On Sandy Plains, there's a handful of giant ant hills that you can ram into or destroy, and then open up quicksand traps that essentially work like a pitfall trap. It's anywhere on the map that shows a spiral.

Another thing to include: There are 4 sets of items in the starting box for a reason! Don't take more than your fair share, save some for people who might join after you.

[@MonoDree]

Yes but also, those same people that MIGHT join after you might never come. Saving some for someone who might or might no come is a waste of healing opportunities.

[@MonoDree]

@D. H. First come first serve. Get out of here if you have to worry about potions that they should have on thier person to begin with. You join late you don't get extra supplies, I think that's fair not greedy. 2 players start quest get 2 each 3 players start quest, 1 lucky person gets to have 2. 4 players equal share 1 random player who joins 1 minute later gets 1 if they are luck or nothing.

[@MyPupTobi]

@@MonoDree If you have join request on, all players get 1, plain and simple. Especially the rations. It’s really easy to make those 3 rations last an entire hunt, so I tend not to take meat. If I get into a map and there’s no meat, I’m immediately offput. Potions are a little more acceptable but it’s absolutely still scummy.

[@TheXtremeSS]

@@MonoDree By that logic, I could take everything at the beginning of the hunt and leave nothing for the others. You can't limit the number of players in the quest. If you SOS, 4 people can join the quest and if you create a lobby, people can still join the lobby and hunts. It's not a matter of waste. It's a matter of etiquette.

[@MonoDree]

@D. H. whatever floats your boat. All I know is that if you join late it doesn't matter since its the hosts quest. If you don't like it leave.

For the firs tip: If you don't care about the other monster's materials, you can slam the head 2-3 times depending on how much wirebugs you have then slam against the other monster. It doesn't drop extra materials but you did more damage to your target monster this way.

[@CiromBreeze]

You can do both! Hit it until the shinies drop, then do the 1-2-SLAM! It's better to use light attacks for this as heavy attacks generate too much gauge and you'll accidentally unlock the Finisher (putting you on a time limit)

The lack of sleep etiquette is the biggest problem I've encountered in almost all my online hunts

[@furretthefuzzynoodle3896]

Yeah as someone who plays great sword frequently watching those guys with dual blades literally wait for it to fall asleep then just slap it....

[@DemoTou]

I have 270 hours, only play online and i can count the amount of times people let everyone put bombs and let the strongest hitter wake them up on one hand... literally.

[@ino_mation]

Even tonight specifically hunting in an expedition with a friend who was using sleep weapon, just the two of us, throughout ten monsters, 1/4th of the time he got sleeps, I already had a move in progress, which would wake the monster. It's not entirely people ignoring, very frequently there's just something already in progress that wakes a monster right away. I was using Gunlance, this could be Hailcutter, Wyvernstake, Wyverns Fire, I also use Horn and my Magnificent Trio or Infernal Song may be the culprit, I also use SNS, my Perfect Rush may break it, my Shoryugeki, or any other of my falling attacks may break it. This was just me and my friend, and I knew he was using sleep, now add two more hunters, and assume all three don't know the 4th hunter is using sleep. It's just not always easy to stop an attack, and sometimes you get lucky and the monster doesn't wake, but I've had the exact same attacks both wake up and not wake up monsters who are in progress of falling asleep while being bashed upon.

[@NighttimeNubbs]

@@ino_mation I've notice it too but tend to be forgiving for stuff like that or especially stickies because those last long enough that they will go off after sleep.

Wow, I totally didn't know that there are some interactive environments like the lava burst and water burst spots in Lava Cavern!

Get to the editing screen (minus, x button) and choose a sticker 2. Write out the message in english (read tip below to emulate return key) 3. Switch to the 日本語 ローマ字入力 keyboard 4. Type in the romanized version of the Japanese (list at the bottom of this comment) 5. Click on the first autosuggestion thing, it’ll change some characters into chinese characters if necessary 6. Done! Tip: Because there’s no return/enter key, to emulate it press space until you reach the next line. Press delete once, and then the next word will be written on the next line.

