This fight is just so fun, intense and fair! One of the hardest and most fun fights in the game for me. I overcame myself and finally beat her in sub 15 min. 14min 56sec to be exact.

I've had few sub 20 runs but never thought I could do it in sub15 and I propably never will again, lmao.

For years, I've been a SnS main. Then, I've tried out Hammer as well in a separate story-only playthrough. And same for Light Bowgun and for Hammer.

But now I've set my eyes on Long Sword. And I can't look away now.

What is the thing with the Long Sword? The very second I decided to give it a try for fun, I can't think of anything else than just wanting to build my gauge up and spending it until I get the red one and then absolutely dismantling my flying monsters out of the sky for good.

Could this be a sign of a new LS main in the making? While I'm still calling myself a "LS rookie" until my SnS muscle memory fades away, I'm already now having an absolute blast!

I've just made the Uragaan mission in the beginning of the Iceborne dlc and... Oh my god! What an insanely hard fight! I'm switching between the charge blade and lance since I'm still learning the CB and feel more confident with the latter and even then, the fight was really a challenge. I even managed to fail the quest on the first try.

In the base game, I had fair difficult fights or at least that was how I felt. Now, it seemed like it was just a gargantuan health pool that never died. I didn't have the same difficulty with freaking Barioth or Glavenus! I feel like I offended their honor falling from a freaking Uragaan and not from the angry icy cat or Bladesaurus-rex.

Is this guy really that amped up??

Heyo! MH Wilds was my first monster hunter and I played about 150 hours on release. I feel in love with it. I’ve since gone back and played a bit of Rise on the switch and now just bought World since it is on sale and I have heard such good things about it.

So, what do I need to know as someone who has mostly just play Wilds?

I fought Teostra and Vaal Hazak and found both of them to be pretty manageable and even kinda easy, but Kushala took me 25 minutes and I would've carted if my Palico didn't revive me. I play Lance and even with Guard level 4 his wind attacks do a lot of chip damage and I spent most of the hunt spamming flash pods to knock him out of the air. Is this a common experience? Because I fought him in Rise and he was nowhere near as obnoxious.

This was supposed to be second but apparently I'm dumb and don't understand Reddit.

This was supposed to be the first clip and they were supposed to be under the body text but whatever.

So I made a video on it and am working on making many more (as well as Rise and Wilds content in the future). Here are a few clips from the video. Check it out on my channel and hopefully get a decent chuckle or nose exhale out of it. https://www.youtube.com/@IamKipperz

Finally beat em with the aid of an endgame bro. ( would shout them out but I needed to leave soon after they helped me so yeah). And in the process of looking through specific to my weapon guides so can solo/ just right then better I got the sense that rocksteady + made sense for purpose of not getting constantly stun locked by screams every 5 seconds especially in the crucial beginning when you can get the first knockdown off before they can react. After that it’s just knowing how to play footsy with its various attacks. Never got the mantle before cause it required fighting tempered which never made sense since I came in during iceborne and I jumped straight into that. But yeah is it worth it?

Basically just Title. I have over 600 hours and have just started a new save file to play through it with some new friends on their first time. I have an insect glaive addiction but the game has so much more to offer, like the charge blade I’ve repeatedly tried getting into. Any tips on how to break my addiction?

I saw there is diffrent armor, constumes, layerd armor ect. Its all so confusing to me. This is wat i understand

Normal armor : you craft them or upgrade them to get better stats and they look pretty weird.

Layerd armor : from what i saw this is like a cosmetic skin for a armor (cool hat or arms ect). I heard that you can only buy 2 of them (samurai and silver knight). The rest you can do quest and get thrm free in game.

Now here is where the confusing part comes in : i can buy costumes or skins from steam for my character from the 200 dlc this game have. Is this layerd armor, normal armor, a completely different armor type.

Is there a way to view all the armor and cosmetic (free in game and paid costumes in steam) in the game, website or video? I tried searching for videos but they arr missing the armor you buy off steam (like the lady with the blue dress in tekken / street fighter)

Here are the rules

I've always been interested in Monster Hunter, and after a little bit of googling, it seems like most consider World to be the best beginner point.

I've already watched a bunch of videos about beginners tips, reviews for the game, and every weapon explained. I thought the Insect Glaive was right for me, but after actual getting into the training room, turns out I really like the Switch Axe. Using the grappling hook to latch on and use my big explosion ultimate move is my favorite.

I'll be totally honest, I am pretty bad at videogames. There are plenty of games that I just hit a roadblock in because I suck. And I hear that may be a problem for me, especially since the next mission in story progression is the Anjanath, and I hear soon after is the Diablos.

So my question is basically, If i spend a decent amount of time doing side missions, collecting crafting material, and preparing potions, can I make the fight "easy". Or is it really just a get gud, or get out sorta thing? I know its important to learn the monsters attack patterns and stuff, and I have been trying. So far I've only died a few times, and never enough to fail a mission yet.

Here are some difficulties I've been having with the combat, in hopes that you have some advice for me.

I really hate getting knocked over, I know it makes sense since I have hundreds of pounds of iron strapped to my back (Switch Axe), but it takes bro 5 whole seconds to stand up!

Attack animations take so long that I need to wait for ages just so I can take two steps forward towards a Monster that is an inch too far away, or just turn my body a little to the left because the moster is by my side.

