[@Zaqnak]

One thing every HH user should know is, if you go to hunt something, any monster that isn't your target can be gotten into wyvern ride stage instantly with a single Earthshaker, so if you are hunting a Magnamalo for example, and you see Rathalos and Mizu on the map, you could go Earthshaker the Rathalos or Mizu, and get free damage + knockdown on the magnamalo ^^ My friends by now already know I'm heading off track at start of every hunt and mid hunt once monsters flee to grab both of the side monsters ^^ edit: Monsters that aren't your quest target require way less mount damage to be wyvern rideable, which is why the HH punch can one-shot mount em

[@ls-metro9362]

This is very helpful, thanks

[@oscarwhittlestone8923]

It's also a neat way to get more shiny drops (more monster parts), but I believe Arekkz and co. already made a video about it.

Hunting Horn nowadays is like the Hipster weapon. Hunting Horn mains: "I was using the Horn before it was cool."

[@11amasuperboy]

*Adjusts bowtie and fixes suspenders* I mean... I was so you're not wrong.

[@muthafoca9409]

That's were you're wrong friend. It was always cool.

[@doomsday349]

That’s an oxymoron, hunting horn was always cool, not that I’ve ever used it, I never had the brain cells to remember the notes and combos

[@11amasuperboy]

@@doomsday349 the trick was realizing you won't be using all the songs available to a horn; maybe just 2-3 maybe 4 songs. Also say a horn has Defense Up (L). The notes to play that song is the same on every horn that had that song too. The problem was the only way to come to these realizations was spending time with the damn thing which was the intimidating part in the first place.

[@doomsday349]

@@11amasuperboy I’m sure I’ll give it a go at some point, I’ve always liked the idea of it

[@jas_nah]

Appreciate you showing yourself taking a few hits in the demo hunt (as opposed to a super clean, speedrun-type hunt that most of us will never accomplish). It shows how to recover and get back into your combos, and makes the lessons of the workshop not feel out of reach. :)

[@Anducar]

Get an usb adapter to use the xbox controller on switch, it costs 1/3 of a pro controller and works perfectly (i’m using the Magic-NS adapter and i’m enjoying every single cent it costed)

[@sinteleon]

@@Anducar There're also other 3rd party controllers which works fine too, but yes, don't specifically look for a pro controller.

[@Anducar]

@@sinteleon yes my suggestion was good considering you already have an xbox/ps controller, so that with a smaller investment you can use a very well done controller on switch If you don't have any and don't plan to play on other platforms, a 3rd party controller is the way

[@carlthewinner]

I love the hunting horn so much. I recently laid a trap and stood behind the trap playing my healing song again and again because my team was low on health. I ended up getting the monster's attention, healing my team, and pulling him into the trap as well. So awesome! :)

[@junkyardprints9713]

[@mrbigglezworth42]

Pro tip for the Hunting Horn: Doot aggressively until the monster stops moving. Then Doot some more

[@MercuryAlphaInc]

Doot before fighting the Monster: Pre-party Doot while fighting the Monster: the party Doot after killing the Monster: the after party

[@zacharybrinkman4464]

One if my favorite combis that wasn't mentioned plays into the fact infernal melody can be used after slide beats, is X+A, X, A into slide beats, infernal melody, into magnificent trio, into earthshaker

[@Anothor93]

Incredibly helpful. Answered quite a few questions I had about the hunting horn while I was fumbling around with it.

[@ciriuns]

Just wanted to add a simple but good attack that you missed when talking about the melodic slap (11:58) Instead going for infinite X+A combo, you can put an A attack in between them. Like X+A > A > X+A and repeat. Also this A attack between the melodic slap is a small slap back with the side of the HH and is incredible good for stop or change your combo in case the monster moves around, or you can quickly go for magnificent trio right after it

[@DarkStalker1001]

As an HH main I do want to point out that echo mode allows you to be significantly more aggressive with horns that have sonic barrier (single note +recital loop) and allows your party to be more aggressive as well. Echo mode also does have I frames on recital as well

[@TheRobMr]

For those new, this is the console exclusive monster hunter a lot people wanted. I love world, but I gotta say Rise makes feel like I'm going back home.

