If you are hunting alone, take all the first aid plus potions from the box. Even on solo hunts they stock it with 4 groups of 4 potions each.

People are sleeping on gourmet fish. Heals all red damage health, even through bloodblight, and gives you a regen effect for a time. You get em from cooking fish in the motley mix.

There's a really powerful Dango skill in Sunbreak called Dango Driver. You unlock it by going on a quest to fight two Blood-Orange Bishaten. What it does is it increases the percentage of red health you retain when you take damage. And if you upgrade this to level 4 via the hopping skewers then you now retain ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of damage you take turning into red health... It's insane. Even level 3, 2, or even just level 1 also make a big difference if you'd prefer another skill to be your level 4. Now you can just wait to regen it all, maybe take an immunizer or slot in Recovery Speed to boost the speed you regen, or just eat a gourmet fish which instantly heals all your red health (which with Level 4 Dango Driver is now your entire health bar).

As an extra tip to save supply space with your demon drug and armor skin save the load out with just 1x copy of each. After you drink it you have an extra slot instead of a 4x stack remaining If you die you're already back at base again anyways and just load your set again to get another

I'm so happy that sunbreak got so well received and I'm glad that they have made rise so much better

About capturing monsters. "Better rewards" was more true for Monster Hunter World. In Rise it's more like Different rewards, depending on what materials you are aiming for, one method will generally give you a better chance at it.

an additional tip: farcaster are a free get-out-of-jail emergency option. especially when you are at the point you would want to restock, but the fight did not give much openings to back out.

If you don't mind using the argosy, you can get the demon and Armor berries for the drugs and also you can buy pale extract. If you are struggling for dango tickets, make all your 3 argosies pop fish since you can get 2 per slot, after a couple of quest, grab all those pop fish and motly mix them, easily get above 20 dangos tickets.

Another tip: Don't attach to Magma Almudron with a Zero Sum Discharge while he is spinning around. Its hurts. A lot.

The power/armor charms stack with their upgraded versions. If you've got room in your inventory for all 4 go for it.

9:13 As an extention of this. Alway bring a Farcaster. It's a free escape if you think you could be in danger, it could save carts. And also Farcaster is just a free reload on supplies, so your ready to return anewed. I know it is preparing for a bad situation but sometimes it is good to have a failsafe in place instead of being punished for running low on supplies or health.

Pro tip, if you use a beetle imbued with a certain element that’s a certain monsters weakness, they’ll stager, so you can use them for free staggers, but it doesn’t work on elder dragons

For starting Master rank, free meal is actually really useful, if you have extra slots, definitely slot it in. Because of the difficulty spike, you might find yourself using more potions and other consumable resources, Free meal will help to mitigate that a little bit and make you have to restock less often mid hunt.

In my personal experience, I find equipping my Palico/Palamute with Paralysis is better for group hunts. With sleep, you're more than likely going to proc the sleep right as your Switchaxe friend starts his Zero Sum Discharge on the thing and wake it right back up as your Palico drops the fireworks in a now empty space. To summerize, bring paralysis for group hunts and bring sleep (and Palico Fireworks) for solo hunting

The sniff out function for the palamute in the action bar is very usefull, it shows the locations when the mini map is zoomed out too, so you don't have to use the detailed map to see it. I use it to mark green spiribirds on the map, so that i can pick them up on my way to the monster. It also helps if your looking for mining points, bonepiles, jewel lillies or endemic life locations.

1.) Get the Garangolm weapon of preference ASAP. Bare minimum of 300 raw Attack, a three notch Decoration slot, two one notch slots, and a two notch Rampage slot. 2.) As soon as you can face Lunagaron, fight it, and upgrade your Garngolm weapon. You need 10 points of Garangolm materials, a Large Beast Gem, and some Lunagaron spoils. One of the one notch Decoration slots becomes a two notch, plus the Attack buff. 3.) If at all possible, work Divine Protection in your build. Seriously, don't sleep on it. 4.) This kinda goes without saying but collect Spiribirds. As much as I love Josh, it pains me every single time to see him not get any Spiribirds and get mulched, astounded that he was one-shot from 100 HP. I know Spiribird's Call exists, but that skill might take a great loadout to not as great. 5.) Have fun!

Don’t forget you can sharpen and drink buff/heal pots on your palamute. Keeps you mobile and lets you sprint right back in to keep the damage on.

I play solo exclusively and my big pro tip is learn a spiribird route and take the 5 minutes every hunt to max out or nearly max out your stats. The extra health, stamina and defense goes a long way to increasing your survivability, and the extra attack makes the hunt go that much quicker. Along the way, you'll be able to pick up some hunting helper endemics too (and some all-purpose gathering).

