Monster Hunter World Beginner's Guide 2021

[@TheHunterProject]

Hello new hunters! I have created a simplified 2024 guide for Monster Hunter World ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn6aZ4aHe8efm5I - Feel free to watch either of them! This one may be a bit more detail and slightly more confusing or opt for the more simplified version following that link! :D

[@Hamieee]

This is my first monster hunter and I can say I've never felt more out of the loop than my first 3 or so hours.

[@n3rdst0rm]

Same, all ive figured out so far is dual swords go brrrr and kill everything.

[@jarlsigurdstorvann9885]

i tried going bow. and i like it. my issue is the aim with the camera and stuff. i always aim my bow the way i am running. and thats annoying if i have to turn around and aim at monsters who is chasing me, lol.

[@EpicShortBus]

Just now playing. So excited I hope there’s still people playing

[@Uyhn26]

Same, just started the journey

Samee this games actually really fun, scary at times but fun 😂

same here mate.

[@lloydfebiaan5380]

Just started today hahaha

[@raymo9197]

To any that are confused. Start the game up, avoid defender armor, play the game, everything he said in the video will answer questions you’ll come up with when playing. Great game, easy to get into, there’s a lot of things to do and it all comes together, good luck on your hunts, Hunters

[@Oswadomob]

Easy to get into hahaha no it is not

[@raymo9197]

@@Oswadomob fair, after I stopped looking at guides and just playing the game I got better at it. Gunlance for life, poke poke boom

just started the game and I've decided I won't rest until I'm absolutely cracked with the charge blade

[@MrBrink182]

Good video. Make a custom item loadout. Will save you hours and help you keep track of when your running low in certain items.

[@TheHunterProject]

Great idea! Will plan a video on it! :D

[@theaveragenick5554]

Just got back into this game. Awesome to see people are still playing. Definitely have had some great help with these high rank monsters.

[@amunra4256]

Just started this game yesterday. At first I thought I was taking no damage because it was so early into the game. 2 or 3 more missions and I checked the stats on the Defender armour lol. Strange move to basically give you god mode at the start of the base game Anywho, some helpful tips and advice here, thanks for the video!

[@lemonheadkw2493]

My understanding is that armor will not be sufficient at the end of the game. However it was added with DLC, and many people recommend not using it your first time playing.

[@roqsteady5290]

Thanks. Just got the game + the expansion and this was very useful... especially on avoiding the easy armor and weapons, as I think that kind of thing would likely spoil the game.

[@dennisellerkamp9489]

I got the game yesterday and thought the defender armor looked cool, im at rotten vale now and just discovered why this game is such a breeze. I hate how they non-chalantly put it at the character creation and dont warn you that this is OP armor and will ruin the difficulty for you

[@JesterDragon8743]

@@dennisellerkamp9489 I started the game awhile back but the exact same thing happend to me, I played a decent chunk of the game in defender because it looked good but started getting suspicious when no armor was beating it

[@jackmelbostad2734]

How are you liking it so far? I’m thinking of buying

[@roqsteady5290]

@@jackmelbostad2734 Truth is I haven't really got into it, as I find the controls on PC a bit hard to get used to. WIll probably have another go at some stage.

[@JesterDragon8743]

@@jackmelbostad2734 I highly recommend the game but big warning is it is a time eater. If it's your first Monster Hunter game there's of course the learning curve which may take some time to catch on to thanks to how much new information you'll be given, it's easy to lose track of some useful mechanics. Even so, there's still a very large community of players who will more than likely have the advice you need. Just watch out for the ones who try to tell you you're playing the game wrong. I wouldn't say there's a right way to play until end game monsters that require specific builds to make any leeway but they aren't part of the main story so it's usally not an issue unless you choose to pursue them. Then the gameplay itself is really nice, with the need to not only understand your weapon but also the monster you're hunting in order to succeed. Early on it won't be as important but down the line stronger monsters can take 40 minutes to hunt if you're not using the right elements or hitting the right spots. Either way the best part of the game is overcoming challenging monsters that were constantly beating you and getting to the point where you farm their gear. If possible get a friend to join you because it just makes the game all the more enjoyable. Story missions can be a pain to coop because for most the game you have to both enter, watch a cutscene to unlock coop, then leave to start it together, but that's only for story/important missions. If not though it's very possible to solo most of the game with some exceptions and there's an SOS feature that makes your hunt free for anyone to join, no guarantee someone will but it's an option.

