Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is an updated and graphically enhanced version of Monster Hunter Tri. Its currently out now for the WiiU and the 3DS. Sadly the WiiU version is the only one with proper online play. Thankfully this can be solved with the file share feature between the two versions.

Whats is Monster Hunter?


Monster Hunter is a game about killing everything around you to turn them into funny hats.

Doesn't Seem so bad right?

Starting from the bottom of the food chain you work your way up, using the new material you gather from every hunt to work your way up.

Eventually you'll be fighting guys like this guy

Or this guy

Or maybe even

Alternatively, let these guy tell you.

Charm Table Fixing

Charm Tables
For some reason when you begin a character in 3U you are locked into a specific charm table that the game pulls the charms you can get from. You've no real choice in what you get unless you use the following method. To have a look at all the charm tables go here, but basically you don't want 11, 12, 15, 16 or 17.

To aim for a specific table make sure your Wii U/3DS is not connected to the internet so it doesn't automatically update. Once you're ready to start a new set your system clock to a few minutes before one of the following times based on which table you want, then set a stopwatch going. Boot up the game and once the stopwatch has counted the remaining time of the table you are looking for press New Game. For instance if you wanted table 1, set your system clock to 00:12:11 and as you press OK start a stopwatch. Boot up the game and once the stopwatch has reached 2m press New Game. You have about a 3 second window for each table so make sure to be precise. Here is a list of the tables and timings with a brief description for each table:

Normal Tables
T1 00:14:11~13 - Contains a nice balance of Blademaster and Gunner charms with high stats/many slots, but lacks good Awakening charms and doesn't excel at any one thing
T2 02:14:39~42 - Feels like an inferior version of T1. Lacks any amazing charms unique to this table, not much to talk about
T3 00:11:28~30 - All-purpose table. Especially rich in good evasion charms, but has the possibility for many skill setups with a Handicraft +4 OOO charm (with Sharpener -3).
T4 00:05:47~49 - Good for Blademasters. Has the most charms suited for Lancers, but also contains a Handicraft +4 OOO charm and is good for other Blademasters as well
T5 00:56:43~45 - Good Evasion Distance and Earplug charms, great for Switch Axe and Heavy Bowgun users. Most of the good charms are Dragon Talismans though, so grinding for them may be a chore
T6 00:42:17~20 - Leaning towards Blademasters. Has both Handicraft +5 OO and Handicraft +4 OOO. Contains great charms for Evasion and Awakening with other useful skills
T7 01:43:58~01 - Most plentiful in Evasion charms. If you want Evasion +2 regardless of your weapon, this table has good unique charms
T8 09:25:48~51 - Above average Evasion and Guard type charms, but slightly lacking in other areas. Its Dragon Talismans tend to be good
T9 07:09:58~01 - Somewhat geared towards Gunners. Has plenty of charms with a gunner skill combined with Attack +10 or Expert +10. Does have excellent charms for Blademasters but its Handicraft charms are the worst of all tables
T10 00:14:43~45 - Extremely good charms that combine Handicraft with another skill, such as Handicraft +5 Free Element +7. Is also plentiful in Edgemaster charms and probably gives the highest possible power with pretty much any Blademaster weapon. It does seem to be somewhat lacking in Good Evasion distance charms
T13 00:07:46~48 - No unique godly charm, but does have a wide variety of good charms in most areas
T14 00:17:02~05 - Slightly geared towards Blademasters. Many great charms such as Sharpness +4 Free Element +7 and Handicraft +4 Expert +10. Rapid Fire +5 Expert +10 is great for Light Gunners as well

Cursed Tables
T11 00:02:43
T12 00:06:41
T15 00:08:09
T16 00:13:22
T17 00:20:03

This has been proven to work but to confirm which table you are on you need to unlock the fishing boats by completing the quest to collect 3x Monster Guts. Send out your boats and once they return go here and enter into the table the exact item and amounts your boats came back with in the order that you see them. You'll get a result that shows which tables have been ruled out and which you may be on. You'll have to do this several times to fully confirm your charm table.

    So is there like a target lock or something?

    Getting kinda tired of missing because I'm pointed in a slightly off direction.

    Also can I draw my weapon without attacking with it?

    I know I can still play all 3 sets of online wuests on 3DS, even without a wii u, but is that viable? Are they all automatically scaled for 4 people or will it scale down some?

    When I played it with another dude Quropeco went down about as fast as normal, so it might be scaled. Either way it seems like it would be manageable

    They weren't kidding when they said this game doesn't tell you shit

    Something's wrong with my character and I'm not sure what? There's a blue mist coming out of me, and a down arrow next to my name

    Thought it might be poison but an antidote herb did nothing

    Please help I am lost with this game

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    so, downloaded the demo figuring it might give me an idea of what i might be in for if i grab this. oh man, the combat is weird.

    do the Z buttons do anything? the right one makes a sound, but that's it.

    Why is block also run?

    why does this lance have a gun in it? what the heck is this rapid fire thing the bowgun is supposed to have but i can't figure out?

    however, this game has a neat style, so, maybe once i figure these things out i will give the game a whirl.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    Block is run because you don't run in combat, so they're never used in conjunction

    The right Z button activates "lock-on mode," and then L will let you target, but 1) it only works on bigger monsters and 2) it doesn't really work anyways so just forget the whole idea

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    oooh, alright.

    I;m used to to many games having run be hold dodge. it is weird to have to like, activate combat mode.

  • RinderRinder Registered User regular
    I played the original Monster Hunter for PS2 and enjoyed it a lot. I was looking forward to Monster Hunter Frontier Online but it appears that will never be released here.

  • RadiusRadius Registered User regular
    I guess I should get the WiiU version so I can see how pretty all those pretty monsters are, but I kinda want the 3DS version so I can take it places.

    Got a month to decide, but damn. Choices.

    Yeah you dl an app on the wii u thqt turns it into a router for the 3ds version. Still super dumb they didn't just add online for the 3ds version. Way to think noninsular capcom!

    to be fair, it's capcom.

    they often make good games, but DLC and online stuff isn't their strong suit.
