Can You Beat Monster Hunter World Without Sharpening? 

DUUUUHHH YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT SHARPENING JUST RUN BOW OR BOWGUN OR HEAVY BOWGUN DUUUUUH

Of all the choices you could have made in terms of weapons i never expected you to pick dual blades of All things because they tear through your sharpnes like crazy due to their fast multihit nature wich makes the entire run even more impressive to me

As a Hunting Horn main I completely forgot that bouncing was a thing...

"I'd make a pun about the handler being dull, but her unlikability is probably an edge case", you sly dog I almost missed that double pun. Comedy gold!

This game was my first mh game and I almost did this on accident haha. And I was using dual blades haha. Then my friend noticed I kept bouncing and was like bro you know you can sharpen right.

The best part is. That the long sword would cheese the entire challenge because of its pierce moves which aren’t affected by sharpness

I replied to this about a year late but this is incredible! Glad to see other people doing this challenge in other Monster Hunter Games! 😄

A tip for the healing items: you can easily bring crafting components for more as part of your loadout. For example, you could bring 10x mega potions, 10x potions and 10x honey, giving you effectively 20 mega potions.

Gunlance would be intresting for the next one, as it loses the ability to shell once it hits red and burns through sharpness on top, but shelling is not affected by sharpness till red

As a hammer main I really wanted to see you pick it and bonk everything to oblivion but even without the hammer this was still a super impressive video!

Great video! I would especially love to see you do the Iceborne expansion without sharpening. I wonder how you’d get past rajang’s rampage mode with the hardened arms or ruiner nerg’s armor. All in all very entertaining and I hope you get more recognition for your content.

I may be 2 years late but this still just as impressive a new to this day

Pretty sure mind’s eye retains the sharpness degredation penalty of bouncing just without the bounce animation. Additionally, your utilization of mind’s eye mechanic through weapon move sets further mystifies this choice lol

I love this video so much I always laugh when you talk about how bazel is definitely the monster that’s received the most amount of dung pods, and so does your character naming process, and the insults towards the handler

I love how you chose every weapon I main for this challenge and wound up going with the one single weapon I barely touch lmao

Doot hammer is the obvious choice. The self buff prevents bouncing without affecting sharpness. Plus you can get defense boost, health regen, attack boost, and/or heals on demand.

Super well done video, congrats on beating the challenge as well !

jyuratodus: "this fight was kinda just uninteresting" man if that isn't a bang on description of mudkip in both world and rise idk what is

Great video! Really enjoyed it

Video: No sharpness Me: sleep Video: With Dual Blades Me: You have my undivided attention.

Awesome Vid! I love your attention the the music in your video, using the monster's or local's theme. (Also Nergigante Theme is a certified Banger)

Interesting picking dual blades. My first thought goes to he Charge Blade as it has natural minds eye to work with the low sharpness

Ancient leshin is designed for multiplayer? So that's why he was so difficult...

Yes, with ranged weapons. Seriously though, with melee weapons, this’ll be interesting.

This is insanely well done and I hope this channel will at some point get the recognition it deserves

Great video man!

This was a fun watch! You kicked ass in this challenge!

Unironically thought this was like a 500k view video until I checked the comments and view count. Good job on the editing man, sharpening is pain

Im new to MHW and recently i just hit hr 49 by then and mains CB. I love how the community always has neat, challenging idea that's interesting. I really like this community, it's different. I'd love if you do more challenges like this

Hunting horn would have been an amazing choice due to it not bouncing off monsters at low sharpness and it's sound echo attack ignores sharpness and always does the same amount of damage; same with the melodies.

My first play through of mhw was dual blades and I loved the beyblade attack especially on xeno. It feels like a proud father watching their kid go off to college lmfao. I’m gonna go play mhw again

creates challenge where sharpness is an extremely valuable and limited resource so every ounce of sharpeness is a commodity to be hoarded frugally. Chooses the weapon that tears through sharpness the most.

As a dootstick main I think the horn would actually make this challenge easy, at least mechanically. Self-improvement is a hell of a drug.

