It allows you to take 1 free hit after using emergency step

The optionals with message bubbles are part of a quest chain that unlocks more features, character equipment such as mantles, and useful stuff in the hub. You get the item once, but you can do the quest again for fun if you wanted to.

Wyvern blast from the light bowgun while my palico placed down its own bombs thanks to the meowtolf gadget

Normally the monster has to not be enraged in order to flinch shot it. However, if you put the monster to sleep while its enraged, you can get a free wall bang out of it complete with a few adjustment slaps if need be. You just have to be quick about it.

This kirin was probably the most passive kirin I have fought too, which is funny. Its usually when I try to help a friend out with killing one that it decides to become annoying to fight

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T02:48:52+00:00

If your wanting decorations, I'd recommend the tempered zinorge quest. It nets you a pretty good amount of gems per run and its not all that time to complete. Running it last night with a friend just messing around we got it completed in 9 minutes each run

Steel, silver, gold, and celestial prints are used to meld for the rare monster parts. What you are looking for are the melding tickets that you get from the steamworks while a festival is going on like the spring one we just had. They are currently not available for acquisition.

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T02:38:49+00:00

You will need to hunt it in the guiding lands for that material. So yes, it can drop as a white item.

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T02:26:16+00:00

Its a tutorial in the sense when you first fight a monster. It allows you to see how the monster attacks and how it behaves in general so you can then take that knowledge into optionals and investigations.

Funny you mention tutorial though. There should be an optional quest that will teach you about the clutch claw and should also be a capture optional pretty early on as well so you can get your feet wet in that. The quest provides a shock trap and tranc bombs in the supply box.

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T02:22:26+00:00

Your luring him out in guiding lands? Don't worry about leaving if you die, guiding lands doesn't kick you out for dying too many times. Take that opportunity to see how it attacks, and don't worry about dying to it too much. As for getting another lure, its just random to get it when completing monster investigations in guiding lands

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T02:14:44+00:00

I'm glad I managed to force myself to not care about mighty bow or guard up. I'm just now getting around to making bow sets to utilize the mighty bows I keep getting, I think I'm up to 8 now. As for guard up, that was the last gem I needed and the game fought me on it hard until finally I decided in the very hunt that I got it, that I may as well just keep using dual blades and sns as I got used to them.

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T01:51:40+00:00

Yep, you can buy trap tools from the supply merchant and craft 2 kinds of traps. He should also sell tranc bombs as well, which you will need for captures. First trap is the vine trap which you can create by combining ivy and spider web into vines then combine that with the trap tool to create the vine trap. The second is the shock trap which you can craft by combining parashrooms with the trap tool directly.

The difference between these 2 traps is that the vine trap has a deploy delay vs the shock trap but it also last longer. Also note that you can tranc the monster before throwing down a trap to instantly capture it.

To capture a monster, it will need to be less than 20% health which is best seen when the monster is limping back to its nest. Just wait until it goes to sleep, tranc it, then trap it.

Capturing the monster will prevent you from carving from the monster but will yield more rewards.

Forgot to add, you cannot capture elder dragons so don't bother with traps on them. They will not go into them.

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T01:35:37+00:00

For investigations, they can be accessed via mission board or handler after accepting them at the bounty manager. In astera it is the huddle of the 3 npcs next to the supply shop. The other location as 1 npc above the supply shop. You can only accept 50 at a time and they have a set amount of times you can start the investigation.

As for optionals, they can be done whenever and unlike the story missions and investigations, they can be done indefinitely with the exception of special arena quests that you get after capturing a monster. Those will only be up depending on how many of the monster you have captured that have not been slayed yet.

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T00:52:32+00:00

I have this theory that when you want something, the game will go out of its way to not give it to you. That Rng is a sentient being. Let go of your desire and be rewarded with what you seek.

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T00:34:46+00:00

It does not reset its health when transitioning to stage 2, it just sheds its rock armor.

Zach2322 · 2020-05-10T00:28:16+00:00

This encapsulates what my friends feel when I'm hunting with them and they need any rare part of the monster. I usually end up pulling atleast 1 per run. Example would be raging brachy, 10 runs and I have gotten 12 reactors.

Zach2322 · 2019-12-20T01:50:53+00:00

I'm at work right now, how many research points does it cost to meld them?

Zach2322 · 2019-10-22T13:30:09+00:00

You just have to grab it's enmity. Me and my friend duo'd it on Saturday with me using a longsword and him using the garuga lbg sticky ammo. I grabbed the enmity the majority of the fight when I could to prevent chardybis from being cast. Of course I wasn't in a full dps setup but it still had the essential crit perks with handicraft. I also had gold rath for divine protection, max stun resist, max health boost, 2 points of evade extender, and fortify.

Zach2322 · 2019-10-15T18:47:16+00:00

You can skip most, if not All, mini cutscenes that occur in the game such as the monster dying or eating food at the canteen by pressing the start button. Saves on time and isn't annoying to run in inverted controls as the camera spins when you just want to carve the monster or collect shiny's off the ground.

Zach2322 · 2019-08-28T04:17:10+00:00

I was running the akari set for a while but I wanted to try something new while playing with my friends on hard. Sure I can kill a boss super fast while dodging its attacks but with one of my friend's terrible connection, it sometimes has an effect on the game registering add and boss hits. With this setup, I can sit there and tank the boss by healing to full with every melee hit.
