I nice trick I usually use to see the weakness of a monster I've already hunted once, is checking at the Armorsmith any piece of it's set and use the resistances as a reference. For example, low rank rathalos helmet has -3 to dragon and -2 to thunder, as well as +2 to fire. Which means that you will deal more dmg with dragon and thunder and less with fire.
I'm started playing Monster Hunter since the PSP times.. really got into it when Monster Hunter 3 came out on the Wii.. but man, just by watching some of your vids I learned so much more about specific aspects of this series, it's amazing! Keep up the great work!
Can you do tutorials for hunting specific monsters? Like Rathian hunting 101 or Zinogre hunting 101 or something like that. How to break their parts, their weaknesses and strengths. How to avoid a specific technique, etc. I know it's kinda handfull but that could really help a lot. It's way different just by reading the wiki. Just a suggestion though. Great videos btw. I'm a fan! :)
That's a pretty good idea, but I think it would be better if he were to to do it on specific monster type, for example, flying wyverns 101 would include rathian, rathalos and any other monster that fights like them, with a brief over view of each monster instead of a whole video dedicated to one. Then maybe he could have a general fighting technique for all of the monsters in that category. :D
I would absolutely love a part 2 for this. Monster hunter 4 ultimate is my first monster hunter that I've ever played, and this helped me a ton. great video as usual, and keep up the good work!
I'm glad you did this one and it was great my suggestion of it was apparently already planned when I had suggested it on whatever video that was. I've got another suggestion this time too. I'd be interested in seeing a tutorial on upgrading the insect glaive, specifically the "give nectar to kinsect" portion. I get that you feed it nectar to increas it's stats but the number next to the stat, the growth points and required points are kinda confusing me. Anyway, I've watched all your MH4U tutorials and they've helped my learn a lot and, of the tutorials Ive found, yours have been the easiest to understand. Also, thanks for pointing out the ability to use potions while climbing; it's been quite helpful!
You're welcome! I'm glad you've found them helpful :) And sure thing, I've been holding off on the Kinsect video for a bit just while I gather G Rank materials, but as soon as I have what I need I'll put a video together (hopefully soon).
Cool, sounds great! I'm not very far in and some materials have been hard to get so I imagine there's some G rank ones that have insanely low drop rates.
lol funny thing is i learned about the mechanic for collecting parts by breaking them from a completely different game; snake is one hell of a monster hunter.
+Arekkz Gaming Could you explain to me why some monsters like Zamtrios have 2 damage charts with different values on Kiranico? It's confusing 'cause one says that Thunder hurts it more and the other says it's fire.
I'm a vet at monster hunter playing every NA release. I love watching MH vids on RU-vid just to see if there is something that i don't yet know (this will never stop happening) and to see how well other people understand the game and you Sir Arekkz know your stuff and made a real good vid here. Might just have to show it too my 3 friends that I got into this game in the past couple days. My friend abandoned his first seltas quest after 43 mins yesterday so I think he could use the help!
Could u give some tips or techniques on how to break a certain part of a monster to get a certain material example : breaking the head of a najarala to get chilling beak
Hi arrekz and again a nice vidéo :) I have just a question, why is your card capture for your new 3ds ? And any link for buying it ? Tanks :) ps : sorry for my bad english
Dang the zamtrios charge blade looks cool. As a hammer user I kinda feel they are a bit underwhelming compared to the other weapons, or is that just the grass being greener on the other side.
TheFlyinSquid I'm a hammer guy to but the charge blades transformation is the best for me since like I said I use a hammer too and I'm used to carry a big weapon not a sword shield combo but once I used it a few times I liked it more since you can switch between fighting styles
First time ever playing this game and I beat it in 7 hours and farmed for a few more before high rank. First time I killed gore magala I got a plate from a shiny and I got a plate from rewards. And I still have both I killed shagura magala in I think 15 mins with the a decent charge blade (Kaiser blade) it was honestly the easiest monster hunter game yet for me
+Hunter Scott 7 hours beat the game??? Okay so youre telling me you are able to skip every little cutscene without a skip button, able to skip the text, able to survive high rank and low rank without grinding for shit? And beat the game... wich means u did g rank too.... BULLSHIT you troll, go away
+Lars Heijman ok calm yourself before you BS everyone beating a MH game is unlocking the credits and that's beating the shagura magala in this one. Speedrunners only go until they beat Tigrex in Mhfu and only shagura in this one. I'm not trolling or bullshitting you I have more experience with monster hunter games then most people will ever have I've played and completed freedom and freedom unite and 3u. See how I used completed? That means I have gotten to G-rank and getting top tier gear I didn't say I completed it in seven hours I just unlocked the credits. I got extremely lucky with my play through not extreme skill if you want to continue arguing then go ahead and by first time playing it I mean 4u not MH in general
I have an Android phone and I went to the google play store and found an app called MH4U Database. I found this extremely useful for finding materials and figuring out what I need to forge or upgrade equipment. You should check it out! It's totally free!
