Pro-tip: Set the Argosy to bring back trade items. Pay attention to the heartbeat, when it’s close to flat (even if there’s no skull on the monster minimap) set your trap. Use the SOS often, you’ll meet new friends. Craft weapons with decoration slots, set Slugger decorations to help with dropping the monster. *DON’T* use the flash pod on Diablos. You can’t trap Nergi. Happy Hunting 🍻

Something to appreciate: the palico chefs are not precisely idle when outside the cutscene. One goes through the entire process of making bread from scratch, albeit with insane speed for any given step, but every step present.

This is so insane but I love it. It feels like old times when I first started with this game again. I was in the same boat as you where I absolutely HATED this game in the beginning because of how annoying it was to get used to the crazy mechanics in this game. Fast forward to now and it ended up being the first game I ever played for 1000 freakin hours and still counting.

Here's a tip for newcomers. You can speed up the quest book animation by holding the R1 button (Right bumper on Xbox and R on 8bitdo pro 2) on a playstation controller.

New guy here, I'm playing this and Rise. Rise is winning currently (more my pace). Both are my first MH games. So thanks for this and the Rise vids.

Dude yes!!!! As someone who just jumped back in after an EXTENDED break of almost 2 years, I’m so glad this guide is here

New player to MH here. The biggest challenge for me getting into the game has been the convoluted Japanese style menus/wording/numbering that messes with my Western mindset, and the sheer amount of text popus and tutorials very nearly drove me away, but the game's charm has been pulling me through it and I'm pulling many more hours than I anticipated. Coming from Dark Souls and Elden Ring this is fitting like a glove and I can see how does many things better, or just differently in great ways for its genre. Also I fell in love with the Glaive immediately.

Got back into MH: World because of the MH: Wilds announcement, just got to Iceborne again. This game is amazing. Been following this franchise since before World came out, World was my first Monster Hunter and its been awesome.

Just started my first MH of the series with MHW few days ago and this guide is the MH starter bible of all guides. This covers more than any other video I’ve seen and makes MHW much more enjoyable. Thanks so much for this!!!

I watched all of your videos when world came out and then when ris3 came out. Had this massive itch to get back into it and here you are, making another video to help fellow hunters. Love you man.

Thank you VERY VERY much for this VERY in-dept video. Just started this game and this is BY FAR one of the BEST vids i've seen! It is a zoo at YT to find easy to understand new player vids and this one is very easy to understand. Thank you for this. Subbed !

hey ruri, love the content - your vids got me into MH. and man do i grew to love these games. I really cant approiciate them enough, The world, the monster, the hunt, the gameplay. all just fantastic.

Ty for the guide. You have always been a great source for knowledge, content, and entertainment. Never stop my friend

thank you love to see your videos and streams. im from germany so sometimes its kinda hard for me to understand some things but im learning and i wish whoever reads this a happy new year ^^

Glad to see you're using CB again. I came back to World with a new save as well, played all through LR with gunlance, but couldn't resist the siren song of CB and went back to it early in HR.

It's crazy that the game has seen such a resurgence that the entire KZfaq scene has revived overnight

Rurikhan, Thank You so much for putting all the effort to make these helpful videos--much appreciated!! You are now my #1 Go-To for all things Monster Hunter World! This super helpful video may be long, but it is ESSENTIAL and dare I say MANDATORY for anyone intending to play Monster Hunter World OPTIMALLY. You are doing god's work Rurikhan!! 🙏

Thanks for this vid man. I'm a total new player and really loving MHW for the first few hours trying to understand all these systems. Your breakdown is super helpful!

Great video, im 2000hours deep and still learn new things from you ❤ i had no idea about the scoutflies cage showing direction 😂 Fresh save, HBG gang incoming!

This is the best, clearest, and, bar far, most comprehensive MHW guide I've seen! Thank you and amazing work!

My new year's resolution is to get a friend good at MonHun, preparing him for Wilds next year, so this is the perfect thing to have come out at the beginning of the year. Cheers! ❤

I have almost 200 hours in game, and I'm now changing some of my option settings because of your suggestions, thanks!

Let's fucking GO, Rurikhan! 81 minutes of pure updated MHW tutorial goodness. Stuff from you, Gaijin, Arrekz were amazing tutorials to get into the game back in 2018.