[@xavierculby]

It’s not exclusive

[@ryrybears4]

The sheer quality of the transitions, voice over, gameplay, and explanations is insane. I’m new to monster hunter, and my game will arrive this Thursday. I cannot wait to learn each and every weapon to a T with these guides that seem to be close to perfection. (From the demo experience and everything I’ve heard) Choosing only one weapon for my main is going to be rough. I can’t wait!

[@Squidberries]

Well you're in luck - Rise was designed to make it a little easier than past games to craft weapons. You don't have to just have one main!

[@yeoldpubman]

Just do like me, and take forever to beat the game because you keep stopping to build alt sets.

[@davidbower671]

i'm so glad you included the directional backward slam. it took me so long to learn how to do that efficiently in previous titles and its an insane manoeuvre. probably the reason i love the game so much. little techs like that make you realise how intricate the battle system is. the backward slam is the best repositioning manoeuvre but has put me into as many bad situations as its gotten me out of haha

[@Blackshroom]

Usually avoided the hunting horn, messing with it here and there, but rise made it my instant favorite and ended up actually being my main weapon never thought id be a hunting horn main ever

[@Burakko04]

Not gonna lie the new style of these tutorials is suuper hype Nice job, Arekkz!

[@ntmetroid]

Really liking playing HH with Echo. I feel like i have more freedom with my combos than i do with Performance. I dont have to hit the same attack twice in a row to get the song. Though i do miss how HH played in Iceborne

[@fistybaby9489]

I honestly dropped HH in rise for insect glaive and bow. It just doesnt pull me like old HH did, unlike most people I guess I really like the more methodical and slower play style because it was more satisfying for me.

[@Mikedot]

@@fistybaby9489 I agree with you. The fun in playing HH (at least for me) was in seeing how well I can stay focused on attacking the monster while managing uptime on song buffs and they completely removed that element from HH play. I'm not going to say that the new HH in MHR is bad, but man does it feel needlessly simplified compared to MHWI.

[@william_sun]

@@fistybaby9489 Iceborne's Hunting Horn is more methodical, but certainly not slower. The new attacks in Rise hit more times, but all of them other than Kick Up still take just as long to use. The addition of combo paths in Rise and the removal of Echo Attack (no, Infernal Melody doesn't count) really killed the weapon for me, though. The fact that you're expected to land longer combos with multi-hit attacks makes each individual hit feel less meaningful and satisfying. It feels like Rise's Hunting Horn is just a reskinned, slower version of Dual Blades.

[@fistybaby9489]

@@william_sun agreed

[@LayZKimochi420BlazeIt]

I'm just not playing hh as much as I thought I would. loved it iceborne but now its just use each attack once and then ZR+X over and over until the monster dies, ultra boring

I'm so happy for Hunting Horn. Been maining it for years, and while the loss of complexity does make it less fun for me, the new changes still makes extremely fun and entertaining to play, and just as difficult to master.

[@JISHBOSIN]

I agree, it's a great change... But I miss the thought process of thinking how to weave my songs into the fight properly.

[@MitoDrium]

As a HH Main, i am quite happy to see more people pick it up, though i do miss the complexity of the older games sometimes ; ) Unsurprisingly, i play in Echo Mode... AND THANK YOU for talking about QTABS! Everyone trying out HH needs to know about it! It's a shame turning is a bit slower than in World, though...

[@Seleiance]

I can see at least one or two situational advantages of performance mode, particularly against monsters like Diablos, where you can set up an instant on-demand sonic bomb thanks to Sonic Waves instantly coming out when you initiate the second note. The difference isn't huge, but when well-positioned, it should pop Diablos out of the ground directly into the swing for a little more extra damage.

[@EmerlyNickel]

This is my first Monster Hunter game and I've fallen in love with the hunting horn. Thank you for this guide! I usually end up drifting towards playing support in games (someone's gotta do it, right?) But I love that the HH is also a heavy hitter on top of buffing your teammates! I will look out for videos on the other weapons I'm interested in (sword and shield and bow).

[@flagoon]

I started playing HH in Iceborne and I was like: this weapon is busted. It's way to op, probably everyone is using it, I should learn something else. And then I noticed no one was using it :) I felt OP and special :)

[@xcwarrior]

I finally decided to try the hunting horn today. I honestly thought I was tricking myself into thinking I was playing the songs so easily because it was so much harder in past games. Thanks for the video to show I was in fact playing the songs 100x easier. Good on Capcom for making this weapon more accessible.

