I'd change 8 to try to have fun... Monster hunter is a lot of games wrapped up in 1. Meta chasing is 1 way to play, but there are tons of goofy, fun ways to play the game that have nothing to do with meta. There are even bomb only runs that increasingly funny. Your palicos can also be fun, you can run builds that can have them basically solo some monsters, and watching them work can be really interesting. Don't worry about what people on the internet say, gear-up, and enjoy yourself...
Can't exactly enjoy myself if you follow people's advice and still are at a wall and can't progress - oneshot or two shot no matter what, people joining on hunts doesn't help. Can't farm because hunts and even expeditions use more resources than I gain back. Best part being because of trying to learn MH I am incapable of playing any other game now so I'm fked.
@@XxWarmancxX Wait, what? There are armour skills specifically aimed at maximising gathering potential. Expeditions should never cost more than you gain, you might need to look into botany, and the rock skills, as well as those skills geared towards increased drops. If you hit a wall, that is a great opportunity to try a new build, and chip away at that wall until it breaks.
Bro the video title is “How to get good” not “how to have fun” there are people out there who genuinely wanna get better at the game it doesnt mean they arent having fun. If i follow your advice im never gonna get better at the game and idk why people hate on people who “chase meta” who cares if ppl want the best gear? Like its meta for a reason it makes the game fun chasing the best armor and weapons thats the point of MHW kill the monsters and create powerful gear/weapons with their body parts.
@@Rudeuslul You get good, by learning how to win... How to win includes having the resources not to loose...You gain resources by gathering or buying, many of which can't be bought... If you are going to gather, you might as well do it properly.
A big tip is to use tailraiders whenever possible (especially the troupers, gajalaka, and boaboa). They won't kill the monster for you without a seriously specialized build but they're a huge help when it comes to pacing by taking the monster off of you for a moment.
Take a break when frustrated. Only play the weapon that suit you. Maybe watch or re-watch class videos. DO THE FRIGGIN CLUTCH CLAW QUEST which explains both tenderize and FLINCH SHOT for free knockdown and head part break! Enjoy the game. Dont be shy about gathering. Read up about loadouts and which items to use on hunts.
Haven't seen you in a min...I remember your AT Nergi run in base game way back when. Gotta admit with my 3K hours into this game i've never thought of using max Evasion to learn dodge timings to the point where you don't need it anymore, that's pretty smart tbh thank you for the insight
A good tip with fights is positioning, an example is being beside a rathian compared to being in front of her since here attacks are much faster and more instant than the one on the sides meaning you have a better chance of reacting to her attacks
Great tips! One thing I've found that's helpful to me with learning new weapons is restarting a new save file each time I try a new one (file 2 is my experimentation file and gets restarted regularly). This lets me feel the early game progression of each weapon individually, makes me use "tutorial" monsters to learn positioning and timing, and makes me target different armor each time for relevant skills. Then after I've practiced through a bunch of the story, I go back to my main save file and make an endgame build for the weapon. Two caveats: 1. The cutscenes make this a long process. 2. Some weapons aren't really comfortable without certain armor skills that don't come easy early in the game (such as Mighty Bow skill, or Reload Speed/Recoil Down for bowguns).
@@user-xo2og8kv1o I restart because I like immersion, mostly. But also that way I don't have to keep track of what gear is "on par" because I only have what's available
I faced Fatalis for the first time this weekend and he put me over the edge. I turned off the game and while eating dinner I contemplated going back to sunbreak. Then I emptied my thoughts and went into a state of pure enlightenment. After dinner I fired up the ps5 and proceeded to cart without frustration to Fatalis. I was learning the fight at a geometric rate. Sunday night I soloed him I went into “fade to black” and beat him again. This is the only game that sent me into a state of madness followed by going into another plane of existence achieving pure enlightenment.
Thank you for making videos for the new hunters that we've had, im a returning hunter but i still enjoyed the tips to refresh me coming back . Hunt on!!
Last tip is what makes so many people fall in love with monster hunter ❤ it actually rewards us for not giving up, instead of bullshitting our brain with feel-good press-to-win mechanics. It truly feels like achieving something with your own hands, and the gratification is so immense. It lasts for 4 or 5 monster hunter games.
