The Question Hotline

First topic message reminder :

ceadeus tail.... been farming for them and only got two (from the repel only quest)

in the decisive battle, I've broken his tail numerous times and never got a tail.... (do i actually have to go to the tail and carve????)

(got deep dragon gem almost very time..... and 2 elderdragon blood in one run too...)

or does the repel only quest (save moga village) have a higher drop rate???

MAJOR BAD LUCK?

is the aquamatic longshot better for clusting than the agna/los+/agna gun?

Longshot is a worthless gun for serious clusting. While it rapidfires clust 1, that'll make you have recoil (bad), it can't load much (bad), and you can not nearly load enough shot to kill the one monster where clust is usefull against (Ze alatrollon).

For clusting, you'll wanna use clust lvl 2. These aren't the best (lvl 3), but you can fire 55 of them during a hunt, compared to the 15 or so lvl 1 and 3 have. Loading 5 of them would be ideal, because that's the max you can have. This can be achieved by using Los+/Los+/Agna. Then use barrage earring and jhen+/gaan+ to get:
Recoil down+3/Load up/clust all up.

This is the only good way to go about clusting.
Longshot is nice for trolling and having lulz, but it's just not usable as a serious weapon. And don't ever try to suggest using it for clusting ala. Its just....really really really awfull for that.

In Online I see people leave a city instantly. Aside "warp to friend" and "leave to Title/Start/Mode" how do you do this? Or how do you instantly warp from a City to the Gate or Server selection?

they might have just disconnected, or turned off their wii, aside from that, you just go to where you enter the city, and there will be an option to switch cities, once you leave the city, and go to the gate , you can choose a new city. thats the same for gates too, you can just go to the gate entrance and switch gates

Do a gate search, pick someone at random, warp to them.

Yeah, dat.

But no, aside from warping or quitting, you'll have to walk, sadly. It might happen that there's some lagg, and that the person will have walked to the next city area by the time you check....but that's kinda unlikely.

even though you'd be near the gate so you can get out as soon as you see what's in front of you XD

how much status damage do knives do, and also lv1 and 2 shots

I've asked about regular damage for knives before, but was never able to get confirmation. The status damage might be the amount a regular status shot does (lvl 1: 25, lvl 2: 50).

It's not super duper bad, but it just doesn't have a good use. You'll want recoil+3 for clusting, which will only be good for ala. Crag is essentially not a usable shot, at least not a main shot type. So it's not horrible, but i don't know which monster you'd wanna use it for.

well i dont know if specific shots have specific uses for monsters because im no bowgun expert, but the needler barrel rapid fires clust, and it's possible to get KO's from them. otherwise, if there'e an explosion, i assume it does a lot of damage.
even if its not that good, i love explosions

It won't do high damage. Needler barrel rapidfires crag, which is kinda good, but you won't have enough ammo to last through half of a fight. Clust is rapidfired by the "aquamatic longshot", which isn't a serious weapon either.

Anyhow, i love explosions too :D. And sorta usable in low rank/offline. Or to troll people /no/.

whoops, yeah i kinda mixed up clust and crag there.
anyways, i think ill just use it as an endgame explosion set

an offline barioth has 2400-3600 hp
if your bowgun does 223-333 damage. if 334+ add 1 per shot
max crag you can carry is 9+ mats to make 10 more.
crag 3, shot to the head does 63 damage.
crag 2, 45 damage. 47
crag 1, 30 damage 32
total = 2698 damage

online, high rank barioth has 6520hp minimum.
if you bowgun does 297+ damage... if 444+ add 1 per shot. if below 297 subtract 1 per shot.
crag 3 headshot is 47
crag 2 headshot is 35
crag 1 headshot is 24
2014 damage from those crags.


Unless my math went wrong....

wow, thanks for taking the time to do the math, when i'd be too lazy to.
so i guess crag isnt entirely useless, and it might even be useful.
(currently u r 1 post away from becoming a cephalos!!!!)

waitwhat? my post was supposed to talk you out of using crag shot lol. You might fire some off for novelty, but they aren't going to be your bread and butter.

Also, looking at the mats, you actually can't make 19 each because crag 1&2 use same fish So shave 320 damage off the offline number and 240 off the online number.

i hope you know it's not my main shot, just a shot my gun happens to be good at

lol, i dunno, never saw him gun before
anyways, with crag and clust and 2 bombs i killed an offline gobul with no extra mats and half my ammo remaining for both shots

What's the rhythm for repel and slaying Ceadeus? I know that some timing is required to get the best out of your items and not waste the credits by choosing repel/slay, but I forget what.

Basically, there's 2,5 ways:

1. You kill Ceadeus as fast as possible. Rinse and repeat, like normal.

2. You fight Ceadeus untill you are sure he's nearly dead. Then you go back to camp, go do something else (visit forum /yes/). You'll get some rewards, then you go to the quest again, kill him quickly and gather rewards. Rinse and Repeat.

2,5. You do 2, but you aim to nearly Kill ceadeus. The closer to death, the better. You save. Do the quest again, and see if you get a Deep Dragongem. If you don't, reboot wii immediately. Now you don't have anything, but you can kill Ceadeus quickly again, without the need to fight (much). Rinse and repeat untill you get a Deep Dragongem.


This is really all there is, unless you wanna know what the best way is to get him dead/nearly dead as fast as possible.

What the button combination to draw and automatically load a Bow Gun? Or is that not a valid move?

On CC, it's X+A, or Fire+reload. The latter should work on the wiimote controls, i guess.

Correction it is X+A+R. Since R is run--and always pressed--I can see how it might be overlooked.

My HR stops at 17 and says im not elidgeible(<- bad spelling lol) to get to 18. This is not ok with me. Why does it do this?!

you're lacking your urgent quest which at your hr should be a hunt lagiacrux quest

you should already have this urgent quest up and you can choose it from the very bottom scroll of your quest selection screen.

if not you're lacking a few key quests that you must complete for your 2 star quests

which are...... (can't remember the name so i'll be brief on what you must do)

- altaroth hunt (Bug Hunt i think....)
- bnahabra hunt
- gobul hunt (Scene of Crime i think.....)
- rathian hunt
- great baggi capture

check and see if you have the above 5 done, if not do them XD

and good luck!
