I've been playing through FU for the first time and your guides have been my go-to when I'm stuck or just need some tips, thanks for all the hard work putting these together, they're fantastic.
I remember my first Tigrex hunt just because how badly I got beaten up by that thing. I walked into that fight with full confidence that it couldn’t break through my Gunlance shield, then it did that triple-boulder attack while I was right up in its face and it one-shotted me with my shield up. I didn’t mentally recover from that attack for a while
oof, it's rough honestly!! If you have power juice though you can block infinitely for its duration because it gives you infinite stamina, you could maybe give that a try. Personally I find Lance to be the best choice when fighting Tigrex 😌
I've been playing MH for several years now, hadn't been having much trouble with MHFU up until this point, and this quest STILL got me frustrated. That damage, those hitboxes, getting tripped if you graze any part of him, etc. 2nd gen really is something else. This guide was a big help!
Yeah! Tigrex is honestly one of the worst parts of MHFU IMO :( even worse than Plesioth lol Fortunately, after... years... I found out that Lance is actually kind of insane vs Tigrex, and I'd highly recommend you use that against him if you're still having trouble and/or farming for his gear. In low and high rank you can use a GS and head snipe him like in this video, and it's fun and pretty effective though risky, but in G-Rank, the Defense modifier and higher stagger limits make one hit staggering Tigrex with a level 3 charge impossible without very specific equipment (or some level of management of that stagger limit which feels dicey at best) that I didn't want to expect players to get when following my series, so I had to find an alternative, and I'm very glad that I did. Here's that video if you'd like to see it 🙂: ua-cam.com/video/Wk8PWuIc3ng/v-deo.html I also defeated him without leaving 1★ village using the Lance, it's that good: ua-cam.com/video/g8f7_Yte7wo/v-deo.html Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could help! 😊
@@HeadHunter455 I actually like Lance in the later games but I wasn't completely sold on it in FU yet. I'll definitely give it a try! Update: Your Lance strat was super easy. I underestimated how much damage guard pokes can still do!
😄😄 That's great! I'm glad! And yeah haha, oof, when I was making the Lao video my heart was a pumpin, I kept feeling like I was gonna fail the quest or something lol, definitely felt similar on some of the side videos vs Tigrex T.T
HornPub answered my call of letting me farm tigrex 😌 your guide on turn timings helped a lot! Thanks! got full tigrex set but later ditched for azurath👍
After years of waiting, Finally charge up PSP. Turn on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite [MHFU]. Get after the one that got away. Study Tigrex' patterns and wait for openings to strike. cue trembling arms After the halfway point, finally slay the beast. Almosy yell, "I'm not afraid of you anymore!" Nostalgia, man. This is all happened just an hour ago. Great video btw, really helped, I actually went and used a LS, because I was a bit jittery during the whole thing.
@@HeadHunter455 gonna take me a few if not several hours to farm Tigrex at this rate with Eager Cleaver. I'll try my blade at Kirin another date to upgrade said Eager Cleaver.
Thanks for this. Im a newbie but farmed like hell for materials coz games like freedom wars and dark chronicle taught me to always come prepared. I was gathering resources during a treasure quest, when i ran into this guy. I already had a rarity 3 hammer because of my farming, but he still clapped my cheeks. Then decided to go back to farming and strategize. On that very next mission, a rathalos wanted a 3some with me and a genprey. >.
oof haha, yeah no problem! Tigrex is a bit of a problem in this game unfortunately. The only weapon that can consistently deal with him in my opinion is Lance, but in low and high rank, Greatsword can work quite well too. I hope you're having a great time! Keep it up 😄
So the Urgent Quest has just been handed to me. Your vids have been great help man, but I am nervous af lmaooo. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for your vids!
Hey that's great to hear :) I remember being nervous before fighting new monsters, you don't get that feeling too often :P Thanks for wathcing! I'm glad you like em, good luck, you got this! 😄
Thanks for the guide as always. Been playing this series for almost a decade now and have always used the GS when fighting him for all that time. Been thinking of starting fresh and learning how to guard lance him instead, got any tips/exp you can share to help me out? Been grinding the Black Belt Lance in prep for it lol
You could get some evasion or guard skills. Evasion skills might be a better time if you can get the hang of backhopping through his attacks. I made a gunlance video, it went... alright, lol ua-cam.com/video/Q_CG124qVGA/v-deo.html You can kinda use that to get a general idea I guess. Maybe I'll try lance but I'm not very good with it.
