[MHFU] Nargacuga Guide (9★ Village)

[@anonplayer6002]

The first time i fought nargacuga i said to myself "this is it, the time has come for you to fight the thing in the opening movie, you've already fought elder dragons, what can go wrong?" Then the eyes started to glow...

The first time I fought this monster, I remember being able to dodge his strikes but after second or third attempt I completely forgot how to do it. I dunno something clicked the first time around, kinda lost it but this is very helpful. Great content as always.

Thank you 🙂

[@someonetookteampixel2]

Thanks to this channel, I've gained my confidence to play this game again. Been grinding and hunting for a week now, just beaten Diablos. I was intimidated at first, seeing these grand wyverns, but the key, really, is patience. Study their behavior and surely you'll be able to defeat such giants with ease. And Plesioth hipcheck still sucks.

I forgot today is Friday lol. I'm glad they removed the active hitbox on its tail in later games. It doesn't make narga like super hard, I just find it....super annoying haha

[@1TheVelociraptor]

most monster's tail hitboxes were removed, like the rath's tail during the taunt animation (where it slams the tail into the ground and growls at you)

[@Jak_Grajeda]

Ive just found this channel, and I’ve been binge watching every guide. Even though I started with Tri and never played this, it’s still interesting to see how much this series has improved. I can’t wait for Rise. Also, loving your humor.

[@HeadHunter455]

That's great to hear! 😊 One of the things I'm trying to do with these videos is show the difference in the old games. I might not cover everything, but there are some interesting quirks with 2nd gen and such and most people who are MH fans probably don't want to go back and play it themselves :P MH Rise looks great, I can't wait either. Glad you like my style 😄😄😄

Eyyyy you finally back at the monster guides. Im finna do those timestamp thingies again lol ;P (2:34) *THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE* (4:01) You carving his tail in front of him is just absolute disrespect (6:47) Yea it was actually a good explanation ngl. Most of the fights are just muscle memory and trial and error and thats why it can sometimes feel a little bit boring once you got it down. (10:50) Yea placing or just not moving in general, in a wall or corner is not very ideal. Ive kind of learned that the hard way back then... (11:09) POGGERZ :OOO (11:16) Honestly, Tigrex theme is way more intimidating than his lol idk bout you (11:51) You: says hitbox Me: *vietnam war flashback intensifies* (14:16) Is it just me or does narga sound like godzilla when biting lmao (15:41) You gotta respect him for politely waiting for you to finish sharpening your pencil And if your curious, I still havent gone back into MHFU lol. Idk I guess I just dont feel it anymore. But Ill still watch your vids tho cuz they great and hopefully your channel would grow more :D

[@HeadHunter455]

Well, I've been doing guides still, I've been uploading on friday for a while now, this is just the first one in a while that isn't a subspecies or high rank version of something I've already covered. tail slam really do be hurtin tho 😳😳😔😔😔 Haha, yeah I carved the tail and was expecting to get hit but he kept jumping around and missing me completely 😅😅 Yeah... the first few times fighting a new monster can be daunting, but once you start recognizing things it's a lot of fun. tbh in the MH Rise demo I was getting beat up pretty bad by Mizutsune, but I kept fighting him and the fight was really enjoyable once I was able to recognize things and avoid them :) What even is a hitbox, right? Don't ask Capcom, they obviously don't know 😉😉 There's a cool video about some monster hunter roars and where they likely got the sound effects from (I can't find it 😢) I'm sure Narga has a bit of godzilla there 😉😉 I'm glad you stuck around for my videos! 😄😄 I really appreciate the support 😊😊😊

[@markistudio658]

Well you are wrong about him not getting knocked down when enraged you just have to match the timing I've tried it more than one time and the chance to get that timing is 6/10 times you should try it

[@HeadHunter455]

I'm assuming you're talking about using sonic bombs, I tested it and that's true, but it doesn't seem very practical since he's a lot faster. I have literally no idea what you're talking about with 6/10 times lol There's a lot I didn't know about when making this video, unfortunately, like how you can bait the long duration prowl by being far enough away from him. You can also do this when he's enraged, but the timing is super tight and what move he'll do isn't as predictable. When he's enraged, you can focus more on hitting him, rather than looking for a, now smaller, opening to use an item, unless you're using SNS or a weapon that is sheathed a lot like Greatsword I guess.

