[@darkhero2]

With so many new players starting MHW and Iceborne, I wanted to mention some key things each player should take some time to do before jumping into Iceborne

[@birdface5145]

What was your layered armor in the vid? it looks sick!

[@angel__king]

Can you do a video on twin blades? I just beat Velkhana and I still only do like 50-70 dmg on a damaged piece. I can’t tell if that’s good or not especially since I killed MR kirin and I was only doing like 14-18 dmg on unweakened segments

[@Jsolid110]

What's the name of the mod that makes the drops so visible?

[@vekostudio]

im they new player,, can you suggest best weapon for newbie player im looking for (greatsword,longsword,dual blades) can you give me pros and cos each weapon? hahaha thx before

[@darkhero2]

for a short answer I'd say sword and shield, lance, dual blades and insect glaive are very easy weapons for beginners to pick up and use. - I have a lot more of a nuanced opinion on the topic so I have actually already recorded a proper video going through all the weapons and how I would rate them in terms of how easy to use they are, so if you do want to see me approach that topic with greater detail, hopefully I'll find you back here in a couple of days ^^ @@vekostudio

[@Moonedo]

Don’t forget to do quests to upgrade your harvest box. You’ll need it to grow mats you use alot very quickly and without any hassle of gathering them yourself.

[@jaredgibson1667]

I didn't do these quests for 2 years ☠️

[@naxoxz]

10:10 Agreed, I always felt that facing solo Arch Tempered Nergigante with high rank gear was the last true hunt/test before Iceborne. It was just you and the Flagship monster in a last face off. But I can see why many players would skip all the extra content from the base game now when you can just seamlessly continue the story and have a better time without worrying about grinding optional stuff. In any case you're right about the event quests, some of them have a few surprises too!

[@mista-ys5if]

But you need them optionals for sure

[@fluffyness2990]

I normally never comment, but I can't believe someone used the music of File City from Digimon World! That opened a can of nostalgia I thought I had forgotten.... Thank you for that!

[@lefthanded3446]

Im exactly mr 1 right now and wanted to jump into iceborn immediately. I‘ll definitely go HR 50 first now. Thanks!

[@darkhero2]

I'm glad I was able to help and be of use!

[@kayneerasmus213]

I am a little bit into iceborne but I'm stuck on barioth at the moment, I think I'll do the arch tempered elder dragons firdt to get rocksteady mantle firdt

[@leyang.6]

Make sure to enter iceborne because it automatically boosts your hr

[@albi24]

Yeah man im MR 1 with HR 78 😁

[@MetalMachine93]

​@@albi24 right on, keep it up hunters!

[@kittentacticalwarfare1140]

Event quests, a lot of people miss on that. There is also the hidden gem that is to take all the pictures, and capture the rare endemic life (pets).

[@OnScreenStarcraft]

The photo thing is part of Iceborne, so it doesn't really fit the "do this stuff before entering Iceborne" theme

[@kittentacticalwarfare1140]

@@OnScreenStarcraft damn you're right, forgot that lol

[@OnScreenStarcraft]

@kittentacticalwarfare1140 Easily done, I'm just back into Iceborne myself so it's fresh for me haha

[@ninjathehuskey4373]

Also another tip, when you get to the Kirin quest at HR 49, go into the assigned quest and farm its tracks, it'll give you Investigations for tempered elder dragons. Reason to do this is, it can be a pain to get them after you complete the quest.

[@Br0ck3n]

I will have to keep these in mind, thanks for the tips!

[@dgeci]

Thanks A LOT for this video! It's exactly the thing I was looking for. I returned once more to Monster Hunter and I FINALLY managed to beat the fckg lunastra and the teostra in the No Remorse quest after I left the game for years. And now I can move on! To iceborne.

[@thepromman]

Just getting into the latter half of LR, exactly what I was looking to learn! Thank you so much!

[@Prestegist08]

What are those jewel notification holograms? I've never seen that. And the element symbol looking at the quests?

[@venusxfly]

I'm so glad people are returning to MHW, Rise was fun as hell but World just made me wanna actually explore the locations more

[@lukej4084]

holyyy moly ! the great jargas event deco ! thanks man ! just started playing this month.

[@Alternus.]

Love the Digimon File Island theme BGM here

[@AgustinAlbero]

File City* Yeah, it definitely triggered some memories

[@Moffattt]

holy moly that great jagras event quest is gonna help loads. started a new character with my brother

[@patsville731]

As a new player of barely 2 months, this is definitely helpful! Subbed!

[@ahnoy6992]

This is what we needed!

[@redtorres8667]

For the new players who started world. I really suggest that you take your time before getting into Iceborne since some HR quest progression won't be triggered if you have a main story quest pending. You won't be able to get the quest that is needed to get the materials for upgrading your charms.

[@nicolacosentino5042]

If u pass in iceborne you will not be able to do anymore something?

[@nicolacosentino5042]

Or i can go in iceborne and still do all this things?

[@yoru7636]

That jagras deco farming is 👌👌

[@Gamator-yf7wr]

quick question but why are his shiny drops so easily visible. like they have images above them. is that just a mod?

[@caazi3126]

I’m new to mhw and that event quest tip is game changing thanks a lot

[@MagnaCali]

Returning player here, never played endgame and iceborne. Thanks for this video

[@oddthemute6172]

Great video, thank you.

[@dimakozaryuk]

Thanks, Bro!

[@gareiis2824]

Great video 👍🏼

[@Notaforumguy007]

honestly grinding HR 50 feels like such unnecessary grind for a new player when theres no issue going straight to MR which has its own grind so time wise its better to just go to MR and let both go up for the price of one for your time. Also the great jegras is cool and certainly efficient but iceborn also gives you a way to get decorations easy with steam works so its not something to wait on. If someone wanted to get the full experience of high rank boss fights they can just put on high rank gear/weapons to get the true effect so again telling anyone to grind it out till that point before iceborn is dumb.

