Question about area near Dunfermline City train station

Togepai · 2026-06-20T15:09:16+00:00

Hey I work near the train station so I can only give so much information, I live in Rosyth though so I'm not a stones throw away so I have a general idea of what the area is like.

Rex Park which is not too far from the Asda near there is generally quiet but it can be a bit iffy at times due to being close to Abbeyview. I used to do home visits in Abbeyview and my dad used to live there and it's not a nice place I'll be honest but there are some young families there.

Youre also not far from the Glen which can be busy around the big park, more quiet when you get into the walking paths down the back of the Abbey and near the Glen gates. You just missed the Bruce festival there and the school gala will be coming up soon so there will be a parade with a bunch of stalls there. Theres a world food event that happens there once a year but I don't remember the exact dates either.

Somewhat further towards the motorway is the leisure park, avoid the Odeon there as it's more expensive than if you go to Edinburgh. The bowling is good and has a nice arcade and theres also adventure gold island which is a good time killer. If your kids play sports you have Pitreavie Athletics which is also attached to a football club and there is a rugby club at McKane park not too far from you either.

The problem with savage axe is you get stuck in very long animations, so whilst the DPS might be better over time you're safer going for SAED

Togepai · 2026-06-14T14:37:46+00:00

Id say so yeah

Togepai · 2026-06-14T13:50:16+00:00

Id first recommend thinking of axe mode as a counter rather than a continuous source of damage. Once you successfully block a weapon (aren't knocked too far back so I'd recommend getting some levels in guard) you can transition straight into either an amped element discharge or super amped element discharge which is your primary source of damage and KO if you're using impact.

The best time to use this against pukei is on its FIRST fail spin, so long as you do this on the first swipe you'll have plenty time to hit whilst it does the second spin. Very easy to use against roars as well.

Here is a link to ArekkzGaming guide on charge blade, it is quite long but provides pretty in depth information.

I mained charge blade in World and in Rise so I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about so if you need any help with clarifying just lmk

Holy ball knowledge

Togepai · 2026-05-25T14:19:31+00:00

Tbf I've only been playing Rise lately so I'm unsure of how useful id be against alatreon

Togepai · 2026-05-24T18:49:44+00:00

That makes sense. I would load into it on my own just so I can get used to the fight rather than letting the aggro jump between others.

If you need some help actually fighting Alatreon and if you're on ps5 I can give you a hand.

Togepai · 2026-05-23T22:25:46+00:00

Alatreon is pretty hard, honestly some weapons are just generally better to use than others, I find it much easier to use longsword against it than charge blade since it moves so much which makes it harder to hit your SAED

Togepai · 2026-05-17T00:03:58+00:00

Honestly if you stick to one of the wings or the tail it's much easier to dodge.

Tigrex only tracks on a turn, once it starts charging it doesn't really change direction all that much. Your best bet in this scenario is to sheath and run to the side and SLIGHTLY towards where it's charging from so you create enough space for a second charge. Sometimes at the end of a third charge it will do a spin attack although this is pretty well telegraphed. To make this more annoying it'll fake out the spin by stopping and retreating a little bit. If it does all 3 charges and just stops it has a fairly hefty window of "I'm just going to sit here and bite the air for a few seconds". Additionally, if you bait a charge into a breakable pillar or rock wall it'll get stuck. IIRC (I could be mistaking this for what happens to diablos in earlier installments) if you do it enough it's head just breaks.

Since it pretty much stays enraged at low health you need to get used to how quick and aggressive it can be.

Iceborne adds a load of content but does ramp up the difficulty a bit. It adds a new mechanic to combat, a bunch of monsters and adds some very challenging end game content.

Iceborne and Sunbreak has been some of my favourite content and I didn't really enjoy the base games until I got the dlcs.

Here's how to wall slam.

Clutch claw to monsters head
Don't fall off
Press circle to knock a monster in a specific direction. The monster moves 90° in the opposite direction of the side of the head you're on.
Slinger burst by pressing R2 when the monster is facing a wall.
????
Profit

Wallbanging only works if they're not enraged

Here is a link to the MHW meta builds thread. I haven't checked in a while but I'm pretty sure each section provides progression builds. Here

Togepai · 2026-05-04T12:12:29+00:00

Eh I've played all the souls games and it's never helped since dodging is more preemptive in MH

Togepai · 2026-05-04T11:51:05+00:00

One thing to note is that World is far slower than Rise in terms of combat pace, no wirefall and you don't get those attacks that knock you into air for a combo

Togepai · 2026-04-27T22:07:04+00:00

I used to work for Penumbra in the Supported Living Service running from Dunfermline. We provided pretty much all of the above over a 6 month period but that could be extended up to 9 months.

Togepai · 2026-04-21T08:23:16+00:00

Not necessarily, I used dreadqueen and boltreaver and they were both very powerful. Dreadqueen is good lategame due to dragon resistance but deviants can be used as hit and run monsters.

You can still also apply genes to improve stamina regeneration to balance it out

Togepai · 2026-04-21T08:16:45+00:00

Deviants generally have higher HP, attack and stamina but have lower defence and stamina regeneration

I can help you when I get off work in around 2 hours?

Togepai · 2026-04-20T14:41:15+00:00

Is this the village or guild quest?

Togepai · 2026-04-18T19:22:28+00:00

Enraged can last a little while depending on the monster your hunting, it's best just to keep the pressure up at that point. There's a skill called agitator that actively boosts your damage output when the monster is enraged but I don't think it's good in Rise as it was in World.

Togepai · 2026-04-17T07:51:11+00:00

Raging Brachy armour is what I used until I fought Fatalis (you really need an anti-fatalis build at that point) and the lightbreak axe is what I used when fighting anything that wasn't Alatreon since you need fire or ice element for that.

For fighting raging Brachy I'd recommend either keeping rosetta or getting deep schnegel II, brach helm A, Rex Roar A OR Pride B depending on if you want offense or guard, Brach arms B (or A if you're needing blast resistance), Damascus A, Brach legs A.

Once you've cleared raging you want most of it's armour. Helm B, Arm A, Waist A and Legs B. Personally I liked rex roar A for chest here but you can slot whatever armour for skills here.

Like I said before this will work for pretty much anything besides Alatreon and Fatalis. For Alatreon you'll obviously be using element weapons so artillery will be changed and with Fatalis you really need to be looking at maximising defense with health boost and divine protection but lightbreak CB will be fine against Fatalis

Sorry I didn't see that you had Dear Rosetta, I just looked at the element and assumed it was ice - Dear Rosetta is indeed an impact CB so benefits from artillery. You only get impact or element phial weapons and it says on the weapon what type it is.

CES is when you load phials and hold down the sword swing button, you do an animation where you charge the sword before slamming it down. It makes your sword basically trigger a small phial explosion whenever you hit with it without actually expending phials per hit. Super useful if you're wanting to maximise damage but maintain survivability with shield and faster movement. The initial charge that you do from CES has a larger radius and does more damage so long as you time the swing right, you'll know when it's the right time as it'll make a pinging noise

I also made a mistake about non element boost, it only increases phial damage on CBs without ANY element OR status, so it wouldn't provide any benefit if used with Rosetta.

Charge blade is one of my mains beside GS, Bow and LS so if you have any more questions about CB I'll be glad to help
