In PC HH user, is not reach even 5% of active player.. and the one that can use and want to improve by using that weapon, i think less than half of them.
@@Griffted I'm glad that this vid is getting attention, you put so much beautiful work in this vid, and its not right that you don't get much out of it.
The hh is the one weapon i want to master. Its not my first weapon i started with the sword and shield because of the mobility. But the hh is really cool and in my opinion represents true understanding of how the game works.
just listening to the flourishes section gave me a headache... I thought the charge blade was a complicated weapon but jesus christ, props to anyone maining HH
@@Griffted oh its all good, i gave the guide another watch and then practiced some HH stuff in the training room for around 2 hours. Massive props on the guide, really great and informative
My friends: “HH is hunga bunga, just play your songs before the fight 4 head” Me: “fool, you can’t comprehend the amount of button inputs I have to do.” Friends: “oh yea, like what?” Me: “draw attack into flourish then do the next note at the precise moment when the second swing animation starts, then back on LS and attack to hilt stab then flourish again gaining two more notes then hilt stab again, now I press R2 right after the hilt stab to do a quick recital, keeping in mind to play any 2 note song first for a quick encore performed by pressing R2 again after ye first performance is complete...and that’s just the first 5-10 seconds of the fight:)” Friends: “. . .” My friend who mains CB observing the conversation: “they never understand us huh”
Yeah I started a new game with my roommate and we’re doing first play through for him. I’ve been playing hunting horn on a whim, and soon I’m thinking it’s about to be my third most played weapon. It unexpectedly ended up being extremely fun in the 2 man hunts so far. 😅
Just want to say that people like myself are still out here looking to master the HH and I'm very glad to have found this insanely dedicated and completely loaded video. I'm surprised that it was only recommended after another video and not on the front search results page
I've always loved the HH but never could get it to feel right. Once I found your videos it made the weap click with me. The way you explain mechanics and do not hesitate to show off and credit other (very rare) HH youtubers made me very grateful. Thank you for your work!
Thank you I tried really hard to make everything easy to follow. And I got to support the other runners in my community of course!!! Thank you and i'm grateful you enjoyed the video, cheers
As someone who fell in love with the hunting horn as soon as she saw the concept, i really appreciate this video. Ive only started playing last month so this is amazing to up my game
Thanks for putting in the incredible effort to make all of these videos. MHW in 2018 was my first monster hunting experience, but i never learned how to "play" this game properly, just got a sword and shield and button mashed (and still loved it), but now I'm compelled to come give it another spin and learn to play it at its deeper level, like a high-speed chess game and these videos are just blowing my mind.
I finally got a 4 hunting horn squad together and it was glorious. I had devised a plan revolving on use of a horn that serves next to no purpose if no one else is playing with a horn. TL;DR 4 horns with different buffs when selected appropriately can be fun and effective especially if Empress Roar "Blaze" is in the squad. Detailed reasons below. Enter the Empress roar "blaze". It has a song of note that increases the duration (am assuming resets the duration) of ALL songs currently affecting the group. Which means for just I tiny bit of down time for the "blaze" user means A LOT of up time for the rest of the team. So we each brought different horns with different effects (Deep Vero, Teostra's Ophee, Empress roar "blaze" and Desolation's Overture). The results were hilarious to the point the entire group was cracking up. The first victim was a Nergigante and let's just say it spent more time staggered/K.O'd/exploded than it did fighting. We also managed to break of many of its black spikes (thanks to Teostra's Ophee status aliment attack up + the two dragon element horns) delaying the dive bomb. Next was Kushala Daora which the Desolation's overture horn user swapped out to use Empress Roar "Styx" (negate ALL wind pressure). It was a bit more obnoxious as this thing likes to fly a lot but the number of blast procs was comical in itself. Lastly came Teostra before my squad had to go. Again the Empress roar "Styx" swapped out horns this time sporting Dragon flute "water" (to increase fire resistance +10 and null blast blight). End result Teostra managed to kill one of us do to animation lock that horns have by using that massive explosion that it can create at range. Big ouch as we needed to replay all of the songs again to reapply the buffs to the fallen member. That aside dispelling his fire and blast aura and the resulting K.O's did make him fun to fight.
I hope anyone who's watching this soaked in everything as much as I did when I first seen your series, which transformed me from scrub to guru. This is jam packed, from the cinematic scenes to visual guidance. You put a lot of love in this and I'm more than appreciative to have been a small part of it. Thank you so much!
I thought I didn’t like HH because of the weapon, but after watching this and putting things I’ve learned to practice, I realized that I just didn’t know what I was doing.
This is a really great video not only because of its content, but also delivery. It's apparent that you love the weapon and are excited to teach others about it, and that feels really welcoming to HH newbies like myself. Thank you and keep dooting!
i’ve played hunting horn ever since world, it was this video that truly made me fall in love with the weapon, this video is unlike any other guide for any game i have ever seen. i can’t believe how long it’s been, i wish nothing but the best for you, your career, wife and kids, keep on playing that sweet chin music homie
I just got bored of Switch Axe a few minutes ago and built that badass Deviljo horn. Then I realized I had no idea how to play with it, so I googled a guide and found this. Thank you so much, this is incredible.
Not sure if you read the comments here anymore, but I recently picked up Hunting Horn in Iceborne because of your video. All the videos I'd found about the Hunting Horn seemed to be from people who had maybe played it for a bit, not fully understood it, and just gotten a video out because it's one of the weapons, and they needed to make a tutorial for all of them. This video taught me that there's so much more to HH than I thought, and now I'm enjoying learning a new, highly technical weapon. I have a long way to go, but it's very rewarding. I'm hoping you'll come back and do at least one new class for Iceborne, but hey, I think with this video I have enough to learn on my own from Iceborne speedruns, or other players making HH videos. Thanks a ton for the extremely helpful video, and for making me into a HH player!
