[MHP3rd] How to use the Greatsword

[@Redfly214]

fun weapon when you get the hang of it. hard not to play when you promis your self to use another weapon in a new mh game

[@larszen24]

This is literally my problem eversince maining GS on my first MH game, it's hard to try other weapons when you always get flashbacks when you see that window for charge attack everytime you hunt monsters

[@Redfly214]

@@larszen24 try playing lance after maining GS. took me a solid 20 hunts to get the hang of the pokey stick

[@krouronii8867]

Good thing i started out with learning 3 weapons when i first got introduced into the series in rise sunbreak now o have at least 150 to 200+ hunts with every other weapon with switchaxe being my most used weapon.

In my opinion critical draw is a great armor skill to have if you use GS. If your draw attack is a level 3 charged attack then needless to say "THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE".

[@randomystrangery9730]

Not the hottest of takes. The addition of focus and crit draw flanderized the GS into being the Chargesword.

[@Reap3r4665]

@@randomystrangery9730 I agree most people focus on the charged attacks. But What I meant was that charge attacks do a lot of damage with crit draw and that having that skill means you do more damage per hit on normal uncharged attacks as well so the skill is versatile in my opinion.

[@Dashmax]

I currently finally achieved the state I want to be in MHP3rd, which is have endgame gear with the skills and talismans I want, all getting the best outcomes for GS. And for some reason, after almost 7 hours of grinding to unlock Alatreon with my friends, this pops up in my feed, reminding me where I first started to learn the basics. You are my hero in my early MH days

[@HeadHunter455]

Haha, hey that's awesome to hear! You've truly come a long way, and I'm glad I could be a part of your journey 🙂 Thanks for watching, here's to many more good hunts in the future! 😁

[@GeneralIVAN894]

I love the feeling of knowing that a triple charge can stop an enemy’s charge and make them flinch for a sec besides helping with cutting and crushing monster parts

[@R2Firsadi]

what is triple charge ?

[@GeneralIVAN894]

@@R2Firsadi there are 3 levels for charge for the great sword, doing more damage the more you charge, sometimes even enough to stunn or stagger a monster

[@bumblebee-xj9ce]

I'm new to the monster hunter series and I used too main hammer until the part where a urgent quest to kill rathian appeared, it was so hard to kill with a hammer, so I searched in mhp3 wiki how to beat rathian and it somehow led me here, and your video helped me kill rathian with a Greatsword, you deserve a sub and a notification for helping me kill a fire-breathing poisonous flying lizard that backflips.

[@HeadHunter455]

Oh wow haha, thank you! I really appreciate that. I'll definitely be covering every unique monster and key quest in MHP3rd eventually, but I'm super happy to hear that this helped you out against Rathian! 😄 Keep it up, thanks for watching, and thanks for the sub and turning on notifications!! 😄

Every GS main knows the disappointment charged slash

[@HeadHunter455]

Yeah 😭😭😭 The satisfaction of landing one is equal to the disappointment of missing one haha

[@rodnie3903]

yknow the level of embarrassment you felt when you're so confident charging your greatsword on a stationary nargacuga knowing it's gonna hit straight to the dome and right when you're about to unleash the pain , suddenly the b!tch just sidesteps it and now YOU'RE in pain.

[@HeadHunter455]

😭😭 Yeah, I do 🤧🤧 haha, I feel like anyone who uses GS for more than like 10 minutes can relate 😭

[@za_arto]

Early TL,DR since it may get confusing to read: I love your tutorials and wish to see Dual Blades next. Damn, this takes me like 7 years back (when I was around 10 y.o) with my PSP 2000 which had MHFU and MHP3rd with English. I remember maining Dual Blades specifically on the latter and GS + LS on the former, but when I revisited the game after you reminded me of it, I lost all muscle memory (except for painful arthritis due to what the lack of a second analog stick has done to me). I remember being proficient with it and even reached the big sand whale desert quest whose name I can't remember off the top of my head, however currently, I'm faced with some *skill issues* trying to relearn it unlike other classes I main (Ls-Gs-Lance) however there isn't that sense of uncomfort with this game's DB unlike ALL other games even if it's downright similar (not sure if I used stamina related items lol, I was stupid back then + I didn't understand the skill system and just equipped whatever had more defense and an example I vividly remember was Diablos' set in FU)

