Copypaste from prior thread, thank you for your hard work user
Did some research on Tempered Monsters in MHW And collected them in this post for easy digestion.
What is a tempered monster?
Tempered monsters are the endgame/postgame monsters in MHW. They are just like the regular monsters, but have increased attack power (enough to one shot geared hunters with certain attacks.) Tempered monsters also have a purple outline in their icon and leave blue tracks. Investigations with tempered monsters also have purple reward boxes.
Categorically the tempered monsters fall into 3 groups:
Rathalos (Might be tier 1, could not confirm) A.Rathalos P.Rathian Diablos B.Diablos Odogaron Legiana Bazelgeuse Lavasioth Uragaan
Nergigantte Teostra Kushala Daora Vaal Hazak Kirin
Higher the tier, the better the rewards. Note: the highest rarity drops are exclusive to the 3rd tier.
Where to fight them?
Tempered monsters are primarily investigation only, there are also few quests that pit you against tempered monsters. Tempered monster investigations are generally unlocked by gathering tempered tracks in expeditions. (These tracks seem to always spawn in the same spots) You can also them the same way as normal investigations when hunting tempered monsters. (break parts, gather tracks) But the chance is very low. They are also found under Investigations section when responding to S.O.S.
Why fight them?
Tempered monsters drop streamstones in rewards and tempered monster investigations reward either streamstones or feystones. Streamstones are used to augment Armor. They also come in different rarities. Streamstones can also be used at the melding pot to create new random decorations out of the old ones. You can also rarely get "warrior's streamstone" from 2nd tier upwards, they come in different types like Axe (Switch Axe & Charge Blade), Ranged (Bowgun's & Bow), etc, and can be used to augment the corresponding weapon types. Warrior's streamstones also have a rare version called "hero's streamstone" needed for augmenting Tier 8 weapons.
Note: that lower rarity armor require lower rarity streamstones to augment and lower rarity weapons have more augment slots.
Feystones turn into decorations when identified, and come in several different rarities. This is the only real way of getting rare decorations, and the fastest way of getting decorations in general. There are decorations for at least some of the set bonuses present in the game. (Bonus charge level for bow, Extra damage on non elemental weapons, etc).
Augmenting quick and dirty
Weapons can be Augmented following ways: Increased attack (+5 raw) Increased affinity (+10%) Bonus defense (+10) Extra slots (potentially upgrade existing slot) Heal on attack
Note: Numbers can potentially vary depending on weapon type.
Rarity 8 weapons have 1 augment slot, Rarity 7 has 2 and Rarity 6 has 3. Each augment also requires different plates and gems for different monsters.
Note: A weapon must be at the end of it's upgrade path to be augmented.
Joining the session does not change anything. It's like a LAN or lobby. You can still solo quests. This means you can join and continue on as normal while chatting. When you post a quest, it will be visible to the rest of us and we can join before you depart or during the quest. For those who still need an invite: just type in the ID in "join online session" | "search via ID". Then, type in chat and say, "Legiana a cute!". Reminder that you don't need the ID if you're already in the squad, but if you can't seem to connect to the one that already exists (via squad session search), you might want to use the ID instead. Note that, sometimes, you may inadvertently create a new session by yourself, without knowing, by using the regular squad session search. If you see that nobody is in the player list, you created a session. Check the thread for updated IDs to make sure you're actually creating a necessary room and not a second room. Unfortunately, the gathering hall hub is near-pointless since you can just post the quests from the village. That being said, we like to see that pretty face, so afk there and not the gay village unless you want to be a homo.
Will reply to this post when ID changes Reminder to keep the game updated
Jaxson Bennett

