I'd say the first step to becoming a better hunter is to realize that learning your weapon is only one small piece of the puzzle. So many people get focused on the mechanics of the weapons, they ignore everything else. 1) learn what your items do 2) learn what the status effects are 3) learn about the monster's weaknesses 4) learn about the monster's weak parts 5) learn about food buffs 6) learn about map interactions 7) learn about slinger ammo 8) learn about sleep multiplier 9) learn where palico helpers are 10) unlock gadgets 11) unlock mantles 12) expand botanical garden 13) craft charms 14) make armor sets 15) upgrade most used armor pieces 16) make item sets 17) customize radial menu and get used to it This is basically all the stuff in the game that requires reading. The stuff people tend to ignore learning.

This was actually so helpful thank you! I am very new to monster hunter, and action RPGs in general. I failed the anjanath quest 4 times miserably, after watching this and taking your advice I killed him with 0 faints. Gonna keep all this advice in mind for the rest of my hunts!! Great video 😊
Great video! To echo your comment about playing carefully and not going for attacks when you don’t have an opening, it’s helpful to remember that trading a hit of yours on the monster for the monster getting a hit on you is not usually worth it. Unless your weapon has some way to counterattack (lance counter guards, longsword foresight slash or iai counter, and charge blade guard points all come to mind), you don’t usually gain much from getting hit, and the portion of the monster’s health that your one extra hit will take is usually tiny compared to the monster taking probably a third or more of your health and forcing you to spend time retreating and healing. In some rare cases, like if you’re low on time or the monster is weak and you’re using something where that one hit might end the hunt, trading hits can work out, but it’s not usually a good idea to let the monster hit you unless you’re either planning to counter it or are certain you’re at the very end of the hunt. Ultimately, staying in the fight is more important than always attacking, since even though you might lose some damage by not constantly attacking, you’d lose a lot more damage if you faint and have to run back to the monster. On a similar note, just because a monster is limping doesn’t mean the hunt is over yet. For non-elder dragons that can be captured, that offers a way out, but for elder dragons or if you’re not capturing your target, the monster deals just as much damage to you with 1% health left as it would at full health. Especially if you’re low on remaining lives for the hunt, don’t get too greedy or you might regret it. As mentioned in the video, you usually have 50 minutes for a hunt, and that’s usually plenty of time to win even if you’re getting knocked around, so don’t feel like you have to rush it. Just stay calm and keep hitting the monster when you can, and if your weapon is at the stage it should be and you’re hitting it at least a little whenever you get an opening, the timer shouldn’t be much of an issue
I am on a fresh Insect Glaive playthrough, with over 140 hrs in Gunlance, and i cannot begin to tell other new Hunters how INVALUABLE this guide is. The game slowly teaches you these concepts but this is really the way the monsters are meant to be studied and not hacked at and traded with. Im enjoying my run so far and hopefully taking it all the way to Iceborne 🔥🔥🤝 great vid man thanks for the refresher too !
So something to note is that you do not NEED elemental damage for MOST monsters in the game as a matter of fact there are plenty of situations where straight up raw damage (no element) is better so dont stress too much about the element unless you are using a weapon that specifically benefits from it. Basically as long as your weapons element isnt one that the monster is STRONG AGAINST you should be fine.
The thing that helped the game click for me was when someone basically told me, “It’s called Monster HUNTER, not Monster Fighter.” That helped me realize that this was a game where you’re supposed to use everything at your disposal and have a plan going in. I was used to ARPGs with limited consumables that I had to hoard, but everything in MH is renewable so for once I don’t have to worry about it
I do agree that light weapons are less punishing, but for people who just wanna be forced to learn openings via trial by fire, Greatsword requires you to get a hang on what the monster does. Helps someone learn when to not overextend, as some weapons will let you attack even when it's not a clear opening. If you don't play greatsword, going back to your main after trying to get the flow on a monster you have trouble with using the GS can help you fast track getting a handle of it.
Just started playing World a few weeks ago. There was absolutely too much thrown at you all at once, and I quickly started skipping all the "tutorials". I didn't find myself ever thinking, "man should have read that tutorial." Even now, I skip it all, and I'm not complaining yet. I have put almost 100 hours into the game just because I'm enjoying the grind. Reaching the end of the base game content and considering getting the Iceborne expansion soon.
For someone who has almost 500 hours into MHW being my first monster hunter game. I still get really overwhelmed by this game. I reached Fatalis but the wall I have to overcome to defeat Fatalis seems incredibly high. I need to at least finish the first phase that way I can summon other people. I usually prefer playing solo but Fatalis is meant to be fought with other hunters so I don't really have that option. Fatalis hits like a truck and has very small openings. I play hammer so I don't think my weapon is good for that fight. I think if I could figure out a good build then I would feel more confident. People have been telling me to run maxed exploit weakness, max critical eye, max agitator, max critcal boost, master touch and max health boost. Problem is I get stunned a lot so I maxed out stun resistance. It is so hard to play without it. I don't know how people can play without it. I drink potions very slowly so I am debating upping speed eater, I also really like free meal so I don't have to worry about loosing heals. I also really like maxing out earplugs since monster roar so much, but all these things I like to play with make it so I get less crits, and do less damage. So, I really don't know what to do. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. It's stupid I know lol. Sorry this is so long. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Im probably overthinking all of this but it genuinely has been stressing me out. I have always struggled with making builds in literally every game I have played. I like being able to do everything. I don't like to have limitations to what skills I can use but that is unfortunately something I can't change. Anyways, I'll shut up now lol. If you read all of this thank you 😊
I think you can look into speedruns of your weapon and observe how they do the fight. Look into which moves can be exploited and after that there's really nothing you can do but get gud.
