[@BeckyRoth99]

One thing that i can respect Asmon is, he did all the boring/grinding stuff offstream just like he said he would.

[@ZazeH]

Sadly he doesnt know how to tackle with greatsword or is using the wallbang with his claw. Even more impressing he is actually killing things without too much trouble usually

[@tuwumuch]

Yeh these monsters are doing no damage to him lol

[@alice0795]

it´s fine there is no reason to do that unless you want to speedrun it....but he will hit a wall eventually...he is playing very defensivelly right now...in fights like alatreon/mr kulve/fatalis you have to be as aggresive as you can because you run out of time/it leaves/or dps check

[@Gekkoukitsune9]

this would prob also be Rajang since playing D against that will have you killed @@ZazeH

[@jeancouscous]

The game is much easier than people think, or the general skill is low, the real hard stuff are the endgame such as Alatreon, AT last monsters and Fatalis@@ZazeH

I normally don't even watch asmon that much, but his MH journey is just so interesting to follow. Watched every vod so far

[@Kaiyuni]

In the future when you post these, can you adjust the time stamps to include the monster's intro cutscenes? It's nice to see his reaction to the monster's appearance as well and what it does and not just the hunt.

There is notmal bagel, then the everything bagel. As in everything HURTS

[@LPDarkSoulsHD]

1:10:05 Made me laugh so hard. All experienced hunters have tried to apply this logic even though it doesn't work like that in the slightest 😂. We hope if we carve the monster's wing, we'll get a wing, so on and so forth. Watching Asmon do what we've all done and somehow manage to get the carve he wanted was great.

[@sefatsilverlake3816]

The cool part about these hunts and why they were such a big deal is that they are flagship monsters from previous series: - Tigrex and Narga from Freedom and FU - Zinogre and Brachy form P3 and 3U - Glavenus from X Those are some of the most beloved and classic monsters, lets hope they return in Wilds along Nergi

[@CloudCollapse]

Fingers crossed there's no Kushala Daora in Wilds. Even as an IG main with full Kushala armor that thing is just the most annoying fight ever.

[@sefatsilverlake3816]

@@CloudCollapse I get you, I'll rather have it reworked, but the guy is a flagship too so I highly doubt it now that they have the trend of putting most famous flagships. If something I thing they might add Chameleos as they missed him on World.

[@Dargoneth]

Why is everybody loving Glavenus so much? He's one of 4. Brachy has the best music, Astalos is the coolest fly monster and Mizutsune is just overall the best monster ever so where is the love?

[@sefatsilverlake3816]

@@Dargoneth They are all cool, but I get why they choose Glav, he is like the most flashy. Also Brachy is not from the fated four, he is the flagship of MH3 IIRC, you are missing Gammoth the mammoth, he is from the fated four and also deserves love

[@infamouscheesecake2232]

All great monsters but in all honesty I wouldn't mind if some weren't in wilds just because of how frequent they are becoming. Would love to see laguacrus get some love

[@NwinDii]

I love glavenus. He got such an interesting movement and attack pattern. Ducks and weaves and baits. And oh my God that tail spin mouth sharpening is the most anime thing ever. It's just so different from a lot of other monsters and it's part of the fun.

[@Dargoneth]

Mizutsune had the most inventive and interesting moveset ever. totally unique. Sadly the vertical difference of world compared to previous games made it impossible for them to add the monster in world..

[@gaunterodimm5974]

That glavenus tail carve was insane. Made me laugh out loud. Definitely some sort of divine intervention

[@sorrowdada]

Literally streamer luck💀

[@Dice-Z]

Dude is blessed by the gods. I swear every single time he gets to low HP monsters switch off aggro to mewconnell and let him back to full. EVERYTIME.

[@markkoi6874]

Ok at this point I'm convinced that Asmon will not use tackle even if he was at gunpoint. The man can't even open hunters notes to see what makes GS good. I mean the only reason he even knows about overcharge is because of a meme video. And he will 100% never realize that there's a sweet spot needed to be hit.

[@Zhyreph]

I mean, he will figure things out at some point. It's always better to just play your style, fail or do wrong things - instead of just looking up how the weapon has to be played. MH is about learning by doing, even if that costs dozens of hours of you playing not good at all. If you learn stuff by only watching guides or getting tips, thats not the game series for you then, tho.

[@stoney8378]

The part in the glavenus fight where he tries to hit it like 6 times and misses every one of them is absolute gold lol it was so good and funny, gotta love it 🤣

[@angriboi]

Glavenus can be very hard to hit tbh.

Asmongold did, in fact, hunt monsters in a world. Truly outstanding feats of the human mind.