HeadHunter455 Thanks for the advice, just got done watching the video! Personally not confident at all w/ my Evd Lancing so I’ve gemmed the Hermitaur armor to Grd+1, hopefully it’ll be enough to slog through his charges unscathed. Also on an unrelated note, I’ve also watched your Plesioth guide and I hope you give guard lancing a shot w/ him if you have the time. He’s fairly easy to lance cuz you dont have to worry w/ the janky hitbox from the checks. Keep up the vids mate! ^^
np, I hope it was at least entertaining haha Guarding is a great alternative to evading, I'm not sure the specifics of the armor skills though and how it affects performance. Thanks! :D I'd like to fight each of the monsters with different weapons (probably in low rank, we'll see) eventually, just to help give an idea of how the fight could go, Lance vs Plesioth sounds fun 😄
I read online comments before I downloaded the game, as to which is the best monster hunter game for psp, people's complains about this game are the camera controls, I honestly don't have an issue about it even fast paced fights like this I can manage to adjust everything, this is my first monster hunter game and it is so darn good
Hey! Glad you're having a good time with it, I hope you continue having a great time, I think MHFU is a *perfect* place to start. Yeah, the camera controls on a PSP can be rough because of how it was set up, on a modern controller it's a lot less annoying, but either way, tapping L to swing the camera behind your character also makes camera control very simple and effective, and even with a second analog stick, people should use it.
@TNTelephant yeah, it's really rough :/ They didn't give us enough in this iteration to deal with his bs lol, that's why I stick with lance for this fight. Good luck!
Yeah, Tigrex is really tough!! Try and stick with it, if you're really having a lot of trouble you can try using Lance. I fought Tigrex at the start of the game with a lance and it went sort of well; ua-cam.com/video/g8f7_Yte7wo/v-deo.html Good luck!
I got to fight this in monster hunter rise and it’s unironically one of my favorite monsters after learning him both from this and learning his patterns
😄 I'm glad to hear it! Tigrex is a bit annoying in the early games because we don't have much to counter his stuff, but in later games he's pretty good, I think 🙂
Id say the snowy mountains was a pretty difficult map to fight tigrex in , it was pretty claustrophobic and he will be in your face a lot. If not for the exploitable wall chomp. In the desert it was much easier , mostly because of more breathing space.
Yeah, he's really tough unless you're using Lance IMO Various things can work in low and high rank, but in G rank, if I'm solo, I'm grabbing my big shield weapon.
Yeah, he's really tough unless you're using Lance IMO Various things can work in low and high rank, but in G rank, if I'm solo, I'm grabbing my big shield weapon. While everything is possible solo, multi-player really kinda let's you play how you want, it's much more enjoyable with others.
I have a long way to go. LOL I just started playing this game on ppsspp emulator yesterday, and lately I encountered this in my gathering quest. Luckily, I survived running away. 😂😂
thanks for adding that beggining part in, too many people ive heard mispronounce tigrex as ''tea-grex'' like what? you dont call a tiger a ''tea-ger'' do you?
Nice vid and nice guide welp time to hunt me some Tiger/dino meat. Welp wish myself luck. Also: 2:21 well it seems that unlike Garuga the tigrex was ready for that kick (no offense dude)
😉😉😉 lmao no offense, I get hit a lot for comedic effect and stuff like that 😜😜 I mean, I'm definitely not that bad normally.... aha.... for sure, definitely not 😅😅 :P
no one asked but. i just beaten the "land of tremor" key quest. not gonna lie it was very easy I just needed the right strategy using flash bombs. and i also rewatched this for some help too and i finally perfected the art of rolling under it's arms.
Not against Tigrex, but I've used Lance against Plesioth and KutKu :/ I guess you could check my gunlance guide? I don't use the gun part of it, and the attacks are different, but maybe similar enough?
I try to not use many items like traps and flash bombs and stuff, so I can give examples for what to do if you run out or don't want to use them. Definitely feel free to use items like those though.
Hey man can I ask what armor I should use as gunner in this stage of the game? I just defeated blangonga and now at the 4 star quest and was wonder what boss I should grind for armor
I've killed that thing even when I'm in level 3 quest with longsword "fallen" and some bombs at exactly 20 minutes. I failed during first try because I ran out of time to return to camp only realizing that I have to bring farcaster next time
Man us veteran hunters truly came a long way from where we were I remember playing mhfu with my cousin when I was 12 years old that was 10 years ago for me
Your video is helping me aince the Giadrome and then now i'll face this Tigrex, is it okay to use LS against this monster? Cause u use LS in every guide and then I start using it and kinda mastering it because of you, and now you change to GS, should I learn the GS for this monster or LS just enough?
