I did a Nuzlocke in Stories 1

Here’s a challenge that I procrastinated on heavily for a long time. The Monster Hunter Stories Nuzlocke Challenge. This is a challenge that I streamed over on Twitch several months back and haven’t edited the video since. But I managed to make this without it being tedious or boring. So without further or do, enjoy!
Rules:
1. You can only get 1 egg from a common den and 1 egg from a rare den in each area. Also any gift egg you receive counts as your encounter for the area you received it in (The Velocidrome you get at the beginning of the game for example)
2. When a Monstie faints, It is considered dead and must only be used for expeditions, mandatory obstacles, or for gene splicing
3. You are allowed to skip an area and come back to it later for unlocked monster eggs
4. Ratha (Not normal Rathalos) cannot be used for combat unless it’s mandatory
5. You must Nickname your monsties
6. If you get the same monstie you got before, you have a chance to go to the same type of den you got it from to get a different egg

Once again the Premiere stopped working. Sorry for the inconvenience. Anyway, other than that, let me know how excited you guys are for Monster Hunter Stories 2!

[@exelato5806]

I'll finally be able to do pvp in stories when 2 comes out. I want to see the fated 4 and Abyssal Lagiacrus in it too.

[@fireflamegamer8321]

Exelato bro I can PvP and time I'm ready

[@fireflamegamer8321]

The Deviant Four can't wait hope they give us a update before

[@Entomaniac]

Super excited dude. MHS was a good game imo.

[@mechzilla569]

That gotta hurt dying at the last possible moment

[@Vulcanfaux]

Kinda like how knowledge of the monster hunter games can also help with stories. Knowing what monsters are weak to, what items are useful against them, and to a lesser extent. Knowing the monster in the main games can help you sorta guess what attacks they might use (speed, power, tech.)

You know that the eggs aren't random right ? Each monster has his own pattern you find all of em on the wiki it would've helped to know what the egg is before taking it out of the den

[@siddharths.5826]

I did that many times during farming and got desired monsties Cool dp jin woo

[@56safety]

Yes and that's why this is a randomizer, he just takes the first egg he gets from each den that he is allowed to raid. You also have a limited number of egg pulls per den anyway.

[@kyreestandifer522]

I thought he just grabbed the first one. That would make more sense since it's a nuzlocke. He could have also paintball'd the first large monster he see's in the open world for a bigger challenge

[@gabrielmauger7608]

I've wanted to try that myself for so long, but never could cause you can only have one save file in this game

[@gabrielmauger7608]

@Toto Sakigami ...how ? The game is on a 3DS cartridge, and you can only have one in game account

[@ThatGuyOnTheSpectrum]

[@bruskydu]

I really enjoy the battle mechanic of this game. I am glad we're getting a sequel on switch next year

[@pichugirl6]

Never thought I'd imagine where you can make Stories be turned into a Nuzlocke but hey. I like the rules of what I'm seeing. Got some good picks near the end especially with Stygian Zinogre. Can't believe you made Arzuros be quite the big helper in the early segments but hey, never underestimate a bear in Stories.

[@JOnayo-km5nh]

I never thought I'd be sad to see a Khezu go.

[@doc8420]

First time watching a nuzlocke in mhs & i must say I love the name meatshield it's quite ingenious I don't know why I didn't do that for the aptonoth. Also I named my popo popeye. Edit:my main early game was a r.khezu called red riot late game it was a s.zinogre called dark death (name sucks I know.)

[@lumi4178]

I remember playing the Demo for this game and absolutely loving it! I'm going to set a challenge for myself. I'll get to the highest level that I can on a Yhan-Kut-Ku in the Demo before the Demo for MH Stories 2 Demo comes to the Switch

[@gjkmoda5093]

It shouldn't matter if you lose all your HP when you're mounting, as it doesn't faint your monstie but just leave it on 1HP, so you can tank an otherwise killing blow _and_ heal your monstie after. Doing the kinship attack is actually worse, since your monstie could recieve a killing blow and just faint in that case.

[@LukaFenrir]

Im watching this while replaying MHS 1 on My 3DS. Super cool Video

[@ZaChousenWan]

Your monstie can't be killed in a winning head to head. If the damage dealt to your monstie would exceed its health, it always ends up with 1 HP. Status like burn or poison would kill it though.

[@The_Glitterborne]

Correct. You also cannot be affected by anything like poison, paralysis, sleep, or bleed while riding. If you ride while your monstie is afflicted, then it will get rid of the effect. It even negates stuff like sand shroud from a sand barroth. I know waaaay too much about this game lmao. I got monster hunter world and as soon as i saw barroth in ice age addon i was like “so we meet again. You are a fool to have tried to face me. I know all of your weaknesses”
