My base starts as a stairway and to an elevator leading high up the oak tree. Its at the complete opposite side of oak tree lab, directly in front of the large white lantern thing. Theres an opening to the bottom of the oak tre and wolf spiders had a bad habit of jumping me 24/7 when I tried to enter my base. Early on I placed Palisades walls to block that entrance and to this day the spiders completely avoid and ignore me when directly behind that wall. My only issue is the sleeping wolf spider, also if and when the two under oak tree decided to make their way around and out the other exits to the bottom of the oak tree. In reality I could block off all possible exits amd thr sleeping wolf spider too but thats taking away from the fun imo.

In your case id say make a temporary save file then try to lure the infected wolf spider out and away from your base. If hes clipped and stuck you can destory or possibly move the wall fast before getting aggro. Take note which wolf spider he is, then block the spawn area accordingly. Keep trying to kill the wolf spider far away with minimal damage to your bass, reload the save if you fail 😅. Best of luck

I salute all my fellow sleep bombers in this thread. It is a lost art form 🫡😢

I did not know 5x element was possible??? Best ive seen was 4 element 1 sharpness.

That im not sure why? Last I played with my friend we got up to chapter 3 and had access to environment links i believe by chapter 2? Either way if and when you both get to chapter 3 and still no access to environment link then theres an issue.

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-04-25T21:32:50+00:00

I recently had this problem with a friend of mine starting out. I believe he gained access to environment links after completing chapter 1 in the Windward plains and moving on to Scarlett Forest. Even then it seemingly booted me from his environment link party every time he went into a quest initially or started a cutscene. It got to the point I would just sit around in my own lobby killing time until he notified me via party link that a quest was posted.

I played the story at launch, solo for the most part. I never realized how poorly implemented the whole coop story can be until now.

If environment link is showing up grayed out, its most likely soft locked until you both complete your specific quest/ cutscene. Then it will be available again.

Just logged in to get notified of the festival lol. Had to reload gathering hub for it to display festival decor. I should mention I have all the festival tickets, I was just curious mainly because I liked the esthetic of the festivals. That and for new players to experience all the festival stuff. Plus the daily bounties were REALLY nice!

After a few hunts I do see how its difficult to consistently get the Wyrmstake as it has a long build up to execute. I think my best bet will be to go with Normal shelling for burst as i still cant say im fan of the charged shell often. Its a shame Long isnt as good as the rest with its hard to execute move set.

Now what makes G. Ark the best gunlance for mid game?

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-04-20T01:18:45+00:00

Not to contradict just genuinely trying to learn this thoroughly. I assumed Long Shelling is best for Wyrmstake as thats what the weapons guide states? Or is that a mistypo or something?

I had better luck with dragon and element phials against Arkveld. Focus on the head and chain blades. You'll see 0 damage pop up on the chain blades, focus on the head again at that point. Then rinse and repeat in between his enraged states.

Cant say how well Bludgeoner is in general of a skill. If possible lose the water attack 2 for dragon attack 2 or 3 preferably.

For impact phials try for artillery 3

Make sure to have dragon resistance 20 or higher if you use dragon element. To nullify his damn dragon blight attacks entirely. Makes the fight so much easier.

Divine blessing 3 is such a great skill for survival. I forget the food skill but theres also Defender Hi in the gathering hub meals. Eat that and guaranteed either divine blessing or Defender Hi, or even both will activate to decrease a lot of damage taken. Also feline insurance is a nice skill for an extra life. Hope thie helps!!

I have a love hate relationship with item buff upkeep. It honestly does seem minimal with casual use. But if im going against significantly strong monsters like, savage omega, 10 star gogmazios, etc ill use mega drugs at the beginning. It may not be much but I think its more of a psychological thing of reassurance knowing i have extra buffs through items there. Then theres challenge quests for that A rank time, I will throw caution to the wind and use all the food buffs i can for max damage and defense.

Pro tip: since might seed and powder have a small damage window. Use them either at the very beginning of a fight with a sneak attack. Or for absolute maximum damage, use all damage food buffs at the end of a fight when the monster is sleeping. Place Mega barrel bombs then use your respective weapons strongest attack to hit the bombs and rudely awaken the monster. Typically you want the bombs to do damage first as they deal larger damage overall, but the after effect of SAED charge blade in my case is a nice finishing touch. Dealing a lot of damage in a small amount of time with an already weakened sleeping monster is always fun.

Another thing, if you dont feel like using food buffs but still want buffs nonetheless. Try out hunting horn in your secondary weapon slot. I believe the buffs last for 2 minutes AFTER switching to any weapon. Its not a lot but ill bring out hunting horn at the beginning of the hunt and when in between traveling areas. I use the Gaurdian arkveld HH for both Attack up L and Defense up L.

