@@ammagon4519 hell yeah dude but I need to replace one of my analog sticks on my Vita the right one but once I get the analog stick I'm continuing this amazing game
I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since this was uploaded. I remember looking forward to your guides every Fridays. Anyways, I hope you're doing well, Heddy.
i immediately fought this beast after monoblos. and just like monoblos i did not know that he could get stuck in a wall. and i also want to say thank you very much for getting me far in the elder quests!!
im just feeling nostalgic and going through your guides. i used greatsword for tigrex too and its crazy that all your strategy is exactly what i did. even the part about moving the opposite direction to it turning. I miss solo hunting (no cats) and breaking a monster's moves down like this, cant do that in the new games. keep up the good work
lol, you definitely can do that in the new games, I'd really like to make guides for the newer games and stuff like I am with MHFU, we'll just have to see how things go. Current plan is to go to MHP3rd after MHFU. Thanks for watching, I'm glad it's enjoyable 😄
@@HeadHunter455 i meant like you dont see much more of abusing patterns like tigrex might roar after 2 jumps but he'll always roar after 3. so i used to run super far away and charge up my gs and by the time he lands his super jump i'd be ready to slam down on his head, he'll roar anyway so i have a huge window. in the new games the monsters move for fluid, which is good of course but im not gonna lie i miss abusing patterns like that haha
Are you new to this game? In that case welcome. I recommend you use the bow instead of Gs. The main strategy still applies but the bow just gives safety cause you can move while charging and you can HIP fire the Tigrex cause he is big. Not to mention the distance you have, you almost only have Half the moveset of Tigrex you have to worry about.
At 4:54 I said that Flashbombs are only really recommended for Gunners because it makes Tigrex too unpredictable. Since then I understand more about the game and its mechanics, and using Flashbombs actually does the opposite, the best thing is that it will prevent Tigrex from running around everywhere and doing insta-charges which can actually make using melee weapons a lot easier, especially if you can block his attacks and retaliate as he recovers. It can take some getting used to of course, remember not to attack when it's not your "turn." All that being said, I didn't want to use flash bombs or too many items for these early videos, to show how to do it without them. In later videos the gloves absolutely come off and I don't pull any punches in G-Rank and neither should you, but yeah. Using flash bombs on SOME monsters *does* make them more unpredictable, Rajang is a great example of that, but any monster where being flashed keeps them in place is probably a pretty good use, Rathalos and Rathian are good examples of that. It helps that it lasts for 30 seconds on Tigrex and monsters did not build up resistance to item usage in this generation like they do in later ones. Sorry about the bad info there.
I just beat tigrex which makes me officially farther along than I ever was playing this as a kid, and it's thanks to you. I was lowkey shaking when I did it, I know I'll prolly hit another wall soon but I feel like you just helped me unlock the rest of this game lol.
That's really awesome!! I'm glad to hear it 😊😊 Keep it up! Tigrex is unusually difficult in this game, unless you use Lance basically. I'm glad you'll be experiencing more of the game, I hope you have a great time with it! 😄 Thanks for watching 🙂
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx No someone did it with low rank gear and finished it properly although its very nerve racking. And I honestly tried it , I did though but I failed, since I killed Tigrex but didnt collect enough popo tongues. Plus a sidenote Tigrex here had lower hp than normal. The mission level 1 only ," Sinking feeling"
@@pauloazuela8488 You can farm Tigrex materials here for money because of the reduced HP but you need to get all the Popo Tounges in time so get all the Popo Tounges first before fighting Tigrex!
You Finally Bring Out My Eternal Rival.... The One Who Marked the beginning of the Hunter....The Roaring Raging Wyvern of Madness and Strength himself....My Favourite monster...and one of the most honourable as well...i hold a profound love and respect towards this creature. Anywho...My Question is...What are the The Top Two monsters that you love Hunting In the whole of MH Franchise...
