After the tigrex retreat, WALK to the nearest catravan and save, go to then den, if u dont get a good gene load the game

Thank you for the tips! Just got my Tigrex yesterday. Most difficult fight I've had so far, but totally worth it! I literally screamed with excitement when I saw it retreat.

I havent slept at all since I downloaded this game

Much needed guide and tips. Met Tigrex last night and my whole party took a face full of boulders. 😅

Back at it again with the gooood tips🙌🏼I retreat back now to the demo...

I’ve been loving this and couldn’t wait for the work day to end so I could play the full game

5:00 Yes, he DID do a double attack. Remember that when you and a monster counter an enemy's attack with a Double Attack, you take no backlash damage and it eats their attack that would have otherwise clashed with whomever they are going Head to Head with. The Power Attack at 4:53 is the Tigrex's second attack. The way to deal with this is through using Aptonoth's Riding Skill, since it causes a knockdown which negates the rage (which causes it to do double attacks) as well as cancels out that turn's double attack.

Thank you for introducing me to this amazing game! I have been loving the demo on switch. Enjoying the demo as cannot get the full version yet, but hopefully in a couple months

never played the first one yet but i’m having so much fun with Stories 2 already and i only have about 5-6 hours. definitely not disappointed

Thanks for an awesome tip video! So excited for monster hunter stories 2!

Thankyou so much for the guide keep up the good work tag

Thank you for this! Tigrex is my favorite monster in mhst 1 and 2!

Commenting to support the algorithm. Great content as always.

I got really lucky with my acquirement of Tigrex. I pretty much followed the advice given to me by the video. I was at least level 17 when I fought it the first few times, the third time was when I beat it the first time. When I noticed it drooling due to low health, I paintballed it right away, and it retreated after a turn or two. I even got a shiny light egg draw (where golden light shined while I was digging around). So I have this video to thank for my success. That and a lot of luck.

Can’t wait to get this game - loving these streams 🥰

I guess I need to start saving up for this game haha damn you tag! you always make me want to buy good games! keep up the good work! I'll go back to lurking

Thanks! Tigrex has been one of my favorite monster ever. And I didn’t know how to unlock him until today. Thank you so much :D

Thanks as well. That did help some with understanding the genes. This is the first Monster Hunter I have played, so it's a bit confusing for me.

Right now I have just played the demo cause I really shouldn't buy another game right now but excited to play the full game one day and use these tips!

Thank you so much. I have my own Tigrex now and I love him. One of my favourite monsties

The game is adamant that traps do not work on it. Paintballs so far have not had any effect on it, even used a moment from the final blow. Very stubborn animal.

Great Video !! Thx Dude

There is a nice spot to farm tigrex by the Harzgai Hill-Inner catavan stop as well. It's down a little hallway with a chest at the end....which will show on your map provided you don't open it....serves as a good marker until then.

I just got Tigrex after watching your guide! Thank you!

Following your guide, and he will not retreat. Gonna keep trying or continue on with the story and come back to it. I'm enjoying the content!

I love Tigrex so much. First time I saw it I thought it was adorable

Thanks! That was actually really helpful, managed to beat it at lvl14 as well. Although I’m not sure why you suggest the bow? It’s the first MH game ever for me, but I’ve used the Gunlace which can also boost the defense, since as you rightly point out the most important thing is not getting knocked out in one turn.

Good video!

Glad you made this! I mostly used it as a guide for the type of attacks Tigrex would use; it helped me plan and adjust my strategy knowing what attacks it favored. I tried to get it at level 14...got it to about 30% health, but it could OHKO everyone on the field (except for Arwin's monster, who could typically survive at least one hit). Decided to play the story a little more and came back at level 17. It was a difficult battle, but I thankfully got it to retreat the first time I beat it! I saw someone else had commented about saving before entering the den, and glad I took that advice, too (managed a diamond glowy egg my second attempt). Traps didn't work on it so I didn't bother after seeing them fail; same with trying to stun/sleep it using bow/arrows. In case anyone is looking for tips, the strat I used which worked (after getting to level 17) was: Used a defense buffing talisman/charm at the Prayer Pot before heading out, as well as equipping the best bottle-cap armor and an accessory to increase the chances of the monster retreating. The monstie I used in the fight was a Blue Yian-Kut Ku (also level 17). Used the Basarios horn to buff defense (taking advantage of that first free turn by getting it from behind), and often would have to stick to healing everyone while they all did the damage (especially when it got enraged) starting around midway through the fight. I did have to use a couple of those items to restore hearts to keep me in the fight (using up the only two I had), but it was worth it. Basically, I'd do damage where I could with the two-handed sword, but mostly I stuck with a support/healing role with a horn (I think I only triggered Ride once in the entire fight due to that).

