u/[deleted] Mar 04 '25

Was it a getting careless or greedy series of carts or an actual having difficulty series of carts?

12

u/primalmaximus ​ Mar 04 '25

For me, it was being careless.

I went into the fight with a Greatsword and an SnS when it was a monster I'd never fought before.

I should have gone into the fight with my comfort weapon in Wilds, the Bow.

I made the same mistake with the explosive monkeys. I had just been hunting Romp with a Greatsword and SnS and forgot to swap to my comfort weapon of Bow.

And funny enough, this is my first time maining Bow or Greatsword. My usual go-to weapons are Dual Blades and SnS. But since I hate the way Wild's DB plays, I decided to try maining Bow.

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '25

My first cart was gypceros entirely because I got cocky and started doing GS TS combo only. I'm still embarrassed. Great game.

7

u/primalmaximus ​ Mar 04 '25

Yep. I like how this is game is getting me to use a bunch of other weapons I've never used before.

I also love what they did with Red Spirit Gauge for Longsword.

2

u/Rider-VPG Mar 04 '25

Red Gauge is now a timed demon mode where you want to be using Helmbreaker into Spirit Release just as it ends, then pop the wounds or counter to get straight back into red. I love it.

3

u/drake_vallion Mar 04 '25

Gypceros was such a pain in the beta, and then when I fought him in the actual game it was actually pretty easy since as it turns out the HR hope armor has level 3 stun resistance.

u/viladali Mar 04 '25

My Greatsword tip for players new to the weapon or just in general is to play the hit and run playstyle. You can't commit to charge attacks outside of damage periods if you don't understand the monster's moveset. So, just slap the monster and run away. Quick Sheathe 3 is easily accessible in LR, and a few of the early Greatswords have Critical Draw or Punishing Draw - pick whatever.

Once you're comfortable with the pace of the weapon and more comfortable with monster movesets, you can start predicting monster moves to set up commitment attacks or start guard cancelling.

8

u/personn5 Mar 04 '25

I carted twice on it, can't remember the first death but the second? It did some big attack the game warned me to hide behind rubble for.

Problem is he had trapped me in a corner of the map. Even trying to use glaive to vault over him I was stuck pressed against a wall and couldn't do anything.

Also kind of annoyed me because I severed his tail but didn't carve it--I figured I could run back and carve it after it died, or thought it would move to a new zone first and I could grab it then. But nope, Big Ice guy died and cutscenes immediately and put me in the next zone.

6

u/viladali Mar 04 '25

Hah, I cut the tail off and couldn't carve it either. Think that'll make newcomers angry for the rest of time.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '25

I've been farming odd-doggie for plates and became so overcome with bloodlust that I forgot to tail carve (highest drop rate source). Feelsbadman

2

u/Rider-VPG Mar 04 '25

I was fighting the 2 Ajarakan in the arena and was getting so annoyed with them that when the second one was dead I just immediately ended the quest instead of carving. Oops.

2

u/Iamblichos Mar 04 '25

I feel vindicated. I carved it mid-battle and risked a cart because I suspected... I'm sorry your common sense caused you a problem. As a DB main, I assure you that never happens to me :D

2

u/Ill-Age6164 Mar 04 '25

Partially having difficulty, partially not having good weapons for the fight and partially not having voice lines/ popup that tells you to pull down the ice to block the giga explosion. Oh and I forgot I had a BBQ grill and not being able to make food at the popup camp to have full health.

u/viladali Mar 04 '25 edited Mar 04 '25

He did straight up warn you about the "goliath" before pointing the path out to you. You ask a question, he gives an answer - who is he to stop you from making bad mistakes, or to assume that your skills weren't up to snuff?

Besides, you travelled with him, saved him, and slaughtered two monsters before him. Remember that in this land, the people do not fight monsters. From his point of view, you're the only person he has ever met who can take on a monster.

You can probably just wash it and it'll smell fine. As long as the gorilla isn't actively farting on it, it'll likely lose any smell.

u/Tonberryc ​ Mar 03 '25 edited Mar 04 '25

I love these guys, but I'm 90% certain they are an invasive species. I want to give them a pass because they're adorable and Rove is magnificent, but they are an absolute menace.

Edit: I wasn't expecting my comment to draw out so many biologists. Apparently, the correct term for a native species that overwhelms their native environment is an "Aggressive Native." So, these little hellions are not technically invasive since they've lived in the forest biome for so long, but they are absolutely tormenting every living thing in sight. Except Rove. We should all be more like Rove.

377

u/EpyonComet Mar 03 '25

Well, the Keepers have records of them, so it depends on where the line is drawn as to what's considered native, but they've been there a long time.