Not really sure tbh. It's hard to say what my favorite is, but I have a few favorites, like Tobi Kadachi, Zinogre, Nakarkos, Rathian... Dunno really lol
If I could be a monster, I'd be Yian Garuga. He is really smart and has a ferocious roar. He might not be the strongest but he will kill you with intellegence.
@@1TheVelociraptor Gypceros looks dumb (sorry for the gypceros fans) and tigrex is aggresive. I'm not like that when gaming so I feel like Garuga is best for me 😉
i remember being filtered by tigrex back in my first mh experience. Thats why i love him so much, because he basically taught me how to properly play monster hunter.
He's definitely very different from most monsters... I wouldn't necessarily say him being in the game makes it better or anything 😅😅 I think he's a lot better in the later games.
@@HeadHunter455 my game back in days was freedon 2 and unite too. Today i feel like tigrex got nerfed so hard. Or the game just became easier? Its sad too see i only need few minutes to kill him in rise/sunbreak
Finally beat this mfer today after being stuck for months. Best feeling of my life. Your guide helped a lot lol it became so much easier once I started using my brain cells and looking for openings
Hey! Haha, great job!!! Keep it up 😄😄 Tigrex is a very difficult monster, there's really such a small margin for error throughout the whole fight, it's ridiculous. Thanks for watching! You're doing great 🙂
I've been playing through FU for the first time and your guides have been my go-to when I'm stuck or just need some tips, thanks for all the hard work putting these together, they're fantastic.
I remember my first Tigrex hunt just because how badly I got beaten up by that thing. I walked into that fight with full confidence that it couldn’t break through my Gunlance shield, then it did that triple-boulder attack while I was right up in its face and it one-shotted me with my shield up. I didn’t mentally recover from that attack for a while
oof, it's rough honestly!! If you have power juice though you can block infinitely for its duration because it gives you infinite stamina, you could maybe give that a try. Personally I find Lance to be the best choice when fighting Tigrex 😌
😄😄 That's great! I'm glad! And yeah haha, oof, when I was making the Lao video my heart was a pumpin, I kept feeling like I was gonna fail the quest or something lol, definitely felt similar on some of the side videos vs Tigrex T.T
I've been playing MH for several years now, hadn't been having much trouble with MHFU up until this point, and this quest STILL got me frustrated. That damage, those hitboxes, getting tripped if you graze any part of him, etc. 2nd gen really is something else. This guide was a big help!
Yeah! Tigrex is honestly one of the worst parts of MHFU IMO :( even worse than Plesioth lol Fortunately, after... years... I found out that Lance is actually kind of insane vs Tigrex, and I'd highly recommend you use that against him if you're still having trouble and/or farming for his gear. In low and high rank you can use a GS and head snipe him like in this video, and it's fun and pretty effective though risky, but in G-Rank, the Defense modifier and higher stagger limits make one hit staggering Tigrex with a level 3 charge impossible without very specific equipment (or some level of management of that stagger limit which feels dicey at best) that I didn't want to expect players to get when following my series, so I had to find an alternative, and I'm very glad that I did. Here's that video if you'd like to see it 🙂: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wk8PWuIc3ng.html I also defeated him without leaving 1★ village using the Lance, it's that good: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g8f7_Yte7wo.html Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could help! 😊
@@HeadHunter455 I actually like Lance in the later games but I wasn't completely sold on it in FU yet. I'll definitely give it a try! Update: Your Lance strat was super easy. I underestimated how much damage guard pokes can still do!
HornPub answered my call of letting me farm tigrex 😌 your guide on turn timings helped a lot! Thanks! got full tigrex set but later ditched for azurath👍
So the Urgent Quest has just been handed to me. Your vids have been great help man, but I am nervous af lmaooo. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for your vids!
