If you're enjoying Rise, check out Pat's ode to Monster Hunter: World's GREAT SWORD, which is a GREAT SWORD: th-cam.com/video/1sPtxKqRa0I/w-d-xo.html
Love that Pat found a way of somehow saying palamute in italics
He's turned it into an ASMR trigger, and I appreciate it
"To mount your 𝓟𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓶𝓾𝓽𝓮, just hold A."
Can't wait to hear it more in the besties podcast
I'm pretty sure he said palico during the read and had to edit it later.
@@micahjayne lmfao
“While you’re on your ~P𝔞𝔩𝔞𝔪𝔲𝔱𝔢~”
Lol I wondered why there was so much emphasis on that as well
more like Pal-a-cute! AM I RICE?
@alesgrym4622 you're goddamn rice
~*𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖆𝖒𝖚𝖙𝖊*~
To be fair Palmut would make more sense (in American English) that it would look like Pal Mutt. But Palamut not only doesn't have two t's, Pala is just a strange word to the English language so we default to the weirdest pronunciation because it's a weird word. Pal-a-Mutt is just a strange and not user friendly word. Doesn't translate well
I rlly like that this video includes like-- just little multiplayer "manners" tips too? It can be hard to know that stuff when getting into a new online game & its almost never included in beginners' guides!
As a beginner, it's hard to know what to do and what not to do so I get some anxiety in how I should act and thus never play multiplayer, so hearing these tips really help guide me in what I should try to do and I love it.
Don't trip other hunters
Don't hurt other hunters with bombs or toads
Let other people pick quests, instead of picking every time
Avoid wasting too much time
Try to cooperate
Try to inform other hunters of what you're doing using chat functions
Don't judge other hunters if they perform badly
I had my expectations low for this video but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m by no means new to Monster Hunter but I enjoyed this. I felt like I’ve learned.
@@legendarytat8278 And don't bring cluster bombs or LS
Another extremely important multiplayer manner I wish more people would have in mind:
Depending on the monster, observant players will either prefer to capture or even specifically *kill* certain monsters. Either because cap rewards are better, or because carve rewards are better for them. If a player says "Cap ready." Then cease fire, because the monster is limping and further damage risks killing it. If a player requests you kill the monster, then do not capture it for them, because you're taking away their opportunity to get a carve they might need.
I was a god damn menace with the longsword when i first picked up MHW, I wish somebody told me. It wasnt till I started playing with the Greatsword and actually launching people into the air that I realized my attacks affected others.
whoopsy
I have question polygon are you more of a slow combat person or fast combat person
don't tell me you actually used the upswing
@@doodletron65b74 its polite to launch your hammer user
Sad Sappy Sucker is one of the greatest albums ever.
waaait a minute, you can ride your dog mid-combat and sharpen your weapon while riding around? This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in a game
it's SO USEFUL
One of my favorite additions to this game. In MHW stopping to sharpen your weapon every 5 minutes was a pain in the ass. Now its super easy to slip away during a fight or do it while youre moving between areas. Letting us use items while on the Palamute has been a huge improvement for the flow of the game, you never feel like you're wasting time or stalling.
In Rise you can sharpen while riding doggo, In world you can cancel sharpen animation by rolling (you can still do this in Rise), in older game you are stuck in sharpen animation once you use whetstone
@@chastermief839 you know you could do a prototype ver of palamutes in mhw also right...
If you use the tailrider you can do everything you can do on palamutes. Just need to set a path on the map rather than manually riding
“We did it. Its finally time to hit the lizard”
Stealth ad placement: ‘no its not!’
"Insect glaive is a weapon for weirdos"
As an insect glaive user, I can confirm this 100%
sameeee T-T
or French
@@legendarytat8278 Je suis monté
I guess after I master duel blades that'll be my next one.
*cries in insect glaive mastery*
Thank god for this, this is my first monster hunter game and I was IMMEDIATELY overwhelmed. Definitely felt lost with the game tutorial, needed someone to talk it out to me.
th-cam.com/video/sz7Cp5fS4Pg/w-d-xo.html
Thank u for this makes me feel better
I’m new too. Here goes nothing!
