[@Raynor646]

I've always found this fight really easy. You can just use a bowgun with pellet shots. They track the horn for some reason, you just have to face Kirin's general direction and fire, and you can also use them to set off barrel bombs when Kirin is charging past them.

[@starfoxflow7845]

these are really entertaining and im surprised someone is making recent guides on such an old game

[@HeadHunter455]

Thanks! :) It's a good game, always felt like the videos out there weren't so great, so I figured I'd do it myself. Not to say mine are any better 😅😅 (unfortunately this one doesn't have any music because I rendered it with the music track muted, you live and you learn and all that.)

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

Of course! Kirin cannot be trapped! Its just a Giant Lightning Kelbi!

[@HeadHunter455]

true

[@HeadHunter455]

This video is supposed to have music, but I accidentally solo'd the game volume in my video editing software, so, no music got through, same with a sound clip at like 2:00 Sorry, hope the silence is manageable. I'll try and make sure I double check that as well as the other things I usually check for. I was unfortunately unable to check the clip (though I usually look for visual bugs, not aural) because I only was able to work on and finish the video on Thursday night, so I was rushing a bit.

Sees Kirin entrance cutscene. My brain: On drugs *"My little pony~ My little pony~"*

[@zacksilverstone7642]

Sees Kirin. *Insert flashback of you being struck by lightning multiple times.* "... My Bane..." (With the help of your video, I have found courage and FINALLY faced the dreaded Kushala Daora. Slain it approximately 5 times now. I have slain the Tigrex in the story mission, so I will be facing the Camelios and Lunastra next. This video couldn't come at a better time!)

[@HeadHunter455]

😄 Great job 😃 You might want to farm Kushala a little, I'll be using some of his armor in my Lunastra video (next week) 🙂

God I forget how much more tame he is before MHW. He can be annoying but relatively easy when you learn his moveset. Great video as always! I've made a habit of having these videos playing beside me as I hunt.

[@HeadHunter455]

Yeah, most things in MHFU are pretty simple things, though tbh, everything is pretty simple to understand if you just take a closer look at it. Something I'm able to do with video editing is put clips together and see what the difference is between attacks, or if there isn't any. If I do MHW videos, I'll do the same thing.

[@TheOneTrueStAN]

I would love to see you do this style of video on other Monster Hunter games honestly. Even if its a game I dont own or a monster I dont have issue with, I feel like i still learn a lot watching these, plus its just entertaining watching a pro go through a hunt.

Wow, can't believe that there are people still playing MHFU. Brings back memories when I was playing it on my PSP. If I remember correctly, my avatar was wearing Akantor Set and I often switch to Nargacuga Set which I got it grinding materials at the old cat's quest right next to the village elder. Sadly, my PSP is now broken because of how old my PSP was.Fortunately I have an PPSSPP emulator on my phone so that I can play PSP games that I like (Phantasy Star Portable 2, MHFU, MHP3rd, Patapon 3, etc.). Thanks man for your video popping out on my recommendations.😁Makes me wanna play Monster Hunter Series once more. And Yes, I hate Kirin so much because its so nimble and annoying to deal with if you are not prepared with potions and stamina rations. Also the fact that it deflects your attacks if you didn't hit that sweet spot on the head. Tnx again and keep up the good work fellow hunter!😁

[@thegamingcephalos9412]

When I was playing this for the first time. I was using the fire blade fall with my trusted cephalos armor set. Yes, I'm a dumbass who wears a set that's notorious for having negative lightning resistance against an old my little pony thunder unicorn. I manage to survive because of how long the blade reach is, making sure that the lightning strikes around it mostly misses. I might need to get the blagonga full set for the cold resistance.

[@KnixxGaming1478]

Kirin: *Is an elder dragon* Me: *Visible Confusion*

[@fredleoplayer]

If you look closely, it has some scales, and the format of his head kinda looks like a dragon. It's just because of his mane and way of walking/attacking that looks like a unicorn. In the Lore many hunters died to Kirin because they thought he was only a little horse...