Dude, I thought I was learning the game on my own blind. 40 hours in and nearly every tip you gave was brand new to me & I'm surprised I've missed so many layers to the game so far that were right in front of me. Thanks for the video

5:10 So a few things regarding camera controls: It defaults to Focus Camera, not Target Camera. Focus is the DS lock-on. Target is the MH3U/4U lock-on. I think Target Cam is the best option. I'm used to it from Rise and 3U and find it handy for when the monster jumps over you or around you or starts to fly away. Or when it's obscured and you can't track it because the Ancient Forest is cluttered. It's just nice to be able to tap L1 and get your bearings, even if you're still manually moving the camera 90% of the time. There's no downside to setting it to Target Cam vs "Do Not Focus" And at 5:58 you seem to agree, since you're discussing Target Camera Settings. Settings which obviously don't matter at all unless you're... well, using Targeting Camera. I imagine you just misspoke or got confused with World's similarly named yet totally different options. It's too late to change this information in the video obviously, but maybe you can create an annotation or pinned comment with the correct information? Anyways, I have not watched the rest of the video, but am looking forward to it since I tend to learn a lot from your guides and I'm pretty new to World and there's a bunch of weird systems compared to other games that I just don't know what to do with. But I need to learn, both for myself and for a couple friends who I managed to talk into playing with me. This will be my first time teaching someone else the ropes rather than the other way around, so I'm excited :) (I had a similar story to you. I tried 3U with a cousin and we couldn't figure it out and gave up. Years later a friend of mine convinced me to give it another chance and I fell in love with Rise and have gone back to play GU and 3U since and now am starting World)

As a new player who wasn't blessed by this giga-guide and found stuff out the pre-90's way, I can CONFIRM that you WILL want the auto sheath OFF. The auto sheath is likely made to help the monsters have an easier time, not ours.

Literally just got back into after my initial attempt failed years ago, just finishing the base story and realizing that is a “This is where the fun begins situation” excited to get better

You’re simply the best, man. Thank you so much, rurikhan. You make making videos look easy ❤️

Great video Ruri. Actually started a new playthrough after a while, and this came in really handy.

Hell yeah. I started watching your channel with this game and i started another playthrough a couple months ago. Good hunting

Great video man! Recently returned to MH World and this is by far the best video I've found. Really appreciate it! Subbed, Liked, shared in our Discord and you're now my go to MH source. The Asmon reactions are great also. Hope all is well and take care my friend!

My first EVER video I watched when I was doing research on MHW was one of his videos and damn I was hooked. I’m glad I watched his video first cuz he convinced me to get the game & play the hunting horn my first play thru too lol

Nice to see rurikhan back in world!!! I have all my friends back to world as well. We’re having a blast. Third fleet podcast has been awesome too!

Thank you for this as I am just now getting into this game. Picked up on sale a few days back and about to dive in. It definitely feels overwhelming in the beginning for sure.

i'm 90 seconds in. I love this video already! I've struggled with this franchise for a longtime but it's a lot of fun. Thank you for this vide3o, it's very entertaining and helpful.

thanks! this video was what i needed. it explained everything perfectly, especially those mechanics back at base.

There are some great tips even for returning players like me. I haven't touched World for couple years now, so I totally forgot how big of a game changer those Camera settings were. 👍

Finally a new player guide that actually explains things for a complete MH newbie. Every other "beginner guide" I tried to watch, felt like it needed a beginner guide to the beginner guide, lmao. Thank you so much for this. I SMASHED that like button, haha

As someone who's got around 2k hours between 3u, 4u, W/I, R/S, obviously I'm going to watch an hour and a half long beginner guide on one of my favorite games. Maybe I'll even learn something I've managed to miss all this time.

39:30 Alternative to the audio cue, you can just watch the handle. It starts vertical, and after two revolutions, the meat is done. After a quarter revolution more, the meat will be over-cooked. It bears mentioning that both under-cooked and over-cooked meat are still edible. I don't know the advantage of under-cooked, but over-cooked is faster to eat, but gives less stamina increase per serving.

Thanks for the video. I'm starting to play MHW and I didn't know most of the mechanics in te game.I think that now it will be easier for me to understand the rest of the game mechanics. Thanks and good luck with your channel. Thumb up and sub :)

This is such a fantastic guide, and incredibly informational!! Thank you!