@ newbs 6:40 is an important lesson,dont frikkin do that if you dont have an armor that can take the hit, still seeing too many guys cart because they carved a tail when the Monster went after them
In your opinion what is the best great sword and how to get it I'm doing 8 star quest but I've find the entire g as me solo do as u can imagine it's not easy
+SUPERSMASHJONY You can only get traps from crafting them. You buy Trap Tools at any store aside from the Wyporium, then combine it with Nets and Thunderbugs for Pitfall and Shock respectively.
I played a little bit of world in 2018, but had not played any other of the games (played toukiden 2 though, which is what got me into these games) I was worried I couldn't remember how to play, but after doing a practice hunt it more or less all came back to me. I'm glad I learned a bit about "world" though, as it's cut back a ton I need to learn for this game. More or less just needed a refresher on how it works.
The whole breaking parts thing frustrates me so much. Mostly because I want Gore Magla armor but I need to cut it's tail... It has a 63% chance to give a tail. No quest rewards give it so you have to chop it's tail and because RNG hates me I carved two tails and got two scales...
I only have one question to be sure about. When u go hunting a monster using a wepon it's weak against elementaly do the two numbers raw damage and elemental damage stack together when the monster is hit by the elemental strike?
I just happened to fight my first high rank rathalos and I got 3 rubies in one run! That is so insane. And because I know how Monster Hunter likes to treat me since Tri, I will be farming for rare stuff for days once I get to the G-Rank. Actually, the rare droo I have the most problems with to get is the rathian plate. I did the combo quest with rathian and rathalos quite some times and all I got was a rathalos plate from a shiny drop... ^^
there are also ability that help you to get items from Monster. Like luck or expert in capture. Also, you can take drink plus milk to eat and it will give you the ability to good luck.
Do chopped tails still stay on the floor until the quest timer runs out? this was the case in previous games and its good to know as people often scramble to carve during a fight and put themselves in danger. Sucks when play it safe and then forget to cave, but remembering is part of being a good hunter.
I actually am curious about this too. I was hunting a Gore Magala in an expedition, and i broke his tail off, i let it lie there, because i got the message that the monster was about to flee- so i figured i'd come back and carve afterward. Unfortunately, when i came back, the tail was nowhere to be found! No idea if im going crazy, or if they disappear in expeditions, or just disappear entirely now.
***** When I'm solo I just carve right away unless its a tough monster or I'm low health. But when online I usually wait for the monster to move to another area (or dies) and then carve.
temnost2 ugh, so that's exactly what happened. Thanks for clearing that up. I tried to give chase to kill it before it fled, and doing so, lost both the monster and the tail. feels bad, man. Oh well, i got all his stuff and can make gore magala my bitch anytime now, anyways.
***** I can confirm that after enough time the tails do disappear. However, as you have mentioned, they last for a hell of a long time, and I've never had a situation where the tail disappeared before the monster died.
Question: What damage type do lances and gunlances do? I now the shells from gunlances do bullet damage, but I'm not sure what type of damage do the blades do
Another note is that if you already hunted the monster, you can check the armor it makes. The same elemental weaknesses apply to the armor as it does the monster you are hunting.
probably a silly question: let's say you break a tescubara tusk, how do you obtain the broken part? I rarely find the tusk lying around, or am I just not looking thoroughly enough?
Can I ask a question? How do I carve shells from an insect? Those guys keep dying in pieces and I need those shells to craft armour. Pls I need help :(
***** Don't know if you need the Tip after 2 weeks. but you have to poison the insects, for example with poison weapons, but it is easier with poison bombs. They will not die in pieces if you kill them with poison.
After any sword attack, if you press X+A together you'll perform a shield thrust, if you then press X+A again after a shield thrust you'll then automatically transition into the Super/Ultra animation. If you have a charged shield and phials, it'll go into Ultra (which you can cancel into super). :)
1:30 how did you do that? I mean.. I have seen this move before (from other players), and after a lot of practice I still don't know how I could do it.. I already knew all of the moves, expect this one.. [When my shield is charged it's always take all of my phials] Sorry for my bad English :/ Hope u understand my question..
So first u have to either keep clicking "a" until it does the thing were it puts the blade behind u after that it does it on its own dont click r or it will cancel
Ok arekkz a friend of mine by the name of Gr1mHunt3r was playing with a guy named shadow (no caps) and the mission kill the lizard popped up neither one of use had ever heard of it and all he told me was 3 words giant pink chameleon that was it, so is this an actual monster from what he told me I'll even give you his friend code so he can tell (well chat) about the monster a bit more even giving a bit more detail (something I got from him was the name chameleos so yea that might help)
Hi, i think that it is a custom quest. People can make stuff using it, and play their own quests, its not hacking, i think, but it allows you to make your quests with any monster.
What is the best way to use the charge blade? I usually charge to charged axe mode, full sword charge, and then use the finisher, rinse, repeat. Should i use the charged axe/shield to attack, or the charged sword in axe mode to attack, or just do this?
Different people have different styles, but the way I use it focuses heavily around the Sword and Shield and then I switch to use Super (ultra cancel) and Ultra if the situation arises. For me it's usually Charge + Shield to fill phials, transfer charge to shield, charge + shield to refill phials, ultra cancel into super, rinse and repeat. The axe is obviously a really great part, but I find from a mobility standpoint being able to unleash multiple supers just lets me take down monsters quickly.