I've played monster hunter games before and I still felt overwhelmed lol
Same!!
I enjoy that everyone is just here for the 20 min of pat asmr
P A L A M U T E
I’m watching in 1.5x speed..I don’t have 20mins to spare
I say this every time but i really wish pat would do us a solid and make a couple of genuine asmr videos about literally anything i know about the asmarbys but we need more and pat just has the natural voice for it. Like if he could make like one hour long serious asmr video i could loop forever i would be over the moon
He does have a soothing voice
I was expecting to be negged like the baby I am, but Pat ASMR works too
I love videos like this not just for starting on a new game, but also for future me who hasn't picked the game up for 8 months and forgot literally everything.
If you use a wire bug to recover from an attack midair it’s important to note that your hitboxes become active again so it possible for the monster to juggle you if you’re not careful, as opposed to just eating the dirt and having a few frames of invulnerability
I just watched an 18 minute video for a game I'm never gonna play, because it had pat. Put these voices on a video, I'll watch them.
Basically yeah, I heard Pat and knew I was gonna watch the whole thing.
I've been playing monster hunter since 2012 and am already like 15 hours into rise and I still listened anyways
Generic "You should the game is so good!!!" reply. Really tho it is great
@@cooperlittlehales6268 even if I owned it, chances are I wouldn't play it, about the only game I play nowadays is Pavloc vr.
@@ellie_shrug yeah I understand that it's definitely not for everyone (unless you like playing video games like a day job, though it's much less in rise) I was just making a joke about how recycled TH-cam comments are.
this is probably the most comprehensive beginner guide out there.
Thank you!
Trippin
2:03 you can hear him smile C:
Nerd
As a veteran, I’m really afraid of helping along new players but really excited to see a new generation learn to love this series. Looking forward to all of it!
I’m extraordinarily grateful that Pat mentioned longsword’s trip potential, as well as letting hammers take the head. Those two tips alone will make any newbies waaaay more fun to bring along
@@miku224 lol the first thing i wrote in my outline was TEACH THEM ABOUT LS TRIPPING
as a relative newbie from world (made it to Alatreon but its still my first mh game) i can't say how much i appreciate veterans that come in to help out and show us the ropes. theres nothing quite like seeing a MR 999 HR 999 drop into your SOS in a silly outfit and help you wipe the floor with a tough monster.
Im a brand new player and did not realize how unique this game truly was! I was struggling with the basics but hopefully other new players watch this video to teach them the basics!
Afraid?
This is one of the most daunting series I've ever jumped into. Thanks for the tips
Glad you found it useful!
clicked on this to let pat talk at me for 15+ minutes about a game that i dont plan to play but looks fun and cool
I’m so grateful for this video. First time playing this series and I’ve been telling my buddies how literally confusing it is for me. This definitely helped
12:00 : "The only absolutes are that the hammer should always have priority on the monster's head, and the longsword should always be on tail chopping duty".
if you're getting into this game and plan on picking up the Longsword, please for the love of god listen to what Pat says here.
@@user-dm7ui6zx2u nobody's gonna agree with you on this LS main LOL JK.
On a side note i do hope they change the LS and SA horizontals to not trip anyone at all, we know LS has great damage output, but i really hope at least they acknowledge that other players paid the same for the game and want to enjoy other weapons (I've switched to main HBG and GL now so i no longer have issues with LS mains, but i was initially a SnS main and getting tripped mid-combo can be quite infuriating.)
