1 Go into the quest launcher settings and set player limit to 2 and only support hunters. This allows you to have at least one support npc that if he faints it doesn't count as a penalty and at the same time keep the palico active so he can heal/revive you and draw attention to himself. 2 Opt for defensive ingredients like Vegetables, Sharp Kunafa Cheese and Eastern Honey/Wild Herb. I don't know if Wild Herb works to mitigate the bubble status so feel free to swap it out for a third ingredient of your choice. 3 If you happen to hunt Mitsu in the Forest starting from area 12, when he moves through area 13 try to be quick to trigger the dangerous rock trap as soon as he passes under it. That's a lot of free damage. I noticed that Mitsu swims very slowly when he moves, so it shouldn't be too difficult. I don't know exactly what areas he can be in at the start of the hunt and what paths he uses to move so this point might not be very useful. 4 Go with the weapon you feel most comfortable with. For example i went with thunder SnS because it is extremely easy to execute perfect guard and the slide is super useful for both defense and mobility. I know that Mitsu is weak to Thunder/Dragon. Obviously capture it to make the whole thing a little quicker and easier.

Following these tips my hunt was relatively easy. 12 minutes without playing great. I hope this helps.

This has gotten me curious for a while now but who is Diva actually? I know there are different versions of her but is she an ancient being? Is she a reincarnation of all the other divas from past MH games? When she comes to sing she appears from a cloud of smoke and when the it's almost morning she disappears in a blinding light, not to mention there is no way to get on or off the stage she sings on so she MUST have some type of power, but I just wanna if you guys can give me a answer I will appreciate it.

(Send Guts plz)

We're already enterning an era of monsters having bloated damage output to inflate the difficulty for people who called the game too easy. Not calling this a bad thing of course, it's okay to have some hunts where getting one shot is a threat!

Zoh Shia isn't so bad, I actually quite enjoy the hunt and find it to be a balanced challenge. 5 Strength Tempered Mizutsune on the other hand, has several one shots if your armor isn't maxed out on defense, and not just a few attacks either, pretty much any time its eye glows blue, it will one shot you with just about all of its moves.

Your HP bar will be flashing basically every other attack, and I wouldn't call this unfun or anything, but the first time I fought the monster, I was certainly on edge for sure and I'm surprised I did not faint or get revived, I also definitely should have lost Moxxie at one point, but for the most part I played super chicken to make sure I didn't over commit to anything that would get me killed.

It was such a jarring difficulty jump from normal Mizu, going from slaying the monster in roughly 6 minutes with it dealing average damage to slaying the monster in about 15 minutes and nearly getting one shot every 10 seconds.

Personally, I think Mizu is up there with Tempered Arkveld and Tempered Gore right now, and honestly, it could even be more difficult than them in some ways, because with those two they don't necessarily one shot you outside of select moves, they will more so knock you into a follow up position that can get you killed. With Mizu, it's just one shot after one shot lol.

If you have a better set or recommendations, please share them!

I see a lot of people struggling in Wilds with the new Zoh Shia fight.

Pro tip; farcasters are insanely helpful. If you’re new to the game you’ve probably never used a farcaster. A farcaster is an item that instantly fast travels you to the nearest camp, even in combat.

Why is this useful?

I’ve seen Zoh Shia nuke several hunters who were trying to chug potions. If you can’t take another hit, and ZS is slinging fireballs and lightning bolts left and right, just use your farcaster. It’s faster than a potion, gets you out of danger, and gives you space to eat, heal, and sharpen.

Zoh Shia is a fight without built in breaks, unlike nearly every other hunt in the game. Sometimes instead of a tactical sharpen, you just need to create that break for yourself.

I am not a speed runner by any means, I main SnS but do play almost every weapon. I have about 40 solo kills so far and I was curious about people’s kill times on the HR Zoh Shia so far? I finally just got a sub 10 minute with SnS. Never really was into the “speed running” but with how this fight is and how long it is compared to others it’s fun to try to push myself every time I fight it.

And more importantly, how do I get one?!

Based on what i observed she spawns every 2 hrs night time ig so 12 times a day?

Smite of the gods? How about a nice side-flip for your troubles.

Really bummed about this. Tried deleting the shadercache folder to re-optimize the shaders, still regularly down below 50fps. If this keeps up the game should be unplayable but TU3!

Lol.

I love this fight , what do you about Zoh Shia guys?

Not new to the series, but the HR Zoh Shia Is giving me problems. I managed to beat It in the First mission, but i played rather safely and used like 30 options. Now in trying to kill It again to get that gem, and i'm realizing that the Hammer seems really the most inefficient weapon to beat It. You gotta focus on that giant head, but it's really the most Dangerous zone to play around with the Hammer having Little to no mobility and no guard. He goes for that downward Fire breath, unavoidable even with extended Dodge if you are already attacking, or that rathian Walk that does ridiculous amount of damage and stun, and if you use offset Attack as much as i do (cause the entirety of Wilds teaches you how much valuable they are) you'll find yourself having problems doing some on him cause 80% of his attacks are aoe. Just a simple post asking if i'm the only One having problems with this specific weapon, or even maybe some tips.

Messing around with photo mode and first time I see this. Crazy level of details.

I recently picked up the game and have spent about an hour tweaking settings and noticed the rasterized global illumination was extremely grainy and added a very muddy "texture" over everything, when I turn on RT it completely fixes this and makes the game look 10x better. This is also on the "Low" RT setting.
