[@jbarringer-jenkins5765]

My advice as only playing world gu and rise is don't be afraid of the complicated weapons I started with IG so it was learning curve for how to move and how to use the Kinect but I don't regret it as when played the others weapon they weren't as complex so it made learning most the weapons easier except charge blade

[@jonathanjollimore7156]

[@Liquid_Paper]

You guys should post about the new radial/item menu loadouts. Item loadout binding to radial is different now..

[@joshuamagee7707]

You mentioned Village, low rank, and high rank. I also recommend Arena Quests if you're still looking for a weapon that suites you/ trying some new fight styles without crafting an expensive weapon or armor set that doesn't suit your play style.

[@murder_krow951]

@@jesusgeronimo312 World was when monster hunter started to truly shine because the camera controls made the game much better. World managed to get many new players to the series with it being not on the 3ds as well. My first monster hunter wad 3 ultimate and I dont recommend playing that one since there are underwater fights and they do not translate well to monster Hunter in any way. The first one I completed and got my hunter rank as high as possible was 4 ultimate and that is wheb I was able to really enjoy the series. World also made the game look cooler by adding a bunch of flashy moves that even a lance user like me managed to get some cool stuff for a weapon that just pokes things. Rise has made the series even more enjoyable by the use of silkbugs, they allow you to stay next to the mondter more and require more focus to hunt. The thing I miss the most from world is tracking the monster down with stuff like foot prints cause that really made me feel like an actual Hunter.

[@amp7980]

I've played monster hunter literally ones of hours. So i def missed something

[@DashXero]

I've been playing MH since Freedom 2, and I have some pieces of advice to impart to newcomers: 1.) You'll be surprised at what you get when you don't care about obtaining rare materials. Don't obsess over them, and you will find more of them than you know what to do with. 2.) Distance is not safety. Learn to thrive within the "Hot Zone" of the monster. The "Hot Zone" is the area just outside of the monster's wingspan. 3.) If you play Great Sword, try not to upswing near other people when the monster is down. 4.) If you play Long Sword, try to avoid going to the same place on the monster as anyone else with a smaller weapon than you. Long Sword users are the reason Flinch Free is REQUIRED for anyone playing online. Since you can't really obtain Flinch Free decorations until High Rank, a lot of low rank players are guaranteed to not have it. I know that the anime attacks are exciting to you, but show some basic human consideration. 5.) Obtain a stockpile of honey as early as possible at all costs. Honey is the most valuable resource in the game.

[@Bloopel720]

Since I've been both the causer and receiver of this problem, I'd mention it: If you are a hammer or hunting horn user, you want to generally want to stand by the head. Sns and Charge Blades as well, and be careful with those amp swings, I think they trip too. Not sure about this one, but switch axe users with an exhaustion phial. All these weapons can stun pretty effectively, and can cause an exhaustion flinch (denoted by green spit coming from the monster mouth when they flinch) Blade weapons can hit more for the tail, or other parts that take more damage from cut damage. This placement helps avoid triping Gunners, don't underestimate Exhaust ammo, they both add to exhaustion, making monster go into that state faster AND can stun. Do keep in mind that your shots can interrupt as well I think the best piece of advice was either on this channel or an interview with a developer or something. If you are unsure about a monster, or if you hunt it for the first time, play slow and safe. The example given was the person would play with a lance or gunlance. They'd let the shield take all the hits, and play safe, hitting when there was an opening, and examine for tells.

[@JohnSmith-tg5li]

As a gunner, distance is safety. I don't care how much armour they give us, I swear the monsters have a burning hatred for gunners.

[@saerudayo]

I once witnessed a long sword user trip me and another guy like half a dozen times in a row, then someone used an HBG and proceeded to stunlock him for like 3 straight minutes lmao

[@GarraOfTheFunk14]

I feel like my best tip for a new player is as soon as possible, farm honey from subs. I legit have not stopped needing honey yet.

[@Ruby_Mochii]

I always gather when in quests until I can use the subs. It doesn't hurt to gather whatever is around you.