All the skills you just mentioned are in the Tigrex’s armor and, although it has not the best value when it comes to armor and elemental defences, it can still work. Personally I think you’re overthinking the problem because it is a monster made to be challenging so all you need to do is adapt to the fight, also more damage imo is better because you minimise the time you have to fight it and, if I were to make a build with an hammer I’d always go with 3 pieces of Frostfang Barrioth for Slugger 5 and 2 pieces of Raging Brachydios for Agitator 7. Anyway good luck and have fun :D
I have defeated Fatalis 3 times now with friends. I have most of his beta armor. I think I mostly found a build that works for me. I have been enjoying mushroomancer, which replaces speed eating. I have maxed out critical eye, exploit weakness, critcal boost, stun resistance, agitator, evade window, divine blessing, and health boost. I think that is all of the main ones. I have noticed I am finishing fights a lot faster. I'm not enjoying not having earplugs, though. I did use to have it maxed out. I did find it gave me more openings, but I'm trying to get used to dodging through roars
I just bought it on steam like 3 days ago never played any monster hunter games before I’m hooked 😅 This video helped out a lot the game doesn’t explain much but that’s okay there’s always TH-camrs like you ✌️
This video shows exactly how monster hunter makes fun. Preparing, thinking, changing weapons etc its a shame that the norm is: start game - get dragged by another player - be overpowered against every enemy - get bored and stop playing
That was me too. Even now I still get my ass kicked by different monsters. Prepared, see the openings and still get sniped by something. But seeing your surroundings is important too. I may need traps and bombs for certain monsters and have a few good matchups when it comes to weapons I use.
Imho, the reason a lot of people bounce from MH is that the menus are objectively clunky and counter-intuitive. Fighting is a lot of fun (once you find a weapon that clicks with you), but the menu seems to actively work against you understanding what it is going on.
as a user of one of the heavy weapons, the hammer is the easiest weapon to use in that category, and i would definitely recommend it to green horns. sure, it's reach is short, and you can't cut tails, but you have something the great sword wishes it had, movement while charging, very useful when you're still studying a monsters move set spotting the openings. and you can deal either several small hits or one big hit. and with the stun mechanic you can make your own opening. just remember to stop moving when you're charging for the big hit.
The hammer is one of the easiest and the most simple weapon in the game however it teachs you the core mechanics and position and focusing on weakspots. It's amazing and so fun to use.
Great video! As for future videos, something I've long been DESPERATE for is a "how to become better" video at the intermediate-to-high level. In particular, I have no idea how people at that level get by without a shield. I can solo just about anything in the game other than the multiplayer raids, but only with the lance. If I try to use something like hunting horn or switch axe, I'm hopeless against anything beyond an odogaron. Of course there are videos by the VERY good people who are able to manage every flinch and KO to such a degree that it hardly seems like the monster's even participating, but I'm not able to apply that at my level. At something like 1500 hours in over the years I may just be as good as I'm ever going to get, but I still feel like I'm missing something.
I wouldn't say that's intermediate to high, but maybe low intermediate to true intermediate. I guess I'd say just try more weapons without shields - having a shield makes you rely on it as a safety crutch, and I find myself even trying to block stuff instead of outright avoiding it with something like SnS just because the option is there. You can literally unbind your block button and be forced to play without it if necessary, but you need to drop the proverbial 'training wheels' and learn spacing + timing and build muscle memory against the different monsters with evasion as your priority instead of blocking. Honestly, the regular Lance is my least played weapon because I feel like the shield is pretty cumbersome and stops me from what I want to do (dodge roll, as a Soulsborne vet) naturally. I probably would struggle against most monsters with Lance, at least until I put in as much time with it as you have. Practice really is the only key. If possible, grab some gear with Evasion Window skill on your current save and just practice like crazy in lower stress places with nothing to think about except the fight (like arena, special arena, training grounds, or certain events/investigations in easier areas). I've also seen people start new playthroughs using only a weapon they're not comfortable with and slowly building their skill with it naturally instead of jumping straight into the boiler of High Rank/Master Rank. I would recommend something like Insect Glaive, Longsword (foresight slash might come naturally to you if you're good at lance counters), Dual Blades (super mobile and least punishing weapon if you whiff regular attacks) or go straight for a Hammer/GS and really commit to learning timing and space management. I'm nothing close to a MHW expert myself (seriously, search 'MHW ______ solo TA rules' with the blank space being filled in with any weapon, some people are absolutely fucking nuts at this game) but I do have some decent time spent in it and haven't hit a single serious wall that I couldn't get past by switching to my baby the Insect Glaive lol.
Also, if you're on PC I don't mind jumping into your hunts or letting you jump into mine. I'm really nothing close to a master but I think we can all learn something from other players, especially those with a significantly different playstyle than ourselves.
@@ScentSense Thanks very much for the advice, and for offering to play with me. I'm on PS5, but I appreciate the offer. I think next I'm going to try low-rank monsters with beginner armor, more or less like a new playthrough but without having to repeat some of the more annoying quests. I'll see how far I can get with basic dual blades, and only upgrade when I completely hit a wall. That might help me gradually focus more on position and evading instead of just tanking everything.
@@evilintheair7212 I am very skilled at the game and can use a variety of weapons to an advanced to speedrunner level of play. Trust me when I say that as important as learning a weapons moveset is. It is just as, if not more important to learn proper positioning and really learning the monsters movesets. I highly recommend investing in at least level 3 of evade window. Learning the timing of how to dodge attacks is ultra important and evade window just makes that so much easier. Evade window actually makes some attacks that aren't able to be dodged, able to be dodged. Whenever I see people that are struggling or are less skilled at the game, they all make the same mistakes. The main one is that they never seem to know when to attack, and how much they should attack. Ideally a skilled player will be landing hits on the monster after almost every attack that the monster does. The difference is that a more experienced player knows all of the monsters moves, and they know exactly how to punish those moves without getting too greedy and over commiting leading to them getting hit. The other big thing that newer and less skilled players do all the time is that they don't pay attention to the environment. Paying attention to your position relative to the monster is important, but you also need to pay attention to where you are fighting in the arena. A lot of areas in the game have either beneficial environmental traps that you can use to get more damage windows. Or some have detrimental environmental hazards that you want to avoid. Also USE THE FUCKING CLUTCH CLAW. You can wall bang monsters into walls and cause knockdowns and it is very powerful. Whenever I play online it is baffling to me how so few people use the clutch claw. I basically always have to be the guy that wall bangs because no one else will. Also when a monster reels back and staggers for a few moments that is called a clagger. If you use your clutch onto the monster during this animation that is a free tenderize. Clutching on also extends the duration that the monster stays immobile. Some weapons can abuse this and get big damage on monsters by clutching on them, then dropping off immediately. Then you can use the extended duration to hit the monster with a bigger punish. Sword and Shield has a particularly powerful punish as you can go straight into a perfect rush combo after dropping off and get the 1st part of the combo off before the monster can move again. But by far the best advice I can give for improving is to watch monster Speedruns with your weapon. Pay less attention to exactly what gear they use, and pay more attention to HOW they play. How they dodge, what moves they use and when. Which moves do they punish, and how do they punish. Pay attention to their positioning. Seriously, I was decent at the game. Then after I started watching Speedruns with my preferred weapons. I took notice of how they played, and just tried to adopt what they did into my gameplay. It turned me from being just ok, into an expert player. On my main weapons taking more than 6 minutes to kill a monster is a bad hunt for me now. I usually take 4 to 5 minutes to kill most master rank monsters in the game. For someone that isn't a speedrunner that's pretty good. Though actual Speedrunners kill stuff faster than that obviously. Depending on the weapon and monster kill times are between 1 to 3 minutes. Some monsters take longer but most monsters can be killed in 1 to 3 minutes by most weapons. At least for me this game gets so much more fun once you get good at it. This is one of those games where if you want to get better you actually have to do research.