Omg thanks for this video

Tag, you legend! Got ma baby Tigrex now ❤️

Thanks for the help

Thank you Tag for the best guides!!!

Tigrex is definitely one of my old school favourite Monsters, definitely farming for that Rainbow egg of his now

Was not interested in this game at first but leave it to tag to make me want a game lol

One thing I have noticed. Kinship attacks and double attacks prevent a monster from attacking that turn. So you can cancel one of the multiple attacks coming from Tigrex that way.

I’ve just killed it for the first time after resetting for 2 hours and was lucky enough for it to retreat. Now the grind is on for a rainbow egg.

I had very weak monsties for this fight. I beat it at lvl 14 aswell. What I did was use blue kut-ku blazeball for the burn, and pukei sword and shield for the poison and guard. And just kept my team healthy. When he was engaged I'd switch to monoblos since he's tankier if he was targeting me or my monstie though I switched to velocidrome instead to win head to head. It was hard not gonna lie. Atleast all it cost me was a few potions and life soot.

I was happy when tigrex retreats,then i followed him to his den,then i got a rainbow light tigrex first try! Thank you

If you could also put a brief description of like monster move types in normal and rage states and also the bonus conditions that'd be amazing

Cant wait to get my own Tigrex!

Thanks 😊

Loving this game so much

I found a tigrex egg in a monster den with a tigrex sleeping in it,it was on the Lamure Desert,Sadona Barrens. Hope it helps and you get lucky!😁

Tag's Tigrex Tips Time

Also get the Monoblos royal very early. Tigrex is a great early speed monster but Monoblos is an amazing power type early on.

Just got a golden egg! Hoping for great genes.

i know its a bit late but after you make monsters retreat you can run back to caravan stand and save if you didnt get rainbow egg reload and try again

Not going lie am playing the demo now and tho am not much of a story guy this game got me hooked.... I'm buy it for my switch.

Yeah agree... i just got the tigrex. Fighting it when im at lvl 17. He got quite a powerful skill one shot kill attack. My heart left 2 and alwin left 1 taking out this beast. Once he became my monstie, i notice hes normal attack is quite powerful even at lower level.

i did pretty good my first try, but~ since i didn't know how weak it was since it was my first time beating one: i didn't paintball it. next time though. I'm confident.

Tigrex is availible once you get to the Lamure desert fairly common in all den types

Decided to try this out because I read that Tigrex is an top-tier speed monstie. Only found out when I was at the stables that, due to where I got up to, I had already found two Tigrex eggs in dens already.

This monster kicked my ass like 5 times! (since I did it a little earlier) I did it with basarios hunting horn and basarios monstie alongside alwin and his monstie. I'm probably gonna try again because I didn't get a rare one. I didn't have the hearts, resources, nor balls to want to even wake it up 😅

The game looks fun 🤩 too bad I dont have a good enuff pc to play it on. But will watch you play it tho. 😁

you can get a Monoblos doing the same thing just trow 3 paintballs she is at Harazgai Rocky Hills if you want the Mammoth hes in snowy Area close to forest

Excellent video. Thanks. I just wish the switch version had a capped framerate cause boy howdy the variable framerate fucks with my eyes so badly. Contemplating the pc version because it is that bad to me.

I managed to beat the royal tigrex depite alwins best efforts (hes actually super helpful, his monstie got enough hp to tank some of its moves before mine) and he was a useful member for the entire story, moreso than ratha cause of that insane attack

I wish the buddies were optional, I feel like it would be easy to cheese it as soon as you come to Alcala if you just used Gunlance and Aptonoth

I love the demo. Game is not in budget right now. But hopefully soon..

I got super lucky just got a egg after reaching the third place and I got a rainbow trait on it as well.

Thank you for the guide! I got my tigrex and leveled it up. Problem is, he never uses lock on on its own, which means he keeps missing its heavy spear. Am I missing something?

