10 IMPORTANT Things You NEED to Know Before Playing Monster Hunter Rise PS5 Xbox! (Tips & Tricks)

[@gingerkitty7077]

Biggest tip that helped me way back when, don't let anyone stop you from having fun with your preferred weapon and please try them all. I find you'll not only have more fun but will also end up doing more damage ( just from shenanigans you get into with a weapon you love) by playing what works for you rather than what's "meta" ect. Happy hunting!

[@bacon098]

Greatsword lol

[@StormFahrt]

Lance and GunLance were always trash tallked when i played but the jokes on them i could F-ing Tank shit. lol So yeah play what you like.

[@gunghokage4986]

I just like my switch ax

[@TNTspaz]

Especially from the fact there isn't really any reason to do any kind of super "meta" builds till late Sunbreak. Rise really allows you to kind of do whatever you want more than most Monster Hunt games. Even just from the sheer amount of utility you have to play around with and all the switch skills. Really the only reason you might want to steer toward a specific weapon is for weaknesses so a fight takes 5 minutes instead of 20

[@ExTremZero]

imagine having no friends to play a game...

[@BookkeeperGaming]

Something not recommended in any tip videos or list I have seen is changing your palico type in the creation menu. As an experienced MH player the gathering type is better than the healing type that is default. Of course, you can unlock the buddy plaza shortly after starting and change your buddy then. Getting the gathering type asap and start leveling it is very helpful to get extra mats.

[@globalsaturation7333]

So what does the gathering cat do exactly ? Does he just gather while I fight or does he help out with attacks just a little ?

[@espada7997]

@@globalsaturation7333 it will grab extra items for you at the end of the hunt and gather materials when you're following the monster around.

I used the vigor Wasp spray in world until I got the plunderblade, if I can set my Palico to do that then where do I start?

[@djdedan]

A tip: Avoid ADVANCE quest unless you have mastered that monster. These are souped of versions that usually don’t give anything special. They are really there to challenge players who have mastered the normal version. So don’t try to take on that event valstrax because you need some parts. Unlock Val normally. You have been warned.

[@ghostridernz17]

Ngl i was wondering i was fighting the elders never died to em snd i was like yk what imma fight this valstrax.... almost got oneshotted when it raged. Then it did a laser beam attack that felt like i couldn't dodge and did infact one tap me. And i would comeback it would insta rage an use that attack again. Not tge meteor dive tho i didn't even get to see it😭

[@Saberdud]

*laughs in cheat engine*

[@seanw4606]

Some of those advanced fights and the event ones are hard as fuck. Fighting multiple apex enemies in one go is not easy....it's like dark souls monster hunter lol. 1 hit deaths all around lol.

[@BoxersDelite]

@@Saberdud😂😂😂

[@bdon5813]

Something to add would be to get a few extra palicos and palamutes so you can send them out on meowcenaries missions to collect extra resources. You can start them by talking to the Palico in black armor in the buddy plaza.

[@Mayajid]

The best tip I can give is When you are selecting material for mending- press down the right stick and it will organize the material from what you have most of to what you have least of..... I clocked 800+ hours in the game before I found out that this function was always there. I'm sure at least 100 of those hour is just scrolling around to the middle or the end of my material list....

[@kingjawbo1110]

It is so much fun on console and looks absolutely beautiful. Its like a whole new game im blown away. If the main game is this good, sunbreak is gonna be nuts

[@EpicJoker295]

Even though you can fight the apex monsters through the event quests, if you are the type that likes seeing the big red check mark showing you have completed every quest, you still want to make sure to fight them all in a rampage at least once to unlock the quest for them.

[@isaachepworth7860]

Something for switch skills, is that the high rank quest doesn't require you to use the weapon that the skill is for, use which ever weapon you want.

[@RagingBrachy]

I am NOT gonna buy it AGAIN. *My brain: you sure about that?*

[@danielmoise89]

Definitely stay out of the advance play if you are not an advanced hunter. I've done Val and seen ppl carted out so quickly before reaching hr 100 and I just couldn't understand why ppl where dying until I started examining gear and looking how they played. Adv Val was easier done solo and still took 10-15 mins depending on which weapon I switched out

[@ES-dp6tw]

Anjanath's turf war against Tetranadon goes ahead even if the frog is bloated up and ready to wrestle with a belly full of rock. It's actually hilarious watching it try and square up to the vulture-rex like it would to Goss only to get grabbed by the neck and shaken about so much it ends up puking.

[@andym3278]

that's good info.