Angel Sanchez
Rathian is pure, right?
Ryan Nguyen
There's a lot of repeat recolors in the Fourth Generation list.
Alexander Sanchez
Yup. I'd say more variety overall as to monster types but I haven't got to a point in World where that bothers me just yet. I'm enjoying the game more than I thought but it definitely feels way different overall. Still making up my mind about it, but the core game play is pretty damn good
Brody Green
It's also comparing the 4th generation, which consists of 4 games, to a generation that consists of 1 game.
Jose Garcia
I hope they keep Glavenus where he fucking is. I swear to Gogmazios that half the rooms in Generations were on permanent Hellblade farms.
Wyatt Barnes
WHY
David Evans
Please post a source for this or shut the fuck up.
Liam Miller
...
Jacob Morgan
Reminder that MH3U/G is objectively the best game in the whole franchise. MH4U/G is the last good game they made. MHXX is straight trash. MHW isn't even an MH game.
Caleb Ramirez
Sounds like the spirit of the randoms's got you there for a bit
Lincoln Cruz
Hell no.
This is a Jho thread now.
Connor Taylor
Nah, fuck off.
Jack Cook
Coincidence? You decide
Zachary Price
Did the Ultimate version introduce brand new monsters? I've never played base versions, only G versions.
Kevin Barnes
For 4 specifically in addition to bringing back old monsters like Monoblos and Chameleos, it also introduced Seregios, Molten Tiggy, Shah Dala, and Gogmazios. Basically, anything in High Rank Village or G Rank that isn't in Low Rank Village or Low/High Rank Gathering Hall is new.
Leo Reyes
MH4 itself had 51 large monsters on its initial release, 15 of those being subspecies, so 36 base large monsters.
For comparison, MHW has 31 monsters total with 3 of those being subspecies, so 28 base large monsters.
I think we could swap her model out for one who doesn't look like a retard. Others noted that practically every other female NPC doesn't look like such trash.
Adrian Hughes
No
Nathan Fisher
Monoblos was introduced in MH4U, not MH4.
As for MHW, he doesn't exist in there.
Jordan Davis
Right, I forgot about that. What a shit "subspecie"
Sebastian Reyes
No he wasn't monoblos has been in the game since the very beginning while the white was introduced in MHG.
Anthony Clark
*Reintroduced Happy?
Luis Foster
ah, ok.
You're not wrong. would still fuck, though
Jonathan Rivera
...
Gabriel Gutierrez
To be fair, mudslioth and the magma jagrass are basically subspecies. They just aren't only recolors. Though mudslioth is almost only recolor.
Hunter King
>get to area 5? with the cliffs that dont have vines I bolted
Leo Baker
So how long until handler gets an ashely from RE4 skin?
Tyler Wood
Arena Longsword needs nerfed, white sharpness with 3 handi, protective polish and 100% affinity are all possible with it and it benefits from non element boost, no longsword even comes close.
Caleb Wright
god damn it, every game.
Juan Bennett
If we really want to pick hairs, then all the MH4 crackraptors are subspecies of velocidrome too. I had to stop somewhere.
Adrian Lewis
All new world monsters are just autism versions of older monsters jagras = Ludroth Anjanath = Deviljho Odogaron = doggy serigios Radobaan = uragaan with squishy Paolumu = really fluffy version of the owl without confusing
Jason Torres
That outfit just makes it worst.
Zachary Gonzalez
They pretty much are, like all jaggi, baggi wroggis are. Not by ingame logic, but they are really close to each other in everything.
I don't hate them, but I find it weird that they aren't counted as subspecies. And now the devs want to make "subspecies" but not call them subspecies according to some interview.
You are really stretching it there with odogaron and paolumu. Radobaan is also pretty much just subspecies for uragaan, forgot that from earlier post.
Isaiah Gonzalez
I mean that was painfully obvious in MHXX where they made all of the deviants. I don't really disagree with that approach, I think it's great to have more variation, but I also think that there's no excuse to not include all of the "recolor" subspecies in a game. Fuck's sake they're just recolors how hard is it?
Caleb Ramirez
Ok yea Im stretching with odogaron but but its a really really poor mans sergios its so slow and less mobile and doesn't have wings but its still the fastest jumpy thing in the game
Angel Evans
Yeah it is great that subspecies now will have actual variety, but why not just call them subspecies still? And some old subspecies were still okay, or had reversed gimmick like glacial agnaktor. It was also interesting to bump into barroth in ice map, but his snowballs were a bit unimaginative.
Jose Sanchez
If redefining subspecies to be like deviants which means the recolours get more actual variation in mechanics, like say Brach and Raging Brach, or Nerscylla and Shrouded Nerscylla where the difference in monster actually means something then I'm all for it. Instead of everything being like Diablos/Black Diablos & Rathian/Pink-Gold Rathian, although Dreadqueen Rathian was a good way to keep things similar but different.
Samuel Brown
Is it too much to ask for somebody to make timestamps during my streams? Just jot down the time code every time something noteworthy happens on screen, funny or embarrassing and whatnot. I might make shorter webm compilations in the future. Hell they might be a good learning tool for other new hunters down the line, but this won't be the main focus of my streams - having a fun adventure is. Is there anything I can do to improve the streams in any way? Mic and facecam are off limits due to cancer, obviously.
Nolan Nguyen
...
Jeremiah Foster
Use twitch or something else than youtube for starters. People can "clip" your plays and blunders themselves in twitch too, and get instant webm that way.
Ryan Carter
Only way to make him see his shitness is to teach him how to actually play.
Anthony Cooper
I've had that happen to me before, too.
Joseph Ross
disgusting
Adrian Rodriguez
It is, but it is still probably the best streaming site because how stable and low latency it has. tfw beam was supposed to have 1 second latency, but microsoft(?) bought it and low latency is now pay to use
Carson Evans
I guess it does work, short test stream went on without a hitch. At least now I know what to name the next actual stream.
Ian Lopez
I have never seen that site function at any point, regardless of what browser or plugins/extensions are being used.
Lincoln Green
Good lad.
Wyatt Hernandez
I can't stand twitch, half of the site is full of camwhores who think their to good for real camwhore sites and the other half is (((esports))) plus for some idiotic reason you can't search for streams by game names only channel names.
Lincoln Roberts
It's really convoluted and I'm not sure if regular people can edit clips, let alone those without a twitch account and I am NOT going to force anybody to sign up to this. I'll do a stream or two on twatch to see how it all works out, but I still think timecodes would have been easier. I realize how cancerous both yt and tw platforms are, so this is going to be a choice of which justwerks™ better.
