High five first-try table 10 bro.

Volvidon is a butt! Stop rolling all over the place you rear end in a top hat, I'm trying to hit you with a giant ice mallet! :mad: It's like Uragaan had a crack baby with a Lagombi.

Do you get the chance to hunt Great Wroggis anywhere but the Flooded Forest? I hate that place. Too much clutter. I want cowboy gunner gear!

Eh, F. Forest ain't so bad, and if you're fighting Volvidon you can probably kill a G. Wroggi in like a minute or so before they go somewhere dumb.

Pretty much, yes. If you had a column of O's in 3 then you'd keep going until either 3 or 5 X'd out.

Oh what the actual gently caress The Duramboros. Nearly KOed me after taking up ALL of my Potions, First Aid Meds, and Mega Potions. AND he took 13 Whetstones plus the 2 mini whetstones to keep me at a decent sharpness all fight long. Sucker is really tough, but fun. I found myself WHY WONT YOU DIE constantly during the fight.

Seems like you're probably bouncing a lot if you're going through shrarpness like that. I haven't found him in TriU, but in MHP3rd at least I don't recall him being that crazy hard.

Might have something to do with the fact I was only using a green sharp weapon. I wasn't bouncing but I would start bouncing if I went down to regular sharpness, so yeah whetstones were super important.

He isn't hard but keep in mind monsters got nerfed in p3rd. It doesn't help you can't have fire weapons (if you play offline) at that point either.

Is there any specific trick to getting Great Jaggi to drop that frill? Only need the chest piece to finish the set before I wander off to do every other drat thing under the sun but i've killed at least 8 or so since the first and they never drop another frill. And yes before it's asked I bust their face up every time till it's shredded and they do that flinch.

Break his face and it should appear in the end of quest rewards.

Capturing instead of killing might help your chances.

It's just a straight up PDF with your name watermarked on every single page of the guide. Yes, you can search in it though you'll get a bunch of hits if you're searching for an item since they can be used in a lot of things.

You can't free hunt it (at least I don't think you can) you have to destroy the neck thing (Which just puts holes in it a few attacks will do) then capture or kill him to complete the quest. It will only show up as a quest reward "damage bonus" (the area in blue).

So I just killed my first Royal Ludroth on my own (or whatever it's called) and was feeling proud as hell. Family then called me up so went and had to discuss something and when I came back; guess the reward screen got tired of waiting and killed itself. :suicide:

I can understand doing that for online rooms and whatnot but for solo play? That's retarded.

Once you press A on "New Game" your table is locked to that save slot. Assuming that you save the game, of course.

You can turn it back on. The charm table seed calculation happens during character creation.

You can turn it on right away if you want. It takes the time stamp from when you hit "New", do whatever after that.

Oh my god, Nibelsnarf is amazing. :3:

Can you not break his big, stupid Jimmy Durante nose, though? I cracked his ears really quickly and spent the rest of the fight hammering away at his nose, but it never broke. Or if it did, it wasn't apparent.

I expected him to be bigger for some reason! Also the first of the new guys I've been able to successfully capture on a first-time battle.

And I finally saw it. Jupiter's Sphere. loving Duramboros Hammer. It looks absolutely god drat incredible. Oh well. I wanted a set of Duram armor anyway.

Nibelsnarf's breaks are his gills, front feet, and uvula if I'm remembering my time from P3rd correctly. His nose takes more damage though. Also he has the best drat weapons, his hunting horn is a harmonica for crying out loud.

I feel better knowing you can't cut his tail. It was driving me crazy trying to get at it for the three seconds at a time it was exposed.

Okay Quropecos are literally the shittiest shitlords ever shat. Every time I take it down to limping it dodges around traps I put down in front of it. One time it literally went from standing healthy and ready to charge to instant limp-flyaway the second I started putting a trap down. The loving felyne hoard it summons robbing me blind while I'm in sniper mode don't help either.