@@Griffted Hey I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I picked up Monster Hunter World during the latest Steam Summer Sale. It's the first Monster Hunter game I've ever really played and I picked up the Hunting Horn because I thought tooting monsters to death would be funny. A few weeks and a hundred hours of gameplay later I wanted to figure things out and found this video. For the first time I actually feel like I know what I'm doing, at least a little bit. I'm not just doing whatever recital or attack I feel like and actually thinking about how I'm playing the game. I'd love a post-iceborne update to this because I'm excited to know how speedrunners wound up making use of Echo Waves and the new songs like Impact Echo Wave. Regardless, thanks for all the help and teaching me how to better play that sweet chin music.
The editing, the way you present information, the music, everythings so perfect that it made me want to pick up the hunting horn. Spent all night practicing last night. Watching this to consolidate information. You made me fall for the weapon. Havent had this much fun in forever with a weapon.
I've watched your video at least 4 times to learn the essentials and I wanted to say thank you. This helped me to effectively output damage, be more aggressive an queue my songs correctly. 11/10
33:58 as a hunting horn main, I relate to this so much. It just feels badass to be able to play a song while smacking something in the face and even better if you somehow manage to avoid a hit at the same time.
Griffted, I just want to say man, as a budding HH hopeful, this vid is INSANELY informative. I’ve watched it a few times (and will continue to do so) and I’m really into it! World was my first MH, and it’s taken me almost 700 hours to finally give the Horn a serious go. I’ve got maybe 10 hours in and loving every minute! It’s my hope with practice I’ll be that rare breed of war bard that leads from the front! Thank you for your vids! Signed, A budding hopeful
17:42 The most inspiring part of the video. Honestly I have watched this video like 6 to 8 times and I keep coming back because every time I learn something that I missed in previous times. I was trying to play Hunting Horn since I got my hands on Monster Hunter World but never knew the right way to play it, this video inspired me a lot to go further and further with it. I'm in love with this piece of art.
If you are a serious Hunting Horn user you MUST watch this video and you can see the pure love put into this video for this niche weapon in MH Series. I just wanted to add this, about the wake up re-positioning of Super pound using roll from the monster's head, some parts of their bodies can affect the range of waking up hit when the monster is sleeping like their front legs, horns, wings etc. that's why you can get mixed results from doing that. And this, doing forward-recital (like Griffted said in his video the best way to do the forward-recital is after you do the forward slam or super pound) rapidly tap forward and the waking animation will get cancelled and your character will still move forward, if you have 3 queue songs you can actually travel long from where you started doing the recital lol this is only a situational application it's not that good and also it's not that bad and also it looks fun at least to me :) Great video as always!
New subscriber from Jinjinx and Tuna, this is extremely helpful as someone who is learning the hunting horn. I tend to play super greedy as an aerial hammer main, so self-learning the hunting horn has been a rough road to follow. Thank you for these detailed and high quality tutorials, and I can’t wait to see more of your content.
Coming back to this video to give my thanks, Griffted. Hunting Horn was always a weapon I dabbled with from a young age when I first came into this franchise with FU on the PSP, but I never truly knew the weapon until I watched this video. It's by and far my favorite weapon to use now (we don't talk about Rise), and this video was an invaluable resource for being able to play it at a higher level, and gaining more enjoyment from doing so. To this day, I consider Hunting Horn to be arguably the most difficult/complicated weapon to use to its full potential, but it also is unmatched in the satisfaction you get from playing it. Again, thank you very much for releasing this Masterclass video, and I would love to see you do it again come Wilds' release if you find the time.
omg epic, thank you so much! You're a great inspiration, and giving players a lot of information that we cannot find in an easy way anywhere else is amaizing, keep the great work.
Thank you for the video. I'm a mostly self-taught hunting horn player (before starting out I needed to look which buttons do what attacks, lmao) and MHW is my first game. A lot of these I'd figured out on my own but there is still some moves I don't utilize much, like the back slam (I call it the fade bonk) and the neutral version of the flourish attack (still haven't found a use for this one...) Where your videos nevertheless shone for me was in the application department. It's one thing to know what moves exist and how to do them, it's quite another thing to know how and where to use them, and what effect they specifically have. A lot of Japanese games are trial and error in the last department especially. For example, it was only yesterday I found out that hunting horn songs actually have different lengths for almost every song! I just naturally assumed that it'd be one length for stacking songs (eg. Attack Up) and one length for extendable songs (e.g. Earplugs) but no it's a whole bunch and you're not told that at any point in the game! That's the sort of thing I personally need a lot more of. Actually, wait. That was you. On Jinjinx and Tuna's channel. OH WELL. Thank you again in that case!
God this is video is so good man. I am probably a boarder-line HH user. With around 200 hunts this video confirmed a lot of what I was discovering to be awesome and the style points comments are so true. These tips are gonna help me over that jump into greatness!
I have been wanting to expand on the Hunting Horn for awhile now. I've been using Greatsword, Insect Glaive, and Gunlance as my main three but I've always felt the Horn was underrated and that it needs some love. I've built all of the best ones and thanks to this I might just be able to perfect it. Thank you Griffted.
I just personally wanna say the deviljho slap aka neutral recitals and qtabs have changed my life, I've been watching this as often as needed to play that sweet chin music as fluently and gracefully as I can since being recently converted to the HH. Great guide, withstands the test of time thanks for the info!
