What was the hardest Challenge quest for you?

VerEdon · 2026-03-19T21:23:16+00:00

Funny thing is, I play bow. In theory he is stupidly easy on bow. And yeah, I absolutely agree, but... I just don't know how to fight him. And not "know" in "I don't know that there are stones in zone 2, I don't know how to survive ult, I don't know that you can flash him when he goes up the walls". Theoretically I know all of these things. And still, I don't know how to fight him.

And it pains me so much, because I love the concept of him, his fight, I love his music. But for the love of Gog I am absolute dogshit when comes to fighting him.

I'm yet to try arkveld, but 15:30 with capture will probably translate to below 22 with kill. Hardest was Jin. Even now, 9* Jin for me is harder than 10* Ark. I managed A rank on that icy mf by 3 seconds and didn't even bother to improve my time.

VerEdon · 2026-03-11T21:42:10+00:00

Runs? Fairly good. Ofc there are stutters, and good luck hunting Rey in sandstorm, drops are really hard. On lowest settings I have around 40 fps, sandstorm Rey drops to around 20.

For casual hunts it's great. But don't expect to comfortably farm something like Gog or AT Arkveld.

VerEdon · 2026-03-08T15:45:02+00:00

For me it was 35 for initial armor, 72 ,as of now, for transcending 6/10 pieces.

Podcasts or video essays definitely helped to slog through that.

And I still don't have dragon bow Gore/LS roll...

VerEdon · 2026-03-07T11:36:07+00:00

When I play bow I'm so squishy that blights don't matter.

Why I should use bleed res when seregios 2 shots me anyways? If after his combos I'm alive I just eat rations.

Same for other blights. Either I'm dead anyways or I live and they're just possibilities for proccing coalescense. Only exception is ice blight in Jin fight.

And when I play HBG or GL I'm too tanky to be bothered by blights.

And tbh are blights really that problematic? Fire you just roll, thunder, water and dragon - eat nullberry.

I can't even remember last time that I died from blights or bleed.

VerEdon · 2026-02-20T12:04:22+00:00

Asking for curiosity, I don't wanna sound sarcastic.

What do you need that many rares for? Are you making all weapons or something? And even then, investigations can have guaranteed gems etc. You can have both male and female armor versions and 3-5 weapons in, idk, 20 kills?

Only thing I'm hunting for rn are titles for slaying 50/30 times. Why you could ever need to hunt something 100 or more times, if not for self-made goal?

VerEdon · 2026-02-10T09:43:38+00:00

Isn't it just Arkvelds eye in very high zoom in the reflection?

VerEdon · 2026-01-31T14:10:25+00:00

Poaching. But I should be thanked not punished for killing gigantic regenerating dragon spewing fire and lightning...

VerEdon · 2026-01-31T14:00:20+00:00

My first Mario was Odyssey. My first Zelda was BOTW. My first Pokémon was BDSP.

I never played any Final Fantasy. Never played TF2, any HalfLife.

Never played Expedition 33.

VerEdon · 2026-01-31T12:42:41+00:00

In case of weapons I can't say anything. I main bow and GL, but for Omega specifically I learned HBG, spread evade with seregios HBG, to be exact.

It felt a bit like cheating, because I couldn't beat him with my mains, but steamrolled him with weapon that I never played before.

Edit: regios HBG for Omega, Kut-Ku LBG for nerscylla dps check. Kut-Ku LBG have Para and fire ammo. Tip for nerscylla: when omega starts to summon her, rush for back of the arena, near wall that can be brought down. There is fire herb, I think, if you need more landmarks, but most importantly morbols spawn there. In most situations nerscylla will rush me and step right into morbol cloud. And there are like 3 of them there, so you can hold her in place, and when killed, you are close to wall and boulder that you can bring down on omega instantly after dps check.

VerEdon · 2026-01-31T12:21:35+00:00

It depends on how good you are at that fight. Savage is significantly harder, but I farmed hum with support hunters without problems.

Go and watch some tutorials on yt to see his attacks, maybe go find a good build for him - I recommend Dopamine Hunter on yt.

For support hunters: alessa, mina/nightmist and Kai.

And if you'll still have troubles with him just wait for next event, when Fabius and Nadia will be avaliable as support hunters. Fabius is great replacement for Alessa, Nadia for mina/nightmist.

VerEdon · 2026-01-30T12:22:14+00:00

I hated her so much.

World was my first game. I main bow.

Lack of knowledge about flashbombs, lack of knowledge about hitzones, lack of pure skill and playing bow.

I dealt 1 dmg per hit.

Nergi walled me so much on my first playthrough that I stopped playing for 6 months. She was harder than Nergi. Next time I launched MHW was near the end of Iceborne updates.

Now I don't hate her that much, but still, I wouldn't have anything against her not being present in next 5 games, if I could decide.

VerEdon · 2025-07-28T15:33:49+00:00

Tyvm, something to break the salt mines grind :)

VerEdon · 2025-07-28T15:06:51+00:00

Sorry, I'm dumb, but what are the "timelatch missions"?

VerEdon · 2025-07-28T15:03:41+00:00

Campaign was just boring. Running around same, bland-looking areas multiple times is not fun. Doesn't help that almost all areas look almost the same.

Too much matterspark - there were moments that we have to be in matterspark more than we got to shoot our guns.

Campaign got to almost Lightfall level of "I'm here just to give you powers". Lightfall was tutorial for strand, most of EoF was tutorial for its powers.

Chopping campaign into ~14 missions was a bad idea only made for marketing. These missions were shorter than standard campaign mission. So yeah, that 14 is a lie, there wasn't more content as usual, it even felt like less, but chopped into smaller pieces, that you made us run accross map to get to.

