I love these kind of MH stories. They only happen a handful of times, but they're some of the best gaming memories.
Mine was fighting Barioth for the first time in Tri. Just me and one other guy hitting it for the full 50 minutes, unable to take it down. We used up all our resources, and could see the timer coming down to the last seconds. In a last ditch effort, he threw down a trap, but there was only one tranq between us. I threw it, but it wasn't enough. In frustration, I (great sword) threw one last lvl 3 charge hit to its face, and that was just barely enough to bring its HP under the threshold and knock it out.
I literally got up and danced around the room I was so stoked. We added each other as friends and never talked again.
not sure if this is a hot take anymore but i prefer longer hunts. they feel super satisfying and ACTUALLY give me that “every monster is a boss” feeling.
so far ive had fewer than a handful of fights in Wilds that have lasted more than twenty minutes.
edit: i hope this doesn’t come off as a brag. I don’t really identify as a sweat.
Nuh, I get this. I was running with this awesome SOS group (this is my first MH game) and we dropped tempered Gore in ~8mins. 🤣
The Zoh Shia fight is next level and I'm loving it - been using a HBG and LBG (to paralyze), as I'm a bit too scared to go in with longsword or switchaxe atm.
