Rustshard weapons are really good. You should probably at least care about that.

I used my Epitaph Greatsword all the way to Alatreon in Tri. I'm sure each one will be able to compete in high end G Rank. I don't know if they've done significant changes to them to make them obsolete or anything but I remember every one I got being really good.

Re: charm tables

Was this bullshit ever in Tri? Why would they make completely screwing you out of rust shards a thing?

Well you see Capcom blah blah blah they're bad

Monster hitboxes have made sense since Tri. If you get hit with Plesioth's hip check now you deserve to get hit.

You can cut tails off in axe mode as well. As for why the color is different its probably because your new switch axe has a different elemental phial.

Uncharged R-X-X-X-X might be the most damaging but I'm not sure. I mean its 5 hits compared to 3 right?!?!?! Your positioning needs to be consistently good to land everything though.

There's not much I like about Brachydios, but the obvious superiority of his weapons is by far the worst thing about him. When I can shave five minutes off HR Lagi going from his weakness to a slime weapon, something isn't right.

Brachydios owns bones Punchasaurus Rex.

If it makes you feel better if slime still exists in MH4 Capcom will overcorrect and nerf it into obsolescence.

Of course that just leaves room for them to make up something just as overpowered from that new Batman dragon.

Its good for procing status/element damage. Pressing X during a swing makes you do an alternate golf swing. If you're using a pure damage hammer there's not much reason to go for it though.

There's some fine print on page 2 that says you must kill at least 2 Peco's and then you can let time expire.

If your positioning is good you can hit Peco's head with the standard vertical greatsword swing will its standing upright.

Don't feel too bad about it. You should be capturing Rathian/Rathalos/Lagiacrus almost every time since their rarest drop can't be carved from the main body anyway.

Try to do the quest again. If you still barely complete it I suggest just doing G Rank with other people. If you see some of the other quests the game pits you against you'll cry.

If the negative skill isn't active you incur no penalty, even at -9 or whatever.

The only time marginal points in skill stats matter is actually for elemental resistances. At least i'm pretty sure anyway.

Not true in the slightest.

So its the same? +3 fire is the same as +9 fire for resistance, with it only mattering at +10?

Speedboat Jones posted:

Armor has positive or negative elemental resistance regardless. But for armor skills, even if an armor set has +/- 9 Fire resist skill, that doesn't mean it adds or subtracts 9 fire resistance.

Yea I meant the resistances inherent to the armors, not the armor skills themselves. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

The real question is is being +1 in resistance to an element the exact same as being +2 to an element?

Do you mind posting your build? I tried doing it with Brachydios X with max dual slicers & Critical Eye +3 and it wasn't enough. Jhen blew up the boat with its sand breath at 42 minutes when the gong, the binder, and the dragonator were on cooldown.

ThePhenomenalBaby

Shapness +1 huh? I figured as much.

You basically have to play completely perfect, at least with just Brachy X with one additional skill. The only reason the boat got blown up is because I predicted wrong on one of its attacks. If I hadn't I would have had the binder to stop the breath and maybe at least get the repel. Or I could have had the ship get killed on the next attack, who can say.

If there's one thing I really wouldn't mind adding is at least a visible way to tell the ship is getting close to being wrecked, if not its own life bar or something.

I'm assuming same build you used to beat regular jhen? I really don't want to fight Ceadeus at all, so I'll just wait for Savage Jho DLC and make Vangis for Sharpness + 1. I'm way too burned out on Monster Hunter at this point.

It's the G rank Deviljho set. So good luck with that.

Also don't forget that unlike most monsters he's just as dangerous in exhausted phase if you don't bother to have some meat out in the field. If he hits you with his jaws you get hit with a 25% defense down debuff which makes getting smashed by its damaging attacks even more dangerous.


I'm 1000% sure it doesn't, but does Wrath Awoken make you glow like a Savage Deviljho when it activates? It would be cool come on Capcom what are you doing????

Can you get Black Blood from the new Savage Jho arena quest? I doubt it, but I'm wondering since it'll take far less time to kill this one than trying to hunt it in the desert.

I'd say the chances of it happening are really high, though waiting for it doesn't exactly sound like a super fun prospect. If it does...I'd bet this time next year at the earliest, which isn't great.