worst part is it's suggesting I watch a crossdressing faggot playing fortnite "based on my viewing history". I only ever watched like 2 vinesauce streams and a bunch of Warframe streams once for in-game loot.
Hudson Butler
I mean I've never even seen a video load on it at all. I'm not sure why that's the case though.
Samuel Bailey
Are you sure? or did you just browse 2 second and think you know how the site work
Jason Richardson
No he wasn't you fucking idiot
Christian Reed
Yes i'm sure, it has never worked for me.
Evan Allen
it just you m8
Xavier Foster
I'm using waterfox. Clear your cache maybe?
Alexander Williams
Well there is smashcast too. But sometimes it buffers every now and then and what I have watched my friend's streams there, the latency just keeps growing slowly, which is kind of weird. But hey, at least you can link pictures in chat instead of smileys.
Jason Myers
I miss Hitbox. It was so much better before the merge.
Owen Johnson
nobody used the youtube chat during my previous streams, everybody shitposts here, which is preferable
I miss livestream. Their steraming software was so straightforward and easy to use yet offered enough options for picky streamers.
Brayden Campbell
Livestream has been always very wonky too for me. Ustream would be okay if you could adjust the screen size more. Zooming the webpage yourself makes the screen size usually go bigger than your screen there.
Christian Jenkins
There's a lot of repeat recolors on the fifth generation list
Leo Barnes
Ustream has been shitting up for me lately. Like on Valentines Day when Mark was trying to stream it kept disconnecting and what not. I thought it was just Mark being bad at streaming, but when I streamed some anime for some friends later that day it also kept disconnecting. I really wish there would be a consistent streaming service.
Josiah Reyes
Why, Capcom!?
Evan Gomez
wait, what was that streaming thing we use for E3? moe-something? That way, I can use whichever platform I prefer and none of you have to deal with its cancer!
but user, it's for gameplay variety
Cameron Young
WHY WON'T THE HEAD BREAK ON VAL HAZAAK I CAN BREAK BOTH HORNS ON BLACK DIABLOS AND NERGIGANTE BUT THIS SHIT STAYS INTACT WHAT THE FUCK
William Anderson
infinity.moe? It only embeds streams. You still have to pick what flavor of gay streaming site to use to stream through.
Nolan Ross
And then user was the jap I'm so sorry
Liam Baker
Sometimes breaks are elemental based. They were in 1 and 2, anyway, like you couldn't cut Rajang's tail without ice.
Grayson Perez
I am pretty sure that hasn't been the case 3rd gen and afterwards.
Henry Wilson
Sounds more like the Frog to me
Elijah Clark
It hasn't but World made a ton of retard decisions, so I wouldn't be surprised. I suppose the alternative is to use a non element weapon and hit JUST the head.
Aaron Lewis
She would look pretty great if only she didn't look like she had been sick for a week. Her puffy red eyes and dry lips are her only problems. The facial animations are a game wide issue.
Luis Hernandez
It's absolutely fucking retardrd that they took this out. This was fucking cool and required you to have different builds for different monsters and shit
Nathan Ross
I think to break teostra's horns you still need the dragon element
Matthew Young
Not in Gen or 4U, they're just really fucking durable.
Carter Parker
In theory it was neat, but in practice it was just annoying
Austin Butler
But I played 4U user
Josiah Moore
Do I have to doot my own horn on a microphone or will I get sued by Sony of Australia for culturally appropriating the didgeridoo.?
Michael Cox
Alright so i'm a streamfag and there's a site I use called stream.me no clipping of funny moments or whatever available, but it's got low latency and it's for free, and it also nets people money pretty easily for streaming which is the main reason anyone streams there, if twitch and youtube are fucking you over, give it a try. Only downside is manly tears streams there
Hudson Thomas
Anyone remember how the G1 quests in MH4U are unlocked? Two thirds of the quests are missing, but according to kiranico and ping's dex they have no prerequisites.
Hunter Perez
M a l e
Caleb Martin
It's functional and I enjoy the cleaner layout for now, but I am unnerved by the "sunshine and sparkles and unicorns from space with animal avatars" theme going on. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see how it goes.
Asher Reyes
pretty sure teo and kushala still have the *cant break horns until under 30% hp* mechanic
Jason Rivera
No fuck you it was great in practice
I mean maybe you didn't enjoy it and that's cool, "fuck you" is probably too harsh. But it justified my weapon collection and justified using something other than just raw for every fight in every fucking game on any slow weapon. It's like gearing up with poison for Kush. Needing different builds for different things justifies the grinding and lets you do a wider variety of shit. If you needed dragon to break Teo's horns then maybe you wouldn't have every fucker in world gearing up in Diablos all the fucking time.
Colton Diaz
But I played non-elemental GS.
I am not too sure about that either, but it could be still a thing.
Brody Richardson
Many pieces are in the public domain but the recordings of specific performances belong to the organizations that recorded them.
Elijah Diaz
Well he probably keeps his streams pretty short, I'd imagine.
Samuel Lewis
Updated ID: 42ZNetEwdia4 Monday 3pm eastern
Jonathan Carter
He just afks and plays his youtube videos on stream mostly because the more time you stream and the more people watch you, the more money the site doles out for you in its monthly contest, so he's earning at least $2.5K a month playing his old youtube videos all day and night and doing the occasional stream maybe twice a week?
Jayden Fisher
FUCKING GRILLED LOBSTER YOU GOD DAMN HEATHEN FELINES BOIL IT IN A POT WITH SEAWEED
Jeremiah Wilson
Even stream.me hates the little shit, they made emptyhero's avatar into a global emote just to spite him knowing how much he hates emptyhero.
I never understood why they make Felynes the chefs in every game the last thing I would want is for a cat to cook my food, just think how much cat hair is in that soup bowl alone.
Juan Peterson
i never wanted to know this, I was hoping he fell into a pothole and was never able to escape
Levi Perez
user it was a joke
Cooper Myers
I'm autistic, my bad.
Yeah that's the community emote slot, basically the stream.me community votes on a emote to be made emote of the week so that anyone can use it for a week.
Xavier Howard
They may have hair rather than fur. Less likely to shed, less dander dust.
Jaxon Flores
Then why do they have chef hats on instead of overalls? Answer: it's a game, don't worry about it.