Hey, glad to hear it! 🙂 Longsword is a great weapon, but I think GS is one of the better matchups for Tigrex. I have a video of Tigrex vs Longsword, but it didn't go very well: ua-cam.com/video/ArMzApkPmxU/v-deo.html Feel free to experiment with things, even if I don't necessarily cover it. Thanks for watching, I hope you have a good time in the game! 😄
😣😣😣 He's a really tough fight!! As you get better at the game (and better equipment) I'm sure you can lower that time and get hit less, if you wanted to. If you're using a weapon other than GS, maybe check out the other Tigrex videos I have, I've covered almost all weapons vs Tigrex by now except Hunting Horn and Lance
I was hunting him last night. I wore a cenataur set because of the sharp sword and sword sharpening skill and the ravager blade because of the +8 defense but since I don't know how to outrun him most of the time, I usually die 2 times before I either abandon the quest or try and last for a while. The first run was great. Died 2 times but I broke his claws, tail and captured him. Now I'm aiming to get some parts for a decent tigrex SnS (even tho the affinity sucks). I didn't do it alone. I'm with my cat so most of the time it's chaotic (I can't go in alone because I don't trust my ass and my cat has the true health flute, good for times when I'm the one getting hunted). With this, I might try it again but I don't know if I could do what I did way back...
Yeah, it's really tough honestly. I'd really recommend using Lance, you can do what I do in my G-Rank video if that helps at all: ua-cam.com/video/Wk8PWuIc3ng/v-deo.html I can't find another way that is nearly as effective throughout the game. You can head snipe in low and maybe high rank at least, that's pretty fun :) Good luck!! It's a challenge for sure, but not one that is impossible to overcome 😊
@@HeadHunter455 Thanks for the tips man! I'll probably gonna retry the tigrex each time I have the opportunity. Seems like it's a good training for me to learn decent quick reflexes.
@@thegamingcephalos9412 No problem! 😄 Good luck! Tigrex is... maybe not at his best in this game lol, but there's ways around it. Hang in there, you got this!! 🙂
How do you cut the tail with GS? I'm an LS, SnS, and Hammer user, but I'd admit that GS, HBG, and Lance are becoming my favorites. I find Tigrex to be one of the hardest monster to hunt, even with LS and SnS which are my two most used weapons. But I do find using GS against Tigrex is actually easier, but I would love to hunt it with Hammer.
Tigrex is a massive pain in the ass, ignore everyone who tries to brag about how easy it is, they're idiots lol I'd say that GS is the best match up vs Tigrex IMO, but you can make a few things work. I also think Dual Blades worked pretty well too. To cut the tail with GS you should do what I'm doing in the video but instead of aiming for his head as he turns around, just attack his tail directly. Since his main form of attack is to charge at you, you'll often find yourself behind him, even if it's just an unsheathe attack, hit his tail as much as you can and it'll come off eventually. Good luck! 😄
@@HeadHunter455 Thanks. I managed to cut the tail just hours after I posted this comment. Lmao. I had to resort to using 3 Shock Traps (2 from combining) in order to properly cut its tail, and then capture it. Now I just need its Skull Shell.
I have just started this game on emulator and i am new to this game and your videos are very helpful , can you make a video on weapons and armours , like which weapon to take , which armour to take , advantage, disadvantage
If you follow my guide series I recommend an armor set in each one, it should translate to bowguns as well, as for weapons, there is a very useful guide that I use all the time here, though they don't cover bowguns, only bows: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283 I hope you have fun with the game! 🙂
If they add more time for the popo tongue, with enough preparations I will definitely able kill him, like in 3 portable, I able to kill Zinogre dispute using very basic armor
Yeah I did a challenge thing on stream about that actually, it was a lot of fun, I may revisit it with a different weapon type some time. ua-cam.com/video/g8f7_Yte7wo/v-deo.html
I remember it took me many tries trying to fight this thing Everytime a Tigrex quest is up i just go "nope" But funny enough.... the next game i tried Portable 3rd.... he wasnt as bad as i thought
Yeh lol, it's definitely... a different time in MHFU. In 4u I got my charge blade, guard points, in World I got the GS tackle lmao In MHFU I got... a greatsword I guess.
