Once you get back to town you should get a subquest to fight a rathian. Though it might unlock once you get to the third town, I didnt check the board until i got there, it's not very far away anyway.

Once you've fought it it starts spawning in rare dens. Also there's a repeatable subquest that forces one to spawn near one of the catavan stands

Speaking of repeatable subquests, any monster you beat in a trial quest counts as beating it for a subquest, so doing the one with Qurupeco three times or the Nargacuga one and then cashing in that subquest is a decent way to get some quick exp for monsters you want to level to unlock gene slots, though I wouldn't recommend going past level 10 or so with this method, since there's probably higher level (and thus higher exp) quests later, but it's good for freeing up space while you're in Rutoh.

Eyyy thanks to your advice and Zore's amazing battle strategy, I am now the proud owner of a baby Gammoth! Stinky egg too! I named him The Lad. Had to beat him a good 4 times before he would run away, even with the Rathian armor and a Paintball. Also the fight wasn't quite a snoozefest because my Angy Boi just LOVED to try and throw rocks at Gammoth instead of doing a Speed Attack with me like a good boy. Still. Managed it, and got some nice levels for my newest children. Now I can go team with with Alvinia!

Boba Pearl posted:Is Stories like Pokemon where it's just catching monsters and snoozing through the story, or is it like SMT / Persona. A team based RPG with strong mechanics. Pokemon but with much better thought out mechanics and a more manageable number of creatures to collect. I'd say this is what I've wanted Pokemon to be for quite a while (and is now clear that we're not ever going to get). The plot isn't as cringe inducing as Rise's (which was auto-skip for me very quickly) but you could easily skip the cutscenes and lose nothing.

Apologies if this was covered / asked but with stories 2 is it like an actual sequel or is it like stories 1 but ++. I have stories 1 that I was going to play through but if 2 is just 1 (obviously the story is different) but a lot better maybe I should skip 1? I looked on YouTube but I didn’t see any 1 to 2 comparisons.

I was just watching the ACG review for Stories 2 and he mentioned a selectable hard difficulty DLC coming down the pipe. That's the first I've heard of that and I don't see it on the roadmap, was he just mistaken about the various High Difficulty monster DLCs? Was about to start my own playthrough but I'll wait if a real difficulty mode is really coming.

I've got 1 on my phone (which plays really really well tbh) and I think I might just give it a shot for a bit and see how it goes. 2 does look really good so if I don't totally bounce off 1 I'll be giving it a shot.

The 2 big mechanical changes that mean I can't go back to Stories 1 are that in 2 you can inherit genes freely instead of being stuck only inheriting to the same part of the grid and they removed all the random variance for enemies so that they're completely predictable instead of you just eating poo poo sometimes because the monster decided to do a tech attack instead of power.

What are the best monsters? I require a monster tierlist. I can’t tell if I’m wasting time levelling up my decent-seeming second-area monsters or if they’re just doomed to be forever garbage

I can’t tell if I’m wasting time levelling up my decent-seeming second-area monsters or if they’re just doomed to be forever garbage If you look at the monster's status you can see a rarity. Generally the higher it is the better the monster. The best monsters in the early areas are the royal monsters (except Gammoth) which are also the most difficult to acquire. For the most part through the story you should be continuously upgrading your crew, though a lower tier monster can carry you just fine.

Dyz posted:I think this question was asked earlier but in MH Rise is there any real downside to taking the Insta Block switch skill over Guard? It seems like even if you miss the timing you still get a regular guard anyways. The closest thing to a downside I can think of is not being able to go into a cancel/counter thrust immediately. Aside from having a harder time going into counter stance, it also basically locks you out of the shield advance and the jumping thrust attacks because you have to wait for the parry animation to finish before you can bust them out, and they're both really really good moves. Basically, any move that you do out of guard ends up taking a full second longer to do, and that's like half the lance's moveset

Rotten Red Rod posted:Can you actually get Anjanath in the 1st island outside of the demo? I read somewhere it's possible, but I haven't seen him show up at all outside of the story battle. Apparently it works at any time. You need to go to North Kamura Forest then go all the way to the nest. At the end, right before the nest, there's a Pukei. You need to beat and force it to retreat. This creates a monster den by the nest. Go in, grab the egg, and leave. Then go to the nest (you get a "there's no one around" prompt) at which point you wait. After 4-5 minutes a Yian kut ku. Except when you fight Yian the actual fight is against anjanath. Again, you need to beat and force a retreat. Anja will then be on the same den Pukei triggered and you can grab its egg there. Not sure how late/early Anjanath actually shows up in game but this is a fun thing to do in the demo while I run out of things to do and actually pull the trigger on the game.

Also you can do this repeatedly if you want to farm up a rainbow egg one. Just need the paintballs for each attempt and if you do it during the demo / start, Kayna will get 1 shot by Anja every time because of the power/speed mismatch so you need to be on it to actually get the kill before she dies.

Ugh it works but the Anjanath didn't retreat (yes I used a paintball) and then when I tried again the Pukei Pukei didn't retreat. Edit: 2nd try is the charm, got it! Rotten Red Rod fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Jul 12, 2021 |

One tiny little side note to the Anja shenanigans: you can't actually use him in the demo. I mean, you can but he doesn't actually do anything in combat since his assets as a monstie are not present in the game. Transferring the save over to the full game clears this up and Anja can proceed to apparently carry you through the start since his stats are pretty good?
