Sorry for some misinformation here, capture and kill loot tables are slightly different. Kill loot tables in high rank include gems, which are rare drops needed for certain items. They do also come from breaking parts of a monster and as potential investigation rewards.
Thanks for clarifying this. Was about to throw a "wo wo wo wo wo..." at you. Good catch with this pinned message. Too many are trying to cap Legiana and that gem is a punk to find.
The mistake is understandable. In past games, plates and gems sometimes couldn't be carved and the monster had to be captured. We're also still all learning since this MH game had a global release instead of us getting it a year or two after Japan.
Haha literally was gonna say only kill if you need a gem. I know they can come from breaking other parts as well, but that extra chance at carve always outweighs the extra loot for capturing imo. Everyone should always look in the monster book!
Things i wishes that i knew, hunters notes? Your best friend. Dung pods? Essential on high tier content. Eating before a quest? No reason to not do and a lot of reasons to DO IT! Weapons? Not all weapons work well with every monster, for example, fighting a diablos or tall monster with my favourite great-sword is not easy as they are either to fast or out of reach. Always keep a steady supply of mega barrel bombs, herbs, honey, potions and mega potions with the auto craft enabled for them. Never drink potions, save them to make mega potions. Before going on a hunt, check what the monsters are weak to and what damage that they deal, as well as what your armour protects you the most from and what damage that it makes worse (it makes ALL the difference when fighting... lets say a kirin as it can make the difference between a 1 shot from 200 health and a survivable amount of damage) Use environmental traps and damage effects to get easy large amounts of damage, and keep in mind which monsters turf war with each other for more damage. Check the elementals on your weapons and see if the target monsters are immune to them, if they are then you’re losing out on a lot of damage and making it harder for yourself. If you’re finding it hard to survive in melee ranges then switch to a bow or light bow gun until you’re comfortable that you can predict what the monster will do in what situations, then go back to melee if you’d like. Some monsters have special conditions like (will do so and so when situations X happen) An example is when the hunters notes say a certain type of slinger ammo can break a monsters secondary armour (mainly mud armour or snow armour). Telling a monsters health isn’t easy, so if it runs away from you, let it and you should sharpen your weapons and restore your health, and restock potions if necessary, if it tuns back to its nest and sleeps, plant bombs on breakable areas (mainly the head) and wake it it with the most powerful single hit attack you or your teammates have (mainly if not ALWAYS greatsword). Don’t forget to keep your palicos armour and weapon up to date so that it can be a better ally to have on hunts. Remember! If the area you’re fighting the monster in is cramped then run to a wider space and lure it there. Monsters that focus on area control will have a much easier time killing you in tight and enclosed spaces, and try to keep them away from entrances/exits lest they lock you in/out of the fight. Lastly, learn the move set of the monsters you hunt, be cautious and when you’re certain that you know how they move you can strap on your armour that you know is resistant to their attacks, slot some jewels that prevents their de-buffs and let blunt weapon users go for the heads, sharp weapons for the tails and be mindful that you don’t stagger your teammates (I’m looking at you longsword mains 👀) Thats all the sagely wisdom that i can offer thats never going to be read on a year old video, enjoy my non existent readers and happy hunting!
An 8th tip: There is NO pausing in MH, whether single player or MP. So be sure you take care of what you need to BEFORE going on any hunt (Bathroom break, eats, phone calls, etc) or after one.
Also, tip for people stuck on Anjanath, when it gets fire in it's nose, shoot it with a watermoss. It'll help with that. Watermoss can also be used to clean Barroth's and Jyura's mud off.
"... A certain monster that will kick your ass if you're not ready for it..." Me: Ah, yes, he must be referring to Nergigante. "Anjanath." Me: Wait, what?
I found CB to be pretty simple to learn. It's got some great complexity hidden under the hood that isn't immediately apparent. I just learned how to charge my shield and sword yesterday, with 50 hours into the game. It's been a blast playing with CB and I would recommend it to anyone, especially new players. It's one of the top weapons at end game, so best to learn it early.
I never knew how easy captures could be until my brother showed me his method. When monster is asleep throw TRANQ BOMBS FIRST before placing the trap! Monster does not wake up until you place trap and it is activated. Doing the trap first means you run the risk of you being too slow to scroll through your full item list for the tranq bombs or accidentally using the wrong item in your frantic rush and being too slow... or other monsters big or small knocking you down... and in all these cases your trap expires, monster is now free, and you wasted your trap! Throwing 2 tranq bombs first means for some time after, even if it wakes up cause another monster hit it, the monster you want to catch will be caught instantly if it falls into the trap. Honestly after all the failed capture quests of the past and wasted expensive traps, it made me realize how much of a moron I was for doing traps first ever! Sometimes simple tips make all the difference.
I am done with the story and still didn't know this I still play the game if you want to know btw but I have the tranq bombs placed in that menu to get items quick so I haven't failed in a long time
That works assuming you didn't take too long to follow the monster and set up your plan. If they rest enough to no longer be tired, you done goofed. I'm surprised people are struggling with capturing in world as they made it a joke. Stun traps are nearly instant to deploy, last an age and have an activate radius the size of the screen. You no longer have to hit the monster with tranq bombs, instead can just splash it around in their general vicinity... Radial menu that lets you instantly activate items.. xD you kids got it easy
My biggest tips as a Veteran MH: Practice, Be Patient, Learn from your mistakes, Predict the monsters pattern. Also Wedge beetles can be Grappled onto in this one.
Out of curiosity, did you (Jud and Gerry) start by trying it out in the tutorial section, did you pay attention to the tutorial you were given when you were using it in a hunt, or did you ignore all tutorial stuff, never practiced with it, didn't know it could turn into a bigger sword, and were confused at why you were bouncing off the enemies after a few hits? I ask because I had a friend who said he was told to start with the charge blade because it was the "coolest" weapon, and promptly never learned how to use it. It's cool, and feels amazing to land those heavy smacks on a monster, but you have to have some time to wrap your head around it. I had a hard time trying to verbally coach my absolutely brand new friend who only plays an hour of MH once every couple of weeks in how to use the CB while in a mission and fighting a Barroth and/or a Juryatodos.
@@Thalanox I'm a new player and i started with the charged blade. Tell your friend to learn the basics in the training zone and then go and fight something like the little jagras. He will then get an idea as to how the blade works. Hit the enemy in the normal sword mode to charge it up then switch to axe mode to discharge the elemental charge.
Damnn I feel bad now. Can't find anyone in the comment mentioning Gun Blade. Started with a hammer but I need a shield because that Anjanath keeps jumping on me. 5 hours into the game now.
If you press triangle from your stash it'll refill all your consumables in your pouch assuming you have stacks of said items. don't need to restock individually. :)
In addition, press options/start (w/e it's called for your console) to manage loadouts. Set up a basic loadout for when you want to capture and one to kill. I usually use 3 different loadouts. Elder dragons, basic hunting, and minimalist for gathering/track farming. Each of these will also have a different shortcut wheel setup. So make sure to edit that as well.
I have saved loadouts for basic hunts, difficult hunts (so adding might pills, etc), hunts in the elder stream, etc. Also, I don't max out lesser consumables. Things like herbal medicine and potions I'll take half stacks, and autocraft the rest in mission. That way, I'm generally coming back with more than I left with, and I don't have to manage stock levels as much.
Watching this video made me realize the monster health bar is actually really small in the bottom left of the screen. My silly ass thought it was only to say who you're targetting and didnt notice the "heart monitor" style health bar. 50 hours in and the game still manages to make me feel like a noob... and I understood that b52 reference so yeah, that says a lot. That silly bomber loves to interupt.