@@chewbacachunks8644 Thank you so much. This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for, though I couldn't have told you that before I actually saw it. I need to come up with a good method for studying monsters. I've incorrectly disregarded speed runners because it seemed like they weren't even playing the same game. I realize how stupid that is now that I say it out loud. The high skill ceiling is exactly what I love about this game. It's just been a while since I've managed to get any closer to it.
the fact that I just started out, got myself pretty plowed by Anjanath, and you just recently posted this video, must be the coincidence of the 2024 so far lol Great video dude, a well deserved like and all the more so a well deserved sub :D
This video was so helpful to set the mindset of how to plan and play this game. Thanks for this video. I tried MHW 2 times before played for some time but wasn't really having fun and was about to quit for the 3rd time and go back to other games.
My first 3 hours I destroyed the 2 dragons (The red one and the grey one). In one of my runs they even tried to jump me, but I was able to evade one and attacked the other. It took me about 2-3 hours to hunt them both down because they kept flying away. It was so satisfying and it helped me better understand my weapons move set and the monsters openings.
I knew i would love to play it, bought it, tried it and quit it several times. Took me a few months to really get going with the game. Loved it ever since
Great info, juts grabbed this game on Steam. Been watching for a long time. On sale and a bargain for the gameplay this game has. Thanks for the guide, helped a ton. Subbed!
"Evasion extender" and mastering the invincibility frames is what helped me kill Fatalis regularly and drop "divine protection" from my build. Evasion extender brings the invincibility really close to what Dark Souls has for the rolls.
@@NekomiyaTH oh yeah it definitely does, I try to get at least level 1 Extender on every build I use.. It's a total game changer for Switch Axe, Dual Blades and even the ranged weapons but generally just super nice for all of them. Side note, I think people severely underestimate the power of QoL/comfort skills in general - less time spent dodging, running, healing, carting, waiting for stamina, buffing/rebuffing/restocking, etc means more time you can keep your DPS up. Most non-speedrunners would do significantly better with a few of them in place of the weaker damage skills like Attack Boost. Those small time saves really add up to a lot.
This was probably the most helpful guide that I've seen. I've tried to play MHW for a lot of times but always got overwhelmed and tried to play it like action-rpg not like, you know, hunting sim. But you really opened my eyes on the simple thought that it is a game about preparation and patience first of all. Thanks a lot! I will go kill Jagras guy today😂
My first monster hunter was actually tri ultimate on the Wii .. used switch axe and long sword back then.. never finished it tho. When I started world I went for longsword again and stopped using it when I hunted anjanath the first time.. 700 hours later I still use sword and shield xD and always coming back to it when trying a new weapon
@@kevo300 Makes something like evade window skill pretty nice. Don't use it often myself since I prioritize evade extender, but there's quite a difference. Also I think some roars' active time is longer so there's that.
15:41 "Great sword is for players who have been around the block." MHW is my first MH game, and, of course, I main great sword. 😅 Anjanath was, INDEED, a large difficulty spike.
This is a tip for new and old players Dont be afraid to try new weapons . If the quest is for something serious use what your used to but if not , try something new . I went from sns to great sword and now im big on the hammer and switch axe.
I hard mained HH for some reason and sucked for 100 hours until switching to insect glave. Loved it but still kinda booty. About 40 hours after that I picked up lance and I liked it AND was good with it. Never be afraid to tray somethong new!
True. This game series is like Napoleon Dynamite but for video games. I remember when that movie first came out almost everyone hated it until they watched it again. I personally played Tri, hated it (also doesn't help that I have severe Thalassophobia so fuck those water fights lol), played MH4U enjoyed it but only played until around the Gore Magala fight I think, and then switched to the SNS from GS in World and it absolutely clicked with me and now I've gone back through most of the older games. That's why whenever I get a friend to play it and they don't like it, I figure that they will on one of the next games. It's just something about how these games are structured or proposed to new players that's wholesale unappealing, but once it clicks those reasons become *WHY* you're so in love with the games. Also, hilarious that you're hunting Anjanath because I've been hunting that fucker 20+ times looking for his gem. Goddamn desire sensor this game has 😂
i'd say for me personally, the first wall monster was diablos, after that nothing at least in the base game (haven't beaten the dlc yet) has been something i would say is a wall, i did fight some arch tempered elder dragons which was fun for the difficulty and was kind of a wall when i didn't understand the difference between tempered and arch tempered initially, i thought the purple outline was just for the non elder dragons and the orange/red was for the elder dragons(idk why). this might also be something for me thats similar to what happened when i played bloodborne, i beat every boss with relative ease including orphan of kos (who i beat on the 10th try), but i struggle with blood starved beast for some odd reason despite being able to parry him relatively well(idk).
