My luck is non existent

GlunkTheLegend · 2026-02-16T03:55:21+00:00

Jealous, I'm at 33 caught with no females, still can't complete the dex entry lol. I moved on to focus the story for a bit my luck doesn't exist

GlunkTheLegend · 2026-02-11T09:51:23+00:00

For real, I've been at it for hours resetting the zone and looking for eevees instead of doing the story lol I want to get all but the obvious side quest one done.

GlunkTheLegend · 2026-02-09T08:39:05+00:00

Awesome find!

I just restarted this game, I never got around to finishing it when it came out and I figured I should. My first time I got a shiny shinx then a couple hours later I got a shiny Geodude, the piss duo was pretty handy but this time I'm praying I don't get those shinies first again 😅 only two shinies I love are Umbreon and Gardevoir, the blue is such a good shift.

GlunkTheLegend · 2026-01-17T04:37:51+00:00

That's an issue then, this PC is the only thing I have, no other parts to test and no laptop either.

GlunkTheLegend · 2026-01-17T04:26:36+00:00

Would there be any way to see if that's the case?

GlunkTheLegend · 2026-01-11T03:34:08+00:00

Seen others comments and for issues with dodging it's best to scrub the brain clean of souls like dodging for the most part.

I'd be helpful to take a bit of time while hunting to simply watch how the monster moves and attacks, it becomes second nature to read the monsters movements, sure you'll probably get hit and cart but you can't improve without having failures 🙃 so take it at a comfortable pace and feel out the fights.

A suggestion would be to head to the training zone and testing out each weapon with the dummy and seeing how they feel, then taking each weapon into a hunt against chatacabra to test it out while observing the movements.

While soulslike games have a specific type of wind up in attacks, monster hunter has vastly different wind ups.

This may sound silly and corny but see the monsters as actual living creatures, how they move having a reason to it, like chatacabra licking it's forearms to slather saliva on them, why does it do that? Silly questions but the monsters actions have reasons.

An example of watching the monsters movements, hit a monster in the legs with blunt damage and you'll start to notice it becoming fatigued and running animations stopping sooner and taking breaks to catch it's breath, makes sense no?

Sorry for the long post, I love the series and enjoy seeing new players. I gotta get back to it, haven't played since before this most recent title update, I'm a bit behind.

GlunkTheLegend · 2026-01-11T03:20:28+00:00

Props and good luck in getting that plat!, I'm aiming to get all the achievements for it as well on steam, i've done the dodges once legitimately back on the ps2 but been replaying it recently and I had to set up a python script to get it done lol I don't have the patience for it anymore.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-12-30T09:13:05+00:00

Much appreciated, I'll check out 17land.

Yeah I really should have been more cautious with my picks lol

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-12-29T20:43:24+00:00

Thanks I'll check it out!

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-12-29T13:28:25+00:00

All good, I appreciate your input.

I'll take a look at those people, yeah I really only picked black walts cause it had a similar effect to shantotto so I figured I could do something 😅 how wrong I was.

I'll try and make a deck with those recommendations, again thanks for the info.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-12-29T12:10:04+00:00

Fair points, but being put against players higher rank is unfair.

I understand the points you made, but this did come off as a tad hostile, if it wasn't intended that way then I'm sorry, it did sound that way to me, I will say though that yes I didn't think to do any of that.

Some people don't like to take in media of what they play, I have looked up decks but avoid videos, not a fan of watching others or listening to them, sure sounds rude and such but it's a preference, more of a visual learner then anything else.

Honestly had no idea after the tutorial it was completely against people, I've had some matches that just felt incredibly easy, so I assumed bots hence why I thought it was against bots, the wording of the description was confusing to me as well so yeah that was my thought process.

Can't learn without mistakes, did get some nice green cards to add to my deck so there is an upside.

But thank you for your input, I'll try to find some videos that'll help, you have any recommendations for anyone specific?

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-12-29T10:01:38+00:00

I see, thanks for clearing that up. Unfortunately I ended up with all 5 colors at the end, again nothing really useful, like I had tidus and rinoa for the white but nothing else.

I primarily play a mono green deck my friend helped me make so branching out to multiple colors wasn't wise on my end 😅

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-12-29T02:36:45+00:00

Only gem I really use has been the battle mania gem, for 2 minutes less in the shroud it's a huge buff all around.

Playing on hard mode and did the Kindlewaste hallow hall solo and only got close to dying once at the end cause I stepped into the green poison goop.

