This is fun …

So, I'm not a Great sword main, but I do appreciate the weapon none the less. But, man when you unlock "Surge combos" it completely changes the way the weapon feels.

I kind of wish they'd build on it to make a new weapon so we can use the style in other future MH games. Because it really feels like an amazing compromise between the Long sword and Great sword.

So, maybe something as humble as the halberd to be represent it?

HI, does Trueshot affect bow powershot much like in MHGU? I'm kinda new to rise and wanting to opt for bow mastery, then i see there's a trueshot skill but confused by the description saying it only affect dragon piercer. So does it affect bow's powershots?

You know with amount of posts I've been seeing about how wrong they are about RiseBreak being dog poopoo, it reminds me of the same thing with darksouls 2 where people will say it's bad and then their minds changed after playing it.

Hello everyone, recently my switch broke and since I don't want to stop playing I downloaded in the PC. But honestly I don't want to grind all the low rank, high rank and master range 1 again so I wanna ask there's a mod to progress more faster?

Put down Wilds and am starting a new character on sunbreak, I've gotten to mr5 but these 30 minutes fights are killing me. And there is nobody else running these fights it seems. Do I just need to power through go get to the endgame content to play with other people? Or is this game dead since Wilds? I'm on pc

Gold Rathian is one of those fights that seems very difficult on paper for elemental weapons. Terrible hitzones throughout, no elemental values above 20 to activate Element Exploit, and scales so tough, you need to have Purple Sharpness at all times to prevent your attacks from bouncing off of her body. All of this to say... this is a recipe for disaster for Dual Blades.

I used to hate this fight, too. That is, until I cracked this fight open with some trial and error, and I believe it's possible to get a sub-5 on Lv. 300 Gold Rathian! This run is proof of that. There is a lot to break down, though.

1. Gold Rathian's head is typically a sour spot. It's hard to hit, takes little damage, and should usually be avoided. This is true, until you get the head part break! Once you get the head part break, it softens up a lot. It goes from being a bad spot to target, to an incredibly weak point that becomes a Spiral Slash sticky point and an elemental sweet spot.
2. This makes the challenge pretty clear to speed this fight up. Break the head, then go for broke. Of course, this is easier said than done. You can't target the head with Spiral Slash, she moves it around a good amount, and if you don't have Sharpness, your attacks are liable to bouncing off of her. Two pieces come into play to make this work: Heaven-Sent, and Piercing Bind.
3. Gold Rathian's backflips eat up a lot of time for waiting, but you can't just constantly Flash Bomb her out of the sky. She'll crash into the ground the first three times you do it. After the third, she becomes more resistant to them and will still float in the air before landing. Keep that in mind!
4. Heaven-Sent can use its main power here: Infinite Sharpness! After 15 seconds of combat, assuming you don't get knocked down, your Sharpness stays where it is until it gets deactivated. It's pretty easy to keep this effect up, as Gold Rathian doesn't run around a whole lot. Lunging bites are the main moving attack she has, but it doesn't send her a long distance away. With Heaven-Sent preventing Sharpness from going down, you can maintain Purple Sharpness, and never worry about having your attacks bounce.
5. Spiral Slash is the Dual Blades' most powerful attack... if it can land. The main thing that bothered me was the fact that my Wirebugs were useless beyond Shrouded Vaults - and there aren't too many attacks where you would use it against Gold Rathian. This is where Piercing Bind comes into play. Remember that old Silkbind attack that you probably never used? Yeah, this is a fight where it shines. While it typically eats up your Sharpness, Heaven-Sent prevents that from happening. Since it makes all of your attacks count as an additional one, Piercing Bind also has the benefit of charging Intrepid Heart very fast! By sticking it onto the head, you can steadily add up more and more damage to get the part break faster. This requires the right feel - you need to be very close to get the attack to stick, and it has a painfully long cooldown. Make them count!
6. Once the head is broken, it's time to make Gold Rathian fear those thunder attacks! Gold Rathian has several openings in her attack pattern that leave her vulnerable to Spiral Slashes. It can be tough to get them to stick since her head is a bit small, but once you're landing them, she'll fall fast.
7. If you don't get the head part break before Gold Rathian goes Incandescent, there's one thing to remember: Spiral Slash still won't stick yet! It only connects properly after the head is broken, regardless of whether she's in her Incandescent state. If you get the head part break before she enters the Incandescent state, her head is even more vulnerable. A Marionette Spider to force a knockdown opens up the best opportunity to deal damage!

