Fun Fact: Brachydios's slime is actually a symbiotic slime mold growing on the skin of the creature. By licking its arms, it causes a chemical reaction that primes the slime mold to explode. In fact, it is said that juvenile Brachydios have to avoid the slime puddles because it can kill itself if it stands too close.
"I've heard of monsters being in heat, but fucking THIS!?" The Black Diablos has a few words for you. Also, you CAN see how much damage the dragon ship takes, it's in the quest info next to "Ship integrity" going from Normal > Low > Warning > Danger! (then you fail after it takes 2/3 hits in "Danger!")
Combat isn't up to zelda standards? What?! I may not be an expert at zelda games but I would think *EDIT* I AM CERTAIN WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT (I'm pushing 1000 hours total play time across various monster hunter games now, trust me) *END EDIT* that monster hunter's combat is far deeper, due to the small fact the entire game revolves around it! Nevertheless I do like zelda games...just a shame I'm not very good at them. Also, glad to know I'm not the only one who called it the sabertooth snow dragon :D
6:45 The Zinogre isn't a Super Saiyan... But the Rajang... That thing LITERALLY turns Super Saiyan! I'm serious, golden fur, electric aura, increased power... Heck it even uses the Spirit Bomb sometimes! But what if it's a Golden Great Ape? Maybe if you cut it's tail off it'll turn into a Saiyan again...
***** Actually, Brachydios is Monster hunter 3 Ultimate's flagship monster The reason it doesn't appear on the US/PAL cover is due to localization issues.
It's mandatory to try to use the Dragonator in every single quest it's available. Except against the Dire Miralis... Because I use a Lance against him, so I get a much higher damage output by simply poking it non-stop. Besides, I could simply go for the loophole of saying that I AM THE DRAGONATOR!
I like that "monsters being in a heat" was brought up during a segment about wyverns. "Wyvern in a heat" Any Awakening fans out there die when they heard that line?
That was a awesome list, great job sir. To me my favorite monster from 3 ultimate is the Zinogre for, well the reasons you cite, being a badass lightning dragon wolf. And on the elder dragon side, well I'll chose the Alatreon for his incredible fight and really cool appearance. And yes, I can't wait for monster hunter 4 ultimate.
As of right now, I am so glad to be subscribed to you because monster hunter 3 ultimate is one my most favorite games and Lagiacrus is still my favorite monster, right after the Jhen Mohran. Once again as one of your many loyal fans, I deeply thank you.
The satisfaction that comes with taking down the Elder Dragons for the first time is indescribable. I don't hate underwater battles and am sorry to see them gone for the next game. I think my favorite monster to take down on my own is Deviljho. I'm a Hunting Horn user, so I cheat a little by giving myself the Tremor Resistance buff with the Aria Magica Horn. Makes it even more satisfying taking it down with a "magical girl staff." XP My favorite, favorite, favorite to take down while playing online with a good team is Hallowed Jhen Mohran. The armor set from that is my badge of honor. :P Monster Hunter rocks my socks!
I can agree with you. When I and a team of nobodies at the time beat the Hallowed Jhen Mohran, it was a truly liberating moment once it finally ceased to move.
You should get yourself Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for PSP! :) I think it's one of the best entries in the entire series (I started with Monster Hunter Freedom - 1st Generation - yay xD)
Poke-Monster Hunter go Lucent Nargacuga use camouflage. evasiveness rose insanely. hunters are confused their attacks miss. use poison tail whip it's super effective quad KO victory Lucent Narg.
Nice to finally see a countdown about Monster Hunter. Been a while since I picked up MH3U but you bet your ass I'm gonna get MH4U. My favorite monster in this game is the Dire Miralis btw.
10: I dread to think of what their child would be like 9: God how many quests has that thing ruined 8: DO NOT WATCH THAT MOVIE YOU WILL WANT TO RIP THAT BROWN HAIRED LADY IN HALF FROM HER TEETH 7: I can think of another awesome wolf but you probably wouldn't care for it 6: Gotta love a good old fashion kick me sign though usually its in the head or the eye 5: FIre, Ice, and Thunder blight huh how original. Sounds kinda like Golbez from FF4 4: normally slime is treated as weak this series changes EVERYTHING. now i'm scared of slime enemies 3: there's something to scare people away from the game. no not the monster the idea of water physics 2: Where do you get the time to mine for minerals and just HOW DO YOU SLOW THAT THING DOWN 1: Logan attempted that early on. No wonder it was number 2 on his halloween bit list For the record i haven't played this game and i think i should probably give it a try
Hey, Adam. Glad to see you came through with this, and I can understand your choice of placement. Shame I never see you when I dare to visit the online ports. And ever since I started recording for Fifth Eye Unplugged, I've had no time to visit the port. How ironic - I stopped hunting when I started having serious trouble with soloing monsters at G rank, but doing the Moga Massacre series got me to take up the sword and shield again. While I saw your "How to Create a Countdown" video, I decided to forego that advice for now and refine my personality online. The logic being that if I cannot put a legitimate soul into my work, then the product of even the finest technology is doomed to be second-rate. Best of luck with your future endeavors.
