I know how that feels. I watched a viper tobi I was hunting stop to poo and that weirdly humanized it to the point that I wanted to stop, I'm such a baby lol

Just made it to the guiding lands, and none of the monsters loaded in for the Zinogre cutscene, has this happened to any one else? I'm on a base PS4, kinda bummed I couldn't get a cool introduction.
that's very strange yeah. I did that cutscene yesterday before I got the SSD and I'm on a normal PS4 but it looked fine.
Poor LR Jyuratodus. Red slinger ammo dropped on the first golfswing combo I landed, which should give you an idea of how quick that fight was over.
But hey, I really needed that Barioth CB. I was only semi-competent with CBs on the best of days and that was a year ago. So I don't think it will see too much action. That sword, though. So cool...

By how much? I read the math shouldn't have made that much of a difference.
Then again, the loads on my One X where less than half of my base PS4 and that isn't even SSD.
Regarding an End Game boss, massive spoilers.
I'm starting to think every video of people breaking the head a second time for Shara have it doctored. I run part breaker and focus solely on the head. I have entire teams of people focusing on just the head. We broke the head the first time incredibly early in a run and we still couldn't break it a second time. I'm ready to give up.
I just fought a 37 min Bazel hunt with two other hunters where he turf war with jho over three fucking times because that asshole wouldn't leave us alone, and even Brachy wanted a piece of the action
So how do you avoid Shara's spirit bomb? It just one shot me even though I was away.
I think I'll just farcaster out to be sure.

the 2pc velkana and 2pc namielle first comes to my mind when thinking about my set. that's why my initial question is, how is the calculation for the damage of elemental bow. Thank you very much for this! i dont mind if i dont get the max dps. besides, if i can kill the monster fast, i will not be able to see their other moves. that's why i want to build a set with balanced damage and survivability.
Yeah I think I'm going with this lol
I finished Shara for the first time last night, probably 5 attempts. I got realllllllly sweaty on the last one, to the point where I Farcaster'd about 7 times.
Unless you're speed running, just flash da fuck outta there.
Another try, 38 minutes, died to an earthquake that just obliterated my health bar while I was wearing the rocksteady mantle.
What a fucking drag.
What a fucking drag.
Stay far away and in solid ground , once you get it , it's probably the easiest move to dodge.
Shieet! haha

Question: How do I get the third Boaboa ticket? I've, the second was from hunting a monster on an expedition with Boaboa's assisting. I don't see a bounty or quest for a third Boaboa (to craft Palico's gear). Do I have to go on another expedition and see if something happens?
Finally fought Glavenus. Awesome intro cutscene, the battle itself was OK. I do like the focus on the tail.
Now to farm it. The armor is too busy for my tastes, but it has a couple of cool weapons.

Nice how Astera is actually empty of all food and shit, although it doesn't make much sense when all that is going on is a couple of frozen monsters. I mean, if entire zones would be be inaccessible until you took care of Velkhana, like the Ancient Forest, I could understand the shortage. Now it's just kind of silly.
But in the end he does nothing like everyone else.
I would avoid using Rocksteady against the boss, unless you're gemming Protection onto it and even then I think I'd prefer Vitality/Temporal. Instead of getting knocked down and going into an immune downed state, you'll just eat 2-3 hits consecutively and cart. Also you are avoiding walking on the quicksand I'm assuming?
Is there a typically recommended HR or recommended stats, etc. for starting the Iceborne content?
A friend and I kicked it off last night, and got through the first couple of expeditions, but had a pretty rough time of it.
I'd only just finished the main MHW story and am still rocking Anjanath armour, but my buddy was kitted out with full end game gear and still struggling.
Sorry if this is known info. We've been huge MH fans since Freedom, but like to go into each iteration on our own, without much outside help. Perhaps due to that we were a bit naive, and surprised by the difficulty spike, particularly how long the first compulsory expeditions took to finish.

I see your triple cart, and raise you running out of time on a full 50 minute hunt, where the closing seconds are you watching helplessly as the monster flies off half-way across the map (usually to sleep or eat).
Everytime I got them in MP we crashed him to the walls a lot. Dunno if that helped, but people seemed to knew what they were doing.
just stand on the edge of the arena, it's 100% safe there
edit: i've never broken it's head twice to get the extra carve, but my theory is that you gotta wall slam it into the hazard trap
i've seen the trap icon on the map even after the rock shells phase and we're fighting the real thing
Now if there were only useful tips for getting the quest to show up...
Me and my friends managed to do it last night.
And everybody got 2 tenderplate from the piece that fell (it's a small one so it's easy to miss) so if you managed to get it to break it seems it's a guaranteed carve from that.
I'm not sure whether the other guys use Partbreaker or not but I'm using full Partbreaker with bow, and my buddies were using LBG, Longsword, and Hunting Horn. As soon as someone wounded the head (it's a requirement), we focus everything there. We also managed to score one or two flinch shots and have him hit the wall... not sure if that counts, but he hits the wall with his head so I guess it does? hahaha.

Are you using the environmental traps? The only time I failed to break the head twice was when i used two environmental traps before the transformation into second phase. From my understanding if you do that you deal too much damage and don't have the time to break the head. Just skip using the environmental traps or at most use one and you should be able to do it.
Put on the aqua deco that allows you to tread water/sand and as soon as he does his little sand borrow run to him and stand directly behind him against the wall, you won't take damage
Do it solo. Breaking parts is infinetely easier when you are solo. Even with the 2-player HP nerf the flinch and break thresholds seem to be close or the same as in 4P hunts.
I'm surprised there are those who just don't run to the edges to avoid his Spirit Bomb, seems obvious that's the way to go.
If the session Id is still valid (I cannot check, I'm at work) ask for the Guild Card of any of the current squad members. You'll also get a Squad Card that you can use to request squad membership even without being online at the same time as the leader or the subleader.
Completely agree. That and the allocation of deco slots (at least where I'm at. rank 10 and first rank 11 armors, maybe armors get tons of slots later). I want to fit my lvl 1 and 2 decos inside the gear, but instead of adding smaller slots they just dump 1 lvl 4 slot on the armor. And when I place my lvl 1 vitality jewel in the lvl 4 slot I feel I made a suboptimal choice. Maybe it gets better when I get more lvl 4 jewels.
Also, set bonuses seem pretty great all around. I want to move an from my 3 pcs Nargacuga set to a more attack/crit oriented set, but that true sharpness is just so awesome.
It feels like MH team wants to push people away from the vanilla meta hard and force people out of their comfort zone (which isn't a bad thing). but it is noticable.
Anyway, right now I'm farming for a Rathalos mantle, which takes forever, to get a set going w Rath helm (2 attack), chest (2 weakness exploit), Shrieking Legiana waist (2 Evade extender), Glavenus legs (2 Handicraft). Not sure about hands, yet, but I want to bring Vitality 3 (maybe w/ charm) into the set somehow while also filling up the existing armor skills to higher ranks. (WE and EE to 3, attack to 4)
There ara Vitality + something level 4 decos. The question is if that something is useful to you or not.
Yeah I already got one with Vitality + something else, but that obviously was so uninteresting to me that I can't even remember what it is ;)
Some of these combinations also seem to push for more skill variety.
Wish we could add our own description on our loadout setting. So when I want to choose my loadout, i know what i have to prepare with that loudout
This is especially true for bows -___________________________-
It feels like melee players can optimize their build quite easily while bows.... can't as easily do that....