That’s just how bad the game is at communicating with the player what its supposed to mean. This game is very unclear about so many things (locations, objectives, affinity???), it’s frustrating, and yep, I read the tutorial tips whenever they pop up.
what bar? lol am i blind? This is like the 10th video i watch about MH and i can't find the enemies' health bar yet! Where is it? I looked at the bottom left but there is just the circle map radar
Some side notes: Any weapon works and has its unique perks. While I recommend newer players use starter weapons, I HIGHLY suggest you pick up a weapon you can get the hang of and enjoy. Its one things to use a weapon thats easy and its a whole nother when you use one you love. 2: Know your monster. It can be very valuable in a fight to know where its weakpoints are, where its breakable, whats severable (tail), its elemental weaknesses and status effects. This will not only make some fights easier I.E. rathian, but it can also be a good way to collect materials without having to kill it completely if you cant beat it. Kind of like a way of getting out, using what you managed to get, upgrade, and get back out. 3: Fire is almost useless late game. Sure its neat damage and some weapons look cool, but because you'll be running into so many monsters that are immune to fire its best to go a bettter route. 4: Teamates can either help or worsen your hunt. I'm not gonna go into detail you can figure that out. 5. Dont be afraid to bail on a fight if your low on RSS. Your on a map thats thrilling with herbs, honey, mushrooms, bugs, and other things that will help. 6. Environmental awareness. You get better at this over time. This could be from knowing where vitality plants are for healing to where I can drop boulders on yhos rathalos' head. 7. People love it when you mount. Its a good source of damage as the monster is wide open to attacks. 8. Palico. Rely on that adorable cat He has saved my life more times then I can count. 9. If you can cause a turf war that will wound the monster your hunting... DO IT. This happens more often anyways in high rank with B52s and pickles running around. 10. If yiur a dark souls veteran you probably have experience with this. Trest every fight with patience and learning. Wait for opening. Monsters do have their own stamina counter, them being exhausted slows them down and creates bigger opening between attacks.
Goblin Gimp destiny is lore heavy? I honestly felt like that has one of the weakest stories in modern AAA titles... I haven't played MH yet though so i cant really compare either
Lore does not equal story. Destiny's campaigns have always featured mediocre stories at best, but stuff like the Book of Sorrows and Dredgen Yor's story have added a lot of lore and flavor to the Destiny world. I can't speak to Monster Hunter lore, as World is the first game I've ever played and I barely understand how damage is calculated. XD
QU67 i understand that but as a long time RPG player i still believe Destiny to be very light on lore even compared to recent titles like Horizon. I haven't played MHW yet though and his comment might still stand if the series is even lighter on lore which seems unusual to me with an rpg series with so many entries
Nope. Armors already fully upgraded. Im not new to monster hunter so with that armor i was able to solo every low rank monster without much difficulty.
I have a tip: Watch a video guide on a weapon you're interested in. I watched a 20 minute guide (which goes by quicker than you'd think) about the Light Bowgun and it was incredibly helpful because I wasn't sure why I was hitting 1's and why my reticle kept changing. Now I know, and now I waste less ammo. Lots of other things like that.
@@Pompadourius Eh. Kinda. Its like Monster Hunter World is like after you fallen it offers you hand to get up. While Dark souls breaks you knees so that you cant get up. I mean as in Dark souls breaks your spirit to continue.
Use the radial menu, use it god dammit, a lot just running around like crazy cause they are trying to select a mega potion from the mess of their item pouch. It's a new feature for the console, and it's an absolute life saver. Take some time to get use to it, customized it so u know when and which to use it.
@@hittman1412 you can do either depending on which type of radial menu you select from the options. Type one activates on release, type two activates on click.
DATTO for the inventory segment you can create "item loadouts" meaning you can click 2 buttons to automatically remove,order, and add items that you specify. Go to manage pouch(?) in your storage box then click start and click Y or triangle to copy whatever is in your pouch to the loadout. I might be slightly off on the exact buttons to get there but its something like that. You can also rearrange your "item bar" that you cycle through to use items by clicking start going to your item pouch and clicking Y/triangle
Great video. Just reached 1200 hours of MHW and Iceborne. Had a good time playing it during pandemic. Some little more advanced tips I wish I could've learned: 1. Never sell all the monster materials from the start. I especially regret doing this. Cause you may need them later to craft weapons and armors. Or you may end up hunting the similar monster again and again. Especially the gems which are usually hard to get. Of course you can sell them later. You can sell them a few, like around 5-10 if you're running out of Zeni. I would keep mining and sell those ores since you can keep grinding them later during expedition. 2. Save armor spheres for later. I regret using them all from the start. Use them for high rank armors. 3. Study the monster's weakness. You can go talk to Chief Ecologist and click Monster Field Guide. It tells you what each specific monster is weak against. Then you can craft the weapon for that specific monster to give enough elemental damage to counter it. Like Diablos for example, it's heavily weak against ice. So you may need an ice weapon to give more damage. 4. For radial menu, click Options, change Radial Menu Settings and Item Control Settings to Type 2, then go to Customize Radial Menu, then you can change the setup whichever you like. However this is something I missed. I forgot to save the item load out. Go to the item box and save the load out by clicking option then register for load out. This way you won't end up losing the saved version during the fight. 5. Some items can be handy. Bring Astera Jerky (heals red/yellow portion), Nulberry and Health Boost. If you get annoyed by Lunastra for example. You can save the item load out and rename "Lunastra." 6. Prioritize crafting your armors. Get many jewels for set decorations as much as possible. I would highly recommend to do bunch of tempered investigations. These fights can be hard, but if you fire an sos the teammates are usually really good, so this might be probably the easiest way for grinding them. For example Vaal Hazak can be annoying sometimes so what you do is basically having maxed out Effluvia Resistance. You can get it by crafting an armor that has this effect or to find the jewel like Miasma Jewel and add it to your armor. Also maxing out Blight Resistance can be handy when you're dealing with monsters that give you elemental damage. 7. Another way to do is to create the charm and upgrade it to max. This way you don't have to get stressful when you don't have enough slots for upgrades. 8. Tailraider Safari and Argosy port. This way you can grind some materials every time you go out to hunt and come back. 9. Botanical Research Center. I would normally like to drink a regular demondrug, armorskin and immunizer every time I go out for a hunt. In order to drink these, you may need some specific materials like Might Seed, Adamant Seed, Bitterbug and Honey. Ivy and Spiderweb for Pitfall Traps. Thunderbug for Pitfall Traps. Sleep Herb and Parashroom for Tranq Bombs. Mega Nutrients and Mandragora for Max Potions. Godbug and Blue Mushroom for Lifepowders. This is where cultivating gets handy. You can also click Fertilize and expand amount of cultivating or speeding it up. 10. Always bring Max Potions whenever you go out and fight. Have Mandragora and Mega Nutrients into your item slot, that way you can drink up to 5 Max Potions. You can also bring Mega Potions for backup. I once tried to solo Nergigante but at first I died very quick by its super dive while trying to drink a mega potion. Another way to do is speed eating, but you may need a jewel like Gobbler Jewel. 11. Use voucher or gourmet voucher to get the skills like Felyne Safeguard or Insurance. This way you get less chance to fail the quest. For eating, I highly recommend to eat Veggie Platter for Elemental Resistance, especially when you get annoyed by monsters like Deviljho, Teostra or Kirin. 12. This is pretty minor, but try to farm points to get palico armors and layered armors. If you want to look good in front of people. I would just normally keep hunting elder dragons like Nergigante and get Dragon Treasures. Or get Wyvern Tears from large monsters. Another way to do is to do a Beryl farming at Elder's Recess. 13. Familiarize your weapon, try out different weapons and get used to the rhythm of battling. I was slowly getting better by keep dying and got help from bunch of my teammates. Not much to say :)
@@united1990 Yeah, defender set is there so you can speed your way to Ice Borne. If you're new to monster Hunter in general, I don't recommend using it because you won't really get the full experience with it on.
@@bobbaseball i literally tried the lance for the first time, not knowing any combos and what to do and just killed Anjanath first try because I was taking no damage what so ever
Huge emphasis on using your armour spheres. They used to be hard to come by in older games but they hand them out like candy from a shady van parked near a school in Monster Hunter World.
I didn't see these in your inventory, so I don't think you know, but the power/armor charm, stacks with the power/armor talon, and you'll want to keep all 4 in your inventory. Also, press option when in the chest and you can save a "load out" for your item pouch with triangle, you can select this load out again to automatically restock any items you've used up and stores anything that's not in your load out automatically, it's just a quick and easy way to store and restock everything. And also, as a side note, when you get to the higher ranks, capturing isn't what you always want to do because some rewards are more commonly obtained by carving, it doesn't really make a huge difference in the big picture, but some people may get pissed if you just assume what they want.
Thanks for the loadout tip. Seriously. I have a regular set that I try to keeps stocked and its a pain when I miss something. This will save me so much hassle lol.
Protip for those who don’t know: later in the game you can get powercharms and armorcharms. But 2 of each and upgrade 1 of each. Then equip all 4, the bonuses stack. For those who are skeptical, take your weapon into training and try it for yourself! With smaller numbers it won’t show, so it may not matter for a dual blade user, but it gave me buffs on some of my harder hits with my hammer. And yes, I didn’t just run 2 tests to see this. I ran 3, a control with no buffs, a test with the powertalon and a final test with the powertalon and powercharm. Not much difference, but there is a difference.