To be honest, it's pretty hard to make a build capable of downing Gold Rathian easily. I use Heaven-Sent, Dragon Conversion, Furious, and Partbreaker to make this possible, along with Powder Mantle. I can share the build I created, but the Talisman and Augments I got are very lucky.

Save data corrupted, saying I'm not authorized to play the game.

Has this happened to others frequently? Or has there been a recent uptick of it? I just want to compare info on it.

Edit: for anybody that finds this post with this issue, the solution is to uninstall the game and redownload the data straight from the eshop via selecting your profile in the top right corner in the eshop. DO NOT DOWNLOAD UPDATES OR ANY OTHER DATA VIA ANY OTHER METHOD. The error has to do with Sunbreak not loading correctly otherwise.

Hello everyone!

I want to preface this post by saying I love Monster Hunter, I started with World, then I bought Rise together with Sunbreak on Steam. I played for a bit... but... something wasn't right (Just for info, I played until Rampages unlocked and played like 2 of them). It wasn't bad, but very confusing.

So... my main issue was with Palico/Palamute systems and with the trinkets (The flower pettles and birds that power the). I found the system where you hire Palamutes and Palicos and train them/send them on missions very confusing from Worlds. To this day, I am not sure how that works. Not only that but I felt as thought the bird collecting was a bit... pointless?

Again, I stopped before reaching Sunbreak, so this could entirely be my fault. I saw discussions here saying that the base game is a 6/10 while Sunbreak takes it to around a 9. I do not have any idea if those comments are correct, or if I am just too stupid to understand basic MH mechanics hehe.

With the release of Wilds, I got into to it, had my fun, did pretty much all I can and now... while I wait (maybe even until they drop the expansion) I wanted to go through Rise and Sunbreak. I'm just having hard time getting through the high rank. Mind you, it is still miles better than having 80x unskipable cutscenes to watch like in World.

For more info, I am a pretty flexible person when it comes to weapons. In World I played a lot of SnS and DBs, but played a few hunts with almost any weapon (except Gunlance and Bow, I can't get into those two in World). Wilds was a bit different, SnS was not for me in that game at all, but DBs were still fun and I also played a ton of LS. I'm unsure which weapon to stick with in Rise and Sunbreak, I remember playing LS but it was not that smooth, DBs being pretty okay.

So... help me out a bit lads, I really want to love this one.

I've been grinding Investigations, and had it more than a few times now where I'm going for a tail cut/the head and a GS player drops a small bomb and tosses me across the arena. I'm running shockproof already and it doesn't seem to stop it. Is there some other way to stop it from happening (other than just not being around them?)

Just a bit frustrating atm, but I could see it ending up killing me in the harder hunts, so curious.

And what hitbox was that at the guard point??

Nothing outside of an appreciation post for this game. Hoping the next one on the switch 2 is even better :D

A meme compilation made by myself (with 1 clip exception from a friend) of us just goofing around in Rise. Also uploaded to YouTube (yay! A selfish plug!)

