Introducing: Monster Hunter Generations


This is the newest installment of the series which we were uncertain about a localization of until very recently.

Here's some extra information.


What is Monster Hunter?

Welcome to the game where in the goal is to kill off these guys with some form of pointy or shooty implement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_ZAQ9_QK5s&noredirect=1

Monster Hunter is a series about hunting little things, making weapons and armor from the bits of the little things then eventually using those weapons and armor to hunt bigger things. Repeat until the next game in the series comes out.

That would be pretty nuts, since shura fan has 1 slot and sandman has 2.
    Bomb boost goes up to plus 10 in the second position. In theory, you could get it with sockets, too.

    The monster is limping out of the zone? Let me just set a trap here, on the opposite side of the zone.

    Yes and no. There are a set of monsters that have G-rank caravan quests but you need to beat them in G-rank first to unlock them so it really won't help you get to G-rank.

    Oh is it? I guess if you could get a bomb boost +10 OOO you could just finish out crit eye +3 via gemming since dreadqueen by itself only goes up to +2

    That seems cosmically improbable though, but both sleep snses have at least 1 slot so you might be able to make do even without a perfect bomb boost talisman.

    If people are still running 4U I will totally still play that. It's still loaded on my 3ds and I'll open it occasionally to run something or another since I'm so close to finishing several things.

    So yeah, 4U is good for me too.

    Tested out the Vespoid ex set against kirin (village), which is evade extend and pellet up, with a recoil+1 talisman/gem. Used the hero hbg which had the most pellet shots from my current selection, at 4/5/5. Seems to still be pretty straightforward- dodge kirin, spam pellets.
    Wouldn't partiularly play nice with anyone trying to melee it ue to the pellet spam, though.

    Goddamnit.

    They have exactly the armor I want. It exists in this game: EX Rathian armor: Guard +, Guard Up, and Guts. Get that armor, gem it up a bit to Guard +2, and nothing can touch you. But it needs 5 EX Rathalos tickets, which doesn't come up until damn Guild 7.

    I have to go all the way to the end of the game to get the god armor. Which makes sense, but then how will i enjoy it?

    In positive news, it was easy to get randoms for Tetsucabra, and i got all of the Tetsu parts i needed for Tetsucabra S armor in an hour, so now i just need Rhenoplos, some Might Seeds, and more Hercudromes.

    I used Bone armor for a while. It cancels out.

    My first 3ds xl had a bad B button. My current one the nub is starting to not respond to down unless I dig my thumbnail into it.

    If DHL didn't suck I'd have my replacement mod for that by now.

    The circle pad on my new 3dsxl doesn't seem to properly register 'up' very well. It seems to work fine for a bit after recalibrating but then flakes out.

    So weird, not sure if it's a hardware goof or if mhgen is messing up the calibration.

    I almost forgot that I was still wearing LR armor. I very stupidly crafted a bunch of weapons I didn't need and went on a buying spree during half off at the store before hitting HR, and so I've sort of just been hunting while ignoring my gear waiting for the zeny to pile up. Turns out that HR monsters can knock you over with a sneeze in LR armor.

    So many thanks to @Entaru and @Vyolynce and Entaru's friend for some hunts last night. I finally crafted a random set of HR armor to at least keep me from dying instantly. I still need zeny something fierce, but I have a plan.

    Dear Bherna Guildmaiden,

    I am Kokoto Hunting Royalty, and I wish to be share a business opportunity with you. My father was a very wealthy scute merchant before he was poisoned to death by his very wicked palico Housekeeper, who is even now scheming over my vast riches of scutes. Gore Magala wills it, you will help me. I have a plan to smuggle the scutes away from this wicked palico using wyvern eggs I will trade for. I am honourably seeking your assistance, for which I will gladly enrich you with my vast scutes.

    1. Please to be sending 100,000 zeny, with which I will procure the wyvern eggs for scute smuggling, via palico post to my domicile.
    2. Please provide a supply box to which I can send your scute fortune upon completion.

    Anticipating and to hear from you soon,
    Gore Magala Bless,
    Best Regards,
    Prince Umarth, Kokoto Hunting Royalty

    It's a non-essential part of the package. Guard +2 and Guard Up is the golden combo.

    Seems like Guard +2 only needs +15 too, so it needs no gemming, which is good because the entire armor set has only 1 slot.

    I'm not a completionist like many hunters, for me the top tier of available quests is more or less the end of the game. Fortunately given the drop rates for the EX Rath tickets, it sounds like there's a decent chance of getting 5 of them from one quest. But that's a problem that's still weeks away for me.

    The only thing that usually gets me are monsters that have a annoying stumble over you like Rathian/Rathalos and Kut-Ku. Especially The dragons, *normal hit -> stumble-> Dizzy -> often followed by a fireball to the face along with being poisoned.

    Made it to HR3, skipped all the gathering quests for now, in my experience the guild hall gathering quests are even more tedious solo, pretty sure in 4U I actually timed out on one of the coal gathering missions cos the mining points didn't respawn fast enough.