​@@PneumonicJayRod not have to just get past the weakend version instead. Yes he has to START the fight with the real one but If he dies there he'll go back to base and see the new quest notification and probably check it out

[@PneumonicJayRod]

@@MrTeamGuy it doesn’t stack elemental damage anywhere near fast enough unless you have a full blown meta build with optimal decos though. Not that I’m complaining. The frustration he’s gonna experience fighting Alatreon without full element/crit eye/wex, an actual good elemental weapon and safi armor is what I’m here for. Lol

[@PneumonicJayRod]

@@Jose_Doe ohh yea I forgot they added the nerfed version of him into the game so the hurdle to get to Fatty wouldn’t be nearly as bad. He will probably have no issues making it to Fatalis then in that case. I still wanna see him try to beat the real Alatreon though.

[@magerr98]

"how do I avoid that attack? "tackle and block" "dont tell me how to play" ok lol

[@kennobu8181]

I'm betting that once he learns the full advantages of tackle, he won't stop talking about how OP it is.

[@spinnyboi9951]

till he uses it against a kirin

[@qull3840]

I think tackle is double-edged if you use it at the wrong moment. You can get cart from consecutive attacks because you don't get from knockdowns. Those knockdown s are very precious breathing room against monster you don't know the moveset.

[@LLawliet04]

​@@qull3840 You're correct but if you know what you're doing it a pretty good move and a shortcut to TCS. Especially when Asmon is using Divine Blessing 3. Asmon doesn't like to time or counter attacks though so he probably would get carted lol.

[@gaminwithsqueeze5956]

You need to farm mantles too

[@coolorochi]

With and without tackle this is a different game. Tackle opens too many stuff, including the real GS machanics.

I always find it funny how the character gets hit by such big monsters and just brushes it off like it's nothing, just scratch 😂

[@dewaeryadi7776]

Correct me if iam wrong, the lore is that the hunters are descendants of super soldiers who created for great apocalyptic war or somethin thats why theyre very durable and can wield giant anime sword

[@Kepesk]

​@@dewaeryadi7776That's one theory. The Ancient Civilization may have made super soldiers to fight the Elder Dragons and hunters may be descendants of them. MonHun doesn't care too much about lore, so there's not a lot of specifics. I like that theory tho, so I choose to believe it.

[@nathanb7733]

My theory is the hunters are descendants of dragons themselves. With so many things being off shoots of dragons anyway, why not the humans

[@amruzaky4939]

It's just the armor

[@pvpminer9007]

​@@amruzaky4939 well the armor wouldn't help against the blunt force trauma even if the hit doesn't touch you the force of such a heavy tail for example would liquify your innards cause humans are basically meat bags filled with water and stuff. But then again MH doesn't care that much for realism wich is what makes it great.

[@PollexLLC]

Any greatsword player worth their party slot won't block, it's a useless mechanic for the weapon that is outdone in every way by the tackle mechanic or just dodging it actually serves no purpose when guarding without any ironwall jewels slotted hits have so much knockback and stagger that you are animation locked for only a few frames less than just getting knocked down because of that you're often better of just taking the hit than you are losing 15-20% of your sharpness.

[@tenfeettall9579]

Hey Asmon! I think you are doing great so far! I love to see you getting those dodge rolls. Here a few things about s in this game (if someone already mentioned please ignore me): Without the evade window ability you have 7 s @30fps. That equals to a little more than 0.22 seconds but there is a catch. You have to dodge roll every frame of that attack, that would hit you. Let's say an attack would hit you for 6 frames you would have to be almost frame perfect. If it would hit you for more than 7 frames you simply cannot dodge it. This is why it feels so impossible sometimes. If you are looking for something closer to a DS3 fast roll, try evade window +5. Happy Hunting and greetings from Germany!

If you allow the quesion, when was the last time you ran a stream with 30k+ viewers who bombard you with tips and tricks while you are trying to figure out a new game? He is just doing what everyone would do. Focusing on the things he understands and improves in those areas instead of trying to learn new mechanics because someone out there thinks it would make his playstyle more appropriate or effective.

No status affects, no flinch shot, no mounting, no traps, just want to bonk with sword. It's more important that he's having fun so far be it from me to say he's playing "wrong", but I feel bad when he's not having a good time or feels self-conscious about how long the hunt is taking. I hope in the future he finds the rest of the monster hunting toolkit to be rewarding and learns to use it.

Alright, let's clear some shit up about the Glavenus tail cut. Glavenus's tail has a break AND a sever. The break can happen whether or not the tail is red. The tail MUST be red for the sever though. The tail turning red is independent of Glavenus becoming enraged.

[@Maelthorn1337]

Thanks, didn't know that.

[@gaby232323]

also the reason why the greatsword has new animations its because of iceborne basically if you do a true charged slash and if the first hit of the attack hits the final consecutive attack will have a bonus attack on the final hit and you know you hit it if its all red.