HEY CHA-CHA IS USEFUL For occasional healing and and being a distraction for monsters while you heal or sharpen or whatever So basically he's Donald from Kingdom Hearts
I remember the "guts mission in tri" it was the most thrilling and terrifying moment in my gaming history. I collected all the guts and I remember looking at my friend sitting in the fair next to me giving me a nod. I remember I chugged a whole can of ultra blue monster sharpened my great sword and dove into the water. I t took me nearly the entire quest time of a frantically sharpening my weapon, drinking all my mega/ regular potions, and eating so many adamant and might seeds that my character probably had to see a dentist to finally kill the flagship boss with my mood gear... Then I was so mad that as I carved I had only gotten duplicates of lagiacrus scale.
10: Ah, the perfect attendance pair. Nice ones to fight. ...Well, Rathian maybe... Rathalos kind of annoys the crap out of me with how much I've had to chase it and get knocked into other areas by it and the occasional Remobras in 4U. 9: ...Nope! Nope nope! Nopity-nope... Not dealin' with the damn pickle yet. I'll deal with Deviljho eventually for that sweet-ass armor in Generations when I get it, but until then I'll have to settle for running away from it like a scared little Jaggi. 8: Nice to know the Barioth's coming back in the new Generations game that was announced. There's a demo for him and everything XD 7: Been facing Zinogre in 4U; my favorite monster so far. Aside from trying to get that MOTHERFUCKING PLATE..... 6: You've heard of fighting a mountain... how about a volcano relative of the Fatalis species? Yeah, that alone should attest to how powerful Dire Miralis is. 5: Oh bloody hell, Alatreon does not look fun. And I know he's in Generations, too... 4: Hey Joshscorcher, we found you a new pet! Just picture it; his and Brachydios's kabooms as far as the eye can see... 3: Ooh yeah, I knew that thing would be on here. And that goddamn beard... Step aside Chuck Norris; we've got a beard here that'll tear the ground out from under your feet! 2: Equal parts majestic and badass. Imagine my reaction when his spiny cousin Dah'ren Mohren is the FIRST monster one winds up battling in 4U. 1: I've never been a fan of water battles, but holy hell does the Lagiacrus look awesome. Just gotta be wary of those FUCKING HIP-CHECKS and maybe I'd do okay against it if I ever got 3U as well. He's in Generations too but only on land so his fearsome sea title doesn't mean as much there, sadly.
Barbara Hart Cha Cha is THA MAN!!! I bring Cha Cha and Kayamba with me on quests, at the moment with the cat mask that allows you to get rare items from him, and the ancient mask that makes Kayamba a BADASS! They also are both equipped with Slime, as am I, and they often get critical hits that break parts and stun whatever creature I’m hunting, while I heal and sharpen up in between the fight sequences. This is especially useful against a hard combo like Ratholos with a Deviljho thrown in, during which 50 minutes is a TIGHT schedule to finish off both! I use traps and the ability to know when they’re ready to be trapped, which ends the fight early, and STILL, it helps to have two level 50 chum chum maxed helpers to kick ass along with me! LOVE Cha Cha! He’s THA MAN!!! Currently, the Melynx mask (I think) is a level 5, so I can get TONS of rare items (wouldn’t use any other mask now that it’s leveled up!) and I also equipped Fast Recovery along with the Slime Power, so he comes back quickly after getting killed... OFTEN with this mask. And the Ancient Mask is a level 3 so far (I switch this one up for bunny ears on village hunts, and I’m trying to level up other alternatives, so it’s only level 3 as of the other day), so he just gets Slime Power. Perhaps the most useful BY FAR part of having two companions is that the monster isn’t always targeting YOU! Try doing a solo quest without your tater tot companions, and see how much you get WRECKED! Especially by monsters like the Deviljho and the Ivory Legiacrus! Without an alternative NPC to target, you will get WRECKED! Or you’ll waste time running in circles to avoid taking gratuitous damage! I have NEVER played online (by the time I bought the game, the server was down), so I’m used to playing solo.... only solo.... and those little buddies of mine are getting more BADASS by the day! I’m pretty sure they’re fully leveled up at level 50, maybe I’m wrong, maybe it takes about 100 missions to get from level 50 to level 51, but once their valor, HP, stamina, and defense are leveled up, they’re