Congratulations you completed the tutorial

truer words never spoken haha

[@Flopdoodle]

Not a good thing actually. A game that requires a 25 hour time-investment to "Get Started" has a serious problem and becomes a huge barrier to entry. Anyway your statement is false, as the game gets started as soon as you actually start "Hunting", which means you start taking monsters weaknesses into consideration. Bringing the right loadouts with the right tools, taking account of resources available. Then you get over that hurdle and you just start slapping monsters.

Especially with the music that plays for that quest, the devs 100% knew what they were doing lol

[@tobiasreinhold7642]

Here's something that nobody tells you ingame but can be helpful: You can use the Tranq Bomb before trapping the monster. So when the monster is asleep, you can use the Tranq Bomb twice without waking it up, then place the trap afterwards for an instantaneous capture. The effect lasts for quite a long time aswell, so you can run along a limping monster and tranq it, then run in front of it to place the trap.

[@Chris-uy6mr]

Yeah, it's also really helpful to do it this way in case the monster healed just enough to put it past capture range. Definitely increases your chances of going, "oh crap, he's not quite at threshold, let me pour some more dmg on real quick"

[@beasthaven1571]

.... as an old hunter this is useful don't got ps+ to play but holy shit thats amazing

[@ocpd33frea]

Thanks veteran hunter

[@Zhyreph]

The Tranq Bombs doesnt last that long, if they didnt changed it. Maybe some seconds or so. Often you throw them at the monster, the monster goes into the trap and you have to throw another one, because the effect didnt last that long. In Rise/Sunbreak it lasts longer than in World/Iceborne for sure

[@Chris-uy6mr]

that's only if you throw 2. I can't remember off the top of my head but each one past two that you throw makes it last about 30 secs longer. Also, the trap itself doesn't last long enough to really effect what I'm saying. It's for if the monster healed just past cap threshold, or if you misjudged it slightly. I've definitely caught monsters by just pouring on a little bit of extra damage while they are in the trap. Obviously if you grossly miscalculated it won't help, but just like 2% off cap threshold you can sometimes pull it off. And at the very least, you get some free dmg if you were off by more than that. @@Zhyreph

[@ThatsOk83]

@@Zhyreph Yeah but the bosses in that game have a lot of moves that track you while most monsters in monster hunter don't track. So having less, it trades less i frames for less accurate moves although master rank is a whole different thing

[@Zhyreph]

@@ThatsOk83 What you mean by track? Like projectiles that track or what, because monsters do track the player. And the monsters are programmed to avoid heavy hitting attacks. So a little topple, a little step to the side, a roar or whatever shortly before you have made a heavy or strong attack. So I would say in general the monsters are more complex in-depth with all of their coding, than bosses in souls-like. There are probably bosses that are more complex too, but most of them aren't imo

If all you had to worry about was just hitting the monster, no having ti worry about quickly getting red guage to maximise damage or anything. Just stab the monster to death, you could adjust your playstyle however you want and because the game was most likely built in a way where even with such a simple kit, longsword didnt have too low damage(lower monster hp, higher damage on the normal swings etc). I would argue it wouldnt be bad at all, literally all you have to care about is wacking the monster whenever you can, no need to ever animation lock yourself for a buff since there is none

Congratulations for beating the base game! Now about iceborne, something you already noticed is that MR monster have a ton of HP. The thing is, your weapon is fine, but from this point onwards armor skills and decos become an essencial part of your build. Farming high rank decos is a really good investment and is a great excuse to expecience the multiplayer. Other than that, all the things other people already mentioned are good advices: - Tackle while charging has super armor that can lead into an opening for a big attack. - Clutch claw attack gives you 180 seconds of bonus damage in the affected part. - Wallbang is a huge opening for big damge. - A lot of high rank quests unlock important equipment and quality of life features in astera and seliana (those with bubbles in the quest name).

i guess you wont read this comments since there is a lot out here and probably a lot of them and I are saying the same but you are missing an important skill for Greatsword for the whole game. if you get Quick charge (i think its named like that in english) you can acumulate the 3 charges of the sword's attack much faster. Also, if you do the other attack while charging (pressing circle in controller) you do like a forward push which makes you unstopable and skip that charge. (For example: if you do 1 charged attack then start charging the second and do the cricle the next attack you'll do will be the 3rd)

[@fredricksonthe96th]

The deeper you get into Monster Hunter, the more the game expects you to use everything that is at your disposal. I understand that you want to be able to beat every single monster through sheer skill and patern recognition alone, and that is definitely possible. But the monsters you are going to face from here on out are designed with the use of items like demon drugs and flash pods, as well as the use of open world mechanics like boulder or vine traps in mind. Just like the monsters in iceborne are scaled in a way to include the mechanics of the clutch claw (aka wounding parts and flinch shotting). Patern recognition and careful approach to new monsters is still and always will be your bread and butter in this game, and you're already doing extremely well on that part. Just saying that there's no shame in using other things that are at your disposal as well. On the contrary, the game expects you to do so.

