I need help!

I just started mh wilds today100% new to everything you could think of, closest thing here was horizon

And I am struggling!!

I am not sure if it is the gameplay style but I just beat the boss before the beginning of ch2 and I would have NOT made it without the in game assists and the patience of dodging and shooting 4-7 damage(or 2!) Every time. I chose bow main, secondary longsword.

Am I too weak or is it normal at the beginning? What should I do?

[u/neubourn → u/JustARedditPasserby]

Bow is tricky because you need to master your evade skill, without that, you will constantly be out of stamina, and that makes it extremely difficult to attack and dodge their attacks. Bow can be a fun weapon, once you have a solid grasp of monster attack animations and can quick evade them regularly.

Honestly, for brand new players, I would recommend you start with the Lance. You can pretty much block every attack, can just hold R2 and learn their attack animations that way without dying. You dont really need to worry about upgrading your armor very often since your shield will help block most damage anyway. Lance is the safest way to learn monster attacks, and once you learn those, using other weapons becomes much much easier since you will know what to look out for to evade

I kinda think I got it! (After a whole game of it) I wouldn't have wanted any other weapon- I'll find other ways to do more damage

[u/Fatality_Ensues → u/JustARedditPasserby]

Ok, so, the usual suspects first. Are you grilling meals in your tent, or at least eating Well-Done Steaks when your meal runs out? You do get a lavish feast from the NPCs sometime in Chapter 2, but that still only lasts so long. Have you been keeping up with upgrading your armor and/or weapon? Quematrice gear is pretty easy to craft and a decent start for any Hunter. Are you bringing the right consumables to the quest? Potions, Mega Potions, Nullberies, Antidotes/Herbal Medicine, etc are all indispensable parts of a Hunter's gear. What part of the hunt exactly are you having trouble with? Have you tried changing weapons or using different approaches (sticking to the monster's ass or its side instead of the front, for example)?

[u/JustARedditPasserby → u/Fatality_Ensues]

Ok so guilty here I don't eat and while I have the latest weapon upgrades I still stayed with my og choice for drip because I don't like the other armors

[u/Dianwei32 → u/JustARedditPasserby]

Bow can be a bit of a challenge if you don't know all of its mechanics and playstyle. If you really want to stick with Bow, you could look up a guide to learn the mechanics of how it works. You could also try a different weapon to see if you enjoy it more. If you're still learning, I would suggest a weapon that can block like Sword and Shield or Lance. There are other weapons that can block, but those two are the most beginner friendly, imo.

[u/JustARedditPasserby → u/Dianwei32]

I am more used to dodging than parrying, I have also been a bit "tried" by the code vein dlcs such as hellfire knight(who is relentless) and the thunder guy

[u/DestroyedArkana → u/JustARedditPasserby]

I would suggest trying sword and shield.