relatively TOUGH little shits! They’re ESSENTIAL for a late bloomer trying to beat the game alone. GAWD, I WISH I had the ability to go back in time and do multiplayer missions! I’ve never fought the “Dire Moralis”, as I believe it’s called, the Alatreon was hard enough! He seems like a WAAAY harder version of the Alatreon! I couldn’t do multiplayer quests though! (Someone PLEEEAAASE get Capcom’s permission to host an official MH3U online mode again! That’d be a MONEYMAKER! I know MAAAAD people still play, judging by the wealth of content plus the consensus among MANY players that this is the best iteration ever made!) BTW, I’d LOVE to play the new PS4 version JUST for the fact that the graphics are SIIIIICK! As of right now I play my WiiU the most because there are SOOO MANY GREAT TITLES on this platform! However, I have been told by player videos that MH3U is STILL the best, gameplay-wise, and there are HOURS of quests to do JUST to get to G-Rank, nevermind how IMPOSSIBLY CRAZY the game gets once you get there! (I haven’t gotten there YET, I have HR 5 as of yesterday, but I hope to get there soon, but I will hold off until I have enough resources because it seems that G-Rank is CRAZY HARD! If I was G-Rank at the moment, I’d probably die within five seconds... I NEED better weapons and armor first!
That was a great list, i never played Monster Hunter but i'm sure that this game looks awesome so many dragons and Lacriacus (sorry for spelling wrong) looks amazing and badass for sure
You can actually see how much damage the ship takes, open the menu and go into quest info, and it's tell you what state the ship is in, the health goes from normal -> low -> warning -> danger, before being destroyed
Oh Monster Hunter. I seriously need to start playing this game again. I've been too into fighting games, and too busy with school lately. School is the bigger problem, since this is the type of game that makes a couple hours feel like 5 minutes. And a there's a bit of lack of want to play it, but this list really makes me wanna start playing again. Anyway, this was a very enjoyable list! I personally would have had the Jhen at number 1, but I'm just happy it was as high as it was. I'd go out of my way to fight that thing as often as I could in tri. And I'm glad I wasn't the only one who said the Zinogre went super saiyan when it powered up.
Lagiacrus Gore Magala Seregios Amatsu Alatreon Nargacuga Agnaktor Nibblesnarf With all these monsters coming back, it's safe t say that MHX has the best roster of any Monster Hunter game. I take it you're hyped?
+SketchBookShortFilms Speaking of witch, is it confirmed that MHX is coming to the West? I mean, it looks sooooooo good!!! With all the hunter arts, new monsters, mooooooaaaaaarrrrrr everything, I'm just F*CKING EXCITED!!!!
I've been a loyal fan and subscriber to Quarterguy for 7-8 years and even after all this time I still like when he covers monster hunter. Hey QG how about a remake of monsters you like and hate to fight? Preferably with Itboben, you both share some vitural hunting scars.
Also, thought I'd point something out. Brachydios would be in my top 5 favorite monsters, maybe even the #1 spot, if not for how cheap his rage mode can be in 3U.
You just have to be cautiously aggressive. Try to run and you get destroyed. Try to wail on it and you get destroyed. Play smart and confident, it’s pretty fun
The Friend of Many Squirrels I agree. Once you get used to his rage mode move set and don’t get cocky, he’s doable. I will say I enjoy is calm mode over rage mode though.
Good list. out Curiosity if you did included subspecies how much different would this list be?One found odd about 4 ultimate is no Lunastra when they have the male Counter part Teostra.
QG, I plan on maybe buying the Wii U version of Monster Hunter Tri. I originally sold the 3DS version because there was no online and I continuously got more frustrated with bringing down even ONE of the beasts. Any advice to beginners and best armor/weapons for beginners as well?
I'd recommend using Barroth for Low Rank. As for weapons, just use whatever you're comfortable with. (Although I'd recommend using a Hammer if you plan on getting said armor)
I forgot the name already, but doesn't that elder dragon that was causing the earthquakes look kinda like Phalanx (don't blame me if I spelt it wrong) from Shadow of the Colossus?
If there was a Pokemon Monster Hunter, I would buy the shit out of it. Can you imagine all the possibilities?! Hunting legendaries without the help of your little friends, just your weapons and armor. That would be awesome!