I don't think I've seen that in all Rise Sunbreak in my 500 hours+!

[@karenritter2574]

I found a few tunnel areas in both the shrine ruins and frost Islands. Discovered them by accident. Another hunter and I also found a number of buddy recon and relic record spots. Secret endemic life search was fun but tricky.

[@curtisjones9372]

God damn your videos, every time I watch them I get that ending jingle stuck in my head.

[@channelofmojos2779]

Based on the Sunbreak roadmap, I suspect it will come to consoles the same day Title Update 5 drops, which is also listed as Spring 2023. Which means the plan with the non-Switch console versions is for the base game and then the expansion to come out in their “complete” form, as TU5 is likely the climax update.

[@TNTspaz]

Yeah, they didn't really make it public but it seems like they plan to kind of bring all the versions together with sunbreak console release. Which might mean we will see better cross save and cross play options at that point as well. Since they said they wanted to do more but didn't have time. Which is also why console got all content except Sunbreak and the few title updates

[@Triptendo]

don't get the guild cross set. It will ruin your experience as it will make the game a cake walk which will make you develop bad habits during the game. Guild cross set was made for players who wanted to get to the expansion faster and that have already played through rise before.

[@andym3278]

You know, i kinda needed these tips a week and a half ago....Now i'm already HR8, but you know what, since i played the heck out of this game during the past week and pretty much speedran the village and hub quests, my basic understanding of this game can still somewhat be lacking. I didn't know about the coohoot nest for instance, nor about the armortalon so thx for that info !

[@yuucentipede9873]

Gonna take my time and power through everything from scratch first playthrough maybe if I make a second character ill use the guild armor

[@alicelenn7579]

That's what i do too. I crafted armors and weapons for my first hunter. Then when i made a second hunter i used the guild armors since i'm already used to crafting, but i still craft weapons. I didn't use the defender weapons coz i still like to fight monsters using weapons that are in monsters level.

[@jmo8192]

@@kschmeed You can choose to ignore it but I don't think you should. Collecting the spirit birds can permanently increase health, stam, and defense. It doesn't take that long once you figure out where they are( there's even a map setting dedicated to their icons), especially if you have the petlace that boosts the amount you get from spiritbirds.

Thank you for the helpful video :) Im having a lot of fun playing my first time

[@lanepear607]

I see a lot of people saying not to use guild cross as a newbie to MH, and I don’t think that applies to all newbies. Rise is my first and only MH game, and my first game with the slow methodical combat style. I think the game has a hard enough learning curve with the menus and controls alone, without having to decipher all of the skills and stats of armor. I used the guild cross set until near the end of the gathering hub quests, about 60 hours into the game when I felt I had the combat down. It was a bit intimidating at first, but I think getting into the armor sets later kept me from getting too frustrated with the game in the first few hours

[@ShirleyTimple]

Yeah, I agree. Play the game how you want to play so long as you're having fun and learning the basics. People telling others they're doing it wrong is just silly. I'm a solo player, my preferred armor affects them in no way lol.

You can manipulate the windows save file to put the contents of the steam save file into it and then pick up on Windows. That can then sync across the game pass service so could be played on Xbox.

[@lutherheggs451]

That's a good way to get banned from Xbox live....they don't care about people who can't grasp that PC and Xbox aren't the same platform and IF someone doesn't want to "restart" they should just stick with PC....Save file modding is without a doubt breaking TOS

[@HardmodeAsgore]

@@lutherheggs451 I'm like 73% sure if Xbox didn't do anything towards those using those save editor programs for 360-era/early XB1-era games (Like Dark Souls 1, or the Soul Calibur with Ezio) they won't for cheeky save porting. There's maybe 3 criteria for Microsoft's intervention: -Heavy multiplayer abuse; Like 10+ player lobby stuff. (Doubly so if multiple reports received and/or evidence recorded.) -Gamerscore editing (Which might be what save porting triggers here, since achievements are weird for games like these.) -Staff Impersonation/Ban Evasion (If you somehow evade being banned for the above two, and play it off as being 'Staff' or edit an alt with the exact same statistics, Microsoft's pulling that .45 and saying 'We can't expect God to do all the work.') Even then they hardly care about Gamerscore anymore, seeing as how it no longer has any financial advantage. (Microsoft used to work off of a points system instead of money and had an actual 'Microsoft Rewards', which not only gave you rewards points back, but having a certain GS criteria would net you direct rebate on every purchase. {Like maybe 2%~4% at max.})

How’s the combat gameplay? Is it still weighty slow encumbered as usual MH games?