[@KnixxGaming1478]

Rajang: "This is some Gourmet Sh*t"

[@HeadHunter455]

lol, "Elder Dragon" is a classification based on the power/intensity of a creature, the wiki says: "Elder Dragons are creatures that defy typical classification and sit outside of the standard ecosystem, regardless of any superficial resemblance to a dragon. These monsters are usually rare creatures with immense power that have lived since ancient times, making them more of a phenomenon than a mere animal; disasters, cataclysms, living forces of nature." And the guy by the training school says something similar, he's like "People ask me sometimes why is something like a Kirin called an Elder Dragon" etc lol

[@mrjazz5294]

@@HeadHunter455 If that so, why Rajang ain't classified as elder dragon? I mean he fuckin' hunts kirins to nom nom their precious horn.

[@MurdokEXTRA]

@@mrjazz5294 He's not exactly a bringer of disaster - he's super aggressive but in a territorial animal kind of way and not a walking disaster way, he's not gonna go anywhere near human settlements for the sake of it. That being said: Rajang WAS canonically thought to be an elder dragon before they settled on a fanged beast.

i use the barrel bomb they give me, just throw paintball to the bomb when kirin charge (kirin like to charge), but dont stand straight to him so when it use skills, the thunder dont hit the bomb.

[@user-nj2io8hl8d]

i just used your four horns guide to fight kirin and i wasn't able to sleep him. even monoblos quest was hard near impossible. does the weapon(black parasol) have problem to shot sleep s or anything?cause it's so slow

[@HeadHunter455]

Depending on the shot type, the recoil will be more or less dramatic. I don't think you're ever able to fire Status 2 shots without recoil without a specific setup, and for Status 1 shots to be "recoilless" you'll need at least "Light" recoil on your gun, which you should be able to get by putting a silencer on your gun. This isn't anything unique to the Black Parasol. More info here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EpMs8iducma2oRZaGvgjij_UhZQNHYn11EdtS7ex0X0/edit#gid=2106006264&range=A3:G11 Kirin requires 200 sleep buildup to put to sleep, that will require ~4 sleep 2 shots, or ~8 sleep 1 shots. I wouldn't really recommend using that because the next time you want to put Kirin to sleep you'll need 250 sleep buildup, and and that point you may be running low. Keep in mind you also need to apply the status quickly enough or it will wear off of the monster and you'll need to use more shots. More info on Kirin here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EpMs8iducma2oRZaGvgjij_UhZQNHYn11EdtS7ex0X0/edit#gid=1354339551&range=A443:P449 I used the Black Parasol vs Diablos because of the pellet shots, it's pretty effective against Diablos and Monoblos, and also vs Kirin, just use pellet shots and aim for the horn, most of the time at least some of the shots will hit the horn, make sure to bring combines, I'd recommend mostly focusing on Pellet 2 since Pellet 3 will have recoil unless you have a silencer equipped. I fight Kirin with a bowgun here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJS3lmB9fLGtjrM If you've seen my Four Horns video you should be able to do that for low rank Monoblos, since that video is a low rank set up. Hope that helps.

[@pessoafixe1]

one way to use those bombs could be by crafting sleep knives

[@HeadHunter455]

Yeah, but that's pretty RNG, you can get knives from area 7, but it's not guaranteed, and you'll need at least... 4? I don't know the exact numbers, but kirin has an initial sleep threshold of 200, which is pretty standard. I think unless you're using a bow or maybe SNS, you shouldn't try to use them, and if you are sleep bombing, I'm pretty sure the bombs they give you are not large barrel bomb+ equivalent, so they'd do less damage... and kirin isn't the easiest thing to put to sleep, especially if you want to do it multiple times.

[@johnarnold412]

IMAGINE Kushala and Kirin in the same map. Then imagine being carted 3 times. sad..

[@zacksilverstone7642]

Just have them in the same area and drink the Stamina Juice. Run around like a bitch and watch as Kirin gets blown away and Kushala Daora being a living lightning rod.

[@noer6443]

Wah keren ajir

[@bre4kd0wn1]

Kirin is basically Anteka and Kelbi, but deadlier + thunderous. Also, would Hammer be a good match up against Kirin? I'd like to say Hunting Horn, or even Lance and Gunlance, but not entirely sure.

[@HeadHunter455]

I think Hammer could be good, but it's sluggish, getting a KO would be good, Kirin doesn't have much health in general, you just need to actually hit it and prevent yourself from getting hit, those are the hard parts lol Hunting Horn is much faster than Hammer, weaker per hit though. Lance and Gunlance could work, but if you don't have Guard Inc, you won't be able to block the lightning strikes, which may or may not be a problem, but being able to stab upwards or upswing to hit Kirin's head or horn is pretty good.