+Timmy Reobed I'm excited and if the Abyssal Lagiacrus aka Queen Abyss makes her return since she is my opinion the strongest out of the three species I'm definitely going to be happy. Taking on the queen of the deep is definitely one of the most thrilling and epic things to do in MH3U.
6 years and 5, technically 3, games of monster hunter experience, (3-Tri, 3U, Generations, Generations Ultimate, and World) still have no idea how to build, send help... Right now Charge Blade is what and I know to use Artillery, Capacity Boost, Razor Sharp, Guard and Guard Up (to use shield to its best), and some others that I can’t name off the top of my head. Any other skills that are useful in Generations Ultimate? Also I like to use impact phials and blast weapons even though most late game Elder Dragons aren’t affected by it. Other skills that still are good could be that one where it take less hits to charge phials and another one where yellow charge fills 5 phials while red fills 10.
I first saw this list before getting into MH, but now... Thank you Quarter Guy for subjecting me to 150+ hours of kickass-ness (If that's even a word.) My favorite monster is Ceadeus with Zinogre and Agnaktor tied at a close second.
I just completed the monster guts mission last night and I was shaking by the end of it when i got all of the guts I was swimming towards the shore he was right beside me so I thought I could move slowly to not draw his attention I kept saying you don't see me then when I saw the exclamation mark above his head I then screamed fuck you you don't see me over and over I had no idea he was going to crash my party but it felt awesome completing it I can't wait to actually fight him
I played the PSP Monster Hunter a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, but I remember giving up on it because it got too difficult for me. I've considered trying MH3U for 3DS, but it upsets me greatly that only the Wii U version has online, and with MH4U just around the corner, I figured I can just wait for that to come out.
The psp versions of moster hunter have an insane level of difficulty epicially the unite series i took me for about 1000 hours of playing in order to get better equipment,farm all items,fight all A to G mission (yeah g missions are the worst) I will now wait for the latest monster hunter
sean william I hear MH4 is actually harder than Freedom Unite, though for the RIGHT reasons and not programming errors. Not that I'd know personally. I haven't played the PSP Monster Hunter games.
yep iv been following all the info about monster hunter 4 since the day its been announced in japan and yes the difficulty of unite will return in MH4 as well only this time it will be much more difficult that that
Hey, Quarterguy, the 4 of the top ten monsters you mention (zinogre, deviljho, barioth, and brachydios) are in the frontier series, and better than ever.
Fun Fact: Brachydios's slime is actually a symbiotic slime mold growing on the skin of the creature. By licking its arms, it causes a chemical reaction that primes the slime mold to explode. In fact, it is said that juvenile Brachydios have to avoid the slime puddles because it can kill itself if it stands too close.
Science ( taping my forehead *
And its now in world
I thought that the green goo was its spit.
"I've heard of monsters being in heat, but fucking THIS!?"
The Black Diablos has a few words for you.
Also, you CAN see how much damage the dragon ship takes, it's in the quest info next to "Ship integrity" going from Normal > Low > Warning > Danger! (then you fail after it takes 2/3 hits in "Danger!")
Combat isn't up to zelda standards? What?! I may not be an expert at zelda games but I would think *EDIT* I AM CERTAIN WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT (I'm pushing 1000 hours total play time across various monster hunter games now, trust me) *END EDIT* that monster hunter's combat is far deeper, due to the small fact the entire game revolves around it! Nevertheless I do like zelda games...just a shame I'm not very good at them. Also, glad to know I'm not the only one who called it the sabertooth snow dragon :D
By "not up to Zelda standards," I meant that it didn't feel quite as fluid.
Oh right. I can agree with that :D
The quarter guy, the combat engine is much more fluid than the zelda combat enging i know i am a huge fan of both thes titles
The ending x"DDD perfect! That was perfect! ;D
6:45 The Zinogre isn't a Super Saiyan... But the Rajang...
That thing LITERALLY turns Super Saiyan! I'm serious, golden fur, electric aura, increased power... Heck it even uses the Spirit Bomb sometimes!
But what if it's a Golden Great Ape? Maybe if you cut it's tail off it'll turn into a Saiyan again...
the rajang was awsome,i loved and hated the battles with one or more of them in freedom,he is the true invader monster,get out of here deviljoh
The OJHgamer yeah he sould have put in rajang
Pedro Da Costa Rajang isn't in MH3U -.-
The OJHgamer and on higher quests he turns super saiyan 3
celestia shinryu He also has the SSG form in one of his subspecies. But that was before SSG... egh
I like the new transition, how you put the specific thing in the background. It's pretty cool.