I've always had a certain taste for Hunting Horn and learned most of the techniques by myself but honestly thanks to this, I can finally consider myself a Hunting Horn Genius, started in mh4u and still rocking with the killer beat, I'll be among the few THE PROUD WHO'S WITH ME HUNTING HORN MAINS/FANS? 👍
tieltavisvt has an incredible lance guide you have to check out - but i totally agree. Would love to see more top players put out their own masterclasses's Lance video: ua-cam.com/video/T6x4inXgCMk/v-deo.html
MHW is my first MH game that I've ever played. My friends are usually the ones that always play metas on online games. But I love playing the low tiers. They remind me of personal stuff, so I always try to prove to others how, even low tiers, are capable of doing better when you know how to play their strenghts. So, I asked my friends which weapon was the worst, and they told me "Hunting Horn". And that's when I knew I wanted to play that. I finished all the campaign with only Hunting Horn, and it really grew on me the love for the weapon. That's why playing HH agressively/efficiently is such a good rush. Really appreciated the video :)
I've been playing this weapon for fun, never thought there is this deep mechanism behind it. This weapon strikes me as an enigma especially the recital and encore where directions and your last move and attacks get involved in deciding which recital will you get. I really like using hunting horn in Worlds because the last time I used this was in MHP3rd where it still sucks. Thank you for the Masterclass, and I will be sure to tell my newly-fond-of-monster-hunter friends to use hunting horn. Let this guides be known to all. Praise you
I picked up the hh this weekend flailing wildly as I did when I played through the first time with mixed success. Got comfy over time. Now with your guidance I can refine and I thank you for sharing your skills! Keep up the sweet chin music kind sir!
I came for the sweet chin music. I was not disappointed because you said it a few times. Easy like from me. Also in all seriousness thanks for including my clip and for the mention in the description.
Hunting Horn was the last weapon of the 14 that I picked up. It's quickly becoming a faviourite in World and Iceborne for me. This video is such a useful tool to learn the general concept of the weapon and the depths you can take your HH gameplay. Even with the changes in Iceborne, this video stays relevant. Also, this is one of the best edited videos I've seen lately on UA-cam. The style just fits perfectly to the purpose of the video. Amazing!
R1 speeds up quest menu loading...................I have literally over 500 hours into this game through PS4 and PC, and just NOW learned that. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Just tried hunting horn earlier before watching this video.. This video answered all of my issues I had while using the hunting horn for the first time. Thank you.
As a Hunting Horn purist (I have only played the hunting horn for every game I have ever played in the series) this is such an amazing vid. It's really cool to see the techniques I have learned and all the things burned into my muscle memory be quantified in such a way! I love the HH and this video did it justice!!
24:00 oh thats how you do that... thank you so much that, i've been trying pressing start or holding x and stuff. here I was just checking out what high level HH is like and I got that gem.
I'll finish this later tonight, but this specific video shows why MH is one of the best franchises ever created. The tomes worth of esoteric knowledge... you just showed me two things I never knew, and I actually play Horn pretty regularly. I've been playing the series for eleven years. Some of these concepts actually work BACKWARDS, too. I couldn't use HH effectively at all 10 years ago, but thanks to understanding of its purpose and knowledge of the move set's skeleton, I can effectively go back in time and use the Horn pretty well in the Freedom series. Thanks so much for this.
This is quality content if ever seen it. Between the production and care and well thought explanation. Also that smooth music and transition. You got a sub and a new HH user out of me.
Been a Dual Blade main since MHFU. But everything change when my curiosity came, I thought being a HH main would be just a support player.... So I researched and researched until I removed all the misconceptions and tried it myself. You are one of the reason I’m a HH main in MHW:Iceborne now.(It’s so much funnnn) Wouldn’t have shifted without you guys(Gaijin Hunter, Grifted,Arekkz, Monster Hunter World PH) So thank youuu from the bottom of my heart for not only introducing a weapon and showing me the basics as well as the advance tips.
I started to use the hunting horn yesterday and man I'm in love. I thought there was nothing better than getting a true charge in the face of a monster and now I can play the music of my people to topple my enemies
In all honesty, I've sought after to effectively learn the melee weapon of the game- barely skipping the hunting horn as I saw my style of play for it fit enough to go on hunts with it whenever I need to. Now I've realized so many mistakes I've been doing and SOOO MUCH room for improvement. This video has really made me respect the dedication and fortitude it takes to master the weapon, and and just pushes me to really work on improving. Props for the lessons, sensei.
Slowly but surely, I finally got around to finishing this series. This was wonderfully crafted and I definitely learned some new tricks, like turning for the backslam and the double note cancel. Keep at it Griffted and keep dootin on!
As someone who's been using Hunting Horn exclusively for _World,_ this just cleared me up on a few mechanics I'd not fully grasped. Like, I knew about the quick recital and the self improvement variation, but I'd made the mistake of thinking self-improvement had to be the last song queued up and not that it had to be the first one played. It's something that seems obvious in hindsight, but selecting the song for the recital wasn't something I'd considered as a factor (and is a feature I should use more in general). There's also the Deviljho Slap which isn't specifically about Hunting Horn but a key component of the fight that I'd not realized how it worked before. I'd gotten the knock down in the past but assumed it was a lucky stagger out of his counter and was unaware that any damage would have the same effect.
Hey Griffted. Hope all is well. I watched this video about an hour after you posted it but couldn’t comment at the time. Awesome job with this abridged version of your master class series. It’s cool watching your evolution with your editing! If others did videos like this for their weapons I could be a top tier player...okay maybe not but I’d be so much better. 😂 Thank you and keep up the amazing work! Take care mate.
I actually learned a lot of things from this video, instead of the usual "How to HH: Queue a song and press r2 twice". Also I really liked the editing style and the music you chose for the video, the lofi hip hop makes taking in the information really chill, instead of boring.