Hey that's great to hear :) I remember being nervous before fighting new monsters, you don't get that feeling too often :P Thanks for wathcing! I'm glad you like em, good luck, you got this! 😄
Thanks for this. Im a newbie but farmed like hell for materials coz games like freedom wars and dark chronicle taught me to always come prepared. I was gathering resources during a treasure quest, when i ran into this guy. I already had a rarity 3 hammer because of my farming, but he still clapped my cheeks. Then decided to go back to farming and strategize. On that very next mission, a rathalos wanted a 3some with me and a genprey. >.
oof haha, yeah no problem! Tigrex is a bit of a problem in this game unfortunately. The only weapon that can consistently deal with him in my opinion is Lance, but in low and high rank, Greatsword can work quite well too. I hope you're having a great time! Keep it up 😄
After years of waiting, Finally charge up PSP. Turn on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite [MHFU]. Get after the one that got away. Study Tigrex' patterns and wait for openings to strike. cue trembling arms After the halfway point, finally slay the beast. Almosy yell, "I'm not afraid of you anymore!" Nostalgia, man. This is all happened just an hour ago. Great video btw, really helped, I actually went and used a LS, because I was a bit jittery during the whole thing.
@@HeadHunter455 gonna take me a few if not several hours to farm Tigrex at this rate with Eager Cleaver. I'll try my blade at Kirin another date to upgrade said Eager Cleaver.
Thanks for the guide as always. Been playing this series for almost a decade now and have always used the GS when fighting him for all that time. Been thinking of starting fresh and learning how to guard lance him instead, got any tips/exp you can share to help me out? Been grinding the Black Belt Lance in prep for it lol
You could get some evasion or guard skills. Evasion skills might be a better time if you can get the hang of backhopping through his attacks. I made a gunlance video, it went... alright, lol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q_CG124qVGA.html You can kinda use that to get a general idea I guess. Maybe I'll try lance but I'm not very good with it.
HeadHunter455 Thanks for the advice, just got done watching the video! Personally not confident at all w/ my Evd Lancing so I’ve gemmed the Hermitaur armor to Grd+1, hopefully it’ll be enough to slog through his charges unscathed. Also on an unrelated note, I’ve also watched your Plesioth guide and I hope you give guard lancing a shot w/ him if you have the time. He’s fairly easy to lance cuz you dont have to worry w/ the janky hitbox from the checks. Keep up the vids mate! ^^
np, I hope it was at least entertaining haha Guarding is a great alternative to evading, I'm not sure the specifics of the armor skills though and how it affects performance. Thanks! :D I'd like to fight each of the monsters with different weapons (probably in low rank, we'll see) eventually, just to help give an idea of how the fight could go, Lance vs Plesioth sounds fun 😄
I got to fight this in monster hunter rise and it’s unironically one of my favorite monsters after learning him both from this and learning his patterns
😄 I'm glad to hear it! Tigrex is a bit annoying in the early games because we don't have much to counter his stuff, but in later games he's pretty good, I think 🙂
@TNTelephant yeah, it's really rough :/ They didn't give us enough in this iteration to deal with his bs lol, that's why I stick with lance for this fight. Good luck!
I read online comments before I downloaded the game, as to which is the best monster hunter game for psp, people's complains about this game are the camera controls, I honestly don't have an issue about it even fast paced fights like this I can manage to adjust everything, this is my first monster hunter game and it is so darn good
Hey! Glad you're having a good time with it, I hope you continue having a great time, I think MHFU is a *perfect* place to start. Yeah, the camera controls on a PSP can be rough because of how it was set up, on a modern controller it's a lot less annoying, but either way, tapping L to swing the camera behind your character also makes camera control very simple and effective, and even with a second analog stick, people should use it.
Yeah, he's really tough unless you're using Lance IMO Various things can work in low and high rank, but in G rank, if I'm solo, I'm grabbing my big shield weapon.
Yeah, he's really tough unless you're using Lance IMO Various things can work in low and high rank, but in G rank, if I'm solo, I'm grabbing my big shield weapon. While everything is possible solo, multi-player really kinda let's you play how you want, it's much more enjoyable with others.