[@Dredgenicon]

Thats just wrong. Second hit on TCS doesnt do more damage if you hit the first tiny hit. Orange numbers are just weakpoints and flashing orange hits are crits on weakpoints. The TCG does have a lvl 4 charge that lowers damage if you hold it too long.

[@immersion9880]

Asmon should really consider doing some group hunts. Not with MSQ monsters but some repeat runs on tempered monsters to farms gems. It’s such a great feeling to take down a monster together with other chads.

[@immersion9880]

@@DreamingVoidI dont think that’s fair. He literally watched team darkside throw out a 10k TCS on one of their videos and it didn’t seem to bother him but motivate him. Also the guy wears the same plain white shirt every day - not exactly the sign of a narcissist.

[@StarBorn881]

It’s awesome to see him enjoying the game but it’s a shame to watch him tank all fight mechanics that one shot me while playing. Divine guardian and Palico spam heals are serving as a crutch for him and not allowing him the chance to find deeper mechanics within great sword to further increase his skill levels.

[@tntTom174]

I can say that I underestimated this game first time around I tried it years back and I honestly thought Asmon gonna get repelled by it eventually too. When he didn't, I tried the game again to confirm or destroy any doubts about it that sprouted by Asmon getting hooked. Turns out I was wrong about it, it only felt clunky coz I didn't understand combat enough. Menus felt clunky till u realize they are made with QoL in mind actually are fast and easy to navigate and control too. So I guess thx asmon for trying it out and pulling me back into it, this time for real lol.

[@sodapopinksi667]

Finding a weapon you really like helps, too

[@zimon85]

This is actually very common with Monster Hunter. There’s even a saying in the community that ”the first game you try will push you away. The second game will hook you forever.” I guess in your case you did not wait for the next game (Rise or Wilds) to try again but it still applies. :)

[@VelvetAura]

I second the notion that this is very common. So many new players don't realize that pretty much ALL of us veterans to the series bounced off their first Monster Hunter game to some degree. I grew up watching my friend play MH on his PSP but it was too intimidating for me. I loved Tri but got stuck on Barioth back when I played that as a kid. It wasn't until I came back with 3 Ultimate that things really clicked for me and I was able to fully appreciate the experience, and I've never looked back since. Been a diehard MonHun fan since back then

[@tntTom174]

@@DreamingVoid I'm talking from Mouse and Keyboard perspective as this being console and pc release. Compare these menus to anything fromsoft and they are golden (also console and PC releases). Again talking from MnK perspective I have LMB, F, spacebar, manual click on screen to confirm action for example in MHW. Can use 2 hotbars, have one to scroll through in two directions etc. Now look at Elden Ring and cry. My god I love that game, but they haven't made any progress lol - you can't even remap anything that matters from the few given to you, and things like - scroll only one way through spells and/or items equipped - if u missed, welp good luck scrolling those 7 items again...stupid). I'm also Tarkov player and they have excellent use of MnK and aviability of remaping and single key use (f.e. actions can be binded to single key like *check weapon* set on "hold" and then *fix malfunction* set to "release"). So these menus are good imo.

[@bamboozle_mcdoozle1231]

As a veteran monster hunter huntsman, it warms my heart to see Asmomd come fresh to the series as a greenhorn hunter, and slowly make his way up to expert.

watching asmon play the game makes me feel like returning and play again but too bad there;s no other content left if you've done pretty much everything already

[@SirDogeTheDog]

Just do it all over again forehead

[@edwingarza22]

Use your mantle. It takes damage for you. You have it in your inventory, slot it to your radial menu. It'll save your life. Also you got the tail really early, but it looks like just a spike on the floor. Check your map for the tail icon.

[@edwingarza22]

Also the tackle will give you hyper armor, you still take damage but it'll maintain your momentum so you can keep your combo going or if you need to reposition in a pinch, you can cancel out of the charged slash combo if you know you're not going to hit and reposition also.

[@jamesdiato]

Monster Hunter is a game the seperates the men from the boys.

[@iMightBeCrazy]

He got the tail break right before diablos dropped him in the hole and the tail shard went with it. The whole tail doesn't cut on glav, part of it comes off that's why he didn't think he cut it

I play the bow and the GS, there's nothing more satisfying than landing a full charge attack. I don't really watch Asmon that much but this is one of the more entertaining play throughs. 👍🏻

[@joeportland559]

Made it to Iceborne and still doesn't know to use traps as temporary moments to get in big damage. I really don't remember MHW:IB being so casual friendly. Can't wait for him to fight actual boss monsters instead of these babies.

[@lokomoko3442]

I’m glad his tail doubt ended only two hunts after it started, he really lost confidence in the cut after the glavenus fight

[@sadrequiem]

I get not wanting people to tell you what to do but at least spend time at the training grounds so you know the move set of the weapon you're using.