Learn Where Your Hunting Helpers Are! Spiders, beetles and more; I recommend stacking up a few before even taking on your target --- STRONGLY ENCOURAGE Wyern Riding at the beginning to deal good damage right out the gate; but make sure to pick up either the ruby or gold bug prior to that or more riding damage or more monster parts.

Why check your map screen and make a mental checklist when you can use the new Palamute marking feature? You can individually choose ANY collectible available on a map and have it show up on your mini-map. And the best part is that you can mix and match the things you want to track. If you want red spiribirds, honey, brewhares and bomb gas frogs, you set them them all and they'll appear on your minimap. Oh, and the tracking settings are saved on a per-map basis and carry between hunts.

I'm a HR 600 and MR 280, with close to 600hrs or so into Rise/Sunbreak... I never really messed too much with the motley mixes except once or twice. Never new I could get that many DANGO TICKET!! THE POWER IS SURGING WITHIN ME NOW!!!

Quick tip. Only take 1 mega demondrug and 1 mega armordrug. The effect lasts the whole hunt unless you cart. If that happens, just restock in tent. This saves pouch space.

As a Heavy Gunner who runs double Palicos, a few extra tips. 1) Use the Felvine! It’s a darn good buff to the lil murder machines. 2) Build a loadout for each of your guns, bring only the ammo you are most likely to use so you can flip though the wheel faster, and when using Sticky or Slice bring the materials to craft more ammo on the fly. 3) Setup your hot wheel to craft ammo at the flick of a button instead of going into the menu. 9 is way too few Sticky 3s for a fight, but if you bring the materials you can actually pump out like 69 before having to restock at the tent, without and spare shot procs! 3a) Advanced tip for crafting sticky 3’s, they craft 2 at a time, so to prevent wasting materials don’t wait until you are out, craft more whenever you have a moment and are on an odd number remaining. 4)

for the wyvern riding, some hunters just press the ultimate already when it's fully charged but you can actually use strong attack + evade repeat then launch your ult at the last second. more output for you and knock out the monster way longer :)

With loadouts it is better to have a main one but because you have so many slots for loadouts having some tailored for specific monster or weapon types is a better idea. For example Elder Dragons are immune to traps so have a loadout that doesn't include them when you go to fight an Elder Dragon. Also Dung Bombs are an amazing tool to use add to most loadouts whenever you want to avoid getting double-teamed by monsters.

i find stun resistance 3 ends up saving me way more than defense up. With wire bugs and palamutes, its very easy to escape danger, unless you are stunned. They are both 1 slots, and it saves me so much

I take one Mega demondrug & Armorskin, that way I get two slots of free space. Majority of my inventory is healing and then things to craft ammo lol Also another thing I do is I’ll take one monster that’s not my target, wyvern ride, take that to my target, launch monster at the end of the ride, ride my target to (if there’s a 3rd monster on map) and after doing damage, launch again so I can ride 3rd monster to do more damage to my target.

I actually picked up on most of these on my own, but I hadn’t really been using Shock Traps, especially not for easy part targeting. The final tip was also something I never noticed.

3:28 My dumb ass decided to try to clear the whole story with high rank armor, as a challenge. I eventually managed to do it but, while it sounds like an extremely stupid thing to do, it really made this expansion that much more memorable to me. I had to be way more careful about getting hit, managing my potions, finding good openings, trying to learn monsters' patterns as fast as possible... and that final boss fight was so much more dramatic and difficult than it would've normally been. Some ppl told me it was an easy fight while I still have this warped perception of this motherfucker being scary as hell and almost one-shotting me with even its lightest attacks. Would recommend

Hundreds of hours and I didn’t know Armor/Demondrug lasted until you carted.

As a gunner, I really felt that last tip that it's safer to be up close than further away. I wonder how different the monsters' movesets are

You forgot about Wide Range, very useful when doing multi-player, keeping everyone from fainting means greater chance of success with the quest.

Onstead of opening map i think you can use sniff em out feature you can scroll it with your d pad and mark every item or endemic life on the map

One big trip, don't sleep on flash pods. Because they briefly stop the monster from targeting you, its a great opportunity to get off a heal, sharpen or buff, mostly safely.

