Yes they do!! The game is even kind enough to give you torch pods in EVERY rotten Vale campsite lol It only works against map efluviam, and it doesn't work like a nulberry. If you're AFFILIATED with efluviam you still need a berry, but the torch pods disperses MAP efluviam and creates a safe space for you to walk around in
@yolenain5 ай бұрын
@@Bison-StorytimeBack when i started one of my first maxed charmed was the purification one (no nulberries needed). And for effluvium, i like to play with glider and assassin mantle. Mantles make you immune against effluvium and you can switch between those 2 for 100% uptime. I still do hunts without those and use torch pods (temporal and rocksteady free wall bangs are nice too).

I'd like to add a piece of knowledge about palicoes gadgets. -The shield second ability actually does good damage because every attack the monster does will proc a counter attack and that can be alot of hits in a short time. -Plunderblade is better for damage than Flashfly, even if not as flashy than a mine on the ground. All three of its abilities does damage, especially the third. -Of course Meowlotov does more damage but if you want to use the utility of those, knowing that they do bring damage can convince to try them out. -If you want to try Palico only hunts, use the whistle for an ability just after your cat did it by himself for cooldown purposes (leading in faster quests). -And finally you can kill Fatalis in seconds with Meowcano thanks to a little exploit found rather recently by speedrunners. I'll let you search more by yourself. Oh and nice video Bison.😉

I believe I have an answer as to why the cat is allowed on Zorah ONLY when Nergigante lands. Zorah itself is both a locale and a monster, but as a locale it MOVES. The game needs to keep track of every individual entity on him, that is to say the hunter, their weapons, the magma cores, nergigante, the slinger ammo pickups, and every single instance of slinger shot and ammo/arrow of any potential hublnter and Zorah's meteorites. It needs to keep track of each position relative to itself, to others, to the multiple Zora pieces AND has to be done smoothly. MH games have struggled with this in the past (See the two sand whale Elder Dragons from 3 ans 4 and Dalamadur from 4U), so they dedicated so much more time to this part of the fight than to any other monster. So all this means they decided to reduce the amount of entities on Zorah, but since when Nergigante shows but Zorah stops, the cat is allowed in. Please note I'm not a game developer. I don't know if this is an amazing feat to this game, to this Engine or if I'm making something super trivial sound amazing. I just know the devs were exceedingly proud of this.