[@llthll]

I know hammer works perfectly for kirin, but Headhunter what do you recommend? GS or Hammer?

[@HeadHunter455]

Dunno, hammer works fine. I'll try and make a video about that maybe soon.

[@saturnringer267]

How do I unlock fatalis? I heard that I’m supposed to complete the training missions and I did everything I have unlocked for the solo ones. I did Yian kut ku all the way to Kirin. Which ones did i not unlock yet? And am I in high rank if I beat hypnocatrice?

[@HeadHunter455]

Well, firstly, the Fatalis quest is only available in the guild hall, so if you haven't already, check there, after that, just do all of the solo training quests with at least one weapon type, I think. I don't think it requires the special training. Not sure. The training quests are: Yian Kut-Ku, Congalala Khezu, Daimyo Hermitaur Blangonga, Yian Garuga Tigrex, Diablos Gravios, and Kirin Just in case Garuga is missing, you unlock that fight by hunting 10 Yian Kut-Ku. And yes, Hypnocatrice is the monster you fight to go into high rank, Nekoht's quests.

[@saturnringer267]

HeadHunter455 thanks a lot. I didn’t know I had to fight Yian Garuga. In mhw, Yian garuga’s wings and back causes white sharpness attacks to bounce off and I’m barely in high rank. Hope it isn’t the case over here otherwise Its gonna be pretty annoying. Also is crimson fatalis and white fatalis in high rank as well?

[@justsomejojo]

I used to hate Kirin and then I found out I can just shell it to death with long or wide GL in World. Still kind of a tense fight since the hops need to be on point (especially for tempered Kirin) but manageable. Now, I'm not sure if the same will be true for when I reach Kirin in my current MHFU re-visiting. Not being able to hop after shelling and low shell damage in general is probably going to make this harder.

[@HeadHunter455]

Well, Kirin telegraphs its thunder attacks in world, in MHFU it's random, or if it's not, I have no damn clue what pattern it does its attacks in. Good luck! I think it has less health in MHFU, dunno.

#2: Basically, Elder Dragon is a classification based on the power and intensity of a monster, rather than its resemblance to a dragon. "more of a phenomenon than a mere animal; disasters, cataclysms, living forces of nature." usually controlling the elements to some severe degree, like Kushala and Lunastra/Teostra, I guess Chameleos being an Elder Dragon is because it's so big and strong but also so incredibly invisible that it can be hard or impossible to even know where it's going let alone what it's doing. #3: 😉😉 #4: Yeah I did too, figured I'd look at the footage, and sure enough there's a pattern lol #5:😅😅😅😓😅😅 #6: Yep, Kirin is a unique Elder Dragon (in more ways than one of course) in that small monsters don't run away. I guess Kushala etc really oppress an area and everything has to run away, but Kirin I guess is pretty chill? Not sure. #7: 😉😉 that's the joke 😄😄 #8: A life well lived...(?) a death well deserved... or something #9: 😏😏😏😏 #10: 😳😳 #11: yeah lol, another thing about Kirin that's different from other monsters in its category. #12: Thanks for watching! 🙂🙂 Cya next time, Lunastra is next 😄

Definitely on the lesser end of elder dragons.

[@francisryanporquez8120]

the thunder attack is the nasty one,especially when it was enraged

[@imdarkmonster3697]

....which one?

[@SunnyC.D.A221]

Maybe I should practice up with the hammer before facing kirin

[@HeadHunter455]

🤷‍♀️ Light Bowgun works too I think, with pellet shots. Dunno, never really did it.

[@notraju3880]

Does the Kirin flee like the other elder dragons?

[@HeadHunter455]

I don't think he does, he's got a relatively smaller health pool, and I've never had a Kirin run away in my quests.

[@hanselbarlowe2575]

It's irritating to fight and I got from two carves are light crystals and I want the tail

[@HeadHunter455]

Yeaah, Kirin is annoying to fight. If you want to farm it, consider using LBG or HBG with pellet shots as the shots will hit the horn more often than not. Good luck with the tail!!!

[@andhikaazlan4560]

Bruh i defeated kirin at my first try thanks bro your vid really help me out imma defeat kushala next bye bruh

Nice!! 😄 Good luck :)

Did anyone else see THAT video about kirin and the mhw handler? just me? Ok

[@Sixon6845]

Speaking of bombs, are sleep bombing worth to do?