@@AM-rs4yv And i also feel like its less Tanky in P3RD In MHFU on any rank it feels like forever just to kill 1 single Tigrex Also, unlike in MHFU where for no reason his attack is Dragon element damage, P3RD is Raw damage Exception being the Throwing attacks can be Ice and Fire depending the map
Either one works, they will probably reward the same things, just depends on where you prefer to fight. Definitely an argument to be made for the desert being a good choice, having such large open areas.
It's fine, I tried covering this fight with most weapons, I didn't get to all of them but I did cover bow: ua-cam.com/video/DAKzP5qgRs4/v-deo.html It's doing a bit of sleep bombing too, but I hope it helps!!

😉😉 Thanks 😄😄
I still remember my first fight with this guy on the psp I was wearing full hermitaur armor and also using the hermitaur greatsword Good times.
Nice :)
I've been playing through FU for the first time and your guides have been my go-to when I'm stuck or just need some tips, thanks for all the hard work putting these together, they're fantastic.
That's awesome to hear!! 😄
I'm glad you're using my videos to, hopefully, have a better time with the game 🙂
Thanks for watching!
I remember my first Tigrex hunt just because how badly I got beaten up by that thing. I walked into that fight with full confidence that it couldn’t break through my Gunlance shield, then it did that triple-boulder attack while I was right up in its face and it one-shotted me with my shield up. I didn’t mentally recover from that attack for a while
oof, it's rough honestly!! If you have power juice though you can block infinitely for its duration because it gives you infinite stamina, you could maybe give that a try. Personally I find Lance to be the best choice when fighting Tigrex 😌
I've been playing MH for several years now, hadn't been having much trouble with MHFU up until this point, and this quest STILL got me frustrated. That damage, those hitboxes, getting tripped if you graze any part of him, etc. 2nd gen really is something else. This guide was a big help!
Yeah! Tigrex is honestly one of the worst parts of MHFU IMO :( even worse than Plesioth lol
Fortunately, after... years... I found out that Lance is actually kind of insane vs Tigrex, and I'd highly recommend you use that against him if you're still having trouble and/or farming for his gear.
In low and high rank you can use a GS and head snipe him like in this video, and it's fun and pretty effective though risky, but in G-Rank, the Defense modifier and higher stagger limits make one hit staggering Tigrex with a level 3 charge impossible without very specific equipment (or some level of management of that stagger limit which feels dicey at best) that I didn't want to expect players to get when following my series, so I had to find an alternative, and I'm very glad that I did.
Here's that video if you'd like to see it 🙂: ua-cam.com/video/Wk8PWuIc3ng/v-deo.html
I also defeated him without leaving 1★ village using the Lance, it's that good: ua-cam.com/video/g8f7_Yte7wo/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could help! 😊
@@HeadHunter455 I actually like Lance in the later games but I wasn't completely sold on it in FU yet. I'll definitely give it a try!
Update: Your Lance strat was super easy. I underestimated how much damage guard pokes can still do!
A bitter taste of upper tier monsters...the music is also wonderful for tigers, love it!
😩😩😩
😄😄😄
This guide really helped me out and got me prepared for frenzied Tigrex.
... my palms were still sweating by the end of hunt though 😅
😄😄 That's great! I'm glad!
And yeah haha, oof, when I was making the Lao video my heart was a pumpin, I kept feeling like I was gonna fail the quest or something lol, definitely felt similar on some of the side videos vs Tigrex T.T
nice to see this again after over 5 years of retirement
🙂
This guide is a work of art. If someone still fails he just needs to practice
Haha I appreciate the kind words! 🙂
And yeah, some practice is definitely pretty important 😄
0:35 "this time is personal" now that was epic
😄😄😄
@@HeadHunter455 keep making these vids, you are really helping me through this game, thanks!!
Hello! I love your tutorials for MHFU. This game honestly is good but it doesn't have many good tutorials out there. You filled that void.
Yeah! I felt that way too, it's why I felt like I should've made them :P
A Freedom united guide in 2020? Yes please!
