I rlly like that this video includes like-- just little multiplayer "manners" tips too? It can be hard to know that stuff when getting into a new online game & its almost never included in beginners' guides!

[@nikkoa.3639]

As a beginner, it's hard to know what to do and what not to do so I get some anxiety in how I should act and thus never play multiplayer, so hearing these tips really help guide me in what I should try to do and I love it.

[@legendarytat8278]

Don't trip other hunters Don't hurt other hunters with bombs or toads Let other people pick quests, instead of picking every time Avoid wasting too much time Try to cooperate Try to inform other hunters of what you're doing using chat functions Don't judge other hunters if they perform badly

[@emarceeqem4715]

Another extremely important multiplayer manner I wish more people would have in mind: Depending on the monster, observant players will either prefer to capture or even specifically *kill* certain monsters. Either because cap rewards are better, or because carve rewards are better for them. If a player says "Cap ready." Then cease fire, because the monster is limping and further damage risks killing it. If a player requests you kill the monster, then do not capture it for them, because you're taking away their opportunity to get a carve they might need.

waaait a minute, you can ride your dog mid-combat and sharpen your weapon while riding around? This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in a game

[@polygon]

it's SO USEFUL

[@chastermief839]

One of my favorite additions to this game. In MHW stopping to sharpen your weapon every 5 minutes was a pain in the ass. Now its super easy to slip away during a fight or do it while youre moving between areas. Letting us use items while on the Palamute has been a huge improvement for the flow of the game, you never feel like you're wasting time or stalling.

[@null_9689]

In Rise you can sharpen while riding doggo, In world you can cancel sharpen animation by rolling (you can still do this in Rise), in older game you are stuck in sharpen animation once you use whetstone

[@killerpalkia]

@@chastermief839 you know you could do a prototype ver of palamutes in mhw also right... If you use the tailrider you can do everything you can do on palamutes. Just need to set a path on the map rather than manually riding

[@glaze5005]

The wirebug also a great addition. Being able to get back up after getting by monster and run away is sooo helpful

To be fair Palmut would make more sense (in American English) that it would look like Pal Mutt. But Palamut not only doesn't have two t's, Pala is just a strange word to the English language so we default to the weirdest pronunciation because it's a weird word. Pal-a-Mutt is just a strange and not user friendly word. Doesn't translate well

[@ErdingerLi]

@@user-dm7ui6zx2u nobody's gonna agree with you on this LS main LOL JK. On a side note i do hope they change the LS and SA horizontals to not trip anyone at all, we know LS has great damage output, but i really hope at least they acknowledge that other players paid the same for the game and want to enjoy other weapons (I've switched to main HBG and GL now so i no longer have issues with LS mains, but i was initially a SnS main and getting tripped mid-combo can be quite infuriating.) Yet, that tripping mechanic was initially (pre-MHW) left there so that we can hit someone off of stun or sleep. It's now more of an annoying relic since players don't actually help each other out anymore

[@ErdingerLi]

@@user-dm7ui6zx2u well i actually do think LS or whatever slicing damage mains should really focus on prioritizing the severable parts of a monster before anywhere else before moving onto the head, especially if we have an impact main in the team. But tbh, it's not really so much of a deal right now since monsters die so easily that we have to put that statement up that says impact mains don't have priority over the head, when in fact that is the case, since that is their de facto part of the monster to put any significant damage or benefit to the hunt as a whole, slicing damage users can always use the downtime of a monster to try and sever a tail or something you know what i mean? I don't see it as being selfish to leave the head to an impact user, more of accomodating towards the hunt as a whole, which have been nerfed so much that hunting a monster no longer gives someone as much of an accomplishment than one should have had earlier.. maybe I'm just babbling i guess

I can say one thing as a newbie, (I've done quick forays into the old 3DS games) that the MH community has been soooo incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful to new players. I used to get a lot of "git gud" from other online communities unless it was made clear that I was a grill and then it was completely other kinds of unwanted "help". MH has been soooo welcoming and helpful in a genuine way and I love it and just hope one day I git gud enough that I can help the next newbies. Don't be scared to jump right in. Dont hang back and don't be afraid to ask for advice. It's just a game and it's so much fun.

I have been wanting to get into monster hunter rise for some time but couldn't do it. It was all overwhelming. So glad I found this video very too the point and not a bunch extra crap to overwhelm a beginner. Before this video I thought the hub was the only place to get quests so I was handicapping myself from the start. Seriously well done.

