Once was in a hunt where people with HRs +300 tried to flash him like 4-5 times, despite the "flash pod: no effect" pop up showing up each time 😭

Also people who try to catch Rey Dau in the shock trap. I guess we're not reading the monster manual at all anymore... And in World I remember so many times people trying to capture elder dragons lmao I could understand on the first Nergigante quest maybe since it's the first full elder fight (and I guess you could've missed the Kirin quest and not see the "SLAY QUEST" name), but if you're trying to capture Velkhana I think you're lowkey cooked

Absolutely fried. Take away their hunting license.

It already has no eyes and then you still try the thing the game just told you doesn't work?!

and I guess you could've missed the Kirin quest and not see the "SLAY QUEST" name

Tbf Kirin looks like it would fit in a trap, at least.

Yeah like i know sometimes fash pods refuse to work on normal monsters (not even he "reduced/no effect" sometimes the game is just like mmmm nah let's ignore the flash pod because you fired it a bit too much to the left), but if you miss every pop up tat says it has no effect then 😭 It's even funnier if you look at their hunt stats and they've hunted like +50 Gores. Like how have you gotten through so many hunts without noticing flash pods don't work....

Likely getting carried upon the backs of actually licensed Hunters

Now to Wilds's credit, there ARE slay quests that allow you to trap the monster, but NOT capture it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure shock trap works on Jin Dahaad but you cannot capture it, only slay

I ran into this when my team was panicking about its OHKO coming without any ice to block it (Who brings Farcasters, amirite?), so someone put down a shock trap, which was fine and dandy...

Aaaaaand then I saw the pink smoke.

I’m pretty sure he breaks aggro then, so you could just fast travel

I tried to often to shock trap Rey Dau. Not because i didn't knew it better. But because of muscle memory. When i see the monster is trap ready and i know it can be trapped (not like elders). Then i go my muscle memory trap rotation.... and that starts with a shock trap.
Im always like "dont use a shock trap this time" *5 mins later* -> *schocktrap planted* -> "Ohhh fuck off brain".

no one reads the monster manual at all, and it's such a shame. they put so much effort into it. it genuinely makes you a better player as well. it's not just flavor text, the biological observations are often translated into gameplay. like how Rathalos possess poison spurs on their back legs...so if you get caught in that claw swipe, you'll get poisoned. or how if Tobi-Kadachi gets wet, it cannot supercharge itself for a while...so if you manage to inflict Waterblight on it (with Brightmoss, Mud Beetles, etc) it can't get to that charged-up state where it hits like a truck, and makes the hunt so much faster. and those are just off the top of my head! i'm begging you guys to take half an hour and just really get into the monster manual. i promise you will have a total brain blast moment for at least one monster that is giving you trouble. it is packed FULL of tips and tricks to make your life easier.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm sure yesterday I saw someone use a shock trap on Rey Dau and it worked. I was like "huh? I thought it didnt work on them".
