So is rainbow or gold? Cuz chance get rainbow too small damn RNG, im always got gold egg

[@jeffYang28i]

After the tigrex retreat, WALK to the nearest catravan and save, go to then den, if u dont get a good gene load the game

[@Simon18B]

Does this work ?

[@dfutyut2]

@@Simon18B yep. i did it last night. i made 3 saves just in case i messed up. also, once you get the rainbow egg (if thats what you're going for) you can save again in the village and save scum the 3 stats it gets.

Dont farm on this royal too much, you will find many tigrex not long after this area Also tigrex is really useful for farming royal gammoth

[@KainYusanagi]

5:00 Yes, he DID do a double attack. Remember that when you and a monster counter an enemy's attack with a Double Attack, you take no backlash damage and it eats their attack that would have otherwise clashed with whomever they are going Head to Head with. The Power Attack at 4:53 is the Tigrex's second attack. The way to deal with this is through using Aptonoth's Riding Skill, since it causes a knockdown which negates the rage (which causes it to do double attacks) as well as cancels out that turn's double attack.

[@jocelyncordeiro4870]

Thank you for the tips! Just got my Tigrex yesterday. Most difficult fight I've had so far, but totally worth it! I literally screamed with excitement when I saw it retreat.

Much needed guide and tips. Met Tigrex last night and my whole party took a face full of boulders. 😅

[@TagBackTv]

Tigrex is a beast

[@kingdonnie1932]

never played the first one yet but i’m having so much fun with Stories 2 already and i only have about 5-6 hours. definitely not disappointed

[@PlagueOfGripes]

The game is adamant that traps do not work on it. Paintballs so far have not had any effect on it, even used a moment from the final blow. Very stubborn animal.

[@Guinnavel-D-Gray]

Glad to see you're alright plague. And yeah i keep beating him but it won't retreat

[@affablesage9582]

@@Guinnavel-D-Gray Keep trying. It's frustrating, but it's gonna happen eventually. I had to learn that lesson with Monoblos, and now I have a pretty good rainbow one.

[@pierremapp6451]

Shock Traps don't seem to work when he is enraged or at lease for me but i guess its because his Power move is jump attack however i have been using the Pitfall Trap on him very successfully.

[@ironmaidenmetalgod]

@@pierremapp6451 yeah but he does not use power when not enraged. So I dont really understand the momsterpedia

[@gothxm]

RNG lol

[@jcdgcrh]

I got really lucky with my acquirement of Tigrex. I pretty much followed the advice given to me by the video. I was at least level 17 when I fought it the first few times, the third time was when I beat it the first time. When I noticed it drooling due to low health, I paintballed it right away, and it retreated after a turn or two. I even got a shiny light egg draw (where golden light shined while I was digging around). So I have this video to thank for my success. That and a lot of luck.

[@CybrrSpeak]

Thank you for introducing me to this amazing game! I have been loving the demo on switch. Enjoying the demo as cannot get the full version yet, but hopefully in a couple months

[@TagBackTv]

My pleasure!

[@sarcasticcatlady2036]

I’ve been loving this and couldn’t wait for the work day to end so I could play the full game

[@joshfisher6406]

Commenting to support the algorithm. Great content as always.

[@youalreadyknowitspepper714]

I’ve just killed it for the first time after resetting for 2 hours and was lucky enough for it to retreat. Now the grind is on for a rainbow egg.

[@SA1NT_GAMING]

Did it have a ??? Health bar when you were fighting it and it retreated? Cos ive probly fought it 12 times now and beaten it 4 time and ive had to reset it each time cos it didnt retreat, my save lt 1 and 2 are both saves after beating it and my 3rd save is next to the catavan stand pre-fight.

[@puffynoodle5997]

I love Tigrex so much. First time I saw it I thought it was adorable

[@chrissya4533]

Right now I have just played the demo cause I really shouldn't buy another game right now but excited to play the full game one day and use these tips!

[@megantje]

I guess I need to start saving up for this game haha damn you tag! you always make me want to buy good games! keep up the good work! I'll go back to lurking

[@succubieify]

MH stories was great. This will be even more value for money.