First timer here. First MH ever. Just getting into the weapons and learning all of em. Thx for the informative vid. Liked and subbed!

I restarted mhw maining a greatsword. Generally I go with an Insect Glaive every time and other fast weapons. I have to say, GS didn't feel as slow and clunky as I feared it to be and really loved how monsters melted like butter in a furnace (no guardian equip, of course). Don't get intimidated by weapons that look slow or hard. You will learn to play it very fast if you keep at it.

Great video ! You should make a playlist with you'r monster hunter world content and tutorials because they are quite hidden since they are older . If i scroll through you'r channel i find no videos about MHW. It makes it easier to go to other tutorials since you recommended other videos of yours. Maybe put some tutorials in the description, it would make it easier easier to navigate :)

This is perfect! I just reloaded the game this morning because I never got into it on ps4. Thank you!

My friend really recommended this game so I’ll be trying to get this game sometime this year, be nice to hype up Monster Hunter Wilds as well for 2025, as that game looked just so stunning. I’ll will be looking back to this video for beginner guidance. Thanks for posting this. ☺️👍

Excellent guide. My 2 friends and I are super new as of yesterday. We we’re getting clapped 😔 but with this guide I think I’m going to be able to hard carry. 🔥 Thanks 🙏

Just picked up the game on the recent sale and this guide was invaluable. Thanks so much!

I won't lie I was a bit nervous watchin this video as a newbie due to the length of it, but the time stamps made it less dauntin. Amazingly informative and overall great content hope you keep it up man.

Bought MHW for the Steam Deck for a cheap price and your tutorial is fucking GOLDEN! I am someone who likes to know the general layout of things before I go in so thank you!

Thank you for the in depth overview. Really appreciate it!

Thanks for making this video, I'm new to MHW and this guide definitely helped me Rurikhan = )

Thanks for making the video. I just started playing the game on PlayStation and your explanations helped a lot.

I'm like 50 hours in, and I figured I'd check out a guide, (yours) to see if I could learn more and so far I've learned more than 1 thing I never knew, and I'm 11minutes in. This is a great guide Dude, thanks for making it! I'm switching from Keyboard to controller, becaues the keyboard is fine, but it makes accessing all the functions a little figgity. Honestly the Keyboard controls and bindings are brutal and quite hellish to use. EDIT - I just learned another handful of things, as in, a literal ton of useful things.

Thank you so much for this vid, as a new returning player (what I mean by that is I downloaded and started to play back in like 2018-2019 im not sure when I started but I only played for like a couple of days before I was utterly overwhelmed and confused before giving up and uninstalling until recently reinstalling after realizing I accidentally bought the iceborne dlc/expansion and that if I don’t play I’d be wasting money.) started playing again yesterday and was still a bit confused on crafting and combat (I’m also a solo, I play offline for the most part.) so after a couple of days trying to get the feel of the controls and environments I was in search of a detailed tips or guides and stumbled upon yours which was more than I could’ve expected. So I’m very much grateful for this video as I never ate at the canteen much as I thought it were optional and only for aesthetic purposes. Much appreciated ❤😅

You and Fightin Cowboy make the best starter guides hands down. Nice work!

I am a newbie in MHW even though I own it in ps4 and steam, I really have no time to play. Thanks for your guide brother. Will be playing soon and this is a big help.

Thanks for making this. I need it. Only 15 hours in and I can't quite figure out if I like this game yet.

This my friend, is how you do a honest beginners guide, not the ones that almost play for you, like "choose this", "choose that".... Obrigado Rurikhan!

best tutorial so far, I am just getting into it, thanks a lot!

Thus video is so valid and necessary. I've been on rise, but today I hop back on world just to see what's going on, and so many new players came in!!! Like lvl 1 players. Rooms are almost full again. Omg the next MH is gonna be wild lol

Thank you so much. Exactly what I needed. After you retuned to World I finally bought MHW myself. Let’s go 🙌

Love it! I'm 18 hours in and missed so much. Thank you!

this is really useful as someone who has't played the game in years couse its all easy to forget considering how much systems and details this game has.

Great insight into the game, i followed most of it :-). Played Elden Ring, Bloodborne etc and been meaning to try this, so will now give it a go and see how i get on. Not going to lie though, a little intimidating how much there is to know!

I played this game so much the first year it came out. Haven't played since. Maybe this video popping up on my home screen was a sign for me to redownload the game.

