THAT'S ᴍʜ WILD: How we arrived at the POCKET HORN META. (Monster Hunter Wilds animation)

[@NCHProductions]

hunting horn has come a long way. imagine needing to do homework/write and keep a copy of notes to memorize the note combos just to use a weapon.

[@_lost_paradise5089]

hey... shut up. I just memorized all the songs for the Horns I always used, that's what I've always done, and always will, and people thank me for it... sometimes... maybe. :')

[@MikeyV77]

I laughed out loud on the way to work today when the guy left the quest because he forgot how to play the songs

[@Retro-Nico]

You forgot the rise version, not the same of world or other. You juste do every attack you can do (O, X and O + X) and you can spamming all notes and do damages in same time. A beautifull spamming weapon

[@UGOArctic]

Bring back the sax-a-boom! Lol.

[@JuanGomez-uh9on]

As a hunting horn main, will you guys still care about me 😢

[@SomeoneYouKnow2671]

It's an old toy, the saxaboom. It plays small songs depending on what buttons you press. Jack Black just figured out a way to chain them together that really slaps, and that's where this music comes from.

[@edwardgabrielsantos]

1:50 I wonder if there will be a Monster Hunter episode featuring a Monster marching parade/band of Seikrets with hunting horns. Also, it will be amazing if adding palamutes and even monsties from Monster Hunter Stories and its sequel as part of the parade/band.

[@baval5]

Note that MH1 had buffing horns too (called flutes) not just the monster attracting one seen in the video, and were actually used pretty frequently. This is because making them required only a Medium Monster Bone and a Mega Demondrug/Armorskin, and while only giving a regular Demondrug/Armorskin buff the Flute could be reused hunt after hunt until it broke through RNG (which could be after one use). This is particularly important for MH1 because buffing items like this were not sold in shops and there was no farm, so each one had to be gathered from the field meaning anything reusable was a huge time saver.

[@sillygreatjaggi7946]

In some of the games there was the healing horn and antidote horn as well

[@baval5]

@@sillygreatjaggi7946 yep that was also in MH1, but I didnt mention them since this is a video about buffs. I actually had a lucky antidote flute I used for almost my entire playthrough without breaking, and it finally broke on the run I completed Troublesome Pair.

[@mirih5368]

They really should do a collab silly weapon with the Saxaboom to make an in-game Hunting Horn called the Saxaboom. You can't tell me that wouldn't be amazing!

[@crusnik4000]

There's just something magical about styling on a giant monster with your kickass musical instrument.

[@kennethsimmons2419]

It amazes me that people are already so willing to try and make the "pocket horn" meta work (which we don't even know for an absolute fact that it will yet) but they won't put the time in to just learn how to play the weapon. It's such a fun weapon to play and people are really missing out.

[@siliciaveerah9327]

it also amuses me because you would expect the same people to go after at least a few spiribirds in rise , and quite a few dont

[@davidmcc9141]

Ive only heard a couple pf people take about it, but it just ain't happening. The buffs expire. It like if you have to retake a mega demon drug ever minute. And if you really tried to optimize this strategy you need someone to run a melody extend horn, and those with that song are limited and usually only accessible in the late game. If people have problems getting birds in rise, they sure as hell aren't going to waste a weapon slot on a choir.

[@kevadu]

@@siliciaveerah9327 Collecting spiritbirds is boring though. Playing HH is fun.

[@duskblade1119]

​@@kevadu In that case, why not just play HH instead of trying to make this pocket horn thing work and you can use your second weapon slot to cover for problems that your horn can't deal with easily.

The moment I saw the weapon swap mechanic while riding on the mount I got the feeling the most popular strat in multiplayer could be for everyone to have a good status ammo rapid firing Light Bowgun as the backup weapon. Everyone circles the monster rapid firing para shot then dismount for weapons like GS and Charge Blade to get in their strongest attacks then hop on back on their Seikret and begin another volley of status shots. Bonus points if you can get a HH user with a horn that has Large Attack and/or Affinity buff songs. Wonder if they may add a new song that also buffs Status ailment application unless the Element Boost song does that already

In order for the pocket horn strategy to work as well as people are thinking it will, you basically have to become a hunting horn player. Because you lose out on more than 20% of your attacks by being a weeny and playing your horn off to the side every 2-3 minutes.

[@PawlysBartys]

I laughed at the vid, and the World cornerhorn hunter got what he deserved; If you're using horn, at least try to hit the enemy -- you've got a giant club that gives buffs if you combo your swings in the right order, after all, and that's the way you should think of it: smash heads and toes, make funny noises, receive bac...buffs.
