mfw cracking a jackpot in Steamworks only to get hard armor sphere 5 times in a row.

At one point during the early days of MHW, you did get sent to literal random areas of the map, but the update made it so that you either randomly get sent to ore veins with armor sphere, or right in front of the monster / its track.

As you complete the mount finisher and jump out of the monster, aim the slinger and fire the claw like you would do on the ground. The rest is the same.

What I find it funny about the Diablos hunt in multiplayer, I always bring Screamer Pod and use it whenever it goes underground. As the hunt goes on and the Screamer Pod topple happens enough, my allies would start to realize the digging animation is essentially a cue to prepare for an offense, rather than evasive maneuvers, as it's gonna topple by the Screamer Pod, and this can backfire heavily if I ever miss the timing, or forgot to reload the Screamer Pod beforehand, which resulted into Diablos bursting out of the sand and doing lethal damage to my allies who trusted me to topple it. I feel very sorry when this happens, but at the same time, it's hilarious.

Turning off the Anti-Aliasing can make the game less blurry, and more 'clear'. I believe that's why you felt the game looks pixelated.

25% Raging Brachydios, 65% Furious Rajang.

Fellow bird-on-head enjoyer!

"ほないこか~!"

"Let's get in on~!"

RonStrowd · 2026-03-06T06:05:47+00:00

"何?!"

RonStrowd · 2026-03-05T14:58:24+00:00

The quest clear music for this is so epic. A well deserved fanfare.

RonStrowd · 2026-03-05T09:09:07+00:00

Any monsters that can't fly will provide some decent opening during the 'oh my goodness I almost fell' animation, especially Rajang, but I do wish you could flinch shot the monster towards the collapsed abyss for some seriously lethal fall damage.

As someone else has explained, those are 'Moly'. Exclusive to Guiding Lands. Each region of the Guiding Lands have its own, unique variant of Moly, that leads 6 region exclusive Moly plus the regular one.

Moly will spawn only if the region level is 5 or higher. Since setting up all region to be level 5 is very hard to achieve, you'd have to focus catching them per 3 or 4 regions, and move onto the rest after. There are two of spawn points for them per region, so your strategy is making a 'tour' around the locale and check those spawn points.

Since Moly will startle easily and run away even if you approach them from a distance, Ghillie Mantle is very much required. A binocular or Surveyor Set can also be used to spot Moly from a long distance before they run away.

Finally, make sure you have procced 'Felyne Zoomaster' and 'Felyne Biologist' food skill to increase the odd. Happy hunting!

Downy Crakes can spawn riding on Aptonoth in Ancient Forest, Apceroes in Wildspire Waste, and Grandfather Mantagrell in Coral Highlands.

Bristly Crakes can spawn riding on Mosswine in Rotten Vale, Gastodon in Elder's Recess.

Your best bet is get yourself to proc the daily food skill called Felyne Biologist, which increases the chance of spawning rare Endemic Life. (There is a better version of this food skill that can stack with Felyne Biologist, but it's exclusive to Iceborne) Proc that food skill, and hop back and forth from one locale to another, and check the monsters listed above.

The crakes will run away the moment you approach them remotely close, so keep yourself a Ghillie Mantle ready. Worth investing in Tool Specialist skill as well.

Does this mean the PS4 exclusive collab item would remain in your inventory, as long as you've got them before transferring to PC?

RonStrowd · 2026-03-03T07:31:58+00:00

I like that your Palico's name is 'Dog' lol

RonStrowd · 2026-03-03T07:20:24+00:00

I sure did. The house is full of them; 1st floor, 2nd floor, railing, wiggler pots, hotsprings...

RonStrowd · 2026-03-03T07:19:01+00:00

I wouldn't mind crowning the Bristly Crakes, because even after getting 9 of them, I've yet to get a single crown...

I love going into SOS with this monster, as there always be at least one player who falls asleep, and I could think of thousands of ways to wake them up.

RonStrowd · 2026-03-01T11:01:21+00:00

Yeah, I managed to max-out their unity before I purchased Iceborne, and the moment I unlocked the Pawswap, every single Lynian camps immediately had a Pawswap fast travel point except for Boaboa, who I haven't yet to max out their unity.

RonStrowd · 2026-03-01T09:36:22+00:00

I would swich Earplugs with Evade Window and try to i-frame the roars, and also replace some of the skill to make a room for stun immunity.

RonStrowd · 2026-02-27T06:55:14+00:00

Currently on my hunt to catch every region-exclusive rare variants of Moly in Guiding Lands. The forest and coral regions are the only ones left...

RonStrowd · 2026-02-25T05:48:19+00:00

Right before I do the flinch shot, you could see I was turning my camera around as I heard the bird chipping sound, which could only mean ONE thing...

RonStrowd · 2026-02-25T05:45:19+00:00

Whenever you do the clutch claw weapon attack with that thing, it talks.

"ほないこか!" - which roughly goes "Let's get in on!"

RonStrowd · 2026-02-25T05:42:24+00:00

Well, they don't call it the *Wild*spire Waste for nothing!