[@NeckBreakingStunts]

Bro just stop getting hit. Duh! You'll never need honey again XD

[@ReizokoRyu]

Absolutely this. First thing I farmer is honey from the subs. Then I do a mix of honey, bitterbugs, and alternate between might seeds and adamant seeds for Mega potions, armorskins and demondrug. Can't ever have enough of those,

[@ZeroZmm]

I have like a 130 honey just laying about..

[@Magicannon_]

I actually pack 4 honey in my loadout so I can instantly make the free quest-only first aid potions into their mega versions at the start of a hunt. I pop them first before I dip into my normal megas.

[@silvaries9884]

A few advices i can think of : Gather at every opportunity. Especially minerals and bones during the first quests (used to upgrade weapons) ; honey, kelbi horns, might and tenacity seeds any time you see them. Catch fish early, so you can get more from the Commercial hub system. Bonus points for the fish used to craft Large Bomb+ (sorry, forgot its name). Go on Expedition at least once on every map to learn its layout, Endemic Life location, extra camp, and some shortcuts. Don't be afraid to bail out of the fight if needed. Catch your breath, heal, resharpen your weapon, restock on items... And then go again fully refreshed. Might have a few more, but those will make the job easier.

[@jeremiah1293]

Follow up on your bailout point, craft and stock the farcaster item specifically for speedy getaways when you feel in over your head.

[@ChozotheBozo]

Explore the options/settings menu!! There are a lot of small things you can adjust that are far better than the default options like Radial Menu and camera.

MOOD

[@LiteraryErudition]

I am completely new to the series. Monster Hunter Rise is my first entry - thanks largely to the comments and gameplay from Paradise,TwoSixNine, and you (also the rest of your hunting buddies but I’m still learning names). The various crafting and forging systems are difficult to navigate. They probably wouldn’t take long to really explain, but I have no idea what takes priority. I’m just making things as I am able - not sure if I should be investing in a wide variety of goods or just a few focused ones. Thanks for videos. They definitely helped get me going through the basic gameplay loop and surviving my hunts.

[@sappho_irl]

the number one tip that bears repeating no matter how many times it's said is that patience is your best weapon when it comes to hunts. the monsters, your weapons, even the maps, all of it takes time to learn and you're not gonna do it over the course of an hour or two. at first you're gonna spend the full hunt timer trading body blows with something like great izuchi and it'll feel exhausting and terrible B U T , it's the learning process. you need to see how the monster moves, what its windups are for attacks, and how your weapon interacts with those different states. and eventually, you'll look back after doing a sub six minute run on something like tigrex and think "god damn, i'm good."

[@ReizokoRyu]

Yasss. Preach it!

[@mcgoo721]

I just killed the first big monster, that very same great izuchi, and I was worried going in to it. I play a lot of support classes in games so I started with the hunting horn. I couldn't tell how I was doing with the babies. I was never in danger just kind of button mashing. But in that fight it clicked and it actually went really well! The timing took some getting used to, and I whiffed a lot haha. But it went pretty quick and i was able to see what my buffs did taking real damage. I just have no idea how to craft, what items do, and I'm total shit with wirebugs/wall running/jumping. I also dont have shortcuts set up and almost lost my sharpness totally.

[@ReizokoRyu]

@@mcgoo721 Ahaha thats alright, buddy. Take your time and figure these things out! Definitely sharpen when the monster runs, so in between fights you are topped off and ready to go again. Also for crafting you can do that either from the pause menu or at your item chest! It lists the materials you'll need, and items with a ??? will be revealed once you craft one of it. Make sure you craft mega potions by farming honey with the Argosy ASAP! Just take your time and it will come together eventually. P.S try to go for the head with hunting horn since you do blunt, stun damage and can K.O the monster for big damage opportunities!