Radoban is considered a wall? But I had such a blast facing him with CB from day one. I even go out of my way to fight him because I found him so much fun. And I'm not a pro I picked the game this year and I don't even have Ice Borne
I bought World back in 2018 for the PS4, expecting a very different game, and immediately fell off. Fast forward to Rise, which I absolutely loved and played both on Switch and PC. Having understood the Monster Hunter formula, I'm giving World another try on PC and wow, is this game good. I can absolutely understand the love and dedication it gets from the community.
I wonder if they're going to do a Star Wars crossover with the monster Hunter series have the Mandalorian crossover into the monster world or if they have armor similar to Mandalorian I think the Mandalorian will be a great monster Hunter if you guys watch the show, I mean, that be awesome if you had armor just like his
Try using a lance with guard 5. I was able to comfortably beat nergigante with that If you want to play it safe keep the vitality palico equipment if not use that Molotov cocktail pumps out a ton of damage on him If not you want to be directly under him or slightly to the side when he goes for that dive bomb. Trust me I know the pain I struggled for days with him
i dived into every battle head first with a katana and when i get to THIS GUY mfo starts playing ping pong with me and it was the first time i fainted 3 times :D thx for the guide
I am very new to this game and I almost quit because of the things to do like should I go for food or is my weapon right, Why am I dealing 2 digit damage and after trying some weapons, I stick with hammer. I found that I like methodical weapons than quick slicey weapons like dual or sword and shield
I have around 100 hours of mhw and so long i have been brute forcing my way thru the game, im actually farming nergigantes with no faints wich i think is good Am i doing it well? Edit: im a charged blade user
Attack boost barely even raises your attack, the extra affinity is nice but +21 attack to the probably over 250 attack for a sns doesn’t do a whole lot
I didn't drop world because it didn't click with me. I dropped world because fight a monster at 10fps on minimum settings it painful (My PC can't run world lol)
Im looking to swap this game for dauntless, I like playing dauntless but the game has been dying, there's nothing new, game is repetitive, monster hunter just looks nice.
How to become a better hunter simple. DO NOT USE GUARDIAN SET. take your time learning the game and monster patterns. Don't abuse sos and by that i mean using s.o.s in every hunt because how else will you learn if you have people carrying you.
I like to start each hunt by going in with positive affirmations that I’ll do great this time only to watch in frustration as half my GS attacks miss by fractions of a second or go right through tails. Then I get knocked around by cheap BS and stunned to remind myself that no self esteem allowed. And while I do complete the hunt I find myself going straight to the blacksmith to look at all the different weapons I could be playing. Then I chicken out, fill my items back up and go back to Greatsword chaos with a promise that next time will be different. It’s a vicious cycle.
@@siduxjxhdgzhdjxhxuuxxyhgg1079 Hammer can't hit thousands in one hit, doesn't really fill the same playstyle. GS is such a unique, awesome weapon with very deep mechanics and an insanely high skill ceiling.
It's actually hilarious how this is true 😂 using the Great Sword in MH Rise made me an absolute animal in detecting openings for HUGE damage and knowing how Monsters use aggression. Im using Insect Glaive rn and the amount of free attacks and stylish aggro is really nice. I want to try something new soon tho
I put in roughly around 100 hours between launch and Icebourne release. It usually just sat in my steam library for alot of the time, however coming back and getting back into it since the release of all these mediocre games coming out recently has really been a sight for sore eyes and honestly, im kind of glad i put it down and just recently came back. Been enjoying the hell out of it recently
Thank you SO much for making all of these amazing videos! You make it look so easy when it really isn’t. You are so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you, Tera. You’re the best,
Honestly try different weapons per monster I play hammer on brute wyverns, lance against Fanged wyverns, great sword against flying wyverns, and other weapons against everything else it’s not always these weapons for these monsters types but typically these are my go to per monster type. brute wyverns typically get up faster from the downed state and have their heads low to the ground so I use hammer to stun and hit they’re head easily. Fanged wyverns are quick and stay on you so I use a lance to block fast attacks and then poke in between attacks with counters. Flying wyverns have a lot of dashes and mid air attacks and the great sword hits directly above you to the ground in a 90degree angle so typically I can hit them while they fly and stun them out of a charge attack with a shoulder bash or slinger scatter shot If you don’t succeed your first time try again try something new ❤
How to be a better hunter?... Stop chasing the monster out of the area before I can play you the song of my people with my hunting horn. Everything else is 💯 covered in the video
It is funny how those „wall“ monsters never were a problem for me. I started MHW in october and basically brute forced everything with lance. After that I switched to Sword & Shield, because of your videos. It is a nice all rounder with an emergency guard

I'd say the first step to becoming a better hunter is to realize that learning your weapon is only one small piece of the puzzle. So many people get focused on the mechanics of the weapons, they ignore everything else.
1) learn what your items do
2) learn what the status effects are
3) learn about the monster's weaknesses
4) learn about the monster's weak parts
5) learn about food buffs
6) learn about map interactions
7) learn about slinger ammo
8) learn about sleep multiplier
9) learn where palico helpers are
10) unlock gadgets
11) unlock mantles
12) expand botanical garden
13) craft charms
14) make armor sets
15) upgrade most used armor pieces
16) make item sets
17) customize radial menu and get used to it
This is basically all the stuff in the game that requires reading. The stuff people tend to ignore learning.

Great video! To echo your comment about playing carefully and not going for attacks when you don’t have an opening, it’s helpful to remember that trading a hit of yours on the monster for the monster getting a hit on you is not usually worth it. Unless your weapon has some way to counterattack (lance counter guards, longsword foresight slash or iai counter, and charge blade guard points all come to mind), you don’t usually gain much from getting hit, and the portion of the monster’s health that your one extra hit will take is usually tiny compared to the monster taking probably a third or more of your health and forcing you to spend time retreating and healing. In some rare cases, like if you’re low on time or the monster is weak and you’re using something where that one hit might end the hunt, trading hits can work out, but it’s not usually a good idea to let the monster hit you unless you’re either planning to counter it or are certain you’re at the very end of the hunt. Ultimately, staying in the fight is more important than always attacking, since even though you might lose some damage by not constantly attacking, you’d lose a lot more damage if you faint and have to run back to the monster.
