| EntilZha said: Okay, I have a basic noobish question. Is there always a best armour weapon combination for each monster, and if so, can you determine it from just paying attention during the game, do you need to keep trying combinations until one works, or do you have to search online to get the info? I find that the game itself (offline) does not seem to give much information about this stuff. I just read in a MH3 online guide that "hammers prove worthwhile because they make it easier to break certain parts of the enemy anatomy for item drops." That is something that I don't remember being mentioned in the game. I hate reading guides as I feel that I am somehow cheating, but I do not want to miss out on good stuff I can't really learn any other way. Opinions? |
Weapon types i've found are best to determined by trial and error (but i also find certain weapon types unusable), but armor types are easy to research on the internet. Bosses generally stick to an elemental theme, so you can build matching elemental types from lower bosses. For example: Qurupecco is fire, so his armor will be good against later fire bosses, like Agnaktor, Rathian and (obscenity deleted) Rathalos.
Also, the bosses have certain abilities that armor sets will work well against. Flying bosses generally batter you with the air pushed by their wings, but you can get an ability to resist that from certain sets.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