Yea add on to 8 for not giving up, step back after failing or even winning and ask urself what could I have done better, was I dodging to little to much, was I leaving myself open for attack during my moves(CB), and is there a deco that can solve my issue I'm having. When you stop and ask yourself questions anyone is capable of learning from what they did. When I was learning AT Valkhana I lost quite a few times using CB so much I'd get mad or ill, then I stopped and said what am I doing wrong, then it clicked for me, that I wasn't sheathing my weapon enough to be quick to reposition during savage axe, now I beat her in about 10mins compared to the 27mins I use to get.
That last tip is a big one for me, my biggest wall right now is the Alatreon Special Assignment. I've lost count of how many times I've attempted it and I have only come close to beating him, (at least I think) even gotten many S.O.S responses with a full team and have still been carted fully. The experience allowed me to beat the second Assignment where you fight a halved HP Alatreon to get to Fatalis, but that first one is still looming over my head. Ended up getting enough parts from it to make and upgrade the Glaive though XD
The best tip i have is recognizing the slinger ammo and what it does, what ammo is and isnt effective against certain monsters, and where/how you find slinger ammo, it can get you out of so many situations
I would consider adding as a tip as well is do optional/guiding lands. Along with unlocking food items, you also unlock equipment and unlock augments to help in hunts. It can surprise people how a heal augment can save on hunts.
If u really wanna get better it’s important to play a lot too obviously. I got a lot or friends who complains they faint too much or that they aren’t doing much damage but they aren’t even mr 100. When i first touched the mh franchise it was on MH4U and i remember i was terrible, with no idea of how armor skills were working at all, I was struggelint with tetsucabra, but never gave up and I finally became a pretty decent hunter I believe, after a lot of rank has passed. Never give up!
are you planning on making a new guide for the guiding lands? I'd love to see your take on it. Ive been enjoying your videos recently with the new mhw playthrough
I found that unless you’re using the Palico to the best of its capabilities, it’s better to just not use them at all. I had a semi useless palico when I switched to PC, whose only purpose was to prevent me from being carted once. I wasn’t gearing him or getting better items. But he has monster aggro half the time and it was annoying. I learned monster attacks and queues better when it’s always focused on me
definitely helps, especially with purely learning monster patterns! having no palico is great for a lot of things, definitely personal preference and on a quest by quest basis :D
O.O the bit about Tigrex and younger brother on freedom unite was EXACTLY what I did with my brother!! :D . We accidently stuck his teeth in the wall.. and that was the OMG moment.
Tip #2: I love to try out new weapons but im far to lazy to farm all the mats for powerful new ones. Plus i get easily invested in stuff and then would waste my mats on weapons i probably gonna use a dozen times and then return to my ol reliable GS. 😅 (Happened with Hammer, LBG & HBG in High Rank) Right now im testing the waters in Lance territory very carefully. 😉
My main mhw:I save looks like I’ve pretty much only played great sword, but I make a new save to learn how to use weapons, do not use a full build to learn a weapon as it makes it where you’re used to something like more flinching, or quicker attacks, unless you’re trying bowguns, they’re not fun at all unless you have a build
I personally disagree with the very first tip. Learning how to roll through roars is realistic, but almost everything else simply isn’t. This is due to the fact, that you have 13 s without any Evade Window skill and a lot of hitboxes of monster attacks stay active for more frames than your own s, so you literally can’t dodge them, even if you do a frame perfect roll. This is what Evade Window is for. You either use the dodge roll as a repositioning tool to get out of an attack, or you use evade window to dodge through them.
Even IF you are able to dodge everything its not worth taking the time to learn it to such an extent, speedrunners need something like that but even they use evade window most of the time so his tip is kinda garbage
don't pressure yourself into getting good right away... learn the intricacies of your chosen weapon/s; study the monster's attacks and attack patterns; and do you be you - never be pressured into the meta builds if you don't feel comfortable playing that way... and of course, take time and enjoy!!!
As a I strictly have to complete a quest the first time solo before I allow myself to hut with others my only walls are currently Alatreon and Fatalis. I will beat them though. I mean I have killed them before just in different games.
Another game where you can get that amazing accomplishment feeling, Final Fantasy 10 Chocobo catcher. Getting that son sigil is very hard and I was jumping up and down after a full day of grinding trying to get it
@@harrydraper1507 if you're saying Chocobo catcher was easy I'm jealous. It took me 8 hours of consistently grinding to beat Chocobo catcher my first time. Butterfly routes took me less than 2 hours to do them all, it's annoying but not as annoying as getting hit three times right before the finish line. Stupid sparrows! Yes I'm talking literally like 5 ft before the finish line
@@LordViettner Is this why I am having so many issues with dodging. Damn, I may have to do it. I came back to World from Sunbreak where I have Evade Window 3 on and can evade Velkhana beams and all. I am on SnS (love it in Sunbreak) so it's vital to me and I have a miserable time in Iceborne. I thought Evade Extender was more important...But it only helps a bit. I was a bow main years ago in Iceborne and never used Evade Window. Example, I am trying to avoid Brute Tigrex's sound attack and damn, I can't do it getting hurt in the process.