Yet, that tripping mechanic was initially (pre-MHW) left there so that we can hit someone off of stun or sleep. It's now more of an annoying relic since players don't actually help each other out anymore
@@user-dm7ui6zx2u well i actually do think LS or whatever slicing damage mains should really focus on prioritizing the severable parts of a monster before anywhere else before moving onto the head, especially if we have an impact main in the team. But tbh, it's not really so much of a deal right now since monsters die so easily that we have to put that statement up that says impact mains don't have priority over the head, when in fact that is the case, since that is their de facto part of the monster to put any significant damage or benefit to the hunt as a whole, slicing damage users can always use the downtime of a monster to try and sever a tail or something you know what i mean? I don't see it as being selfish to leave the head to an impact user, more of accomodating towards the hunt as a whole, which have been nerfed so much that hunting a monster no longer gives someone as much of an accomplishment than one should have had earlier.. maybe I'm just babbling i guess
@@ErdingerLi no ur right nobody's gonna agree with the weeb
Me who has played almost every monster hunter and already scene rise end credits "yeah this video sounds good"
I only play single-player games but I’m gonna watch this whole video anyway to hear Pat’s lovely voice
You can definitely play this game single player, monster hunter might not be for everyone, but I’ve been having a big-bang-blast of a time playing (in single player)
Yeah, you can have a great experience playing totally solo. The quests in the Gathering Hub, which in previous titles would be permanently scaled for multiplayer, will now scale down if you take them on by yourself.
same. I didn't like MH at all, but playing this in the background is lovely.
I'm a single player only too!👍
This *can* be a singleplayer game, like most Monster Hunter titles before it. I played all of World and MH4U solo.
"Gunlance is sluggish".
*Me flying through the air like a goddamn rocket*
-"Sure..."
Yeah honestly, gun lance is not sluggish anymore. It's been my main since mh3u and it has improved so much.
*like a goddamn valstrax
Watch the video gunlance is the new valtrax
Yknow, I was wondering why I had such a hard time getting good at the game when I picked it up, then I realized I had started off with the much more difficult online hunts than the rookie story hunts and I feel stoopid
On the bright side it was a nice way to show me how difficult the game can get if I don’t think about where I’m swinging
Just started playing today, and this videoade me realize that I also started off with with more difficult hunts 😂
Oh my god, same!!! I'm in one _right now,_ the first quest I've tried, and I am STRUGGLING. whew
Lolll, this was me all night yesterday. I was like “OMFG this is literally the first mission and I can’t kill anything! Wtffffff”
Like I would either run out of time, die, and then run out of time. It was a struggle just to kill the small monsters.
Suffice to say, I failed better with the newbie quests today when I found the single player ones
I love the audible smile in Pat's voice every time he says "Palamute.. :)"
you can read the title and know... ah yes. pat did this one. great vid pat!
I also play Who's That Polygon? based on titles.
thank you I really needed this
-baby
for some reason I wasn't sure about Monster Hunter Rise but... now I'm actually hyped
I can say one thing as a newbie, (I've done quick forays into the old 3DS games) that the MH community has been soooo incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful to new players. I used to get a lot of "git gud" from other online communities unless it was made clear that I was a grill and then it was completely other kinds of unwanted "help". MH has been soooo welcoming and helpful in a genuine way and I love it and just hope one day I git gud enough that I can help the next newbies. Don't be scared to jump right in. Dont hang back and don't be afraid to ask for advice. It's just a game and it's so much fun.
I don't even play Monster Hunter but I love Pat vids.
I just got this game two days ago ( no prior experience in the MH universe) and I’ve never used a Switch before either. Your video helped me so much! I’ve literally spent a few hours every day trying to figure out the basics, but your video taught me so much! Yes, I’ve felt daunted, but after watching my friends play this game for at least a hundred hours, it won’t stop me! I’m so excited to start hunting!! Thank you very, very much! ✌🏼💖
As a SnS (Sword and Shield) main, I would like to point out that elemental damage is better for quick hitting weapons like the SnS, Dual Blades and Insect Glaive. Slower weapons benefit more from higher normal damage
This video has helped more than any other beginner video. I'm new to the MH series. Or rather, I tried when MH World came out, but I was overwhelmed and had no idea how to do anything properly. All videos seem to be for people that have a basic understanding of the game already, but this one is tailored for the babies like me! Thank you so much!
Chef’s kiss!! Can’t believe I’m just seeing this now, but MAN I would’ve loved a guide like this when I started 4U... I was stuck with an older brother who thought it was hilarious that I didn’t need to sharpen a weapon 😓 but as always, great to hear Pat’s love for the series :’)
I have been wanting to get into monster hunter rise for some time but couldn't do it. It was all overwhelming. So glad I found this video very too the point and not a bunch extra crap to overwhelm a beginner. Before this video I thought the hub was the only place to get quests so I was handicapping myself from the start. Seriously well done.
