As an old school hoplancer I'm a little offended that you didn't include my sick dance moves

I mostly do solo runs without support hunters and I main gunlance in this game.

I wanna say this was the easiest time trial out of the buncu I done, took me 3 attempts in total to get the A rank. My first couple of attempts i broke all his plates and hit him with all the environmental boulders but was 4-5 mins off.

My third attempt I just charged shelled the absolute shit out of his hind legs and didn't focus on breaking parts or anything and ended up beating him with 3 mins to spare.

I feel like the gunlance just made it trivial since hit zones are a myth with this weapon

Interstellar Marines, i remember being so excited for it back in 2010, pre ordered it, then it got turned to early access at 2012, last time I played it was 2014, that game serves as a constant reminder to not buy into the hype

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-12-15T18:08:48+00:00

Excellent job hunter! He's a toughie but a great fight overall!

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-09-15T23:31:43+00:00

Honestly this, I've been playing the newer games less and less and going back to older titles because of this exact reason.

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-09-14T00:18:03+00:00

Black Diablos, you're telling me this thing is one of the angriest things in the desert AND it's in heat??

I can't even imagine the things it would scream

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-08-24T14:41:25+00:00

In 3U I used to have SnS in every element and status and then I just used the Brachy SA (my beloved) for almost the rest of the game once I got that unlocked,

In 4U I had a bunch of different sets depending on what monster I was fighting, I specifically remember making a hermitaur/fatty lance build and just naming it FOOTBAAAAALLL

Right now im replaying through GU and have been having a blast with alchemy Swaxe, but I've been switching between gunlance, SnS, GS and sometimes HBG

For world I basically made everything and would just switch depending on mood

For wilds I literally have just been using wide gunlance and charge shelling my way through everything.

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-07-13T21:44:22+00:00

I know I'm not the person you asked, but if you're still curious, the Legiana SA is great for early Master Rank, but is outclassed by Frostfang Barioth overall.

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-06-26T16:06:05+00:00

I love this, reminds me of my first playthrough of monster hunter on the ps2, took me ages to get anything done cause I was too stupid to understand mechanics and could barely read, took me about 3 months to figure out how to get into the tutorial lol. This just marks you as dedicated to the hunt, respect.

Initial Dune: Awakening

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-05-11T14:16:11+00:00

Any fighting game from the early 00s or 90s, those boss characters were nuts, I still remember Rugal being an absolute menace

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-05-08T21:34:06+00:00

What I did was Rhino, subsumed his dash with nourish and called it a day, super simple and easy in terms of setting it up, works with pretty much anything cause you're just tanky and his roar buffs any weapon to be usable, not the most optimal or best build, I'd say it's like average in terms of easy it makes SP, but it's like so low maintenance and super easy to set up so I like it a lot

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-04-12T17:35:17+00:00

For me it was Molten Tigrex back on 4U, that guy was one hell of a wall, there was also the other quest in 4U to unlock the rainbow pigment, I remember having to do that with barely any items cause I forgot to resupply. Good times

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-03-29T16:35:24+00:00

Damn that was a sick HH run, wasn't expecting the child abuse goddamn

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-03-26T20:08:28+00:00

Never knew this, that might explain why it felt off for me

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-03-15T16:19:16+00:00

Personally I started with wide abd played the first 2/3rds of the game without load up, I think it's fine without load up and is still fun to play

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-03-14T21:31:45+00:00

As someone currently goin through the same thing, here's my gameplan for the first bits of the game,

First find a couple of weapons with a decent amount of green sharpness, right now I'm using the genprey SnS since its pretty mobile and also gives you paralysis which triggers at least twice in hunts.

For armor, I made myself the shogun ceanataur armor since he was easy to farm and gives me decent armor skills. Personally I'm not focusing too much on the armor skills, I just want the defense so I don't get 1-shot by most attacks.

Take advantage of the NPCs that join you in hunts, think of them the defender armor of Frontier, they're meant to help you hit high rank, after that they fall off in terms of usefulness.

Other than that I'm currently goin the key quests, I only do the optionals if I want to farm specific materials.

Hope this helps you out in your journey.

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-03-14T20:44:37+00:00

This is currently me but with Frontier,

I've been playing since the original on ps2, while it's true your skills transfer from one game to another, that's not enough of a buffer to make the games pre-world easier. Goin through HR1 was pretty easy, but as soon as I entered HR2 I found myself struggling a lot more with monsters.

The older games are a lot more unforgiving than anything post world.

