Clearing Shen Gaoren as a kid after failing multiple times was so damn satisfying.

I would love that! I've never fought Shen because I didn't have this game, and it would be awesome to experience it with better graphics!👍🏾

@TG_ Swan they could rework it so much better cuz of the wire bug mechanics. This also leaves room for good aerial battles and a possible dalamadur fight

@@phallenferret8695 I wish siege fights returns to Rise too!

[@BerndosMusic]

Oh gosh, I "perfected" this hunt back in the day.. I tried to optimize every canon ball I got, knew the leg movement, attacks & positions in and out and basically tried to speedrun the thing without taking damage. I had the armor and everything so I don't even remember why, probably just for the sake of it. x)

[@dELTA13579111315]

I used to do the same with Lao Shan Lung lol. It was to the point where if I didn't trigger the final stage by the end of the 1st area ( I think it was the 1st area, might've been the 2nd. It's been like 10 years since the game was stolen) I was doing a bad job. I must've killed close to a hundred of them throughout my time playing FU

[@wolffang6320]

this monster has one of the most epic themes of all the siege battles in monster hunter, let me know if you agree also i like that Shen didn't give a damm at 5:55

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

*gets hit by the Dragonator* Shen Gaoren : didn't flinch Shen Gaoren : Listen here, you little shit!

[@JanusHoW]

I think it might be because the Dragonator missed. It tends to happen more than you think. Then again, we'd know for sure if the older games showed damage numbers like they do in the 5th gen games. It has its pitfalls, but it's really nice to know exactly how effective your attacks actually are beyond either mere guesswork. It also makes some hits really satisfying, especially with Rise's Splitting Wyvernshot - basically the Demolisher from the 4th generation, but you can aim it. Or seeing how your damage is multiplied by TEN under Counter Gong.

[@Soulless-x4k]

​@@JanusHoW If that didn't hit, nothing hits.

[@blockomaniac]

i think you can fight rusted kushala in area 2, when that time comes edit: and for gunners, something neat you can do (iirc) is shoot piercing shots at the shell (aka the lao skull) and they will go through and hit a weak spot inside of it.

[@eusouguriaaleatoria]

Man, your mh tutorials always help me so much. When I first played mhfu, I remember I got "walled" at the congalala mission and then I just gave up, but now that I came back to it, I learned that watching a few tutorials really does help :D And now Shen...In my first attempt, time ran out. I didnt really know what the hell to do to this f*cker. Second attempt, I had already analyzed your video a bit, managed to repel him, and man how happy I was. I decided I wanted to try killing him. I came back to your video and learned his walking pattern. Killed the beast with dual blades and less than a min left. Honestly, if it wasn't for you, I dont think I'd have gotten so far, since your videos are so detailed. Thanks :D

[@HeadHunter455]

That is awesome to hear! I'm so glad my videos are having a positive effect in your experience with MHFU, keep it up! I remember being stuck a few times in MHFU, Khezu and Kirin especially, and when I'd look up videos there weren't really the type that I wanted to see or would've helped me, so I wanted to make videos now that would've helped me then 🙂 Thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment! 😊

As a hammer/db main I found your gameplay pretty useful. I went with dead revolver, snow monke set and AuL kitchen buff, did the same thing: triple pound legs most of the fight. Just after using the dragonator for 2nd time, 5 min left and losing hope I could kill it that run, the big ass crabby went down after triple pounding a leg. Thx

[@HeadHunter455]

Thanks :) Good job!! 😄😄

The one I use and recommend is called PPSSPP, here's a link if that would interest you: www.ppsspp.org/ It's a great emulator in general, dunno if I've used another that is as stable as this one, in my experience of course.

[@winterdoggo]

Hey thanks a lot for the video! I really like the way you edited it ^^ I've just got to this quest, and one of my issues was that the game doesn't tell you much beyond "hi the town is dying". I wasn't entirely sure where I should be attacking or whether ballistas or cannons are worth it or when to use the dragonator etc. etc. (and also if attacking the pincers was part of the reddening thing? it's not, whoops) so with all the experimenting I actually did worse on my second try. Now I understand the fight better I'll hopefully have an easier time :o (It's a very very cool fight though)

[@HeadHunter455]

Hey no problem! I'm glad you like it 🙂 Yeah this quest (and Lao-Shan Lung) can be pretty daunting for a few reasons. I hope your future fights with the big lads go better! 😃 Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Rathadude]

Maybe slightly off topic but do you have any tips for Stygian Zinogre in MH3U? I just did the souls of darkness quest where you fight two in the tundra and managed to complete it with 5 minutes left but it was insanely difficult and tedious. When I looked at his hitzones his literal only good ones are his head and back and his head feels harder to hit in 3U. Fade slash with Longsword won't even reach it and that's one of the main things I incorporate into my combos 😤 His homing bugs are also annoying because it's hard to keep track of them and Stygian Zinogre at the same time.

[@martiano13bros]

It would be cool if they did a redux of this monster but have you do little to no damage to its actual head and body, but have it so you have to topple him 2 or 3 times and when he falls his shell does some insane damage to it because it falls on him

[@firhanhutama6394]

Hello, im wondering, do you need quake resist to face him? Or just the ol' garuga set with mask is good enough?