I'll give you the best tip to improve: Screw up, fail, mess around and overall learn from every mistake There's no easy path to getting good, just plain old "playing the game"
Been years since I finished Worldborne with Hammer in World (and Rise combat had me adapt to a different playstyle that I don't remember how I used to play Hammer before) but a few tips would be: 1.) Get in the habit of always going into Power Charge. It's 7% more Raw, 10% more Stun, and I think it has some Flinch Free built in but I'm not 100% on that last one. Also, your Charged Attacks are upgraded into improved versions. 2.) While charging, you can still walk around at normal unsheathed speed. Use that to your advantage: 2a.) [Level 3 Charged Attack] Get used to positioning yourself in the right spot such that when the monster finishes its attack/attack chain, you're already there releasing your Level 3 Standing Charged attack (Charged Brutal Big Bang). You can follow up with a dodge (to get out of the slow recovery animation) or with Clutch Claw Attack (L2 - helps get you in for a quick tenderize while doing some good damage). Bonus - the last hit of this will be your best Wake Up attack for sleeping monsters. The first 2 swings move you back a bit, so just get used to the positioning such that the last hit is the one that wakes up the monster. 2b.) [Level 2 Charged Attack] Make good use of the Level 2 Charged attack (Charged Brutal Upswing). It's an uppercut that moves you forward a decent distance and has good chance of hitting any elevated parts like a head. It's very fast while having the highest Stun buildup of any singular Hammer hit. Can also L2 for Clutch Claw Attack but you don't swing so it doesn't look as fancy hahaha. Note that since it's Level 2 Charge, you have a small window to get it out once you start charging. Just practice and get used to it. I also like to use it if I have to dodge an attack last second and it doesn't give me a huge window to get a CBBB off. Dodge, Charge for a bit while turning around, Fly into the monster's face with the uppercut. 2c.) [Level 1 Charged Attack] This is basically a 2-part combo (R2 > Triangle) that's very short and very quick, good for small openings potentially. Noticeably, it can be used to go into either your Triangle Combo or Circle Combo. I like to use it to lengthen the combos I use for openings if I feel I have enough time to get it in. 3.) Get familiar with your basic combos and attacks. Each has their own time and place. 3a.) Triangle Combo is your basic combo that you can use during small openings or quick skirmishes. It's no Dual Blades Triangle Combo, but it can get some quick damage in if you weren't holding your Charge already. The last hit, also known as the Golf Swing, is the most important part, doing more damage and stun than the first 2 hits combined. Good for getting high heads. 3b.) Circle Combo is your Big Bang Combo. Use ONLY during big openings like stuns or after a wallbang. If you miss with any attack mid-combo, you're put into a massive recovery animation and is deadly to your HP and damage output. But if you get it off, it is beeg damage. This will be your go-to combo when the monster is down (feel free to add R2>Triangle at the start to extend this combo a bit if the time permits). 5.) The ledge is your best friend. Look up Ledge Hammer on youtube and see that Hammer + Ledge is stronger than any weapon out there. Situational, but powerful. 6.) You can roll out of the recovery animation after most of your combos. Do this as it gets you out of the way sooner, avoiding danger and letting you get started on the next opening. I also suggest Evade Window as Hammer doesn't really have any defensive options, but that's just me. 7.) I don't really need to say this since I presume it's fairly common knowledge at this point but 99% of the time, you go for the head. Don't be Thor. You see Unga, you Bunga.
Love the tips ! I had a question though. I’m currently in iceborne right before tigerex hunt. I took a break to farm some gear and I just need the nargacuga mantle but I’ve farmed the MR3* hunt about 40 times now and not one has dropped. Every run is a broken part as well as capture. Am I just unlucky?
Rathalos has always been my go to for testing weapons, since he's not hard, but does a good verity of things, like flying, spinning, charging, etc. as well as has a tail to practice cutting. I'd also fight anjinath since a lot of monsters has that sort of... upper case T body shape where the legs are the only part easy to hit, it's a good way to test fighting hard to reach body parts for some melee weapons.