👉😉👉
HornPub answered my call of letting me farm tigrex 😌
your guide on turn timings helped a lot! Thanks! got full tigrex set but later ditched for azurath👍
Glad I could help 😄
can't wait for the next ♥♥♥
😉😉😉
I dedicate my 10+ attempt kill to you, great videos man 😎
😄 nice! Thanks :)
Man this guide really woulda helped 11 years ago
it still can lmao, for me at least
thisiswrathspeaking good luck with him he is quite the hunt for a first timer
Yeah lmao, that's how I felt when I figured I should make videos like this 😝😝😝
After years of waiting,
Finally charge up PSP.
Turn on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite [MHFU].
Get after the one that got away.
Study Tigrex' patterns and wait for openings to strike.
cue trembling arms
After the halfway point, finally slay the beast.
Almosy yell,
"I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
Nostalgia, man.
This is all happened just an hour ago. Great video btw, really helped, I actually went and used a LS, because I was a bit jittery during the whole thing.
Great job!! I'm really glad you were able to get through it! 😄
Thanks for watching, I hope you keep going and have a great time in the game 🙂
@@HeadHunter455 gonna take me a few if not several hours to farm Tigrex at this rate with Eager Cleaver. I'll try my blade at Kirin another date to upgrade said Eager Cleaver.
Thanks for this. Im a newbie but farmed like hell for materials coz games like freedom wars and dark chronicle taught me to always come prepared. I was gathering resources during a treasure quest, when i ran into this guy. I already had a rarity 3 hammer because of my farming, but he still clapped my cheeks. Then decided to go back to farming and strategize. On that very next mission, a rathalos wanted a 3some with me and a genprey. >.
oof haha, yeah no problem!
Tigrex is a bit of a problem in this game unfortunately. The only weapon that can consistently deal with him in my opinion is Lance, but in low and high rank, Greatsword can work quite well too.
I hope you're having a great time! Keep it up 😄
So the Urgent Quest has just been handed to me. Your vids have been great help man, but I am nervous af lmaooo. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for your vids!
Hey that's great to hear :)
I remember being nervous before fighting new monsters, you don't get that feeling too often :P
Thanks for wathcing! I'm glad you like em, good luck, you got this! 😄
@@HeadHunter455 UPDATE dude I just finished it! Couldn't believe it tbh! Thank you for your guides, I'll be sticking to them until High Rank!
just fought this guy with my homie for the first time today in the gathering hall. can't believe this is just low rank, this game is insane!
Nice! haha you'll get the hang of it, Tigrex is honestly just really rough in this game too.
Game?
I've been binge watching these guides and I am so loving the editing and the guides itself.
😄😄 I'm glad I've given you something to watch, and that you like them! :)
@@HeadHunter455 Totes. Lookin' forward to whatever videos you're gon publish
*The video talks about Tigrex*
The video: This time its personal.
Me: ...and I took that personally
lol for real 😭
that music can give hunters a +3 Effectiveness during Large Monster hunts, Concentration Lv2 and Focus Lv3.
A Huge Buff comming from a simple song.
huh
should put those buffs on hunting horn
Thanks for the guide as always. Been playing this series for almost a decade now and have always used the GS when fighting him for all that time. Been thinking of starting fresh and learning how to guard lance him instead, got any tips/exp you can share to help me out?
Been grinding the Black Belt Lance in prep for it lol
You could get some evasion or guard skills. Evasion skills might be a better time if you can get the hang of backhopping through his attacks.
I made a gunlance video, it went... alright, lol
ua-cam.com/video/Q_CG124qVGA/v-deo.html
You can kinda use that to get a general idea I guess.
Maybe I'll try lance but I'm not very good with it.
HeadHunter455 Thanks for the advice, just got done watching the video!
Personally not confident at all w/ my Evd Lancing so I’ve gemmed the Hermitaur armor to Grd+1, hopefully it’ll be enough to slog through his charges unscathed.
Also on an unrelated note, I’ve also watched your Plesioth guide and I hope you give guard lancing a shot w/ him if you have the time. He’s fairly easy to lance cuz you dont have to worry w/ the janky hitbox from the checks.
Keep up the vids mate! ^^
np, I hope it was at least entertaining haha
Guarding is a great alternative to evading, I'm not sure the specifics of the armor skills though and how it affects performance.
Thanks! :D
I'd like to fight each of the monsters with different weapons (probably in low rank, we'll see) eventually, just to help give an idea of how the fight could go, Lance vs Plesioth sounds fun 😄
I read online comments before I downloaded the game, as to which is the best monster hunter game for psp, people's complains about this game are the camera controls, I honestly don't have an issue about it even fast paced fights like this I can manage to adjust everything, this is my first monster hunter game and it is so darn good
Hey! Glad you're having a good time with it, I hope you continue having a great time, I think MHFU is a *perfect* place to start.