[@commanderalopobre4433]

The thing is, Asmongold is doing just fine. He has so few hours that he doen't have any obligation to know yet all the tricks the game has to offer, and nobody wants backseating when you are actively enjoying the experiencie. Does he need to learn how to land more big attacks (and the shortcuts)? yes Does he need to use better his enviroment? definitively Is he attacking the wrong spots on the monster? maybe Does he have a lot to learn? of course But he is learning and the improvement shows. Here he started to read and study some pattern from monsters HE'S FIGHTING FOR THE FIRST TIME and that's huge. And on top of that, HE'S PLAYING ON KEYBOEARD for fatalis's sake!

[@coolorochi]

No, the tackle! It's a shame not using the core machanic of GS.

[@Gaming_Groove]

I've always said, large brute wyverns are a rough matchup for GS unless you're extremely familiar with their movement. their bodies are long with their feet acting as a pivot point that can take their head or tail 30 yards away in an instant. They really require a deep understanding of both the weapon and the monster to do well relative to other the other monster types if you want to have good sustained DPS.

[@eereno9114]

Damn he's been putting work on this game and I'm all for it

[@kenomenorias3200]

The tackle is like GS' premier move. Without it, he's handicapping himself.

Literally no idea if asmon reads this, but if you attack glavenus' throat while it's glowing, it will eventually topple him because you ignite the shards of metal that are in his throat from when he sharpens his tail - which is why he falls over at 56:45

[@Mesjach]

I love the "pure" gameplay so much. By using all the tools, especially with Iceborne, people barely fight the monsters, just stun, topple, wallbang, trap, drop down 90% of the time. The way you're playing the game is way more fun, imo.

[@Andlekin]

Asmon, your shoulder check/tackle are (essentially) your i-frames. The shoulder check also lets you get to your TCS faster. It is your most important tool in the GS move set (apart from the TCS). The roll in MHW is not good for i-frames without augmenting it much later to feel more like Dark Souls. At this point in the game, it's just for repositioning. Please please please watch the 20min Arekkz video on Great Sword. I PROMISE it will feel so much easier to land TCS's. You've been playing with a handicap.

[@schall2481]

Back when i was like 12 or so i played monster hunter tri on the wii i really like it tho never did quest and only roamed around and killed the same 3 monster cause i couldnt understand english that well and cause of that i never progressed through the story. asmon brought me back to the game and i really enjoy it again this time doing the quest and progressing

[@cottonmouthxx7828]

Monster Hunter Tri is such a gem of a game and I often miss Moga Woods 😄 it still holds as my fave free roam area honestly! Especially in 3 Ultimate on the WiiU/3DS later was just perfect. World just is a lot more entry friendly if you don't have an already familiar with the game friend to show you the ropes / basics 😊 and for that it's great.

[@xKanadeTachibanax]

Divine blessing isn't something exclusive to MR though And he's only wearing early MR stuff, not that different from late game HR stuff. So while he does have a little advantage over the HR monsters, he's still doing well against the MR monsters, which he has no advantage over

[@spaceunicorn162]

I've started playing the game since October and Asmon's progress is so close to mine right now. Not only that his progress gaining so fast but also how good was he for a first time player. Can't wait for Asmon to slay Ishval or Alatreon, AT vel or even Fatalis.

There's hyper-armor built-in with the tackle. He's prolly just too into the action to notice that's why chat's telling him to use tackle. Spamming was not cool tho.

[@Slipstream92]

You made this game look fun. started playing it too much its addictive

[@mad636man]

I’ve got to say. I tried playing monster hunter on 2 different occasions over the years prior to asmon playing it, and simply couldn’t get into it after a couple hours each time. Seemed too complicated. Once asmon started it I tried again cause watching him play 4-5 hours seemed really fun. Again after 3-4 hours I thought uh this seems so complicated and the menus and crafting are just all over the place. So stopped again and thought “I’ll just have fun watching asmon play it”. So for about 10 hours I did that and watched asmon go through new zones and monsters and after a week of this I thought. I’m gonna try it again. After about 15 hours of playing and finding the hammer. I was hooked. This game really really needs to emphasize the importance of using a weapon that clicks with you. Anyone out there unsure about the game or tried it before and it didn’t click. Try a different weapon. Try them all. It totally changed the game for me when I found a weapon that had a move set I clicked with. And being able to use the claw is a must for me. Just makes movement way more fun which I find important. So while I hate that getting the icebourne expansion was necessary for me to make the game play in a way I found enjoyable I can’t say I regret having to buy it. The games great!!! That is all I can say. It took me 5ish tries over as many years. But I love it. I’m hooked.