Spewky me too i raged so much when i got to anja almost quit for good lol. I was using charged blade from the beginning but after anja i started to build a good bow and glaive for options depending on the monster
@@InnerFire6213 yeah I maines insevt glaive until I got to the point I am now. Hands down best team weapon with healing/buffing options as well as easy mounts and weakness exploitation
You were mentioning in the previous video about what we'd like to see if you were to make more Monster Hunter videos. Now that I don't have to play Fashion Hunter anymore with the addition of skins, I'd be really interested in hearing about any insane or useful armor skill builds you come across!
Full armour sets are attractive but mismatched armour in high rank and above tells you that person knows their shit and likely has a very specific, solid strategy going into a fight.
Tip for quickly offloading stuff from your inventory: on your item box, press "Options" on PS4 (or the equivalent on xbone) to manage your loadouts and register the set of items that you want to use as a loadout. Now every time you go on your inbox, press "Options" again and choose the loadout, this will automatically transfer items you gathered to your box and replenish the stuff you have equipped. It's basically like taking a snapshot of your inventory.
You'll gather as you hunt. Focusing on picking every mushroom you see is gonna waste time especially when you have to chase the monster around the map and realize your inventory is full from all the early side gathering you've been doing
"Start simple" is solid advice, especially on new players. As someone whose played other titles my bigtime advice though is when starting out, play with the weapons. Best thing you can do is try them all to see what suits you! What's simple for one person won't for another. I was a newbie who picked the hunting horn cause it was neat and I enjoyed how it moved and the idea of buffs and that's one of the trickier weapons to master, now it's my go-to main. This game is a whole lot easier to get started on some of the tricky weapons too so don't feel intimidated to try things out!
lol Yeah ever since I got into MH3U and every subsequent game, I've dropped hundreds of hours into these games. There's like no middle ground when it comes to MH. You're either not into it, or it's your entire life. Especially because story has never been the focus of these games, so how you "finish" the game is up to you.
Just think in MHFU the Congalala used to fart and throw poop at you and gave you a stink debuff. If they bring him back in to MHW you can get revenge by throwing poop at him lol
Here's another small tip, the ring around your min-map is an indicator. The ring is non visible at the start of the hunt, before you've seen the monster. It flashes red when in combat with a monster, and turns white when you leave combat, be that either evading the monster and running, or the monster is running and leaving the area. When hiding from a monster while in combat the ring goes purple, and then white once you lose the monster. Additionally, watching the ring is very useful when mounting. When the big the red ring gets bigger, the monster is about to thrash, and you should either move or grip.
I started with the charge blade and insect glaive and had no problem using either, in fact I found it easier to use them than some of the other weapons that are more new player friendly
Oddly enough, the Charge Blade is actually pretty easy to use. My issue is I sometimes forget I can build up charges in sword/shield mode for extra damage.
As a longtime MH player I have some disagreements about the armor: 1) Skill are THE go-to when choosing armor, you pick one with the skills that suit your playstyle the best. 2) Defense is pretty much secondary, as long as it's appropriate for the rank it's good enough, and elementals can be ignored altogether since you aim not to get hit anyway, especially at G/Master rank where a monster can take a good chunk of your health even with the best defense and elemental res
Now THIS is a good beginners guide video that doesnt cover the blatant obvious and actually gives helpful tips about things that arent really covered by the game....like the health line i had no idea. Good video!
Also datto please buy the armor and damage charms the point of crafting them with b52 talons is so you can have twice the effect by buying them again and effectively having two armor and defense charms
mtw31993 switch axes bread and butter combo is in sword mode where i think its triangle and circle repeating until the gage runs out. Then you combo into the axe mode and press cirlce for an infinite combo at the cost of your stamina.
I've been almost exclusively a LS main for the past few games but SA is so much fun in World I've played practically the entire game with it. I just love shoving my giant sword in a monster's face and unloading
I played Monster Hunter Generations on the DS last year for quite a while, but stopped because I didn't have enough time to devote to the game. I'm starting Monster Hunter World tomorrow for the PC and am so excited, but watching these videos reminds me how deep this game is, and holy shit I'm intimidated, but excited. For anyone who wants to team up, dm me!
I honestly believe bows and guns weapons are amongst the easiest weapons in the games yet also the ones that require a bit of more work. You can use these weapons along with status effects and special effect bullets and arrows to change the flow of the fight making things more interesting and fun. I recomend people do some research on these weapons since these are the ones that would make you feel like a true hunter.
I started with sword and shield and so far I'm doing great, i move freely, i heal and sprint at same time, it's so easy for me to climb on top of monsters stab them so fast and it's so easy to upgrade, it takes time for example it takes from 5-8 minutes to kill a barroth, kinda long but it's less risky, and u won't be making lotta wrong moves u can dodge anytime and run anytime. So yeah i highly recommend sword and shield. And this is coming from someone who plays a lot f souls games so i know how hard it gets when u can't move freely and when u hit too slow. Just use it and you'll be slaying monsters like a true monster hunter and almost never get hit.
Thank you so much, I got this game bundled with my new GPU and while I was having some fun figuring out the tricks with weapons and upgrading etc, I would've completely avoided bounties had it not been for this, thanks!
I'm soooo addicted to this game. Played on PS4 qnf crushed it. Now on Xbox 1 with the new Iceborne. I have Red Dead as well which also a great game but i'm so hooked on this. Sooooo much to do, and redo. Never ending. Love it. Great vid. I learned some new things. Back to the hunt
Use "Manage Loadouts" from your Manage Items menu instead of manually restocking every Item, that way you can offload everything that you collected from the previous mission and you probably don't need.
I recently watched another video that completely blew my mind. It said that all three slinger pods that drop from monsters drop at 30%, 20%, and 10% monster health, and you can capture at 25% so if you wait for the second slinger drop then you can always capture it
Unless the monster you're hunting is leaving the locale soon, I'd pass on the fast traveling. If you're going somewhere, there should be/will be a lot of farming items to do on the way.
kinda late to the party, so not sure how many people will see this, but I just wanna add 3 things that I think are vital to streamlining certain aspects of the game: 1: Item Loadouts. in your item box, press "Options" (for PS, not sure what the controls for Xbone are) to acces the item loadout menu. This allows you to create a sort of save file of what items you are currently holding. so for example you want to be able to quickly empty your inventory and restock on your consumables. using the item loadout will set your inventory to look exactly as the item loadout is set, granted you have enough items to restock in your box 2: Deliveries. pretty straightforward sometimes instead of people asking you to do a quest, they ask for a delivery. to complete them, talk to the people who give bounties and investigations and go to deliveries. these are how you unlock new base camps, upgrades to the canteen, and other useful items. 3: I had a third thing in mind, but I cant remember after typing the rest of the comment...
I started out with the charge blade and yeah its a complicated beast. Makes you feel awesome when you figure it out but definitely a handful. Coming from Rise it also handles differently in World.
For some dumb reason i picked up the charge blade when starting for the first time. Not very used to games with this style of combat but, I still put in the effort of mastering the combat before anything else. Now barely into the game but I play like a pro. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
You sound like you leant the hard way, by the way you can use the tent at camp to manage items and craft stuff change gear really no need to return except to collect reward and upgrading
Pro tip use the Manage Load outs screen. Just hit start when you're in the item box. Create a few different item load outs for various conditions. Then you can quickly fill your item pouch with everything you need without micro managing it every time. Same with your armor. Make load outs for the monster you intend to fight. This becomes crucial in the end game. Love being able to quickly change my armor and items to fit the fight I'm going into. This is more difficult with great hunts but nothing is ever perfect.
As a veteran, I would consider this a pretty good set of tips :) I would rank making item presets higher than simply restocking though. Also, anjanath can be a big wall, so don’t get too frustrated, just do your best and train some more when it comes up. As a note, you CAN kill Tobi-kadachi prior to anjanath, who has a slight weakness to thunder, in addition to the better stats of the Tobi weapons than most beginner stuff. Though for all you try hards (myself included), it is entirely possible to kill anjanath when you first encounter him in the great jagras quest, even in the starting armor and weapons! Sadly, there is no seriously interesting stuff that happens if you take him out there
Haha B-52 does cause problems with it's appearance but in general I love having other monsters show up because it almost always results in a double team on my hunting target.
one more tips (for beginners), you can throw the Tranq Bombs first before you set up the trap (if the monster is sleeping), because sometimes or some monsters can escape the trap quicker before you can throw the 2nd bomb so you will need to waste another trap, in that case, throw the 2 bombs first before you wake them up with a trap under their bellies.
