"Torch pods can dispel effluvium"
WHAT
THEY DO THAT?
ALL THAT PAIN AND SUFFERING AND ALL I NEEDED WAS A LIGHTER?
Yes they do!! The game is even kind enough to give you torch pods in EVERY rotten Vale campsite lol
It only works against map efluviam, and it doesn't work like a nulberry. If you're AFFILIATED with efluviam you still need a berry, but the torch pods disperses MAP efluviam and creates a safe space for you to walk around in
@@Bison-StorytimeBack when i started one of my first maxed charmed was the purification one (no nulberries needed).
And for effluvium, i like to play with glider and assassin mantle. Mantles make you immune against effluvium and you can switch between those 2 for 100% uptime. I still do hunts without those and use torch pods (temporal and rocksteady free wall bangs are nice too).
@@Bison-Storytime so if I had to describe it in stupid terms... it's like igniting a flamable gas. You get rid of the gas quickly, but it will not help you if you already inhaled the poison.
Another great use for torch pods is attracting bugs, if you ever need to farm Hornetaurs or Vespoids, they will just walk/fly right into the fire, killing themselves and not destroying their carcasses.
@@eijiro-gz2ik well, the fire can actually still destroy the bodies, but it def feels like they leave bodies more consistently than with weapons
Bison: "Torchpods are one of the most underutilised slinger ammos"
Me, shooting torch pods left and right in every quest: FINALLY someone who understands me!
This is what 6 years of mhw challenge's has led to; the epitome of all challenges. Not even having to play and letting the palicoe have the glory they deserve
Fun fact, if you really work at it, there are about a half dozen sleep herbs in the Ancient Forest, and 2-3 parashrooms as well.
Also, Elder's Recess tail riders are oddly good for the fact they are unique to the map
15:06 That's the fun part; You NEVER have to repel Nergigante. He just gpes away after some time.
Really enjoyed the struggles for the whole vid. Keep 'em coming
I'd like to add a piece of knowledge about palicoes gadgets.
-The shield second ability actually does good damage because every attack the monster does will proc a counter attack and that can be alot of hits in a short time.
-Plunderblade is better for damage than Flashfly, even if not as flashy than a mine on the ground. All three of its abilities does damage, especially the third.
-Of course Meowlotov does more damage but if you want to use the utility of those, knowing that they do bring damage can convince to try them out.
-If you want to try Palico only hunts, use the whistle for an ability just after your cat did it by himself for cooldown purposes (leading in faster quests).
-And finally you can kill Fatalis in seconds with Meowcano thanks to a little exploit found rather recently by speedrunners. I'll let you search more by yourself.
Oh and nice video Bison.😉
Mhgu palicos be like: amateurs
Well actually Iceborne Palicoes can kill anything in a matter of seconds, even if it is because of an unintended interaction by the devs, which is the same as for gunlance. It was discovered really late and will certainly never be patched. So if you take this exploit into account the two best hunt tactics are GL and Cats ^^.
@@yolenain yeah but I'm holding off using those to complete the challenge until I absolutely HAVE to
There’s no way you only have 300 subs my boi i subscribed to fight against such atrocity. Your videos are definitely high quality and entertaining!
This was an interesting idea but I feel like banning bombs but allowing poison smoke bombs is pretty weird considering they do more damage. I think giving the palico a poison weapon would've been more in the spirit of the challenge.
Very fair. It was something I waited until the final boss to use at least, and there's definitely an argument that using them shouldn't have been allowed, but I allowed myself to use it since the spirit of the run was too use little used and oft forgotten mechanics
I would have preferred how to use poisoned meat, something I did occasionally use in this run. But Xeno doesn't eat anything.
Interesting idea, it's kinda like 'Pacifist'. Well done 👍
Damn, buffing your team, using traps, doing nothing to contribute to the damage... you turned into your cat's cat!
