Yeah he could be tough at first. Just stick with it.

Seems like I remember attacking his powered up parts when he starts glowing to either make it go away or he was weak to it

Tried out other weapons in training but eh. Still like the long sword .

Up to 4* in hub, 6* in village . Pretty fun

game has finally gotten pretty tough.

took down 6* High Rank Nargacuga last night.

seems i need 5 pelts to craft his sword though he dropped 1

making a build and focusing on skills/decorations/ramp-ups is pretty fun, but idk how much farming the same monster ill do. guess ill re-evaluate that stance once i begin hitting roadblocks.

Yeah I had taken a break from it and came back and finished out the main story and am working my way to HR 100 for sunbreak and I fought an apex monster last night and I'm not sure if my gear is just not good enough or what. They one shot me basically. I just left the apex guys alone.

hr100 is required for sunbreak content ? or just something you wanted to do?

only apex ive seen that that apex azuros (small bear thing) in a Rampage and it rock toss AOE had a radius that felt like the entire arena. not looking forward to Apex Diablos or Tigrex.. cant imagine the shite they can pull off.

learning how to hit counters with the long sword, serene pose especially, helped a lot . slowing their constant aggression down and breaking parks/triggering the Ride Wyvern prompt, makes a huge difference

Interesting . Didn’t realize the barrier of entry was so high but that’s fine . Rather intriguing even

Not interested in a story, just want to fight big monsters with weapons so no worries there .


It's more to do with awful design imo.

I appreciate MH for what it is, but the whole series has always been super janky in its controls and combat.

I did beat Monster Hunter World, and I've played several hours of Rise. I think World is the better game, but Rise is pretty solid too. The best advice I would give is to spend time trying each weapon to find one that you like.

the combat was janky for me at first but once i learned to sheathe my weapon and use the wirebugs for mobility while engaged with a monster, it became more fun.

i.e. no need to have weapon out when 100 feet away... may as well put it up and use wirebugs for repositioning

cancelling combos with iframe moves, or long window counters, at the right time helped a lot too . feels way more fluid and responsive.. just took a long time to figure out

High rank Magnamalo fricked me up. Figured I had to farm some gear . Switched to Dual Blades to try them out , ended up really enjoying them. Gonna stick with dual blades. Longsword was nerfed too

Anyone making any progress in sun break? I still have to clear 4 more 7* key quests before Allmother

Skilling up evade window and evade extender helped a lot .

Super fun in World. Ended up being my main weapon.

Hitting a full length mid air spinning slash in demon mode for a part break is extremely satisfying .


Landing in front of the monster as he charges an enraged attack and you are stuck in a landing and sheathing animation… not so much fun .

Defeated Allmother last night. cool fight. Actually tough.

That fight felt like it went on forever. But it was tough. I went ahead and bought Rise and Sunbreak on PC and worked my way past the wind serpent and went into MR after killing him. MR is pretty tough. It's tough but fair. I usually kill stuff in under 15 or so minutes but I just swapped to HBG after never playing a ranged weapon and I'm having a rough time.

Nice. I’ve never tried ranged either . Must play completely different .

Think I’ll try insect glaive next if I switch it up . I checked out the gunlance in training and didn’t like it at all really .

How long is an average hunt for you? Gunlance is fun. The new stuff they added in changes the way it plays pretty sure. My original play through on switch I played Saxe and Cblade. Then my PC playthrough was GL and LS until Sunbreak.

Oh yeah, forgot about the new stuff added in sunbreak . Will have to reevaluate when I get it .

Avg for me is like 25 mins . Rarely under 20 . I collect spiribirds and insects

Teostra, chameleos, Kushala still manage to cart me once or twice . Woops