If you set up an item loadout(option button ps4) it will reload/unload your current inventory. It also handles your hotkeys so be wary if you change those to update your item loadout to include those changes as well. Also if you can use a bowgun you can buy tranq ammo if you don't want to use/carry tranqs on you
This is all base Level Monster hunter Stuff and this Video does a great job of explaining the things that should become Second Nature to you. I always Love to see new people Getting into the Monster hunter franchise
It started out really fun, cool visuals and a decent story.. But the constant need to upgrade and always be on the move, took away from any casual gameplay you might have expected. I figured I'd be challenged with puzzling creature battles.. yet discovered that this wasn't the case, or if it was then it took longer than I cared to play, for it to happen. This was like playing a clearer version of "black desert". Wasn't for me, but I can see where its a clear choice for people who are into the mechanics of these titles.
I ALWAYS have given up on slow paced combat games like this with super long battles that need strategic like precision. Such as Demons/Dark games, Final Fantasy XV and Monster Hunter when I was a kid but this is the first MH game I'm playing as an adult and plan on getting into it and having some fun.
Both. I goof around with friends (hitting them with barrel bombs mid combo or something like that) and just overal teamhunting is fun, but the game itself is also a lot of fun while playing alone
I'm enjoying both. I'll have an hour break between class or work sometime it's nice to jump in and either grind a bit for armor I need or go hunt the next monster in my list
I find monster interruptions something of a boon during hunts. Territory bouts between monsters give me a chance to heal, cure ailments and sharpen my weapon. At the same time my target monster is taking damage from whatever it's squabbling with.
I have been going back and forth about playing this game but after seeing what it has to offer in this vid I realized I have to at least try it, thank you for showing me da wey
Although I do not have the time spent in the game as needed for this statement, I think the capture>kill is a bit wrong. For those that don't know, Capturing a monster will give more loot but it will be harder to break all the parts of the monster (or pick up tails if you forgot to pick them up) Which doesn't seem like much of a problem until you need that part Killing a monster allows you to break off more parts and more time to carve and collect stuff with the downside of that other phase which may cause everything to crash and burn My general tip is kill the monster if you need a specific part, as you are more likely to grab that part from carving that from a reward, and if you are in the arena (the arena is the one place I say capturing should be out right banned and i have personal reasons for it). Capture the monster if it is going to leave soon, you need a lot of material, or don't want to go into that last stage (or if you forgot traps)
Tip for capturing: If the monster is sleeping, pop 2 tranqs on its head then place the trap, it will instantly capture. If not, then throw a third immediately
as i played monster hunter generations on the DS i troued out a different weapon. the charge blade. i legit got monster hunter world to use the charge blade... and i dont use anything else unless the fight calls for it. love that weapon.
I treat this game like dark souls. I dont look at my gear’s stats at all. It just has to look good. And so far the game is pretty easy. Anjanath barely hit me once. Really enjoying the game.
Monster Hunter veteran (10+ years) Whetfish scales sharpen fasten then the whetstone, you don't need the Speed Sharpening skill. Always check if the monster parts you need are drops, rewards or crave only. Cultivate Might Berries for when/if you get low om crash. (they sell for 60 each) Sell trade in items, they're there to be sold. Always make a custom meal, you won't get the daily skills if you don't have fresh ingredients. If you're having trouble with a monster, slow down you're gameplay, you may be over committing.
Experienced player here with 2 good weapon tips that helped me through MH: freedom unite. Good for beginners: Hammer, Gunlance (if you are considering yourself a little experienced), All bowguns, Switch axe (again if you have little experience) and of course the long sword is my most recommended since it is so easy you are an expert just wielding it. Bad for beginners: Great sword, Lance, Hunting horn, Dual blades are pretty easy to use but hard to learn your monsters' attack sequences and behaviors and the bow is also pretty easy but very low damage and will be hard to fend off many monsters without experience with it and/or party members. Bonus: try EVERY weapon in the training area and try to create your own combos and play style with each weapon.
Use full tip, before crafting a weapon find out what end weapon you want example fire, ice dual blade and nergigantes x weapon. Then use that path while clearing content, and use mixes off armor. Like to have +life rune and 4x attack when doing early content if posible
Sorry for some misinformation here, capture and kill loot tables are slightly different. Kill loot tables in high rank include gems, which are rare drops needed for certain items. They do also come from breaking parts of a monster and as potential investigation rewards.
Datto I was going to say something but we are all still learning :)
Thanks for clarifying this. Was about to throw a "wo wo wo wo wo..." at you. Good catch with this pinned message. Too many are trying to cap Legiana and that gem is a punk to find.
The mistake is understandable. In past games, plates and gems sometimes couldn't be carved and the monster had to be captured. We're also still all learning since this MH game had a global release instead of us getting it a year or two after Japan.
Haha literally was gonna say only kill if you need a gem. I know they can come from breaking other parts as well, but that extra chance at carve always outweighs the extra loot for capturing imo. Everyone should always look in the monster book!
nice catch! glad to see you moving from destiny 2 to mhw, helping out newbies ;)
Things i wishes that i knew, hunters notes? Your best friend. Dung pods? Essential on high tier content. Eating before a quest? No reason to not do and a lot of reasons to DO IT! Weapons? Not all weapons work well with every monster, for example, fighting a diablos or tall monster with my favourite great-sword is not easy as they are either to fast or out of reach. Always keep a steady supply of mega barrel bombs, herbs, honey, potions and mega potions with the auto craft enabled for them.
Never drink potions, save them to make mega potions. Before going on a hunt, check what the monsters are weak to and what damage that they deal, as well as what your armour protects you the most from and what damage that it makes worse (it makes ALL the difference when fighting... lets say a kirin as it can make the difference between a 1 shot from 200 health and a survivable amount of damage)
Use environmental traps and damage effects to get easy large amounts of damage, and keep in mind which monsters turf war with each other for more damage. Check the elementals on your weapons and see if the target monsters are immune to them, if they are then you’re losing out on a lot of damage and making it harder for yourself.
If you’re finding it hard to survive in melee ranges then switch to a bow or light bow gun until you’re comfortable that you can predict what the monster will do in what situations, then go back to melee if you’d like. Some monsters have special conditions like (will do so and so when situations X happen)
An example is when the hunters notes say a certain type of slinger ammo can break a monsters secondary armour (mainly mud armour or snow armour).
Telling a monsters health isn’t easy, so if it runs away from you, let it and you should sharpen your weapons and restore your health, and restock potions if necessary, if it tuns back to its nest and sleeps, plant bombs on breakable areas (mainly the head) and wake it it with the most powerful single hit attack you or your teammates have (mainly if not ALWAYS greatsword).
Don’t forget to keep your palicos armour and weapon up to date so that it can be a better ally to have on hunts. Remember! If the area you’re fighting the monster in is cramped then run to a wider space and lure it there. Monsters that focus on area control will have a much easier time killing you in tight and enclosed spaces, and try to keep them away from entrances/exits lest they lock you in/out of the fight.
Lastly, learn the move set of the monsters you hunt, be cautious and when you’re certain that you know how they move you can strap on your armour that you know is resistant to their attacks, slot some jewels that prevents their de-buffs and let blunt weapon users go for the heads, sharp weapons for the tails and be mindful that you don’t stagger your teammates (I’m looking at you longsword mains 👀)
Thats all the sagely wisdom that i can offer thats never going to be read on a year old video, enjoy my non existent readers and happy hunting!
I read it all, thank you bb xoxo
THANKS DUDE
I appreciated the time and info you put into this comment, as a brand-new player I will definitely use this. Thank you 😂
Thanks it's all read. This will make my beginning completely different
2020 and this is probably the second most useful thing I've seen regarding to monster hunter as a new player.
Meanwhile i spent 30 minutes trying to catch a monster in the first catch mission using the capture net. Yep.
big brain
I totally didnt do that before... (Me knowing dang well im lieing)😅
Same 😂
10 hours here until I saw a video about capturing the woodland pteryx.
I've never bothered trying to capture anything yet, but what is the capture net even for if not for capturing monsters?
An 8th tip: There is NO pausing in MH, whether single player or MP. So be sure you take care of what you need to BEFORE going on any hunt (Bathroom break, eats, phone calls, etc) or after one.
Best advice in this comment section, I’m so happy rise has an offline mode that allows you to pause when in a hunt
yh i found this out the hard way
Pauses are for the weak, i remember changing my controller batteries during the first Xeno'jiiva fight, the definition of tension 💀
Yeah, I don't know why they didn't include a pause button for offline since previous games had it.
