The Monster Hunter thread
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Just made my way onto the high rank village quests
The final boss was quite boring, but nice to have a new challenge on high rank. Much more difficult now, no handholding at all!

Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Just took down my first Royal Ludroth! It was actually easier than I was expecting. I tried going after one before, but I was totally outclassed, but this time round it wasn't too hard. It moves pretty crazily though.
The game really is the perfect thing to play while listening to a podcast too.

Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Yeah I found it was great podcast fodder. Should get back into this game soon but there's so many plates to spin, it'll probably be whenever there's a lull i'll come back.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Any veterans give me some advice on trapping? I managed the Azuros but the Great Jaggi making life hard. I wouldn't mind as normally he's a great big pussy but capturing him alive is giving me a bit of a headache, especially with the meagre provisions they provide you with.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Capturing can be a pain in the arse (which is why I don't normally bother).
Make sure you wait until they start limping, if you do it before then, there's a very good chance it won't work. I recommend taking at least 1 other trap and plenty more tranquilisers on a capture mission (you can make shock and pitfall traps pretty easily).
If they don't go down after 2 tranqs you can try chucking a couple more on them

Re: The Monster Hunter thread
I figured I could make traps in the field.
How do I make tranq bombs? I figure it's a bomb casing but looking through my combo list I'm at a loss at what to put with it.

Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Your best bet is to head to a wiki, man. I had one on my tablet at all times ready to answer my queries of which there were many.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Kind of hard to wiki stuff when you're laid in bed playing or out and about though.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
I've made it up to the point where the quest for going up against that big monster that's terrorising the island is available. But it seems odd to me. Seems like it's way too early. I'm still only wearing Jaggi gear, which is the first set of stuff I've crafted, and I'm still apparently Hunter Rank 1. I thought it was supposed to go up through the single player missions. Or at least, that's what I read when I looked up the topic on the internet. Do I have to finish every single quest in a group (like the one star, two star, etc. quests) to raise my rank? Or is this somehow only the beginning of the single player quests, and I'll rank up after killing this thing? Am I really supposed to be able to go up against it now too? I don't really feel like I'm ready. I expected to have gone through at least a few more equipment sets before this point.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Doesn't the quest text say "repel the lagiacrus" and not "kill"?
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
I don't know. I didn't take a close look at it yet, I just know I just got given it.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Ah, in which case if it is "repel" then you'll fight the Lagiacrus only a certain way and it'll run away.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Your Hunter Rank only changes when you do the online, so don't worry about that when you're doing solo.
Just concentrate on upgrading your gear so you stand a better chance later on. There's no one set of armour that is perfect, so some will work better against fire enemies bit be weaker to ice and water etc. Always handy to have different options available.
The Wroggi armour is a VERY useful one to have. There's a particular skill boost that has saved my ass on quite a few bosses.

Re: The Monster Hunter thread
I buckled and got a WiiU. I've been playing this almost nightly since I managed to get a noob platoon together. It really is magnificent online, it really presses all my buttons from what I want from a game. You can feel yourself getting better as you work out attack patterns and other behaviours.

Re: The Monster Hunter thread
Great purchases (console and game)!
Sadly I didn't get to do as much Monster Huntering as I wanted before deadlines dictated that I had to move on.
I should love to return to it some time.
Feel free to add me on Wii U: RatsoAlbion.

Re: The Monster Hunter thread
I've added you. Maybe when you find a slot in your busy schedule you can come and see a master at work. By that I mean you can watch me roll around aimlessly whilst blowing into my hunting horn.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread

As ever, Nintendo website not the best at communicating!
Cheers

Re: The Monster Hunter thread
I'm digging through the Nintendo website and I cannot find my recommendation code. I've sent them a support request, if they get back to me with a code it is yours.
Re: The Monster Hunter thread