Blunt object: gets blunter. Bluntness: INTENSIFIES.

I'm not quite sure on my favorite monster from World, but Odo is defo up there. As embarrassing as it is to say this, when I started World I mained Charge Blade. That in and of itself is far from embarrassing, but I didn't have a clue what I was doing with it. I didn't know anything about shield charging or Super Amped Element Discharge (SAED). But during that mission where you first fight Odo, I found the little dude who gives out items on that level and he gave me a power seed. I ate it, and soon after was fighting Odo. Now, at some point, things just lined up in such a way that over the course of the fight I apparently charged my shield, and one time when Odo was on the ground, I went for what I thought was the normal Amped Element Discharge, and suddenly it was like the hammer of god came down when instead the SAED happened. I was so fucking confused, I thought it was actually caused by the power seed I ate earlier. It still makes me laugh thinking about that time, and is one of my better memories from World.

This is amazing lmao, good job man

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="781">13:01</a> that YEAAHHH. Made me think of the dude who won the lottery on Fallout NV

Im surprised theres no mention at all of hunting horn, what with its self buff song giving you the effects of mind eye. Sure it may not be in the spirit of the challange, but it should have had at least an honorable mention.

I love the “Fundamentals: Sharpness” tooltip the game shows you at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1430">23:50</a>. Lmao.

As someone who’s played DB since 3U, you LOVE to see it 👏🏻

To make Luna's fire nova easier to survive use astera jerky it recovers the red portion of your bar.

Glad to see people doing a challenge I just do by accident most of the time 😂

I think its pretty cool that you used the respectove combat/exploration music as background music

Started playing MHW about 15 days ago, just yesterday I learned about restocking at camp... Literally completed story and Iceborn WITHOUT ever restocking my healing/buff/cleanse items, suffered a lot

Thank you for not showing footage of hurting our collective son Dodogama. It’s 2023 and I still have yet to lay even the slightest finger on my boy

The first time i booted up mh3u i always wondered if you could do it. Good to see someone actually do it

When I first played this game, when I got to odogaron I was using the charge blade but after a few rounds of dying after what seemed to be an hour of smacking it with the phial moves, I switched to the insect glaive to test it out and pretty much the entire fight was me jumping in the air, using the b move a few times and then mounting it.

found your channel off this video, super surprised you dont have more views holy. keep it up tho really enjoyed this video!

"Innate easy to access minds eye" Cries in slash axe

Waddicker when facing dodogama: Im sorry little one...

nice video, bit late on coming to recomendation after a year. but honestly cant get over the way youre saying the monsters name very funny way of saying it keep it up!! DevilHOE KEKW

wadicker. i loved this video and really like your straight forward nature. i looked around at your channel and it seems like every other video you have is over 2 hours long which is not very accessible and may be the reason your views are so low. I'm going to subscribe anyway as I seriously am impressed by the fact that you've stuck it out this many years. you'll probably never see this but have a good one

the funny thing is that your Weapon Choice made your run also that much easier, because throught Demon Mode you negate the Possibility of your Weapon bouncing of ^^' But you still did an amazing job :D thanks for that fun video

Great video and editing!!! I wish more people discover your channel

I think the most challenging weapon to do no-sharpening with would be Gunlance. Mostly because of how much the shelling and Wyvern Fire damage changes based on sharpness level.

I love vaal i thought he matched the rotten vale perfectly he is my favorite monster a dragon made of full death

You may have avoided sharpening the weapon but you certainly sharpened the mind! Ok I’ll see myself out-

*Invaded Kadachi's territory* *mugged him for a single scale and leaves* Chad

This challenge is a cake walk for a HH user since sharpening is almost never needed to begin with it and it has native minds eye

Getting recommended these videos on world is making me go back and actually play the game because I quit before I got past the tutorial quest but got back into MH through rise

I'd use Charged Shelling Gunlance. Shelling damage would be crap without sharpening, but at least you'd have consistent, non-hitzone dependant damage. But your challerge run was awesome! Great video!

