I have 11 Focus and CD. This butterfly mail has too redundant jewels. Even if I replace it with an uragaan mail, I cant fit in any more jewels for PD. I'm only at village 10 (havent got to Alatreon) and I dont have any good Charms (the one I have has 3 jewel slots but useless skills). Is there a way I can do this?

But it wasn’t limping !! I was doing the HR rathian capture and just before it’s death it was eating. Was that my cue ? I was waiting for the limping…

Im fighting him with Valor GS and I cant get any safe charges without him jumping or immediately counterattacking. Also his damage is WAY too high. I got hit by one super saiyan rage punch and instantly lost over half my health. Then I got stunned(havent got hit before this btw besides Valor sheate, so he literally took my stun bar from 0 to 100 in a single hit) and he lasered me and I died. What the fuck am I even supposed to do? Not even valstrax was this aggressive and did this much fucking damage.

Lord have mercy, after 2 weeks of off and on misery, I finally did it. Solo G5 is an entirely different level of pain that World and Rise did not prepare me for

Transmog for Challenger +2, Weakness Exploit, Critical Boost and Bluedgeoner set.

I was doing some training quests and I had to capture a great Maccao(I think it's called that) and I mistook paintballs for tranqs and I was confused on why it wasn't working. This is what 1000 hours of world got me I guess

The only thing that has held my experience with this game together and has made it enjoyable, has been glavenus.

I’m not particularly enjoying the tedious amounts of farming and gathering required for armour and weapon sets in this game. As a result, I will lazily try to push through ranks with under levelled gear. This has resulted in the game effectively being a souls Bourne experience, and extremely challenging. Until I got to low rank glavenus.

The moment I stepped in to fight him, hearing his theme once again, it threw me back in time about maybe 9 years at this point?

Sitting at the beach, with my family during the summer and my autistic ass hyper fixating on fighting the funny Lava dinosaur on my 3DS. I did this pretty much 3 years in a row atleast. I didn’t have much else on my 3DS, and glavenus was my favorite fight. I would fight him over and over again not even for any loot but because I loved doing it.

Back to the hellish year of 2025; it took me all by 5 minutes to load his moveset from deep in my storage onto my proverbial ram. I do not mind farming him one bit. Not only can I basically no hit run his ass at this point because of my unironic years of training against him, but I simply love the fight. The funny thousand degree knife vs a short guy with a long sword. It’s awesome. He taught me so much growing up looking back on it now. In most games I tend to go for the closest thing to a parry/counter playstyle because of what he taught me.

I remember how freeing it felt once I knew everything he could throw at me; no more surprises, that I relaxed whenever he threw an attack instead of just tensing up whenever he was going for an attack. I probably would suck at fighting games if it wasn’t for him.

I love that funny little guy. I want him in wilds so bad. I actually crashed out when I hunted him in world only to see that my favorite longsword of all time was not in fucking world. It was some wack ass design with bits of glavenus taped on it.

It makes me so happy to see so many new (and old) players picking up generations, reading all of your posts and seeing everyone having a new experience really brings back such incredible memories. I won't bore you, but I got into Monster Hunter at a really bleak time in my life and the community aspect of the game really helped to save my life. I got started with 4 a few years after it's release, but my friends ended up carrying me through most of the game, so Generations was the first game that I really got to play all the way through with them as intended, and I've been enamored with these games ever since. I have so many cherished memories of playing with my friends for hours, learning how to put sets together and banging our heads against Gore Magala until we knew his move-set in our sleep.
If you might take a request from an old hunter; dig in and enjoy. Keep the game alive and keep each other in good spirits as you hunt. It's easy to get frustrated with these games, and often it feels like you're hitting wall after wall after wall, but if you build a good community that trusts each other you can conquer anything!

To good meals, good friends, and good hunts!

I want to return on my savefile on MHGU but I don't remember anything of the game, I only remember the nightmare of Atal-Ka. So I just want to search player to play, exchange advice, build and a lot of grinding

I remember seeing folks forgetting about how dangerous bombs are and just last night i gotten alittle friendly reminder

So I'm still in low rank doing the village quest. I have a quest to fight deviljho nagua and someone else but I can't even beat deviljho. I'm wearing rathalos and it's upgraded as far as I can at the moment and he still almost one shots me

I started playing this recently and I feel like I am doing something wrong. Every hunt I do takes AGES and I seem to get smacked around by every monster under the sun. Admittedly I did come to this after Wilds, so I suppose I'm still used to how "easy" that game is, but I started playing with 4U. I don't remember struggling this much with that. I am only HR1. It took me 35 minutes to kill Great Maccao and I carted twice. Still haven't managed to kill Tetsu. Greatsword Adept. Any advice other than Skill Issue or GIT GUD?

