When you first unlock the new grand hub, you're told that it has been inaccessible since Wyveria's fall, but Tetsuzan claims to have been here before.

This quest seems kinda rubbish at first since it only gives mid level artian parts - but, every Monster in this quest besides the target (Guardian Rathalos) has really low HP (like 1/3) so it's great for farming parts from them.

I've only done it a couple of times so far but the Monsters I saw were:

Tempered Rathalos

Tempered Spicy Chicken thing (Quematross?)

Tempered Gravios

Tempered Spicy Monkey thing (Ajarakan?)

Behold the Birdo of Steel

Please ignore the bug thats just steve hangin out.

Just randomly found this gem of an investigation in Windward Plains.
That's the maximum number of artian parts you can get for a single hunt, right?

I spent three whole days trying to get an A on that barrel bowling mini game, sweating, nearly pulling my hair out. Out of sheer frustration, I handed the controller to my girlfriend, she doesn’t like video games, never played one in her life. First try: A rank.

I’m not even mad. I’m just questioning my entire existence now.

Pic 1&3 Zoh Shia II set, 2&4 Gore II set (Perfect world and realistic parameters)

Keep in mind with Zoh Shia set you get divine blessing 3. So, that's constant healing, more armor, and way less dmg taken. All this while doing similar, if not, more dmg. It's not bad... Stop with this "its not meta" crap. Enjoy your day/evening.

P.S you're looking at "Effective Attack" in the pics.

Did a little experiment.

First, I noticed that hunters don't cart as much if at all at Zoh Shia. Guess players learned the patterns and hit boxes now.

Second, people still don't fire pods at the crystals for damage.

I did a run where I specifically prioritized firing the pods at the crystals Zoh Shia creates after an attack. Each explosion deals around 190-275 damage I think. And one run where nobody fired pods at the crystals at all. The difference was around 2 and a half minutes which is huge considering I was just playing at a random's SOS quest.

This is by far the most insane hunter profile i have seen yet.

• 4800 Quests played in 311 hours is 3:52min on average per quest WITH city time
• the player is on console as it didnt give me the option to check their steam profile

Okay, so I just picked up the game and have about 10 hours in it. I just really loved the dual blades in world, so I chose them and learned quickly about the wound attack.

I don't just steal every wound when it shows up just incase people are wondering. Some do and I hate it. I usually give it close to a minute from the wound being visible, to then actually taking it. So if anyone wants/needs a wound hit, they have close to a minute to take it.

So, why do I get messages from people after some hunts saying I'm not letting people get wound hits? I get that dual blade are lower priority, and they also destroy all other wounds in the process.

Am I not giving people enough time? If so, should I give them more time? I love the attack so I'm not going to stop using it, because that's why I chose dual blades. Am I in the wrong?

Edit: from all the comments, it is not common at all to get messages. I've come to the conclusion that people are blind and didn't see them, then got mad when I got some they assumed I took instantly. Thanks

In addition to the overhead, you can also do a side-swipe style focus strike by holding left or right while executing the strike. I only just noticed this after playing for ages. I had done it a few times and thought it must be my eyes playing tricks on me in the heat of combat or perhaps it was just what happens if you do a focus strike after a particular attack so that the animation works properly. But I just worked out that it's done by input haha.

Example footage.

These are some basic outfits I put together that I love more than the complex ones lol I've made. What are yours?

I also tried every weapon and they all feel mad fun to play, the devs did a great job for making all the weapons fun to play

If you could make any non-damage related changes to your favorite weapon to make it perfect, what would they be?

A handful of i-frames on fade slash and a focus strike that actually connects would make Switch Axe *chefs kiss*.

FOR FUCK SAKE I HATE THIS FUCKING FROG FISH LOOKING MF AND THAT DISGUSTING HIT BOX

PSA for those that didnt notice. Certain monster attacks leave them open for a focus strike either before or after the attack.

For example, Rathian's single fireball (not the big, charged one I don't think, correct me if im wrong) creates a spot you can focus strike on her mouth. Rey Dau's charged railgun gives a focus strike opportunity on his face when he's recovering. Doshaguma has one when he rears up on his hind legs for a slam. Most recently, Mizu has one after his vertical water jet.

Doing the arena quests a bunch of times really made me focus more on this mechanic, and it's awesome. It rewards dodging those hard hitting attacks the right way so you can be in position for a counter.

What are some other free focus strike openings you guys have noticed with the monsters in Wilds?

What's yalls best clear time on Zoh Shia? My top run is at 7:13 with gunlance.

I used to play the game before and everything was fine from the beginning, but recently got a new PC and I just downloaded the game and when I entered just look like..this.

I did update my GPU drivers and besides this game every other game looks and works fine.