[@FFC994]

Thanks! That was actually really helpful, managed to beat it at lvl14 as well. Although I’m not sure why you suggest the bow? It’s the first MH game ever for me, but I’ve used the Gunlace which can also boost the defense, since as you rightly point out the most important thing is not getting knocked out in one turn.

[@tylervlazney3195]

What was your setup?

[@abigailthelemon]

Back at it again with the gooood tips🙌🏼I retreat back now to the demo...

[@Melissodora]

I just got Tigrex after watching your guide! Thank you!

[@SA1NT_GAMING]

Did he have a ??? Health bar when you were fighting him before he retreated?

[@rafaelramos1284]

I found a tigrex egg in a monster den with a tigrex sleeping in it,it was on the Lamure Desert,Sadona Barrens. Hope it helps and you get lucky!😁

[@michaelscott5171]

Thank you for this! Tigrex is my favorite monster in mhst 1 and 2!

[@firegodessreiko]

There is a nice spot to farm tigrex by the Harzgai Hill-Inner catavan stop as well. It's down a little hallway with a chest at the end....which will show on your map provided you don't open it....serves as a good marker until then.

[@gyrojay8799]

I had very weak monsties for this fight. I beat it at lvl 14 aswell. What I did was use blue kut-ku blazeball for the burn, and pukei sword and shield for the poison and guard. And just kept my team healthy. When he was engaged I'd switch to monoblos since he's tankier if he was targeting me or my monstie though I switched to velocidrome instead to win head to head. It was hard not gonna lie. Atleast all it cost me was a few potions and life soot.

[@cameronbordeau850]

Also get the Monoblos royal very early. Tigrex is a great early speed monster but Monoblos is an amazing power type early on.

[@KonDragon008]

Glad you made this! I mostly used it as a guide for the type of attacks Tigrex would use; it helped me plan and adjust my strategy knowing what attacks it favored. I tried to get it at level 14...got it to about 30% health, but it could OHKO everyone on the field (except for Arwin's monster, who could typically survive at least one hit). Decided to play the story a little more and came back at level 17. It was a difficult battle, but I thankfully got it to retreat the first time I beat it! I saw someone else had commented about saving before entering the den, and glad I took that advice, too (managed a diamond glowy egg my second attempt). Traps didn't work on it so I didn't bother after seeing them fail; same with trying to stun/sleep it using bow/arrows. In case anyone is looking for tips, the strat I used which worked (after getting to level 17) was: Used a defense buffing talisman/charm at the Prayer Pot before heading out, as well as equipping the best bottle-cap armor and an accessory to increase the chances of the monster retreating. The monstie I used in the fight was a Blue Yian-Kut Ku (also level 17). Used the Basarios horn to buff defense (taking advantage of that first free turn by getting it from behind), and often would have to stick to healing everyone while they all did the damage (especially when it got enraged) starting around midway through the fight. I did have to use a couple of those items to restore hearts to keep me in the fight (using up the only two I had), but it was worth it. Basically, I'd do damage where I could with the two-handed sword, but mostly I stuck with a support/healing role with a horn (I think I only triggered Ride once in the entire fight due to that).

[@realredkon]

Thank you so much. I have my own Tigrex now and I love him. One of my favourite monsties

[@maxcavalera9797]

Yeah agree... i just got the tigrex. Fighting it when im at lvl 17. He got quite a powerful skill one shot kill attack. My heart left 2 and alwin left 1 taking out this beast. Once he became my monstie, i notice hes normal attack is quite powerful even at lower level.

[@albertcespedes411]

I am at 18 and he keeps killing me :( press F

[@luislopezvalls2182]

Thanks! Tigrex has been one of my favorite monster ever. And I didn’t know how to unlock him until today. Thank you so much :D

[@Brutetank]

One thing I have noticed. Kinship attacks and double attacks prevent a monster from attacking that turn. So you can cancel one of the multiple attacks coming from Tigrex that way.

[@jacepalmier7941]

Tigrex is definitely one of my old school favourite Monsters, definitely farming for that Rainbow egg of his now

[@MacDaddyYuunity]

i beat this with alwin and trap locked it till it became enraged then tried to do double attacks wasnt consistent but it put him in his place to no turn tigrex to a degree making it easy just grind traps after you get the recipe from the feline easiest way and the best way to do so

[@SA1NT_GAMING]

What trap did you use to trap lock it? Pitfall?