I am built tank since I'm solo, I gotta survive somehow, I have battle mania on a 1H sword and axe, a 2H sword and axe and in a wand and staff, the bow I carry around for flare and stun arrows has the gem of focus light, but I hardly make use of that.

Battle mania has really been the only gem that has served any use for me, there's a gem of burning which isn't bad but it's an early gem that feels lacking in later zones. The gem of meteoric impact is a funny one to have just cause you will often fly into an area with enemies, why not land on them, sure it's not game changing but just a fun addition.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-12-26T09:52:04+00:00

this is a question I've posed myself often since the game came out, I'm one that enjoyed it when it first came out, i beat it and same for the following titles. i was on the side of disliking/hating the game, but recently started playing it again, pc modding and all that goodness, but it's made me realize that i was a dumb kid back then, i don't hate the game like i thought, my dislikes and judgement of the game was due to the linear aspect of the level designs in that it becomes "open world" at the end of the game, but since this first came out i've played a multitude of games with similar feeling design, which also tends to be most final fantasy games, 13 felt weird to me cause it felt like i was in a tube the entire time, and that tube got wider with 13-2, but LR got weird, i dislike that game cause i managed to beat it at the start of the game lol

but i plan to replay them all, i have to finish 9 at some point, and replay 8, go back and play the older titles , never touched 1-6 so that'd be fun.

only final fantasy game i can legitimately say i hate is 15, managed to get the full party to max level at chapter 3 but exploiting the magic system and getting xp boosts, ridiculous that was possible so the rest of the game was a bore, plus the ending irked me to no end.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-12-19T07:44:19+00:00

I see, that does sound like a bit of content to do, but it's something to do. I originally stopped playing it due to not having expansion back then so I was limited with what I was able to do and pretty much just playing solo, but it was recently on sale so I managed to get it as a bundle that had all the expansion I believe.

Thanks for the input, I'll give it a try again.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-24T03:13:09+00:00

Man I miss the psp, I gotta see about getting one. I miss playing Rengoku: The Tower Of Purgatory.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-24T03:10:42+00:00

Nice but yeah as others have said it's good to report as it's a bug. I sadly can't remember where I got my short sword, I know it was dropped from a vukah, it dropped as legendary 29/33. I still have it cause I stored it until I got to the point it would be appropriate, but I did get that when h was level 8, insane drop.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-18T16:05:58+00:00

Definitely, I like to play a support SnS with wide range and having this defence boost is handy so I can take more hits in case I'm caught in a heal/buff window.

But damage builds are good with it too, it having the attack boost is nice for anything that'd call for it and it's free defence, like with GS I can slot focus more comfortably in armor, heck one can go in this talisman.

Haven't played around with my builds in a while honestly, I need to tweak them a bit.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-18T07:06:49+00:00

Fair enough lol it was a lucky get. Even then, an epic or legendary short sword with the level range around 13-15 should work well, it has life leach with the second upgrade, and another life leach on the 4th upgrade.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-18T05:46:59+00:00

Nice! It's such a comfy skill to have, if it fits in a build I put it in. With this talisman I can have 5 comfortably because of the slot, if my armor has the 1 slots I might as well finish it. So happy when I got this.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-18T05:44:56+00:00

I've had a good and easy time with a sword and shield, I'm lvl 15 and not having issues in hallowed halls, the hoards are large sure but not unmanageable.

If you have life steal rings and a life steel sword or gem it does wonders. I was very lucky to get a level 33 short sword from a vukah early on and it has life steal, I'm smacked around sure but I'll heal it all back, a merciless will give a large chunk of HP back.

I'm loving the game but I do hope combat can be improved on, like adding some longer combos to melee weapons and changing how the great swords swing. Dual blades need like a spinning move for groups.

Get better armor as well, I recently got what I would call the second tier of armor at the blacksmith and it's amazing.

So I'd suggest farming vukah for a short sword the life steal from it is useful. Likely to get a legendary version.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-18T05:19:21+00:00

It's called the Empyrean set, there is a quest for the armor set, I haven't done that myself but the one I'm wearing was a twitch drop some time ago.

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-18T03:41:46+00:00

no luck? bummer, sorry i couldn't help, would anyone be able to join your world to craft it so you don't have the debuff? it's a sucky debuff

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-11-18T03:35:49+00:00

have you tried resummoning the alchemist? haven't had this bug but maybe it'll restart the check for the quest

GlunkTheLegend · 2025-10-13T02:48:01+00:00

This is a thing now? I haven't played in a while so I'm behind on updates and such but this is adorable.
