Love that he really is basically a big bully. Picks on the weaker but runs in fear of the stronger and bigger. And Coral is even better. Overall Pukei, while not my favorite, definitely deserving of love.
Challenge idea off the top of my head: Roll a new weapon for every main mission - You might get to try new playstyles and it should be a big run that you could split into parts with a ton of potential for usually easy challenges becoming hard and usually hard challenges becoming easy! It's also a very streamable run, if you ever decide to go that route, due to possible required farming!
Fun fact, Kulu and Anjanath have a very similar, or even the same roar animations. I always thought it was strange for the roar to come out immediately, and then Anja just throws a tantrum for a while.
You can trade guild cards and get a level 50 palico with a meowlotov from someone online. Technically no co-op, because you don't even need to play with the person - just join their lobby once. 2 Meowcanoes should be enough to down Blackveil Vaal hazak.
That's JUST as much of a rule break as using bombs, one of my rules at the beginning of the run was no mods Also, the time limit is a natural part of the game that adds a complex issue for me to deal with. If there was no time limit, ANY challenge run could be possible. But that's not really the point
You want more challenges ? Try the backwards challenge .. there are attacks that hit behind you so you never try to actually look at the monster you go by sound and slapping backwards into it :P playing by audio is an interesting attempt
Idea of challenge run pretty simple but not as simple as well can think : Beat MHW(I) without using endurance AT ALL like ANY (so obviusly no hammer or bow or kinsectglaive)
Handlers are assigned to hunters when exploring uncharted territory not currently overseen by The Guild. Hunters had Handlers when exploring the New World since basic Guild amenities weren’t in high stock. The new area we explore, the Forbidden Lands, appears to be in the old world but off in a place that was restricted by the Guild due to lack of exploration in the area. The insane weather we see in the trailers may be the reason The Guild never went in there beforehand but now with this strange kid with us we may be trying to get him back home. Also the Hunter and Palico are now fully vocied. I actually really like this since now you and your buddy will be active participants in conversations and give input on situations and plans and also your Palico will now inform you of what they’re doing and if they’re using a support move directly instead of you needing to glance to the right of the screen to check some text.
The spikes in the ground are possibly fulgurites. Basically they're created when lightning strikes sand. But that doesn't answer why they thin out at the tip.
Challenge idea: MHWI but you cannot upgrade anything. E.g. you can craft any weapon outright, such as deviljho or bone or iron weapons etc from the smithy and armoury. However, you cannot upgrade any weapons at all, no kinsects, no weapon upgrades, nada. Armour you can't use armour spheres to upgrade their defense. This also includes augments, has to be base weapons and armour with tho upgrades at all!
10:10 I take it as her glasses being made from an in-game analog of mother of pearl or abalone shell, materials that produce similar patterns, rather than the obvious acetate frames :p To be fair, some NPCs even have rimless glasses which I'd wager are also a relatively recent invention (nevermind bowgun variable magnification scopes) so I'll let the modern library look pass xD.
45:03 : The Spinys Ceratonops are the males, and those who aint got nothing are the females. *3 fun facts* : 1; The males protect the herd from lightning because of their lightning rods like spikes. 2; The more a male got big spikes, the more he gets b*tches, as the females feel more confident to sleep close to them, as they protect them from the lightning. 3; The scene here isn't a massacre, it's just a sleeping herd, confident on their males to assure lightning protection. (Time i said "Lightning" counter : 4)
Ive got a spit ball theory for you. Awhile back in japan they released a equal dragon weapon model thus conferming its canon. What if with all the left over foundations this is a ancient civilization area and the boss ends up being a equal dragon weapon instead of a elder dragon.