I don't intend to speedrun, like ever, but I do intend to optimize while remaining comfortable. Guides like this are nice, even for casuals like me who want to better understand a new weapon
I love the smack em in the face philosophy…I’m not well versed in the hunting horn I’ve always had trouble with the melodies….I greatly enjoy the complexity of the charge blade and have been trying to wrap my head around the hunting horn for some time and this video has been a great help…I wish you a 5 year late thank you!
I wish other content creators made guides that were as educational as yours. This was an incredible level of detail and I can't imagine how many hours it must have taken you to put everything together. I started with CB a few weeks ago, and only recently learned you can cancel the Charged Double Slash recovery into an Axe Morph for the Guard Point. That would have saved me so much HP, but I haven't found any guides that mention that yet. But your guide sounds like it covers every base you could possibly look for. I'm fiddling with the HBG now and plan on picking up the HH shortly.
This was probably the most useful tutorial for players who want to start using hunting horn. Now.... the weird thing is he does not have a lot of followers. Which is really odd. This is superb content! Keep up the good work!
This is such a beautiful guide! If i must say this is the best guide for anything I've ever seen anywhere! The flow, the tone, the colour and presentation is just amazing! Thank you for creating such art for the MHW community!
Finally someone else who really gets how this weapon works. It's a shame there's so few HH players in the community, it's such a satisfying weapon to use
I really miss you man, listening to you gave me some special vipes that I can't despripe deep without sounding wierd. Your videos are really something special dude.
I just want to say that this video was the beginning of my interest of playing hunting horn seriously. I watched it shortly before Iceborne came out, and didn’t actually try out HH until endgame, but had to watch again to make sure I was following tips. Now I enjoy HH so much more than any of the other weapons.
I wanted to attempt to learn HH since, after 700 hours playing solo because of lack of wifi, things can get very stale. This video is very helpful and I thank you sincerely for it, you have given be a drive to master the weapon for the day I enter multiplayer.
This is really good. its detailed yet easy to understand. Definitely gonna put those tips to use. Side note: can't wait to see what hunting horn weapons we'll get in Iceborne!!
After a couple hundred hours now I've decided to add HH to my list of weapons "mastered" and stumbled upon this gem of a video. Your level of knowledge about the extensive behind the scene mechanics of this game and your ability to present them in a clear, concise manner without oversimplifying it is amazing to say the least. Seriously mindblown by your attention to detail and quality for this series. You truly earned this Sub and many more. Look forward to binging the rest of your channel haha
Finally!! I’m just now seeing this but I’ve been wanting to get into the hunting horn but never found any real in-depth guides on it and I didn’t wanna play as a “support” so I’m so happy to see this. The quality is amazing! Great vid!
I just finished my college year in quarantine, but I'm dedicating the next two month to learning and mastering hunting horn. I found this video while randomly lingering on UA-cam, but you've given me my summer challenge. 🙂
I have to say, this is by far and large the best guide for dooters. Save for the new moves from iceborne, as a new player this has been invaluable. Thank you. When I was told to pick a weapon I chose the HH (naturally, why would you not want to beat monsters with a bagpipe) and haven't looked back.
I dnt use hunting horn much... Mostly gs... But I still love the hh.. To use it wen running wid frnds is an absolute joy & even wen I run with my gs I get a wide smile on my face whenever a hh player joins my SOS cos I know wat an hh can do & it can do great things.

Commenting to say that 4 years later - this video is exactly what I needed as a new HH player/main. Long live the doot doot.
Sad thing is, the only reason this has low views is because every single HH user watched it and it's still only 3k+.

You should be able to hear it too
just listening to the flourishes section gave me a headache... I thought the charge blade was a complicated weapon but jesus christ, props to anyone maining HH
hahahah I was worried that part would be too complicated and I was gunna do controller inputs on screen but ultimately decided against it
@@Griffted oh its all good, i gave the guide another watch and then practiced some HH stuff in the training room for around 2 hours. Massive props on the guide, really great and informative
yeah man, I was like, what I just watched after that section.
My friends: “HH is hunga bunga, just play your songs before the fight 4 head”
Me: “fool, you can’t comprehend the amount of button inputs I have to do.”
Friends: “oh yea, like what?”
Me: “draw attack into flourish then do the next note at the precise moment when the second swing animation starts, then back on LS and attack to hilt stab then flourish again gaining two more notes then hilt stab again, now I press R2 right after the hilt stab to do a quick recital, keeping in mind to play any 2 note song first for a quick encore performed by pressing R2 again after ye first performance is complete...and that’s just the first 5-10 seconds of the fight:)”
Friends: “. . .”
My friend who mains CB observing the conversation: “they never understand us huh”
Yeah I started a new game with my roommate and we’re doing first play through for him. I’ve been playing hunting horn on a whim, and soon I’m thinking it’s about to be my third most played weapon. It unexpectedly ended up being extremely fun in the 2 man hunts so far. 😅
You're the true Sapphire Star.
hahah thank you very much
That's so sweet! 💞
Just want to say that people like myself are still out here looking to master the HH and I'm very glad to have found this insanely dedicated and completely loaded video.

As someone who fell in love with the hunting horn as soon as she saw the concept, i really appreciate this video. Ive only started playing last month so this is amazing to up my game
Cheers and welcome!!!!!!!!
I gotta ask, You still Doot?
@@Sleepin-N-Snoozn I haven't been playing too much monster hunter lately but whenever i do play I'm still rocking that hunting horn~
Thanks for putting in the incredible effort to make all of these videos. MHW in 2018 was my first monster hunting experience, but i never learned how to "play" this game properly, just got a sword and shield and button mashed (and still loved it), but now I'm compelled to come give it another spin and learn to play it at its deeper level, like a high-speed chess game and these videos are just blowing my mind.
I finally got a 4 hunting horn squad together and it was glorious. I had devised a plan revolving on use of a horn that serves next to no purpose if no one else is playing with a horn.
