Yuna’s perspective on waiting for fight Magnamalo is the exact reason that I haven’t watched any of the full hunts like IGN’s Somnocanth hunt. I’d rather experience it blind.

YUNA HAS JOINED THE CULT OF DOOTING

Gaijin, I just wanted to share that two dear friends of mine have this exact heart issue, to the point where they were paranoid of heart attacks a lot, or something deeper being wrong. But then, after an ECG, both turned out this same way, like it must be psychosomatic or anxiety driven. I know it isn't helpful but sometimes knowing that you aren't alone is nice~

I'm a Third Fleeter teacher who teaches 42 kindergarteners (5 year olds) online. Our parents can opt for online or in-person. Boy, I sure understand that whole "I can't control you on the other end bit." I have to put on a personality of sorts to keep them engaged. It feels like I'm a circus act buuuuut it works. :) Anyways, love you both! Keep up the great content bc this is the best stuff to listen to while grading!

Gajin: "when you are are fifth fleed you are young and healthy, but once you go down to third then you start having issues" Me: *first fleet Theme Intensifies, while i sweat Profusely*

I am frightened by Yuna's skills, she is already much better than me and I have almost a thousand hours in World.

Didn’t realize this until today but I’m a first fleeter thanks to an old college roommate who got me hooked. I’m ANCIENT!

when gajin said "our jaws was like", i looked straight at his profile pic XD

Hearing about Yuna's journey has been so so enjoyable, thank you for sharing.

I can just imagine people putting up a quest for this in actual mh with how weird the reasons for the quests get lol. Quest name: A favor for a neighbor Quest info: we’ve decided to remake our house but we need some people with hammers to tear it down! (Must bring a hammer of any rarity)

I'm sure i speak for many (not all because we all know someone will disagree anyway) that Gaijin is a great father since being able to share your hobby with you child like that is the best way of parenting

I have so much reading for class but this is such a better use of my time.

The Pogikhan face is too hilarious to ever be forgotten

I guess these are the problems of getting older lmao. I hope gaijin gets a good health report also. Early on in my adulthood, I felt the same symptoms also. Panic attacks, the heart palpitations, and sudden weight loss. When I got it checked out, I was told I had an overactive thyroid. Ever since then, I have been going through general anxiety but never really as bad as before. I generally cope by listening to my favorite KZfaqrs like you guys.

Ayo guys, I'm not good at this "commenting video" stuffs :v but I've been following you both for a while, because, in addition to all MH related content, it helps me with listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. And as a Brazilian Additional Languages ​​student (English and Spanish) who will be a teacher in a few years, I just would like to say thank you for your recognition of all the hard work this profession requires. Keep doing your best, cheers. ^^

I can defintily relate to Gaijin Hunter whenever he talks about his Journey with Yuna. I played through GU with my GF recently as her first full MH experience. Whe we hit HR she wantred to try aerial Dual Blades (played ALchemy bow before that) and after we got her the HR Nargacuga armor we had basically no problems until G-Rank Mizutsune, wich we farmed as her next Armor. A few days ago we bet Mantis. I am actually proud of her doing pretty good and al that's really left before Rise is showing her the deviants :D

A few things to point out: 1: there might be a smaller scale rampage with weaker monsters as a sort of "practice round." 2: Utsuchi is literally wearing parts of Zinogre armor, and in one piece of art, hes carrying a mask that's just a stylized zinogre head. The conclusion is obvious: Lightning doggo is back, boys!

Gaijin and Ruri talking about colonoscopies had me bust out laughing at 3 am, I love you guys oh my god

Ah yes, my weekly dose. Thanks doc

Ah yes, our weekly dose of hear about Yuna kick butt.

Love this podcast, it's always the highlight of my week.

Health sounded like prep time for Thanksgiving or how you carve a monster when I jumped in without context mid stream. XD

As a teacher and as a MH player, it pleases me these two gentlemen are talking about education.

The talk about the health is pretty nice fellas. Hearing other people talk openly about anxiety is pretty relaxing cause I think we all go through it in one capacity or another. Anyway thanks for another good round of third fleet podcast you two!

I’ve didn’t really have a problem with the crafting armor in world expect for alateron & fatalis but when I got to genU my god is the grinding tough

Did I mention how much I *love* these podcasts!?! Please keep them coming!