[@markistudio658]

@@HeadHunter455 I can agree with that.but I was just saying that your wrong about that that its not work.still you are correct about the point that that its pretty fast its a pain in the ass that how much correct your timing have to be for it to work.and its frustrating that when its work somethings I got blown aside by my own felyne comrade or somethings I am the one got knocked aside and because of the late getting up animation I mostly miss the chance to give even I single hit 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

I first fought Nargacuga in Portable 3rd. I am not bragging but the only time I got hit was from a....you guess it. A stupid Bullfango. Nargacuga never hit me. Not even once. So, for two weeks, I didn't climb. I was updating all my weapons. The problem was Wyvern Blade "Leaf" and I needed Rathian Plate. Two fucking weeks and I only got it yesterday. Bad luck sucks.

@@HeadHunter455 thanks man. Is the jump in difficulty from hr to g big like low rank to hr?

[@HeadHunter455]

np :) I'd say HR to G-Rank can be a little more dramatic than LR to HR, but it's very similar, for sure. G-Rank monsters have new moves, move faster, and have higher stagger limits meaning they'll be interrupted less. High rank monsters (at least in the guild hall) just have higher stats but are more or less the same as Low Rank ones. High rank village quests use the G-Rank movesets and speed, but use (singleplayer) High Rank stats. It's weird lol When you first go into it, it'll be rough like Low to High rank, but there's a lot of really useful equipment you can get to level the playing field 🙂

[@bloodykenshiro8218]

Nagacugo.... took me a moment to figure it out, not my proudest achievement... ahem. Anyway, it's a bit funny that I only retroactively learned that Narga was a gen 2 monster; I first fought it on Portable Third actually (my first game). I have an interesting personal tidbit to share about this monster. I got my nephew into Monster Hunter by playing P3rd near him, and he instantly fell in love with Narga's gear - he wanted the armor more than anything, but stubbornly wanted to fight it with a very puny set of armor. Even though I could hold my own against Narga, he obviously kept carting (and we obviously kept losing). It became a bit of a meme, but he's a pretty competent hunter now, able to fight toe to toe with the likes of Deviljho alone.

[@HeadHunter455]

oof haha, that's a nice story, I can understand that. Yeah, Nargacuga's a fan favorite and finds his way into most of the games tbh, it's cool seeing where monsters come from, like Zinogre from portable 3rd etc.

[@HeadHunter455]

Haha yeaah... getting the brain stem is an ordeal. If you're trying to make the narga weapons, you can upgrade them from tigrex weapons without the use of a brainstem. For the ranged and armor though you'll still need some T.T

What if it disappears or deviljho comes by and eats it 😔😉😉 6: 😄 7: 😉 8: 😄😄 no fruit too low hanging for me 😉😉 9: 😩😩 imagine if he was enraged 😱😱 10: 🤷‍♀️😉 11: 😩 12: 😉 It's pretty great, tbh if you want, it's a great idea to bring three pitfall traps for tons of free damage. It'll make the fight go by faster. 13: Yep! Broke the head, he gets a scar now 😣😣 14: 😩😩 15: 😅😅 16: lmao when I was doing test hunts he'd always just come swinging at me like BRO im BUSY here 😭😭 17: 😉 18: haha, one day, maybe 😅 19: I'm not sure actually, I wasn't able to find where he sleeps and see it 😓 lmao looking it up on the internet I found a thread asking what to do about it.

Thanks for the advice again i can't keep up on nargacuga's movements even his rage mode

Hey no problem, thanks for watching! 😄 You'll get the hang of it, it's a pretty fun fight after a while, you can do it! :)

[@Yuki-py2sy]

Thanks again

[@johnlecavalier6199]

Question: Say if I want to cut the tail, is it worth doing damage to its tail when it's not enraged so that it cuts off faster when it _is_ enraged? Or does it not work like that?