[@ZeroZmm]

Don't use mounted monsters' finisher attack(or whatever it's called), launch the monsters into each other instead. I don't know if it's a glitch or working as intended, but when you launch a monster it'll make the other one immediately rideable, you can then loop rides by running monster 1 into 2 to 3 then to 1 again and so on.. Head for the non-target mons first cus they are much faster to ride. For example; get Magnamalo quest, Rathian and Izuchi are also there. Go for Izuchi, jump attack of Palamute and then use a silkbind attack (should be enough to get him), run to Magnamalo, attack him till the bar is full(get some extra hits in by dodge-resetting before the time runs out), launch Izuchi into Magna, as you fly off, ride Magna, move him to Rath and repeat the cycle, launch him to Rath, attack Magna with Rath, before filling the bar, run to Izuchi, launch her into it, ride, run to Mr.Malo, launch it at him, rinse and repeat. I've gotten to ride monsters 3 times this way. This is almost impossible on quests with only 2 monsters tho, since launching a monster into another that is webbed (after a launch) won't make it rideable and by the time the web is gone, you might run out of time on the mounted monster.

[@kylecaffyn-parsons8163]

👏Cook 👏 your 👏 blue 👏 mushrooms👏 in 👏 large 👏 batches. 👏 You get a lot of Dango tickets, on top of Herbal Medicines and rarely get powders. Cooking the other Mushrooms are super worth too.

[@groudongamer3178]

[@ju3tind94]

I find it works best to cook them in batches of 40. I usually get about 20 tickets that way. If I cook 99 I still usually only get about 20 tickets.

[@yetijunior]

That and everytime you go see Rondine, and have some points to spare, buy a batch of raw meat and Motley Mix them into steaks for easy Dango Tickets as well.

[@midgetchip]

easy tickets, just do a zenny farm, buy some raw meat from the argosy and cook them. I have about 300+ dango tickets

[@FringedHorizon]

I've gotta say my biggest suggestion for new players is, and this was my biggest issue when I was new, SWITCH YOUR CAMERA CONTROLS TO FOCUS CAMERA!!! That way when you press R3 when you are fighting a Monster it will lock on to the Monster and open up that little bit of brain power. Good luck fellow Hunters!

[@vguy488]

As someone with hundreds of hours in other MH games I actually tried to do this, only to find the flow of battle severely impacted when on a tracked camera. Nothing seemed right, so I just reverted back to manual camera.

[@Ruby_Mochii]

Ah yeah, the big beautiful monster blocking my whole camera.

[@nathanwidener9006]

The best part about world on pc was the glorious freedom of camera controls using a mouse. I literally could not play world with a controller. It was such an upgrade from the 3ds controls id been used to for so long. So now i have to adjust to using a controller again. Sadge.

[@EmerlyNickel]

I'm new. The pre-tranq strat was something I hadn't heard of. Thank you for including it in this video! By the way, I picked up hunting horn and have found it really easy to learn. This is my first MH game so I don't know anything about how hard it used to be, but I'd say that the simplification of it has been good to get a new player like me to fall in love with it.

[@jadetopia4121]

[@annabelmcallister2047]

I'm new to the game I'm very interested in it but the game seems a bit complicated at first

[@zakrilege3428]

My number one tip for people just starting out: Blast dash. *This message brought to you by the funlance gang*

[@nantukoprime]

1. Find a weapon or set of weapons you enjoy using. You're given a basic weapon of each type, which are good enough for the first couple of categories of Village Quests. You also have a training room in the village that you can travel to from the small boat/raft on the Buddy Island or through the quick travel option from your menu. Find a weapon type you like first, then start building weapons. A popular alternative method for finding the weapon for you is Arena Quests (talk to Master Utsushi in the Gathering Hub). Arena quests give you a specific set of armor, weapon, and items for that quest only. You get put into an Arena with a monster and you defeat it as quick as possible with the tools given to you. 2. While on quests, feel free to deviate slightly while completing the quest to collect resources from the map. Gathering has never been easier. 3. If you are having particular trouble with a monster, consider just using a quest to learn its moves. Strap a big honking shield on and guard. Use wirebugs to escape to safe areas of the map if needed. If you are running from the monster and you weapon is sheathed, press B to do a dive away from the monster. This dive is known as the 'superman dive', as you are invincible for a large chunk of the dive. 4. It's not reiterated enough, but there are some tricks to using wirebugs for movement. While using wirebugs to scale a wall, you can hold Right Bumper while on the wall to run up the wall. This consumes a lot of stamina. If you run out of stamina before reaching the top you will vault off the wall. At any time you are in the air with your weapon unsheathed, you can press and hold the A button to hang in the air. When doing this you will hang in the air from a wirebug without consuming a wirebug charge until you stop swinging. When the swinging stops, you will drop down. You regain stamina while hanging like this. You can somersault out of hanging around by pressing the B button. You can use a wirebug while hanging. Smartly using these tools means you can scale much larger cliffs and walls than you might originally expect. 3 wirebugs and a full stamina bar basically gives you permission to go anywhere.