Your guide has been my bible man 🙏 thank you for making the start "easier" !!

New players will never know how much QOL MH:World brought to the franchise. No more paintball. No more quitting if you forgot to eat, no more flexing ahhhh....

Amazing video! Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed as a returning noob :D

Thank you very much for this guide. 👍☺

A good thing to use the Tailraider for is Kelbis (the little green deer icon). They will get Kelbi Horns which are needed to craft Ancient Potions that heal you to full and increase both your max stamina and health to full as well. I always try and send my Trailraiders after them. Sometimes they'll appear in different maps, and there's usually at least one with them.

bro u ask if i learn anything from this ? i absolutely did and thank you so much for this updated guide.

what a nice guide! Thanks for the effort Ruri

Man ever since the monster hunter game that gave you the link outfit and the master sword I’ve wanted to get into it, I bought rise, put in 59 hours and got terrible burnt out. But world always looked so fun. So I’m downloading it, still terribly worried I just deleted daily games for nothing but this video gives me hope 😭❤️ I’m subbing even if I end up hating the game again, simply because this is an amazing beginner guide 😁

Yes, this is a video we needed. Thank you!

This is so helpful. I’m an hour deep into the game and very lost. I don’t usually play these sorts of games (more of a fifa and rocket league guy) so the confusion is exacerbated 😂

THANKS for this Rurikhan! I learned a lot!

Thx for the video man, got this game 4 years ago for free tried it and was so overwhelmed by all the system i quit and went to play Dauntless, now im trying it again and almost quit again but with this video i finally understand and can play it 🤟

I’ve played through world and Iceborne campaigns 3 times and have over 2500 hours total in the game…and I’m still watching every second of this video.

Hands down best MHW guide out there. Earned another subscriber just from this video 👍

A tip for returning players reinstalling on Steam, pls backup copy of your save (local and remote). You can thank me later.

Its on sale at the moment for less then a Big Mac Combo so here I am learning how to play.

Played MWH for 2 years, 1300 hrs. And noone ever told me you can just HOLD the (O) button to multi-carve and multi-forage. Obviously, you hardcore/pro players already knew this. It was so obvious you never bothered to tell us noobs. But, you wouldn't believe the relief it gave me to not have my character stand back up multiple times doing bonepiles.

MHFU was my favorite game of all time. I played this game around launch, but there wasn't all that much to it at the time, so I haven't played it since. Just recently picked it up on sale and I was overwhelmed by all the new mechanics. This video was super helpful, thanks.

really good and complete thnk u:)

This is helpful. Just got world. My daughter has Rise. Ive only played MG:Now, other than the first (i think).

Great in-depth video. You’re the goat!

Been losing sleep over worldborne again. Played from 10pm to 5am this weekend. Brutal but lot of fun. Forgot that there was so much content. Hello to all the new players and nice to be back to the older ones ❤

I'm not new, but these vids are so good, I couldn't resist 😅

best beginner's guide on youtube, hands down

freak yeah, get that ad money rurikhan! dude's a legend, great content for monster hunter always.

Just got back into the game (1100 hours). My wife never fought Alatreon nor Fatalis. So today we conquered Alatreon together. It took a few wipes, but we're now an unstoppable duo. It feels great. We'll get to Fatalis once we farm Alatreon a bit and get her a decent build for the final fight.

MAN thanks so much I was so confused about how to find the monsters...

Just got the game. Amazing video thanks 👍

I can't believe he is updating this guide thank you in in the guiding lands and getting my buns handed to me steamed.

If you are looking for more ideas for videos... a 2024 guiding lands guide would be super helpful! all the videos people have put out on that seem to be from before capcom made changes to it ("fixed" it according to some) so I have no idea how relevant they still are

i do have a friend that as bought the game 3 times but he always stops playing after the "final boss" shara and previously xeno'jiiva and he refuses to play after them, always says there is no point in doing so but at the same time he just mashes X to skip dialogue, theres nothing i say that changes hes mind so i would send him tis vid in the hopes he would finaly understand but hes a instagram reels watcher hed prob skip to the midle and then the end in 5 seconds sadly edit : he does enjoy the gameplay

Actually learned something new lul. I never notices the scout fly cage thing indicating the direction. I'd always open the map and close it which would then turn the camera to where the scoutflies are going...

Thank you!