Andrew Hill
Alloy pants give quick sharpening, use it til you grew out of LR then swap to the HR alloy pants
Austin Nguyen
For low rank? I always did low rank with the first attack up set, so for p3rd it was jaggi set I think.
Here is another soundless webm
Blake Carter
Baggi Cap (the Gunner version, has more Skill Points) and then the arm and leg parts from Baggi, combined with the body and waist parts from Jaggi. It'll give you enough point for Attack Up M, with 5 single slots so you can get Attack Up L, or slot in a 2 for 1 gem skill like Speed Sharpening or Tremor Res.
He's not playing World, he's playing Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

Asher Garcia
The super Berserk Armor-looking one? I don't think so, unless nips got a special event armor I don't remember. It looks like that one was supposed to be some kind Zamtrios armor variant or something. There's some that look kind of close if you squint.

Owen Bell
Wew, I was going to post that picture after work. I love that guy's art. I hope he continues to do monsters from the older games after he's done all of world's.
Brandon Sullivan
I got armor and weps for both HR and LR, I'm only hr6 but some other players are higher
Oh it looked like event armor to me, kinda see zamitros resemblance but ive only seen lr and HR versions of it maybe it looks more like it at G-rank
Chase Thompson
Looks like proto-relic armor. They wanted RNG, but whatever that shit was didn't make the cut so they made relics instead. Personally I hate RNG and think talismans and drop rates are more than fucking enough. Worst part of MH4U.
James Hughes
Neat, HR 4 here. I'll probably join, though might be a bit late depending on when you start, or might dip in the middle for lunch.
Lucas Roberts
No, they wanted a good joke armor. Also, Cocoon Man's concept art is from Monster Hunter Illustrated Vol. 1 which goes over 1, 1G, Freedom, etc.
Kayden Collins
Never noticed that before, cute!
Asher Sanchez
That's it for today, hope you enjoyed. Started out kind of embarrassing with a Baggi cart, but I made up for it by being ruthless to it in return and 2 G.Wroggis. Met 2 new monsters, one was just an upgraded version of a bear and one was clearly made for gunners, upgraded some of my shit and GEE, TWO CHAINSWORDS? It's been fun, hope the game throws something tough at me soon, todays stream had too little intensity compared to previous ones. But I guess you can't have it 100% balls to the wall all the time.
Hunt well, comrades! no commie
Kayden Kelly
We're proud of you always user, and look forward to the next episode of your quest to git gud.
Ryan Wood
I hope you enjoyed gigginox. There are maybe few hard monsters in low rank, but the fun starts with hr.
Ayden Stewart
They've always been bad user. The video clips we saw of the old games were the literal 1% of players who had felt they were good enough to buy equipment to mod their 3DS to record video. Watching Capcom streams showing celebrities and occasionally demo-station videos are a more realistic portrayal of what they are actually like.
Just have to remember, MH is their Madden.
Samuel Perry
wow mang, thanks, too bad the art book costs like $200
Shid, it's probably a good idea to type in the stream address manually or search by game, there's only like a dozen people playing P3rd. Next stream will be done through stream.me, but I've still got my doubts about that platform, the sound may be delayed very soon and the whole monetization oriented atmosphere… we'll see when we get there
Hudson Hill
Tell me you faggots don't see it. I would have said most of this shit is coincidence, but the knives on the chest, the hip mounted knife that is strangely out of position from all the rest, which are on the ass, the countless motif similarities, the pointed boots, the pointed shoulder and knee pads, it's all obviously a great big nod to miura.
Carson Russell
here are the originals of the references so you can see for yourself.
Logan Gutierrez
A year ago you could easily get the translated Vol. 1 and 2 off of amazon for ~30 USD. You can get the imported (and untranslated) Vol. 3 off of ebay or ~60 USD right now. Looks like they ran out of the print runs they had and people are jacking up the price again.
Here's a volafile for Vol. 3 which I'm currently uploading, I haven't downloaded 1 & 2 because I own them, but I'll upload those too if I find them.
I'm seeing similarities in armor, not actual referencing of guts' armor
Zachary Edwards

I found the magnets to Monster Hunter Illustrations Vol. 1 in English and Vol. 2 in English: Vol. 1: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:316DCF2981E20B7B2C9167DE9C7053C9F21B54E1&dn=Monster+Hunter+Illustrations+Vol.+1+%5BEnglish%5D&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce
Roady and I were having a disagreement as to whether or not the Vaal armor was a direct reference to the berserker armor. I agree that it's not 1:1, since that would be retarded, but besides the light fixtures the armor really does look extremely identical in design. I get that it's nothing new to say japan is referencing either jojo or berserk because it's extremely hard not to when your game is about weapon and armor porn, or when it has a supernatural elements like ghost fighting or weird, unique powers. It's just something I saw and when someone said they couldn't see it I wanted to show my perspective on it, since it's impossible not to see, having read so much of berserk.
You know about power/armor charms/talons right? I played so fucking poorly that second attempt.
Isaac Nelson
i didnt know where he sleeps
Yea thats why i was looking forward to fighting him
Levi Brooks
That pages idea is so fucking cool
Austin Davis
neat Thanks armordump user.
Nathaniel Anderson
muh dik
Isaiah Lee
Almost all of their discarded ideas are neat/comical in some way. Lot of nausicaa vibes. 1st page here really shows how far they went into thinking about armor.
Ethan Anderson
So what's the best weapon for melting Lavasioth armor?
Hammer, since superpound/big bang doesn't bounce?
Jace Stewart
It's my second day doing this so far. I'm getting Tri vietnam-style flashbacks.
Yes, that, and he's weak to stun.
Wyatt Young
Post hunters?
Connor Wood
Thanks for the Hunts anons sorry i kept tripping both of you
Jaxson Phillips
i havent tried it out yet, but if its anything like agnaktor bringing a weapon with high raw and a slight amount of fire to keep his armor from cooling so you dont bounce. uragaan LS comes to mind. personally i just use gunlance for shit like that and bypass the armor completely.
Parker Cooper
WHAT IS THE FUCKING DROP RATE ON THIS SHIT
Asher Kelly
Which play on PPSSPP emulator, 3rd Portable or Freedom Unite? Which one has the most content?
Sebastian Brown
P3rd
Jayden Kelly
Thanks.
Ian Barnes
Desire S e n s o R
Josiah Adams
What? Freedom Unite has G Rank, P3rd doesn't. Both are excellent, don't get me wrong, but FU has a ton more content.
James Richardson
Do monsters only recover stamina when sleeping/eating (and ignore it when enraged)?? Or does it actually regen fully while enraged
Ian Campbell
Does anyone know how much exhaust/ko damage the hammer sliding buzzsaw attack does? Because if it's not significantly less than standard options, I see almost no reason not to spam it, particularly if you've got a status hammer for reasons.
Stamina from eating, health from sleeping, same as you.
Jonathan Green
I swap to a shelling heavy GL build for lavasioth.
Oliver Barnes
Switch axe should be used for everything. It's the patrician weapon of choice.
Adrian Ward
Mate there have always been rules against camwhores and they're still there. They might enforce them for a couple of weeks at first so that they don't seem like incapable retards but afterwards it's free for all again and nobody cares.
Joshua Murphy
Currently playing XX and since that means I pretty much exclusively play with japs, this is not true at all. Haven't met a single bad one yet. Not in World eiter.
Landon Allen
good job user, bullying monster back is just
Joseph Miller
Won't happen. World is the normalfag flash in the pan and you'll never see the likes of Ukanlos and non-world monsters by artists who bandwagon onto whatever is popular to rob shekels from the retards.
see zootopia
Luke Watson
Seriously, he was the monster that iconified the entire monster vs monster combat. It's fucking retarded that he isn't in the base game.
when is IS added, he better be at the top of every god damn combat encounter, even vs Elder dragons because fuck you, Jho needs respect and not to be shat on by some new edgy cunts
Evan Johnson
Pic related.

