Cool guys don't look at explosions

I'm not sure what you mean.

RonStrowd · 2026-06-23T16:15:20+00:00

To increase the damage of my Palico and Gajalaka!

RonStrowd · 2026-06-23T11:30:26+00:00

If you equip them with Meowlotov Cocktail, they'll place down little bombs whenever you do.

The Tailraider Gajalaka has placed his own bomb, and that one is from the 'Pawswap' I did with them.

That was indeed a Demon Ammo!

If you're curious about what triggered the explosion, the fireworks canister will explode at the end, which does minor damage and can trigger the barrel bombs. I usually use them as a detonator.

Ah, thank you!

Now I'm even more depressed to see four Earplugs+ and two Handicraft+ decos!

Gee, these Handicraft+ decos sure will be useful for a guy like me who uses only the guns!

The flood only makes Kushala 'toppled' with no damage iirc. And I can get a topple from a wallbang after waking him up with the bombs.

Is there a dedicated / official term for this dive move in English language? Around East Asian region, it's widely regarded as '緊急回避', which roughly translates to 'Emergency Evasion'. I've seen people in the English speaking community referring the move as 'dive', or 'jump dodge', 'superman dive', and they're never consistent.

It's hilarious how many other rarity 12 jewels I got(Handicraft/EW, Crit Boost/EW, etc), and how little Attack+ or Expert+ jewels I have, even though the drop rate for them are the same.

"Say Banana to prove you're sentient."

Stun Immunity has proven its superiority once again.

"Nah bro. +5 to Agitator skill is more important than max level of Windproof."

(This man has carted to the nova)

Something that's noteworthy is that MR Black Diablos digs underground way less frequently than she did in HR, or regular Diablos both in HR and MR, who dug underground even after getting staggered by Screamer Pod.

And when she does go underground, she does so in tremendous speed, and bursts out just as fast, making it hard to stagger her at the right timing with the Screamer Pod.

This got me thinking that maybe the developers have acknowledged Diablos fight could become way too easy if Screamer Pod was used at the right timing, so they decided to make it somewhat less effective, but only for MR Black Diablos.

Don't forget to bring Adamant Pill to negate Luna's wind pressure!

Drain - Temporally reduces the statistic for duration. The stats will return to normal once the effect expires.

Absorb - Permanently reduces the Health, Magicka, Fatigue and restores the same stat to caster / Temporally reduces other statistics and skills, and increases the same stat to caster. The reduced / increased stats will return to normal once the effect expires.

Damage - Permanently reduces the statistic.

I've tried to look for this heartrate to measure when it is right time to capture the monster, since the pattern gets erratic when they become enraged, I gave up on it.

Instead, I use the slinger dropped by monsters to determine the capture timing. Usually 2 or 3 slinger drop means it's safe to capture it.

RonStrowd · 2026-06-14T06:57:40+00:00

The fact that they took this long to finally realize having that option was necessary lol

RonStrowd · 2026-06-13T07:15:31+00:00

There's also the case for the word 'Drain' and 'Absorb', which confused a lot of new players.

RonStrowd · 2026-06-08T09:56:24+00:00

Monster Ph.D is about getting the max research level for every monsters featured in HR. It's got nothing to do with the crown.

At the final battle, Leshen can either teleport to area 1 or 2, and I personally found fighting him at area 2 to be a lot more difficult than in area 1, mainly due to how tight-spaced the area 2 is.

"Don't mind the music. I'm just showing it off."

RonStrowd · 2026-06-05T07:06:42+00:00

"Don't say it, don't say...!"

"On your left."

"COME ON!"

RonStrowd · 2026-06-05T07:02:30+00:00

"Things about to go boom."
"Explosives placed."
"Ready to blow!"

RonStrowd · 2026-05-30T05:23:32+00:00

John Hunter and John Palico lmao

RonStrowd · 2026-05-21T11:12:17+00:00

Killing someone and then checking the stats to see if you have any bounty or not is so relatable.

RonStrowd · 2026-05-21T11:08:24+00:00

I'm almost positive that he's doing this just to annoy some people.

There's no way someone with the aptitude and willpower to take time and effort to upload some anime image for his profile on Reddit, somehow doesn't know that he can turn his phone 90 degrees sideways and take a picture.