About the special effects in MH movie. As a VFX artist myself, those were really weird and inconsistent Some stuff like the flare going though the Nerscylla webs and monster models looked great but the sand, the fake lightning, the green screens, and the 3D environment looked really strange The artists probably had a terrible time frame to deliver the effects and that's is what always causes most of the problems

THANK YOU guys for doing this!

I bought Stories 1 on 3DS and loving it! I really can't wait for Stories 2 now. I know it could have been cheaper on mobile but it's honestly worth it on 3DS for anyone willing to play it on 3DS

Yay a new episode! Just when I got some snacks and decided to take it easy this evening, you made it even better!

Love hearing about Yuna and her adventures in our beautiful universe.

It's been 7 mins so far and this episode gives me strong Resident Evil feelings.

man, only thing I dislike with the podcast is that I have to wait a week after every episode. absolutely love it probably my fav MH content, you guys are killing it.

My first what I call "fury drop" was the zinogre gem in 3U. I hunted that bastard 45 times.

I love fatalis, and I love everything about alatreon that isn't related to the element cap. I main hammer, so keeping constant element damage was a bitch for me. I ended up swapping to bow and using that to beat him.

I do enjoy listening to these, even if it's just you talking about Yuna's experience. It's pretty fun 👍 I've been playing since the first game (psp port) and now my wife got into MH with iceborne. She's really excited for Rise now and we can't wait to start the next game together! It's awesome playing with family or friends 😁

They have blessed us once again

13:05 Hunting Horn is one of the easiest weapons to just pick up and go in World because you don't have to learn combo paths or complicated mechanics at all. All you really need to know are what your 8 attacks are, the fact that you can chain them together in any order, and how to play music, and then you're off.

Damn. Yuna is turning into Gaijin Huntress now. So proud of you @gaijinhunter ❤❤💪

yeah i love the podcast as it is, you guys just talking naturally, even if its not about monster hunter. ive been saying it in every video but i hope you keep doing it

It’s official. Yuna has my full respect now.

Like many people I love hearing the stories of gaijin being able to share monster Hunter with his daughter. To a lot of gamers being able to share your favorite games with your children is it can be a huge chance for parental bonding.

Exactly what I needed.

This week's introduction was wild 😂

I've fought Khezu many times with background music, and the name of the music was Imagination

I still remember some of my early experiences in MH4U, with S&S being easy to pick up and just use but I didn't actually _like_ it ... but somewhere around Najarala and Rathian I picked up a Charge blade and could just _feel_ an intuition of "I know exactly how this thing works!" even though it was literally my first time with it. Stamina appreciation ... it's not just Bow, but Dual Blades and Hammer and Lance too. Any weapon that consumes stamina as a core part of its moveset makes you REALLY appreciate the other weapons that don't. I also love mining -- it's one of the few resource types you cannot use the "farm" for, and in older games it's a good source of RNG Charms. (MH3U had an achievement for mining and I hit that pretty quickly...) Alatreon ... I've only hunted it in Generations so far, but I still have mixed opinions. I hate Alatreon's design, but like Nergigante, that actual fight is awesome (especially with an agile weapon). Speaking of shared experiences, when the Switch launched and I picked up Breath of the Wild, I showed my mom how it opened and next thing you know ... I'm playing it while she's watching and we both enjoyed that very much. Oh, and did you _have_ to mention The Last Jedi? Now THAT's a den of scum and villainy I could argue a lot of points over. I still remember the first time seeing at the local theater, and taking away this vague underlying impression that something about it was _very wrong_ but I couldn't (yet) explain what or why. As for the MH film (nice segue btw), I've said it elsewhere and I'll repeat it here: it sounds like people criticize it not because Anderson got the series _totally_ wrong, he got it TONALLY wrong which is a far worse sin to commit. And it relates _directly_ to Star Wars ep.8 because, no matter the quality of production, if you are building a story around the wrong core idea then the problems are unfixable (without scrapping the project and starting anew, at a high cost of sunk time and money).

I’ve been under the impression that almudron was inspired in part by catfishes (with the whiskers and all that). Maybe that’s why the female armor is modeled after a cat. But that’s just a theory haha

Xeno and nergigante weapons both needed xeno horns and it was such a pain BUT then i discovered that clutch cannon works against xeno and it was smooth sailing from there on.

"THIS IS A BIG MOMENT" "its not gunlance" fucking gaijin is ruthless

There it is! Let's jump it:-)

I'm so thankful that the crazy armor and weapon designs are back. All the color is back in MoHun too.

