The the regular Great Sword much better than the Switch Ax GS? ive tried both and i perfer the latter since its much faster and i love the elemental discharge move, but i wonder if the GS has any unseen advantages. I know you can charge it up, but if thats all then id rater stick with the SA.

Btw, can anyone point me in the right direction to kill the Royal Luthroth (sp?). Ive tried him online, but if it wasnt for my team mate i wouldnt have ever killed him. Need some pointers.

Regarding the Great Sword, it controls differently from the Switch-Axe's version, and it can block. It's a playstyle thing.

Regarding the Royal L, aim for the mane as much as possible or, alternatively, the tail. With a switch-axe, stay on its flank (near the tail or face)as much as possible, but keep an eye on its movements: when it shakes, it's about to roll on you, so roll out of the way. Underwater, play conservatively, and don't try to combo it unless it's panting after an attack: it's just too quick for your weapon's attacks.

Sweet, is the tail and the mane the only harvestable areas? Or should i try to break other parts as well?