The bull hits hard to he is in the same top 10 none element monster

I'm lvl 22, I have seen him sleeping 3-4 times and havent woken him yet. I'm about to!

Managed to take down both Royale Trigrex(5 tries) and also Monoblos(3 tries) and gotten their monstie forms, all that before even getting Ratha to join the team, lol

I’m so nervous to face this monster lol.

so need bit of help trying to take the thing on consistantly (4th try at it and im 1 and 3 in win/loss respectively team is narg, ratha, zamtrios, veloci, g.jaggi, and yian while working round the point when avinia is your pal curent equipment is a lvl 1 barioth gunlance, that spider's hamer and great sword with a lvl 2 ketcha watcha armor and to round it out a revival (s) talisman anything you or the coments recomend i try to find and change up to see if it works better?

Got one with a rainbow gene 👏🏻

I'm thinking about getting this one. I have a friend who I'm trying to convince to get it too but he said he might feel bad working alongside monsters he's killed so many of in World and Rise

All you need is pukei pukei for technical and nargacuga for speed and minimum level at 13, baumfäller to use guard and duramboros amor for best defense, these need to be maxed out and can be forged at Rutoh village and a adamant charm active to lower damage from tigrex rock throw and of course paintballs. If you have all of this then your golden!!

i beat this with alwin and trap locked it till it became enraged then tried to do double attacks wasnt consistent but it put him in his place to no turn tigrex to a degree making it easy just grind traps after you get the recipe from the feline easiest way and the best way to do so

Got an amazing rare egg of it without trying

Beat it at level 11. Took a few tries.

This is my favorite monstie tigrex

i thought mons where kinship locked so even if u got him u could not use him till ur kin stones like lv5 or did they change that from mhs1

Also don’t forget if you break the head while it’s in an shock trap that greatly increase your chances for retreat

I hatched a royal Ludroth. I didn't know that was possible

Got mine by walking into a rare den in sadona barrens didn't need to fight just walked up and stole its egg wish I fount this video sooner didn't no you could get him before .

I got a tigrex from a rare den in the Sadona barrens

How do you have so many tabs? Do more tabs unlock for the monster page? (like that stats page, I don't have that)

how would ya recomend gunlance vs tigrex?

4th time watching this. Gotta study my monster foe!

Got the tigrex at lvl17 with atk and hp +2 some decent gene, got him on my 2nd try, coz it didnt retreat in my 1st try i ddnt even have atk prayer just use pukei pukei poison and im with alwin not avinia.

Omg you weren't kidding about your NPC companion getting one shot. Took me 4 tries before I finally beat Tigrex cause my companions kept fainting!

u get tigress in dens around 4-5th town

Just now after watching this video, I found two Tigrex gold eggs back to back 😅

When or where do u find that armor u are using?

When do you get Glavenus? I just reached the volcano town so am I close

Fun note! I found a tigrex once! My character got instakilled from its boulder and I noped out of there. Kinda regret tbh…

I think actual advice at low levels is: pick a god and pray. The major deciding factor for this fight is going to be whether the Tigrex will attack you or your partner, and stacking up kinship moves to cancel out the worst attacks when possible. It’s doable, but if you’re just playing casually and aren’t minmaxing the hell out of your team it will be difficult. I spent about half a day fighting it and most of that was losing or beating it but it not retreating lol. Basarios and a semi-beefed Ranmar saw me through in the end, and I finally got my egg.

Took me 3 hours to make this monster retreat at lvl 13 good lord

Nargacuga: helps him get a tigrex egg. Him: repays it by deleting it forever

How are using a companion after you leave the area

I am later in the game and I use the Tigrexs hammer

So i managed to beat Tigrex at level 13. But i was kinda lucky tbqh. I maxed out Basarios armor.

Remember how useful mine was in the first game, a powerful fire element build that hit with a very high average for damage. Though it was never as good as the sheer stupidity that was waterblight deviljho haha.

Lvl 14 with max lvl tetsucabra armour and still getting 1 shotted,only have 1 life powder to heal heart

i'm confused here, i got the royal tigrex and royal monobloss before i even got the nargacuga and i had elwin and shualk with me why is my game different? shaulks ice made retreat increase.

Question to the community. I managed to beat tigrex and I'm farming the eggs, but I can't find any rainbow eggs. The best I've been able to get are gold. Is it possible to get a rainbow egg from a royal monster?