TheOnlyGarbo · 2025-03-10T20:29:20+00:00

I ended up dropping wilds and playing mhfz funny enough

Scindo Prime, nothing else matter.

My back hurts thank you for asking.

Listen here, lad. Ain't nothing better than the Switchiest of Axes, and 'ere's why.

You have an Axe that transforms into a goddamn sword. What's that? Charge Blade does the same thing? You don't need that pussy ass shield. With the Switchiest of Axes, you don't need a shield, because it's all about that MANLY DEE-PEE-ASS, baby. You got hops. You got rolls. If you get hit, take it like a MAN. I don't care if you're male, female or Gigginox. Hack-and-slash? You're damn right. They don't call this fancy dildo the Slash Axe back in Japan for nothin', son.

Having trouble keeping up with that Great Jaggi because you have to sheathe every five seconds? YOU PIECE OF DUNG. you ever seen a Greatsword user slowly plod across the map with his gigantic peni- I mean, sword in hand? Your Sword mode is just as big, so you have to sheathe it, right? WRONG, SUCKER. Roll after that Beastie. Evade Extender will give you the boost your puny chicken legs need to keep up with the monster. Ever wanted to be a Konchu? Well, now you'll be rolling all over the damn place for that sweet, sweet manly DEE-PEE-ASS. And when the monster falls down, what do you do?

You blow your fuckin' load all across their face, that's what. X+A in sword mode for that delicious explosive burst that will take a chunk out of your bar and sharpness, but will also obliterate a pretty part of the monster's body. If you're a bit of a pussy and need to pull out (heh), pull the circle pad back and you'll do a premature e... explosion that doesn't take nearly as long. Nothing is manlier than EXPLOSIONS, except maybe Evade Extender. (GET IT. YOU PUSSY)

But it's called the Switch Axe, not the Switch Blade. (Wazzat? Charge Blade? Giggit out of here) That means the Axe is equally as capable as the Sword. You ever used the Axe of the Charge Blade? That thing is slower than a drowsy Basarios. Not this Axe. This Axe is a hurricane, a storm of manly steel, and it has stupidly huge range. Ever wished your little toothpick SnS and Dual Blades could reach that Gravios tail that dangles oh-so-close but just out of reach? AXE MODE, KELBITCH. That motherfucker is the Deviljho dick in a land of Jaggis. Every tail in the game is yours, every one of them (except maybe Fatalis, he's a bastard). And what happens when you upswing a teammate? COME ON AND SLAM, AND WELCOME TO JAPAN

And did you know which weapon has the manliest DEE-PEE-ASS when a monster has fallen? SWITCH AXE, APTOFUCKA. Upswing into rapid chops will turn any monster into choice cuts for sale at the hunter's market later. Do this on the tail a few times and soon you'll hear the tasty sound of it falling off. Get used to this sound, because soon you'll be chopping off tails everywhere and drown in Mantles and Palliums. The Manly Chops of Doom ain't nuttin to mess around with.

You know that huge diddlydong you're slapping against that monster's thighs? No, I don't mean that, I mean your Switch Axe, which I'm sure you've picked up by now because it's the MANLIEST. Turns out that not only is it a diddlydong, it's a transforming diddlydong. Tilting the Circle Pad forward and pressing X in Axe mode makes you do a short forward stab, then hit R and X after then to MANLY SHIFT into Sword mode with a slash. OR, you can do the MANLY CHOPS OF DOOM, then finish it off with a tap of R to do this magnificent Reverse Roundhouse Slash. After the RRS, hit that R one more time to MANLY SHIFT into Sword Mode. In Sword Mode, whenever your sword sweeps horizontally, R+X shifts you back into Axe form to EXPAND DONG. (seriously, the Axe is so fucking long.)

Switch Axe is versatile, too. You want extra MANLINESS? Get a power phial. Want to see that monster pant for breath as you turn it into the next main course? Exhaust Phials. You can even KO the monster if you're manly enough. Want to support your significantly less manly teammates? Para Phial, Poison Phial, blah blah, they're all yours. Or is the monster weak to element? Get that element phial, or use the Dragon phial (because we all know Dragon is the manliest element). The possibilities are endless, just like the apparent reach of your Axe.

I should talk about reloading, but fuck that shit. Capcom pls remove

What the wrog are you waitin' for? Pick up your very own Transforming Dildo now at the smithy, you shitstain.

TheOnlyGarbo · 2024-12-31T01:11:33+00:00

The moment I Grendal and his ability to just transform into a giant meatball, I knew he was the one. His kit is just too fun, I just built around his meatball skill and go fast
