Is it Possible to Beat MHGU with a Rusted Sword & Shield?

[@ReaverJolt]

For those wondering how I got the Rusted Weapon "Early," I didn't. What I actually did was just play through all the key quests on an already completed save file. This was to make the process a bit faster and a little less painful. That and I used the weapon at level 3 instead of level 1 since I didn't have another rusted SnS prior to completing low rank.

[@monsterblooper3818]

Reaver i have a question, how to know what quest is a key quest

[@SephDerg]

@@monsterblooper3818 There's generally a list online for key quests, in game you sometimes get hints for what are key quests from npc's but I'm unsure if that's in any other game than mhgu

[@starwarsenthusiast151]

Maybe in the future you could try a regular SnS only run for generations ultimate at some point. It would be interesting to see with all the different types of SnS in the game.

[@payday7679]

Love the challenge runs also I dare ask will there ever be a frontier challenger run (obviously not all of it )but it’s quest lines or ranks individually?

[@saerudayo]

@@monsterblooper3818 hey I know this is 2 months late but the MHGU:DB app is an absolute life saver and time saver. If I’m too late and you don’t need it anymore maybe someone else still will, so cheers

[@knivesalot4093]

27 minutes of fighting Khezu, that’s a fate worse than death.

[@LichtJackal]

Had once one in 4u that lasted 35+mins. That Was hell plus i had like -7 or -10 thunder defens.

[@Voidio2454]

Yeah, at least his theme makes up for it! One of the best in the whole series!

[@Officewaffle]

I had to fight 2 royal ludroth at once for 45 minutes strait because I was too stubborn to summon help in g rank

[@daneelaart]

my first khezu back in unite was SECONDS from timing out, what a memory

[@Vik1919]

He's not really a threat if you use a Bow and know how to dodge his ranged electric sparks. You can actually dodge between them even if there doesn't seem to be a space between them. I was *shocked* (not the status change) when I dodged them that way many times.

[@ekosubandie2094]

Bitter Affinity is a good skill to go with Rusted weapons IMO Since all of them has natural -70 affinity which mean the skill could easily procs to offset the negative crit damage penalty

[@conorb.1901]

I remember seeing a rusted bow mixed set using that skill, so many arrows are fired with spread that it's extremely likely to activate rueful crit

[@sigmazeta2044]

The problem is Bitter Affinity is only accessible when you reach G-Rank and the earliest armor set with that skill being the Gammoth X set the other being the dreaded Bloodbath set thats has to be upgraded to reach its real potential

[@alexunder3165]

3:23 Every solo G-rank hyper quest be like. Hyper deviljho captured in 48 minutes? That's almost speedrun time right there, my dude.

[@romanfuchs1932]

Man, this was crazy! Dont even want to attempt this challenge! Thank you for suffering so much for our entertaiment, this was a great video!

[@ZokariVirek21]

Masterful editing in this vid, I love it! My favorite part was the remixes of the Fated Four themes in quick succession while glimpsing their battles. But for real, Reaver, I'm VERY impressed with your dedication to challenges like this!

[@ReaverJolt]

That actually means a lot! Thank you so much!

[@arkanain0]

We need MHFU, MH3U, MH4U ports for the switch! don't let the classic die, we need to preserve this games in modern hardware

[@JedCapitan]

im all for it! escpecially not getting to play MH4U hurts, def not getting another console ye

[@Ausar0]

defeating nibelsnarf with this weapon in under 18 minutes is the biggest accomplishment tbh. Dude is infamous for eating up all of your time, plus you'll bounce pretty frequently with yellow, let alone anything lower.

[@macaza1092]

funny thing is i was sort of indirectly doing this challenge when i first got GU, i used SnS because the other weapons seemed like too big a change from rise, except i was stuck using the baby low sharpness weapons and had no idea upgrading them increased it. being used to a visible weapon tree in world and rise really had me

[@Soridan]

Just have to say, from the Uragaan fight on the editing to the music was on point. **Chef's kiss**

[@edricchang5947]

4:34 ReaverJolt: Okay Luthdrooph!! Royal Ludroth: LATERRRR!!!! 🤙 😜 ReaverJolt: Bruh 😒

Hey man, you're a gem of a content creator! I'm glad I stumbled upon this channel

[@LonelyHermit08]

“Cepha-BOOP!” “Time for da BEAK!” I swear to the Elder Dragons, you always get a laugh from me. Especially the Butt-fangos with Lud-roll but honestly all of these moments are great(^-^)

[@romanfuchs1932]

You can see by his eyes, how hard and frustrating actually is!

[@themetamayhem]

this seems like the difficulty level was comparable to the no whetstones/sharpening challenge, and it was just as entertaining to watch! another great video! i also love the editing done in this video, i think it's a great way to compress such long challenges down into a short, fun video. i think it'd also be cool if you had another channel where you uploaded full hunts from these challenges, as the full hunts would be fun to watch too

[@PIKATHUNDER7]

Man when you told me you were doing this challenge I expected the early game to not be that bad as the early monsters have no health, but man just barely past the early game it started sucking. Props for the dedication

[@jaredmanwell442]

As soon as he said "okay garuga show me what you got" i knew within 10 seconds mans was gonna be riding the cart back to camp

[@justanormaldudeplayinggames]

Hey reaverjolt, i have a nice challenge idea for you to make Monster Hunter World/Iceborne Survival Challenge The main challenge is that you can only use your item pouch, and only items that you collect on the field *You can't use the item box to pick or store items, so you gotta manage your inventory *You can't buy items (the only items that you can buy are the power and armor charms) *You can't use mantles and boosters *You can't use the botanic center

[@S.I.L.]