Got pizza/hotpockets and empty bottles 😂 jk
Also, tip for people stuck on Anjanath, when it gets fire in it's nose, shoot it with a watermoss. It'll help with that. Watermoss can also be used to clean Barroth's and Jyura's mud off.
That is the most helpful shit I've ever read.
Throwing bombs at ajanath is very useful when running away
I wish I knew that when I first fought it, lol
What? WHAT!?
Thanks
"... A certain monster that will kick your ass if you're not ready for it..."
Me: Ah, yes, he must be referring to Nergigante.
"Anjanath."
Me: Wait, what?
Anjanath is the arch enemy of new players who main the insect glaive.
@@SeraphimxSins Dude i'm new and i fucking hate that monster , everytime i fight a big jagras i find this guy

"Start Simple"
Me: **Immediately uses Charge Blade**
Me: I'm really stubborn eh?
Same
I picked the charge blade at the start to, but to be honest I found it more easy then other things like the long sword or the duel blades XD
I found CB to be pretty simple to learn. It's got some great complexity hidden under the hood that isn't immediately apparent. I just learned how to charge my shield and sword yesterday, with 50 hours into the game. It's been a blast playing with CB and I would recommend it to anyone, especially new players. It's one of the top weapons at end game, so best to learn it early.
If you can master it its better then all of the weapons even the lance, combo remembering isn’t as hard as people say with cb.
I use the charge blade or switch axe when I want to kill monsters quickly, I like the switch axe a lot more though.
I never knew how easy captures could be until my brother showed me his method. When monster is asleep throw TRANQ BOMBS FIRST before placing the trap! Monster does not wake up until you place trap and it is activated.
Doing the trap first means you run the risk of you being too slow to scroll through your full item list for the tranq bombs or accidentally using the wrong item in your frantic rush and being too slow... or other monsters big or small knocking you down... and in all these cases your trap expires, monster is now free, and you wasted your trap!
Throwing 2 tranq bombs first means for some time after, even if it wakes up cause another monster hit it, the monster you want to catch will be caught instantly if it falls into the trap. Honestly after all the failed capture quests of the past and wasted expensive traps, it made me realize how much of a moron I was for doing traps first ever! Sometimes simple tips make all the difference.
That works? Neat.
Bro I didnt know this! I have wasted 3 traps on an Anjanath about a week ago :D
I am done with the story and still didn't know this I still play the game if you want to know btw but I have the tranq bombs placed in that menu to get items quick so I haven't failed in a long time
How bout just using the radial menu?
That works assuming you didn't take too long to follow the monster and set up your plan. If they rest enough to no longer be tired, you done goofed.
I'm surprised people are struggling with capturing in world as they made it a joke. Stun traps are nearly instant to deploy, last an age and have an activate radius the size of the screen. You no longer have to hit the monster with tranq bombs, instead can just splash it around in their general vicinity... Radial menu that lets you instantly activate items.. xD you kids got it easy
When I first started playing I wish I knew to pet the poogie before each hunt for good luck.
"Certain monsters cannot be captured (namely Elder Dragons)" oh snap don't let the Commander hear that
My biggest tips as a Veteran MH: Practice, Be Patient, Learn from your mistakes, Predict the monsters pattern. Also Wedge beetles can be Grappled onto in this one.
Christian Gutierrez how? Press what?

Yes finally I taught I had to comment this
came here after 100 hours+ and guess what, i started with the charge blade. I love this weapon so much!
Ive started with normal bow, im not a huge sword and shield fan so im working on a potential melee weapon to use
Switch axe and bow are my favorites
Out of curiosity, did you (Jud and Gerry) start by trying it out in the tutorial section, did you pay attention to the tutorial you were given when you were using it in a hunt, or did you ignore all tutorial stuff, never practiced with it, didn't know it could turn into a bigger sword, and were confused at why you were bouncing off the enemies after a few hits? I ask because I had a friend who said he was told to start with the charge blade because it was the "coolest" weapon, and promptly never learned how to use it. It's cool, and feels amazing to land those heavy smacks on a monster, but you have to have some time to wrap your head around it.
I had a hard time trying to verbally coach my absolutely brand new friend who only plays an hour of MH once every couple of weeks in how to use the CB while in a mission and fighting a Barroth and/or a Juryatodos.
@@Thalanox I'm a new player and i started with the charged blade. Tell your friend to learn the basics in the training zone and then go and fight something like the little jagras. He will then get an idea as to how the blade works. Hit the enemy in the normal sword mode to charge it up then switch to axe mode to discharge the elemental charge.
Damnn I feel bad now. Can't find anyone in the comment mentioning Gun Blade. Started with a hammer but I need a shield because that Anjanath keeps jumping on me. 5 hours into the game now.
If you press triangle from your stash it'll refill all your consumables in your pouch assuming you have stacks of said items. don't need to restock individually. :)
Robert Chew you sir are a saint. Pity that won't help with shock trap restocking though lol.
Press options instead and load a pre created item loadout, will also empty any stuff not needed
Good tip
In addition, press options/start (w/e it's called for your console) to manage loadouts. Set up a basic loadout for when you want to capture and one to kill. I usually use 3 different loadouts. Elder dragons, basic hunting, and minimalist for gathering/track farming. Each of these will also have a different shortcut wheel setup. So make sure to edit that as well.
I have saved loadouts for basic hunts, difficult hunts (so adding might pills, etc), hunts in the elder stream, etc. Also, I don't max out lesser consumables. Things like herbal medicine and potions I'll take half stacks, and autocraft the rest in mission. That way, I'm generally coming back with more than I left with, and I don't have to manage stock levels as much.
I've always wanted to see your content style applied to games outside Destiny. Great stuff.
Also, nice.
Watching this video made me realize the monster health bar is actually really small in the bottom left of the screen. My silly ass thought it was only to say who you're targetting and didnt notice the "heart monitor" style health bar. 50 hours in and the game still manages to make me feel like a noob... and I understood that b52 reference so yeah, that says a lot. That silly bomber loves to interupt.
0__0 oh, it's a Resident Evil style health display.
There's always something new to learn I guess.
Mfw i didnt know that either until after 20 hours
I played 200 hrs and I thought that it was some kind of "aggro" indicator
That’s just how bad the game is at communicating with the player what its supposed to mean. This game is very unclear about so many things (locations, objectives, affinity???), it’s frustrating, and yep, I read the tutorial tips whenever they pop up.
what bar? lol am i blind? This is like the 10th video i watch about MH and i can't find the enemies' health bar yet! Where is it? I looked at the bottom left but there is just the circle map radar
Some side notes:
Any weapon works and has its unique perks. While I recommend newer players use starter weapons, I HIGHLY suggest you pick up a weapon you can get the hang of and enjoy. Its one things to use a weapon thats easy and its a whole nother when you use one you love.
2: Know your monster. It can be very valuable in a fight to know where its weakpoints are, where its breakable, whats severable (tail), its elemental weaknesses and status effects. This will not only make some fights easier I.E. rathian, but it can also be a good way to collect materials without having to kill it completely if you cant beat it. Kind of like a way of getting out, using what you managed to get, upgrade, and get back out.
3: Fire is almost useless late game. Sure its neat damage and some weapons look cool, but because you'll be running into so many monsters that are immune to fire its best to go a bettter route.
4: Teamates can either help or worsen your hunt. I'm not gonna go into detail you can figure that out.
5. Dont be afraid to bail on a fight if your low on RSS. Your on a map thats thrilling with herbs, honey, mushrooms, bugs, and other things that will help.
6. Environmental awareness. You get better at this over time. This could be from knowing where vitality plants are for healing to where I can drop boulders on yhos rathalos' head.
7. People love it when you mount. Its a good source of damage as the monster is wide open to attacks.
8. Palico. Rely on that adorable cat
He has saved my life more times then I can count.
9. If you can cause a turf war that will wound the monster your hunting... DO IT. This happens more often anyways in high rank with B52s and pickles running around.
10. If yiur a dark souls veteran you probably have experience with this. Trest every fight with patience and learning. Wait for opening. Monsters do have their own stamina counter, them being exhausted slows them down and creates bigger opening between attacks.
Fingers crossed that Datto will make more MHW videos...
QU67 I wish he would make videos about warframe. It's a great game in my opinion
CancerInfantry I agree. I don't even play Warframe anymore but I wouldn't mind seeing him play it.