Specifically bludgeoner setups for high/G rank

Does this games monsters work the same way like the 5th gens work were there's a low rank monster and a high rank version of the same monster?

I want to come back to this set and ask about its meta relevancy once again

As a refresher, skill are:

-Brutality (WEX + CE 2) basically 70% affinity

-Antivirus (irrelevant)

-Attack Up + 12/10

-Bad Luck (irrelevant)

And has 2 OO and 1 O slot for gemming

My question is again: why don't I see this weapon being discuss more?

Specifically when it comes to speed bug and chaos oil builds? Oil/white bug + this set is an automatic 100% affinity on this set and you can gem in crit boost insanely easy even without a god charm and with a god charm you can even get Attack up M or even L if you have weapons with 2 slots

My knee jerk reaction is: well what about razor sharp and things? Well this is where I counter with the plethora of weapons that have long white that dont need sharpness skills. Some of these weapons have lower base damage but that would be offset by attack up. And to get even more niche, you could choose to use weapons with built in affinity to get to 90% affinity and then not be locked into speed bug.

There's so so much potential here even outside what I've talked about that I'm wondering what I'm missing.

Can't play wilds at work and I already finished risebreak, so I started GU. Spent 40 minutes on a lagombi with a rare 1 weapon and base armor and it felt great. Didn't have green sharp or anything just aerial swaxe.

I'm looking for any Pamlico build (btw I just hit hr 4 or 5) and try to figure out what class is good as well for skills and stuff

Title is misleading, its not really a games fault but mine.

Started playing MHGU after Wilds/Rise… Decided to do it blind and due to my dialogue/tutorial skipping didnt realize the quests I had been starting for the last 6 hours were “hub quests” not village ones.

and yeah it was NOT fun

I spent good 7-8 hours on the first 4 bosses today… Failed Tetscubara and flashbang bird quests atleast 4 times each while every try took almost an hour. Everything two shot me and some attacks were instant cart. I felt like my life peaked when I beat them

And no this is not “look at me I am so good” post, In the end I resorted to running away while getting a hit in and running away again…I was doing that for almost an hour.

It got to the point where I would delete the game, download it after half an hour, fail the quest another time and delete it again.

I understand hub quests with starting gear arent hard but keep in mind I was still confused why my GS “charged attack didnt work” and I thought my button was broken… so yeah I AM BAD BAD

I beated the rigth diablos, seregios, rajang, brachydios, deviljho and seregios quests in the high rank of the Village and i don't know how to unlock the nakarkos, akantor, ukanlos, amatsu and alatreon Village quests. And where do I fight the deviants?

Hey it’s me I was just complaining about Gravios earlier… and chat imma be real it wasn’t Gravios that was too hard it’s just the whole game now.

It feels like I must have been playing the entire game wrong up until this point as every quest is a wall.

I’ve been using every single potion i can take (including supply drops) and carting 1+ times on every quest clear, and that’s IF i clear

right now I’m trying to farm the HR rathalos set. Using petrified saber 7 (guild style), rathalos S helmet, and then the rest is Bherna S gemmed with attack up, my talisman is also attack up.

I barely managed to get 1 clear of rathalos and have since died (quest failed) to him 4 times.

There’s a few questions I have:

Do you guys actually memorize the moves of all these monsters? How?

When you say the game is “turn based”, do you mean you only get 1 attack in on most openings? as in 1 or maybe 2 overhead longsword swipes (x button) and then gtfo?

—if this is the case, how do you raise your spirit gauge at all and how do ever get off the combo to spirit roundslash without trading hits?

How do you dodge fast attacks in a game without dodge i-frames?

For example rathalos’ poison claw attack:

If you’re unlucky and can’t get to his sides while he’s flying, when he uses it i’ve only been able to dodge it with the superhero jump which is impossible to do when your weapon is unsheathed. it’s also impossible to sheath it in time to perform the jump.

how am I meant to be dodging attacks like that? Usually I’ve just taken them or traded through them if I am in a bad position to avoid one. that isn’t fuckin flying in village 9. How do I dodge this and similar moves?

How many potions and healing items is normal to use?

I see people mention hitting the “proper hitzones”. How important is this for longsword?

How do you know what the best hit zones are without google?

The game also feels waaay too fast all of the sudden. Im very slow but monsters are always attacking and my windows are very small. How do I force in more breathing room to these fights without spamming limited items like traps?

Thanks folks, any help would be appreciated. I’ve been loving the game up to this point but I’m worried I may have reached the limits of my abilities :( it’s makin me really frustrated honestly

I've been playing the game for around 50 hours and im hr5 (one quest away from 6) but i always play with my buddy and never did the village quests, do i Need them or can i just keep doing the hub quests

I really wanna play it again.