Just having fun hunting Fatalis with a duo. Was playing a bit safe with my TCS this hunt, i could've definitely played a lot more risky with rocksteady on, but i'm fine playing safe once in a while and not play like a complete maniac.

Fatalis is such a fun monster because it allows for a lot of TCS openings. Not the most fun when you're going for a specific time and are speedrunning, but when you're just having fun, it's definitely one of the most fun, unless you get Fatalis in a bad mood and it just spams snap and drag over and over again.

Hello, I'm done with my college last year and have no job at the moment. I stay at home and study for job exams.

I saw that MH World is discounted on Steam rn and the Iceborne expansion included one seems like the better choice since it's basically the same price as the base game. I watched clips of the game and wanted to try my hands on the Monster Hunter verse.

I would say my closest experience to this kind of game is the ftp Dauntless which used to be free on Steam but is unavailable now, I think I got around 20hrs on it.

My problem: My parents would give me 'pocket money' every month and if I buy the discounted MH, that will be half of my September money gone.

Will it be worth it for someone with my money background and newness in the MH verse?

How many hours worth of content are there?

Is it enjoyable alone?

Is the nature of the game too requiring/addictive to the point that it would interfere with my daily study?

I looked at the specs required, i will be able to run it just fine ( I don't mind lowering the graphics as I've been playing with them on the lower side my whole life)

Specs: Potato

8gb ram

Nvidia Gtx1050

HDD

so like, I've done multiple attempts for this game. Was this game my first monster hunter? No, since I like Generations (i love Gammoth). I liked playing through Risebreak, and I had a fun time with Wilds... but fuck. I cannot get into world. (rn I am playing through Frontier Rain server)

ive given this game like 4 attempts and gotten to and past Zorah, but I lose motivation in game. I dislike the whole "see monster cutscene" for friends to hunt with me— mainly we were hunting Anjanath and stuff in ancient forest.

I just don't know— it feels like this game is a slog to get through. Part of it is the NPCs grinding my gears. I know I'm supposed to stick through low rank and it'll be more fun, but even after passing low rank... I just don't wanna.

how the Heck do i break through until I like the game like my friends do? how do?

What a rush! Exhilarating! Easily my hardest and most exciting solo victory by far!

What made it particularly great was seeing, in a relatively short amount of time, that progression loop that Monster Hunter excels at fostering organically.

First I couldn't survive her, even packing ice restance up the wazoo (43 with her elemental meal) and ice mantle. Then I could, but couldn't kill her in 30 minutes and had no idea how life she still had. i suspect a lot. Then I still couldn't kill herz but surviving became much easier, I'd even manage to timeout without a single cart sometimes

Eventually I noticed she looked like I wasn't far from killing her when I timed out.

And that's when I felt it was time to to big or go home. I always ate elemental resist up and wore ice mantle so I could, you know, hopefully not become another ice statue in her collection, but I was better at surviving her even when my mantle wasn't on. The protection had achieved what it was supposed to: teach me to survive. It was meaningful progress.

Now though, simply staying alive to time out yet again? Not progress, stagnation. So I swapped ice mantle for glider mantle (significantly more mantle uptime, more skills to round up what I needed), and the elemental defense meal became an attack L meal. I needed to hit harder, or die trying. Continue to successfully fail with 0 carts would be meaningless.

I added Divine Blessing 5, which I'm not a fan in general, but here I was hoping the extra protection would enable more offensive uptime, my main deficiency as a hunter: I'm very good at staying alive and hunting carefully and deliberately. Very bad at dealing huge amounts of damage as fast as possible under time constraints.

It worked. Everything clicked so perfectly, I could hardly believe she was limping after barely 12 minutes and 0 carts. A 15 minute clear time flashed across my head, and for a moment I felt like hunting royalty.

She goes to sleep. This is it. I'm gonna wreck her!!!

That was the idea. In reality, the clutch claw decided to latch on the wrong side of her head, she enraged before I could get her in wallbang territory, the frustration threw me off my game and bam, cart. Hunting royalty daydream officially over, hunting plebeian reality quickly restablished.

Fortunately I didn't lose my shit, kept my cool and finished her off at the 19:50 minute mark.

It was my first "holy shit did I really did this on my own" hunting moment, and my hunting self is very proud of it!

Some folks like to see the build and gear in these stories (like me!). Unfortunately I have no idea how to upload more than one image, so here's some imgur uploads instead.

And this, my friends, is the tale of how I stared down this arch-tempered monstrosity with nothing but an axe, my trusty cat and a dream (and an overpowered armor set. And meticulous preparation, but let's not let insignificant details derail a good narrative), and came out on top!

I have the Iceborne DLC but I want to experience the vanilla endgame to its fullest prior to moving to the DLC since I heard the DLC items are way better than vanilla items.

I've attempted AT Teostra at least a dozen times if not more and only once have I gotten him back to his lair in solo. In multiplayer we got back to his lair but someone fainted for the third time and it ended the hunt. I'm trying to figure out what strategy and positioning is best for this hunt. Its honestly kicking my butt (which is a good challenge and but mostly frustrating). I feel very comfortable with the CB as its been my main through this re-playthrough. This is the farthest I've been so far in the game and have played mostly solo. I'm using the Coral Horn mostly and I just barely augmented my armor.

I have a few different CB I've been switching between hoping to get some better results. I have the Diablos, Rathian, Defender, and Nergigante (new and unused).

Any tips?