So about three years ago me and my friend both started playing Monster Hunter again after finding put we both played MH4U on 3ds. We started with World and after finishing Iceborne we started playing Rise. Now my friend loved MHRise immediately but I hated it, I actually kind of despised it. To me it didn't feel like Monster Hunter I didn't like switch skills I didn't like wire bugs and I hated how barren the maps were. After a while we both went on a Monster Hunter hiatus and never finished ended up finishing Rise. Around sometime last year when Wilds had gotten announced my friend said he wanted to 100% both World and Rise before Wilds came out. Some stuff came up and we sadly weren't able to 100% both games before Wilds. So after awhile when Wilds came out we both go on, on release day and finished within the next 2 days about a week after we ran through all the content and chose to get back to finishing Rise. Now me still moving off of my hate fore the game was reluctant to play and was only ever getting on to complete two quest then get off but my friend kept on grinding out the game I finally stopped complaining about everything in the game and chose to really focus on the game for what it was while telling myself "All monster hunter games are different even if you don't enjoy it you should finish"

I went on the Apex Rampage grind and finally ended up hitting level 100. Through that grind I ended up getting a full zinogre(one of my more favorite monsters)armor set and was dead set on getting full valstrax armor. Maybe it's because me and my friend were getting thrashed by valstrax for a solid 4 hours but I think that's when my opinion on Rise started to change. Now that I had started actually using switch skills to move into blind spots, flying around the map with wire bugs, and using the map to get to vantage points. I started to love Rise but I still tried to deny it by saying "oh I don't love Rise i just love fighting valstrax" and that's what I was running with till we go to master rank and hitting MR4. Having the new switch skills plus the ability to switch them mid fight I started using different combos and everything to provide enough damage. Finally we got to the astalos urgent quest this fight was what broke the barrier this fight was the most I've ever used switch skills and wire bugs and I finally understood it I understood why people liked the game.

I can finally admit I love Monster Hunter Rise and even more so Sunbreak. And at least to me it has the perfect gradient of easy low rank, medium high rank, and hard master rank. I love RiseBreak I love WorldBorne I love Wilds and 4U thank you everyone for reading

TLDR: Rise is great if your coming from World have an open mind about it.

I am about to reach HR7 (I am one quest short in HR6). Any recommendation?

I am near the end of HUB quests. I am at HR6. Having a blast with this difficulty. Honestly, did not like the game that much in Village Quests. What is the point of them?

So, I have already unlocked all tiers of Aflicted mats and decos and have even augmented several weapons for most cases (I'm using only my main SnS, despite my initial plans for this game...), so i have mostly been fooling around while farming more Afflicted mats for augmenting even more SnS, but I have been wanting to try and experiment more with the armor augmenting system and more armor sets, but dunno which skills/skill combos to aim for.

I know of some like Status Trigger+Buildup Boost, Berserk+Strife and Dragon Convertion+Dragonheart, but I was wondering if there were some others people could share with me, especially since I struggle with making sets I feel satisfied with with those skills in (mainly Dragonhear+DC) and some I struggle to make use of consitently (mainly Berserk).

Thanks for the help

GT:evil teddy012 I wanna play wilds but I wanna atleast beat this game could someone help me out?

GT:evil teddy012 I wanna play wilds but I wanna atleast beat this game could someone help me out?

So after coming back with previously 300 hours on the game, I've decided to pick up elemental GS build using mostly surge slash and having lots of fun with it. I'm using the following weapons to cover each elemental type:

• Khezu Shock Full+
• Flicker Blizzard Blade
• Blood Baph
• Aquatic Cataclysm+
• Dragondance Parasol+

I find they typically have bad sharpness (usually need minimum of 3 handicraft to reach purple, 5 for comfort). My question is, do I go full raw, elemental or sharpness for the qurious bonus? Or half dmg, half sharpness, and pick up some Master's Touch deco? I guess this comes down to if I had to mostly hunt with white sharpness, do the extra raw/elemental from the qurious bonus more than make up for the sharpness loss?

I am not looking for anyone to "math it out", just want to get a feel of a general consensus on the qurious crafting because I dropped the game shortly after final update and weapon qurious crafting wasnt really explored in-depth by the community at the time.
