What about Monster Fluid? I think I read something about poisoning... something, or something. Bah. Where would I get that? Edit: Also, switching from Longsword to Switch Axe. Seems like a much more fun weapon. quaunaut fucked around with this message at 19:10 on May 4, 2013 |

Monster Fluid, Broth (HR), and Essence (G) drops off the ants, the flying bugs, and the little giggi. You can poison the bugs so that they leave a corpse behind to carve. It's better to just make a poison bomb (Toadstool + Bomb casing) than to use a poison weapon since the poison has to kill them for it to work. The ants can also sometimes drop some if you kill them after they've eaten (They have colored abdomen), but it's a small chance. Best bet is to kill Giggi in the mining cave.

quaunaut posted:Right, I've already done several cap quests- but I was wanting to cap monsters on kill quests, for the extra rewards. You can capture monsters during normal "hunt" quests and still complete the quest. In fact, it's usually the better option since you get more stuff.

The comments in that video mention some kind of HBG glitch? What are we watching here? A crazy Aby Lagi HBG build?

When you're underwater, rolling then entering siege mode from the roll allows you to fire any kind of ammo you want, even if your HBG doesn't normally support firing it in siege mode.

What's the point of capturing a monster in free roam? Just the resources? Any chance of getting good stuff from the item box, or...?

Eventually you start unlocking the boat fleet (not hugely expensive) and the farm (ranges from a pittance to  ), both of which take resources to run.I'd rather spend to get Thunderbugs and Flashbugs than farm them personally though (or wait for the lady)

When you want to send the boats out or grow things on the farm they cost resources. Rare trade items can buy upgrades, cha-cha masks/abilities, and items for your house.

What is the absolute easiest weapon to cut tails with especially underwater? I gave up trying to cut Lagi's tail after 10 minutes with a GS and getting like 1 swing at it.

Underwater, the lance is widely held to be King poo poo of The Mountains High, and for good reason, but personally I always had better luck with the Switch Axe when I absolutely loving have to have that cut, either above or under water. vv Underwater the lance Don Quixote Charge gives you such ludicrous mobility. That and multiple dodges at a time. Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 20:53 on May 4, 2013 |

The meetup today in London was pretty great - I went from HR1 to HR3 in a couple of hours. It's so much easier when people are helping you out. The monsters are really getting huge now. Druamboros is (a) massive (rear end in a top hat), Agnaktor is like a Legend of Zelda boss, and I got to help out on someone doing the Brachydios quest, where I realise that my armour is no longer appropriate, and monsters can now kill me in two hits. My next target is to kill Duramboros on my own, then work out how to get Hecudrones. Smartest guess is that they're a High Rank-only gather.

http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/list/categoryID.53786900/monster-hunter.html It says the XL one is sold out, but as you can see you can order the second run of the regular size 3DS version so I bet they'll do a second run of the XL version soon. I wish I could get that Monster Hunter Illustrations book but I think it's out of print and gone for good.

Boco_T posted:http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/list/categoryID.53786900/monster-hunter.html I have the Illustrations book. It's awesome. The insect staff weapon for MH4 is an older idea the devs talk about a bit in the book. There's a ton of unused ideas, mostly just weapon models and skins though. If you just want the pretty pictures, you might be able to find the Japanese ones without spending too much. They include a soft case to hold the book as well as a B&W book full of sketches. Illustrations covers Generation 1 and 2, while the second book (Currently only available in Japanese, may or may not stay that way) covers all of Generation 3.

So what the hell do I have to do to break this douchebag's beard? I was pounding on it the entire swim with an 832 attack hammer. Well the entire time I wasn't getting knocked around by his huge rear end fins at least.

ZTeamIsDead posted:Hammers don't tend to work well in underwater. Use the lance. I beg to differ. Every weapon works relatively well underwater, it's just a matter of learning how to use them underwater after using them on land for so long. Lance may get more mobility underwater from the torpedo charge, but hammer especially gains a lot from being able to move in 3 dimension in the "ease of bashing things in the head" category as well.

I would just like to say gently caress fighting Duramboros forever. I just need one more tailcase for a weapon upgrade and I don't know if I've got the strength of will to keep fighting for it. I just want the next water S&S.

I'm way too burned out on Monster Hunter at this point. Yes sir. Hallowed Jhen is much, much easier than normal G-rank Jhen. It's a 30 minute time limit so it has a lot less HP and, if all else fails, its easier to repel it. It's more or less the same fight, only it's phase 1 attack patterns are completely different and during phase 2, it loving books it to the ship.

Goldbeard wasn't too bad, though it did take me a clean 30 minutes to down him in my first go. I'll admit he seems to have much better aim than the regular Ceadeus.

I've got a weapon that paralyses monsters on occasion, and the animation is exactly that of the shock trap. If a monster's at a capturable health, am I able to use that paralysis (as long as it decides to trigger) and tranq him while he's paralysed by my weapon?

No, you can't tranq a monster when they're paralysed via a weapon. You'd need really good timing to get a paralysis to go off when they're weak, too.

Went to a meetup in LA today, all pretty cool guys who were all surprisingly far in the game. It was nice having some local co-op going and getting a little further in HR6. Also gently caress Gold SeaDoo fur. Edit: Also, is there any other belt other than Vangis that someone can recommend for the helios set? I have all the pieces except for belt and remember reading people were subbing in another belt to avoid the -10 sharpness. Chekans 3 16 fucked around with this message at 06:12 on May 5, 2013 |