Hi Ruri and Gaigin, if either of you see this. Regarding the mud monster being used to make metal looking armor sounds like the real art of dorodango, polishing mud or similar to the point it resembles billiard balls or the like. They put their good old Monster Hunter twist on it pushing it all the way to armor but it's not an entirely unheard of technique. Just a bit more real world influence that finds its way into the games that makes them so great.

I heard about arroz doce and my ears perked up immediately!

I think getting bored is just another part of monster hunter. For me personally, getting bored sometimes helps me get off the game much earlier which is probably good for my health. Plus, by the time I'm going to play the next day or so, I'm pumped up to hunt again :)

Me hearing that Yuna likes the alatreon hunt fighting wise: can i be your friend 👉👈

Wow that was my story with the weapons. Bow to horn and I've stayed on horn ever since

yayyyyyy just finished listening to the diablo podcast with arekkz :D

Ok sleep can wait I need to watch this. 🙂

22:16 I got beaten so badly by Iceborne Alatreon on my first attempt that I felt the need to begin a training arc to become a better hunter. I put on the Safi set to force myself to become more observant and aggressive and I was eventually able to solo both Alatreon and Fatalis. I definitely agree that overcoming these insane fights is about not getting discouraged too quickly; like, it’s only you’re first attempt, you can still get way better! The only part of this that I’m embarrassed about is the fact that I started with Tri. 😔

The first time I played monster hunter was when I was looking for 3ds games at gamestop and Mh4u was on sale so I bought it and its still probably my favorite monster hunter

You guys should add this podcast on iTunes or something. I would really love to listen to this while driving.

I did something similar that Yuna did with HH but with Luna/Teo quest. Was quite the rush XD

20:00 it's me!

Have to say that I have gone to the ER 3 times in the last couple months thinking I'm having a heart attack and gave myself anxiety attacks. As soon as I was done signing the dumb paper work my symptoms would go away. Got an egk, blood tests the works and was perfectly healthy. On anti anxiety now so it doesn't happen anymore. The weird part is I have never had that happen to me before it just all of a sudden happened a month or so ago. Really scary. Also maybe ask your doc if it's Gurds man its alot more common in younger people (under 40) than they thought and can cause a plethora of issues and is easily fixed with a laproscopic surgery. Stomach acid was basically melting my lungs. Felt like sharing because it sounds very similar to what I went through.

I watched the movie as well. No spoilers. If I wanted to sum it up in one referential statement, then I'd say it's the antithesis to the Witcher Quest in MHW. There was only one line in that movie that made me genuinely smile for a moment, and a few gags that managed to get a laugh from me. That's all the positive emotion this movie got from me. It's not even a so bad it's good movie.

All I want from the movie is for the ending credits to be over a quest complete sign

" it's not Gunlance xD" my little gunlace main heart hurts a little, but at this point im used to it.

Gaijin always sounds so nice

I’ve had a very similar experience that gaijin described with the heart palpitations. Only difference with me is that my anxiety would make my heart race to nearly 200 bpm.

Hey bro I know your a gunlance main and everything and you might know this fact already but I just found out last night that the fireworks barrels trigger the wyrmstake blast. May not be practical to use but it does work lol

I don't know if this topic has been suggested before, but I'd love to hear your ideas on possible Event/Crossover Quests. I always think of the Metroid one in GU, where you fight Yian Garuga as a reference to Ridley, and you get a Varia Suit Armor out of it. It could be any franchise and any whacky idea you guys could come up with

Agree with Gaijin's judgement of the Monster Hunter Movie 100%. I just watched it yesterday. I went in with minimal expectations; I assumed it would be a bad movie but, hopefully, amusing. However, it was terrible, absolutely terrible. It's like the director was still in the Resident Evil dimension when creating that film.

Horn is one of my favorite weapons, but song upkeep was hard sometimes but thats fine. I love the rework, but I miss the control scheme as well as the way moves in iceborne felt heavier and more calculated.

45:25 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Elden Ring Reference

You know what is a good monster Hunter movie experience ,that episode from the mandalorian: Season 2 Episode 1 Chapter 9: The Marshall

I just recently got Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure Pack and has song from MH4U and MHGU which got me pretty stoked.

