Barroths head actually takes very little impact damage. Be wary of where you hit.

Karanas posted:Man there must be some trick to the hammer that I'm not getting. I know about the charge move activated with R, but even with that it takes soooo much longer to kill monsters like Barroth in HR compared to my dual blades like bloodwing and firestorm. They both have attack power 196 while I also use the breathcore hammer with an attack power of 782. I'm much more familliar with the dual blades so maybe that's just it, but is there a technique with the hammer that I'm missing? Superpound by default, triple pound when the monster is stunned or just tired out and you have time to get it off, dash charge (don't charge up all the way before releasing) when there are only small openings/to quickly close distance. I also like to drop a load of bombs on a monster sometimes when I stun it. Kayamba is the greatest as he will drop one his own bombs next to mine when I do this. There is not a hand in the world big enough to give that little guy the high-five he deserves. e: Also, yah Barroth and a few others have armored heads so your damage won't be as great attacking the head, although it will break off Barroth's ridge. I believe the weakest area on Barroth for hammers is his tiny front legs. Machai fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Mar 30, 2013 |

How can I consistently be the only person out of four to bring a trap? Do people just not bother to try it in lower rank multiplayer? Also do you get bones if you capture?

Man, these Dios Dual Swords gently caress things up, don't they? Mauled the hell out of a Gobul, did the two Lagombi quest super fast... actually fainted to Great Baggi because his minions kept sleep-shotting me. Well, that and I'm still getting used to the animation sequences, so I ended up getting into attacks and then not being able to escape. May go back to LR to adjust and practice. Can I upgrade to the next level of these before hitting G-Rank? Seems like most of my Hammers are at the point where I need at least one part that only drops from G-Rank monsters.

Carecat posted:How can I consistently be the only person out of four to bring a trap? Do people just not bother to try it in lower rank multiplayer? You tend to get more materials in general if you capture, although a very small amount of things are only from carves. Unnerving Talons from Gigginox come to mind, although I'm not sure that carried over into 3U. You're the only person to bring traps because 95% of the Monster Hunter player base has this weird aversion to capping things.

The only reason not to cap is if you're looking for low-end carves like scales.

So I'm jazzed to try out hunting horn, but I'm not sure which one to craft. I'm up to 6* village quests, so I've got some high rank materials available. The range of both damage and elemental stats AND which songs it can play are overloading my brain. Right now I'm thinking of making the gigginox coffin cause it has heal and antidote and also looks boss.

Boco_T posted:I reviewed the guide and HR Flooded Forest was what I saw had the best chances. Make sure you're searching in 2, 4, 7, and 10. The guide says there's a hidden spot in area 6 with a 32% drop rate but I don't understand what a hidden bug spot is and I couldn't find it. I think it's like that cat lair in Moga Woods. It's too bad that the Flooded Forest is my best bet. I just have to hope I don't have to farm up >12 of the drat things again like I did for the Wroggi S set. I'm going to, aren't I?

I'm in a bit of a bind. I want to get this game on 3DS, but I've heard it's unplayable without a Circlepad Pro. If that's the case, I was going to plan on just getting Fire Emblem: Awakening. So just how bad are the controls of MH3U, without the Circlepad Pro?

The range of both damage and elemental stats AND which songs it can play are overloading my brain. Right now I'm thinking of making the gigginox coffin cause it has heal and antidote and also looks boss. The only horn worth getting is the Agnakdion. It is the worst fire horn if your goal is deal damage, but it is the best if your goal is be  , which should be everyone's goal.Serious: I made a spreadsheet (  ) for the different top rank horns, categorized them by element, found a damage standardization chart, and the horns you'll probably want to work towards are:Lagi for thunder. Crazy white sharpness length, great songs, the highest standardized dps. This is the best serious horn. Cons: Lacks style Zinogre for dragon (It switches in late G-Rank). Okay songs, purple sharpness, the stronger of two dragon horns. Has serious style. Uragaan for fire. The Uragaan horn has great songs, including negate stamina, and it's sharpness is manageable. Barioth for ice. Sharpness is low, but it has Attack Up Large, and Hearing Protection. Best songs. Best friends. The Brachy horn is okay if you like slime. It is your only choice. The Nibelsnarf horn is not that great. It is the only water horn. I won't be getting it. I didn't look at status, but giggi is the only poison horn, so it's probably okay? And baleful giggi's horn has good songs, so not a bad path to follow.

Except for very specific guns I am enjoying bows more. I find them easier to do constant damage with and its easy to always have the right element for the job at lower levels without having to carry bullets. I am only hr3 so i cant really speak for guns late game.

Is it better to use slashing or impact weapons on Qurupeco? Because I was bouncing a lot with DS, and I don't know if that was because it was too touch, or because my weapon wasn't powerful enough (Chief's Scythes).

Evil Mastermind posted:Oh goddammit. I killed quru a few days ago with Chief's Scythes. The key is to make sure that you're dodging as much as possible and keep your demon bar full. You really have to get under him to fully damage him so go in from his backside and hit him as hard and fast as you can. Also ignore any summons of his and just focus him down.

On the title screen, press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, fight Gobul a bunch of times and eventually get better at the fight because that's how Monster Hunter goes.

You should at least have a bit of a stockpile of hot drinks/paintballs/ammo/etc. built up from the supply chests. Also, if you don't wanna make drinks you can combine hot peppers or ice crystals with Well-Done Steak. Then next time you're hunting online, you can tell everyone to take some of your Hot Meat!