Since you just learned about trap efficiency, allow me to pass on this pro strat. For monsters like narga or rajang that can only be caught in pitfalls while enraged, theres actually a way to maximize trap time. Normally a monster thats enraged escapes traps faster, but on monsters that can only be trapped during rage makes this a bit of a problem as you cant use it at any other time. But there is an exploit. If you time things perfectly (you'll have to figure it out) you can catch the monster on the last second of its rage state so it will be in the trap as it calms down letting it stay trapped longer. (as a bonus add stun and paralysisi at the last second before it gets out to go even longer) This was an old strategy back in the older titles and is probably still applicable here too. Thought I share that veterans strat to anyone that has never thought to try it.

In a way I feel this video explains the training wheels on the bike, rather than teaching to become a "better hunter". A few thoughts: - Ideally you should be using fewer defense-focused skills as you improve. - If you are going to use defensive skills to avoid outright failing a quest, start with Fortify. It's the top offense and defense skill in the game if you're getting carted. - "Where are you safe?" depends on the monster and can't be reduced to a far/close rule. If we need a simplified rule, try to be behind the shoulder. - Monster difficulty is often relative to the weapon used to take it on. Learning a second or third weapon will give you more options than new players will have access to. When you can start asking "what's the best weapon for this fight?" instead of "how do I kill the monster with the one weapon I can use?", you will be well on your way to becoming a "better hunter". - The game does little to explain concepts like EFR, element damage and weak points. Learn these concepts. - When you know the monster's move set and are comfortable with the fight, you should only really need enough armor to avoid being one-shotted. Work toward this as a good sign of being better at hunting.

That list tip is the type of things i like hearing. Staying near the monster instead of runnin far. I notice this just makes a loop of eating more and doing the same leading to very frustrating moments. I'd like to know more I guess fundamental tips like this.

I like using the umbrella on my palamute. The spinning multi hit attack it has pretty much heals a full healthbar and can help you save some pots or even downright stop you from carting in a pinch

Not running away from monsters is actually a really good DPS increase, especially in team hunts -that not enough people are talking about. If you run away too much, the monsters will move all around the place, making your friends chase them all over the place, instead of hitting them. So yeah, if you need to heal or whatever, move AROUND them. Not away from them.

Marionette spiders are your best friend, i wanna add you cam have your dog auto sniff out endemic life on every map like sliders, toads and beetles

The Felyne Red is another great buddy weapon. Ridiculous amounts of poison for good damage throughout a fight

I carted a lot in sunbreak then I started using evade extender and its a life saver can only recommend using it

My tip is take the items used to make traps with you. I littery take 4 traps on every hunt. Have my pitfall trap, my shock trap. And if I use both I can just craft another of each on the spot

Regarding the potions + mega potions, I prefer to simply bring a Farcaster. running low? farcaster. About to die cause you're trapped in the zone? Farcaster.

Don't waste your rampage slot and an armor skill if you want fast spiribirds. Just use hopping skewers and the dango that boosts spiribirds. It doubles every spiribird you pick up, meaning you can easily max out just heading to the monster.

I feel like I have gotten really good at Monster Hunter, and I can't believe I didn't think of dodging and healing rather than healing at a distance. Not only do I feel bad bailing on my teammates, but it can be so frustrating with monsters that are fast and sporadic constantly nailing you over and over. Thank you for your video.

2:49 Yall please. Do not hit the monster with a kunai to wake it up when you are trying to do double damage with a mega barrel bomb.

I know this is a sixth month old video, but regarding route planning: If you've brought a Palamute you can use the sniff out skill they made for it to tag any of the endemic life you can use. Then they'll just be displayed on your map without having to open the menus. Also, since you can use items while on your Palamute, you can hop onto it to heal or sharpen while moving faster.

To add to the Spiribirds tip: If you can't get the skill, learn where Spiribirds are on the map and create a route to take at the beginning of a hunt to collect some, not all. I can collect to max out HP and Stamina, if necessary, in each zone save the two new zones in Sunbreak (because they are so spread out and in random spots) in under 5 min leaving me 45 to complete the hunt.

Yes, being close to the monster while healing can be safer. But quite often, when you really need to heal you are in a chaotic situation. The monster might be mid combo, your item wheel might be on a different item which means you'd have to scroll for a while to reach your potions or your camera might be oriented poorly in a way that isn't necessarily fixed by retargeting and you just need to heal without having a clear picture of the situation. In those cases, gaining some distance is extremely useful because seeing a wider angle of the fight allows you to realign your position, ready your potions and dodge when necessary.

Bro, I *finally* got a Hollow video recommended to me! I miss this guy.

i would add to the dango tickets section "you can buy raw meat in the argosy for points and cook it at the kitchen to get pretty much infinite tickets"

Tipp: if you have 3 one slots avaliable try using Free Meal. In most hunts the free first aids + last the entire hunt. So do Max potions and aincient potions, stamina foods, antidots, nullberrys, etc.