***** Actually, Brachydios is Monster hunter 3 Ultimate's flagship monster The reason it doesn't appear on the
US/PAL cover is due to localization issues.
It's mandatory to try to use the Dragonator in every single quest it's available.
Except against the Dire Miralis... Because I use a Lance against him, so I get a much higher damage output by simply poking it non-stop. Besides, I could simply go for the loophole of saying that I AM THE DRAGONATOR!
Now this one killer list you made. I love monster hunter. Thank you QG.
I like that "monsters being in a heat" was brought up during a segment about wyverns.
"Wyvern in a heat"
Any Awakening fans out there die when they heard that line?
i cut of the lagiacrus's horns spikes tail and left a scar on its chest. so satisfying
You can see how much damage the ship is taking. Look at the quest info I believe.
I love these monsters too. Also, I love the barioth theme. And absolutely LOVE Ceadaus theme. So much.
well to be fair you can actually see the dragon ships status by pressing select and looking at the quest info
That was a awesome list, great job sir.
To me my favorite monster from 3 ultimate is the Zinogre for, well the reasons you cite, being a badass lightning dragon wolf.
And on the elder dragon side, well I'll chose the Alatreon for his incredible fight and really cool appearance.
And yes, I can't wait for monster hunter 4 ultimate.
What was that he held up at the end? I'm guessing circle pad pro?
As of right now, I am so glad to be subscribed to you because monster hunter 3 ultimate is one my most favorite games and Lagiacrus is still my favorite monster, right after the Jhen Mohran. Once again as one of your many loyal fans, I deeply thank you.
The satisfaction that comes with taking down the Elder Dragons for the first time is indescribable. I don't hate underwater battles and am sorry to see them gone for the next game. I think my favorite monster to take down on my own is Deviljho. I'm a Hunting Horn user, so I cheat a little by giving myself the Tremor Resistance buff with the Aria Magica Horn. Makes it even more satisfying taking it down with a "magical girl staff." XP My favorite, favorite, favorite to take down while playing online with a good team is Hallowed Jhen Mohran. The armor set from that is my badge of honor. :P Monster Hunter rocks my socks!
Best.Franchise.Ever. 'Nuff Said.
I can agree with you. When I and a team of nobodies at the time beat the Hallowed Jhen Mohran, it was a truly liberating moment once it finally ceased to move.
You're my favorite countdown maker qg! BD
>Couldn't get into Shadow of the Colossus
>Missing underwater combat in MH
u wot m8?
Totally agree with your list. Each of those monsters have been great and were fun to fight!
You should get yourself Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for PSP! :)
I think it's one of the best entries in the entire series (I started with Monster Hunter Freedom - 1st Generation - yay xD)
Gotta slay 'em all - Monster Hunter!
Poke-Monster Hunter go Lucent Nargacuga use camouflage. evasiveness rose insanely. hunters are confused their attacks miss. use poison tail whip it's super effective quad KO victory Lucent Narg.
Elder Dragons might as well be legendaries xD
Anyone have a strategy against the lucent Nargacuga, I haven't faced it yet, though I'm worried cause I've seen that thing in action a little
Noah Hartman strategy: don’t fight it
"You're in for a fierce battle." Translation: "Prepare for a very hardcore ass kicking"
For the Jhen Mohran fight, you can check your ship's integrity in the Quest page in the menu.
And as for the question at the end, nope.
Nice to finally see a countdown about Monster Hunter. Been a while since I picked up MH3U but you bet your ass I'm gonna get MH4U.
My favorite monster in this game is the Dire Miralis btw.
Zinogre in Monster Hunter 3rd is called Jinouga😀
10: I dread to think of what their child would be like
9: God how many quests has that thing ruined
8: DO NOT WATCH THAT MOVIE YOU WILL WANT TO RIP THAT BROWN HAIRED LADY IN HALF FROM HER TEETH
7: I can think of another awesome wolf but you probably wouldn't care for it
6: Gotta love a good old fashion kick me sign though usually its in the head or the eye
5: FIre, Ice, and Thunder blight huh how original. Sounds kinda like Golbez from FF4
4: normally slime is treated as weak this series changes EVERYTHING. now i'm scared of slime enemies
3: there's something to scare people away from the game. no not the monster the idea of water physics
2: Where do you get the time to mine for minerals and just HOW DO YOU SLOW THAT THING DOWN
1: Logan attempted that early on. No wonder it was number 2 on his halloween bit list
For the record i haven't played this game and i think i should probably give it a try
Yo QG, I got Monster Hunter 4 it's awesome
Hey, Adam. Glad to see you came through with this, and I can understand your choice of placement. Shame I never see you when I dare to visit the online ports.