Every monster is easy until you have to fight the gold and silver Rath’s, no amount of flame or poison protection seems to help and I’ve never been good at dodging. Evasion mantle? What even is that? I’ve completed all optional quests up to the Rath’s and haven’t got it. The only mantle that helps with evasion is the temporal mantle. If the evasion window was like Elden Ring I wouldn’t have any problem.
to unlock the evasion mantle you have to: - reach HR 29 - beat “Beyond the Blasting Scales” quest - complete five tier 2 tempered monster hunts - then accept and beat the quest called “New World Sky, New World Flower”
On Number 2, I dont agree completely, since I really dislike any ranged Weapon with Ammo in this game. But I've been trying out Dual Blades, Great Sword, Hammer, Chargeblade and Switchaxe. For me that is good enough.
have you tried the bowguns? if you have then you're already kinda doing what the tip says anyway. if you haven't then how do you know you don't like em? either way, it's a good point I made
#9 learn how to stop when things get sour. take a break. been a player of MH since MHFU as well, I know the terrible hitboxes of monsters especially the infamous plesioth hip check and I'm telling you that feeling of RAGE will consume you. sometimes even if you're a seasoned hunter you will still lose your focus, there a re times that you could wreck those monsters smoothly without even breaking a sweat but there also time times that the monsters could bully you even though in your mind and play you can definitely beat it. it's just that you are losing focus sometimes and if that happens just put down the controller or stay away from your keyboard for a while and get back when your ready to hunt again.
im a new player and just beat Nergiganti, ive been carted once throughout my game time, but this game tilted me the most more than all souls game combined specially the overly dramatic CC animations of your character.

some streamer tried MH Rise back when it came out on switch and died to Khezu a bunch and quit. it was a huge meme in the MH community at the time
i really want to get better at hammer
it’s a great weapon!
Hammer is my main weapon. Its so fun and satisfying and super powerful. I love smacking them and get those KO's
Been years since I finished Worldborne with Hammer in World (and Rise combat had me adapt to a different playstyle that I don't remember how I used to play Hammer before) but a few tips would be:
1.) Get in the habit of always going into Power Charge. It's 7% more Raw, 10% more Stun, and I think it has some Flinch Free built in but I'm not 100% on that last one. Also, your Charged Attacks are upgraded into improved versions.
2.) While charging, you can still walk around at normal unsheathed speed. Use that to your advantage:
2a.) [Level 3 Charged Attack] Get used to positioning yourself in the right spot such that when the monster finishes its attack/attack chain, you're already there releasing your Level 3 Standing Charged attack (Charged Brutal Big Bang). You can follow up with a dodge (to get out of the slow recovery animation) or with Clutch Claw Attack (L2 - helps get you in for a quick tenderize while doing some good damage). Bonus - the last hit of this will be your best Wake Up attack for sleeping monsters. The first 2 swings move you back a bit, so just get used to the positioning such that the last hit is the one that wakes up the monster.

It's an uppercut that moves you forward a decent distance and has good chance of hitting any elevated parts like a head. It's very fast while having the highest Stun buildup of any singular Hammer hit. Can also L2 for Clutch Claw Attack but you don't swing so it doesn't look as fancy hahaha. Note that since it's Level 2 Charge, you have a small window to get it out once you start charging. Just practice and get used to it. I also like to use it if I have to dodge an attack last second and it doesn't give me a huge window to get a CBBB off. Dodge, Charge for a bit while turning around, Fly into the monster's face with the uppercut.
2c.) [Level 1 Charged Attack] This is basically a 2-part combo (R2 > Triangle) that's very short and very quick, good for small openings potentially. Noticeably, it can be used to go into either your Triangle Combo or Circle Combo. I like to use it to lengthen the combos I use for openings if I feel I have enough time to get it in.
3.) Get familiar with your basic combos and attacks. Each has their own time and place.
3a.) Triangle Combo is your basic combo that you can use during small openings or quick skirmishes. It's no Dual Blades Triangle Combo, but it can get some quick damage in if you weren't holding your Charge already. The last hit, also known as the Golf Swing, is the most important part, doing more damage and stun than the first 2 hits combined. Good for getting high heads.
3b.) Circle Combo is your Big Bang Combo. Use ONLY during big openings like stuns or after a wallbang. If you miss with any attack mid-combo, you're put into a massive recovery animation and is deadly to your HP and damage output. But if you get it off, it is beeg damage. This will be your go-to combo when the monster is down (feel free to add R2>Triangle at the start to extend this combo a bit if the time permits).