[@nicolacosentino5042]

So if I pass to Iceborne now i will still be able to do all the things he said in the video?

[@nicolacosentino5042]

Or if i go now i will not be able to do this things again?

[@zoondox4101]

[@RosietheOni]

Good video and a recommended watch. Also, good choice in music. Digimon World for PS1 yeah?

[@darkhero2]

Yep, you got it!

[@thanatos113]

Not sure all of this is good advice for everyone. If you're going to tell people they should do something before progressing to MR it should be because it will save them some trouble later. The utility upgrades somewhat fit that bill because they make MR easier but can also just as easily be done after getting into MR. Some other comment said you can't get certain quests if you have an active main quest so that's probably a good call out. For pretty much everything else here you'd save yourself time and effort by just coming back after getting into MR, because even starter MR gear competes with the best HR gear. Even if you want the extra challenge of doing the hard event quests in HR gear, it takes time to get good HR sets and you can farm them easier if you come back with MR gear. This guide is good for people who want to get the full base MHW progression/experience, but I'd argue that most new players are just trying to get to the end game in a reasonable amount of time. I'd say this should be a "HR rewards you might have missed" guide or something

[@Deddyn666]

Exactly my thoughts, MR Bone gear is crazy strong compared to most HR gear and it literally takes 5 minutes, also there are a lot of really easy sets avaible after first 1-2 MR quests

[@dailydosequotes777]

woaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. the decorations part was really... thanks you sir...

[@LinearV2]

MR was the biggest reality check for me I’m currently doing everything in base game and will return to Iceborne to kick ass lol

[@syrupsmiles9384]

These are all good points. The only issue is that a lot of these quests are unlocked at HR50. If you start the game new and play to the end of the base game, you'll only be like HR20 or 30 going into Iceborne. From there you can get to 3 star master rank quests quite easily with your high rank gear and then start to farm something for mid master rank. Im playing through the game again on a new character currently, and I didn't get to HR50 until I was already finished with the story for Iceborne and was almost MR30 as well

[@ethanwalker955]

Im curious, do you have all the vanilla canteen ingredients, cat gadgets and cultivation upgrades?

[@Daniel_Siaw]

7:09 Warning on the Greatest Jagras event quest, it looks easy in the video because he has MR gear, but with HR, that's equivalent to a Arch Tempered Jagras hahah becareful!

[@bluejazzman]

The background music of this video is a huge nostalgia bomb

[@Mysticshosh42]

For moxie you need to mention its a one time use only and have to be a above a certain health threshold to survive a hit that would ko you it also doesnt save you if said attack inflicts you with fireblight or poison cause as soon as you step up you instantly die unless someone pops a heal for you

[@kylecgobel]

I put over 400+ hours when it first came out. It's been nice starting fresh

[@zhiyongng1930]

Once again, I feel that I have only scratched the surface of the game. I basically worked my way up to the beginning of Icebourne alone. My friend joined me and found out that I somehow crawl my way to Icebourne with the Guardian/Defender set armor without any additional upgrade. He helped me crafted a Beotodus set so that I can manage Icebourne. Now that I watched this video, there is much much more to be done...

[@peteramaranth85]

kinda forgot to mention, alot of those missions needs hr50 to do and some are locked behind hunter rank

[@manuelgrassi8114]

love your tips especially since i couldn't afford the expansion (perks of living in argentina :'( ) and was looking for some guidance on non iceborn late game i just unlocked decorations and im about to face nergigante for the first time. My only fear is falling behind and not being able to progress on master rank. Anyways amazing video.

[@DragonHybryd]

if it helps any, every little bit you do before you get the expansion is only a benefit toward it. Getting an excess of materials (from crafting weapons to items) to the decoration farming, learning a different weapon or 7 while doing that, even getting extra event tickets only makes things smoother going into iceborne

[@stonaraptor8196]

Be ready to get fucked hard. Capcom ruined the game with the clutch claw and made it basically mandatory for hunts. Without it, hunts easy take 30+ minutes. It's pretty bad.

One thing really bug me is that I'm trying to unlock affinity booster and I've done all the deliveries and some of the optional quests except the last quest "RRRRRumble in the Waste!" Which from what I read the third fleet master should give me the quest in research base. The problem is that she's not there but instead she's in council table in seliana. I tried to talk to her but it's a non quest related dialogue. It sucks

Unless you have a fullteam of just your friends, i dotn think you should do Kulve taroth as a HR player, the other player (elitist) that really farming the weapon/mission will cuss at you because you died a lot on the mission because kulve can oneshots you if you didnt have MR armor

[@darkhero2]

I've had a few friends do it for the first time with random groups and it went well. They said they were new and so the rest of the players would tell him what to do. There's a chance you'll find toxic groups of course, but I don't think it's as bad as you sometimes hear, you know

[@azkaghafara5712]

@@darkhero2 its not what i hear, but what i see myself, im not the one doing it, but i know a lot of people will get upset if someone with no good gear fail their mission/sieges, even when they are not the one hosting the mission, that is why i call them "elitist"

[@varnix1006]

​@@azkaghafara5712at siege lvl 1 or 2 is fine, but failing at siege lvl 4 or 5 is pure skill issue, KT is easy to defeat at lvl 4 and 5. Effective temporal and fireproof mantle usage is enough to complete the siege. Heck 2 MR players and 2 HR players are overkill for the HR siege. The cancerous ones are Extremoth and Ancient Leshen. Even at MR gear they're still cancer.