Don't these cuck kut-kus, not purest cutest los trapbuddy?
Jose Wood

Nathaniel Bell

Jackson Roberts
So if you spam all your exhaust ammo no them at the start of the fight, they'll just be fighting exhausted until they enrage? The only one I've seen escape far enough to eat something so far is Diablos because of his sanic digging speeds
Owen Phillips
I no longer drop eggs after a quest anymore.

Not too unexpected Asian countries have that as cuisine, and it's something they'd likely overlook as being 'wrong' elsewhere. Like grilling lobster.

Leo Hernandez
Why does Xeno's hunting horn have two attack/defense up songs?
Gavin Jenkins
The KO damage is pretty good from what I can tell. Stunned a couple of monsters with it already.
Liam Russell
That's happened plenty of times before. Two different combos for the same song.
Joseph Jackson
Do they stack together?
Cooper Gutierrez
Nigger what? Kut-ku cucked Rathalos by fucking his waifu, then he raised Garuga like a bitch. Kut-ku's name is even derived from cuckoo, the bird that the term "cuckold" was derived from, because it cucks other birds by laying its eggs in their nest and tricking them into raising its young. It's the deepest lore this series has. Yian Garuga is basically just a hybrid of Rathian and Kut-ku, Rathian's a huge whore who fucks other monsters all the time. She cheats on him with Astalos in Generations too, iirc a quest description mentions them mating. In XX a Dreadqueen cucks a Dreadking with an ordinary Astalos. That's my interpretation of her G5 quest at least, poor Dreadking even comes over to watch. Rathalos is such a bitch that even at his best, he can't stop his girl from fucking anything that looks her way.
Carter Fisher
No. Just two ways to use the same song.
Samuel Wilson
So i just got the Summons from below optional quest to fight tempere Vaal and doggo would i get any tempered elder invetigations from from picking up his footprints?
Brayden Morales
That's usually how it works. Break bits, pick up tracks, be in proximity to
Sebastian Cook
E-even hunters?!
Blake Morris

Anthony Price
It should work. People do the same thing with the tempered kirin quest. Just be sure to either finish the quest or use return from quest, since quitting prevents you from getting any research you've gathered.

I decided to start playing gen again and I can see that people have actually gotten worse at the game.
Wyatt Walker
there is nothing wrong with using aerial dualblades, they're fun
Nathan Martin
About to post the Zeno optional if anyone wants in. I'd rather grab you nerds than random Jap shitters.
Mason Gray
If gen wasn't so dead, I would insta kick those ariel fucks. Just like the good old days.
Cameron Sanchez
Suppose I should mention for posterity, had two other rando horn users pop into my kushala hunt last night. It was magical. The last guy's palico had a horn too. Buffs out the wazoo, xeno horn causing my own bazelreid to constantly boom the entire length of the dragon. Only hiccup was when, limping, the wyvern fuck blasted the damn and nearly washed away the whole team. Three mounts, constantly flopping on the ground, wonderful.
Nathan Green
Why are you playing gen and not 4u? You don't deserve to play with a single person user. It would even be more respectable for you to play XX. But I dont blame you if you're actually having fun user.
Brandon Wilson
What did he mean by this?
Jackson Rogers
It means you're gonna get bullied scrub
Brody Sullivan
Is the new lonehunta streaming again?