Yeah, Tigrex is really tough!! Try and stick with it, if you're really having a lot of trouble you can try using Lance. I fought Tigrex at the start of the game with a lance and it went sort of well; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g8f7_Yte7wo.html Good luck!
Nice vid and nice guide welp time to hunt me some Tiger/dino meat. Welp wish myself luck. Also: 2:21 well it seems that unlike Garuga the tigrex was ready for that kick (no offense dude)
😉😉😉 lmao no offense, I get hit a lot for comedic effect and stuff like that 😜😜 I mean, I'm definitely not that bad normally.... aha.... for sure, definitely not 😅😅 :P
Id say the snowy mountains was a pretty difficult map to fight tigrex in , it was pretty claustrophobic and he will be in your face a lot. If not for the exploitable wall chomp. In the desert it was much easier , mostly because of more breathing space.
thanks for adding that beggining part in, too many people ive heard mispronounce tigrex as ''tea-grex'' like what? you dont call a tiger a ''tea-ger'' do you?
I have a long way to go. LOL I just started playing this game on ppsspp emulator yesterday, and lately I encountered this in my gathering quest. Luckily, I survived running away. 😂😂
I've killed that thing even when I'm in level 3 quest with longsword "fallen" and some bombs at exactly 20 minutes. I failed during first try because I ran out of time to return to camp only realizing that I have to bring farcaster next time
I have just started this game on emulator and i am new to this game and your videos are very helpful , can you make a video on weapons and armours , like which weapon to take , which armour to take , advantage, disadvantage
If you follow my guide series I recommend an armor set in each one, it should translate to bowguns as well, as for weapons, there is a very useful guide that I use all the time here, though they don't cover bowguns, only bows: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283 I hope you have fun with the game! 🙂
😣😣😣 He's a really tough fight!! As you get better at the game (and better equipment) I'm sure you can lower that time and get hit less, if you wanted to. If you're using a weapon other than GS, maybe check out the other Tigrex videos I have, I've covered almost all weapons vs Tigrex by now except Hunting Horn and Lance
Your video is helping me aince the Giadrome and then now i'll face this Tigrex, is it okay to use LS against this monster? Cause u use LS in every guide and then I start using it and kinda mastering it because of you, and now you change to GS, should I learn the GS for this monster or LS just enough?
Hey, glad to hear it! 🙂 Longsword is a great weapon, but I think GS is one of the better matchups for Tigrex. I have a video of Tigrex vs Longsword, but it didn't go very well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ArMzApkPmxU.html Feel free to experiment with things, even if I don't necessarily cover it. Thanks for watching, I hope you have a good time in the game! 😄
no one asked but. i just beaten the "land of tremor" key quest. not gonna lie it was very easy I just needed the right strategy using flash bombs. and i also rewatched this for some help too and i finally perfected the art of rolling under it's arms.
I try to not use many items like traps and flash bombs and stuff, so I can give examples for what to do if you run out or don't want to use them. Definitely feel free to use items like those though.
Not against Tigrex, but I've used Lance against Plesioth and KutKu :/ I guess you could check my gunlance guide? I don't use the gun part of it, and the attacks are different, but maybe similar enough?
How do you cut the tail with GS? I'm an LS, SnS, and Hammer user, but I'd admit that GS, HBG, and Lance are becoming my favorites. I find Tigrex to be one of the hardest monster to hunt, even with LS and SnS which are my two most used weapons. But I do find using GS against Tigrex is actually easier, but I would love to hunt it with Hammer.