"Be careful with wire fall. Take the fall you'll be invincible" Me- *dies in the middle of falling*

[@Gaehhn]

When he said "take the fall" he meant "stay down". While you're lying on the ground after taking a hit you're invincible for a while until you get up. You either get up after telling your character to move or after a certain time limit has expired. You can often avoid some high damage combos simply by getting knocked over by the first hit and not moving until the monster's finished.

[@lyubit9841]

@@Gaehhn adding to that, he kinda gives a surface General Rule but as time goes on and you get used to the monsters, it's more a question of using wirefall CORRECTLY rather than avoiding using it at all. against the Nargacuga double tail swipe for example, you can wirefall to the left or right and be relatively safe but pulling yourself TOWARDS narga is a death sentence.

I keep hearing "use the A button attack" when wyvern riding, but a good tip is that there are 2 A button attacks - a standard one and one if you hold Back+A. Sometimes the Back+A one is better in the situation or does more damage.

When a monster is asleep, aim to do a wake up attack on specific parts that have not, yet, been broken or severed. I find it funny sometimes when I severed off the monster’s tail while it was asleep to then wake up abruptly do the “aah my tail!” animation.

2 Tips : 1. If you have in the item list in the bottom right corner choosed a bomb and you start wyvernriding use your hunter a bomb, it's a bit free damage so use it if you can. 2. Use the time in that you can start the wyvern ride to sharpen your weapon and then ride the monster. And you have during the sharpen time to choose the bomb in the item list to use tip 1 without need extra time for choose bombs .

[@Qballiz2kool]

Man in here early! Staying up till about 4:00 am was worth it! And another thing, I’ve noticed that the etiquette for waking up a sleeping monster has basically taken a nose dive in Rise, so many people just smack the monster even though there’s a GS or Hammer in the group, like today I had a lbg user (of course because their everywhere) just shoot the monster to wake it up.

Does seem like a vast difference between those who are veterans, those coming from world and those just starting. Not to say there should be shame on those who try, but it can be a bit of an “oh dear,” when you see someone try it. At least for my hunt with the apex, I tossed down a trap while going solo just to confirm an apex wouldn’t spring the traps. But online? It tends to happen more times than I like to admit. More so those same people getting shortly carted because they thought the trap would have saved them... But elders? Everyone should know traps don’t work on those guys (but I see that happen a lot too sadly enough). That and people who try and trap a really pissed off Rajang.

Excellent video ! I've seen so many random players not knowing about some of the hidden mechanics, which makes sense since there're so many who are biginners to MH, but still a bit annoying tbh. You even taught me about the water breakable wall in Lava Caverns, i only knew about the lava one. One thing you should have added imo is the multiplier on the first hit when a monster sleeps. For those not aware, the very first hit on a sleeping monster has a damage multiplier. So if no one has bombs, but it there's a great sword, a gunlance or a charge blade in the party, let them wake up the monster with one of their powerful single hits (charge, SAED, wyvern fire, you name it) for big damage. Don't just throw dual blades combo randomly on the monster, because only the very first hit has that sweet multiplier.

[@joshn2664]

Extra tip: If you are a Greatsword user, when a monster goes into the mountable state- instead of just pressing a or doing a normal attack to get on the monster quickly, charge up a level 3 charge and smack it on the head (or another part you're trying to break) this will let you get in some more damage while initiating wyvern riding. If you are feeling really spicy you can use Power Sheathe > redraw your weapon (don't hit yet) > then Adamant charge for a really beefy smack to a weakspot. You instantly regenerate all your wirebugs when you start the wyvern riding so don't worry about the wirebug usage. Thanks for all the great tips Gaijin Hunter!

Good tips. For someone that has been playing Monster Hunter for generations it common sense, but not everyone has the same experience, so it is appreciated to spread the information to newcomers.