[@livinghumanlifeform7676]

I just bought this game. I played the beginning but with a library game however wanted my own so I bought it. I was so overwhelmed the fist time even more so once I realized it was online. I didn’t know it was online at first and I hardly ever play online. I loved monster hunter as a kid so I’m giving it another go

[@HeyMyNameIsLukas]

How you liking it bro

[@PeterDarker92]

Just got into the game today. They throw a lot at you in the beginning. This video was very helpful

[@TheHunterProject]

Glad I could help buddy! :)

As a mhw vet I would say test out all the weps befor useing them in a quest to see what one suites your playstyle as some weps are very confusing

[@30secondsmiles71]

He said this at the start of the video... "Go to the training area and see what weapon works for you."

[@Apudurangdinya]

I hated greatsword at first bc it's slow, but after i see the damage, basically hit like a truck, now i got used to the moveset, now I'm used to dodging enemy attack and ended up loving the weapon

[@senjubrian1687]

At first they looked to big and heavy for my style, but the defenders had curves that I really don’t mind.. great weapon to use, I just started playing Monster Hunter and loving it 😎

[@Felix-dh9tl]

If I remember correctly that ”rocket” GS is pretty op or at least used to be

[@Goku-zu3rk]

Ups, my character hasn't been eating anything since day one.

[@Caphalem]

I wish there was a good quality big ass video explaining and SHOWING the various mechanics of MHW similar to what gaijin hunter did for MHR. Capcom's tutorials are Dreadful and these games have so many mechanics and it's so good when you actually understand what's going on!

[@marcuscaestus3583]

I’m finally getting into this game. It took a few tries but switching languages helped get through the river of dialogue in early game. Im playing solo and im only rank 8 so I hope when I face serious challenges down the line there will still be people on to help out lol thanks for the guide man!

[@abemontes2518]

I bought this game from a pawn shop for 6 dollars and I plan to only play the single player story. I don't play online games only single player. It's just the base game and doesn't include the dlc ,but I want to enjoy it. So thank you for giving us some insight into this game.

Thanks for watching guys, for any experience players definitely drop some extra tips down below if you feel its missing from the videoa and for any new 2021 players that find this video, let me know down below what made you give the series a try whether you're returning to the franchise after a while or a new player all together! :D

[@RanjithKumar-Tips]

This game is not that old and graphics are still better than most latest games like cyber junk, star wars, ff16 , rise(dog sh*t), Hogwarts etc....,

[@primal9238]

I actually decided to not get the game based on this video. I was looking for a good crafting system but I just don't think any current MMORPGs are what I want. I'll just stick with solo games. Would love a solo game with a great crafting system. Will have to look into it. There's a lot out there (many I own) like Subnautica or survival games that have decent crafting systems... but I want like classic WOW crafting feel. New World was actually fairly decent. It's just the game itself and economy is dumb. When the game first game out crafting was important. When everyone is max level it just turns to a cash sink for gambling for optimized gear. I want that early feel. I want collecting resources to matter. I want an interesting and intuitive crafting system. Far Cry Primal is the closest I've found to being kind of what I want -- but I want an expanded version of that. I feel Monster Hunter comes really close to what I want in ways but it's an MMORPG that has had way too many updates over the years. Just too much fluff. I want simplicity. Maybe I just need to keep an eye out on new open world survivor games.

[@ReadilyAvailibleChomper]

I played MHS2, wanted to see more of the franchise, and got my butt beat by a fish or something, so now I’m here.

[@SisterSophie-fq9jh]

as someone who has 2400+ hours in this game, (across 2 gaming platforms and 3 characters) I can confirm this is 100% accurate.

[@tennoskoom2233]

If any new players are late to the party like me, capturing monsters has 3 conditions that need to all be active, but you can do it in any order. The monster needs to be at critical health (skull icon), hit with tranq gas twice, and physically touching a trap. The tutorial says you need to tranq the head but this is not true in practice. Just walk your hitbox into the monster and tranq any part of its body. Another trapping issue is not every monster has a lair that is stable to trap on, for example, barroth (mud), jyuratodus (water), and deviljho in the forest (vines). In situations like these, put the trap down anywhere you can nearby, tranq the monster then shoot a slinger at it to lure it to charge over the trap. For elite monsters with fast hp regen, you may need to attack them a few times to get them back to critical health once trapped. Don't worry, the game will capture them as soon as you lower their health

[@JohnVanderbeck]

Was completely lost by 2 minutes in. Not sure how much of a beginner guide this is. At least, from the perspective of someone who hasn't played at all.