Amazing voice over and the edits were funny, ive never played an MH game but this has got me interested
I just found your channel and I’m so glad I did. Gonna watch all your videos back to back now
thank you so much!! got a new one releasing 5 minutes after this comment post
amazing video, I really love that you put songs of haven OST
I loved this! Thank you 🙏
0:33 me starting to smile knowing where the backround music comes from and the fact that it's a good jam
@@benstephens4488 the song is called "the pleasure quarter" and its from a game called "gravity rush"
Yo I love the video bro, this was an awesome challenge and you're very entertaining
MAN great content keep it up
I was surprised how late poison smoke bombs showed up in your run. Was my first thought about how most of the damage would be done once available. I'm not sure the ingredients are available in the portion of the map you have before the forest fully opens up.
Nice work, seems like a worthwhile task to engage in over hours and hours ;-). No shade, seriously impressive.
That’s so damn helpful to know that I can just do nothing up until Zorah closes in, then I can mount him and do more nothing.
Ah yes, the Plesioth challenge
That was a good video. Definitely got a sub here.
People that take this too seriously don't understand entertainment
I appreciate that a lot! Def got a couple comments about me using mounts to trigger ivy traps 😂
Bro really said, “oh dog o run”
Nice! As a beginner with only like 200h play time I felt I learned a lot from watching your challenge. Seems I've underestimated how useful palico/tailriders and enviromental can be. 😊
Ah, Monster Hunter. The only series where 200 hours of playtime is 'beginner'
When i watched this i thought it was a large youtuber. Top quality this is
oh my god, you actually did the impossible, this challenge is much more complicated than No damage run.
definetely easier though, think darkside still has the greater acomplishment XD
18:22 yep.... had that happen too when i first started iceborn. It was hell and painful and Beotodus was already limping when i got the prompt that it was leaving. And it did and I was so annoyed.
very well done my friend
I remember someone had this idea back when MHW first came out
I thought you would also take advantage of turf wars, maybe by making other secondary monsters fo to the target and having them fight
The true main support
easy. perfect blocking is them hurting themselves.
Its entirely anecdotal, but I see more status infliction from my palico when i have them on Plunderblade than i do on any other Tool. No doubt the Boom Trap and later the Explosive tool from the Elder's Recess can output more damage, but the Plunderblade is probably a close second for weapon based damage.
This is good to know, it kinda makes sense when you think about it too
I'm so glad I bought this game , I finally made it to rank 29 and have iceborne but I don't know how to get to iceborne .
I killed all the elder dragons I think .
But also im still having fun .
If you beat this with just a cat given how big the health pool is you've earned my sub .
I can't wait to see how this plays out .
Iceborne becomes the campaign after you beat worlds campaign, so just keep following the main objectives and you can't miss it
25:54 That caught me sideways. I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time.
FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for someone to comment on that joke for like a month XD
Looks like somebody is going to enjoy iceborne :D
i love it when they make an exception like that jumping attack
run with "exception/without" like this always have at least one contradiction lmaoo
I'm not doing any kind of official run, I'm just having fun and ivy traps felt in-theme to me
I heard Haven OST, i sub
2:44 Shut up Bison he WILL be back! Hopefully...
3:09 Don't compare yourself to that horrible, disrespectful, disgrace of a person.
Nergigante just leaves if you ignore him
DO IT!!
Story expedition monsters will leave before a certain health percentage
An iceborne version would be great😂
What a gigachad
next challenge, beat monster hunter world without playing it
11:28 Everything you need to make capture items are in the ancient forest. Just buy 1 trap tool and grab a thunder bug to make a shock trap. Then you just get parashrooms and sleep herbs for a couple tranq bombs.
I'm aware, but just cause they are in the ancient Forest doesn't mean I picked them up 😂
Every monster can be captured from start of the quest...
I know that because i have a 100% capture challenge going on!
of course! that would have made my jagras much much easier too XD. I just felt like inheriting my inner souls-player and bashing my head against the wall brute force until it worked :D
Do it Bro, Iceborne is waiting for you .. 👀
I couldn't believe how much more useful the cats are in this game. Those little shitters used to just fall asleep in the middle of battle, and you'd have to kick them in the butt to get them back into gear, and even then they might just go right back to sleep while you have Fatalis breathing fire down your neck.
This might be more intuitive in Rise since the Palamute attacks whenever you attack, even if you're not hitting anything. I think riding on it to control its attacks directly would count as hitting the monster yourself.