Yeah, the camera controls on a PSP can be rough because of how it was set up, on a modern controller it's a lot less annoying, but either way, tapping L to swing the camera behind your character also makes camera control very simple and effective, and even with a second analog stick, people should use it.
The PacMan of Monster Hunter.
waga waga waga waga
😉😉
Every time I say “I can beat this guy”
He wombo combos me and carts me in 1 min
@TNTelephant yeah, it's really rough :/
They didn't give us enough in this iteration to deal with his bs lol, that's why I stick with lance for this fight.
Good luck!
Im watching this right now cuz tigrex freaking hard, im actually playing rn and watching this at the same time
Yeah, Tigrex is really tough!!
Try and stick with it, if you're really having a lot of trouble you can try using Lance.
I fought Tigrex at the start of the game with a lance and it went sort of well;
ua-cam.com/video/g8f7_Yte7wo/v-deo.html
Good luck!
I got to fight this in monster hunter rise and it’s unironically one of my favorite monsters after learning him both from this and learning his patterns
😄 I'm glad to hear it!
Tigrex is a bit annoying in the early games because we don't have much to counter his stuff, but in later games he's pretty good, I think 🙂
ah that tigrex reaction after getting a level 3 slash
😎😎😎
8:53 love this scene
Haha, it's tense 😅😅😅
Really luv this guide thankyuu so easy to understand it
Glad to hear it :) Thanks for watching!
A nice guide indeed, hats off to you sir..
Thanks! 😀
Id say the snowy mountains was a pretty difficult map to fight tigrex in , it was pretty claustrophobic and he will be in your face a lot. If not for the exploitable wall chomp.
In the desert it was much easier , mostly because of more breathing space.
Yeah, seriously the areas are so small T.T
@@HeadHunter455 AND THESE FUCKING STONES
i love that these guides are so recent, i feel like your humor is now part of the expirience of mhfu, now is time to kill tigrex
😄😄😄 Thanks! That means a lot! 😊😊
I didn’t struggle much with the 4* village elder quests until Tigrex came along😔
Yeah, he's really tough unless you're using Lance IMO
Various things can work in low and high rank, but in G rank, if I'm solo, I'm grabbing my big shield weapon.

While everything is possible solo, multi-player really kinda let's you play how you want, it's much more enjoyable with others.
The train of doom.
😩 😼🚂💨
I have a long way to go. LOL I just started playing this game on ppsspp emulator yesterday, and lately I encountered this in my gathering quest. Luckily, I survived running away. 😂😂
Haha it's a wild start huh? :P
You'll be much better prepared when you fight him for real 🙂
@@HeadHunter455 gonna prepare myself Haha
That's one of the most scary intro in 1* quest 😂
Tigrex: *ANGERY*
hunter: oh shit
😖😖😖
thanks for adding that beggining part in, too many people ive heard mispronounce tigrex as ''tea-grex'' like what? you dont call a tiger a ''tea-ger'' do you?
😉
I'd like to see an sns vid or db vid on this guy pls :^)
I'll give it a go sometime :)
Yes yes.
Thank you for the guide
No problem, I hope it's helpful! :)
Nice vid and nice guide welp time to hunt me some Tiger/dino meat. Welp wish myself luck.
Also: 2:21 well it seems that unlike Garuga the tigrex was ready for that kick (no offense dude)
😉😉😉 lmao no offense, I get hit a lot for comedic effect and stuff like that 😜😜
I mean, I'm definitely not that bad normally.... aha.... for sure, definitely not 😅😅 :P
no one asked but. i just beaten the "land of tremor" key quest. not gonna lie it was very easy I just needed the right strategy using flash bombs. and i also rewatched this for some help too and i finally perfected the art of rolling under it's arms.
😄😄 Nice! It's a tough one for sure, you earned that victory 🙂
I don’t hate the GS, but I’m playing through FU with a friend and he’s playing GS while I’m playing lance. Do you have any example lance hunts?
Not against Tigrex, but I've used Lance against Plesioth and KutKu :/
I guess you could check my gunlance guide? I don't use the gun part of it, and the attacks are different, but maybe similar enough?
Tried to fight this guy with mafu set, still give the chills whenever i think of that. Yikes!