[@andrewcingle833]

I grabbed one defender piece and love it.

Nice tips. Just started playing and picked up the insect glaive. Hmm seems like its not a beginner weapon but Im liking it so far. Though I might switch to the dual blades cause it looks cool too and im a big fan of hack and slash games and like fast weapons.

[@highlowe1263]

Dude your name is very kickass

I think insect glaive is kinda easy to use, just my opinion

haven't played this in 2 years and i'm coming back to play mhw ib:)

[@BeansEnjoyer911]

I have 10 hours in the game and it just won't click. It's one of the most stressful confusing games I've ever played. And I've done level 1 runs off every Souls game (though very different type of games)

[@nickelniplipslip2582]

I convinced my friend to try MHW! Im gonna send this to him to help with the new hunter overwhelmingness

just started this game after beating rise sunbreak...world feels as better and much more detailed game! but yea,i agree,better not use defender stuff...

Just what I needed. I'm not new just returning and find myself very lost but having a bunch of cool gear already

Glad I could help! :D

[@bread_dawg]

Just come back to the game after a couple years and re-learning everything is so overwhelming

[@NyxDhark]

Something I discovered just today, after playing since the original MHW release... If you ride an aptonoth, once in a while, they will dig up loot.

[@moyst33]

I've dropped this game countless of times in the past due to how overwhelming everything was. Then I went back to try again last week and everything just clicked, I immediately got hooked, the combat is amazing, the world is expansive and is very immersive, I might just be the next monster hunter fan!

[@skydivin4ng3l]

Maybe next time, better match shown content with visual content. Sometimes i was very confused what i am looking at while you were talking about other or similar stuff. Confusion is not intended by watching a guide 😅

[@Joe_334]

I went into the training center and somewhat got the controls for the Charge Blade. I am still trying to figure out what sparks the shield with a subtle red glow. Only then, when I, "charge the blade" portion, is when the blade expells elemental sparks with regular attacks. When I started playing monster hunter, I wanted to start with the sword and shield, but I find the charge blade to be an interesting weapon in any role playing game.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

Picking this up after Rise and a bit of 3u. It’s pretty neat 😁 The clutch claw is weird…

I’m returning player and just wondering did they change when you can see your weapon tree which you can see your weapon final form?

[@TheHunterProject]

That's still possible if you're far enough in the game depending on the weapon you wanna view :) If you've not progressed far enough, then it won't be visible

[@daigurene]

I've been playing through the first 6 hours with a defender 2 longsword cause it did waaay more damage and generally looked cooler 😭😭 However I got the wyvern longsword bc it looks better. Got the real experience 6 hours later lmao. Avoided the armor though since 50 defence seemed way too overturned compared to the highest grade gear I have available right now, so I figured its for DLC people.

[@Kiunni]

How do you unlock that outfit your character is using? It is so cute

[@yosharian]

Hi man I just started a new character and I selected leather armour, but when I got into the game and looked in my equipment box the defender gear was there too. I don't want it there, is there some way I can remove it? I'm pretty sure I didn't select it in character creation

[@Chrisbajs]

Which genius decided it was a good idea to include super-over-powered gear as an "option"? It ruins the entire game. Like giving you 2 000 000 runes at the beginning of Elden Ring. It ruins the entire game loop, and thus the game experience. Is it still like this, or can you opt out of the Defender gear altogether?

[@LightnixBH]

Im lost 😂 but im def hype to start that game

[@KC-ic2qs]

Should I buy this Because I found MH4 and X are boring

[@Silverlion_90]

I beat Rise Sunbreak,and just started World,and geez W. seems more interesting and looks so beauty.Also story better and progression(also can play story mission with someone unlike rise)! And yeah...better not use defender stuff if play first time,i used this set in rise,only coz already beat base game on Switch,and wanted faster progress to G rank on PC )