On a similar note, just because a monster is limping doesn’t mean the hunt is over yet. For non-elder dragons that can be captured, that offers a way out, but for elder dragons or if you’re not capturing your target, the monster deals just as much damage to you with 1% health left as it would at full health. Especially if you’re low on remaining lives for the hunt, don’t get too greedy or you might regret it. As mentioned in the video, you usually have 50 minutes for a hunt, and that’s usually plenty of time to win even if you’re getting knocked around, so don’t feel like you have to rush it. Just stay calm and keep hitting the monster when you can, and if your weapon is at the stage it should be and you’re hitting it at least a little whenever you get an opening, the timer shouldn’t be much of an issue
I am on a fresh Insect Glaive playthrough, with over 140 hrs in Gunlance, and i cannot begin to tell other new Hunters how INVALUABLE this guide is. The game slowly teaches you these concepts but this is really the way the monsters are meant to be studied and not hacked at and traded with. Im enjoying my run so far and hopefully taking it all the way to Iceborne 🔥🔥🤝 great vid man thanks for the refresher too !
Me, possibly the furthest thing from a beginner to MHW watching this video purely because it involves MHW:
👁️👄👁️
Yeah, I have over 530 hours now and I’m still ass at the game even after soloing pretty much every monster I can think of besides fatalis
Xd @@Kenshin-lw2dj
So something to note is that you do not NEED elemental damage for MOST monsters in the game as a matter of fact there are plenty of situations where straight up raw damage (no element) is better so dont stress too much about the element unless you are using a weapon that specifically benefits from it. Basically as long as your weapons element isnt one that the monster is STRONG AGAINST you should be fine.
Alatreon is basically the only monster that you actually need elemental damage for or you can’t win.
The thing that helped the game click for me was when someone basically told me, “It’s called Monster HUNTER, not Monster Fighter.” That helped me realize that this was a game where you’re supposed to use everything at your disposal and have a plan going in. I was used to ARPGs with limited consumables that I had to hoard, but everything in MH is renewable so for once I don’t have to worry about it
I do agree that light weapons are less punishing, but for people who just wanna be forced to learn openings via trial by fire, Greatsword requires you to get a hang on what the monster does. Helps someone learn when to not overextend, as some weapons will let you attack even when it's not a clear opening. If you don't play greatsword, going back to your main after trying to get the flow on a monster you have trouble with using the GS can help you fast track getting a handle of it.
Longsword is simillar in that way. To really use 90% of your weapon, u either need insanely generous openings, or parrying comfortably.
Just started playing World a few weeks ago. There was absolutely too much thrown at you all at once, and I quickly started skipping all the "tutorials". I didn't find myself ever thinking, "man should have read that tutorial." Even now, I skip it all, and I'm not complaining yet. I have put almost 100 hours into the game just because I'm enjoying the grind. Reaching the end of the base game content and considering getting the Iceborne expansion soon.
Lol 100 hours? Most people here have thousands of hours. Some of those tutorials can be useless. However. A lot of those are not.
For someone who has almost 500 hours into MHW being my first monster hunter game. I still get really overwhelmed by this game. I reached Fatalis but the wall I have to overcome to defeat Fatalis seems incredibly high. I need to at least finish the first phase that way I can summon other people. I usually prefer playing solo but Fatalis is meant to be fought with other hunters so I don't really have that option. Fatalis hits like a truck and has very small openings. I play hammer so I don't think my weapon is good for that fight. I think if I could figure out a good build then I would feel more confident. People have been telling me to run maxed exploit weakness, max critical eye, max agitator, max critcal boost, master touch and max health boost. Problem is I get stunned a lot so I maxed out stun resistance. It is so hard to play without it. I don't know how people can play without it. I drink potions very slowly so I am debating upping speed eater, I also really like free meal so I don't have to worry about loosing heals. I also really like maxing out earplugs since monster roar so much, but all these things I like to play with make it so I get less crits, and do less damage. So, I really don't know what to do. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. It's stupid I know lol. Sorry this is so long. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Im probably overthinking all of this but it genuinely has been stressing me out. I have always struggled with making builds in literally every game I have played. I like being able to do everything. I don't like to have limitations to what skills I can use but that is unfortunately something I can't change. Anyways, I'll shut up now lol. If you read all of this thank you 😊
@@TheMarioBrotherz I play on Xbox :P
I think you can look into speedruns of your weapon and observe how they do the fight. Look into which moves can be exploited and after that there's really nothing you can do but get gud.
All the skills you just mentioned are in the Tigrex’s armor and, although it has not the best value when it comes to armor and elemental defences, it can still work. Personally I think you’re overthinking the problem because it is a monster made to be challenging so all you need to do is adapt to the fight, also more damage imo is better because you minimise the time you have to fight it and, if I were to make a build with an hammer I’d always go with 3 pieces of Frostfang Barrioth for Slugger 5 and 2 pieces of Raging Brachydios for Agitator 7. Anyway good luck and have fun :D
I have defeated Fatalis 3 times now with friends. I have most of his beta armor. I think I mostly found a build that works for me. I have been enjoying mushroomancer, which replaces speed eating. I have maxed out critical eye, exploit weakness, critcal boost, stun resistance, agitator, evade window, divine blessing, and health boost. I think that is all of the main ones. I have noticed I am finishing fights a lot faster. I'm not enjoying not having earplugs, though. I did use to have it maxed out. I did find it gave me more openings, but I'm trying to get used to dodging through roars
@zrevi5918 I have observed a few speedruns, and gotten gud. So now I feel better about fighting him :P
I just bought it on steam like 3 days ago never played any monster hunter games before
I’m hooked 😅
This video helped out a lot the game doesn’t explain much but that’s okay there’s always TH-camrs like you ✌️
This video shows exactly how monster hunter makes fun. Preparing, thinking, changing weapons etc
its a shame that the norm is:
start game - get dragged by another player - be overpowered against every enemy - get bored and stop playing
oh dang i just got the game for the first time and you just uploaded this lol
That was me too. Even now I still get my ass kicked by different monsters. Prepared, see the openings and still get sniped by something. But seeing your surroundings is important too. I may need traps and bombs for certain monsters and have a few good matchups when it comes to weapons I use.