Goblin Gimp destiny is lore heavy? I honestly felt like that has one of the weakest stories in modern AAA titles... I haven't played MH yet though so i cant really compare either
Lore does not equal story. Destiny's campaigns have always featured mediocre stories at best, but stuff like the Book of Sorrows and Dredgen Yor's story have added a lot of lore and flavor to the Destiny world. I can't speak to Monster Hunter lore, as World is the first game I've ever played and I barely understand how damage is calculated. XD
QU67 i understand that but as a long time RPG player i still believe Destiny to be very light on lore even compared to recent titles like Horizon. I haven't played MHW yet though and his comment might still stand if the series is even lighter on lore which seems unusual to me with an rpg series with so many entries
Steps for a new player in late 2019:
1. Download free Guardian Armor.
2. Put on free Guardian Armor.
3. WIN
How do you find that??
Nope. Armors already fully upgraded. Im not new to monster hunter so with that armor i was able to solo every low rank monster without much difficulty.
Richard Jacob you can buy it from the armory
as a newcomer to monster hunter and a recipient of said armor... yes
死の一撃 [deathblow] completely false
I have a tip: Watch a video guide on a weapon you're interested in. I watched a 20 minute guide (which goes by quicker than you'd think) about the Light Bowgun and it was incredibly helpful because I wasn't sure why I was hitting 1's and why my reticle kept changing. Now I know, and now I waste less ammo. Lots of other things like that.
I feel like I just started a game that is going to really piss me off and take half my life away
If you have played dark souls games its not so hard then even for soloing.
@@NigerianPrince0 Tbh I'd say Monster Hunter at its endgame content is more difficult than Souls games.
@@Pompadourius Eh. Kinda. Its like Monster Hunter World is like after you fallen it offers you hand to get up. While Dark souls breaks you knees so that you cant get up. I mean as in Dark souls breaks your spirit to continue.
Use the radial menu, use it god dammit, a lot just running around like crazy cause they are trying to select a mega potion from the mess of their item pouch. It's a new feature for the console, and it's an absolute life saver. Take some time to get use to it, customized it so u know when and which to use it.
i've found it's real fiddly, im not sure whether to hold and release or click in?
@@hittman1412 you can do either depending on which type of radial menu you select from the options. Type one activates on release, type two activates on click.
The radial menu is kinda shit when playing kb and mouse. Wish I could disable it.
I use both the menus, but mainly the bottom right side scrolling one. Once you organize it, it's pretty convenient.
@@hittman1412 You gotta set that I the options. Set it to click. Auto-choose sucks very badly, you'll end up using items you didn't mean to.
DATTO for the inventory segment you can create "item loadouts" meaning you can click 2 buttons to automatically remove,order, and add items that you specify.
Go to manage pouch(?) in your storage box then click start and click Y or triangle to copy whatever is in your pouch to the loadout. I might be slightly off on the exact buttons to get there but its something like that.
You can also rearrange your "item bar" that you cycle through to use items by clicking start going to your item pouch and clicking Y/triangle
Great video. Just reached 1200 hours of MHW and Iceborne. Had a good time playing it during pandemic. Some little more advanced tips I wish I could've learned:
1. Never sell all the monster materials from the start. I especially regret doing this. Cause you may need them later to craft weapons and armors. Or you may end up hunting the similar monster again and again. Especially the gems which are usually hard to get. Of course you can sell them later. You can sell them a few, like around 5-10 if you're running out of Zeni. I would keep mining and sell those ores since you can keep grinding them later during expedition.
2. Save armor spheres for later. I regret using them all from the start. Use them for high rank armors.
3. Study the monster's weakness. You can go talk to Chief Ecologist and click Monster Field Guide. It tells you what each specific monster is weak against. Then you can craft the weapon for that specific monster to give enough elemental damage to counter it. Like Diablos for example, it's heavily weak against ice. So you may need an ice weapon to give more damage.
4. For radial menu, click Options, change Radial Menu Settings and Item Control Settings to Type 2, then go to Customize Radial Menu, then you can change the setup whichever you like. However this is something I missed. I forgot to save the item load out. Go to the item box and save the load out by clicking option then register for load out. This way you won't end up losing the saved version during the fight.
5. Some items can be handy. Bring Astera Jerky (heals red/yellow portion), Nulberry and Health Boost. If you get annoyed by Lunastra for example. You can save the item load out and rename "Lunastra."
6. Prioritize crafting your armors. Get many jewels for set decorations as much as possible. I would highly recommend to do bunch of tempered investigations. These fights can be hard, but if you fire an sos the teammates are usually really good, so this might be probably the easiest way for grinding them. For example Vaal Hazak can be annoying sometimes so what you do is basically having maxed out Effluvia Resistance. You can get it by crafting an armor that has this effect or to find the jewel like Miasma Jewel and add it to your armor. Also maxing out Blight Resistance can be handy when you're dealing with monsters that give you elemental damage.
7. Another way to do is to create the charm and upgrade it to max. This way you don't have to get stressful when you don't have enough slots for upgrades.
8. Tailraider Safari and Argosy port. This way you can grind some materials every time you go out to hunt and come back.
9. Botanical Research Center. I would normally like to drink a regular demondrug, armorskin and immunizer every time I go out for a hunt. In order to drink these, you may need some specific materials like Might Seed, Adamant Seed, Bitterbug and Honey. Ivy and Spiderweb for Pitfall Traps. Thunderbug for Pitfall Traps. Sleep Herb and Parashroom for Tranq Bombs. Mega Nutrients and Mandragora for Max Potions. Godbug and Blue Mushroom for Lifepowders. This is where cultivating gets handy. You can also click Fertilize and expand amount of cultivating or speeding it up.
10. Always bring Max Potions whenever you go out and fight. Have Mandragora and Mega Nutrients into your item slot, that way you can drink up to 5 Max Potions. You can also bring Mega Potions for backup. I once tried to solo Nergigante but at first I died very quick by its super dive while trying to drink a mega potion. Another way to do is speed eating, but you may need a jewel like Gobbler Jewel.
11. Use voucher or gourmet voucher to get the skills like Felyne Safeguard or Insurance. This way you get less chance to fail the quest. For eating, I highly recommend to eat Veggie Platter for Elemental Resistance, especially when you get annoyed by monsters like Deviljho, Teostra or Kirin.
12. This is pretty minor, but try to farm points to get palico armors and layered armors. If you want to look good in front of people. I would just normally keep hunting elder dragons like Nergigante and get Dragon Treasures. Or get Wyvern Tears from large monsters. Another way to do is to do a Beryl farming at Elder's Recess.
13. Familiarize your weapon, try out different weapons and get used to the rhythm of battling. I was slowly getting better by keep dying and got help from bunch of my teammates. Not much to say :)

@@hervelabrie-durand4574 i dont remember this comment lol
"You don't have to dive headfirst into harder weapons like the charge blade" me in the corner starting off with the lvl 1 charge blade
Huge emphasis on using your armour spheres. They used to be hard to come by in older games but they hand them out like candy from a shady van parked near a school in Monster Hunter World.
I didn't see these in your inventory, so I don't think you know, but the power/armor charm, stacks with the power/armor talon, and you'll want to keep all 4 in your inventory. Also, press option when in the chest and you can save a "load out" for your item pouch with triangle, you can select this load out again to automatically restock any items you've used up and stores anything that's not in your load out automatically, it's just a quick and easy way to store and restock everything.
And also, as a side note, when you get to the higher ranks, capturing isn't what you always want to do because some rewards are more commonly obtained by carving, it doesn't really make a huge difference in the big picture, but some people may get pissed if you just assume what they want.
Oh hey, that's pretty helpful, thanks.
Thanks !
Good to know vets are still as charitable as ever! ;^D
Thanks for the loadout tip. Seriously. I have a regular set that I try to keeps stocked and its a pain when I miss something. This will save me so much hassle lol.
I'm very new to the game and I always find myself full in inventory, this will be super helpful. Thanks!
Protip for those who don’t know: later in the game you can get powercharms and armorcharms. But 2 of each and upgrade 1 of each. Then equip all 4, the bonuses stack. For those who are skeptical, take your weapon into training and try it for yourself! With smaller numbers it won’t show, so it may not matter for a dual blade user, but it gave me buffs on some of my harder hits with my hammer. And yes, I didn’t just run 2 tests to see this. I ran 3, a control with no buffs, a test with the powertalon and a final test with the powertalon and powercharm. Not much difference, but there is a difference.
Omg im so happy the Anjanath was a wall
I thought I was terrible at the game and just repeated optional quests to get the best armor
Spewky me too i raged so much when i got to anja almost quit for good lol. I was using charged blade from the beginning but after anja i started to build a good bow and glaive for options depending on the monster

Mmmmmmmmng why did people find anja hard? I easily beat anja without the free defender armor when I started over
You were mentioning in the previous video about what we'd like to see if you were to make more Monster Hunter videos. Now that I don't have to play Fashion Hunter anymore with the addition of skins, I'd be really interested in hearing about any insane or useful armor skill builds you come across!