The voice used for the godzilla joke is my notification alarm for my phone XD
um you can see the ship's health with picking the quest info
Now That Was A Damn Good Countdown.
HEY CHA-CHA IS USEFUL
For occasional healing and and being a distraction for monsters while you heal or sharpen or whatever
So basically he's Donald from Kingdom Hearts
Hmm, looks like I have yet another series I would like to check out. You've done it again, Adam.
I remember the "guts mission in tri" it was the most thrilling and terrifying moment in my gaming history. I collected all the guts and I remember looking at my friend sitting in the fair next to me giving me a nod.

Dude, you need to try out the older games. They're not as refined in the hitbox department but they'll make you a better hunter.
Yay, Entermate Silver Claw! I'm not the only one that likes those cards XD.
HIPPO! ♥♥♥
***** TIs truely hilarious to beat the tar out of someone with a performopal deck.
Yes! Glad that was mentioned. Favorite Entermate is Gold Fang!
10: Ah, the perfect attendance pair. Nice ones to fight. ...Well, Rathian maybe... Rathalos kind of annoys the crap out of me with how much I've had to chase it and get knocked into other areas by it and the occasional Remobras in 4U.
9: ...Nope! Nope nope! Nopity-nope... Not dealin' with the damn pickle yet. I'll deal with Deviljho eventually for that sweet-ass armor in Generations when I get it, but until then I'll have to settle for running away from it like a scared little Jaggi.
8: Nice to know the Barioth's coming back in the new Generations game that was announced. There's a demo for him and everything XD
7: Been facing Zinogre in 4U; my favorite monster so far. Aside from trying to get that MOTHERFUCKING PLATE.....
6: You've heard of fighting a mountain... how about a volcano relative of the Fatalis species? Yeah, that alone should attest to how powerful Dire Miralis is.

3: Ooh yeah, I knew that thing would be on here. And that goddamn beard... Step aside Chuck Norris; we've got a beard here that'll tear the ground out from under your feet!

I didn't order a ham. I order my turkey shaken, not stirred.
Nice countdown as always. I'm not much of an MH fan, but with MH4 coming out soon I may just jump on board. Circle Pad Pro FTW!
I feel that the only monster that deserves the title of super saiyan is the dreaded Rajang
Furius rajang is a toughie
@7:03 You can use an emulator, so no excuses. There is an English patch out there, so no need to not playing it.
but ChaCha is always useful... as cannon fodder... but still.
Barbara Hart ChaCha was like a son to me

I know MAAAAD people still play, judging by the wealth of content plus the consensus among MANY players that this is the best iteration ever made!) BTW, I’d LOVE to play the new PS4 version JUST for the fact that the graphics are SIIIIICK! As of right now I play my WiiU the most because there are SOOO MANY GREAT TITLES on this platform! However, I have been told by player videos that MH3U is STILL the best, gameplay-wise, and there are HOURS of quests to do JUST to get to G-Rank, nevermind how IMPOSSIBLY CRAZY the game gets once you get there! (I haven’t gotten there YET, I have HR 5 as of yesterday, but I hope to get there soon, but I will hold off until I have enough resources because it seems that G-Rank is CRAZY HARD! If I was G-Rank at the moment, I’d probably die within five seconds... I NEED better weapons and armor first!
you can see the dragonship's damage
I think you haven't heard of the tigrex
My favourite monster is tied between of zinougre, deviljho or the rathalos.
So you think we'll see some Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Countdowns in the future?
Who's that wolf at our right side in 7:08 ?
SuperFanFiction Valkenhayn R. Hellsing from BlazBlue in his werewolf form.
+The Quarter Guy hey QG, are you planning on making a sequel video for 4 Ultimate or X ( if it ever gets localized).
Laambo: WHAT IS THIS?! There are monsters stronger than I, THE MIGHTY LAAMBO?! SHENANIGAAAAAAAAANNNS!!!
You can return to base camp for the Dire Miralis
The fact qourter guy has never seen the base camp impress me for some reason lol
Still one of my favorite countdowns of yours.
That was a great list, i never played Monster Hunter but i'm sure that this game looks awesome so many dragons and Lacriacus (sorry for spelling wrong) looks amazing and badass for sure
Great video champ!
This countdown has peeked my interest in the series. I might even buy 4 Ultimate when it comes out.
