general tips to not increase you and your teammates’ blood pressure in monhun rise
there are certain materials that can’t be obtained if you capture so DO NOT CAPTURE IN SOMEBODY ELSE’S HOST IF THE HOST DIDN’T SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR IT i swear to god
on that note go to hunter’s notes and you can see details on how you can obtain certain mats. focus on attacking and breaking the parts that would give you what you want. and break all parts you can after that
watch out for your health and bail to use a potion whenever it’s down by half
in general it’s good to bail to heal or sharpen in a safe location. it’s more important to keep yourself from fainting than to be there for the action i promise
make a brace decoration so you don’t get constantly interrupted when the whole gang is focusing their attacks on a collapsed mon
make use of the items!! traps (WITHOUT the tranq bombs) and flash/sonic bombs are really good to restrict monsters’ movements and give your team an opportune window. a well timed flash bomb when a monster is about to attack will impair it and cancel the attack, and will bring flying wyverns down from the air. don’t use flash bombs on khezus they don’t got eyes
traps don’t work on elder dragons At All stop trying to trap kushala youre making me sad for you
when the monster is asleep attacking it will wake it up. instead of doing that consider making use of that time to put down some barrel bombs, or sharpen your weapons/heal/do whatever when somebody’s placing down bombs. (one person can put down 2 bombs max, so that’s 8 bombs with a full team I Think i’ve never had a full team placing down bombs bc nobody uses bombs and it hurts my heart)
consider bringing craft ingredients for flash bombs or coatings or anything you might use into quests. you can register a crafting resippy to radial menu
sometimes wirefall (ZR + B) will fly you right into another attack. usually it’s good to wait for a bit and observe if it’s safe to wirefall away. or just stay down as you’re invicible during the get up animation
aside from the dodgeroll every weapon has a block or invicible frame (iframe) skill, and you’re gonna benefit a lot from learning the timing for them, even if only to skip the monster roar flinch animation
take the time to collect spiribirds and you’re gonna be chugging potion way less often. it’s also gonna really benefit weapons that use stamina like bow or glaive
drink demondrugs and armorskins for harder hunts. Please. they last a long time
palicos can fetch extra drops and also provide buffs and big heals so they’re something to consider if you can go without the mobility palamutes provide
once a hunt is done and you’re about to return to town, if you wirebug up and press A to suspend in midair when there’s around 5 seconds left on the timer, the little B-roll animation will be skipped. this also applies to things like jumping off of walls, as long as you’re in midair by the time the timer runs out
please press on the right stick to set yourself as ready in rampage quests so the whole room doesn’t have to wait a full 60 seconds doing nothing
you can choose where your cohoot lands on by standing at the right place and pressing ZR (the landing spot will be marked with a red arrow). you can do this to send your bird to bully my wife, utsushi. this has nothing to do with gameplay i just want you to know that you can use cohoots to bully my wife, utsushi.
add more if you want i mainly just want to hammer in people’s skulls that you shouldn’t capture on other people’s hosts and that you can bully my wife, utsushi