[@DaBachela]

Also, when wyvern riding use evade right after an attack to cancel the rest of the animation and almost immediately attack again. Back and Strong attack does a different attack as well

[@Dw7freak]

Here's another tip for sleeping. If you're using Palicos or Palimutes while hunting and the monster goes to sleep, make sure to have them wait. They love smacking a sleeping monster awake, either because they want to or because a small monster is under them. To make them wait: sheath your weapon, press left or right on the d-pad until you get to the wait command, then press up or down on the d-pad while still sheathed. Your pet will go into a sitting position until you issue another command. If the only pet you brought was a Palimute, you could also ride it for a similar effect, you just can't place bombs or traps while riding.

[@superscatboy]

Also, when a monster is sleeping, give everyone a chance to sharpen, reload, or craft coatings/ammo before setting off the bombs or going for the big wake-up hit.

[@Momochan144528]

This!!!! It gives everyone a breather and to get ready for their next attacks.

[@mikes9767]

Great video - Here's my 2 cents You can craft demon drug and armor skin (or the mega versions), they give you attack and defense boosts that last the entire hunt (or till you cart). There are other craft craftables that give you temporary boosts too that are worth checking out.

[@HunterForHire422]

I honestly get so wrapped up into the fight i almost never use traps, flash bombs, etc.

[@diegomolinaf]

Adding to the video advice. You should always have one wirebug available to do a wirefall when fighting some monsters. If magnamalo catches you it will throw you up in the air and, when you fall, you will received by the explosión of his purple gas clouds which will probably cart you. Don't let that happen. Wirefall away!

[@meikahidenori]

Also some players especially those coming from GU who might turn that menu off.

I accidentally woke one up with my wyrmstake once...

[@propheticrain-maker1486]

It happens. People will forgive you 😄 I think that point was targeting those who wake the monster purposefully with a weak attack, for some reason.

[@brianwaterman8185]

Thanks for that tip about yeeting the quest monster instead of using the finisher. That will be super helpful! Great tips!

[@g0t3nks]

When you headbang one monster into another, you have enough time to do a combo on the one you dismount before hopping onto the second one. Hammer users can do an entire impact crater on monster 1's head before mounting monster 2! And LS users can land then do drawn double slash into a spirit combo to go up a level before mounting monster 2. I keep seeing people rush to mount the second monster instead of taking advantage of the several free seconds to either sharpen and eat or get some big damage.

[@Backinmywhey]

I love the part when your beating each other showing the flinch. Was enjoyable to watch. Me and my brother do that to each other after we finish a hunt.

[@DocDoesGamingTV]

Checking whether my etiquette is still up to snuff hahaha

[@KahlevN]

In regards to wyvern riding, it’s important to know how the various ways to finish a fight influence who stays and who leaves after it’s over. It basically comes down to who ends up bound up by silkbind threads when the fight is over. Toppling a monster into a wall will end up with them being the one tethered up, and doing the mounted finisher will tether up the monster that is the victim of the finisher. So if you want to the quest monsters to be the one to stick around, make sure that if you’re riding it last, that you topple it into a wall after getting the shines from the other monster (IE Do NOT use mounted finisher with the quest monster), and if you’re riding the non-quest target last make sure to use the mounted finisher at the end, as it will bind the quest monster and the non-quest one will leave after the fight is over. Also, pay attention to how much bar you are gaining from each attack, and when attacking the quest monster with a random one, try to stop before the final attack that will put you into mounted finisher state. Use that time to run away and wait for all your wirebugs to refresh, then trigger the finisher. This will allow you to use the wirebug dodge to cancel 2-3 more heavy A attacks on the quest monster before doing the finisher, thus increasing the amount of damage (and downed time) against the quest monster.

Also, the perfect time to use trap outside capturing is when you see them drooling or exhausted. This will extend the duration of them being trapped.

Oh yeah, also, don't always capture monsters is a big thing I want more people to know. Capturing may increase drop chance on some materials, but it straight up locks you out of others that can only be carved.