Tigrex is a massive pain in the ass, ignore everyone who tries to brag about how easy it is, they're idiots lol I'd say that GS is the best match up vs Tigrex IMO, but you can make a few things work. I also think Dual Blades worked pretty well too. To cut the tail with GS you should do what I'm doing in the video but instead of aiming for his head as he turns around, just attack his tail directly. Since his main form of attack is to charge at you, you'll often find yourself behind him, even if it's just an unsheathe attack, hit his tail as much as you can and it'll come off eventually. Good luck! 😄
@@HeadHunter455 Thanks. I managed to cut the tail just hours after I posted this comment. Lmao. I had to resort to using 3 Shock Traps (2 from combining) in order to properly cut its tail, and then capture it. Now I just need its Skull Shell.
I was hunting him last night. I wore a cenataur set because of the sharp sword and sword sharpening skill and the ravager blade because of the +8 defense but since I don't know how to outrun him most of the time, I usually die 2 times before I either abandon the quest or try and last for a while. The first run was great. Died 2 times but I broke his claws, tail and captured him. Now I'm aiming to get some parts for a decent tigrex SnS (even tho the affinity sucks). I didn't do it alone. I'm with my cat so most of the time it's chaotic (I can't go in alone because I don't trust my ass and my cat has the true health flute, good for times when I'm the one getting hunted). With this, I might try it again but I don't know if I could do what I did way back...
Yeah, it's really tough honestly. I'd really recommend using Lance, you can do what I do in my G-Rank video if that helps at all: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wk8PWuIc3ng.html I can't find another way that is nearly as effective throughout the game. You can head snipe in low and maybe high rank at least, that's pretty fun :) Good luck!! It's a challenge for sure, but not one that is impossible to overcome 😊
@@HeadHunter455 Thanks for the tips man! I'll probably gonna retry the tigrex each time I have the opportunity. Seems like it's a good training for me to learn decent quick reflexes.
@@thegamingcephalos9412 No problem! 😄 Good luck! Tigrex is... maybe not at his best in this game lol, but there's ways around it. Hang in there, you got this!! 🙂
Hey man can I ask what armor I should use as gunner in this stage of the game? I just defeated blangonga and now at the 4 star quest and was wonder what boss I should grind for armor
Tigrex is such a great Monster to fight. And great Guide! This will help alot of people. :D You do some Weapon requests? I would ask for the Ceanataur Stinger (Lance) vs the 4 star desert Tigrex. :3
Thanks! I can maybe do that sometime, I save whenever people ask me to do things, but it's a long list 😅😅😅 At a certain point there's not much reason to go back, but we'll see :)
@@HeadHunter455 I mean you played against Tigrex with all the other weapons. But not with the Lance :c And the Shogun Lance is soo good at this point of the game.
It's fine, I tried covering this fight with most weapons, I didn't get to all of them but I did cover bow: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DAKzP5qgRs4.html It's doing a bit of sleep bombing too, but I hope it helps!!
Man us veteran hunters truly came a long way from where we were I remember playing mhfu with my cousin when I was 12 years old that was 10 years ago for me
I remember it took me many tries trying to fight this thing Everytime a Tigrex quest is up i just go "nope" But funny enough.... the next game i tried Portable 3rd.... he wasnt as bad as i thought
Yeh lol, it's definitely... a different time in MHFU. In 4u I got my charge blade, guard points, in World I got the GS tackle lmao In MHFU I got... a greatsword I guess.
@@AM-rs4yv And i also feel like its less Tanky in P3RD In MHFU on any rank it feels like forever just to kill 1 single Tigrex Also, unlike in MHFU where for no reason his attack is Dragon element damage, P3RD is Raw damage Exception being the Throwing attacks can be Ice and Fire depending the map
If they add more time for the popo tongue, with enough preparations I will definitely able kill him, like in 3 portable, I able to kill Zinogre dispute using very basic armor
Yeah I did a challenge thing on stream about that actually, it was a lot of fun, I may revisit it with a different weapon type some time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g8f7_Yte7wo.html
Either one works, they will probably reward the same things, just depends on where you prefer to fight. Definitely an argument to be made for the desert being a good choice, having such large open areas.
