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.

I've been crafting every available armor set and these are some of my OCs. I still have all the Mizu, Rarity 7, and Rarity 8 armor sets to make. Hope you guys enjoy them as much as I have been :)

I can't believe they didn't even say nothing about this beforehand. One of the best thing we got on this patch tbh, and this place looks truly beautiful!

Im fighting for my life here!

I wanted to see how people felt about the OG meals before the holiday meals start showing up. In terms of the food itself. Hot Azuz is my fav, I love seafood. Followed by Suja jokbal, and Kunafa cheese naan. Sild is bottom tier, like wtf some raw veggies and steamed garlic?

In terms of food skills, I'd say I like Suja the most useful since you are always breaking parts, and the moxie buff does happen. I feel like Azuz and Kunafa are equal, and Sild is again bottom tier cuz I don't capture and Moxie Meal seems suspect.

I've been crashing nonstop since the update, I've tried just about everything under the sun to fix it: reinstalling game and steam, reinstalling windows, using ddu to reinstall graphics and chipset drivers, disabling overlays, steam input controllers both on and off, all low settings, disabling ddr, dlss, etc, low textures, hi textures, uninstalling hi texture dlc, replacing the dstorage and core files, increasing and decreasing the vram, changing windows power settings, taking out controller entirely (keyboard only), verifying integrity (and patching when it finds something), playing in and out of lobbies (1 player mode), running steam/mhw as admin... Nothing works. I have an old ryzen 5 8 core processor, but a 2080 ti geforce card.

Here's the crash report:

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

Was able to use my Artian LS

I just finished main story of sunbreak and i was thinking of playing world. Not sure which weapon to use this time (gs main). Any recommendations?

I swear it was at the smithy but now even though I have a full tier 7 set I can't find the option to set decorations anywhere.

I have been unable to log in since the update. On startup, I get Arkveld on the screen for a minute, health and safety warning, Re Engine logo, four company logos, loading save data, then it gets to “Initializing Network” and instantly crashes after less than a second.

I have troubleshot in every way imaginable, restoring licenses, restarting the console, disconnect then reconnect the internet, uninstall then reinstall the game, truly everything I could think of.

My save has over 100 hours, every gold crown, etc. I just want to play the game. Does anyone have a method of fixing this or contacting Capcom? I already submitted a ticket, which I feel will never be responded to for how isolated my instance feels, I have seen no one else online with an issue like mine. Any idea of how to fix this or just outright contact Capcom would be greatly appreciated. (On PS5 in U.S.)

got this yesterday but was so tired i saved it and went to bed, i feel this is pretty good.

So ever since I joined a SOS investigation and got booted I haven't been able to do anything involving lobbies. Recommended,Search and Private don't do anything now and making a solo lobby works but I still can't look for any... Anyone else experiencing this?

I am stuck after speaking to Nata to begin the mission. After the conversation/cut-scene ends at the beginning of the mission, my hunter automatically jumps onto his Seikret. From this point, I have access to the menu but I cannot perform any actions or move. Retrying from the last checkpoint, or reloading from the Title Screen does not work, because the game has autosaved after I spoke to Nata. I believe it is because my Palico is stuck in a Camp decoration - the Palico Chair. I can hear it in the background.

It's basically the same situation this user found themselves in:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/1jrfo7s/stuck_on_full_circle_quest_due_to_seikret_being/

Does anyone have a solution? I have reached out to Capcom Support and have been told I should just restart the game, but this does not fix the problem. I don't want to start over from the beginning.

Does this mean Bloodbath also returns as well? Think about it. Mizu gets access to his Soulseer abilities as soon as you break his head. So technically, if we break one of Diablos’s horns, we could get access to him using Bloodbath attacks. That would be awesome if that happens.

Putting aside just how beautiful the whole performance is in general, this is probably the most wholesome hub experience I've had in MH since pre-World. The fact you can be idling in the hub and both NPCs and other players start to gather around the stage when she shows up, and people are actually sat around the tables emoting, setting off fireworks when she finishes etc. It just feels so much like that classic MH interaction that I was sorely missing in World in particular.

I know the hub came later than we would've liked but they honestly knocked it out of the park with this one

No idea how this happened but thank you investigations. Lol

From zero to two in one fell swoop.

I'm so happy about this, I've had a lot of fun!

I wanted to get the dragon talisman for a dragon build, however, I can't get Vespoid shells from drops because I'm in high rank, if i try, I get vespoid caracapse instead, if anyone knows how I can still get vespoid shells, it would help me a ton.

So…. Out of the top 10k how many do you all think are cheaters? I don’t see how people could get a sub 3 minute clear on Doshaguma and that is 6k out of 10 right there. Maybe I’m wrong but I’ve not seen anyone post a legit looking run that’s under 3 minutes.

I keep seeing people with these glowing angel fairy things following them. What are they? How do you get them?
