It's... It's... THE TIGREX!!!!

EDIT: Killed the Tigrex, went pretty smoothly, but I used up a bunch of resources and due to Giaprey, almost died trying to capture him.

Now, I've used my Sonic bow I for a while now, and it hasn't failed me.

I believe the Tigrex is weak to thunder, I have full Kut-Ku D armour (with upgrades, I have 99 defense), max coatings, max mats for coatings.

I have 10 mega potions (just in case I take MAJOR damage) and 10 potions + 3 meds from the item box... (and 10 herbs to be EXTRA safe)

4 well-done steaks, 4 hot drinks, 5 nutrients.

1 shock trap, 2 genprey fangs, 2 trap tools.

And once I paralize him, I'm bombing him with barrel bombs.

The question is: am I ready?

You're pretty good. Prepare to take major damage. And remember not to get over confident with him especially when he is in rage mode...

How do I make shock traps? I thought it was thunderbug + trap tool but that doesn't work.

you can either buy them with the granny who is outside the guild hall or genprey fang+ trap tool

Guess I've been playing tri too much.

Well I wouldn't know because I use LS but if you wanted to LS him I would reccomend using a armor that gives over 30 armor per piece and gem it so it has quick sharpening. Then I would recommend using eager cleaver for your weapon. When you are in area 8 get him to charge into the mountain so he gets stuck and then cut off the tail. After the tail just dodge almost everything until you are sure you won't get hurt. If you are not good at LS than pretty much ignore this post. The items your using are fine but you should bring shock traps.

you should be ready to face a tigrex but you will need some flash bombs if you can make them, to combine they are flashbugs and bomb casing. also be sure to bring blue mushrooms to commbine with those herbs. and if you can, like i say in almost every other post, bring some gunpowder and large barrels! :D

I've tried the Tigrex Training with the Bow. Don't you dare attack him in Rage Mode /no/
I would suggest saving the bombs for when he's sleeping in area 3, and blow up the LARGE Barrel Bombs in his face, not the small one. If you put the small bomb inside the large ones, the small one will hit Tigrex first and will recieve the damage boost instead of the two LBB. Either shoot the bow near the barrels without hitting Tigrex or make the SBB only hit the LBB. Oh, and do what ScienceJesus said. Flashbombing is great for gunners, despite being frowned upon.

K, this is what I will try to bring.

3 LBB, 5 large barrels, 5 gunpowder.

Couple of SBBS.

10 herbs, 10 blue mushrooms, 10 potions, 4 honey (all I have), 10 mega potion.

Some steaks.

Paralysis, power, and close rnge coatings.

99 empty bottles, 20 nitroshroom, 10 knife mackeral (not bothering with more paralysis coatings).

1 shock trap, 2 genprey fang, 2 trap tool.

4 combo books (I bring them everywhere anyway).

I'm actually kind of AGAINST bringing my felyne, even though it's 'balanced', he still likes to use bombs a lot, and with a monster as fast as Tigrex, I don't want him throwing bombs where the Tigrex LAST was, I'm making him to Meditation in training, hoping that it will improve his accuracy with bombs, ain't working.

5 hot drinks, of course.

POSSIBLY tranq bombs, if I can't manage to kill him/can't be bothered.

Not going to bother with paintballs, considering I KNOW he will flit between 8 and 6 until he's weak then fly off to 3 (plus I don't have inventory space xD).

5 nutrients.

And of course, the gunner set mentioned in OP post.

AM I READY?

Great Sword owns Tigrex, if you know how to do it, it's border line unfair.

Your body is ready.

:hicc:

you are not going to know untill you try. good luck

PD: after seeing all your posts I started again and I was on the tigrex part too, killed it with the lightning LS, It drained all my pots since I am a lil rusty with tigrex but it turned out fine, having so many healing items helps a lot