[@Stratelier]

Honestly, about my favorite thing to do in a hunt when a second monster shows up is to just go straight for launching both monsters into each other, which nails down both of them for a bit.

[@Ramotttholl]

if they cap without a reason.. i just use the NO! sticker. and i don't like the hunters. because we should not reward people for cutting the hunt short and get less rewards unless there is a good reason.. like ran out of carts.

[@Gurgamo]

I only played MHW but I remember being months into playing and STILL learning new tips/strategies/etiquette.

[@JohnSmith-tg5li]

I'm probably the only one who's upset with this, but I miss the times when strangers could manage to play together, and work around each other, resulting in an actually pleasant time. You really shouldn't be encouraging the use of brace. You should be encouraging people learning to play around their team mates. At the moment it's just resulting in a mindless stabbing at monsters, where your party just doesn't really have anything to do with it anymore. It's laziness like this that just encourages a degradation in engagement with fellow hunters, and that makes me sad. I miss games where engagement was at the forefront. Be it engagement in person, or engagement in the halls. Folk are probably gonna disagree with my assessment, and fair enough, but I'm really not looking forward to the future of MH if this is how we're encouraging playing with others. You probably won't change the recommendation, but I'd really love if you started encouraging people to think of their party and engage with their party, instead of putting a band aid in the form of a brace jewel over a lack of communication or understanding. I get there are new players, and they might not know their position, or how to work with their party, but it's people like you who could help with that, by creating guides on it, instead of just going "Use brace because it stops you being tripped". I can't remember a time where I was tripped noticeably in the older games, but since world released and brought it to the main stream (not necessarily bad overall, but it has definitely had some harmful effects on the game in a few areas (like community in halls)) I've been tripped constantly, even when going out of my way to stick to my position. Would really appreciate it if you started trying to address it properly, instead of teaching people its okay to trip party mates because they should have been running brace.

[@Momochan144528]

This is definitely a nice different perspectives I have not seen someone said yet. I can see it being a huge problem but not necessarily a deal breaker (for now). Though it's really hard to chat in the game and the hunt seems to go way too fast in the online that I found the temporary solution from flinch is the brace itself since you can't communicate fast enough with others (thanks to my chubby thumbs lol). But like you said, I think creators should start showing a way how to counter or an etiquette in a hunt about who is who should do their dmg or repositioning, etc. so that we don't get flinch in the team instead of saying to get brace. I only knew about these because I have actual friends who are a monhun veterans which not everyone has. New players wouldn't know this unless someone like their friend, a veteran or youtubers starts teaching them these. I don't use braces myself because I already learned how to position myself but I do put them on when doing solo online because *sweats* I hope these hunters will learn to manage their weapons soon.

[@TheMornom]

Great tips as usual thanks! One tip I figured is that the game have touch feature! Indeed, it is possible to select the icon of a monster by touching it on the screen insteed of pressing the R joystick.

[@jpxboxdstation]

Thank you GH for making this video, I already shared it in the Chilean MH community for all the new hunters, I personally knew and apply almost all of this already thanks to all the time since I started playing MH, but even I didn't knew the lava caverns gimmick spots, I've sure to take advantage of them in my next hunts

[@Extra_Onions]

i'd add one thing to the slamming the monster into another monster bit - if you are mindful of your positioning when putting the "other" monster down you can not only ram into him but do a ricochet-ram. step 1- ram the monster you're riding into a wall step 2- dodge as usual (optional step - repeat if you're comfortable with a double/tripple ricochet) step 3- target the other monster step 4- ram the other monster not only it does more damage in total but looks aewsome as well

[@koolkat991]

I'm super proud of myself that I do all of this intuitively as if it were just 2nd nature.. I started with World and dove very far into learning as much as I possibly could about this franchise (and I still learn more all the time!). I love Monster Hunter so much! Very cool that you and Yuna have a bond over MH, I'm trying to get my 12yr old brother into it more and whenever I listen to the podcast and he hears you talk about Yuna doing something he is very interested because they're similarly aged. He thinks she is a great hunter :) Thanks for the content Gajin! 🙂