[@HeadHunter455]

Yes, I was going to say it somehow but the damage does build up even if he's not enraged. You can do something similar with Burrowing enemies, enemies like Diablos and Hermitaur etc that have burrow animations cannot die while burrowing, so if one is weak and you do a ton of damage to it, if you get a feel for it, you can kill it with a kick or a stone or something because it'll go down to 1 hp but not lower. That's how I killed Diablos in this video, lol: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoXceamGnM92a7c In the same way, if you deal a bunch of damage to Nargacuga's tail and get a feel for it, you can figure out when the next hit will cut it off, this may or may not be useful to interrupt an attack, but either way... tl;dr Yes, attack the tail, damage will build up, you can then cut it off easier when it's enraged.

[@ParthRastogi]

How are you locked into him? My camera is always focused somewhere else.

[@HeadHunter455]

You can tap the L button to move the camera behind your character, so you can face in one direction and then press L to snap to that direction Also, since I'm playing on PPSSPP, and on an Xbox controller, I bound the left and right camera movement to my right stick, which makes moving the camera a bit easier.

[@dietoro12]

From what page you look the hitzones? It's still accurate to next games like 4U or GEN? Thank you

[@HeadHunter455]

MHFU Hitzones: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/53339 There tend to be some differences between games, so I'd really recommend looking up hitzones for what game you're playing specifically, because you never know. Rajang's hitzones in MHFU are much different than the ones in MHWorld for example. For games like MH4U there's a couple of things I'd recommend, if you can/want to download a program onto your computer, Ping's dex is an incredible program; MH4U: sites.google.com/site/pingsdex/pingsmh4gdex MHGU: sites.google.com/site/pingsdex/pingsmhxxdex There are also good mobile apps to download, check on the google play store, or maybe the apple store? Can't speak for iOS but I know on android there are pretty good ones. If you don't want to download anything, go here instead: kiranico.com/ It's a wealth of information for MH3U, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX, MHGU, MH Stories, and MHWorld.

Fun boss to beat for the first time Frustrating to farm imo

Yeah, that's fair, especially when you need narga brain stems and heavenly scales with pretty low chances to get them 😭😭

[@hiroyukitokisaki5078]

I finaly understand what i frame is thanks Quick question dose rolling through the roar work for all monster? Also is gs effective in this fight

[@HeadHunter455]

Hey, so, you can't roll through all monsters roars unfortunately, but it works on most of them. A couple of examples is Khezu and Diablos. Even if you panic dive through them, you'll still be hit once the I frames wear off. Gs can work against Nargacuga but, as with any other fight with GS, you HAVE to have the fight figured out.

[@hiroyukitokisaki5078]

​@@HeadHunter455 how do I properly cut of nargacuga's tail😅

[@HeadHunter455]

Narga has to be enraged for it to be cut off, otherwise you'll just break it instead.

[@samvar2269]

i just kill him yesterday. and you do the tutorial :( why i didn't wait...

[@lightbrand_]

One thing I’ve noticed with narga is that most of the time you’re not really I-framing the attacks, at least the tail sweep and wing slams. I say that because the window to dodge them is far larger than your 7 frames of invincibility. My theory on that is that the hitbox of the move is actually pretty high up so that when you roll, your own hitbox gets low enough to just go under the attack, I’ve also not been hit by those attacks when just staying in shield with my lance because once again you squat a little bit when shielding which makes you go under it. Not to try to downplay anyone, just don’t get too cocky because you’ve dodged narga’s attacks, other monsters aren’t so well designed

[@HeadHunter455]

lol ok Nargas hitboxes are, for the most part, pretty clean, fortunately, so yeah, you can avoid some attacks by chance and by just standing in the right place, I have clips of that posted on twitter. However, I'm absolutely not rolling *under* the tail when he does the tail sweep. The tail and his wings have active hitboxes that move very fast, and if you were to crouch, to lower your hitbox, you'll still be hit by them because the hitboxes are larger than the model, like in most games. When attacks are only dangerous to you for a couple of frames, of which you can be invulnerable by rolling, they are easier/possible to dodge through, that's the case for plesioth's hipcheck as well. There are cases where I avoid the attacks by just not being hit by the hitbox, but people are definitely rolling through his attacks.