TL;DR 4 horns with different buffs when selected appropriately can be fun and effective especially if Empress Roar "Blaze" is in the squad. Detailed reasons below.
Enter the Empress roar "blaze". It has a song of note that increases the duration (am assuming resets the duration) of ALL songs currently affecting the group. Which means for just I tiny bit of down time for the "blaze" user means A LOT of up time for the rest of the team.
So we each brought different horns with different effects (Deep Vero, Teostra's Ophee, Empress roar "blaze" and Desolation's Overture). The results were hilarious to the point the entire group was cracking up.
The first victim was a Nergigante and let's just say it spent more time staggered/K.O'd/exploded than it did fighting. We also managed to break of many of its black spikes (thanks to Teostra's Ophee status aliment attack up + the two dragon element horns) delaying the dive bomb.
Next was Kushala Daora which the Desolation's overture horn user swapped out to use Empress Roar "Styx" (negate ALL wind pressure). It was a bit more obnoxious as this thing likes to fly a lot but the number of blast procs was comical in itself.
Lastly came Teostra before my squad had to go. Again the Empress roar "Styx" swapped out horns this time sporting Dragon flute "water" (to increase fire resistance +10 and null blast blight). End result Teostra managed to kill one of us do to animation lock that horns have by using that massive explosion that it can create at range. Big ouch as we needed to replay all of the songs again to reapply the buffs to the fallen member. That aside dispelling his fire and blast aura and the resulting K.O's did make him fun to fight.
Mr. Thou that was awesome!! I always wanted to do a 4 player hunt and you guys sound like you nailed it!
I hope anyone who's watching this soaked in everything as much as I did when I first seen your series, which transformed me from scrub to guru. This is jam packed, from the cinematic scenes to visual guidance. You put a lot of love in this and I'm more than appreciative to have been a small part of it. Thank you so much!
Thanks for being there to help me make the video and push me to keep on plucking through even tho I wanted to throw it all away many times!!
That tip about the quest board while holding R1. Literally new favorite tip.......
Aye glad you got something out of it cheers bro
Ok god damn. As a HH user and abuser, VERY FIRST TIP blew me away and I had no idea it existed. This is gonna be a hell of a ride.
Thank you Griffted. This series has been my favorite MH content on UA-cam and has helped me a lot understanding the potential and skill ceiling of HH.
Thank you for watching and supporting Xan. It means a lot to me.

That new Echo Attack spin move is spicy
I thought I didn’t like HH because of the weapon, but after watching this and putting things I’ve learned to practice, I realized that I just didn’t know what I was doing.
Great video, man!
Extremely informative and easy to understand - perfect for anyone looking to use the hunting horn!
Thanks bro, big fan - cheers
This is a really great video not only because of its content, but also delivery. It's apparent that you love the weapon and are excited to teach others about it, and that feels really welcoming to HH newbies like myself. Thank you and keep dooting!
Thanks Takeshi I am really passionate about the weapon!
Never played HH, tried it in rise and quit it. Replayed World using horn and it's so much goddamn fun, this video still gets it's use.
i’ve played hunting horn ever since world, it was this video that truly made me fall in love with the weapon, this video is unlike any other guide for any game i have ever seen. i can’t believe how long it’s been, i wish nothing but the best for you, your career, wife and kids, keep on playing that sweet chin music homie
I just got bored of Switch Axe a few minutes ago and built that badass Deviljo horn. Then I realized I had no idea how to play with it, so I googled a guide and found this. Thank you so much, this is incredible.
Not sure if you read the comments here anymore, but I recently picked up Hunting Horn in Iceborne because of your video. All the videos I'd found about the Hunting Horn seemed to be from people who had maybe played it for a bit, not fully understood it, and just gotten a video out because it's one of the weapons, and they needed to make a tutorial for all of them. This video taught me that there's so much more to HH than I thought, and now I'm enjoying learning a new, highly technical weapon. I have a long way to go, but it's very rewarding.
I'm hoping you'll come back and do at least one new class for Iceborne, but hey, I think with this video I have enough to learn on my own from Iceborne speedruns, or other players making HH videos. Thanks a ton for the extremely helpful video, and for making me into a HH player!
Thanks for watching Polly, it means a lot to me. More than you know. Cheers
@@Griffted Hey I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I picked up Monster Hunter World during the latest Steam Summer Sale. It's the first Monster Hunter game I've ever really played and I picked up the Hunting Horn because I thought tooting monsters to death would be funny. A few weeks and a hundred hours of gameplay later I wanted to figure things out and found this video. For the first time I actually feel like I know what I'm doing, at least a little bit. I'm not just doing whatever recital or attack I feel like and actually thinking about how I'm playing the game. I'd love a post-iceborne update to this because I'm excited to know how speedrunners wound up making use of Echo Waves and the new songs like Impact Echo Wave. Regardless, thanks for all the help and teaching me how to better play that sweet chin music.
I love the 80s workplace training video thing you got going here. Good information conveyed well. Great job.
The editing, the way you present information, the music, everythings so perfect that it made me want to pick up the hunting horn. Spent all night practicing last night. Watching this to consolidate information.
You made me fall for the weapon.
Havent had this much fun in forever with a weapon.
Literally word for word same
I just wanted to say thank you, you help me a lot when i was learning how to use this wonderful weapon, thank you a lot, you're an incredible person
I've watched your video at least 4 times to learn the essentials and I wanted to say thank you. This helped me to effectively output damage, be more aggressive an queue my songs correctly. 11/10
Brooo! That reverse back slam is absolutely mind blowing! Thanks for the Tip. You're a beast for making this series!
33:58 as a hunting horn main, I relate to this so much. It just feels badass to be able to play a song while smacking something in the face and even better if you somehow manage to avoid a hit at the same time.