Imho, the reason a lot of people bounce from MH is that the menus are objectively clunky and counter-intuitive. Fighting is a lot of fun (once you find a weapon that clicks with you), but the menu seems to actively work against you understanding what it is going on.
as a user of one of the heavy weapons, the hammer is the easiest weapon to use in that category, and i would definitely recommend it to green horns.
sure, it's reach is short, and you can't cut tails, but you have something the great sword wishes it had, movement while charging, very useful when you're still studying a monsters move set spotting the openings. and you can deal either several small hits or one big hit. and with the stun mechanic you can make your own opening. just remember to stop moving when you're charging for the big hit.
The hammer is one of the easiest and the most simple weapon in the game however it teachs you the core mechanics and position and focusing on weakspots. It's amazing and so fun to use.
Great video! As for future videos, something I've long been DESPERATE for is a "how to become better" video at the intermediate-to-high level. In particular, I have no idea how people at that level get by without a shield. I can solo just about anything in the game other than the multiplayer raids, but only with the lance. If I try to use something like hunting horn or switch axe, I'm hopeless against anything beyond an odogaron. Of course there are videos by the VERY good people who are able to manage every flinch and KO to such a degree that it hardly seems like the monster's even participating, but I'm not able to apply that at my level.
At something like 1500 hours in over the years I may just be as good as I'm ever going to get, but I still feel like I'm missing something.
I wouldn't say that's intermediate to high, but maybe low intermediate to true intermediate. I guess I'd say just try more weapons without shields - having a shield makes you rely on it as a safety crutch, and I find myself even trying to block stuff instead of outright avoiding it with something like SnS just because the option is there. You can literally unbind your block button and be forced to play without it if necessary, but you need to drop the proverbial 'training wheels' and learn spacing + timing and build muscle memory against the different monsters with evasion as your priority instead of blocking.
Honestly, the regular Lance is my least played weapon because I feel like the shield is pretty cumbersome and stops me from what I want to do (dodge roll, as a Soulsborne vet) naturally. I probably would struggle against most monsters with Lance, at least until I put in as much time with it as you have. Practice really is the only key.
If possible, grab some gear with Evasion Window skill on your current save and just practice like crazy in lower stress places with nothing to think about except the fight (like arena, special arena, training grounds, or certain events/investigations in easier areas). I've also seen people start new playthroughs using only a weapon they're not comfortable with and slowly building their skill with it naturally instead of jumping straight into the boiler of High Rank/Master Rank. I would recommend something like Insect Glaive, Longsword (foresight slash might come naturally to you if you're good at lance counters), Dual Blades (super mobile and least punishing weapon if you whiff regular attacks) or go straight for a Hammer/GS and really commit to learning timing and space management. I'm nothing close to a MHW expert myself (seriously, search 'MHW ______ solo TA rules' with the blank space being filled in with any weapon, some people are absolutely fucking nuts at this game) but I do have some decent time spent in it and haven't hit a single serious wall that I couldn't get past by switching to my baby the Insect Glaive lol.
Also, if you're on PC I don't mind jumping into your hunts or letting you jump into mine. I'm really nothing close to a master but I think we can all learn something from other players, especially those with a significantly different playstyle than ourselves.
@@ScentSense Thanks very much for the advice, and for offering to play with me. I'm on PS5, but I appreciate the offer.
I think next I'm going to try low-rank monsters with beginner armor, more or less like a new playthrough but without having to repeat some of the more annoying quests. I'll see how far I can get with basic dual blades, and only upgrade when I completely hit a wall. That might help me gradually focus more on position and evading instead of just tanking everything.
@@evilintheair7212 I am very skilled at the game and can use a variety of weapons to an advanced to speedrunner level of play. Trust me when I say that as important as learning a weapons moveset is. It is just as, if not more important to learn proper positioning and really learning the monsters movesets. I highly recommend investing in at least level 3 of evade window. Learning the timing of how to dodge attacks is ultra important and evade window just makes that so much easier. Evade window actually makes some attacks that aren't able to be dodged, able to be dodged.
Whenever I see people that are struggling or are less skilled at the game, they all make the same mistakes. The main one is that they never seem to know when to attack, and how much they should attack. Ideally a skilled player will be landing hits on the monster after almost every attack that the monster does. The difference is that a more experienced player knows all of the monsters moves, and they know exactly how to punish those moves without getting too greedy and over commiting leading to them getting hit.
The other big thing that newer and less skilled players do all the time is that they don't pay attention to the environment. Paying attention to your position relative to the monster is important, but you also need to pay attention to where you are fighting in the arena. A lot of areas in the game have either beneficial environmental traps that you can use to get more damage windows. Or some have detrimental environmental hazards that you want to avoid.
Also USE THE FUCKING CLUTCH CLAW. You can wall bang monsters into walls and cause knockdowns and it is very powerful. Whenever I play online it is baffling to me how so few people use the clutch claw. I basically always have to be the guy that wall bangs because no one else will. Also when a monster reels back and staggers for a few moments that is called a clagger. If you use your clutch onto the monster during this animation that is a free tenderize. Clutching on also extends the duration that the monster stays immobile. Some weapons can abuse this and get big damage on monsters by clutching on them, then dropping off immediately. Then you can use the extended duration to hit the monster with a bigger punish. Sword and Shield has a particularly powerful punish as you can go straight into a perfect rush combo after dropping off and get the 1st part of the combo off before the monster can move again.
But by far the best advice I can give for improving is to watch monster Speedruns with your weapon. Pay less attention to exactly what gear they use, and pay more attention to HOW they play. How they dodge, what moves they use and when. Which moves do they punish, and how do they punish. Pay attention to their positioning. Seriously, I was decent at the game. Then after I started watching Speedruns with my preferred weapons. I took notice of how they played, and just tried to adopt what they did into my gameplay. It turned me from being just ok, into an expert player. On my main weapons taking more than 6 minutes to kill a monster is a bad hunt for me now. I usually take 4 to 5 minutes to kill most master rank monsters in the game. For someone that isn't a speedrunner that's pretty good. Though actual Speedrunners kill stuff faster than that obviously. Depending on the weapon and monster kill times are between 1 to 3 minutes. Some monsters take longer but most monsters can be killed in 1 to 3 minutes by most weapons.