Jason Hughes
How do i into other weapons? Im not going any of the ranged ones because fuck the n3ds controls
Oliver Cruz
Just pick up one and practice with it.
Charge Blade is my main but I also dabble in Longsword, Bow and Dual Blades.
Landon Rivera
I don't know what that cat is moon runing, but I can't help but feel it's
Jackson Carter
If you like the charge blade then give the switch axe a try.
Henry Cruz
Sorry mate. Towards the end of my long sessions i start to lose my skill and judgement due to fatigue and he was comboing me with fuckshit.
Caleb Williams
I'm just fugging with you mate, it's fine
Justin Lee
Oh shit a Great Baggi in record time, compared to that first 60 minute+ Great Jaggi hunt you have improved a lot
Connor Turner
tempered nergigante sword, here i come
Cooper Watson
That's pronounced Devil Hoe, right?
I'm envisioning a Sukeban with the unruly spiky tomboy haircut and one of them Thirsty Bitch grins.

Christopher Walker
I don't remember Zenogre being this fast when he first appeared.
Charles Jenkins
you talked shit, so you get hit
Brandon Allen
I know you already started but is a little painfull to watch.
Xavier Torres
Is 1 point in flinch free even good as a GS or do i need more i have the choice between 2 flinch free or 3 Handicraft instead of 2 which just gives me more blue for the Great wyvern Jawblade
Jack Hall
well what do you suggest, smarty pants? That i play with a slow ass weapon and get my ass handed to me even faster?
Alexander Harris
slow isn't bad, just have patience you can't really attack him when he's super sayian anyways
Brody Flores
Hit the backlegs until he trips and you will be fine. Works with every weapon except GS. Zinogre will always try to combo you but you can still hit him in the head when he gets distracted with the energy balls thing and before the second howl when he's charging up. Also you can try to get a weapon with green sharpness if you don't want to bounce too much. (Even if has little green, you can compensate with the speed sharp skill)
You can still hit him but it becomes a literall 1 hit&run away.
Michael Fisher
I'm tired.
Joshua Morales
the dude wants to go all out on him when he really doesn't have the space for it, he needs to wait till he knocks the monster down then brack his back so that it can't super sayian as hard
Levi Wood
I've tried the hit&run tactic, I realize that would take all night and I was prepared to do it, but this fucker still combos me to death even if I am cautious. I set up traps and half the time he runs off immediately after, I set up barrels for him to hit with his FUCKHUGE attacks, but they don't trigger, I throw paintballs, sonic bombs and flashbangs at em, but that only works 2% of the time. This is bullshit and I'm going to get some rest, my head is killing me.
Liam Lopez
you were doing more with the hammer honest
Henry Lee
Just hit and don't get hit.
Michael Robinson
...
Dominic Hall
Use the Greatsword and you'll win
Ian Taylor
you really think so? he wasn't just flinching? And it says the damage on my flithammer is lower than the one on my bone twin blades, so what gives?
Mason Fisher
This. Just unsheate attack to face, sheathe, repeat. Comboing with GS is shit until High Rank.
Adrian Jenkins
looking at pure damage just isn't the best thing there's alot more to consider specially what the weapons actually do and what type of damage they do, I know that your hammer did fire but what about your dbs? cut doesn't seem to be the best thing for where you were attacking most of the time anyways
Blake Anderson
I'll try once with a Hammer and once with a great sword, just tell me what element this cunt is weak to so I can know which sword to forge
Nathan Clark
You will get the bully till you bully that Zinogre.
Noah Rivera
he's weak to ice but fire to the face works
Landon Flores
Well i finally got around to beating vaal haak and xeno'jiva to beat the story and boy were they pushovers compared to teostra and kushala dauora.
So what now? just purple investigations?
Zachary Ross
Greatsword does not care about element like weak baby weapons, just get the one with the biggest numbers and smash Ziggy in the face.
Luis Brown
No 4U user tonight?
John Ortiz
I feel conflicted
Hunter Peterson
feel disgusted instead I DIDN'T PICK THE WHETSTONE THERE!
Evan Moore
I'm too pissed to celebrate, just glad this is over. I just realized I forgot to pick up his dropped parts.
Landon Cox
Well, a hammer is fine too. Good job, user. Now do it until you can make his armor
Jordan Taylor
Honestly you did pretty well considering you were using what I assume was a pretty new weapon for you
Let the hate fuel your future monster genocides
Mason Long

Adrian James
Same. I hope he used my advice in his victory.
Matthew Powell
I'm certain it was all down to (you)
Cameron Wright
I gotta apologize for my rotten mood earlier, but you have to understand where I'm coming from. That little cutscene managed to put me back in better mood. So is this it? I'm done with low rank? I thought all of village quests were low rank or did I forget mayor saying about something? Was it that village quests only go up to 4****?
hit and don't get hit? brilliant mate, worked like a charm, I did exactly that when the game let me.
I'll see you all in a while, got real life bullshit coming up. I'll still upload todays stream onto youtube, hopefully no copyright bans this time. Good hunting!
Henry Roberts
apologize to your cat
Hudson Turner
Hold on, I need to read up on that. I hope my anger didn't turn this into a shitty stream, most of you have transitioned from schadenfreude to support and this kinda shits in the collective bucket. Just keep up the bants.
Asher Sanders
I was only disappointed you gave up before, generally happy you did it
Isaiah Smith
jesus christ how horrifying, thank fuck i brought a shield
Cooper Lewis