[@markfountain5728]

Friendly reminder: Some items CANNOT be obtained by capturing. If you're joining someone else's quest be aware that they may be trying to kill it, even if they've put a trap down. 🖒

[@iPhil65]

I must have messed up so many people's hunts by now until I saw this tip in a video a couple of days ago.. I feel bad for every single one of them now

[@zjoee]

@@iPhil65 Yeah when I play multiplayer I don't throw any tranq stuff. If they trap the monster towards the end I'll back off a bit to see what everyone else is doing. If they keep attacking then I'll jump back in there.

[@vguy488]

I'd only make one clarification, you can start playing the Gathering Hub Quests right away without clearing all the normal village quests first. Also, if you progress further within the solo campaign while leaving the hub for later, the game actually allows you to take a special license quest to increase your HR in the hub without clearing all the required hunts. Pretty nifty but you miss out on actually hunting the monsters and their mats, so it's really up to you. Cheers!

[@Magicannon_]

You can still go back and play the lower ranked hub quests anyways if you need the materials. I find the license tests more as a way to prove you are good enough to play with a more experienced friend without starting from the basement quests. It's stressed that the hub quests are balanced for 4 players at the beginning, so many players learning as they play solo tend to stick to the village quests until they end up finding the license tests.

[@yoDibly]

[@razentreri2960]

I haven't read through all the comments, so forgive me if this has been said before, but one thing I wish I had known earlier on was about the motley mix at the canteen. You can buy raw meat from the Argosy for 60 kamura points each, so 99 raw meat is 5,940 points. Pop that into the motley mix and not only does it give you 99 well done steaks, but Yomogi will give you 44 dango tickets, too. Never rely on RNG for stuff like Moxie and Weakener again!

Just tried the PC demo for a bit, having never played a MH before. I've played God Eater and seen enough MH Rise streams to know roughly how the game works in terms of gameplay loop and progression. I actually need something one level lower - How to physically play the game? The tutorial, amazingly enough, never tells you how to attack. I figured out R2 attacks with the bow, but with the switch axe that just transforms the weapon. None of the other buttons seem to actually swing the thing, and the options menu is just a supremely unhelpful selection of "Type 1" or "Type 2" controls whatever that means.

[@garretjamison9770]

Can't wait for your Gunlance in-depth! I can't buy Rise yet so I'm just gonna be hyped about your videos until i can 🙂

[@youreatowel1103]

Best advice is don't pre-pick your main weapon. Even as someone who has played monster hunter in the past my "main" weapon changed in Rise thanks to the switch skills giving some weapons a totally new playstyle. I also don't think new players should start with any specific weapon. Pick what fantasy speaks to you more than the others. They all have such unique playstyle and are pretty well balanced. If you want to smash with big hammer, do it. If you want to rapid fire like legolas at the battle for helms deep, do it. Just because you're new shoudnt prevent you from playing what you want.

[@Kaehyung]

I would call myself new since I played the 3ds and Wii U monster hunters, don't have a ps4 or xbox so I couldn't play the other ones like monster hunter world.

