| curl-6 said: Hunts and gatherings quests have a time limit, but you can go on expeditions that have no time limit. When your stamina gets to minimum you can no longer sprint and can only climb a very short distance. Inventory pouch has 24 slots but items stack and this doesn't include endemic life, so basically don't worry about inventory space, grab everything. Some general tips: - Sword & Shield is the easiest weapon to start with as it is simple, fast, and allows you to block. The lance is also a good starter for its ability to block and play defensively. - Don't get greedy when going in for hits; it's better to leave a combo unfinished than to leave yourself wide open to getting hit. - Eat a meal before each hunt, and once on the field, before heading to the monster, spend some time exploring to gather buffs and helpful endemic life. - Get into the habit of always using wirefall (ZL + B) after getting hit, to escape getting combo'd. - Pay attention to a monster's tells; they have specific vocal and animation cues before each attack, so learn these to tell what they're going to do next and act accordingly. |
Rise is the first MH game for me as well. I feel completely lost between all the items, crafts, exchanges, shops, substitutions talents, chumskys palicos and how to improve them, etc.....
But everything curl-6 said is very usefull! One more thing I learnt though is to check the Monsters weaknesses and strengths before going to hunt.
If I never fought the Monster I look it up on the internet, once I met it, I go to the Compendium to see all the infos about him.
- What I look for the most is the Element of the monster (to increase my defense accordingly by eating the right dango, change my armor, my talisman and bring the right items
- Second thing is what Element the Monster is weak against. That way I can choose a weapon with that element that can do more damages
- Third thing is which part of the monster in the most vulnerable (often head and tail tip) to try to hit those spots while fighting.
I use double blades and for now i'm mostly smashing buttons, I should try other weapons and learn the combos!