Blake Parker
XX is literally Generations with more content. That's like saying you'll play 4 but not 4U.
Cooper Lewis
I want a weapon like Charge Blade where I can play it for 100 hours and feel like I'm getting better, what other weapon feels like this?
I'm not going to getting into Hunting Horn for now, maybe one day. So the only other one I can think of is Gunlance? Are there any more?
Thomas Scott
Literally all of them.
Nathan Flores
I want there to be a lot to learn too. I love hammer and I know it has a skill ceiling but that doesn't mean it has much to learn
Justin Walker
All of the weapons have nuances that you learn over time.
But if you want a "complex" weapon like CB, then Switchaxe is another one to look at.
Xavier Powell
Don't you dare make my heart go dokidoki, nigga.
Nolan Sanchez
Nani?
Luis Gray
I am so fucking sick of dual blade fuckers flinching me when i'm trying to smash a head. Fuck off, please.
Bentley Foster
Maybe I was the shitter all along
Landon Rivera
Lance. Until you counter every attack, you can't tell it isn't complicated. :^)
Alexander Gomez
He can't keep getting away with this
Jordan Carter
Oh yes he can!
Apparently you can counter attacks with LS in World. I was thinking of making a LS but every one in the game looks like shit in terms of stats. I can't see why its the most used weapon at all.
Profit??? I think not.
Justin Gray
He made a lewd with her and the bat. I didn't post it because I know people would complain about the bat having a snout
speaking of cats, the drinks give bonuses to a hunter and not his cat(s), right? It's confusing me a bit since they all have a "Feline" prefix.
Elijah Evans
Yeah, those bonuses are for the hunter. They're called Feline Carver, Fline Moxie and such because the cooks are all cats as well.
Watching the cut scene when you send a safari out from airship made me realize if they ever made a tabletop game for Monster Hunter I'd be a damn cat.
David Carter
Goddamn Vaal Hazaak is such a pushover. I know who to farm now for Streamstones.
Sebastian Price
Wew, they've got some kinky shit going on, or that's a fucking tsundere relationship.
Jack Gonzalez
Well it's a Rathian they're the whores of minegarde and will fuck anything with a pulse, how else do you think Garuga come about?
Ryder Morgan
You think one would back down from banging a living explosion. How the fuck is one even alive after that?
Isaac Bailey
Started maining LS in Freedom Unite, I can explain.
Longsword, more any other weapon, needs handicraft badly. It's individual colors are all stupidly short, and it's a fast swinging weapon. Think of it as occupying the space between GS and DB. You've got your Spirt Gauge which fills as you hit monsters. You use the spirt gauge to loose an R2 combo that ends with the spirit roundslash. If you hit the roundslash you add a glow around your spirit guage: White, yellow, and finally red. The higher the glow, the more damage you do. So the stats themselves are deceptive; the LS has a built in damage buff, it's long enough to hit tails of flying Rathalos' and it swings pretty damn fast.
Once upon a time, you got to red glow then just darted in and out, only ocasionally going for the roundslash to keep refreshing it. Not anymore. Now, with R2 + Triangle you do a thrust that, if it lands, will then launch you into the air for a downward slash that can hit multiple hit boxes. you might get fucked and only get two hits on a bird wyvern, but a big fatty lik Urgagaan? You'll be doing some hammer teir damage if you land. Downside is that using the jumpslash eats a glow, whether you hit or not. Upside is if you do it your spirit gauge auto fills for about 15 seconds making a follow up combo into roundslash to get your glow back up easier. Speed killers build up to red, jumpslash and repeat when using the LS.
Now. the counter bit. Triangle + circle gets you a backhop and swing. That's nothing new. R2+Circle gets you a bigger backhop, with all the I-frames. This must be done mid combo. In other words you have to swing at least once, then R2+Circle while your weapon is still out. The backhop is not QUITE long enough to carry you through a full charge from a diablos. After the back hop you move forward and attack. Downside of this is triggering it empties your spirit gauge. But. If you actually get attacked while in i-frames you flash blue. If you hit the counter after flashing blue, you will instead fill your spirit gauge, and can immediately follow up with a roundslash to increase your glow a step. It's easier to do than all the convoluted steps make it sound, but it's not applicable against all attacks.
Jonathan Green
Fuck me, that's kind of an important distinction.
Leo Miller
I can usually get over a weapons initial clunkiness after 2-3 hunts. Not so with long sword. It feels like absolute shit and keeps feeling like shit no matter how much I fuck with it. Plus it's by far the trippingest cancer in the game so I'd rather not even bother. If I want to web it up I use the insect glaive.
John Morales
I mean, I can see why from it's moveset it would have that reputation, but in my experience GS and DB users trip you up much more.
Leo Scott

Hunter Foster
Who want xeno hunt? I got my dragon-slaying bazel set ready to roll and I'm willing to put a token on the line. Just as well, I had a lot of luck last night as far as killing him solo with no deaths and scraping a gem out of the fight, so maybe my luck will rub off onto you boyos.

