If you go Crown Hunting or even parts farming and no matter what monster you against, you do this. It saves you a lot of time on those hunts and not a single monster in the game is immune to explosions, it always deals full damage ;)

I'm so glad I'm only missing 6 crowns, it is almost over, so close yet so far but damn I just did an event and 2 targets were giants, both passed measuring test being the biggest I've seen so far and I was super excited, then the result screen showed up and not even a new record on any of them, this despair is too much for a single person to handle.
Question. Aren't crowns tied to specific investigations? As in, if one investigation drops a crown it'll drop that same crown every time?
In theory, if someone here has all the crowns and still kept the investigations that gave em, he or she can take one for the team here
\o/
Note to self start learning multiple weapons. Rerolled to a male char since female armor is that bad. So figured I should try another weapon.
Saw the great sword mentioned here and figure eh I'll try it. Anjanath is my bane and all I was using was dual swords. Took me 2 carts but the fight felt so much easier with a great sword. My aim and timing is still way off though. Watching the Arekkz video really helped. Watched it before even trying the great sword.
Think next I'll try out the long sword then something with a proper shield.

thanks for pushing it up, I share these feelings :)
All RNG. It's a 3% chance (slightly higher at the tempered Jho Event though). There is no other difference between solo and coop except the health (x2,6 in MP)
Thanks for the info. 3 percent! Damn and even then there's different types so you still might not get what you want.
I've definitely had good luck from the Jho quest, but you have to balance the increased chance of a drop with the increased time it takes and likelihood of failure! I've had much more success this weekend as people either get better or start to build for the T. Jho fight, but still a good few failures (and they're never quick failures).
I slayed my share of tempered elders and all I miss is a Hero's: Shaft Streamstone for Bows and Insect Glaives. I guess I am at something like 150-200 Elder kills
Same for me. Maybe you just had better randoms who dealt big damage.
I still play it almost daily (when I have time) but talk less because where... there's not much new going on. I'm mainly do random hunts for fun (getting close to 200h).
Pretty sure you need to adjust the aim as you start to charge, I'm not sure you have control once the animation is locked. I'm a GS noob though so not 100% on that - I think Arrekz went over it in his guide but I need to watch it again to be sure.
I honestly wouldn't bother at this point. If you can already take out Tempered Elders and Jho, then none of the DLC monsters are going to be a problem for you.
Preparing for G-Rank this way is equally pointless, since one's first priority in G-Rank tends to be getting rid of all of their high rank gear. There's a pretty solid chance that the G weapons/armor from Great Jagras and Pukei will outclass anything we can make right now.
Post-platinum, I don't have many reasons to stick around outside of crippling addiction.
I've been cleaning up on hero and warrior streamstones since Temp Jho came back. Certainly seems like the best method if you have a competent party. Sticky Fingers got 2 hero and 3 warrior in a single run over the weekend.
Yep, tempered jho weapon augment droprate is significantly higher than TEDs. Get in while you can, and use lucky vouchers on it. This feels like the only quest where lucky vouchers are actually useful since all the good rewards come from the sections that lucky voucher affects.
Anyone know if you can get Kirin crowns from the current low rank event to kill 2 of them? Seems like way the best method to get them if so, and the sooner I never have to fight him again, the better (not that it's crazy hard, I just find it incredibly tedious).
The only random T Jho I've tried online went down in 15 minutes, super lucky with that one. People were dropping traps when it was out of enrage so I knew right then that it was going to be a good group. Also, I've killed it 2/2 offline and 1/1 online and have always gotten a hero shard. I'm not even sure why that quest is an event, should be a permanent quest cuz drop rates suck otherwise.
Only had one good session with randoms. They were all using Gunlance and knew what they were doing.
I honestly hate seeing Bow users in it. Usually they die like bitches from Jho leaping on them when they're doing their DP.
This is me right now.
After getting the Monster PHD trophy i decided to stop and move onto something else. Next day im back to playing and have probably ogne up another 50 HR levels since.
Decided to both go for the crowns and upgrade my gear some more. Ended up getting the 10 gold crowns trophies for big and small and trying to get some more but its taking forever.
It also took forever to get enough Hammer stones for my diablose shatterer 2. By the time i got my fourth hammer one i had anywhere from 5-11 of every single other stone which i dont need since i have only used hammer in the 250 hours i have played.
Im now at the point where one big bang combo (If every hit lands) does around 1,000-1,200 so im pretty happy with my current results.
Not really got anything else to do since its clear its going to take forever to get the crown trophies and i have the new Digimon and AC to play still but the call of the hunt sings out to me every night :(
I barely DP as a bow user but he's still tricky to avoid. No extra resistance to physical damage from his huge hits doesn't give much room for error.