[@elijahwise7012]

The new wirebug mechanic adds a lot of verticality and movement to the game. The gameplay is very reminiscent of traditional MH games but having access to quick dodges and extra skills with the wirebugs makes the game feel a bit lighter and faster imo.

[@kingdanett4043]

Hey. So I got the game on my switch during blackberry Friday. This game is still kinda confusing and I'm not very far in it (3 star town?, 1 star hub) and I was wondering where a good youtube channel to find a lot of MHR guides? I keep having troubles with things like material/part gathering, I don't know where or how I should hit monsters to drop parts, how trapping works, how the menus work and when you look at said menus, the weapon tree is confusing, about what level should I be at before getting sunbreak, how do I get weapon and armor appearances on my other sets, what do the buddies even do, why do I have a home is it useless, how should I be using my items, what items are good and what are useless, why do some materials auto craft and some don't, what do the stars mean and should I go to higher star ranks, how do I set up my radial and normal item slots and what should I set those up to, etc. This game is the best one for newcomers but still by far the most difficult and complicated franchise to get into besides like, wow or something

[@kingdanett4043]

Also a very important thing. I have only been foraging and upgrading a single weapon because I don't understand the game yet and want to have something comfortable while I'm still understand the rest of the game, is this a good or bad idea (I main switch axe)

I'm very sad that they do not allow you to show combos. I have a buddy whose never played and I'm gonna have to refer him to a KZbin video just to really figure out combos.

This was the biggest mistake I ever made in world because I could just tank any hit didn't allow me to learn anything. So looked it up. I know chain mail is a very first craft able armor and you have a defense of 20 and he's recommending new players with armor rating defense of 120.

That is interesting to hear. Did you use a different weapon on switch or something?

I’m not looking for Frontier Z levels of insanity, though that would actually balance the hunter to monster power creep considerably. I know it’s getting easier so it’s more accessible to new players but expansions should bring it back to the HARD level. This isn’t an open world survival game. It’s not Dark souls either. It’s Monster Hunter. It’s learn the maps, use all your tools because you HAVE to. It’s learn the behaviors and quirks of the creatures you are HUNTING. not fighting, but HUNTING. The fact that the player has full access to their entire inventory was a warning flag in world that the game was shifting and Rise just made it worse by shrinking the maps, removing the need for cold or hot drinks, making bitter bugs or nullberrys pointless, they took away any need for 99.9% gathering on the map outside ore and bones. It’s too easy. I have been playing GU for the past couple of months and that’s better in terms of player reward vs effort then Rise ever was. Rise just hands you near full sets of armor after one hunt ffs.

@@shindoushuichi0287 It's not that deep dude. It's a video game. People play video games to have fun.

What’s the Max hunter rank on console

[@seanw4606]

12hrs Into this game I had no idea there was a submarine, or that whole area lol. I just wanted to explore the maps and get to fighting lol. I've missed playing monster hunter such a great game

[@sandornagy3484]

May i suggest world its also an amazing game

[@seanw4606]

@Sandor Nagy I have played world a bunch lol. It is a great game too. Just been awhile since I've played it. Recently I found out how much I love the insect glaive as well lol. Really fun weapon once you get the hang of it lol.

Put a paralysis weapon on your buddy. Late game hunter levels come from public rampages, you get the most exp from doing the objectives. Focus on making decorations, Sun Break drops soon and end game high rank armor is largely useless after master rank 4, probably sooner I just had a full rocket dragon set.

Can't upload/transfer from switch... Years of academy training wasted...

[@Actionman-ck4gz]

@@BLOODKINGbro oh I know right, I am already fairly geared on switch. I just play with my gf and switch had connectivity issues when playing together. She would constantly drop during hunts on local connections. Switch is just a pokémachine now.

Hi everyone! Sorry to disturb but for idk which reason Defender/Champion weapons don’t appear in my game I just started PS4 save. Can someone help me pls ?

[@ieatcalamari4595]

If we bought it on Steam does that count as windows? And if so, how do we access the save data? 🤔

[@citrusjelly9069]

No. He purposely didn’t say steam at all. Steam will not cross save with anything and that sucks.

[@n7viking286]

Has it been announced whether or not Sunbreak will be coming to gamepass as well?

[@Mr.BootyHamSandw1ch]

Probably not, I don’t think iceborne came to game pass

[@blazing-wolf2331]

Wait the champion weapons are in the game? For some reason I don't see them in my box or in the weapon tree

[@joelputz3734]

I didn't see the weapons either 😕 Though I did find the armor
