Hopefully the end doesn't turn out to be charm hell and behemoth-style bosses and all the bad parts of previous games.

Thinking about Behemoth makes me just a little sad. Fighting it was such a chore; but aesthetically, i mean, look at it



that is a gaze that clearly and with malice aforethought says you are dead, little human more than any other monster I've seen yet, and I love it, trailer or not :allears:

Huh, there's an augment on some late-game weapons that I'm really curious about. Specifically, the Azure Elder weapons. One of the Rampage skills you can put on them is called Ibushi Soul and it increases your attack power for every piece of armor in the same set that you wear. Assuming I'm reading that right and it's not a specific set, I'm curious how much it increases attack power per piece. Could be interesting to have a weapon that encourages wearing a full set to get the most out of it.

The internet has led me to believe that Monster Broth is a material that exists but I've been killing insects on a high rank expedition for like a half hour and haven't seen one, so someone just tell me they're fake so I can move on

Are you killing them with your weapon or with poison bombs? Cuz if it's the latter, the desire sensor hates you.

Same but rampage is boring IMO so I was p happy about it.

Does anyone else think its way too loving busy with 4 hunters and 4 buddies? Palamutes especially are just so visually all over the place it's v. distracting and I really hate it?? I kinda wish once you were over 2 hunters you could ride your palamute and then it hosed off cuz it's actually turning me off multiplayer.

Is there any visual cue that infernal melody is charged? Because if so I'll just turn off weapon info entirely when I run hunting horn. There's just no reason for so much of the screen to be filled with the song list, when there are only three songs per horn and every song is just "button press, twice". It's so annoying.

The purple circular meter right by your sharpness bar is the Infernal Melody meter.

For any of the smaller monsters its way too much, it stops bothering me on anything bigger than like a Barroth though

made grenade launcher 2, the option to just auto-pilot on normal 1s that triple burst and hit as well as real weapons/ammo on soft spots is divine. the double tap sticky 1s are icing on the cake

Anyone getting any use out of feral demon mode? It's a fun gimmick but the damage doesn't seem worth the hit to stamina from dodging

You also get +18% ATK while in feral demon mode (not sure how it stacks with attack boosts). That alone makes me use it, though I do miss my movement speed.

Whoever mentioned 2 levels of evade extender was right, that amount of rolling around is addicting. It's also extremely good on bow for getting into orange range quickly.

Magnamalo was a really cool fight. I started the fight by running both Izuchi and Rathian into him respectively and had his tail chopped before the fight really even began. He got into a turf war with Rathian again near the end and I was able to get another mount in, delivering the killing blew with a tail flip. Excited to see how they spice this fight up in the future because even in LR I can tell he's got the makings of a really difficult monster.

It took me two tries to get a talisman with Flinch Free and it also happened to have a slot so it's almost like I have a flinch free decoration. It'll do for now. Truly one of the most exciting things to have in my talisman slot, free crit eye be damned.

Nope, if you mean the credits in town you're still in low rank. High Rank is all Hub stuff, and you'll get a quest that lets you skip right to it once you wrap up Village

Edit: It's very funny how early that first credits roll is, honestly

The mode difference is still weird to me. I tried playing the new mode and it feels weird and wrong. I can't explain why though.

For the life of me I don't understand how HBG does damage. I'm assuming it's basically just "shoot them in the bad spots" and use the correct bullet but i just feel so...ineffective. like with gunlance i can just shell and they take damage basically everywhere which is awesome

hbg just feels kinda bad, maybe it's better once you have the right gear setup for it or something

Later!
Tip for CB: capacity boost is now "load shells" and it works differently than in World and the description is terrible. Two ranks now, the first does nothing for you but the second rank instead of giving you an extra phial it now makes it so that you load all five phials with only yellow gauge. Pretty worth it I think and seems strictly better than focus which I wouldn't use on CB anymore.