[@HeadHunter455]

For Kirin, maybe, I'm not too sure tbh. The damage of bombs doesn't scale, so, it'd be almost as useful in low rank as it is in high and G rank, though there is some defense modifiers to worry about. Kirin has pretty low health, and if you're using a light bow gun for example, you might as well go for a sleep or two if you can while also using pellet shots. The only monsters I've used sleep bombing for in my videos are Blangonga, Rajang, Basarios, and Tigrex, but if you want to give it a try you can.

Can I ask HeadHunter? How to Unlock Shen Gao Ren?

[@HeadHunter455]

You have to fight Shen Gaoren at the end of the low rank village elder quests, you do that hunt right before unlocking high rank village quests, so, just keep playing the game normally.

[@Potatotenkopf]

What exactly denotes, "elder dragon"? All I see is funny electric horsey

[@HeadHunter455]

"Elder Dragons are creatures that defy typical classification and reside outside of the standard ecosystem, regardless of their resemblance to a dragon. These monsters are rare creatures with immense power that have lived since ancient times." They share a couple of similarities such as not being able to be captured or put in traps, as well as lore wise they're powerful enough to destroy or at least affect entire areas by just being in them, depending on the game this is actually reflected in game. Small monsters are also, usually, completely absent due to the danger of them. Teostra can make ash fall from the sky, Kushala can make the area windy, Chameleos can make the area foggy, etc. Here's a cool example of that, though this is MHGU: twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1506450086066225152

[@kamidesu6414]

Alt tip: use lbg (or if you're a real chad, use a hbg with very slow reload lol) and just pellet, trust me just pellet.

[@HeadHunter455]

Yeah, there's a reason I didn't use that tbh, it's pretty self explanatory. That being said, it's basically the way to go. Kirin is such a mess of a fight in 2nd gen, honestly. I try to avoid the fight as much as I possibly can for the series, but even just in general. It's rough.

[@kamidesu6414]

@@HeadHunter455 tbh, once i got the set for both the gunner and blademaster i steered away from that combo aoe pony.....

[@pokegamer4403]

I thought the fight will never end by seeing that there is no response of getting damage unlike other monster

[@HeadHunter455]

Yeah you really just have to keep hitting it and trust in your skills, the fight can end pretty quickly since Kirin doesn't have much health, but it's a dangerous fight and Kirin can be hard to hit.

[@svenplayz1649]

1:56 I always use gs on him and charge atk when he does that. After than he justs rams me over lol and hes just fun to fight overall. And about 2:11 I was just about to say it usually is random lmao im sry. And also you cant use shock and pitfall traps against elder dragons... (well at least I think :D)

[@zacksilverstone7642]

You can. But it only manage to stagger them for about 5 seconds before it's broken. First experience using traps on Elder Dragon is against a Camelios. Fucker went invisible and step on the shock trap. I was just about to run and hit it with my GS, but the trap exploded and leave me baffled.

[@ApocolypseChild]

Is this too early in the series for Kirin to have its Bucking attack? I feel like I remember it in Unite but it wasn't on your list. edit: also known as Donkey Kick

[@HeadHunter455]

I think so, yeah.

[@aashoe3]

Gdi it is an endurance run, if only sword draw was avalible earlier.

[@HeadHunter455]

Yeah for reals. Kirin has relatively low health, but actually hitting the head/horn is tough. Using a bowgun with pellet shots can help, but then you're super vulnerable and may die in one hit. I hope you have good luck if you want to farm it for anything, not to mention the RNG involved with getting the quest to appear haha >.

[@mikaellegabriel9865]

Wait does kirin heal when attacked by thunder attributed weapons?? My only GS that has high damage is a khezu weapon

[@fredleoplayer]

No. You can only heal him with Recover S

[@HeadHunter455]

Nope, I'd recommend getting something with a high raw stat though, feel free to check this guide for more info: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/57283

[@timesnewramen4861]

you can use bowguns with pellets if you don't want to fight Kirin in melee

[@Tomix4k]

I would like to add that Kirin has a second stagger animation when you hit him from behind. He's sent flying like a Kelbi and you get a big opportunity to attack. "From behind" doesn't mean "attack its tail", it just means "Hunter and Kirin face the same direction when hit connects". There's a really skillful video showing this from BlurBerry888 on a G rank Kirin with a longsword.

[@HeadHunter455]

ok cool. this is a low rank video.