As a Prowler main, these complaints about time are kinda funny. I timed out to high rank Valstrax. Also the negative crit and bludgeoner skills should help when you get access to them.

[@DragonMasterG]

Let’s hope reaver isn’t too RUSTY in gu, it’s been a while since he made a video on gu

[@kakashi0909]

Legend has it that a hunder who weilded the rusted weapons to dispatch fatalis would bathe the weapon in its blood, transforming it into a weapon the wyvernian has prophecised to herald a hero greater than the azure star themelves.

[@callubear]

You should try and get the negative crit/bitter affinity skill because it sometimes makes you do a strong crit instead of negative crit

[@Anonymous-ul4xt]

I have a challenge for you the challenge is use only monster hunter 3 ultimate and portable third weapons and armour only?

[@sonryu1934]

I think most of us who watch this will probably give up half way or so 😂, I give you prompts for not giving up and keep pushing to beat the game. I couldn't even imagine doing this challenge and would a lot of my mental health 😂 to get through this.

[@asheune5241]

I just recently discovered this channel, and I'm already loving it.

[@UFOToaster]

Making it to High Rank alone is impressive,but grinding out the Ceanataur set with a rusty butter knife and guild style? You sir,have nerves made out of titanium! I feel like popping a blood vessel just by fighting him normaly with all the advantages at my disposal,doing that would probably make me quit MH entirely. xD

[@MezzoForte4]

The Fated Four remix edit is god-tier and insane. Holy crap. 😫👌

[@gladd8869]

I respect your dedication, this video is epic.

[@edricchang5947]

Bull fan go: Is this a headbutt party!? 😃 4:55

[@650pm]

Is it weird that this reminds of Master Chief saying every time “I need a weapon” and he also says it’s enough.

[@chadlancer6107]

I love how every monster hunter video I see uses duplex’s music.

[@towelguy]

I hope you allow yourself to upgrade the weapon as you progress, that would be fun to see some sort of bludgeoning set for g rank

[@songbird6414]

Honestly, I’d love to see you do a ranking of your hardest challenges. The No sharpen challenge in g rank still puts me on the edge of my seat, but this… this looks like a lesson in madness.

[@mogscugg2639]

Just so you know, I think you'll enjoy sunbreak quite a bit. The new stuff look like it fixes a lot of issues I had with rise, and they're hinting at some old favorites returning Also the newest rise event quest adds the best looking layered armor in the game

[@mr.cantillasz1912]

this is me in frontier z hr5 elder dragons,getting one shot by the fricking rocks be like

[@zan6102]

Brutal strike would make this weapon more tolerable, but it's still a major pain

[@kommando293]

Not gonna lie, this reminds me of almost my entire time playing Monster Hunter World/Iceborne for the first time. First off, I was only using a bow the entire time. Second off, I didn't really start being smart in the game till late game/Iceborne.. which also added more time. And finally, I often would go into half of my fights.... totally unprepared and not understanding I could change my equipment on the fly. I still look at half of my own videos that take an hour or so long to try and beat just one monster with my bow... say the least, this gives me PTSD flashbacks to my first time beating the final boss for MHW vanilla.. before Iceborne. So, long story short. PTSD from watching this. So i subscribed. Becuase I may as well be a masochist using bow only it feels like.

[@JanderStrahd]

No one's even mentioning Oils? I really expected an, "...and then I applied some oils." at some point.

[@landenriley8442]

So will you do a full reaction of mhrise sunbreak's 2nd digital event?

next, beat MHGU using some random branch from backyard

One question were you aloud to upgrade you weapon at all?

[@garetnugget5891]

You should beat MHGU with only palicos

[@radiogobrrrrrrr1949]

“How is the mouth hard!?” That’s what she said

[@Halberd-h2v]

7:34 Am I playing the game wrong or something my hunts usually take about that long

[@fawfulfan452]

I have trouble with beating gu because it is such a big time commitment. The fact you beat it so much is impressive. Also how can you even do this?! I would give up

[@breadknight8421]

This reminds me of good old Broken Straight Sword runs in Darksouls hell yah

[@Vulcanfaux]

... so minds eye is gunna be your favorite armor skill this challenge. Or did you make a rule against using that?

[@ReaverJolt]

The only rule for this challenge was not to use SnS Oils until High rank besides only using rusted weapons; Anything else goes.

[@blakejanssen1135]

maybe I suck a mh... but a 27 minute quest was par for the course when I 1st started playing, sometimes 50

[@zenith1625]

Challange idea: What if you Farm every chargblade In every Game or only in 1 of them games

[@radiogobrrrrrrr1949]

So your saving the world with a rusty plate and knife you had in your attic for 70 years essentially

[@omegaphoenix3015]

If you want a hard challenge, get all rusted weapons and have fun

[@bloodybladenum1920]

I'm going to miss loading zones, I prefer them because you can chase down monsters better