Rosie the Marauder But but... looking like an abomination is a universal sign in MH series that you mean business and are an expert.
Hahahaha! So true. Assuming you need that extra crutch at all to perform well
Full armour sets are attractive but mismatched armour in high rank and above tells you that person knows their shit and likely has a very specific, solid strategy going into a fight.
He can also discuss thing like how to use the map to your advantage because the environment is also vital in a hunt.
If you need/want affinity strategist glasses with Odogaran armour is good.
Tip for quickly offloading stuff from your inventory: on your item box, press "Options" on PS4 (or the equivalent on xbone) to manage your loadouts and register the set of items that you want to use as a loadout. Now every time you go on your inbox, press "Options" again and choose the loadout, this will automatically transfer items you gathered to your box and replenish the stuff you have equipped. It's basically like taking a snapshot of your inventory.
I know this is a 10 month old comment but THANKS BRUH, THANKS. You've made my life so much easier with this tip!
Watching videos like this are the only way I'm getting by with my Monster Hunter fix until the PC version is released
If you have a 3DS I'd go back to Generations, 4U or for a different twist on the series try out Stories
Enjoy the 8-9 month wait.
Seriously dude.
damn that's a long time
I'm just gonna play Sea of Theives until then
Main objective on every mission is gathering. Hunting the monster is secondary.
No?
I wanna play *monster hunter* world, not picking flowers world
You'll gather as you hunt. Focusing on picking every mushroom you see is gonna waste time especially when you have to chase the monster around the map and realize your inventory is full from all the early side gathering you've been doing
@@hesoyam881 If your somewhat good and you dont do G rank. you kill monster solo in 10-20 Minutes, with a time frame of usually 50 Minutes.
"Start simple" is solid advice, especially on new players. As someone whose played other titles my bigtime advice though is when starting out, play with the weapons. Best thing you can do is try them all to see what suits you! What's simple for one person won't for another. I was a newbie who picked the hunting horn cause it was neat and I enjoyed how it moved and the idea of buffs and that's one of the trickier weapons to master, now it's my go-to main. This game is a whole lot easier to get started on some of the tricky weapons too so don't feel intimidated to try things out!
I wish I knew what I was getting into when I first started playing. Now it's an addiction.
lol Yeah ever since I got into MH3U and every subsequent game, I've dropped hundreds of hours into these games. There's like no middle ground when it comes to MH. You're either not into it, or it's your entire life. Especially because story has never been the focus of these games, so how you "finish" the game is up to you.
😂😂lol, it happens in monster hunter.
ALWAYS BE SAVING
(flashback to a lot of gaming UA-camrs' first time with Sonic '06)
OH BABY!! I wasnt getting this game until I heard I can fling poop at stuff.......... Wal-Mart here I come
SuperDan mist monster hunter games allow you to throw shit lol
Mmmm yum
An old favorite pastime in MH games is to throw poop in a knocked out monsters mouth. hehe
Eat doodoo!
Just think in MHFU the Congalala used to fart and throw poop at you and gave you a stink debuff. If they bring him back in to MHW you can get revenge by throwing poop at him lol
DisturbedKoala haha oh man that made me laugh too hard. Thanks for the image man
Here's another small tip, the ring around your min-map is an indicator. The ring is non visible at the start of the hunt, before you've seen the monster. It flashes red when in combat with a monster, and turns white when you leave combat, be that either evading the monster and running, or the monster is running and leaving the area. When hiding from a monster while in combat the ring goes purple, and then white once you lose the monster. Additionally, watching the ring is very useful when mounting. When the big the red ring gets bigger, the monster is about to thrash, and you should either move or grip.
I started with the charge blade and insect glaive and had no problem using either, in fact I found it easier to use them than some of the other weapons that are more new player friendly
Oddly enough, the Charge Blade is actually pretty easy to use. My issue is I sometimes forget I can build up charges in sword/shield mode for extra damage.
Remember you must always accept weakness

"This becomes especially handy later in the game when dealing with the B-52. If you don't know what the B-52 is..." damn :) :) :) :) :)
As a longtime MH player I have some disagreements about the armor:
1) Skill are THE go-to when choosing armor, you pick one with the skills that suit your playstyle the best.
2) Defense is pretty much secondary, as long as it's appropriate for the rank it's good enough, and elementals can be ignored altogether since you aim not to get hit anyway, especially at G/Master rank where a monster can take a good chunk of your health even with the best defense and elemental res
Now THIS is a good beginners guide video that doesnt cover the blatant obvious and actually gives helpful tips about things that arent really covered by the game....like the health line i had no idea. Good video!
Also datto please buy the armor and damage charms the point of crafting them with b52 talons is so you can have twice the effect by buying them again and effectively having two armor and defense charms
Dimensional Dot The b52 reference holy shit I was just talking to my friend about that 😂😂😂
That piece of shit and its capet bombing tactics are so annoying sometimes.
Button mashing is not the answer? Switch Axe wild swing begs to differ.
mtw31993 switch axes bread and butter combo is in sword mode where i think its triangle and circle repeating until the gage runs out. Then you combo into the axe mode and press cirlce for an infinite combo at the cost of your stamina.
Dual blades?
I've been almost exclusively a LS main for the past few games but SA is so much fun in World I've played practically the entire game with it. I just love shoving my giant sword in a monster's face and unloading

I played Monster Hunter Generations on the DS last year for quite a while, but stopped because I didn't have enough time to devote to the game. I'm starting Monster Hunter World tomorrow for the PC and am so excited, but watching these videos reminds me how deep this game is, and holy shit I'm intimidated, but excited. For anyone who wants to team up, dm me!
I honestly believe bows and guns weapons are amongst the easiest weapons in the games yet also the ones that require a bit of more work. You can use these weapons along with status effects and special effect bullets and arrows to change the flow of the fight making things more interesting and fun. I recomend people do some research on these weapons since these are the ones that would make you feel like a true hunter.
Da MambaBajamba they are hard to solo with once you are in high rank, btw there damage and ammo capacity is getting nerfed next patch
BrendenVc _ bow is the easiest to solo with my dude
hey datto, I think a lot of people (including myself) would like to see some live gameplay, maybe with friends or even alone
I started with sword and shield and so far I'm doing great, i move freely, i heal and sprint at same time, it's so easy for me to climb on top of monsters stab them so fast and it's so easy to upgrade, it takes time for example it takes from 5-8 minutes to kill a barroth, kinda long but it's less risky, and u won't be making lotta wrong moves u can dodge anytime and run anytime. So yeah i highly recommend sword and shield. And this is coming from someone who plays a lot f souls games so i know how hard it gets when u can't move freely and when u hit too slow. Just use it and you'll be slaying monsters like a true monster hunter and almost never get hit.
Thank you so much, I got this game bundled with my new GPU and while I was having some fun figuring out the tricks with weapons and upgrading etc, I would've completely avoided bounties had it not been for this, thanks!
I'm soooo addicted to this game. Played on PS4 qnf crushed it. Now on Xbox 1 with the new Iceborne. I have Red Dead as well which also a great game but i'm so hooked on this. Sooooo much to do, and redo. Never ending. Love it. Great vid. I learned some new things. Back to the hunt
THANK YOU! Finally ! Short, sweet and to the point
Use "Manage Loadouts" from your Manage Items menu instead of manually restocking every Item, that way you can offload everything that you collected from the previous mission and you probably don't need.
I recently watched another video that completely blew my mind. It said that all three slinger pods that drop from monsters drop at 30%, 20%, and 10% monster health, and you can capture at 25% so if you wait for the second slinger drop then you can always capture it
DattoDoesMonsterHunter.
But for real, I'm enjoying your Monster Hunter content!
😂
Unless the monster you're hunting is leaving the locale soon, I'd pass on the fast traveling. If you're going somewhere, there should be/will be a lot of farming items to do on the way.
this has to be the best "tips i wish i knew before i started" vid ive ever watched
kinda late to the party, so not sure how many people will see this, but I just wanna add 3 things that I think are vital to streamlining certain aspects of the game:
1: Item Loadouts. in your item box, press "Options" (for PS, not sure what the controls for Xbone are) to acces the item loadout menu. This allows you to create a sort of save file of what items you are currently holding. so for example you want to be able to quickly empty your inventory and restock on your consumables. using the item loadout will set your inventory to look exactly as the item loadout is set, granted you have enough items to restock in your box
2: Deliveries. pretty straightforward sometimes instead of people asking you to do a quest, they ask for a delivery. to complete them, talk to the people who give bounties and investigations and go to deliveries. these are how you unlock new base camps, upgrades to the canteen, and other useful items.