I'm new to the series and even though I manage to understand some minor things by myself this few days I learned A LOT by checking in this video, everything was well explained and very informative, kudos for that!!
Thanks so much for this! I'm new to the series and I didn't like how overwhelmed I was with the UI and controls. I also started realizing I was not having fun because I was overwhelmed so this video really helps.
Pat: It's time to finally hit the lizard
TH-cam: ALIENWARE!
Thank you Pat, I legit bought this game with no idea what I was doing, struggled for my first hunt and navigating the UI, and now I feel a bit better!
You are a lifesaver! This was very helpful. Been trying to understand the mechanics of this game but now I'm ready to hunt! 😁
Saved this video! Thanks so much for this Pat/Polygon! Picking this game up later this week and will be my first real Monster Hunter game after being unable to really get into Monster Hunter World. After playing the demo and watching countless vids I feel like I’m finally confidently grasping the mechanics
Yo I’m so brand new to this series and this vid is the BEST and does its purpose so thank y’all for all the hard work.
Wow this was helpful. Haven’t played since the psp and I was so overwhelmed yesterday. Just going to practice these tips one at a time.
thanks for including the palico cooking animation like a real king
𝓹𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓶𝓾𝓽𝓮
Great guide, Pat! Thank you especially for the etiquette tips (especially especially about LS tripping)
Great video. Just got this for the switch and it throws a lot of stuff at you at the beginning which blew my mind. This video is perfect.
A very helpful video, thank you. I've tried various MH games over the years and I'm determined to actually get properly into this one. This video helped me understand a fair few things I wasn't sure about
Lol I'm watching this to get ready for when it comes out in January for the series x gonna be fun
As a newcomer to the series, i very much appreciate the video! Thanks!
Another tip: Watch your Zenny. It's essentially the currency needed to buy things at the shop.
There are also Points, which do the same thing, but for different shops such as the Argosy exchange/Buddy dojo/Meowcenaries.
Both Zenny and Points can be used to pay for the meals at the canteen. And Zenny is used at the smithy for upgrading/forging Armor and weapons.
Both can be earned by doing quests, but during the early game, It can be quite difficult to manage your Zenny. There are certain items which their only purpose is to be sold(steel/silver/gold/platinum eggs, The various ores that you can buy for points at the argosy's rare finds, etc...) the TH-camr GaijinHunter has a tutorial on how to make Zenny super fast.
Very helpful video! I'm just picking this up as my first Monster Hunter and the amount to learn is daunting, but more management when it's broken down simply like this
I just bought this with my friend. Thanks a bunch! Can't wait to get into this series!
Honestly this is a great refresher for veterans of the series who've been out of it for a while, thanks for the video!
The little details provided in this video are greatly appreciated, sir!
This was really useful! I was very confused at first because of the walls of text the game gives to explain stuff, and this explained things well, thank you! :)
The way Patrick says PALAMUTE
I just got this game today because I've been enjoying Monster Hunter Now and I am sooooo bad at it. This video is great :)
Thank you for the multiplayer tips. I didn’t know my attacks affect others. I’ll be more cautious.
More experienced hunters will get the brace deco in their builds when playing multiplayer. It removes the hit stun from other teammates.
Thanks for the good content, Pat! I'm not actually planning on playing this game, I could never really get into the first one, but I missed this type of content. 😊
Pat for the next asmr can you do pen clicking sounds and more tapping thanks love you
Thanks for the vid, this was the most helpful one I've found. Just bought Rise and it's my first MH game. I've wanted to break in for a while but never got around to it, finally decided to take the plunge and now I'm looking forward to becoming hopelessly addicted!
The Brace decoration/flinch free skill is a good way to mitigate those weapons that trip you up in multiplayer hunts. Pretty essential for lance users with a longsword user in the team.
Super interesting, this makes it a lot easier to get into this game! Thanks Pat!
What a great beginner’s guide! I’m gonna show this to all of my newbie friends.
I put over 1000 hours into mh4 with my 3ds back in the day. I'm so excited to play with the insect glaive and switch axe again. Thanks for the refresher!