275

u/HungryGull Mar 03 '25

They're descendants of Lynian citizens of Wyveria. Funnily enough, they seem to understand that better than anyone else in the Forbidden Lands other than the Keepers or Wyverians.

86

u/Matasa89 Mar 03 '25

Hopefully, one day they will fulfill similar duties as the Felynes we know and love, being a part of society instead of isolated and unsupported.

59

u/SoylentVerdigris Mar 04 '25

There are tribal felynes (and melynx) on the old world as well. Lynians taking part in human society are exceptions rather than the rule.

28

u/CopainChevalier Mar 04 '25

It feels like most of the tribes just don't know anything about the other tribes existing, which is probably part of why

95

u/Bobboy5 ​stick w/o bug Mar 04 '25

Zatoh regularly rides through the forest after the Sandtide to trade with the tribes of the Basin, and he brings a crystal to give to the Wudwuds. They all know about each other, they just prefer to stick to their generally quite safe villages to avoid the giant monsters.

23

u/CopainChevalier Mar 04 '25

You know what? You're right. I blanked out on that stuff somehow

u/th5virtuos0 Mar 04 '25

I would sacrifice a testicle for a MonHun MMO with different playable races including Grimalkynes, Felynes, Wudwuds and the like!

10

u/archimedies Mar 04 '25

I don't think so, because one of the descendants in the city asks if the Palico is a Wudwud and is glad they are still around. This is when you first reach the Keepers place and are exploring the city.

13

u/ArseneJoker Mar 04 '25

Yeah, while the Gajalakas have their moments, the Wudwuds were a lot more open to deal with us before attacking. The Scarlet Forest IS their territory after all and seeing as this is relatively unknown territory, I for one do not mind in the least paying tribooty to them.

u/Malaix Mar 03 '25

Makes me wonder what happened to Rove to make him Rove. clearly at some point he rejected the ways of his Congala fur obsessed tribooty collecting jungle cousins. Maybe there's something in that honey they are always eating that isn't so good for the brain...

28

u/DamnDude030 Mar 04 '25

I would gamble his tribe / family is a bunch of intelligent Wudwuds with access to books and teaching. He is from a far land and doesn't even share the same fashion sense of the local Wudwuds.

14

u/viladali Mar 04 '25

I figured it was just because he travels, which doesn't seem like a very Wudwud thing to do. Traveling brings you to experience other ways of living, puts many things into perspective, throws you against challenges that mature you as an individual, and the mundane walking for hours gives you time to deliberate about the world. Probably why a lot of the traveling wanderer tropes are portrayed as really intelligent people.

I love them anyway

Sorry but Rove is a ride or die companion. Rove JP voice actor is peak that deep philosophical voice is just so fun and contrasts the WudWuds so much I really liked him in the story.

And yet I’d invite every one of these lil assholes to my puny hovel for a party

You misspelled cute little guy.

I was so shook when I saw little fuzzy bastards in the forest, and instead of talking clash of clan cats, it was talking mushroom otters

I've only had wudwuds for 5 days, but if anything happens to them, I'm gonna kill everyone in this room and then myself.

I love that they added Grumpuses from Bugsnax

Rove is straight up a dark souls character. I expect bro to start laughing at the end of every sentence, or leave an item where I saw him last after doing a seemingly innocuous quest objective.

This post made me sad. I love the wudwuds

u/darksidephoto Mar 05 '25

So are wudwuds just jackass cousins of palicos ?

2

u/doubleo_maestro Mar 07 '25

What?! They are not assoles, they just have an intense love for life, to the point that impedes the actual duration of their lives

u/SippinSwervinSteve Mar 04 '25

A lot of people are talking about Rove but is he from the wudwuds tribe? I thought he was just a lynian. I didn't think he was associated with the forest tribe

wish we could make armour out of them

I'd like everyone to experience Tri/3 Ultimate and the wonderful hunting companions of Cha-Cha and Kyamba. The Wud wuds are very similar in character to the shakalalas from those games and it was excellent to be reminded of them during this story!

u/bellystraw Mar 04 '25

Yeah, just got to high rank and the first intro cutscene is so funny. Love those little dickheads

u/TheWickedGod ​ Mar 04 '25

If not puntable, why puntable shaped and sized?

u/SnooBananas2861 Mar 04 '25

Something I love about Rove its that he can get caught again by a Nerscylla. My boy still doing poetry waiting for death.

u/The_Gabrich Mar 04 '25

Wudwuds in spanish are funny af and better written than any other bit in the whole script

u/AttitudeHot9887 Mar 04 '25