3: I had a third thing in mind, but I cant remember after typing the rest of the comment...
true hunters accept newcomer monsters with joy, and ptsd. But yes joy.
Start playing MH to take a break from Destiny, still find a Datto guide. Love it!
im doing the same thing lol, destiny is more like bounty grinder 24/7 now
Lol same
Also jusf found out he did mhw lul
I started out with the charge blade and yeah its a complicated beast.
Makes you feel awesome when you figure it out but definitely a handful.
Coming from Rise it also handles differently in World.
For some dumb reason i picked up the charge blade when starting for the first time. Not very used to games with this style of combat but, I still put in the effort of mastering the combat before anything else. Now barely into the game but I play like a pro. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
You sound like you leant the hard way, by the way you can use the tent at camp to manage items and craft stuff change gear really no need to return except to collect reward and upgrading
I actually realised that a few days ago. And im in rank 8 lol
Pro tip use the Manage Load outs screen. Just hit start when you're in the item box. Create a few different item load outs for various conditions. Then you can quickly fill your item pouch with everything you need without micro managing it every time. Same with your armor. Make load outs for the monster you intend to fight. This becomes crucial in the end game. Love being able to quickly change my armor and items to fit the fight I'm going into. This is more difficult with great hunts but nothing is ever perfect.
Glad I looked at this. Was trying super hard to stick with the Charge Blade lol. Switched off for the Bow until I get a little better.
As a veteran, I would consider this a pretty good set of tips :) I would rank making item presets higher than simply restocking though.
Also, anjanath can be a big wall, so don’t get too frustrated, just do your best and train some more when it comes up. As a note, you CAN kill Tobi-kadachi prior to anjanath, who has a slight weakness to thunder, in addition to the better stats of the Tobi weapons than most beginner stuff.
Though for all you try hards (myself included), it is entirely possible to kill anjanath when you first encounter him in the great jagras quest, even in the starting armor and weapons! Sadly, there is no seriously interesting stuff that happens if you take him out there
Haha B-52 does cause problems with it's appearance but in general I love having other monsters show up because it almost always results in a double team on my hunting target.
You can also hold a trap tool along with the material needed for your preferred trap so you can make it on the fly
Capturing is not always better than killing. If youre going for gems/plates its usually better to carve since certain items are only carve rewards.
Gems and plates arent carve only
one more tips (for beginners), you can throw the Tranq Bombs first before you set up the trap (if the monster is sleeping), because sometimes or some monsters can escape the trap quicker before you can throw the 2nd bomb so you will need to waste another trap, in that case, throw the 2 bombs first before you wake them up with a trap under their bellies.
If you set up an item loadout(option button ps4) it will reload/unload your current inventory. It also handles your hotkeys so be wary if you change those to update your item loadout to include those changes as well.
Also if you can use a bowgun you can buy tranq ammo if you don't want to use/carry tranqs on you
B52 hit me like...DAMN
B52 can go fuck off
What about that grapple? 0:11? I want to know more about that
If you get knocked off during a mount, you can press square, x or circle (for consoles) and you'll be able to grapple back and mount again
This is all base Level Monster hunter Stuff and this Video does a great job of explaining the things that should become Second Nature to you. I always Love to see new people Getting into the Monster hunter franchise
Hopped on this game after being done with destiny which just wasn't fun anymore. Me and my clan are having a blast playing this game.
Yes more Monster Hunter
One of the best guides so far. Short and objective. Congratulations
It started out really fun, cool visuals and a decent story..
But the constant need to upgrade and always be on the move, took away from any casual gameplay you might have expected.
I figured I'd be challenged with puzzling creature battles.. yet discovered that this wasn't the case, or if it was then it took longer than I cared to play, for it to happen.
This was like playing a clearer version of "black desert".
Wasn't for me, but I can see where its a clear choice for people who are into the mechanics of these titles.
Most importantly upgrade your ingredients
I'll just make a point to upgrade everything. Even my upgrades.
“Dont use charged blade yet”
>me who thought it looked cool now im stuck with it
I ALWAYS have given up on slow paced combat games like this with super long battles that need strategic like precision. Such as Demons/Dark games, Final Fantasy XV and Monster Hunter when I was a kid but this is the first MH game I'm playing as an adult and plan on getting into it and having some fun.
Honestly I can’t tell if I enjoy the game or the time with my friends
Anthony Burton i’m enjoying both honesty, it the same feeling if not more when i was playing taken king with my friends
Both. I goof around with friends (hitting them with barrel bombs mid combo or something like that) and just overal teamhunting is fun, but the game itself is also a lot of fun while playing alone
I'm enjoying both. I'll have an hour break between class or work sometime it's nice to jump in and either grind a bit for armor I need or go hunt the next monster in my list
"The B52" LMFAO
I find monster interruptions something of a boon during hunts. Territory bouts between monsters give me a chance to heal, cure ailments and sharpen my weapon. At the same time my target monster is taking damage from whatever it's squabbling with.
Holy shit. Dung pods. I knew they had a use, but I need them badly. Short hunt times have screwed me
You don't know the struggle we've been through from previous monster hunter series boy
The Plesioth hip check if doom? 😂
yeah..even pickaxe can broken..hahaha
I have been going back and forth about playing this game but after seeing what it has to offer in this vid I realized I have to at least try it, thank you for showing me da wey
I’m a first time MH player and this video helped a ton! Thanks mate!
You forgot one. Break everything!
Although I do not have the time spent in the game as needed for this statement, I think the capture>kill is a bit wrong. For those that don't know,
Capturing a monster will give more loot but it will be harder to break all the parts of the monster (or pick up tails if you forgot to pick them up) Which doesn't seem like much of a problem until you need that part
Killing a monster allows you to break off more parts and more time to carve and collect stuff with the downside of that other phase which may cause everything to crash and burn
My general tip is kill the monster if you need a specific part, as you are more likely to grab that part from carving that from a reward, and if you are in the arena (the arena is the one place I say capturing should be out right banned and i have personal reasons for it). Capture the monster if it is going to leave soon, you need a lot of material, or don't want to go into that last stage (or if you forgot traps)
Tip for capturing:
If the monster is sleeping, pop 2 tranqs on its head then place the trap, it will instantly capture. If not, then throw a third immediately
as i played monster hunter generations on the DS i troued out a different weapon. the charge blade. i legit got monster hunter world to use the charge blade... and i dont use anything else unless the fight calls for it. love that weapon.
Got the ajanath my first time didn't even have that good of gear but I have played monster hunter before so that might be why it was easier
Jared Reinstein Right! Anjanath's move set is very predictable.
Jared Reinstein well this is my first MH i really dig into and having played dark souls before definitely comes in handy 😁
Freshminster dark souls definitely did it for me.
I treat this game like dark souls.
I dont look at my gear’s stats at all. It just has to look good.
And so far the game is pretty easy. Anjanath barely hit me once. Really enjoying the game.
Monster Hunter veteran (10+ years)
Whetfish scales sharpen fasten then the whetstone, you don't need the Speed Sharpening skill.
Always check if the monster parts you need are drops, rewards or crave only.
Cultivate Might Berries for when/if you get low om crash. (they sell for 60 each)
Sell trade in items, they're there to be sold.
Always make a custom meal, you won't get the daily skills if you don't have fresh ingredients.
If you're having trouble with a monster, slow down you're gameplay, you may be over committing.
Lol the B-52. It's funny because we were calling it a plane too.
Experienced player here with 2 good weapon tips that helped me through MH: freedom unite.
Good for beginners: Hammer, Gunlance (if you are considering yourself a little experienced), All bowguns, Switch axe (again if you have little experience) and of course the long sword is my most recommended since it is so easy you are an expert just wielding it.
Bad for beginners: Great sword, Lance, Hunting horn, Dual blades are pretty easy to use but hard to learn your monsters' attack sequences and behaviors and the bow is also pretty easy but very low damage and will be hard to fend off many monsters without experience with it and/or party members.
Bonus: try EVERY weapon in the training area and try to create your own combos and play style with each weapon.
The capture and the poop part whas the only fings i didn't now, so thx.
BOOOOB z
You're a boob :(

Use full tip, before crafting a weapon find out what end weapon you want example fire, ice dual blade and nergigantes x weapon. Then use that path while clearing content, and use mixes off armor. Like to have +life rune and 4x attack when doing early content if posible