[@HeadHunter455]

Hey, it depends on what weapon you're using. If you have proper spacing and take advantage of staggering him before he hits the wall each time, you'll do fine. Quake Resistance is just for convenience and a recommendation for newer players. Also, by Garuga Set, I'm assuming you mean Azure Rathalos with the Garuga Mask to get AuL and HGE, because the Garuga Set in low rank isn't really that good, Reckless Abandon benefits from having a higher base attack value, which you don't really get until later in the game, not to say it's not a decent skill, just that it's, technically, mathematically worse than AuL until a certain ATP breakpoint.

Oof, Teostra is tough! Try not to get discouraged. There's a reason I avoided fighting him for my guide playthrough :/ I'll try and figure something out for the elders in G-Rank, because it just seems right for me to cover them at least there lol But you want to try and hit his head, doing it enough times will cause him to topple over. If you can't do it very well with your current weapon, try another one. I'd recommend Longsword or Hammer in particular, but anything can work.

[@HeadHunter455]

Hey, great to hear mister federal bureau sir. If you're able to move your game saves over to a phone or desktop or laptop, sufficiently secured against external attack, of course, you may be able to play it on the PPSSPP emulator, which you can run through a variety of scans to ensure the safety of installation, it's also open source, meaning you can read through the code yourself, haha, jokes, I know, just get the interns to do it. I am unsure as to how that process of data transfer works, but through your many intelligence networks I'm sure you can find an adequate answer to that. Anyways, through use of that emulator you could use OpenVPN, another open source program, to play on the public server "Hunsterverse", I understand that it being public may or may not be a matter of national security, as I believe the goal is to *privatize* absolutely everything on the planet, however, this seems to be the best course of action regarding play with others over the internet. Here are some links, for your consideration: www.ppsspp.org/ hunstermonter.net/hunsterverse_new.php Thanks again for your visit, I appreciate the view 🙂

[@zacksilverstone7642]

Just finish trying this mission with a Great Sword and a Heavy BowGun. Both failed, but not gonna lie, it was fun shooting a giant carapaceon with explosive upon explosive. Too bad I'm broke as shit, because I'm a GS-main, and I don't really have a special armour aside for range battle. Which one is more effective in your opinion, targeting the bottom of the monster, where all the legs are connected, or just blast the thing in the face with Crag and the other exploding ones? Now, I'm aiming for the Rock Launcher, the one that burst fire the heavy ammunition, just to satisfy my boom addiction. Those poor, poor Basarios. They're as good as dead.

[@HeadHunter455]

If you need money, I'd say hunt something that you're good at fighting and don't need the materials for anything, then just sell all of the materials at the end of the hunt (except maybe rare stuff) also just sell monster materials from your item box, I do it a lot lol I've seen pretty good results with piercing shots to the shell, since the weak spot for Shen is under his shell, and you can hold a LOT more pierce shots than you can crag and clust shots. I'd say try and get a better GS maybe? Or try using the hammer and armor that I did, but HBG can work as well, check out some other videos. If I can maybe I'll cover using HBG against Shen Gaoren sometime. Good luck!

@@HeadHunter455 Using hammer 🔨 against the siege monsters are the best choice because they ignore you anyways.

[@honeybunny244]

I’m having a bit of difficulty defeating this boss as I’m not much of a hammer user. I can use the bow, bowgun or even a heavy bowgun, but the hammer just seems off to me. Is the great sword also a viable option or not?

[@HeadHunter455]

Greatsword is okay, but his feet won't really stay still long enough to do a level 3 charge, not without focus I think. A pierce heavy bowgun or a dragon bow will do fine, there's a strategy that involves shooting through his shell to hit his weak spot. You can check out my shen videos with bow for more specifics.

[@honeybunny244]

I only have the ravager blade for now and I can work with not doing the full charge, but maybe a level 2 charge. I’m still new since this game was downloaded on my psp for me with a memory card, but this is the most fun I’ve had, just need to know how to best this monster. I’m also more of a gunlance, greatsword, longsword and bow and arrow user. Will a good bow do the trick too?

[@nicrovender2962]

@@sheendonderricklampaya5464 My mistake, I think I was referring to the bows. What I meant to say was I can't decide what bowgun to stick to, I was planning on buying only 1 bowgun(one light, one heavy I guess) ever since I found out I can only modify(mod) a bowgun instead of improving it to make it look cooler. I was also quite disappointed with the damage output of my bowgun(the first one given to the player) after I modded it, I guess it was heavily dependent on the type of ammos used(I'm too lazy to make them since they run out easily and I'm saving money).

[@XDblackdragon]

For the people who don't know this fact, you can break Shen Gaorens back (The Lao Shan Lung Skull) two times I think? And MAYBE his 2 front Claws but with this fact I'm really not sure, I'm only sure with his breakable back.

Well you're in luck, it takes a minute to set up but works pretty well: hunstermonter.net/hunsterverse_new.php You need to play it through PPSSPP though, but that's more good than bad IMO. You can find people to play and chat with on their discord server as well. You could join mine too if ya like but you'll definitely have more discussion and gameplay in the hunstermonter discord lol, mine is just for my channel.

You can, but the game doesn't tell you when it's ready again. I don't know what the cooldown is though :/ a video I watched said you can use the "10 minutes left!" Message as a sort of sign for when it's usable again, and they did use it twice in the video but yeah

I fought Shen in G-Rank and make good use of trying to stagger him before he hits the town. Remember you don't need to kill him as much as just survive. Either one will work.