For the dog I just use the umbrella and the heal scroll, pretty much impossible to die if you have something that heals plus that going off at the same time😂

1. I haven't been running demondrug and armordrug except on elder dragons. I'll start giving it a go. 2. Didn't know that Motely Mix did all that. 3. Have to stop running away to use potions. It is super dangerous . Thanks for the tips.

Very helpful for a returning player such as myself, good things to take into master rank. Thanks so much for the abundance of info!

I would love to see a great Bow build 😅

When you're bringing demondrug and armourskin only bring one. That way you'll gain back the gathering slots because if you do faint you can just go into the camp and restock your item loadout.

As a newer player to MHR. I'll be doing some of these or most of them, and getting in the habit. Your videos have helped me. Didn't play MHW, so coming in fresh. Will be watching more.

While staying close to the monster while taking a pot can be safer, I'd still advise to, when in doubt, mount your palemute and run away to heal. There's monsters that can obliterate you - specially when enraged - if you stay running at a leasurely pace while chugging a pot. Zinogre, for example, or Rajang. They do have long distance attacks, but they have tells and are more or less easy to avoid; but they have A LOT of melee jukes and jabs that will get you killed while you're trying to get healed. Doing that near an enraged apex zinogre is basically suicide. Also, in MP, they are FAR more active and move much more, meaning you can get hit easily. Other than that, solid tips.

The final boss hammer look insane. Easily my top looking weapon of all time.

I have item load outs for aggressive kills and a separate one for aggressive captures. I carry mega demondrug and armorskin, the nuts for both and powders (they stack). I also have variations for sonics, poison, poison+blight, poison+ sonics (Chameleos), hellfire, webbing and my infinibomb loadout called " 'splosions!!!!!! "

I feel that Hollow is the actual pro on this channel.

Bonus for the heal scroll when it procs if your close and low hp mount him and do a quick combo and bam full health.

I recently changed my buddies' weapons to paralysis and blast, and honestly, I don't think I could go back. Paralysis procs fairly frequently, due to the palamute silkbinder and attack speed scroll making him a machine gun for status, and the random blast procs work great in tandem with my partbreaker.

If you're afraid of OHKO you can grab moxie from the dangos and it can save your hide. And it works fine as the level 1 dango meaning you still got you lvl4 and lvl3 to work witg

that last tip, I'd like for everyone in multiplayer to understand.

I would always make it so I only have one demondrug and armorskin on me so that I can keep two slots for gathering. If I cart I just restock real quick since I'm already there. Not as necessary though with the palamute, it's a habit from prior entries

As a charge-blade main, that Wyvern Ride tip is super helpful. Lost many a combo that way. Also, anyone else run Herb in loadout as well, so you can just harvest Honey to craft?

bro the chests in every mission give so many heals and meat that I have yet to use any of mine in MR specially with free meal

A healing palico with healing horn has saved me so so many times

For me when I do it correctly with the barrel bomb, when I press the button after the counter to do a true slash I hold it until they left their hands ups then I let go before they pull their hands back down to true slash to get extra damage.

I am running the same dual blades from the video but I have been struggling to find a mixed set that feels tanky and good on the dps side.

One thing to note is that demon drug and mega demon drug don’t stack so don’t drink a regular one and and then a mega version it’s just wasting the regular version (same with armor skin)

Spiribird Jewel... Easy to get... I'm not sure we have been playing the same game - that thing took ages to grind for, just to unlock the monsters to get the parts to craft the jewel with.

Hello Hollow!

I wonder when the best hunting horn set will be revealed 🤔

I haven't watched RageGamingVideos since he was making minecraft build competitions and making jokes about machinima, so 2 questions, how long has he been making MH content, and it's obviously not just him anymore, who else can I look forward to seeing in these videos?

I always use dash juice more than energy drink when running bow or duel blades

When it comes to doing potions or sharpening I'd say get on your palamute you move so much faster when you heal then and it's that much harder for the monster to get anywhere near you

Dango skill activation success is actually predetermined before you eat, and trying to reset the game/rerolling will not change the results, the same applies to the ticket. It almost feels like the tickets are a lie. If it fails you are forced to complete a quest in order to actually try again. Bear this in mind should you desperately need to have a skill active. (so much time wasted reseting just to realize its the same result every time)

Tip 1: Collect your Heckin SpiritBirds...ffs. (Edit) Just finished the video, and you did not mention SpiritBirds at all, you are fighting these monsters with Nurfed stats, just look at how much HP you are missing by default, missing on tons of defence, getting hit for 100 damage is negligible if you actually collect your Birds...it makes the biggest immediate difference.