Nice
RISK OF RAIN MENTIONED
While I doubt that this would be possible for IB, this was a nice watch, tho I think the run would benefit from you streaming the runs on twitch or something to make it more interactive and also legitimize some of the strategies
The biggest thing stopping me from streaming is that I simply don't think I have the social energy or personality to make a good streamer. I can write, play, film, and edit, and that's what I've done so far, but I just don't think I would be a good streamer
@@Bison-Storytime np dude, you can just do videos like this and maybe in the future if you think differently, you can try. I only realized that most challenges I saw that are kind of similar were from twitch streamers, who did a challenge and then summarized it in such a video
@@Siscon92 I do get a lot in inspiration from those kinds of videos, that's what dark side does for their challenges too
I'd say my biggest inspiration is a channel called the backlogs, who like me don't stream and script and edit everything
I feel like a video based around streams as well needs to incorporate more of the live comedy aspect even in the video editing, and things like the boom boom boom joke wouldn't fit as well. That's just me though
It's not that I haven't tried streaming either. It's that experience that's made me think I'm probably not great at streaming
What about poison and other status effect meats? Drugged meat could be used to double the damage of a single boulder/spike/crystal trap
i thought the boombug worked on elders ill have to chec later
@@christophersmith9074 it does, but I didn't know that at the time of recording, and it was still a better idea to switch to meowcano regardless
We want Iceborne…we want Iceborne…
Saving you the watch; No. Hitting the monster to trigger anything invalidates the premise of.
DO IT.
👏
the area below where you first fight tobi has sleep herbs for any who might see this message
Im unconvinced without seeing a full hunt of this. May as well put on a blind fold and say you did it blind.
-_-
okay you def get points for referencing that little funny situation lol
but still!!! feel free to believe it or disbelieve it. i did this for me and for fun
okok
Bruh, what do you mean you don't have the materials for tranq bombs, you can find parashrooms and sleep herbs on every map.
Also, funny with Zorah, yeah, you don't have to do anything until the guns. Nergigante just leaves after a time. The only benefit to destroying the cores is that it gives you time to drop stalactites on him.
Just cause they are on the map doesn't mean I had grabbed them. I just meant I hadn't picked any up yet
If i remember correctly the Gajalaka and Boaboa only needs the monsters near their proximity of the traps, no need to mount them i think. The Gajalakas are the best in this, they like deal 1000 damage in total of the firing squad
"Im not allowed to hit the monster but I am going to hit the moster :)"
Awsopme video
I wanted to make a joke about me being bad at the game therefore "never" hitting the monsters but it doesn't quite work...
It was "me, who's bad at the game: i see this as an absolute win!"
But it can't be an absolute win because not only is this challenge way harder than a regular playthrough but also I'm too bad to beat the game in the first place! I mean, i assume i am... I haven't actually played world, i only played old gen games mhfu, mhp3rd and mh4u, can't beat high rank in any of them for the life of me. Really wish i could fight gogmazios from mh4u but i can't even reach that part of the game, let alone beat it... Lol, and I've been periodically playing those for at least 6 years now
Fun fact, palico base damage isn't based on the weapon. Weapons add on to an invisible base damage that increases as the cat levels up.
@@Bison-Storytime I saw that video after I commented, so... whoops. Sorry about that
@@demonhunterx7094 no problemo, you still right in the context of this video XD
Was i hearing music from Haven during the second Nergi repel and the Pukei triple cart?
@Bison-Storytime I thought so. The Haven OST is so good. Every track fit the vibe of the game so perfectly
@@TheDreamAnimus haven is pretty close to a perfect soundtrack. there are a lot of games with bangers in their soundtracks, even better than havens bangers. but haven's soundtrack is INCREDIBLY consistent in how perfect each song is.
I can only name 2 soundtracks I think are more consistently on point, and those are Risk of Rain 2 and Kingdom 2 crowns. Kingdom 2 crowns in particular is my vote for best OST of all time in consistency
How? And why?
Subbed
"who I forgot to record" bruh just say you couldn't figure it out, we'll understand
except for the simple fact that would be a lie. im an honest guy, and the honest truth is that i forgot to hit the record button once or twice
don't believe me? oh well
Does wide range work on palicos for buffs n heal?