"Everything is to balance the ecosystem" rajang mission description: princess that wants to make a purse of rajang skin xD

Man, that part about solo vs. multiplayer is so true. I did Alatreon solo because I wanted to proof to myself that I could do it. It was great when I finally killed him after several failed attempts, but playing solo gets boring very quickly and in the end my main motivation in MH isn't killing things fast or proving my (nonexistent) skills, I just want to help random people out and have fun with them. Heck, the sole reason why I even got into Monster Hunter is simply because it was the first game that I could actually play online with other people.

Ruri, have you tried using blue light blocking glasses? Its just a special coating on glasses that blocks out blue light from electronics and like monitors and stuff. I hope you get better man.. shield up 🛡️

In regards to there being no right way to get the win, big ups. It does help to solo a monster though in terms of learning it. Then again so does multiplayer. The use of the term “overpowered hunters” could use some discussion though. My idea of overpowered hunters have been sticky mains, cluster mains ( vanilla world ) and bow users. But when you see hunters ( sometimes even mr 999s ) drop into your hunt and beat the ever living crap out of the monster, it does not always mean they are overpowered. It sometimes means they have learned the monster moveset extensively and know where to hit it for the most damage. I notice that some players, when they see the 999s drop in and destroy a monster, it’s easy to dismiss what’s going on in there as “they have the best gear and spend their lives here” and that’s not always the case. Sometimes not only have they put a lot of time into the game but they also have an extremely good grasp of learning monsters, using i frames or offensive guard where appropriate and maximizing damage not just via skills like attack boost or agitator, but via positioning and setups ( like landing a heavy axe slam with swaxe on teostra’s head as it lands on the ground after its nova ).

I had tube down both at the same time and the stuff they give me knocked me out

13:01 when you see a noob master the Charge Blade instantly

I am a 4th Fleeter and a middle school math teacher out in a rural school in farm country.

Nice and early upload

1:04:58 when are we getting a full album of Rurikhan singing Monster Hunter music

Shields up!

1:01:50 VINDICATION! Been saying it was Almudron since the trailer dropped; frustrating that both Ruri and Gaijin immediately dismissed the possibility last stream.

13:02 RuriChamp

Hammer should win the poll! Bonk Bros let's goooooooo!

Greetings from Russia. What a great podcast guys! I enjoy it so much!

I've had both an endoscopy and colonoscopy, I hate the prep for the second one.

Heart palpitations and chest pain can also be caused by back pain and makes you believe its the heart. I got my back cracked nicely and the symptoms went away

I started with MH2nd, so that makes me a 2nd Fleeter huh? Man, some of my fondest gaming memories where the first time playing this game as a gunner, fighting a Bulldrome (which I hope is in Rise or future games) with 3 of my friends! I had never experienced anything quite as fun in multiplayer!

Gajin, if Yuna isn't happy with the Rise HH, you should give her a try of the Adept style HH in GU. It's 100% the exact same just without GU's recitle/encore animations. I was trying to explain to a friend why it felt really familiar to me and it's because I already play that way in GU.

Me and a friend made a list where we count the great spiritvein gems we get in the guding lands. In the time I got 13 he has gotten 31... But one time I got 3 of them in a row from shinies and also one time I got 6 from one Ode to the destruction quest. So I guess we both are lucky

Stay healthy Monster Hunter senpais!

While I like Alatreon a lot (probably my favorite fight in Iceborne), I still feel uneasy with him switching to his opposite element when you have no more horn to break, then killing you with his next EJ you cannot depower. Happens at 21 min mark. You kill him before or you cart. A dps check within a dps check. This is my only grip with Alatreon. When Alatreon was first released, Beotodus weapons were my only options due to not having the PS+ for Safi/Kulve and he killed me two times per run solely because of this. Rurikhan hates suggestion of nerf, but it would be more fair if breaking both horns prevents him from switching completely, or at the very least still giving you the possibility to stop the switching by reaching a threshold on the head after he has no more horn.

With world being my first MH game I enjoyed the concept of myself soloing each monster first as like a writ of passage sorta thing, at that point after ive beaten it solo I'm then allowed to hunt it for the first time in a group. The only monster throughout MHWI that I didn't solo first was Furious Rajang (and sieges obviously but they don't count) simply because I forgot completely about my that rule in the moment xD It shames me to this day that I failed to do it just once. That's just how I play others can do as they like! 😁 I'm torn as to weather that's how I'm gonna do it in Rise or if I'll switch it on it's head since Rise will be the first time I've had a full team of me + 3 friends to start the game off with.

Oh no... Yuna has defeated Fatalis while I haven't. I feel so incompetent now.