You can actually see how much damage the ship takes, open the menu and go into quest info, and it's tell you what state the ship is in, the health goes from normal -> low -> warning -> danger, before being destroyed
Oh Monster Hunter. I seriously need to start playing this game again. I've been too into fighting games, and too busy with school lately. School is the bigger problem, since this is the type of game that makes a couple hours feel like 5 minutes. And a there's a bit of lack of want to play it, but this list really makes me wanna start playing again. Anyway, this was a very enjoyable list! I personally would have had the Jhen at number 1, but I'm just happy it was as high as it was. I'd go out of my way to fight that thing as often as I could in tri. And I'm glad I wasn't the only one who said the Zinogre went super saiyan when it powered up.
Lagiacrus
Gore Magala
Seregios
Amatsu
Alatreon
Nargacuga
Agnaktor
Nibblesnarf
With all these monsters coming back, it's safe t say that MHX has the best roster of any Monster Hunter game. I take it you're hyped?
MH4U is the only game I have, I'm so fucking hyped for Lagia, Alatreon, Narga, and Agnaktor.
+SketchBookShortFilms Speaking of witch, is it confirmed that MHX is coming to the West? I mean, it looks sooooooo good!!! With all the hunter arts, new monsters, mooooooaaaaaarrrrrr everything, I'm just F*CKING EXCITED!!!!
Michael the AWESOME Not yet, but hopefully soon.
#MHXForTheWest
Bit weird Athens Magalas are returning, as Frenzy isn't coming with them, I believe. And the Lagiacrus returning? Does that mean water combat is too?
Dafuq IPad?! Athens instead of THE?!?
I've been a loyal fan and subscriber to Quarterguy for 7-8 years and even after all this time I still like when he covers monster hunter. Hey QG how about a remake of monsters you like and hate to fight? Preferably with Itboben, you both share some vitural hunting scars.
one more thing they have a youtobe video about some of the new monsters in MHU4 so go check that out.
having zigoger armor is op
Lagiacrus is a great rival? Do you even Tigrex bro?
Coming back to this... I wonder if he's picked up Generations. Lagiacrus is back, and hard as balls.
6:07- Oh, so NOW you're making a Frozen reference? where was that on the top ten cryokinetics' list?
Also, thought I'd point something out.
Brachydios would be in my top 5 favorite monsters, maybe even the #1 spot, if not for how cheap his rage mode can be in 3U.
You just have to be cautiously aggressive. Try to run and you get destroyed. Try to wail on it and you get destroyed. Play smart and confident, it’s pretty fun
The Friend of Many Squirrels I agree. Once you get used to his rage mode move set and don’t get cocky, he’s doable. I will say I enjoy is calm mode over rage mode though.
Water dragons always get the best beards, it's unfair......
that run its godzilla bit was fucking funny as hell
Good list. out Curiosity if you did included subspecies how much different would this list be?One found odd about 4 ultimate is no Lunastra when they have the male Counter part Teostra.
"Did someone order a LARGE HAM FOR THANKSGIVING?"
No but I did order a big turkey.
9:50
That reminds me of the short story "The Foghorn".
That giant reptile and the lighthouse seem extremely similar to the story.
Jurassic Reptile Well expect in this story that lizard is a dragon that is a god and could end the world
Is your Alatreon sword with or over you time reaper masks for that?
QG, I plan on maybe buying the Wii U version of Monster Hunter Tri. I originally sold the 3DS version because there was no online and I continuously got more frustrated with bringing down even ONE of the beasts. Any advice to beginners and best armor/weapons for beginners as well?
I'd recommend using Barroth for Low Rank. As for weapons, just use whatever you're comfortable with. (Although I'd recommend using a Hammer if you plan on getting said armor)
I forgot the name already, but doesn't that elder dragon that was causing the earthquakes look kinda like Phalanx (don't blame me if I spelt it wrong) from Shadow of the Colossus?
If there was a Pokemon Monster Hunter, I would buy the shit out of it. Can you imagine all the possibilities?! Hunting legendaries without the help of your little friends, just your weapons and armor. That would be awesome!
dimentiorules Yeah. Maybe a Manetric Long Sword.
Say @Quarter Guy what were you holding at the end of the vid?
Lagiacrus has been confirmed for returning in MHX.
you are permitted to start celebrating
YYYYYYEEEAH MTHRFFFFFFFFFRRRRFUR
+Timmy Reobed I'm excited and if the Abyssal Lagiacrus aka Queen Abyss makes her return since she is my opinion the strongest out of the three species I'm definitely going to be happy. Taking on the queen of the deep is definitely one of the most thrilling and epic things to do in MH3U.