No one has explained how to bonk a monsters head into the wall with your silk string.

I didn’t learn 1 new thing 😬 but this is great for new players

I know it is an old video, but why is no one talking about having both demondrug and mega demondrug, or armorskin and mega armorskin in your loadout? They do not stack, and doing so in the loadout effectively wastes 2 slots in your limited item pouch. If anything, use those 2 slots for materials to craft more traps, so that in case you still want to capture the monster after using the trap to create dps window, you can still do so without having to go back to camp. Also, the tip about healing near the monster is sort of a bad advice. Monsters have different movesets depending on if you are near or far away (which is why you don't see monsters using melee attack when you are far away). If you stand near them, instead of doing the projectiles, they may just swipe at you, and if you are already low on health, that is just asking for cart. When you are far away, monsters projectiles are mostly travelling in a straight line and do not track, meaning dodging them is not that hard. Think Mangamalo's tail orbs or Nargacuga's tail spikes, all you need to do is walk sideways and those won't hit you. You don't even need to cancel the heal with a roll. For something faster like Rajang's beam, just roll to the side. If anything, the tip should be "keep your eye on the monster when you heal", since one of the most common reason for newbies to cart is that they are fiddling with the item bar looking for the potion and not paying attention to the monster preparing a charge or an attack.

I just replayed Iceborne before Sunbreak and it did not really pose a challenge to me (except Alatreon and Fatalis obviously). Sunbreaks difficulty is on an entirely new level for me. Oh how I missed the feeling of almost shitting my pants because of the constant threat of carting

Does the mega versions of demon drug and armor skin stack with the regular versions? I didn't think they did

Very helpful. Thanks!

Can you tell us the best greatsword build pls josh

Wait, demon drug and armor skin last until you cart? I could have sworn they had a time limit in the older games.

that display looks slick and crisp, are you running MH on PC ?

Catalist you can simply trade in the Argosy with Rondine.

The concept of being safer being close to the monster than farther away intrigues me, since the normal reaction to danger is to get as far away as possible.

Im hahing trouble getting a wyvern gem what should u be hunting in HR as a dual blade user

>pick longsword >punish everything

I was wondering... at the start of the hunt I drink a Mega Demondrug and a Mega Armorskin. As soon as I collect defense spiribirds... I am suddenly able to drink another Mega Armorskin. Is this really adding on top of the bird or is it just a gltich buggy glitch? Did anyone else notice that?

Hey guys I need some help TELL ME WHAT LAYERED PANTS COTTON USES ON HIS HUNTER thanks

0:47 besides the obvious normal and Mega Potions, the items i always carry (that i remember having) are: Nulberries. because i believe i'll be seeing my old friends (Gore and Shagaru) a lot. Lifepowder and Dust of Life. because i have run into quests where they were carting constantly, so having these two is a good way to keep them alive. normal and Mega Barrel Bombs. because if a monster is sleeping, i'd like to be able to blow it up before chopping it to bits and bashing it in the face (i'm a SnS user; i can do both). Energy Drinks, Rations and Well-done Steaks. in case i run out of the Supply Items Rations, i have backup. *always* keep your stamina maxed out; you'll need the full bar for the majority of the hunt. espescially if you have a Palico instead of a Palamute and decide to chase the monster on foot (even if you fast travel to the camp that is closer to the monster, you stll need to get to it). Farcaster. in case i need to urgently retreat and restock. Antidotes, Herbal Medicines and Herbal Powders. i never know when i'm facing a Poison monster. given that both Raths - and Espinas, now - are poisonous, i'm going to need those three items. Traps and Tranquilizers. if a hunt is dragging out for too long (espescially if my battery is running low), then i can always trap the monster; unless it's an Elder Dragon, that is. between Pitfall and Shock, i always alter. if i use one, i'll pack another, and the cycle repeats. Max and Ancient Potions. a last resort in case i run out of Potions and Mega Potions. *side note:* i'm thinking of carrying Sushifish with me. i could go fishing for them... but it's easier to just go on a Seregios quest, pick them from the Supply Chest, return to town and then put them in the Item Box. the only thing that's missing is my will to do that cycle. i need to remind myself to do that once i go back tonight.

I've never see that many armor spheres in mah life. 4:00

Insted of 20 why not 30(single player only*28 in 2 player) take the honey and the EZ meds
