Indeed it is
Ooh nice, I think blast also has better breaking abilities on monsters so could come in handy when farming. There is a weapon I crafted yesterday called fire and ice which has two elements so you do 210 Ice damage, 210 blast damage, plus the 308 attack and it’s a positive affinity. So for duel blades all that is pretty good. Haven’t tried them out yet as I’m just farming Nergergante looking for this gem.
Yeah I think I read that about blast too
Nice did you use the Kadachi Glaive?
Yeah kadachi pillar 1, I don't really have an issue dodging with the IG so I pumped up some extra thunder skills and switched the kinsect to thunder damage/blast dustNice did you use the Kadachi Glaive?
Have you found the Gajaka home in the elder recess? Because when you find that you find the 3rd camp site which is basically in the Nergergante lair, so sometimes when he goes to sleep i’ll Put two barrels on his head.Then a timed barrel, run away, then smack him about a bit, But if you leave there he’ll often go back to sleep and you can pick up two barrels at the camp and blow them again. Works out well for me trying to break his horn. As hitting him in the face with duel blades doesn’t work out too well
Should point out sometimes he doesn’t go to sleep, follows you and does that diving shoulder attack at you in that confined tunnel and you’re ducked. Vitality mantel or health booster is your friend for taking him on. Eventually both.
Because of my extensive Monster Hunting World farming exploits I decided to make myself an insect Glaive blade and just gave it a bash. Going to clear all the low rank investigations out of the way to get used to it. Decided just to max the metal tree with it but I stopped at the one just before it maxes in that tree as it needed a lot of fulcrum ore and I’m sure I need that for something else I want.
Ig rule number keep your red buff up as much as possible, ie shot the monster in the area it uses to deal damage, head claws usually
I think a trip to the training room will be needed just to get the combos and stuff down as I would think against any decent monster i’d get slaughtered. Do you find you can mount more than once with the Glaive? Because there are times especially against Nergergante where i’ll Mount him in the first room then I would have chances where I would think normally I’d get a mount as I’ve hit him whilst airborne and it won’t mount. I’ve seen in foodskills there is a mount bonus and I’ve had that but I’ve never mounted a monster more than once.
Normally I get a least two, I feel like sometimes more
Have you gone after any of the Elder dragons yet? I found that the Nergergante weapon you first get with elder seal was really good. Then crafting some of the Nergergante armour helped out a lot.
I’m sure I went after them with the Diablos noir armour with either the skull helm or death stench helm. It was kinda mix and match. They are actually ok to take on, they have certain tells that you will easily see for yourself. There is a way to kill one of them that is just ridiculously simple and makes it stress free.
That sounds excellent. The first tempered monster I have is a duo one against those bomber guys and I hated them even before they were tempered. If Trash Panda could handle that I’d be all for it. Was it in the Xeno armour as I saw a video also today where one was holding its own vs a Kirin(feck I hate that thing)

And yeah that is pretty much it, build up the blast dust, then leap in head first
Decided to go and farm Nerg again for this gem, it better fecking drop as I pretty much refuse to move on to tempered until I have my Decimation Claws..
See in events there is that wriggler quest, if you do that the helmet you can craft is pretty awesome especially for dragons, just looks stupid.

Heard that armour is supposed to be ridiculously good.
Edit: went after Nergergante again, picked something off the ground and it flashed up with a box saying Nergergante’s blessing. And 500 research points. I thought this was it, this was the Gem, but no nothing and I have no idea what it was that I picked up for that. I reckon i’ll Have stayed 30+ Nergergante before this things drops.
Ah yeah I’ve seen that rally ability. I might give that a go and see what happens. At the moment I’m trying to get him to lvl 10 with the meowtolv cocktail but the plunder blade is just too damn good.
The old lady elf/gnome person you see at the research base for the rotten vale should have moved to the market in asteria. She can meld items if you have the right parts. Some will just be bones, metals or monster parts and you can craft things like Mega demon drug, mega amourskin. She will also do things like monster parts that are hard to come by like plates and so on.
Just saw a similar video but it was an Elder dragon it took on. The guy says it can finish off a Teostra in 17 minutes. That is with a Gathjaka helping it but all he did was roll around and apply buffs. I have pretty much everything to give it a try except the Xeno armour so I might do some farming but I’m sure you could do it with any armour if you just set your sights lower.
really should have set up a live stream and see if people would pay me to play.I’ve heard of Augmenting but I haven’t come across it yet, not sure if it’s cap related. I think it means you can change the element of your blade or whatever.
I didn’t really mind Vaal Hazak that much but it is a pretty disappointing fight. They all kind of are except for Nergergante. I quite enjoy that one.
I crafted a few different things, Gun Lance, Bow, Light bow, Hammer. Gun lance and lance would be cool as you can guard. Which is fun when fighting a Diablos.
Yeah the one thing I feel about all the other weapons is just that they are incredibly slow. I do need to spend more time with them to get good with them basically
I don’t think I’ve used the lance, is it similar to the gun lance without the gun? I saw there is a weird sprint thing you can do with the lance. Looks handy.Yeah I started with the long sword, I might give it another try actually because the range of the duel blades is sometimes a down fall. DJO for example is quite hard to hit other than just parking under his legs. Hitting his face or tail is a hard thing to do especially when he is jumping about like Pickle Rick doing parkour.
No you'll be grand, there's no mad rush on progress, though grinding too excessively pre high rank could be deemed a bit of a waste
What about the multiplayer? Most of my friends think playing anything besides FIFA is for nerds so it's either solo or playing with random online people. Is this a fun game solo or should I try and make online friends :-)
I play most of it solo, some people say it's easier solo, but I party up on occasion too
) So you'll learn a lot from playing with others who have more experienceYou're right this is my first MHI play most of it solo, some people say it's easier solo, but I party up on occasion too
I assume you haven't played any MH before in which case it's an idea to pick up some parties from an LFG or the likes as the game itself doesn't really tell you jack sshh (apparently this one is meant to be more welcoming to newer players too
Some fights can be easier when your not the solo focus of the monsters rage, but on the flip side if you are going with randoms and they don't have a clue the cart(death) limit can make you fail a quest pretty quickly, or very agonisingly close to the end
TL;DR
A mix is good, though try all monsters once solo
Did do some reading on it, since it's known for throwing you off the deep end. Anyway, I'll try it solo, after one more attempt at that stupid, unfair, frustrating GRAAAH Dark Souls 3 Dlc.