I gave up and changed to lance for him.
I hope they add him to the tempered quest pool after the spring fest is over. I stopped collecting tempered Jho tracks the other night when I had an epiphany: "these do nothing".
Everyone should just use Lance or Gunlance for Tempered Jho farming. Make our lives easier.
I got T2 Tempered investigations from its tracks. Useless, at least give me elder dragon stuff!
Yes please! If you can time your counters correctly Lance, and run a Health Augment you should be able to stay at full health for most of the fight.
I've been having decent success with Lighting Blitz III LBG vs T. Jho. Mega Armoskin, rocksteady/vitality mantles, and six blue fish at the canteen (defense up and moxie) help with survivability.
Oh man, so not only is the post-game upgrade system withheld until the very end but it's also locked behind RNG on a low drop rate. Is everyone okay with this? :O
Well, thanks for the info. I guess I will see how far I get but I can't really understand why this is set up the way it is. The main campaign kind of conditions one to a regular rhythm of upgrades and new gear then they yank away the treadmill and don't replace it with anything until the very end. Do they expect people to be grinding out that useless Wyverian Ritual for decorations?
Nope, but it's pretty standard for this sort of game. The typical format is:
1. Beat everything with unoptimized gear.
2. Spend ages in the endgame optimizing your build(s).
3. Immediately throw all of that work away when the first piece of equipment you get in the new expansion has better stats than the stuff you spent dozens of hours grinding for.
4. Repeat steps 1 & 2 until the next expansion.
GaaS/MMOs/expansion-based multiplayer RPGs all do this. Each of us has probably experienced this exact cycle numerous times by now. The only escape is to be smart and play something else until the updates arrive.
Another day, another arena with double Odogaron aka the most annoying fight ever. Is there another challenge quest besides this and Nergi that I might be missing that I can do for this daily?
Pretty sure it says HR but I could be misreading.
My success rate has been pretty good so far, maybe 2 out of 3 successful tempered jho hunts. I guess more people have been getting better prepared.
The current one should be any Challenge. I did it last night and completed the daily.
RNG Cannon build? Sure, but it still takes a lot of skill.
Otherwise, I wouldn't do it. T.Jho is all about Lance and Gunlance, few other weapons are viable unless you play immaculately.
Yeah I don't understand why it is the state that it is unless it's an attempt to incentive players to try weapons the normally wouldn't? I also hope that they make the options for augmentation a little more robust in the future. The choices they have are fine but there could be some other things in their to fine tune builds.
Pretty much my experience. I did it the first time with a hammer, but that was only on the fourth try. Still proud I managed it, but never again. (Gun)Lance is so much more manageable.
I wish I could do it faster, though. It still takes me around 30 minutes with the GL and I feel I should be able to do it in half that time. I guess I need to use traps more, but I'm still struggling with getting out of Jho's range to safely sheathe and set the trap.
A single run? I hope he did the lotto afterwards!
I experienced 4 failures initially but randoms seem to be getting better, completed 3 in a row now.
Never tried it, I'm using LBG at the mo. I plan to try the long sword after I complete the Divine Slasher, might give Lance a go after or before, depending on time. What setup do people run with the lance? Max defense?
Don't force yourself to the streamstone grind. It's not that big of a difference if you augment a rare 8 weapon (unless your doing speedruns...). Warrior stones drop far more often and make a difference, augmenting rare 6 stuff makes these weapons nearly on par with rare 8 gear. But other than that it is just a little carrot on a stick to keep on hunting...
Tsujimoto-san hinted to an update in april (I guess the last weekend), maybe they throwing lunastra and/or oroshi kirin at us. I try to get the crowns at the moment, that's even more painful than grinding for streamstones I won't even use (looking at 3 lance hero's stones...)

This is my first MH, but from I understand this is how it has always worked.
I personally don't care a lot for the whole min-maxing endgame. I keep playing this game because of the monsters, the weapons and the overall atmosphere. Getting progressively better gear through augments and decos is just a bonus.
If I were in it for the gear progression and the endless loop of gathering epic loot, I'd much rather play Diablo III, which does it a lot better in my opinion.
I run
Garon Dhara II w/ affinity and health augment
Attack charm III
Guild Cross circlet beta
Brigade Mail beta
Kaiser Vambraces Alpha
Kaiser Coil Alpha
Kaiser Greaves Beta
For jewels I run
3 attack, 1 would be fine though
Elementless jewel
2 Vitality jewel
Set gives me masters touch, divine blessing 3, and weakness exploit 3. Most importantly 95% crit on weakspots.
The big problem with Jho, both Tempered and normal, is that the hitbox for his chest weakspot is too exact. His dopey little arms protect it in a really janky way, making it useless to aim for whenever he isn't standing still and allowing you to get into perfect position.
Lance/GL are the only weapons that can deal with this reasonably well, everyone else is stuck trying to hit his head (good luck), legs (useless when in "muscle mode," which is most of the time) or aiming for the chest and praying it'll register favorably.