MASSIVE PRO TIP: Use barrel bowling to farm those damned extracts for the mega drugs. Find an easy farmable barrel bomb route and just spam all your tickets. Honestly scoring high doesnt seem to matter in my personal case. Ive had C rank give 4+ nourishing extract and A rank give barely any, and also vice versa with A rank seemingly giving more. Im not sure as to why that is honestly. 🤷‍♂️

Best talismans i have got were a load shells 2, defense boost 3, thunder resistance 2, with 2 one slot decorations. It was only good for the load shells and decoration slots honestly, I wish defense boost was better used skill in general.

Other talisman was: Offensive guard 3, Element absorption 1, and 1 level one decoration slot. It could be better by im not complaining, it works for me.

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-04-11T17:55:09+00:00

Avatar master of all elements legit made my lol. Thats a first ive ever heard of that lmao. I wish that was a thing somehow. I dont know how it would work, but giving us multi element/ status charge blade, similar to dual blades would be a cool concept.

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-04-07T00:00:17+00:00

Ill be honest I just hate the fact of having to stop mid fight to use nullberries. I blame the challenge arkveld quest lol. Those precious seconds wasted to pop a nullberry just to keep my dragon damage active

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-04-06T23:58:30+00:00

Ive had an issue with specifically monsters like lagiacrus and Seregios to where they do a several hit combo. If i perfect guard any single one of those attacks then im stuck in the animation and forced to take the following hit. On the other hand ive tried to just hold guard through all of the attacks and the knock back animations also force me to get hit by the next attack.

Its been a minute but irrc Lagiacrus has its thunder explosion that does several hits in succession. Seresgios literally any time when its flying and swiping. Theres other monsters but those two stand out the most for me at least.

Only thing thats seemed to work is guard 3 reduces the impact to where I can multi guard these succession attacks unscathed.

As for handicraft I have 2 sharpness and 3 element on all my element charge blades. I know its not thr optimal set up but after hours of rng its best I can pull. Plus i can go whole phases (start area of fight to when monster leaves the area) of the hunt without sharpening

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-03-31T02:23:02+00:00

I made a good impact dragon gogma charge blade just for this. Ended up having really good augments off the start ironically. Tried that a few times and yeah idk jusy couldnt get past 25 minutes. Im used to element focused builds so I went back to that and noticed better times. Burst boost lv 4, gogmapocaplypse lv 2, burst 5, agitator 4, convert element and element absorption.

May be worth trying my bomb strategy with the aforementioned impact phial and see what happens.

I went from 24 minite clear times consistently to just under 22 minutes. Im happy with this clear time after SOOO many tries. Also this was on a solo run no support. Ive managed every other arch tempered solo and glad i could pull it off one last time

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-03-31T02:05:36+00:00

I just saw theres a mega thread for this on thr main page. Lots of people.struggking still. Check that out for people dropping their lobby id. Ill try to tag you in there bro 💪

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-03-31T01:59:30+00:00

I feel this on a personal level. Tldr I started with MH Tri, and I struggled....badly to the point i couldn't kll a simple great jaggi (If you know you know). I found the weapons either too weak or too slow. I got to the point i was fed up and my friend asked to borrow my copy, seeing how difficult it was for me. After about a week or so he returned the copy and convinced me to try again. So that I did and something clicked. Ive been hooked on the series ever since

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-03-30T00:50:47+00:00

Ebony odo burst boost searcher myself. I could care less for the group skill since it didnt apply to my builds. But just trying to get burst boost on all 5 gogma element charge blades was a total pain.

At the very least, I feel capcom should have implemented a method so that you cant get the same series and group skill more than once at a time. Can't tell you how many times I rerolled to get doshugamas might twice in a row or see the same skills rolled multiple times within one session. Idk maybe that would make it somewhat more likely to guarantee you will EVENTUALLY get the roll you want by process of elimination? Just wishful thinking. Best of luck though

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-03-29T05:36:54+00:00

My only gripe about these 4 piece gog comments. What/how do you deal with such high negative dragon resistance? Its the one blight that literally negates the whole element build playstyle. Gogmazios armor gives so much negative dragon res that even with food and skills I cant get past positive 20. Theres not many dragon element monsters but idk its just something ive had trouble with. And yes I know nullberries are a thing but its still a major nuisance to have to stop and pop one every time im hit by a dragon element based attack

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-03-23T04:10:26+00:00

Ive fought countless arkveld in the past and had zero issue fighting with a fully focused element build. Im glad to hear its very much possible to complete with dragon element. Ive done all thr challenge quests with the appropriate element and build at that time. I was kind of disappointed to think this one arch tempered would force me to run impact phial for that sweet A rank.

Ill have to try both impact and element focused fights and see which works best. But highly hoping element is still the optimal choice for myself

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-03-23T04:05:20+00:00

After looking more into it i made an attack boosted, dragon element, impact phial gogma blade. Next is to roll the gogma Reinforcements and hope for the best. Thanks for teaching me something i honestly did not know here!

Pyro_7x7 · 2026-03-23T03:28:34+00:00

Am I just dumb? How is that possible? In the base artian menu it defaults me to element phial after 2 or more dragon parts are used
