You're further away in missions than me but this might help: Hammer Moves Melee Damage Regular combo (Tri x3): 52%, 20%, 100% (3 hits, 172%) Side swing (Cir): 15% Spinning attack: 20%, 10% (each revolution, up to 5x), 40% Short charge (R Short): 45% Medium Charge (R Medium): 45% & 35% (2 hits, 80%) Superpound (R Long): 20% & 76% (2 hits, 96%) Unsheathe attack: 20% Based on this I'm seeing that if you can get all 3 hits of the regular 3-hit combo in, that's the combo that does the most damage. This does not take into account some other factors like the non-bounce ability of the superpound. Also there are a lot more factors into the melee damage computation that's just better explained here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/psp/943356-monster-hunter-freedom-unite/faqs/53339
I'm really struggling to capture monsters, has anyone good any solid advice on how to do so? Damn this game is good btw!!!
You have to get the enemy to show there weak sign.(ears folding, limping, running to other area, etc)then use a shock trap and then the tranquilizer bombs when they are getting shocked. You can also find a YouTube video on how to capture.
As a Monster Hunter newbie i have two questions: 1. how can i know how the monster looks like i am searching for in a quest? 2.how can i use auto lock on target Thx for help guys
Trial and error The text descriptions give some hints. But there's usually not much around in a quest that you're not supposed to hunt, and you can tell large from small monsters by what the target lock-on icon does... When you're hunting large monsters, the head-with-question-mark icon on the left is replaced with icons that correspond to large monsters that have noticed you during the quest. Tap a large monster's icon to switch your lock-on target to it, then tap the background to engage lock-on when you're in the same area. The camera will then stay on the target while it's in the same area (and not burrowed etc.), or until you tap again or move the camera manually.
I miss the ability to follow him in the water that you have in MH3U. (People who've played MH3U on 3DS will slaughter me for this, but I like the underwater combat and his hitbox wasn't broken there...)
Yeah what's with that? He looks like a gigginox that's eaten too many kelbi burgers lol. He probably fears indigestion more than hunters
This can be hard to pick up on though, and most people only notice the music when it goes away. It's like in a horror film when they use creepy music- you know something is going to happen at the climax, yet you are still surprised when it does. Although now about 75% of movies will make an anti-climax to get viewers to relax and then hit them with a jumpscare. Yeah, movie analysis has ruined me. I can't watch a movie without seeing it through the directors' eyes
1. Items named "%Monster_type% info" are available for purchase at the item shop. These add entries in the Reference -> Monster List. These entries will have a depiction (see http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MHFU:_Monsters ) of the monster alongside their name and description. You'll see features that should distinguish the monster you are looking for from others. 2.
I just realized, the 2nd post is mine. I'm going to make a tutorial post. If any of the experts have anything they want me to put there, let me know. Basically, I hope it'll be easier to just say "look at the 2nd post" than have to rewrite everything I was complaining about this earlier but looks like no one has control of the first post. 2nd post should be good enough.
Awesome! Some suggestions: Lock-on Tutorial (you can use my video here/shameless plug ), and connecting online (creating rooms, joining).
Game Impressions I am taking the time to post impressions about this game: it is that good! I've been tempted to try Monster Hunter for a while and almost bought the Wii version. But I let the occasion pass. Now that it's available on my preferred gaming platform (iPhone 5), I could not let it pass again. Reviews and opinions from this thread have comforted me in my choice, especially the fact that most of the game could be soloed as I play offline most of the time. I tend to play in relatively short sessions and so the length of quests, though they are not a problem for the moment, could be relevant at some point. After going through the tutorial quests, I was still uncertain about long-term mechanics of the game: these quests only give explanations on the most vital mechanics but then leave you on your own. They helped me choose my weapon of choice (Hunting Horn). I haven't looked back ever since and am perfectly happy with the choice. I will consider trying another at some point. Long range weapons seem awfully complicated to handle (not what you'd say from watching Exact-Psience vid ). I am now in the process of completing 2-star elder quests, clocking 20 hours in the game. So far so good. I'd say the point where I felt comfortable with the game was after completing the first urgent elder quest (right after completing the 1-star quests): everything clicked together, hunting a somewhat "epic" monster (the cinematics help) felt good. I am sporting a Giaprey set and a Wardrum. This equipment makes the quests I attempt rather easy for the moment. I've only ever tried quests on the Snowy Mountains and Jungle maps, taking it one slow step at the time. I'll try the Desert map soon. My gripes with the game: - camera control: it may be easier than on the PSP version (for which I have no experience) but it is somewhat awkard. You learn from hunting small monsters that you need to turn and turn the camera around. Then comes the larger monster and the auto-focus feature: great! except that your right thumb instinctively touches the screen and disables the auto-focus, - gathering vs slaying quests supply items: except for trial and error I still cannot wrap my head around the supply items. They are not listed and therefore I always wonder: should I bring a pickaxe? meat? hot drinks? potions? BBQ spit? if I take too much will I have to make incessant stops at the camp to make room by leaving Pokke points item in the red box? Well these are minors and I still am enjoying the game very much. I will try online quests at some point I guess. Still wondering what the general online experience is like for you all. Thanks for reading if you got to this point. Again: congrats Capcom the game is great! and toucharcade you've been really helpful PS: At one point early after the start I was afraid the game was too hard for me: died 3 times in the same quest, "what am I gonna do? is the whole game like this?"... Until I realized I had met Tigrex in the Snowy Mountains and I had to run away from it and complete the quest without slaying it. PPS: I still need to work on my capturing skills: slaying is rather easy, is capturing a matter of spamming tranquilizer bomb?
Done! Let me know if there's anything you want me to add. I was tempted to write: 11) If you don't know what you're doing in life, ask ExactPsience
Definitely! that's what i mostly do between work and family, play for an hour or finish a quest, then back to real life. then in my free time, play some more MHFU. and it's actually working out well, I'm HR4 and in the 8 star elder quests sporting near full Kushala armor with a complete set of elemental bows most at level IV going to the next tier @GDMT: thank you for the help! to bad she didn't drop any vespoid carapaces though lol
It's best to treat the supply items as hints as to what might be useful in this type of quest. The game isn't going to provide everything forever, you know At least not at the start of a quest... The amount of rations and potions is always the same within the same rank. So you should bring steak and potions if you expect the fight to be longer. Things like hot drinks are similar. There'll always be two in low rank quests if you can use them at all on the map, so it's a good idea to bring four yourself, that way you can use one and take the two from the box right at the start. Pickaxes are only there if you really need them, as in gathering quests where you need to mine. You should always bring your own if you expect to mine though, since a couple old pickaxes from supplies aren't going to last very long and crafting new ones during the quest is kind of annoying (bone + stone btw., or iron/machalite for the higher tiers). I'd never bring a BBQ spit on a mission unless you're specifically going to gather and BBQ meat. But chances are you aren't going to do that once you figure out how to make your cats BBQ your meat for you while you're doing more important work. (And since MHFU on iOS has the downloads from the PSP version included, you can sometimes buy raw meat from the granny in front of the guild hall, so you don't even need to hunt your own.)