[@hanshili5289]

I was testing the horn maestro boost on echo moves, and it is a 10% damage boost, when you factor in that with the melody slap compare to overhead smash, the damage difference it is not that big, and melody slap have more hits, which might be better for status proc. that is why i choose it over overhead smash.

but does it combo into kickup? overhead smash -> kickup -> multi crush is my favorite way to get to magnificent trio

[@starlightpastel279]

Super underrated insanely simple combo not covered in the video, A (repeat:A B) this will have you repeatedly do multicrush and kick up your horn at the end of the animation which results in a combo where you stand perfectly still and do a high damage multi hit attack followed by a medium damage single hit attack and repeat with no downtime whatsoever it also has low commitment and can be rolled out of and reaches both high and low with the multicrush and does very good KO damage and flows seamlessly into other combos if you do decide to swap to something else

[@HalikBun]

I have to admit, as someone who just got around to playing rise this was the only weapon that I was disappointed in the changes with, which is sad as someone that primarily played Hunting Horn and Greatsword. The songs just kind of happen now and feel a little like an afterthought. They all use the same combos between weapons, so each weapon doesn't have a varied combo set you're more likely to do, you're purely picking the horn based on a buffs alone. The other big bother is that the variance in how a performance lands isn't altered by direction and the attack that leads into it. Performance is just the same swing every time. It was cool using different basic swings that lead into different positioned performances whether the monster was up high and back or low and forward, etc. Then you had encore, which you could move quite a large distance to catch or dodge the monster. Certain combos that had large encores with more hits would be cool to pull off, especially the one that could swing up and move you back, catching airborn monsters or the monsters head in a back hit. Just leaves the weapon with what feels like a small moveset, despite the additions. I do think the additions are cool, having a cool move to power up to is fun, and the trio is very cool looking, being able to charge in with a performance is also sweet, but all of it feels very static. Just to reiterate, I don't think this new version is bad, and I thank Arekkz for this video in showing the nuances of the new hunting horn (like the QTBS), but it's overall not why I enjoyed the hunting horn in the first place. Weaving between the right notes for the right songs, ending on certain attacks to weave into certain performances and encores was the bread and butter fun of Hunting Horn for me, and now that's all been broken into their own things mostly independent of one another.

[@GustavoBondezan]

I too miss the different performances and how they applied to different stiuations, as well as encores that could be used to dodge certain attacks or to reposition in general. Now it's just a very shallow weapon. Nothing felt better than using that encore at the right moment and booping monsters down from the sky. Additions are cool, but a total redesign are a big no for me. Made the weapon more accessible but very bland.

[@shakeelamlay130]

Just an FYI, the hunting horn got a major nerd between the demo and full release. Something like a 40% decrease in most of the motion values.

Nice vid as always I always loved the hunting horn but IMO this hunting horn is pretty meh or ok. I feel they made changes to hunting horn to get more beginners and new players to give it a try. The major thing I hate about the new HH is the removal of the encore. people say this HH does crazy damage didn’t experience the MHW iceborne hunting horn. To me that was the best version of hunting horn. The rise HH is kinda a nerf and just was dumb down for players that said the weapon was clunky, slow, or hard to learn. Happy my main getting some love but like some other Old HH mains it’s just ok for me.

Just some feedback on the tone of the video, particularly around recommended skills: we have enough focus on "my dpssss!!!" as is, and I imagine a loooot of new players will watch this video. With that said, I think you focused an unhealthy amount on "it's not worth doing less damage for this particular secondary gain". It would be better, imo, to just state the pros and cons and which playstyle benefits from what. Otherwise, we run the risk of people getting annoyed online because "Arekkz said the Melodic Slap isnt worth it and this random was using it". I know you mentioned a ton of times that "You should use whatever you prefer", but people tend to stick to particular arguments over others, and maybe you can do a different, more opinionated video, focusing on what skills are worth over others Anyway, I know this is super nitpicky and the video overall is great, just thought I'd point it out

Love the video. Liked as soon as I came in the door. I find it kinda weird how the horn is getting a huge bump in attention. I've been an HH main fir a very long time and it made me feel part of an exclusive club, but the devs blew the doors open on this iteration of mh. Its bitter sweet. Love the vid.

