A golden Ceadus? The original was hard enough!

At least this time you don't have to chase him for three miles until you reach the arena.

@bazmeistergen, ok cool. i am game anytime i am online, just let me know.

eat food that gives water resist buff, and get water resist boost stuff, blight won't even affect you past 20.

cool... have i added your nnid?

@baz, yes we are on each others friendlist.

All of this lingo makes me feel out of touch with the game :/

One of those days when you don't hunt any monsters at all

But i made a fair bit of progress despite that. Finally started getting lightcrystals at a decent clip, built gems to supplement the missing skills of my rathian set, got some more Machalite and Monster Fluid and finally made that damn Drill Lance, and a glance at the tree showed me that i could immediately upgrade the Drill Lance to something called Red Tail.

Great work!, I keep finding myself coming back to my Rathian armour set, even though I have 'better' sets, because I just like the Rathian bonuses sooooo much

Thanks for the advice.  I will do that when I attempt fighting him again today.