At least for me this game gets so much more fun once you get good at it. This is one of those games where if you want to get better you actually have to do research.
@@chewbacachunks8644 Thank you so much. This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for, though I couldn't have told you that before I actually saw it. I need to come up with a good method for studying monsters. I've incorrectly disregarded speed runners because it seemed like they weren't even playing the same game. I realize how stupid that is now that I say it out loud. The high skill ceiling is exactly what I love about this game. It's just been a while since I've managed to get any closer to it.
the fact that I just started out, got myself pretty plowed by Anjanath, and you just recently posted this video, must be the coincidence of the 2024 so far lol
Great video dude, a well deserved like and all the more so a well deserved sub :D
This video was so helpful to set the mindset of how to plan and play this game. Thanks for this video.
I tried MHW 2 times before played for some time but wasn't really having fun and was about to quit for the 3rd time and go back to other games.
I just got iceborne last night so this video will help me big time
What do u play on
My first 3 hours I destroyed the 2 dragons (The red one and the grey one). In one of my runs they even tried to jump me, but I was able to evade one and attacked the other. It took me about 2-3 hours to hunt them both down because they kept flying away. It was so satisfying and it helped me better understand my weapons move set and the monsters openings.
I knew i would love to play it, bought it, tried it and quit it several times. Took me a few months to really get going with the game. Loved it ever since
my biggest wall is dora and i did quit on my first playthrough but i have came back and still love the game
“You have to respect the monster, you can’t trade blows with it”
*laughs in great sword shoulder tackle*
Great info, juts grabbed this game on Steam. Been watching for a long time. On sale and a bargain for the gameplay this game has. Thanks for the guide, helped a ton. Subbed!
"Evasion extender" and mastering the invincibility frames is what helped me kill Fatalis regularly and drop "divine protection" from my build. Evasion extender brings the invincibility really close to what Dark Souls has for the rolls.
I think you mean Evasion Window? Evasion Extender doesn't give any more s, just makes the roll longer.
@ScentSense few extra feet away from secondary explosion help xD
@@NekomiyaTH oh yeah it definitely does, I try to get at least level 1 Extender on every build I use.. It's a total game changer for Switch Axe, Dual Blades and even the ranged weapons but generally just super nice for all of them.
Side note, I think people severely underestimate the power of QoL/comfort skills in general - less time spent dodging, running, healing, carting, waiting for stamina, buffing/rebuffing/restocking, etc means more time you can keep your DPS up. Most non-speedrunners would do significantly better with a few of them in place of the weaker damage skills like Attack Boost. Those small time saves really add up to a lot.
Ds2 reference. Have to level a stat/ put skills on to be able to have a good roll
Loadouts looking thick.
I usually only use a line and a half for my loadouts xD
This was probably the most helpful guide that I've seen. I've tried to play MHW for a lot of times but always got overwhelmed and tried to play it like action-rpg not like, you know, hunting sim. But you really opened my eyes on the simple thought that it is a game about preparation and patience first of all. Thanks a lot! I will go kill Jagras guy today😂
I didn't start using radial menu until halfway through Iceborne lmao
My first monster hunter was actually tri ultimate on the Wii .. used switch axe and long sword back then.. never finished it tho. When I started world I went for longsword again and stopped using it when I hunted anjanath the first time..
700 hours later I still use sword and shield xD and always coming back to it when trying a new weapon
your intro is perfection.
Hundreds of hours in my book, but seeing that you are able to block the roars is mind blowing! 😂
You can also roll through them but I find that very hard
@@kevo300 Makes something like evade window skill pretty nice. Don't use it often myself since I prioritize evade extender, but there's quite a difference.
Also I think some roars' active time is longer so there's that.
15:41 "Great sword is for players who have been around the block." MHW is my first MH game, and, of course, I main great sword. 😅 Anjanath was, INDEED, a large difficulty spike.
We be in the same boat then lol
Why is it when I hit that pink T. rex it just bounces off like I hit a wall over and over again am I doing something wrong???
Need to sharpen your weapon
😘
Honestly it’s funny that there’s an altereon loadout just there on its own, nope it’s not an elder nope it’s its own damn level
This is a tip for new and old players Dont be afraid to try new weapons .
If the quest is for something serious use what your used to but if not , try something new .
I went from sns to great sword and now im big on the hammer and switch axe.
I hard mained HH for some reason and sucked for 100 hours until switching to insect glave. Loved it but still kinda booty. About 40 hours after that I picked up lance and I liked it AND was good with it. Never be afraid to tray somethong new!
True. This game series is like Napoleon Dynamite but for video games. I remember when that movie first came out almost everyone hated it until they watched it again.
I personally played Tri, hated it (also doesn't help that I have severe Thalassophobia so fuck those water fights lol), played MH4U enjoyed it but only played until around the Gore Magala fight I think, and then switched to the SNS from GS in World and it absolutely clicked with me and now I've gone back through most of the older games. That's why whenever I get a friend to play it and they don't like it, I figure that they will on one of the next games. It's just something about how these games are structured or proposed to new players that's wholesale unappealing, but once it clicks those reasons become *WHY* you're so in love with the games.
Also, hilarious that you're hunting Anjanath because I've been hunting that fucker 20+ times looking for his gem. Goddamn desire sensor this game has 😂
Sorry if this is unrelated to MHW but the BGM on the intro part just made me want to play Mana Khemia again.