[@HeadHunter455]

Hey I'm glad to hear it 😊 I'll be doing LS next and then Dual Blades. And hey, picking an armor for its defense and/or looks is just as valid as using them for armor skills :P Thanks for watching! Glad I could bring ya back 🙂

Yay it's time for my dearest favorite, the Great Sword. It is a demanding mistress, but rewards those loyal to her incredibly. I love that contrary to its brutish looks, it is a supremely mental weapon that forces you to learn the fundamentals both of the games themselves and each hunt.

You have to be super familiar with the monster's movement to use the GS effectively. In the meantime I just used SnS to demolish a volvidon and it feels good with evade extender

[@Lormingo16]

TCS is cool but that classic draw slash style is undefeated

[@JanusHoW]

Man, I miss old Great Sword. It was so simple. You waited for an opening, you drew into a Charge Slash, smacked the monster, sheathed, rinse and repeat. Valor Great Sword in Generations was it's peak.

Oof Well I encourage you to not give up! I know that's gotta be painful though :(

[@duwaigimang1725]

I just started playing this game yesterday, i think greatsword is kinda newbie friendly for how big the damage is with much simpler gameplay mechanics, super fun to play

[@HeadHunter455]

If you can figure out you're meant to sheathe your weapon after attacking, yeah, but not everyone understands that immediately lol Just doing draw attacks can get you pretty far though, for sure. Personally, SNS always felt so weak, and GS always felt so slow. I know better now, but I couldn't use either of em when I started out.

[@mylsnarciso4266]

Hi. I'm currently new to the mh3rd as I've just finished MHFU. I just wanna ask if there's a lower damage if you charge the GS for so long?

[@HeadHunter455]

Hey, yes there is, I go over the charged attack at 3:20 If you over charge you'll go from Level 3 back to Level 2

[@Gloryboyquan]

​@@HeadHunter455really ??? do u know if this also applies to mhfu I'm GS main Haven't played P3rd Yet cause I'm still playing fu does this over charge also set u back to level 2 in fu ??

[@rexaredim]

Need encouragement to fight to fight kushala daora in fu. No matter what I do can't seem to get over my fear of elder dragons. Help me pls 🙏🏿😭

[@HeadHunter455]

I remember being pretty spooked by new monsters in general, Kushala included. The music is really good IMO, and all Elder Dragons in the game have some sort of strategy that will make it much easier and actually pretty fun. For Kushala you need a long enough weapon to consistently stagger him (and flash bombs), Longsword is good, Greatsword is good. You can do it! His weapons and armor are also pretty good in general and if you use Bow or Greatsword it has Focus on it which will make you charge up faster. I think it works on Hammer too, but I don't know. I believe in you! 😄 It's okay to fail, but you should throw yourself at it, that will help you feel better about it and more confident in your future hunts with them. If you can play with others that can help a lot too. Keep it up! You got this!

[@rexaredim]

@@HeadHunter455 thanks a lot 🙏🏿. I really appreciate the work you put into your videos. I found your channel when I didn't understand how to play the game (MHFU) and have stuck since cause of how detailed it is. Alright tonight I fight kuhala!!!

[@JohnnyCasey]

I heard there were a lot of heated debate going on between people when MHW was released and how it changed GS.

[@HeadHunter455]

Maybe. I think 5th gen was so good for GS. Tackle is such an awesome move. Being able to force your way into an opening feels awesome. But I guess it could also make it feel like less care was required. Given that 5th gen also added a third charge level, I think it was more or less required, some way to get to or use the TCS otherwise GS wouldve just been nerfed with nothing to balance it.

[@happytuna7275]

To me, greatsword is a mid difficulty weapon. It just feels natural and balanced

[@HeadHunter455]

Yeah it's a great weapon with a pretty high skill ceiling 🙂 Once I figured out to sheathe after every attack, it was over 😌