imma drop a context bomb not many ppl mentioned about MHW and perhaps being forgotten by many here since it was almost 6 years since the game launched: 1. when Capcom released MHW in Jan 2018, for a whole year every month since then, they drip fed new contents. new monsters to hunt, new armors/weapons to grind, new cosmetics, etc. deviljho and lunastra you watched in this video were the post launch DLC content example. 2. no, it was not an "incomplete game" at launch, it was the whole content you watched asmon playing it until xeno jiiva in this video (it's a whole fuckin week asmon posted lmao), and then so much more. there was already an endgame content that asmon didn't play where you can keep playing/grinding to power creep your character if you choose to. 3. the drip fed content weren't small ones as well, it was all a "meaty" content. at least 1 new monster you can grind. and every other month, there were a very meaty content, for example a totally new elder monster and hunt mode where it was never been released before namely kulve taroth. cross collaboration with FFXIV was also one meaty content where you need to team up with full team to hunt Behemoth, with a slightly altered gameplay to mimic how raid boss is being done in FFXIV. the reward for this: you could create dragoon's Drachen armor and the famous Gae Bolg spear as Insect Glaive weapon. 4. on top of that, they also do a seasonal content where they do a cosmetic changes with the gathering hub. as shown in previous video where asmon shown, the gathering hub currently is in "winter theme" to commemorate winter holiday season. and there were also event quests where you can do to get cosmetics/armors to accompany the seasonal content. 5. to make things interesting, there were timely event where the kulve taroth hunt were only available for 2 weeks and it were gone for another 2 weeks and it returned back. this is still true til today. 6. there were also other funny/goofy content where they do collaboration with Horizon Zero Dawn where you can create Aloy armor and Aloy's hunter bow, collaboration with The Witcher as mentioned where you could hunt Lechen and play as Geralt and create armor that looks like Ciri (not Ciri armor, but Ciri lol), and other goofy collab from Capcom's IP like Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, and Megaman best of all: 1. ALL of the drip fed content mentioned above were FREE. not a single penny were charged to players. for the whole fuckin year of 2018, we always had a reason every month to come back to Astera to do new hunts, or just hang out and see the seasonal event that they gave for us. mind you that this was 2018, where the infamous lootboxes and microtransactions were rampant and the mainstory in many gaming media. 2. they re-did the same whole fuckin monthly drip feeding content with Iceborne when it was launched in 2020, peaking with the craziest hunts: Alatreon and Fatalis. again, ALL FOR FREE. (the content, not the expansion) 3. this has been the case for past Monster Hunter title where they always give post launch content every month. still hold true with Rise and Sunbreak, though unfortunately the contents were less interesting and less meaty with World and Iceborne. of course, we can expect the same will also happen with Wilds when they release in 2025 and with its expansion

Never doubted he would finish the game - He is for sure finishing Iceborne and being one of the biggest MHW fan - making Wild more into mainstream game

[@atrxyu]

its gonna be crazy once he actually tries other weapons and possibly finds one he likes more like 200 hours in lol or watches a great sword tutorial 😭

[@Salmon_Toastie]

I think he’ll like swag axe more imo.

[@MrNegative101]

Can’t believe this dude still doesn’t know how to do the most basic of stuff like cook meat or even open his hunters handbook. It’s by only sheer dumb luck and ignorant determination that’s got him this far but he’s starting to pay the price.

[@Steadyriot-is4jg]

I really didn't expect him to commit to this game, I honestly thought he'd make a few goofy attempts and talk about how janky the game was.. but he actually played.. and god damn, I think we made a monster hunter fan out of him, looking forward to iceborne, yall better get him on that shit.

[@Itsbentopp]

It’s amazing no one has told him to do stuff without his palico. The true MH solo experience.

[@kushuaishuai318]

Seeing the kirin fight, we know we got him. 😂 landing that final hit is *chef kiss*

[@beasthaven1571]

Timestamp? Or know which video im still on part 2 but skipped to see this

[@ArchMachiavell]

It's astounding to see how much this game changes if played with grappling claw from beginning. BACK IN MY DAY...

[@Roxlimn]

LOL. Thanks, Asmon for giving us this playthrough! You did beat the game. But also, it’s not altogether wrong when other peeps say that you only just beat the tutorial. World keeps throwing new things at you right up until the end of the game. After that is when you start either Iceborne or really gearing out your character, with your full moveset and all your hunting tools finally in your pocket. Same is true for Iceborne, of course. And after that? Well, after that is Endgame when you start clearing out all the quests available, maxing out your gear, and doing the true final endgame: Fashion Hunter.