[@MacDaddyYuunity]

@@SA1NT_GAMING yes pitfall traps for everytime he attempts to attack via up close tigrex will show that he will use a ranged attack so dont use a trap when that happens

[@GlaciaGalaxy]

Was not interested in this game at first but leave it to tag to make me want a game lol

[@きぼうとくめい-t3p]

Following your guide, and he will not retreat. Gonna keep trying or continue on with the story and come back to it. I'm enjoying the content!

[@alexanderwilches3654]

Do you sort this issue? Same happen to me :(

[@KimmeyG]

Thanks as well. That did help some with understanding the genes. This is the first Monster Hunter I have played, so it's a bit confusing for me.

[@bellamerci8423]

Thanks for an awesome tip video! So excited for monster hunter stories 2!

[@RoliPoliGuacamole]

Thankyou so much for the guide keep up the good work tag

[@BREWLIX]

All you need is pukei pukei for technical and nargacuga for speed and minimum level at 13, baumfäller to use guard and duramboros amor for best defense, these need to be maxed out and can be forged at Rutoh village and a adamant charm active to lower damage from tigrex rock throw and of course paintballs. If you have all of this then your golden!!

[@datboyprotege]

Thank you for these tips!

[@BREWLIX]

@@datboyprotege your welcome

you can get a Monoblos doing the same thing just trow 3 paintballs she is at Harazgai Rocky Hills if you want the Mammoth hes in snowy Area close to forest

[@fortex900]

i know its a bit late but after you make monsters retreat you can run back to caravan stand and save if you didnt get rainbow egg reload and try again

[@PERSON_MALE]

I was happy when tigrex retreats,then i followed him to his den,then i got a rainbow light tigrex first try! Thank you

[@zambrunos3]

If you could also put a brief description of like monster move types in normal and rage states and also the bonus conditions that'd be amazing

[@nicholasmarquez3399]

Also don’t forget if you break the head while it’s in an shock trap that greatly increase your chances for retreat

[@TornaitSuperBird]

has to be with a greatsword, too.

i did pretty good my first try, but~ since i didn't know how weak it was since it was my first time beating one: i didn't paintball it. next time though. I'm confident.

[@morribell]

I'm thinking about getting this one. I have a friend who I'm trying to convince to get it too but he said he might feel bad working alongside monsters he's killed so many of in World and Rise

@@Asterion437 lol that might get him

[@cybertramon0012]

Decided to try this out because I read that Tigrex is an top-tier speed monstie. Only found out when I was at the stables that, due to where I got up to, I had already found two Tigrex eggs in dens already.

[@keroclow9059]

Omg thanks for this video

[@switchprogamer7854]

Thanks for the help

[@pharoahcaraboo9610]

I think actual advice at low levels is: pick a god and pray. The major deciding factor for this fight is going to be whether the Tigrex will attack you or your partner, and stacking up kinship moves to cancel out the worst attacks when possible. It’s doable, but if you’re just playing casually and aren’t minmaxing the hell out of your team it will be difficult. I spent about half a day fighting it and most of that was losing or beating it but it not retreating lol. Basarios and a semi-beefed Ranmar saw me through in the end, and I finally got my egg.

[@BobThePenguin.]

I managed to beat the royal tigrex depite alwins best efforts (hes actually super helpful, his monstie got enough hp to tank some of its moves before mine) and he was a useful member for the entire story, moreso than ratha cause of that insane attack

[@kinsan89]

I wish the buddies were optional, I feel like it would be easy to cheese it as soon as you come to Alcala if you just used Gunlance and Aptonoth

[@alexandergertz2041]

Question to the community. I managed to beat tigrex and I'm farming the eggs, but I can't find any rainbow eggs. The best I've been able to get are gold. Is it possible to get a rainbow egg from a royal monster?

Excellent video. Thanks. I just wish the switch version had a capped framerate cause boy howdy the variable framerate fucks with my eyes so badly. Contemplating the pc version because it is that bad to me.

[@maxcavalera9797]

Switch version is okay if u play mostly on handheld on 720p. The frame lag looks noticeable when u dock it and the switch need to make this mhs2 work at 1k p. The frame lag is noticeable more on dock.