Me playing since MHFU still watching this video :D
i'd say for me personally, the first wall monster was diablos, after that nothing at least in the base game (haven't beaten the dlc yet) has been something i would say is a wall, i did fight some arch tempered elder dragons which was fun for the difficulty and was kind of a wall when i didn't understand the difference between tempered and arch tempered initially, i thought the purple outline was just for the non elder dragons and the orange/red was for the elder dragons(idk why). this might also be something for me thats similar to what happened when i played bloodborne, i beat every boss with relative ease including orphan of kos (who i beat on the 10th try), but i struggle with blood starved beast for some odd reason despite being able to parry him relatively well(idk).
btw a wall to me (in monster hunter) it is a hunt that takes me at least 10 attempts
Literally just play solo (no cats) and use chargeblade or greatsword and you will become better
Trying to play gunlance broke my soul i just cant
Radoban is considered a wall? But I had such a blast facing him with CB from day one. I even go out of my way to fight him because I found him so much fun. And I'm not a pro I picked the game this year and I don't even have Ice Borne
Welp... today I learned there is a monster guide lmao
I bought World back in 2018 for the PS4, expecting a very different game, and immediately fell off. Fast forward to Rise, which I absolutely loved and played both on Switch and PC.
Having understood the Monster Hunter formula, I'm giving World another try on PC and wow, is this game good. I can absolutely understand the love and dedication it gets from the community.
"Its all about keeping the distance". Me against Rajang: 😢
With this video I’m gonna become a veteran in mh
How can I get the fight sounds your Charakter is doing?
I wonder if they're going to do a Star Wars crossover with the monster Hunter series have the Mandalorian crossover into the monster world or if they have armor similar to Mandalorian I think the Mandalorian will be a great monster Hunter if you guys watch the show, I mean, that be awesome if you had armor just like his
hunter notes will only contain information based on the research level
I started years ago and by the time I stopped I'm already past 200 hrs lol
Starting again from scratch
HeyTeraRyza, I hate the Xbox controls any idea? For example, with shild and sword I have to press y and b at the same time for special attack.
i gave up on worlds and i wasnt overwhelmed by detail, i gave up because of nergigante and his ridiculous 1 hit kills
Try using a lance with guard 5.
I was able to comfortably beat nergigante with that
If you want to play it safe keep the vitality palico equipment if not use that Molotov cocktail pumps out a ton of damage on him
If not you want to be directly under him or slightly to the side when he goes for that dive bomb.
Trust me I know the pain I struggled for days with him
The biggest tip I’ve learned for MHW is to stay the heck away from Defender gear.
i dived into every battle head first with a katana and when i get to THIS GUY mfo starts playing ping pong with me and it was the first time i fainted 3 times :D
thx for the guide
Once you get in though. You’ll definitely want to go back to the older games.
I am very new to this game and I almost quit because of the things to do like should I go for food or is my weapon right, Why am I dealing 2 digit damage and after trying some weapons, I stick with hammer. I found that I like methodical weapons than quick slicey weapons like dual or sword and shield
for HBG, do I have to tenderize the monster every time before shooting it?
Hunting Horn #1
I have around 100 hours of mhw and so long i have been brute forcing my way thru the game, im actually farming nergigantes with no faints wich i think is good
Am i doing it well?
Edit: im a charged blade user
How to be a better team player. 1. Stop just maxing attack. Most likely, you are not a speed runner. 2. Slot in speed eating.
Attack boost barely even raises your attack, the extra affinity is nice but +21 attack to the probably over 250 attack for a sns doesn’t do a whole lot
I didn't drop world because it didn't click with me. I dropped world because fight a monster at 10fps on minimum settings it painful
(My PC can't run world lol)

Where is the monsters health bar?
There is no health bar for the monster.

CB heresy detected. Opinion rejected.
How to become a better hunter simple. DO NOT USE GUARDIAN SET. take your time learning the game and monster patterns. Don't abuse sos and by that i mean using s.o.s in every hunt because how else will you learn if you have people carrying you.
can i get my kids back with a mod? Amanda pls...
Defender gear ruined it imo
Load out? What that ? I juste take healing potion, sometime damage and defense boost and antidotes/berry's. That's all 😂😢
I like to start each hunt by going in with positive affirmations that I’ll do great this time only to watch in frustration as half my GS attacks miss by fractions of a second or go right through tails. Then I get knocked around by cheap BS and stunned to remind myself that no self esteem allowed. And while I do complete the hunt I find myself going straight to the blacksmith to look at all the different weapons I could be playing. Then I chicken out, fill my items back up and go back to Greatsword chaos with a promise that next time will be different. It’s a vicious cycle.
LOL all it takes is one nasty tcs dunk to get you back hooked on GS 😭

It's actually hilarious how this is true 😂 using the Great Sword in MH Rise made me an absolute animal in detecting openings for HUGE damage and knowing how Monsters use aggression.

@@saltking2133 told ya thats how i got gud
I put in roughly around 100 hours between launch and Icebourne release. It usually just sat in my steam library for alot of the time, however coming back and getting back into it since the release of all these mediocre games coming out recently has really been a sight for sore eyes and honestly, im kind of glad i put it down and just recently came back. Been enjoying the hell out of it recently
26:44 hmmm i must say... Tackle. Definitely tackle. My life would NOT exist if that wasn't a move for the Great Sword 😂
The thumbnail having BOTH of my main weapons is too funny
Thank you SO much for making all of these amazing videos! You make it look so easy when it really isn’t. You are so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you, Tera. You’re the best,
Once you reach end game, the palico judgement method is your go to for farming
Honestly try different weapons per monster I play hammer on brute wyverns, lance against Fanged wyverns, great sword against flying wyverns, and other weapons against everything else it’s not always these weapons for these monsters types but typically these are my go to per monster type.
brute wyverns typically get up faster from the downed state and have their heads low to the ground so I use hammer to stun and hit they’re head easily.
Fanged wyverns are quick and stay on you so I use a lance to block fast attacks and then poke in between attacks with counters.
Flying wyverns have a lot of dashes and mid air attacks and the great sword hits directly above you to the ground in a 90degree angle so typically I can hit them while they fly and stun them out of a charge attack with a shoulder bash or slinger scatter shot
If you don’t succeed your first time try again try something new ❤
How to be a better hunter?...
Stop chasing the monster out of the area before I can play you the song of my people with my hunting horn.
Everything else is 💯 covered in the video
I am really liking this channel, but I must say, an "invisible mantle mod" sounds like a terrible idea.
It is funny how those „wall“ monsters never were a problem for me. I started MHW in october and basically brute forced everything with lance. After that I switched to Sword & Shield, because of your videos. It is a nice all rounder with an emergency guard
Lance is just too goated lmao