45k time for icebourne baby🎉
Yup! Not super accessable without sacrificing tool specialist or palico rally though.
It'll play a slightly larger role in my iceborne playground
Here to say... if you will do Iceborne... Goodluck with Alatreon, because unless you pull up with a shield (and a decently equipped palico) you don't stand a chance, because Alatreon in normal gameplay is a road block... in this challenge he'll be a god damn titanium wall.
im not gonna lie, the run has not been going well and I'm not even certain I can get past coral pukei pukei rn, let alone barioth
@@Bison-Storytime Pukei Pukei can be cheesed like Xeno'jiiva with poison smokes... somewhat. Barioth might be next to impossible like you say... Poison can do some work but it's weaker the Coral pukei and the best weapon you can get this early into iceborne is... **Checks what it is in game assuming you still use ranged damage scaling as the main damage dealer** oh dear... the best early master mode choices are... 3 event limited (Kulve taroth, Felyne rose basket+, snow cat bell+) and few I don't even know if you care reliably farm... (Artian set which would probably require Good RNG from Tailraider Safari, Master Rathian,Anja and Lumu)
@@mrmechpunch4653 I'm actually using the rose basket already so got that covered lol. The biggest issue with coral (I'm also struggling with nightshade but ESPECIALLY coral) is that there are next to ZERO environmental traps I can use in the Highlands, and this'll only become a bigger issue when I hit things like odogaron and namielle
@@Bison-Storytime how lucky do you need to get with Palico buffs from food?
@@mrmechpunch4653 it plays zero part in my strategy whatsoever. the ONLY benefit your palico can directly gain from food is HP, which is always a fixed amount of +20 as long as you use fresh ingredients. there are zero food buffs that apply any kind of benefit to the palicoes either, so its really just for the HP and stamina
Looking forward to the iceborne and maybe even rise sunbreak 😂
Iceborne is definitely on it's way!! Just got through shrieking legiana
Yah better do Iceborne 😂😅😂😢😂😅❤😅😂😢😂😅😂😢😂
The wiki is wrong xenogeva actually only takes 900 poison damage
were fatalis
Please do Iceborne n... *sees the end of the video*
Oh, oh you poor thing, of course we won't ask you t...
Anyway, please do Iceborne next
Definitely just make a longer video and show more of the monsters
i don't think what you said about poison duration up is correct, unless doubling only applies to xeno jiva. according to my testing on Great jagras it only adds a couple ticks
it might just be for xeno but i doubt it, and i know for sure it is double duration. i got the idea from team darkside's no damage run video where they do something similar
Why didn't you use pawswap to give the tailraiders some items? They can use traps, barrel bombs, demon powder etc, could've been helpful
plz do Iceborne, if you hate your life for doing it, DONT DO IT
I wonder if rise is easier as you got that dog with you as well
the dog makes zero difference. its just an uber from one zone to the other. it has ABYZMAL damage and is outclassed in every which way by the palicos
that said, you can instead opt to have 2 palicos
in general, rise is easier due to every weapon attaining counters and playing like they are longsword. however, I find that hunts in rise take a long time and are quite exhausting because all the monsters have giant HP pools to account for the LARGE variety of attack boosting skills... which unfortunately makes the build variety a little worse I feel as there seems like a MUCH bigger damage discrepancy between tank and damage builds than other games
@@Bison-Storytime I kinda assumed all the tools might be useful, tho idk I never paid much attention to them, just gave them poison and para weapons and forgot about them
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "IT'S JUST ANJANATH"?!?!?!!
Tldr; no
hey im at the first zora magdaros bid and even if your cat wasnt there it would have been no sweat: you can ignore nergy entirely to no consequence. thats what i always do: ignore the thorny dragon and bonk lava stones.
You're not allowed to ignore nergi at the gear ravine quest, damaging him is the requirement for finishing the quest
Wtf you can mine radobaan
Yup! You can do it with uraagon too, and you can use a capture net to get fulgerbugs from the back of zinogre
Do it
where did you get the nergigante version of the toothless dance meme?? i need it!
Make video boom
Yes Iceborne Yes cat hunter world
