the first new one I have been able to make is nerscylla's. it's poison and the base damage is higher than the upgraded starter staff :)


which attacks seem to be killing you the most

Did you have to get to High Rank to be able to craft it?

what is the LR poison res set?

I have a green sharpness weapon and I bounce just about every attack on the shark dude when he is covered in ice. Where am I supposed to be hitting? So far I just go for the early mount and easy breaks at the start so I never have to deal with his ice form.

I think the poison stat on that is actually negative, unless a negative value means "less" chance to get poisoned, or less damage from poison. Or I might be confusing it with another set from the vopcano area that starts with G.

You can make a Nerscylla and Gora Magala insect glaive in low rank, each slightly better than the last. They're pretty gated though, a ton of bug upgrades and glaives open up early in High rank.

The Gore Magala glaive is amazing btw. Pretty easy to make, but you need three tails to upgrade really early on.

Magala glaive upgrades pretty much all throughout HR as well.

If you want different I.Glaives, do expeditions until you get a biased guild quest for them and just farm them out for relics. These are also one of the best and easiest sources for nectar, as it populates all of the areas with specific gathering points just for them.

I am considering getting this. I have a couple of friends who will probably be playing this. I played maybe 3 hours of MHFU once, and that's all of the experience I have with the series. I have a 2ds, are you guys talking about mh4 ultimate on the 3ds, or some wii game? Is it worth getting if I liked peace walker, souls games, but didn't like the vita soul sacrifice game (played the demo) ?

Does anyone know how to do a jump attack off a wall while you are hanging on it? I keep trying to do a mount attack on Khezu (god bless his stupid rear end is still the same as ever) but cant seem to let go of the wall.

I'm a rabid enough Monhunter that I sunk 200 hours into Freedom 2, another 200 hours each after importing Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd and patching them, loved Peace Walker and the Souls games, and thought Soul Sacrifice (and Freedom Wars after a bit) were turds. So... try them demo, but prepare to buy the game anyways.

You get a ton of free traps from the newbie pack right now. Breaking the antenna is just such a pain in the rear end.

If carry quests got you down, grab yourself three steel eggs and make yourself some Loc Lac Gear to make those quests a breeze! Couple it with Felyne Lander and you've essentially won as soon as you've entered the quest.

Basically, hold off on mounting or trapping him until he goes into super rage mode. Then go to town on his head once he's knocked down. I also find letting the Frenzy status build up on you makes him rage faster.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Does Khezu still show weakness by standing perfectly motionless for an extended period of time? Because that was hilarious.

Good news! You didn't have to do any of those. Just the Seltas, Kecha Wacha, Tetsucabra and Gypceros quests.

Good, gently caress those.

Relics are really cool. I found a lightning gunlance and switched over from gunner to use it and it's loving kickin' rad. I guess you can't craft them into new poo poo, just upgrade them with armor spheres? Still, a rare 3 with elemental damage when I'm just crafting lovely rare 2s is pretty handy.

Do they ever actually explain trapping in MH4U? I know how it goes but buggered if I've ever seen anyone mention it.

While I'm asking daft questions, do I just want to go on Expeditions to gather poo poo or just walk out the door or what?