Bonus tip for 7:30 if you hit L(?) and bring up the radial menu, you can actually sharpen your weapon while it's out

[@taterman1234]

Evade Extender is a super useful skill. Not only does it increase the range of your roll/dodge, it will increase the range of the evasive dive you do by pressing B after clinging to a wirebug mid-air (A Button). Also you can cling to a wirebug in mid-air. Does not cost a wirebug it's just free real estate. So, a speedy way to get around is while sliding down a slope, roll so that you do a little hop, hit A mid-air, then hit B to use that evasive dive. Again, Evade Extender helps this be a quicker way to get around.

[@alexparker3613]

I have a daughter I hunt with too. She started at 9 n she's 10 now. We mainly just did squad work as I know and trust the players. They could not believe her age. They thought she was late teens. Then they hear this little voice saying "going for the mount" "sleep. SLEEP!" etc with her awareness and coordination being off the charts. I even made a 2nd character and full deco farmed once more so she had a female counter part so we could wear matching outfits. That's love right there. Starting a 2nd toon 😬 Answering SOS calls saying "Daddy, this poor hunter has been fighting for 30mins, let's help them quick!" Then we would turn up both using hammers in sync. Not just wake ups either although that's sweet when 2 hammers hit simultaneously for a wake up. So they're struggling, down 2 faints, 10 mins left. When two characters in the same layers often doing the same moves from same position turn up to save someone's day. Was awesome. She's yet to get into rise. But she's gonna have a go this weekend 🙂

[@CantApproach]

This is pretty minor but I really liked it: in the sandy planes there are some zones where there are giant cannon like insects, if you hit them (with a kunai for example) while a monster is in the area, they will start attacking the monster. Essentially free damage!

[@sir_coma60]

I have a quick tip in Lava Caverns. Left side of the map, go to subcamp1, right side use subcamp2. The huge sliding area in Lava caverns makes it super fast to navigate the lava caverns. This also means u can transport account items without being interrupted by Large monsters, so pick up that optional subquest and get ur free silver/gold eggs!

[@ilovemonkeyos]

Two other tips: 1) You CAN make custom Sticker shoutout sticker messages in one of the two custom sets! Good to edit those for use for communication (albeit very shorthand and limited). 2) Wirebugs actually recharge faster by a few seconds if you use the base ZL+X / ZL+A movement instead of the ZL+ZR movement. Great for faster catching up with a retreating monster (for those of you without a Palamute) and moving around in general (either around the map or even around the monster).

A tip I feel needs to be made known is about enabling join requests when posting lobby quests. It lets people from outside the lobby fill the player slots, so when someone enters the lobby and tries to join the quest in progress, they can't because 3 other people joined via a join request already.

[@kayeka4123]

Another thing about Wyvern Riding: use the X button attacks as well. I find that you can often "combo" an X attack into an A attack if you experiment a little because of their short recovery time. This allows you to get more attacks off in the time you are giving, especially when you cancel out the longer A animations with your wirebugs. If you use only A attacks, you often find yourself stuck in a very long recovery animation when you run out of wirebugs with still a lot of time on the clock.

[@LordKuroNeko]

About using Flinch Free level 1: keep in mind that while having it equipped you can still be knocked back by big attacks such as Switch Axe's Compressed Finishing Discharge, Greatsword's backslice (X+A), Hunting Horn's Earthshaker (ZL+A unless you use Bead), Gunlance's Wyvern Fire, blue stance Hammer level 2 charge and if I'm not mistaken even Sword and Shield' Shoryugeki, these moves can kill/save your teammates in many scenarios (except for paralysis, that I'm not so sure of as we almost never get paralyzed), I hope this info can be helpful in your future hunts!
