If you are talking about the story quest, once he heads back to his hidey hole and falls asleep, he won't leave and also will fall back asleep. You can cheese the fight from that point by bombing him and running away. Travel back to camp, get 2 more bombs, run back and repeat until dead.

The parts that were clearly filmed by the B-Unit and not the A-Paul-W-S-Anderson-"That's-My-Wife"-Unit were really entertaining and goofy, and they really made me want an over-the-top, live-action-anime-style Monster Hunter movie, instead of the phoned-in crap we got. It was also needlessly gory in that all the military folks from the beginning of the film die in horrible ways, when they could have just been left behind in our world to let Milla Jovovich's character be ~special~ and do wild monhun stuff. The palico scenes were lovingly rendered, as were the monsters themselves, at least.

I've got Magnamalo hunts down to sub-7 minutes, and that's even with the slow spawn and having to change locales once. Gotta say though, I have NO idea what I'm doing so differently that lets this guy Im seeing do this fight in 2:50. His build is different from mine, but I feel like I should be doing...more damage than him? He has Ammo Up 3 which gives him a single more Sticky3 and Slice shot, but with fastest reload that doesn't seem like it would make a difference, especially when instead of that I have Weakness Exploit 2 and Crit Boost 2? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMHLrJ_CuBk

How many of you fully bird up before reaching the target monster? I'm honestly kind of lazy about it and just pick up whatever is along the main road or the most direct shortcuts, and then just whatever I run into when the monster moves. The bird gathering is one thing I'm not too fond of, though I do get their value for sign posting. If they didn't have the attack birds I might mind it less.Huxley posted:Which piece is this?

I always run with a palico in multiplayer so I'm always wirebugging my way around, and since I go more vertical than my doggo-riding counterparts I tend to meander around grabbing birds on the way. I'd really like to come up with some standardized routes the way gaijin hunter apparently did, but I really enjoy the wirebug mechanics and the verticality of the spaces so I don't mind being slower.

Monster Hunter Philippines Elites has a bunch of videos on evasion (Artful Dodger), including one specifically for Arch-Tempered Nergigante. Most of that is applicable to regular Nerg. Though before that, their video on the Hunting Horn "Battle Dance" is excellent for general Horn combat flow and decision making, and watching it will probably be enough to help you deal with Nerg and most other tricky early-game monsters: https://youtu.be/BAuV5J9JSv4 This is one of the best MHW videos ever made, IMO. An excellent breakdown of MHW combat with Hunting Horn, and back-and-forth MH combat in general.

I just tried another hunt and got REALLY low, down to 5:50, and that's with the farthest possible spawn which adds a full minute AND forgetting demondrug and might seed. But, is that enough to shave two full minutes? Maybe? I honestly think the x-factor is two things. One is that Felyne paralysis he gets JUST as the monster is about to leave, which prevents it from changing zones and is another free session of slicing, which he chains into the final trap for a capture. Totally impossible to recreate. I started running two Felyn with Ailment Boost and paralysis weapons just to hope for it. I ended up getting the same paralysis, but it would have been at like, the 5:10 min mark, way too late for a 2:57, so I have NO idea what the RNG is on that happening. Secondly is I think he MUST have eaten for Weakener. In almost all my hunts, by the time it's cappable I'm basically out of ammo, but he's still sitting on a pretty sizable stock. Again, our attacks are doing like, the same damage. His monster must have a super low HP roll on that particular run

If you're reloading, you aren't shooting. Also I'm not sure how much of your shots are sticky vs slice, but WEX and CB do nothing for sticky.

It's not LBG (HBG instead) and he doesn't bring palicos/palamutes so no pet status effects, but from what I've seen of Phemento's TA attempts, the <3min Dango loadout is Temper/Booster/Marksman. I'm guessing sticky/slicing drops Marksman for Slugger.

Phemto also has cheated-in talismans. The guy whose video I linked for-sure doesn't or his build would be better, but I think you could DEFINITELY cut that time by a reasonable amount if you did what Phemto does. Like, if I got an AmmoBoost2/SpareShot2 charm with 2 slots, I'd be able to either bring Attack Boost from 4 to 7 or do Peak Performance 3. Like, I use at LEAST 60 slicing ammo per fight plus Spare Shot freebies, and thats x3 hits per shot, so even if I was doing 2 more damage per hit that's 360 damage over the course of the fight, so as much as he tries to say "you can still get fast times without cheated decos so this isnt a big deal," it's still a significant difference if you're trying to match times Anyways, I got a 5:20, which is really good considering there's more than a full minute of running to the slower location and then back when it moves. So, I think reasonably, that would end up as like a 4:15~? But drat, cutting another full minute seems nuts. The thing about bowguns is that the runs are pretty consistent - before switching builds I was getting like 7:00 every time. I just have no idea where that full minute comes from. If I wanted to spend a little bit of time I could actually make the build better, but I'd have to grind out another Ammo Up deco plus the Jyutaros armor and it'd only give me room for a single Attack Up deco. Again, I could REALLY buff up the build if I had a better talisman, but alas. The one I'm using right now has no usefull skill on it but two Attack 2 decos RazzleDazzleHour fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Apr 18, 2021 |

I just tried another hunt and got REALLY low, down to 5:50, and that's with the farthest possible spawn which adds a full minute AND forgetting demondrug and might seed. But, is that enough to shave two full minutes? Maybe? If weakener is like how it worked in world, it reduces the monster HP to 90% of the median value which wouldn't entirely account for the huge difference. Google translate says their second and third food skills are "immovable" (no idea what this is but doesn't sound like weakener) and "shooter" (marksman?) I think you're really underrating how important ammo up is for small clip sizes. Its the reason why in world, even though the Rajang HBG had way more raw than the Furious Rajang HBG, the latter still posted much better clear times for sticky builds because you spent less time reloading and just shot out all your ammo quicker. Arguably, it's even more important in Rise because you stupidly can't craft ammo while reloading anymore so the time is wasted even more. The runner just spent less time reloading, got a lot of spare shot procs ( I counted 4 in a row for slicing at least twice), and landed all their slicing shots in spots with good hit zone values. They also know how many stickies they need for each KO so they're already switching to slicing before magnamalo falls over so they're not wasting any of their sticky ammo either since you can't build up more KO while they're already KOed.

This isn't necessarily true, as they definitely don't always use the exact sticky amount. Like, if you just look at the first KO, he shoots out four stickies when it only takes two. Also, even though you can't craft while reloading, you can craft while placing landmines, which we both do. The main reason I thought Ammo Up wouldn't be as useful as more damage is just because of how few you need to shoot. Having a way larger clip size is more important when you're firing a large volume of ammo, and less important when you're only firing maybe 30~ stickies in the entire fight. Like I said, squeezing even 2 more damage out of a Slice is 360 damage - now imagine I'm critting every hit for +40% more damage, turning 28x3 slicing into 39x3. That's an insane increase. In my mind, that's WAY better than +1 ammo capacity on sticky ammo. The actual issue is that I was just wrong about Slicing ammo being able to crit, which it can't, so yeah then obviously Ammo Up is the next best thing. e: I should have assumed this was the way it worked because otherwise slicing would be insanely OP. You could probably do sub 2:30 if you could crit RazzleDazzleHour fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Apr 18, 2021 |