I considered myself a decent Dooter, after watching this video, I'm like, " do I even doot?"
Good stuff man.
#chinmusic
I said to myself after this. "i may doot, but do i dooot?"
Same.
Griffted, I just want to say man, as a budding HH hopeful, this vid is INSANELY informative. I’ve watched it a few times (and will continue to do so) and I’m really into it! World was my first MH, and it’s taken me almost 700 hours to finally give the Horn a serious go. I’ve got maybe 10 hours in and loving every minute! It’s my hope with practice I’ll be that rare breed of war bard that leads from the front! Thank you for your vids!
Signed,
A budding hopeful
17:42 The most inspiring part of the video.
Honestly I have watched this video like 6 to 8 times and I keep coming back because every time I learn something that I missed in previous times. I was trying to play Hunting Horn since I got my hands on Monster Hunter World but never knew the right way to play it, this video inspired me a lot to go further and further with it.
I'm in love with this piece of art.
Thank you so much Braulio! I want people to see the hh how I see it XD
If you are a serious Hunting Horn user you MUST watch this video and you can see the pure love put into this video for this niche weapon in MH Series.
I just wanted to add this, about the wake up re-positioning of Super pound using roll from the monster's head, some parts of their bodies can affect the range of waking up hit when the monster is sleeping like their front legs, horns, wings etc. that's why you can get mixed results from doing that.
And this, doing forward-recital (like Griffted said in his video the best way to do the forward-recital is after you do the forward slam or super pound) rapidly tap forward and the waking animation will get cancelled and your character will still move forward, if you have 3 queue songs you can actually travel long from where you started doing the recital lol this is only a situational application it's not that good and also it's not that bad and also it looks fun at least to me :)
Great video as always!
New subscriber from Jinjinx and Tuna, this is extremely helpful as someone who is learning the hunting horn. I tend to play super greedy as an aerial hammer main, so self-learning the hunting horn has been a rough road to follow. Thank you for these detailed and high quality tutorials, and I can’t wait to see more of your content.
Welcome and hopefully you continue to enjoy the content bro
Coming back to this video to give my thanks, Griffted. Hunting Horn was always a weapon I dabbled with from a young age when I first came into this franchise with FU on the PSP, but I never truly knew the weapon until I watched this video. It's by and far my favorite weapon to use now (we don't talk about Rise), and this video was an invaluable resource for being able to play it at a higher level, and gaining more enjoyment from doing so.
To this day, I consider Hunting Horn to be arguably the most difficult/complicated weapon to use to its full potential, but it also is unmatched in the satisfaction you get from playing it. Again, thank you very much for releasing this Masterclass video, and I would love to see you do it again come Wilds' release if you find the time.
omg epic, thank you so much!
You're a great inspiration, and giving players a lot of information that we cannot find in an easy way anywhere else is amaizing, keep the great work.
Thank you for the kind words, Hopefully this is a good resource for many more players to use
Watched the whole thing. I didn't know about that walk canceling thing while your character glows.
Thanks for the ad rev sucker
Thank you for the video. I'm a mostly self-taught hunting horn player (before starting out I needed to look which buttons do what attacks, lmao) and MHW is my first game. A lot of these I'd figured out on my own but there is still some moves I don't utilize much, like the back slam (I call it the fade bonk) and the neutral version of the flourish attack (still haven't found a use for this one...)
Where your videos nevertheless shone for me was in the application department. It's one thing to know what moves exist and how to do them, it's quite another thing to know how and where to use them, and what effect they specifically have. A lot of Japanese games are trial and error in the last department especially. For example, it was only yesterday I found out that hunting horn songs actually have different lengths for almost every song! I just naturally assumed that it'd be one length for stacking songs (eg. Attack Up) and one length for extendable songs (e.g. Earplugs) but no it's a whole bunch and you're not told that at any point in the game! That's the sort of thing I personally need a lot more of.
Actually, wait. That was you. On Jinjinx and Tuna's channel. OH WELL. Thank you again in that case!
ahahah yes it was me! Cheers and thank you for the lovely comment!
I thought I had a pretty good understanding on the HH. Then I watched this video... Thank you.
hahah that is great to hear, hope you continue playing hh!
God this is video is so good man. I am probably a boarder-line HH user. With around 200 hunts this video confirmed a lot of what I was discovering to be awesome and the style points comments are so true. These tips are gonna help me over that jump into greatness!
Yes exactly my thoughts. And remember your A.B.S. - always. be. Stylish.
I have been wanting to expand on the Hunting Horn for awhile now. I've been using Greatsword, Insect Glaive, and Gunlance as my main three but I've always felt the Horn was underrated and that it needs some love. I've built all of the best ones and thanks to this I might just be able to perfect it. Thank you Griffted.
You're welcome Thresher I appreciate you
I just personally wanna say the deviljho slap aka neutral recitals and qtabs have changed my life, I've been watching this as often as needed to play that sweet chin music as fluently and gracefully as I can since being recently converted to the HH. Great guide, withstands the test of time thanks for the info!
Thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad you got something from this video!
one of the best hunting horn guides. very in-depth. keep up the great work!
Well thank you very much for the kind word and will do omega!
I've always had a certain taste for Hunting Horn and learned most of the techniques by myself but honestly thanks to this, I can finally consider myself a Hunting Horn Genius, started in mh4u and still rocking with the killer beat, I'll be among the few THE PROUD WHO'S WITH ME HUNTING HORN MAINS/FANS?
👍
Awesome to hear bro thank you!
Wish there were ppl with the same love for the other weapons that would make a masterclass like this.
tieltavisvt has an incredible lance guide you have to check out - but i totally agree. Would love to see more top players put out their own masterclasses's
Lance video:
ua-cam.com/video/T6x4inXgCMk/v-deo.html
I love this. Just this entire style is so satisfying and brings me back.