[@HeyyHeyyHeyy08]

I started out playing with the hunting horn but i kinda got bored and started playing with the switch axe. Still watching just in case I go back to HH. I love how using a different weapon makes it feel like a different game.

Sonic barrier + echo mode = unstoppable.

[@TH3L3M0N]

fairly new, can you explain how this works?

[@choblee9576]

@@TH3L3M0N if your using something like the magnamolo horn the X input will play the note for sonic barrier. After that press ZR and then just repeat over and over again. Sonic barrier basically functions as a Rocksteady buff that lasts 3 secs or so, but in echo mode you can play the note faster then it wears off. Can probably do it in the other as well but I just like using echo.

This is the tutorial of how to get a song stuck in a monsters head.

Fun trick: the Backslam actually has two kinds of XA follow ups. There’s the one shown at at 15:19, which has backward momentum, and another which has forward momentum. The timing for pressing XA after a back slam dictates which you get. Mash XA for the 15:19 follow up, or delay pressing XA until after your hunter has lifted the horn off the ground. Both are great options that allow you to be flexible if you find yourself a little out of position after the backslam!

literally went from SnS main to a HH main. Thx for the guide!

What confuses me a lot is in Echo, when i line up four notes for healing (or whatever its called in english), i get the same amount of heal as if i was playing only one note, which feels just wrong to me

[@kianbeasley1853]

Back in other mh games it used to be four notes per song

[@lennarttheelen6720]

@@kianbeasley1853 i know that rise does a few things different with the hh. I got used to the World System, where you can chain three "songs" together, so i somewhat expected that this system still works in rise

@@Carlisho i mean, it was a thing in world? and if you encored it it'd play them all again in the time of a regular encore, instead of just boogying slightly longer.

Potentially worth noting: Infernal Melody can be played from Slide Beat. Only mentioned it in the demo part of the video, so if somebody skipped that they wouldn't know. I kinda found it on accident when I was trying to see if Magnificent Trio could combo out of Slide Beat (I use Slide Beat for repositioning a lot into opening my buddies make, so I've been trying to find good options out of it)

[@TheMoistDonuts]

How do you activate the infernal melody

[@WhyAreYouGhe]

Never has a weapon turned from "hard to play" to "unga bunga" so fast. It's crazy how much this weapon has changed it feels almost out of place in MH. It's damage is insane and it seems more agile then dual blades, because it doesn't care about stamina. I love it, but it's a bit too much.

[@divineholinessjr]

My first MH game was World, and I mianed HH immediately. Honestly I'm simulatenously disgusted and loving the changes. Just kind of wish Echo mode worked exactly how it did in World, I loved using it for the damage

[@WhyAreYouGhe]

@@divineholinessjr I kinda like that change... It's now a super move basically that not only does damage but buff the team as well. But yeah the hh is too good right now, it really doesn't need this move readily available like in world.

[@rosifico]

I main DB with evade extender (final boss/stormsoul set), I don't think anything matches that level of mobility (except insect glaive but in the air.) But I am planning on picking up HH to help the hunters who end up carting on my quests :)

[@bake792]

played HH since MHFU I think the best mechanics are the one of generation (which were a refined version of mh4u) , after is really a unga bunga weapon, still one of my favourite but really "plain"

[@WhyAreYouGhe]

@@bake792 By generations you mean MHGU right? yeah definitely, that game is a masterpiece and I would pay anything to have it on PC at 60 fps.... But anyway, I also made the mistake of thinking it to be a plain weapon, MHW was my first MH and I never understood the appeal of HH, but just like any weapon in MH you need to put in the time and really learn to use it in the hardest fights...after 2000 hours of MHW I have played every weapon extensively and I loved HH as much as any other weapon. But in rise it just seems like its been perverted almost to a weapon that has no complexity to it, it's almost impossible to make any kind of mistakes with it...it's true that MHR is so fast paced the old HH would not be any good here, but yeah, hopefully they improve on the formula a bit by adding some kind of combos someday.

Great video. I picked up hunting horn on the demo as a joke and loved it. Now im OKing and buffing my victory. This video just helps so much.