[@Kman6849]

tackle is like guarding (Hyper armor) while you Charging your atk it can be use to Monster roar too its reduce incoming dmg like 70% and it can follow up with TCS and it is a short cut move to get too TCS faster too . It's the most importance thing in Great sword. you shouldn't sleep on it.

[@thetrin]

Congratulations on completing the tutorial! The real Monster Hunter begins here.

[@MrRafagigapr]

these people sound like the starfield fanboys

[@NickBaysingar]

I could feel Asmon's pain when he was doing the FFXIV event quest. That stupid fucking overgrown chicken is easily THE worst thing to fight in the entire game. It's like they deliberately designed it to be as annoying and frustrating to fight as possible.

[@sodathejunker]

We all hear Iceborne and Master Rank ringing out, demanding to be conquered. I’m really excited to see how you’ll handle some of these challenges. But regardless… very well done.

[@arcadius3257]

1:46:23 I got over 1000 hours into this game and I have NEVER seen something like this happen before 🤣

[@moonflowerpalace3872]

Over 1000 hours here too and it happens a fair amount on Kirin if you knock it down too many times REALLY quickly.

[@jonathonshirley4169]

Kinda funny seeing him go into master rank because he’s ignored soooo many of the upgrades like upgraded mantles and making a base set of MR ore/bone armor/weapon, plus not using tackle and clutch claw wall bangs is probably gonna make his experience in the beginning parts of MR awful.

[@loki219]

Well he did ignore 95% of the information the game gives him so I expect watching him play Iceborne is going to be more of the same

[@BlaiseArath]

This man just brute-forced his way through the entire game spamming nothing but the heavy 3-hit GS combo and ignoring 99% of even the basic the tools the game gives you. Now >that< is an achievement.

[@_Seileach]

Almost like playing charge hit and run back in the days.

[@AntonyYTube]

And that's a problem with the game, not with Asmongold. Zack isn't dumb enough to complicate things when it's not necessary. And MH is the worst game at explaining the finer details of how to play anyway.

[@hugo-pg5tv]

​@@AntonyYTubebruh there is litterly a training area and it shows what u need to press for a combo.

[@916vkidd]

And rarely carts lol meanwhile when I started each hunt took me at least 30 mins and a cart or two

[@disgustipated86]

So you can capture before they start limping. Kind of amazing that he doesn't look at the map to see the giant flashing skull. Can also capture right after you see the 2nd red drop from monster. First is at 35% hp, 2nd is at 25% which is how low it needs to be to attempt capture.

[@AlexeiX1]

Can someone please teach this man how to use tackle, seeing him press the same button 3 times in a row over and over again will give me an aneurism.

[@genuinejustin6269]

I need help. So im currently doing Rank 7 Hunts but yet I cannot unlock a Rank 3 Defender Glaive. It says, "Under Development" but yet I have the Anjanath Scales needed and the money. I just killed the Pink Rathian to give you an idea how far I am. So why the hell can I not get this weapon!?!?

[@King-wc6bl]

Im really glad Asmon is enjoying the game and seeing how amazing it really is. That being said, he’s pretty much just completed the tutorial right now. Theres still so much to do. I hope he plays the new MHW game announced recently in 2025

[@theadmiral4157]

He actually said that he will play it. It's in 1:35:11

[@nightseeker226]

this is when the game goes downhill as you fight the same thing over and over and over again as you repeat the tedious and repetitive tasks such as eating, sharpening your weapon etc... as you have really no more sense of character progression. This is why after a bit, no one plays the game anymore until they release new content unlike other grinding games like this like poe for examples where it's lowest count would still be 10s of thousands of players despite being a niche and a small marketing compare to AAA games.

[@King-wc6bl]

@@nightseeker226 Have you played MHW to the endgame? You don’t need to farm the same monsters over and over. Sure, it gets like that at some point down the line. Some people are okay with that and others are not. In either case, he’s literally seen less than half of all the monsters in the game. He still has iceborne to do, Kulve Taroth, Safi Jiiva etc. I see what you’re saying about repetitiveness but he’s nowhere near that stage yet

[@chocolat-kun8689]

You can tell he liked the monster when it took him too long to anser which is the best

[@dandiggity5314]

Hey Asmon what would really help your dmg output is utilizing the Clutchclaw as it softens the hide allowing for more dmg. Also the Fish Scale is better than the Wheystone it will auto sharpen after 1 scrape its essentially Speed Sharpen 3 as a consumable also it has a 30% chance of being used up so 1 can last multiple missions.

[@halosaft]

The damage increase from tenderizing isn't anything to write home about since he doesn't use Weakness Exploit