This was a genuinely impressive feat

Man, as much as I love dbs, I probably would've picked sns for this type of thing because of how sharpness heavy dbs are, plus sns being pretty good in world and you can just use the shield for kos and avoiding sharpness loss all together

Puddle pods break the mud on barroth without having to use your weapons lol. Figured that out on accident the other day.

I might be wrong, but something deep in my brain is telling me the game adds 1 successful hunt against Dodogama to your journal after your first encounter with it. That could be entirely made up and I've just convinced myself that's the case, but it came from somewhere

"flashing her to keep her at bay" ... :D Nice

Me: minding my own business when suddenly Bagelgeese

Just starting the video, I'm surprised Insect Glaive wasn't one of your choices because the airborne attacks and kinsects don't bounce. Though I guess that would ruin the point of the challenge like the clutch claw 😂 Also happy 3 years to this video, good to see this game kicking back in recently

Holy shit, I've been playing rise so much recently and forgot how cool the monsters look in world

U need more subs man you make great and entertaining content

“and i take this opportunity to make the two kiss” LMAO 😂

*Laughs in SwAxe Sword Mode* *Laughs in EBurst* *Laughter slowly shifts into sobbing*

You could also go hunting horn since you never bounce of a monster

Hell yeah you can indeed beat Monster Hunter World without sharpening....go gunner.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="86">1:26</a> as a gunlance main, OW MY FEELINGS

The tail cut on xeno was so fucking clean holy shit

If i was ever to play this game I'll be using sword and shield, Like it's just too practical

I bought it when it was only Ten dollars and it was my first MH game, I completed it and didn’t even know you could sharpen your weapons 👁‍🗨👁‍🗨

Awesome video!

I’m a year late but this vid smackssss you deserve much more attention keep up the work

Just a small note, Swaxe does also have built-in minds-eye. But, in Iceborne, it heavily relies on a modified clutch-claw-esque attack so I understand not using it regardless.

underrated video, new sub

Well done I’m proud another dual bladist

when I 1st play this game and it's actually my 1st ever monster hunter game. I I hardly sharp my weapons. the only time I need to is when I realized I doing little damage and keep bouncing off the monster when hitting. so I beat my 1st 4 bosses without sharpening without knowing it. XD and your dual blades was the best weapon for this run. only because when demon mode you can go pass through armor and do normal damage anyway. other weapons I can actually see wont help for this type of run. the biggest issue is timing your hits. if you didn't time your hits right you get knocked away and your weapon bounce off if hitting armored parts.

Ive actually done this by accident and finished the whole game till the mid into iceborne when i saw my friend sharpen his sword. I was so confused why most of my fights took so long, i thought the enemies grew better durability when they were weak but i guess i was just dumb haha.

I honestly thought you were gonna pick charge blade for this because youd basically be able to ignore bouncing all together as long as you can manage to keep your swird powered up, choosing dual blades though made for an interesting challenge video

I was really expecting you to play charge blade, mainly due to sword and shield mode where if you chargw your shield, then your sword, your sword gets a temporary minds eye, but dual blades makes this much more interesting

Thanks this was very entertaining

I was thinking about this video earlier. The easiest answer is HH because it negates bounce. Lol But that negates the spirit of your version of the run. Good video, I watched it a few months after it released and I'll be watching it again since I'm already here. Lol

Insect Glaive: "Why need sharpness when you can be an attack helicopter?"

Good challenge run! I need Stun Charm. I HATE being stunned.

Already confused that you didnt consider Switch Axe which can naturally have minds eye

I completely forgot the sharpening part of the game after it was introduced and beat the game without using it completely on accident

My anxiety watching the sharpness Go lower and lower and that he doesn't sharpen:📈

I mean I don't know if you mentioned this, but going into camp automatically fills up your sharpness again. Could've been a good work around.

"Doesnt help i decided to kill some small monsters earlier for fun" a direct sabotage for fun lmao

I don't know how i did ended up seeing this 1 year later but it was a good video lol

I'm sorry people were calling the health booster BAD? That thing has saved me on a NUMEROUS amount of hunts