Luckily I have been blessed with the chance of having a Switch and will be able to join the hunt with Rise with the finesse of World as well. I would love if you could possibly make a video on how crafting, forging and upgrading works now? It looks very different from the older games and since I missed world, would it be possible for a tutorial of sorts? Thank you so much for your time and to all new hunters, get out there and explore! I really do hope you immerse yourself in the game and the franchise itself! Ride on!

[@nathanwidener9006]

Crafting, forging and upgrading got a lot more streamlined and up to modern standards. Armor upgrading is pretty much the same with armor spheres. The weapon upgrades now show a larger tree for each weapon showing what you can make. Thats a oversimplified version of it tho. Im sure he can explain it better lol. Happy hunting!

Capture? What is the difference between capturing a monster and defeating it in terms of what you get out of it?

[@NeckBreakingStunts]

You only get 2 rewards for capturing versus 3 by slaying it. However, these rewards have different probabilities of being specific items depending on whether you captured or slayed the monster. So, if you need a specific part and it has a much higher chance of being a capture reward, then capture it.

[@amp7980]

@@NeckBreakingStunts awesome. I did not know any of that. Thank you

[@NeckBreakingStunts]

@@amp7980 You can find the probabilities of these drops for any particular monster in the "Large Monsters" subsection of the "Hunter's Notes" in the menu

I came from World. Anjanath in 6 star HR quest is DECIMATING me. Feels like he got buffed. Sitting at 251 defense and it feels like I get almost two hit by him.

I need someone to go in great detail of the weapon tree

[@handohansolo8866]

I got the first set of switch skills but somehow for the insect glaive I have the 2nd upgrade only not the first.. I hope its not a glitch

[@jackul2507]

Just keep progressing in the hub, utsushi gives you them all or the quest needed to unlock them over time.

[@jadetopia4121]

Pretty sure there's a switch skill video on this channel that explains where to get them all. Hope that helps

[@legion9173]

You must progress to the 6 star quests in gathering hub, not the village quests, the ninja dude in the corner balcony will give you a quest to get it. -Insect Glaive Main

I've been playing Generations, World and Rise for about 50h each and pre tranqing was not a thing I even thought about!

Guys, BLAST is element or status? My Palico have status attack up, which high rank weapon is best for her?

[@guillaumegac7331]

If only I knew this back when i played Portable 2nd G when it came out ... i think it's called MHFU as well, that shit was so hard, Rathalos loved changing areas randomly over and over just to piss you off

Hit the monster and than don't get hit, the best advice I ever got.

I just downloaded it and holy fuck there is so much to learn.

Being able to throw tranq bombs is a great addition to Rise.

[@killerpalkia]

It's been like that but only different in world .-. You have much to learn

I’m new to the Monster Hunter series and this is the first game I’ve seen. Should I play the other games before this one? The game looks VERY enticing and fun, but I want to make sure Im getting my money’s worth. Aslo, is single player LESS of an experience than multiplayer?(given quarantine) Do certain aspects of the game are not available in single player?

[@nathanwidener9006]

I really would only recommend to go back and play through Monster Hunter: World. The old generation games dont have the quality of life that world brought and suffer from clunky controls and hardware limitations. The only old gen game pre world I would recommend is Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on the 3ds purely for the story as IMO it has the best one. Other than those dont bother. Singleplayer isnt any less of an experience but hunting with friends is definitely more fun. World has the best multiplayer out of all the games and if you got one or two friends to play through it with you you would have a blast. Rise still needs some work on the multiplayer aspect.

QUESTION before I buy the game How do I find monsters? Does it have scoutflies or I have to rely on paintballs like in older games cause I hated it

[@thehurriblank1228]

They are on the map as a question mark until you discover them for the first time. After that, no matter which zone, they are revealed.

[@bstanek1014]

I’ve played mh a bit but I wouldn’t call armor “awesome” more like eccentric

[@noriplays1]

Actually we take on the role of the Monster that hunts. We destroy and wipeout wild life and wear their skin so we can use that against stronger creatures and repeat the process. We even slay them with a weapon made from their family members.

Tip for new players. Don't always go for the best weapon go for the one you want and like the look of. That's how I found my main in hammer in mh world. It looked and sounded fun