Great video! The only thing I noticed missing I would definitely tell a new player is superman dive and 'stay down to avoid followups'.
The insect glaive is the weapon I started with. Once you get the hang of it and know when to strike they're pretty easy
whats kinda funny is that when i was a beginner, i loved the switch axe and insect glaive
me who has beaten world, 90% of iceborne, and already has done multiple hunts in rise: yea i'll watch this
This was extremely helpful for I am a Monster Hunter veteran, but I needed a different appraoch in explaning the series gameplay to some friends looking to start Monster Hunter.
Good video, most beginners videos are not for beginners ☹️ I’ll be buying this today and starting my hunt 👍
Best guide I've seen for the basics, thanks!
I like the part when you said about the role of a Hammer and Long Sword wielder during quests. My co-workers and I were doing this way back since the PSP days...it was also the time I had to learn another weapon aside from being a Hammer-main.
you literally save me haha 3 days playing without knowing it. and finally got to enjoy haha. this 18 mins literally make me slay more than 8 huge monster alone haha
Thanks, Polygon. I really needed this.
This is the first video I find with actually some advice, thank you very much
Legit I started playing World entirely based on seeing Pat and Griffin's streams from years back and now MH is one of my favourite series of all time. I still watch the streams on an embarrassingly consistent basis - it's the hyperfixation that MH really does lend itself to. My friend got me Rise last week and I just finished the main story tonight - as Griffin said, I'm "deep in that post-game grind".
I have just bought this game today and your video was a big help!
Got this used a year later and played an hour in and it’s very intimidating. Video definitely helped so far. I was doing quests on the quest board thinking they were story quests 😂
Love that right away, the line "cool lizards" is accompanied by footage of the bird like monkey enemy
This is my first MH game. So far I'm enjoying it and can easily see myself becoming VERY into it, but only if I can get decent at the game lol. I have to say that it seems very intimidating still and there's a lot to learn. Also, I feel like the in-game tutorials and explanations could be a lot better. But I know MH fans are crazy about it, so I'll keep pushing.
Thank you so much. MH never clicked with me, but this helped make Rise seem more approachable. I’m gonna give it another go
Lmao I can’t believe that I was like “yoooo why the hell is this monster still a live I have ten minutes left” but apparently that quest was a multiplayer quest lmao
Great video, hopefully this helps plenty of people get into the game!
I just finished Stories 2 and that got me interested in the series, thanks for the introduction, hopefully this isn´t too overwhelming for poor turn-based focused me
I know this is an older video, but thanks so much! I was trying out the demo (to see if I want to spend money of the full thing) & it explained nothing. 😭This explains the whole system so much better - I hadn't even realized there were combo attacks & I was accidentally using items.
4:00 actually the best advice i heard today. It is just so true. interest in a topic helps so much improving at it.
Thank you!! Best guide I've seen!
i'll always recommend the hammer to anyone unless they really need to chop off a tail. being able to hold your charged attack with a hammer while running around to get a good window for attack is very op. also being able to cancel out of your charged attack or follow through into an evade makes hammer mobility feel pretty good.
thanks, pat! This is the quality mhrise content we crave.
This is a really excellent video. Didn't expect to watch the whole thing.
I just got this game (first time monster hunter plauer) was not having fun at all until I found this video!!! I am a visual learner. So the in game instructions dont mean anything to me. But this video was my savior. Now I'm addicted and cant stop playing
Thanks for the tutorial. It explains a lot.
I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never played any of the Monster Hunter games. I know, I know why haven’t I played them before. Lol
I been playing WOW for years. lol Gonna pick a range weapon to start out with. Playing WoW my main toon was a Hunter. Thanks again! ✌🏻❤️
Why do I smile so much when he says Palamute omg
Thx really good intro video, really helped me get into the game
I'm not a beginner but I'm watching this just to see Pat make more Monster Hunter content.
Great vid exactly what I needed the other ones I watched that were SUPPOSED to be beginner tutorials were just vids of all the monsters talking about what was new in Mh rise NOT beginner tutorials for people new to monster hunter
Simple, concise and straight to the point.
