    GameFAQs didn't help with this one, though the Monster Hunter Wiki came in handy: I need 1 or 2 Giant Bones for a Blango belt. I see that Ceanataurs drop them. Let's say I just did the first Urgent Quest to kill the Giadrome. I assume I can find Ceanataurs in the Jungle area? Will I run into Ceanataurs soon, or should I just go for another type of armor for now?

    Also: Damn Giadrome needs to drop his Hide like 3 times so's I can make all my stuff. Asshole.

    I'm seeing lots of reports that PSP Slim users are unable to connect using the Wifi Max. Any of you guys using a Slim?

    I am, and I'd rather not blow $40 if I won't be able to connect.

    I would like to know who's saying that, because I use a slim, and I use wifi max. I have no real issues to report.

    A lot of the users on the official Capcom forums.

    Also. I assume there's a difference between the Wifi Max for the DS and for the PSP.

    They cannot be setting it up right. I literally did nothing other than the normal instructions, and BAM, worked fine for me.

    Yeah, being aware of your range will determine whether you win or lose; you don't ever want to be in range where he can hip check you. Although with the tail swipe you can run between his legs, the check, if you're too close...you're just fucked.

    oh man, for anyone who needs monster fluid, make sure to get tanya's boat at the pokkefarm as soon as possible and send him to the jungle with the highest amount of pokkepoints you can. I've gotta about 10 monster fluid from him so far. I've also got sinister cloth a few times. o_o

    I think the big boss cenatuars/hermitaurs drop them. Not the piddly 2-hit dudes

    edit: also get the pig and do the little love minigame, then do a quest. You more rare stuff methinks. One time I got 27 machalites from a map. Works on Hides/claws/everything for the rewards page, too I think.

    Minigame? You mean when you "talk" to the piggy and press X when ! appears over your head? I've done that a lot, and I'm getting better at getting piggy to jump in the air and make a big heart appear.

    Fuck yeeah. Killed the Kushala Daora in four rounds using the Master's Sword Replica and a +20 Wind Press set featuring the Diablos helmet and gloves, the Black Diablos chest, Chrome Metal Tasset and Leggings, and a healthy amount of Wind Press jewels. Downside is that I have slightly bad drop luck, which explains my lack of ELDER DRAGON BLOOD.

    Without the fact that Kusha can toss you around and hurt you with every gust of his wind, he's actually a bit of a chump. I would have used other weapons but I needed something with two slots. I had JUST enough slots to raise the bonus to 20.

    I made a run at the Khezu yesterday. I lasted a good long time against him but he got me eventually.

    FINALLY made my death scythe and can actually farm a kut ku now. So awesome. I can't wait to upgrade it to the Crimson thing. But where do I get a bloody horn from?

    Man your telling me, especially when he enrages and does that shit back to back , several times. Other than that, he's just a slightly annoying Kut ku, not really hard. I had to kill him 5 times to get 2 light crystals to upgrade my lance to Rampart. I hope theres a better source of light crystals in the future....

    other than that, I 1 shot the blue Kut ku and his red friend in the 3 star elder quests. I'm sure once I kill plesioth I'll get the urgent quest to upgrade to 4 stars, I've just been avoiding him is all :p BTW, is he weak to any element? I have a res saber which I've been using to plow through things, but if he's not weak to fire I'll give my Rampart a test run.

    So any suggestions on good armor/weapon for Khezu? I just have my Death Scythe and a smattering of stuff for armor, whatever would give me good defense rating.

    Once you've fought Khezu a few times you really don't need all that much armor. All his attacks are easy to avoid. The real key to beating him is not to take stupid chances, becuase if you get caught in one of his attacks you will usually be unable to recover before he can hit you with another one, which will either kill you or take you damn close.

    You're fine as far as a weapon goes, just make sure you pack a lot of whetstones, because it is extremely important to keep that death scythe at maximum sharpness. Fighting against dragons sharpness doesn't just mean more damage, it also helps you hit in the first place. A lower than maximum sharpness will mean lots of your attacks will be deflected on certain parts of the body. I suggest using the triangle + circle attack on Khezu frequently, because it's a wide range slash and moves you back a few paces. If done correctly it can take you out of Khezu's electrical field attack range easily.

    I hate to tell you this but killing Plesioth isn't one of the requirements to get the urgent for 4* elder.

    What I do is track him down to Area 3, then, armed with a bow, I just whittle him down with a bow, standing on the ledge with the egg nest. Fend off the Giaprey and proceed to plink him down. It's not foolproof, since he can kill you with the electric leap attack at about 40% health or so. Works pretty well in multiplayer with a melee person to lure him around, though it is quite slow, unless you've a beefy bow.

    So today I'd planned on building up my weapon power. Right now I intend to get a Devil Slicer (the thunderbug juices will be annoying as hell. :x ) and one of the Wyvern Blades. But I'm not sure which. Should I go for Fire or for Poison? Which will help we more in the long run against elder wyrms and the like?

    Edit: Oh, also, all the guides for the thunderbug juice mention the elder in the jungle. Which one is it? The one on top of the cliff in the starting area?