Glad you enjoyed it Jake
MHW is my first MH game that I've ever played. My friends are usually the ones that always play metas on online games. But I love playing the low tiers. They remind me of personal stuff, so I always try to prove to others how, even low tiers, are capable of doing better when you know how to play their strenghts.
So, I asked my friends which weapon was the worst, and they told me "Hunting Horn". And that's when I knew I wanted to play that.
I finished all the campaign with only Hunting Horn, and it really grew on me the love for the weapon.
That's why playing HH agressively/efficiently is such a good rush.
Really appreciated the video :)
I've been playing this weapon for fun, never thought there is this deep mechanism behind it. This weapon strikes me as an enigma especially the recital and encore where directions and your last move and attacks get involved in deciding which recital will you get. I really like using hunting horn in Worlds because the last time I used this was in MHP3rd where it still sucks. Thank you for the Masterclass, and I will be sure to tell my newly-fond-of-monster-hunter friends to use hunting horn. Let this guides be known to all. Praise you
The original series is what made me an HH main, I'm glad to see it get the love it deserves. Now back to my HH only FU run.
I picked up the hh this weekend flailing wildly as I did when I played through the first time with mixed success. Got comfy over time. Now with your guidance I can refine and I thank you for sharing your skills! Keep up the sweet chin music kind sir!
Thats what I'm here for Seth, now you have to get really good and show everyone else how to play the hh properly! Cheers
I came for the sweet chin music. I was not disappointed because you said it a few times. Easy like from me.
Also in all seriousness thanks for including my clip and for the mention in the description.
Of course thanks for helping me out and providing a very dope clip xoxo
Hunting Horn was the last weapon of the 14 that I picked up. It's quickly becoming a faviourite in World and Iceborne for me. This video is such a useful tool to learn the general concept of the weapon and the depths you can take your HH gameplay. Even with the changes in Iceborne, this video stays relevant. Also, this is one of the best edited videos I've seen lately on UA-cam. The style just fits perfectly to the purpose of the video. Amazing!
R1 speeds up quest menu loading...................I have literally over 500 hours into this game through PS4 and PC, and just NOW learned that. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Just tried hunting horn earlier before watching this video..
This video answered all of my issues I had while using the hunting horn for the first time. Thank you.
Great to hear Roger, keep playin that sweet chin music!
As a Hunting Horn purist (I have only played the hunting horn for every game I have ever played in the series) this is such an amazing vid. It's really cool to see the techniques I have learned and all the things burned into my muscle memory be quantified in such a way! I love the HH and this video did it justice!!
U must be a god..
24:00 oh thats how you do that... thank you so much that, i've been trying pressing start or holding x and stuff. here I was just checking out what high level HH is like and I got that gem.
hahha so cool you caught that lol cheers
I'll finish this later tonight, but this specific video shows why MH is one of the best franchises ever created.
The tomes worth of esoteric knowledge... you just showed me two things I never knew, and I actually play Horn pretty regularly.
I've been playing the series for eleven years. Some of these concepts actually work BACKWARDS, too. I couldn't use HH effectively at all 10 years ago, but thanks to understanding of its purpose and knowledge of the move set's skeleton, I can effectively go back in time and use the Horn pretty well in the Freedom series.
Thanks so much for this.
This is quality content if ever seen it. Between the production and care and well thought explanation. Also that smooth music and transition. You got a sub and a new HH user out of me.
Well Steve you did not have to sub but I am glad you did. Most importantly I'm glad you enjoyed this and got something out of it - cheers
Been a Dual Blade main since MHFU. But everything change when my curiosity came, I thought being a HH main would be just a support player.... So I researched and researched until I removed all the misconceptions and tried it myself.
You are one of the reason I’m a HH main in MHW:Iceborne now.(It’s so much funnnn) Wouldn’t have shifted without you guys(Gaijin Hunter, Grifted,Arekkz, Monster Hunter World PH)
So thank youuu from the bottom of my heart for not only introducing a weapon and showing me the basics as well as the advance tips.
The effort in editing this video alone makes me want to learn this weapon. Really nice work!
Thank you for the hard work
As a newborn HH main i will take your lessons to the heart
I started to use the hunting horn yesterday and man I'm in love. I thought there was nothing better than getting a true charge in the face of a monster and now I can play the music of my people to topple my enemies
Welcome to the family roberto!
This is a really well done and polished video, I am going to follow these instructions religiously.
Thanks Qing keep it up!
Came here to learn about HH, got out with life lessons and now im a Doot Doot main
oh gosh! As long as you enjoyed the video tho XD
In all honesty, I've sought after to effectively learn the melee weapon of the game- barely skipping the hunting horn as I saw my style of play for it fit enough to go on hunts with it whenever I need to. Now I've realized so many mistakes I've been doing and SOOO MUCH room for improvement. This video has really made me respect the dedication and fortitude it takes to master the weapon, and and just pushes me to really work on improving. Props for the lessons, sensei.
Slowly but surely, I finally got around to finishing this series. This was wonderfully crafted and I definitely learned some new tricks, like turning for the backslam and the double note cancel. Keep at it Griffted and keep dootin on!
Thanks for checking it out Lumini, and will do!
As someone who's been using Hunting Horn exclusively for _World,_ this just cleared me up on a few mechanics I'd not fully grasped. Like, I knew about the quick recital and the self improvement variation, but I'd made the mistake of thinking self-improvement had to be the last song queued up and not that it had to be the first one played. It's something that seems obvious in hindsight, but selecting the song for the recital wasn't something I'd considered as a factor (and is a feature I should use more in general).
There's also the Deviljho Slap which isn't specifically about Hunting Horn but a key component of the fight that I'd not realized how it worked before. I'd gotten the knock down in the past but assumed it was a lucky stagger out of his counter and was unaware that any damage would have the same effect.