[@skiafraylalnasache]

Another tip: Watch your Zenny. It's essentially the currency needed to buy things at the shop. There are also Points, which do the same thing, but for different shops such as the Argosy exchange/Buddy dojo/Meowcenaries. Both Zenny and Points can be used to pay for the meals at the canteen. And Zenny is used at the smithy for upgrading/forging Armor and weapons. Both can be earned by doing quests, but during the early game, It can be quite difficult to manage your Zenny. There are certain items which their only purpose is to be sold(steel/silver/gold/platinum eggs, The various ores that you can buy for points at the argosy's rare finds, etc...) the KZbinr GaijinHunter has a tutorial on how to make Zenny super fast.

[@Azel222]

 ❦ May I let you in on a little secret or hack. You can take advantage of the programming for the monster attacks, by dodging to the opposite direction when the monster first initiates its attack stance, as the monster is locked in either left or right, based on which side you initially were. (Unless it’s a STAB/SPEAR attack- more on that later..) anyways, imagine a line separating the two halves of the monster, if your on the right side, for example when it initiates it’s stance, quickly dodge to the right, as you’ll be perfectly safe, as the attack will be locked onto that side until it’s attack is over. Same for opposing side. For STABBING/SPEAR attacks (You add an extra section between the LEFT and RIGHT sections of the monster, creating and defining 3 sections), as you can roughly guess where it’ll hit, as if it’s a PURE STAB, you’ll be safe as long as you’re not stuck in the middle, for varying direction STAB/SPEAR attacks(such as magnamalo) it’s basically the same as normal attacks(L/R) but you add SKEW of anywhere between 15-60 degrees to a pure center STAB/SPEAR attack(or widening the 3rd section as such defined degrees). ❦  #monsterhunter #hacks #tricks

Hi! It's me! The MH veteran since the first game with 15k+ hours across all games. This guide is helpful. Rise is kinda complicated with the mechanics.

[@emarceeqem4715]

2:42 You know. Respectfully. I disagree with this sentiment. Whilst Insect Glaive and Switch axe are not specifically beginner weapons. They are intermediate at worst. In the case of insect glaive, its complexity dies off when you learn how the bug mechanic works, and it is a fantastic weapon for aerial harrassment of taller or flying monsters. Switch axe has a similar reach and speed to longsword with less 'combo success' necessary to reach its damage ceilings, switch axe's only real mechanic or system is phial, and knowing to hold off from using sword mode for a bit until it recharges isn't really hard. Charge blade is the one weapon which I will grant the complexity warning is warranted, as it genuinely requires you to keep no less than 3 separate buffs in mind when using it.

i am an actual baby, so this is humongously useful, thx a lot :D

[@GatchamanG4]

Thanks for the tutorial. It explains a lot. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never played any of the Monster Hunter games. I know, I know why haven’t I played them before. Lol I been playing WOW for years. lol Gonna pick a range weapon to start out with. Playing WoW my main toon was a Hunter. Thanks again! ✌🏻❤️

The insect glaive is the weapon I started with. Once you get the hang of it and know when to strike they're pretty easy

[@raiusdaltar1483]

Thanks for the vid, this was the most helpful one I've found. Just bought Rise and it's my first MH game. I've wanted to break in for a while but never got around to it, finally decided to take the plunge and now I'm looking forward to becoming hopelessly addicted!

Super helpful. Didn't think I could really get into the game after getting so used to World's gameplay, but it's surprisingly similar. I guess I never gave it the time of day

The way Patrick says PALAMUTE

[@elliotburing87]

The little details provided in this video are greatly appreciated, sir!

[@richardcheese4680]

Whiffing is just part of being a GS main. Ain’t no growing out of that.

[@andrewlee999999999]

great sword and hammer are actually great beginners weapons because it pretty much forces you to learn monster attack patterns. also its much more satisfying seeing big damage numbers

[@jpowel]

I agree. With the hammer early on you only need to really focus on a couple weapon combos and you'll be fine. It gives you more time to focus on the monster's behavior and attacks as you're charging your hammer

[@miku224]

Great guide, Pat! Thank you especially for the etiquette tips (especially especially about LS tripping)

[@Huntho21]

Super late to the party but I’m starting on monster Hunter today

[@Ysmiras]

PSA: Assume for most multiplayer quests that your team is aiming to kill, not capture, unless the party specifies to capture for this quest. Some rare items for monsters are either greatly reduced in percentage of dropping or flat-out unavailable when capturing; Other rare items are the reverse for killing. Exceptions would probably be: You’re all in the last life before failing the quest and can guarantee a success by capturing, you’re planning on getting rare drops specifically obtained by capturing, or someone “carted” right before the monster is about to die and won’t be able to come back in time to loot the corpse.

I am new to Monster Hunter... Bought this to support the devs and give a Monster Hunter game a go... Loving it so far! It took me a week to figure out which weapon is my weapon and it's the charge blade! Now, I am figuring out how to upgrade it and unlock the tree system, they all seem to have ???? on them!!!