I'm honored
Lagiacrus The Terminator Your icon is azure Rathalos
I terminated that monster as well
Karate Shark no it isn’t dude
You made me buy this game. Thank you.
Diablos and Black diablos are gender specific as well
6 years and 5, technically 3, games of monster hunter experience, (3-Tri, 3U, Generations, Generations Ultimate, and World) still have no idea how to build, send help... Right now Charge Blade is what and I know to use Artillery, Capacity Boost, Razor Sharp, Guard and Guard Up (to use shield to its best), and some others that I can’t name off the top of my head. Any other skills that are useful in Generations Ultimate? Also I like to use impact phials and blast weapons even though most late game Elder Dragons aren’t affected by it. Other skills that still are good could be that one where it take less hits to charge phials and another one where yellow charge fills 5 phials while red fills 10.
Nah bruv popo is best monster ever, it is a literal boss
Not gonna lie, QG, this helped me decide to try out the game myself. About 200 hours later, I would say time and money well spent.
Love the deviljho music.
I'm the guy that would rather fight Savage Deviljho then try to fight those annoying great Jaggis wroggis and baggis.
Damn Great Wroggi's hipcheck spam...
so I guess we would make a great team. We deal with the Jho together and I take the bird wyverns down
I first saw this list before getting into MH, but now...
Thank you Quarter Guy for subjecting me to 150+ hours of kickass-ness (If that's even a word.)
My favorite monster is Ceadeus with Zinogre and Agnaktor tied at a close second.
I went from HR7 to HR32 after defeating the Dire Miralis, it was great.
Am I the only one who pronounces Alatreon as Uh-Let-Tree-On.
I went from HR7 to HR 42. I was like "What the heck!?!?"
I never faced the Miralis in 3U but when I finally defeated the Dalamadur in 4U, I went from HR7 to HR103!
Y'know what's really disheartening? FAILING the Jhen Mohran quest while "proof of a hero" is playing. :(((((((
*"Testament of a Hero"
+Cody Hines That's happened to me. Multiple times.
Have you read Monster Hunter Orage by Mashima Hiro?
In the Dire Mirales segment... QG:"...and even METEORS"
Me:"Didi anybody say, METEORS?"
Great list, man. Makes me wanna play Monhun.
What were you holding at the end? I couldn't quite tell.
The Circle Pad Pro.
Oh. Yeah. I never bothered with one. But yay for getting some use out of it!
Can you imagine if Alatreon could use Water? o_O
It's a mutated eevee!
eh, Water Blight is kinda the same as Ice blight
are you planning on making a top 10 with monster hunter 4 ultimate?
I just completed the monster guts mission last night and I was shaking by the end of it when i got all of the guts I was swimming towards the shore he was right beside me so I thought I could move slowly to not draw his attention I kept saying you don't see me then when I saw the exclamation mark above his head I then screamed fuck you you don't see me over and over I had no idea he was going to crash my party but it felt awesome completing it I can't wait to actually fight him
I played the PSP Monster Hunter a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, but I remember giving up on it because it got too difficult for me. I've considered trying MH3U for 3DS, but it upsets me greatly that only the Wii U version has online, and with MH4U just around the corner, I figured I can just wait for that to come out.
The psp versions of moster hunter have an insane level of difficulty epicially the unite series i took me for about 1000 hours of playing in order to get better equipment,farm all items,fight all A to G mission (yeah g missions are the worst)
I will now wait for the latest monster hunter
sean william I hear MH4 is actually harder than Freedom Unite, though for the RIGHT reasons and not programming errors. Not that I'd know personally. I haven't played the PSP Monster Hunter games.
yep iv been following all the info about monster hunter 4 since the day its been announced in japan and yes the difficulty of unite will return in MH4 as well only this time it will be much more difficult that that
sean william Oh, boy. O_O;
Well, maybe I'll be a little more tolerant of the difficulty after playing the Mega Man Zero series...
sean william More blodd for the rathalos set? I love it!
Hey, Quarterguy, the 4 of the top ten monsters you mention (zinogre, deviljho, barioth, and brachydios) are in the frontier series, and better than ever.
The Quarter Guy I know right First time I fought it I was like nope🤣🤣🤣🤣😰😰
What was that thing he was holding at the end of the video? A PSP?
QG, quest info has the Dragonship's health in it. It will say Normal - Low - Danger etc
I come back to this video every few years just to hear
“THE DRAGONATOR”
this guy sounds like sonic
SAAANIC! Gotta go FAAAAST!
Anybody have any strategies against the gold rathian and silver rathalos
