. It takes a little practice but it's quick once you get it down.

This video shows how to do it:

MHGU: Did the Bulldrome mission and I think I said “that’s it!?” out loud when it was over in five minutes lol

Goddamn how many of these gathering missions do I have to do before Rank 3 or even just more monster hunts, there’s like 100 monsters in this game and I think I’ve only fought four in seven hours. Maybe I’m just not used to the older games coming from World and Rise, guessing I need to do one mission in each village to get the Urgent Quest.

Search for a GU key quests spreadsheet. A good one will save you lots of time, including with cat mode key quests.

The hunts required to progress are basically random and not marked in game whatsoever lol. Definitely look up a key hunt list.

Turns out all I needed was to do the five minute crab killing thing. Then I got to fight Arzurus who I love and the fun Teoscabra boulder boy. Decided to try sword and shield with Valor style, very fun to parry poo poo and then unleash a flurry of slashes into Round Slash.