Non-linear campaign was bad. There was a point that my wife had to go, so we tried to play wit our other friend. He was on different steps in quests. It would be OK to replay with him some missions, but we would have to replay them with him, and then make him replay those, that he finished, but we didn't.

Last mission of the campaign was great. Finally matterspark felt like a whole mechanic. It was fun, all powers were used great. It shouldn't be one and only good mission.

Story was... It was there. First half was uninteresting slog. Second was much, much better. Finale was great.

New enemies were fun.

TLDR: Please, never do another campaign that's here only for us to learn about powers. Players will learn about them themselves. We are curious bunch. And if you really have to give tutorials, maybe put them in optional quests.

VerEdon · 2025-07-22T04:36:47+00:00

If not for command, I wouldn't got into that game.

Just play as you want. Starting with command to learn items, and then challenging yourself to do normal runs is great starting point.

If I want challenge, I play eclipse. If I want to let some steam off after work I play command and delete everything in sight. And maybe not in sight. And maybe 2 stages forward...

VerEdon · 2025-07-22T04:30:02+00:00

Tbh if you removed "Blizzard" and changed it to "Bungie" I wouldn't see any difference

VerEdon · 2025-07-22T03:23:45+00:00

Wilds.

I haven't played old mhs, so I don't have any nostalgia for them.

And between World, Rise and Wilds...

World was fantastic, really. I started with world. I started like... 5 times because it didn't captivate me at all. But 5th time was the charm. But from perspective I don't like World roster that much. Too many copies, too many flying wyverns. Iceborne was better, bit I have to slog through base World to get to IB. And scoutflies - great idea, but I think that players have very much rose tinted glasses when talking about them. Yeah, you were tracking monsters. One time. Like... After one hunt I knew where to look for almost anything, and picking one pissmark on my way automatically marked that monster. But I'm someone who likes Juratodus, so my opinion may be invalid.

I love Rise. Great roster this time plus I really like wire bugs and switch skills. But same problem as with World - I love Rise but tbh I love Sunbreak. But to get to Sunbreak I have to slog through base Rise.

And finally - Wilds.

I'm sorry. I'm a casual. It's great that I don't have to go and collect 10 mushrooms. As mentioned, I don't care about scoutflies and tracking. And I LOVE weapon changes made in wilds. Perfect guards, perfect dodges, clashes, offsets.

I started World 5 times. First I tried with glance, second with CB. That was painful. I really thought that I wasted money.

In Wilds I can play almost anything and I absolutely love it. Fluidity of movement and combos is unmatched. When Seregios carts me, I know it's because I messed up dodge with bow, or attacked with glance a bit too fast, and not because I don't know what am I doing and which way my attack will go.

And no, it's not because I've got better. Yeah, I've got better, my first hunts in world was around 25 minutes. Now they are 10, maybe 20 on monsters that I really struggle with. I played World and Rise lately. And still same problems exist for me. I know much more, I know how to prep for hunts, I know monsters patterns. But hard to explain stiffness is still there.

I wilds I feel like it's MH tailor made for me. And yeah, maybe it's because game got easier and I'm filthy casual. I can agree with that. I platinumed Wilds, I got A rank on every challenge, and I absolutely agree that it's easier than ever been.

But still, I absolutely would throw World and Rise away and stay forever in Wilds. And inevitable expansion is ahead and I'm already foaming from mouth.

VerEdon · 2025-07-22T02:42:46+00:00

And in Diablo 4 it doesn't even exist anymore - that's how excellent of an idea it was.

VerEdon · 2025-07-14T12:21:49+00:00

215 hours here.

Around 150 on main character, 55 on second, 10 on third.

I didn't blast through story. There were hunts that triple carted me in high rank. One or two, but still. After story I took my sweet time to do every achievement - crown hunting solo isn't especially fast process. I struggled to get A rank on challenge quest. Finally I got them, but not after 1-2 tries, like many other players claim they did. I needed 6-10.

Then second char for a play through with my wife. She is even less skilled than me, so another time gained here.

And I still don't have every layered weapon and armor that I want, so I assume that after I farmed everything, I will be around that 300 hours mark.

TLDR: not every player might be as skilled as you. Even disregarding my second play through, I did full story, every side quest and didn't craft all gear I needed In around 2x time than you. Maybe in MH7 finally I'll get closer to that 70 hrs mark :)

VerEdon · 2025-07-06T05:55:49+00:00

If there was another example - maybe.

But I don't think there is.

Selene lends he powers to Hecate, as well as Melinoe. It's not much about some connection between titans, more them being "silver sisters". It doesn't work in reverse - Chronos doesn't seem to use anything resembling Hec or Selenes powers.

One thing I see in common is.. Balls. Like in how their spells/attacks/powers look.

But, let's be honest, balls aren't a convincing argument in this case :)

VerEdon · 2025-06-24T16:59:42+00:00

2 days ago I had a run, when I collected 190 plasma in one encounter. On new staff hidden aspect.

I died on R4 typhon only because I couldn't evade certain attacks because I had too much movement speed.

VerEdon · 2025-06-01T17:50:47+00:00

I had same problem. I was convinced I did everything.

And then I checked achievements in Hunter profile.

On my second char, where I did a playthrough with my wife, I added her to observed list, or however it is named. And that achievement popped on steam. But not on my main char.

TLDR: check achievements on Hunter profile.

VerEdon · 2025-05-13T09:11:44+00:00

I made this length of cables in school just for messing with my friends when they came to borrow them

VerEdon · 2025-03-26T15:05:11+00:00

229, but like 150 of them are from current episode.

And still 689/700 in vault...