Best HH Guide on youtube
Best comment on youtube xoxox
Hey Griffted. Hope all is well. I watched this video about an hour after you posted it but couldn’t comment at the time. Awesome job with this abridged version of your master class series. It’s cool watching your evolution with your editing! If others did videos like this for their weapons I could be a top tier player...okay maybe not but I’d be so much better. 😂
Thank you and keep up the amazing work! Take care mate.
Cheers Riffer thanks for the continued support!
I actually learned a lot of things from this video, instead of the usual "How to HH: Queue a song and press r2 twice".
Also I really liked the editing style and the music you chose for the video, the lofi hip hop makes taking in the information really chill, instead of boring.
I decided I wanted to pick up the Hunting Horn for my return to the game after a long hiatus, and this was a huge help. Thank you, Dootmaster Griffted
I don't intend to speedrun, like ever, but I do intend to optimize while remaining comfortable. Guides like this are nice, even for casuals like me who want to better understand a new weapon
As someone just picking up the Hunting Horn, this series has taught me a lot. This is fantastic work
I love the smack em in the face philosophy…I’m not well versed in the hunting horn I’ve always had trouble with the melodies….I greatly enjoy the complexity of the charge blade and have been trying to wrap my head around the hunting horn for some time and this video has been a great help…I wish you a 5 year late thank you!
I started researching HH after the Wilds video and thinking of picking it up. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this, EXTREMELY helpful
I got a cup a coffee now im ready.
I wish other content creators made guides that were as educational as yours. This was an incredible level of detail and I can't imagine how many hours it must have taken you to put everything together.
I started with CB a few weeks ago, and only recently learned you can cancel the Charged Double Slash recovery into an Axe Morph for the Guard Point. That would have saved me so much HP, but I haven't found any guides that mention that yet. But your guide sounds like it covers every base you could possibly look for.
I'm fiddling with the HBG now and plan on picking up the HH shortly.
This was probably the most useful tutorial for players who want to start using hunting horn. Now.... the weird thing is he does not have a lot of followers. Which is really odd. This is superb content! Keep up the good work!
This is such a beautiful guide! If i must say this is the best guide for anything I've ever seen anywhere! The flow, the tone, the colour and presentation is just amazing! Thank you for creating such art for the MHW community!
Extremely well made.
Thanks for the efforts on a low-played weapon type.
I'm so happy you finally remade it. Keep it up griff
Thank you Sam, now hopefully people will forget the original episode 1 now! XD
Finally someone else who really gets how this weapon works. It's a shame there's so few HH players in the community, it's such a satisfying weapon to use
I really miss you man, listening to you gave me some special vipes that I can't despripe deep without sounding wierd.
Your videos are really something special dude.
I just want to say that this video was the beginning of my interest of playing hunting horn seriously. I watched it shortly before Iceborne came out, and didn’t actually try out HH until endgame, but had to watch again to make sure I was following tips. Now I enjoy HH so much more than any of the other weapons.
I wanted to attempt to learn HH since, after 700 hours playing solo because of lack of wifi, things can get very stale. This video is very helpful and I thank you sincerely for it, you have given be a drive to master the weapon for the day I enter multiplayer.
Awesome to hear Lagneia and thank you for the kind words!
Love playing HH!!!
I hope they add the double note system they introduced in X/XX back into the game with the Iceborne update.
I do like the double note system because it encourages aggressive gameplay!
Griffted It was really the “fix” HH needed to push people away from camping in the corner. Sigh. I miss it A LOT.
Double note system is great. Anything that encourages aggressive play and discourages corner horning is good.
This is really good. its detailed yet easy to understand. Definitely gonna put those tips to use.
Side note: can't wait to see what hunting horn weapons we'll get in Iceborne!!
Awesome bro and yes I am super excited for Iceborne!
Cannot thank you enough for this guide, this truly does bring a smile on my face
Damn that is a great video you made man ! This is solid job and great content ! The true HH god
When is TDS try-outs?
This is content is pure gold, here’s another hunter converted to the HH. Thanks for putting out high effort and high quality content like this :)
After a couple hundred hours now I've decided to add HH to my list of weapons "mastered" and stumbled upon this gem of a video. Your level of knowledge about the extensive behind the scene mechanics of this game and your ability to present them in a clear, concise manner without oversimplifying it is amazing to say the least. Seriously mindblown by your attention to detail and quality for this series. You truly earned this Sub and many more. Look forward to binging the rest of your channel haha
I just came from MH SUNBREAK and this video is exactly what I was looking for. Hats off to you, sir!
Finally!! I’m just now seeing this but I’ve been wanting to get into the hunting horn but never found any real in-depth guides on it and I didn’t wanna play as a “support” so I’m so happy to see this. The quality is amazing! Great vid!
I loved the editing in this video. You can see the love put into it. Amazing!
Thank you so much, I am really proud of this one!
Still coming back to this vid even after two years, it is by far the best assessment of the HH moveset/philosophy in general.
I just finished my college year in quarantine, but I'm dedicating the next two month to learning and mastering hunting horn. I found this video while randomly lingering on UA-cam, but you've given me my summer challenge. 🙂
I have to say, this is by far and large the best guide for dooters. Save for the new moves from iceborne, as a new player this has been invaluable. Thank you.
When I was told to pick a weapon I chose the HH (naturally, why would you not want to beat monsters with a bagpipe) and haven't looked back.
I dnt use hunting horn much... Mostly gs... But I still love the hh.. To use it wen running wid frnds is an absolute joy & even wen I run with my gs I get a wide smile on my face whenever a hh player joins my SOS cos I know wat an hh can do & it can do great things.
it sure can! Cheers