5.) The ledge is your best friend. Look up Ledge Hammer on youtube and see that Hammer + Ledge is stronger than any weapon out there. Situational, but powerful.
6.) You can roll out of the recovery animation after most of your combos. Do this as it gets you out of the way sooner, avoiding danger and letting you get started on the next opening. I also suggest Evade Window as Hammer doesn't really have any defensive options, but that's just me.
7.) I don't really need to say this since I presume it's fairly common knowledge at this point but 99% of the time, you go for the head. Don't be Thor. You see Unga, you Bunga.
Bonk em. Hammer can be really fun.
Love the tips ! I had a question though. I’m currently in iceborne right before tigerex hunt. I took a break to farm some gear and I just need the nargacuga mantle but I’ve farmed the MR3* hunt about 40 times now and not one has dropped. Every run is a broken part as well as capture. Am I just unlucky?
Try doing the Nargacuga investigation instead. I always get better drops on investigation quests.
yeah like Praigeki said, investigations (especially ones with gold boxes) for nargacuga will defintely give you a better chance of getting it!
I started monster hunter the same way.
Ayyyy posted 46minutes let's goo keep it up man
I've been playing for over 500 Hours and I didnt even know there WAS A GUILDCARD
O_o
Lmao this was made the day I started 🤣
6:36 hi where can i see that floating white thing box on the settings?
it's not a setting, it's a PC visual mod, here's the link if you're interested: www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2325
What's a good and easy fight to learn a weapon? I beat fatalis a bunch of times using LS and I now wanna try a different weapon? Any recommendations?
Rathalos has always been my go to for testing weapons, since he's not hard, but does a good verity of things, like flying, spinning, charging, etc. as well as has a tail to practice cutting.
I'd also fight anjinath since a lot of monsters has that sort of... upper case T body shape where the legs are the only part easy to hit, it's a good way to test fighting hard to reach body parts for some melee weapons.
Every monster is easy until you have to fight the gold and silver Rath’s, no amount of flame or poison protection seems to help and I’ve never been good at dodging. Evasion mantle? What even is that? I’ve completed all optional quests up to the Rath’s and haven’t got it. The only mantle that helps with evasion is the temporal mantle. If the evasion window was like Elden Ring I wouldn’t have any problem.
to unlock the evasion mantle you have to:
- reach HR 29
- beat “Beyond the Blasting Scales” quest
- complete five tier 2 tempered monster hunts
- then accept and beat the quest called “New World Sky, New World Flower”
Use all the weapons at times at least.
Me looking at LS in hate: nah I’ve seen enough to not wanna use at least one fkn weapon 😒
Me who never use Evade Window ever through 500 hours playing the game: 🗿
TIL I've been playing by TA rules unintentionally this entire time lol
😂 hey Zeus here’s salt 😂
On Number 2, I dont agree completely, since I really dislike any ranged Weapon with Ammo in this game. But I've been trying out Dual Blades, Great Sword, Hammer, Chargeblade and Switchaxe.
For me that is good enough.
have you tried the bowguns? if you have then you're already kinda doing what the tip says anyway. if you haven't then how do you know you don't like em?
either way, it's a good point I made
@@LordViettner I dont like the the handling of Ammo-types and stuff like that.
#9 learn how to stop when things get sour. take a break. been a player of MH since MHFU as well, I know the terrible hitboxes of monsters especially the infamous plesioth hip check and I'm telling you that feeling of RAGE will consume you. sometimes even if you're a seasoned hunter you will still lose your focus, there a re times that you could wreck those monsters smoothly without even breaking a sweat but there also time times that the monsters could bully you even though in your mind and play you can definitely beat it. it's just that you are losing focus sometimes and if that happens just put down the controller or stay away from your keyboard for a while and get back when your ready to hunt again.
very true! not over doing it and taking breaks when you get stressed or upset is a huge help as well :D great point!
im a new player and just beat Nergiganti, ive been carted once throughout my game time, but this game tilted me the most more than all souls game combined specially the overly dramatic CC animations of your character.
Wiping in this game feels so awful. In souls games you loose 1 or 2 minutes if you wipe at a boss, but in MH you do good and boom 30 minutes wasted😢
true the triple cart always sucks ;-;
First and all that
Play more hunting horn, those number are weak.