😩😩😩😩😩😩
15.02-the most happy moment to first time hunting tigrex
Its impressive to see you not use alot of flash bombs when he's enraged
I try to not use many items like traps and flash bombs and stuff, so I can give examples for what to do if you run out or don't want to use them.
Definitely feel free to use items like those though.
Hey man can I ask what armor I should use as gunner in this stage of the game? I just defeated blangonga and now at the 4 star quest and was wonder what boss I should grind for armor
auto subbed for nostalgia
😊
I've killed that thing even when I'm in level 3 quest with longsword "fallen" and some bombs at exactly 20 minutes. I failed during first try because I ran out of time to return to camp only realizing that I have to bring farcaster next time
Great job! 😄
Yeah a farcaster is definitely recommended when trying to do that, since they give us such little time >.
Man us veteran hunters truly came a long way from where we were I remember playing mhfu with my cousin when I was 12 years old that was 10 years ago for me
Man.. The other day a Tigrex got me when I was on a gathering quest, I have no choice but to run away because I was pressed by the time.
would a kezu GS work too? also, I use LS is there a guide for that?
Im starting to like mhfu again
It's a pretty good game! 😄
Ikr i cant stop playing it
It was my first ever game😁
I never knew about tigrex using/dealing dragon damage, explained why he dealt alot of damage to me with rath soul armor on
😄 yeah it's kinda weird huh lol
Yes yes.
Oh yeah okk.
Your video is helping me aince the Giadrome and then now i'll face this Tigrex, is it okay to use LS against this monster? Cause u use LS in every guide and then I start using it and kinda mastering it because of you, and now you change to GS, should I learn the GS for this monster or LS just enough?
Hey, glad to hear it! 🙂
Longsword is a great weapon, but I think GS is one of the better matchups for Tigrex.
I have a video of Tigrex vs Longsword, but it didn't go very well:
ua-cam.com/video/ArMzApkPmxU/v-deo.html
Feel free to experiment with things, even if I don't necessarily cover it.
Thanks for watching, I hope you have a good time in the game! 😄
@@HeadHunter455 Thank you I already defeated it w LS, Thank you for your video🙏 Next is GH Tigrex😭😭
The MHFU "Nemesis".
For sure, definitely the first major antagonist 😩😩
At long last, eh, HeadHunter?
😉😅
I defeated tigrex with one cart left barely any healing and like three minutes left
😣😣😣
He's a really tough fight!!
As you get better at the game (and better equipment) I'm sure you can lower that time and get hit less, if you wanted to.
If you're using a weapon other than GS, maybe check out the other Tigrex videos I have, I've covered almost all weapons vs Tigrex by now except Hunting Horn and Lance
I was hunting him last night. I wore a cenataur set because of the sharp sword and sword sharpening skill and the ravager blade because of the +8 defense but since I don't know how to outrun him most of the time, I usually die 2 times before I either abandon the quest or try and last for a while.
The first run was great. Died 2 times but I broke his claws, tail and captured him.
Now I'm aiming to get some parts for a decent tigrex SnS (even tho the affinity sucks).
I didn't do it alone. I'm with my cat so most of the time it's chaotic (I can't go in alone because I don't trust my ass and my cat has the true health flute, good for times when I'm the one getting hunted).
With this, I might try it again but I don't know if I could do what I did way back...
Yeah, it's really tough honestly.
I'd really recommend using Lance, you can do what I do in my G-Rank video if that helps at all:
ua-cam.com/video/Wk8PWuIc3ng/v-deo.html
I can't find another way that is nearly as effective throughout the game. You can head snipe in low and maybe high rank at least, that's pretty fun :)
Good luck!! It's a challenge for sure, but not one that is impossible to overcome 😊
@@HeadHunter455 Thanks for the tips man! I'll probably gonna retry the tigrex each time I have the opportunity. Seems like it's a good training for me to learn decent quick reflexes.
@@thegamingcephalos9412 No problem! 😄
Good luck!
Tigrex is... maybe not at his best in this game lol, but there's ways around it. Hang in there, you got this!! 🙂
Man. There's now a tigrex guide. I have to learn most of of tigrex quirks by being bodied by him. Hahaha. Anyways nice vid.
thanks :)
How do you cut the tail with GS? I'm an LS, SnS, and Hammer user, but I'd admit that GS, HBG, and Lance are becoming my favorites.