Charles Foster
I fucking hate rathalos and rathian It's the worst because of how little health it has too. It's fucking insulting to beat the shit out of it and get one bad draw and you lose 30% of the reward.
Jordan Nelson
Double bagel is NOT HORN FRIENDLY Too much health, too much damage, too much yelling. I only have horns to negate two of the three excesses. This is the true meatgate. Nergie and xeno are slow ass benchwarming bitches in comparison.
Jack Peterson
Need help? I can smack him real good, got blast weapons and blast and roar resist.
Dylan Williams
Bunch of keen randos helped. If I didn't have that friendship charm on there would have been six or seven carts as people ran screaming on fire, barely a sliver of green in a bar of red. I have a small taste of the horrors of war now.
William Wright
pretty trusty palico, you got there That was a fun hunt, I enjoy a good bard.
Liam Brown
At first I thought you were caught in a stun spiral, being so low on health and poisoned. Anyone have tips for HR Kirin, besides don't get hit? I was never good at rhythm games, let alone DDR.
Landon Barnes
I got stunned and poisoned, remembered every fight I've ever had with the thing, and went into a bloody rage a la Alfred. Is kirin hard? I didn't necessarily have any problems with him.
Sebastian Sanchez
Use hit-and-run tactics to smack him in the face as much as possible. Eat your vegetables. If you've got shitty lightning resist use the thunderproof mantle when he charges up. You can make him lose his aura if you stagger his head, if you pick up any dragon pods save them for that.
Josiah Thomas
How to charge blade?
Leo Scott
Pro tip: Flash bugs are your best friend against them user. Bring the flash bombs, and also 10 Flashbugs. Put an auto-make Flash bombs in the radial menu. Now both are a push over. Rathian is also piss easy either way, and much more fun to fight IMO.
Adam Sanchez
They are easy to kill, they just get one good combo out and I'm done.
Ryan Martin
Don't stop moving. Try to be on her side when she does her lightning zigzag horseshit that one shots you. Bring the biggest meanest elderseal hammer you have and level 3 super charge the shit out of her head until that FUCKING kelbidrome stops twitching. Gem for thunder resist/part breaker or KO.
Dominic James
Are you talking about Tempered Kirin? If so, the best way is to use fire and not get hit. I had full thunder resist decorations and still got bodied my first two tries. Third try did the trick, and I had the coral orchestra cat who gave me attack up, defense up and negate stun which helped a bit.
Tempered Kirin is such a cunt for an introduction to tempered Elder Dragons. Vaal and even Nergigante with his teleportation bullshit give you a much easier time.
Practice. The general idea is to use the mobility and defense in sword and shield mode most of the time, while building up power. Then unleash that power with axe mode when there are openings. For the most part, unleashing that power usually means using Ultra Discharges instead of the normal axe attacks.
In SnS mode you have something called Guard Points. These are points in the animation between switching to/from axe mode where you pull the shield up in front of you. If you get hit from the front during that point, you automatically guard.
These are powered up if your shield is charged, giving you a stronger guard, and if you do a GP when being attacked, it can do damage. Impact CB does stun damage and if an enemy does an attack with their head nearby where it gets damaged, it can KO them if you built up enough stun.
If you're using a Power Element CB, the discharges and guard points do elemental damage instead of stun.
Since the explosion from ultra discharges are a somewhat wide area that extends forward from the point of impact you want to position yourself so that all the explosions hit and do damage.
The explosions are REALLY good at smashing parts, so you can use that to your advantage. Impact CBs are good for every situation while Elemental are mostly situational. So I use impact CBs most of the time.
If I'm playing online and there's a hammer user in the party, I focus on breaking parts and cutting tails if he's on the head, occasionally doing extra stun damage with ultras. If he's a shitty hammer user then I'll take up the task of focusing on KOing the monster.
Oliver Ortiz
I've heard everyone uses CB as basically a switch axe with the qualities of a hammer and from what I can tell by playing with it the SnS is better than actual SnS because it plays more like GL. Coming off of playing strictly a funlance character, the R2+O functions exactly the same as the reload with the same input, and now I just have an extra function of switching with R2 and triangle.Thankfully I'm way into blast weapons and I made the final form of the Zorah CB, which is impact phials. So sometimes when I "reload" all the phials will go empty, and sometimes they'll be full; does it work like LS where I need to build up charge by attacking? I know that attacking makes the phials charge up, but they don't actually fill until I reload after hitting the enemy a bunch. Basically I want to know I'm filling my phials with radical monster blood, since that is extremely in-line with the character I'm playing.
Chase James
When you hit enemies with enough sword attacks, the phials symbol begins to glow. Yellow and then red, then bright red. Yellow means if you load the phials, you only get 3. Red means that if you load, you'll get the full 5.
Bright red means you've overcharged. You'll still get 5, but any further attacks in sword mode will bounce.
You have to attack to charge up, then load that charge into your phials.
After you've loaded your phials, you can transfer them into your shield to power that up. Do an Amped Discharge (triangle and circle in axe mode, or the same buttons after a shield thrust in sns mode) then hold R2 during the windup animation. You'll do a slash instead but all your phials will empty into your shield, making your shield and axe attacks stronger. Then build up more charge and load phials again to make your axe attacks even stronger.
You could say you're siphoning blood with your sword and then using it to power your weapon, sure.
Cameron Scott
But the axe attacks are way more versatile than just using the phails for the finisher the only part that user needs to keep in mind is the spin is counterclockwise so you need to make sure there's nothing that'll eat the phails Not just there, theres also one in the 3rd hit of the sns finisher, the spinning slash, and the attack after the sliding slash in world
Zachary Perez
They're versatile yeah, for getting in quick and strong hits if the openings aren't huge. Completely forgot about the 3rd hit and the sliding slash too.
There are a lot of nuances to CB to get, didn't even think about knocking monsters out of the air with delayed bursts.
Benjamin Butler
But they're all technically the same move, a spinning slash
its my personal favorite I really wish that had killed him
Alexander Kelly
That's true too. Never really used the slide though. Very rarely to reposition
Really need to start using it more.
Levi Bell
I think he meant boil. Lobsters are boiled alive, which would normally be seen as inhumane and savage, but since it's pretty common in America nobody cares. I don't get the logic, but that's generally how normalfags work, not that I wouldn't eat a boiled lobster or anything.
Cameron Morgan
*4U/G have many more and better looking armor sets than MHW will ever have, I'm kind of let down*
Jonathan Brooks
Weapons too. Sadly my biggest gripe with World. There are SOME cool armor sets, though, but for the most part I see people wearing similar sets.
Isaac Nelson
well for starters there are more monsters, two versions of most sets and often different versions per rank AND they didnt stick to any "muh realism" kind of bullshit.
Joshua Myers
I've personally never boiled lobster alive and always thought it was a myth due to steam whistling past their joints sounding almost like a scream