I find Tigrex to be one of the hardest monster to hunt, even with LS and SnS which are my two most used weapons. But I do find using GS against Tigrex is actually easier, but I would love to hunt it with Hammer.
Tigrex is a massive pain in the ass, ignore everyone who tries to brag about how easy it is, they're idiots lol
I'd say that GS is the best match up vs Tigrex IMO, but you can make a few things work. I also think Dual Blades worked pretty well too.
To cut the tail with GS you should do what I'm doing in the video but instead of aiming for his head as he turns around, just attack his tail directly. Since his main form of attack is to charge at you, you'll often find yourself behind him, even if it's just an unsheathe attack, hit his tail as much as you can and it'll come off eventually. Good luck! 😄
@@HeadHunter455 Thanks. I managed to cut the tail just hours after I posted this comment. Lmao.
I had to resort to using 3 Shock Traps (2 from combining) in order to properly cut its tail, and then capture it. Now I just need its Skull Shell.
Tigrex in Mario kart be like:
He really do be driftin tho 😩😩😩
I have just started this game on emulator and i am new to this game and your videos are very helpful , can you make a video on weapons and armours , like which weapon to take , which armour to take , advantage, disadvantage
If you follow my guide series I recommend an armor set in each one, it should translate to bowguns as well, as for weapons, there is a very useful guide that I use all the time here, though they don't cover bowguns, only bows:
gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283
I hope you have fun with the game! 🙂
@@HeadHunter455 well do you have an instagram account on which i could communicate with you
If u using savestate, *weaker disgust me*
If they add more time for the popo tongue, with enough preparations I will definitely able kill him, like in 3 portable, I able to kill Zinogre dispute using very basic armor
Yeah I did a challenge thing on stream about that actually, it was a lot of fun, I may revisit it with a different weapon type some time.
ua-cam.com/video/g8f7_Yte7wo/v-deo.html
I dont know if anyone can read this since its been 2 years already but, is the khezu shock sword worth using or the ravager 3 on tigrex?
Both should stagger Tigrex with a level 3 charge to the head, but the Ravager Blade+ will deal around 20 or so more damage per hit.
I remember it took me many tries trying to fight this thing
Everytime a Tigrex quest is up i just go "nope"
But funny enough.... the next game i tried Portable 3rd.... he wasnt as bad as i thought
Yeh lol, it's definitely... a different time in MHFU.
In 4u I got my charge blade, guard points, in World I got the GS tackle lmao
In MHFU I got... a greatsword I guess.
@@AM-rs4yv And i also feel like its less Tanky in P3RD
In MHFU on any rank it feels like forever just to kill 1 single Tigrex
Also, unlike in MHFU where for no reason his attack is Dragon element damage, P3RD is Raw damage
Exception being the Throwing attacks can be Ice and Fire depending the map
Nice vidoes you make on your chanel.
I would love to see you fight Tigrex withe the dual blades.
ua-cam.com/video/CofFagphq0s/v-deo.html It went pretty well.
You should do a video about kushala PS love the content
Yep, that's the next one :)
Thanks!
I love the GS, but newer players should stick to using the Bow against this monster. However, I don't think there are new players of this game😂.
I'm gonna make a short bow video for him, you can join the discord to know when it's uploaded, but there'll be a link in the description when I do.
@@HeadHunter455 Thanks, but I don't have a discord. Either way, I still love your vids. Can't wait for Kushala Daora
Hey, im kinda new
Should I grind the absolute power quest for tigrex materials or the tigrex roar quest
Either one works, they will probably reward the same things, just depends on where you prefer to fight. Definitely an argument to be made for the desert being a good choice, having such large open areas.
You guys have to try playing with bow:its so much fun, never played bow before haha since recenetly, and i've been playing mhfu for 4 years
😉😉😉
i know quite some time passed since you uploaded this video, but could you try with bow?
It's fine, I tried covering this fight with most weapons, I didn't get to all of them but I did cover bow:
ua-cam.com/video/DAKzP5qgRs4/v-deo.html
It's doing a bit of sleep bombing too, but I hope it helps!!

How are you doing my Nemesis , Tigrex ?
Tnx it helps a lot
np, thanks for watching 😄
I dunno man, my Monoblos armor set and eager cleaver are doing nothing good. Not to mention im also fast-forwarding on my ppsspp
Well, I'm not using a LS in this video for a reason.
Great sword on Tigrex is the best
It really is lol
