Beat Niblesnarf... of course that was after dying to Duromdaros?sp? six times. He really is a brute.
Finally beat him after I took the time to creat a full barroth set and upgraded my GS to Ravager.

I still haven't fought Niblesnarf yet lol, I went for Volvidon instead.

(It's Duramboros for future reference.)

duramboros, yeah he upset me good, so his name can get drug through mud  
I still have yet to try Volvidon.
Niblesnarf was fun, I kept having these "action movie" moments as he rushed me tryign to eat me and I dive/roll out of the way.

I actually found Duramboros really easy because he was so slow, but on the downside I didn't break anything at all.

Vovidon is kind of annoying, but not that hard overall. He's similar to Arzuros and Lagombi (moreso Lagombi), but you gotta watch out for the Stench status.

yup just beat volvidon in 8min 53 seconds. Reidiculously easy, although does he EVER stop raging?!

Today I took a break from earth crystal farming and started working on my GS set that I got from PAiN. Crit Draw, Sharp +1, Focus, and Rock Steady. I just need 3 more Mohran Shards and I'm done. I can't wait to start great swording a lot more.

Been working on my Artisan's Hammer award, finished my Great Swords, and Long Swords. Found an awesome room last night doing Dragon S runs. We also did some other speed runs. It was cool to find some random people out there that knew what they were doing xD Also did some fun hunts with Chagrilled and Fueee, will upload some videos this week hopefully.

Should of put this a month ago,but I finally defeated the dire miralis.Took me four tries.
All 3 tries were all failures because of time limit,but the the successful one had ten minutes remaining.If I want to get all the G-rank blademaster armor,I have to farm this guy,but i'm still not conifdent to do so,but oh well.I'll do it when the time comes.

Purple Name, All quests with gold checkmarks. 7 Awards to go.

God's Archipelago LBG is awesome with Bonus Shot + Bombadier and Recoil down. KO monsters + ample damage from well placed Rapid Clusters. ^_^ Fun Fun!

Should have gone gunner AGES ago... but on the plus side, I am now proficient in many weapons due to holding out. Going for Blacksmith award ... G-Ceadeus farming for money, since I have almost all the mats I need for the weapons, and already have more than 5 full G Rank Sets.

Completed more quests today, and I surprisingly got 2 blos hardhorns within an hour. I want to get more familiar with gunning, so I'm starting that.

Upgraded Cera Cigil to Cera Cymmetry
Forged Vinrar Heavy Rifle

Soloed all remaining key quests of hr6. Nibelsnarf is my last target in hr6, and then onward to hr7!
Also got the ancient gunlance and helped my brother get into G rank.
Admiral's arbalance with awakening so far destroys everything. Reaver calamity owns rathian.

Figured I could do a lot of hunting yesterday running on almost no sleep..negative. Bari trolled the crap out of me. Got what I needed though xD

Today's hunting was... okay. The only real fun part of it was hunting with PAiN and Red. Oh and getting into H. Bowgunning. I still need a set for L. Gunning though. I also came across a very obvious leech. While we hunted he stood in another area doing nothing. Then when I called him out for leeching he left.

Zinogre=Easy fight.


Super S.Zinogre=Easiest super monster ever.
Jeez that was such an easy kill..

Just defeated Dire Miralis and joined the end game tier!

Blitzed through HR 3 and 4 last night; stopping to help some other guys out with their I.Lagi urgents. Nothing special of note until I hit G-Rank...

Got another 30 or so friend requests from people that want me to host G ala for then =/

Not sure if boss, or being sarcastic. You soloed the event Stygian Zinogre? If not, then this was easy for your group.

Different groups can make fights easy or hard, depending on how good the individuals are, and how well their weapon types mesh together. Personally, went to several hunts for the event Zynogre and wasn't able to complete it. Not due to any deaths through me (although I did die once while using my gunner set, while being -35 to dragon on a OHKO, on my very first try), but mainly due to group members dying, and in one group, same person triple carting 30+ mins into the fight.

I haven't tried to solo it, but being that some groups took 30 mins fighting it, and didn't kill it, I doubt I would be able to reliably dish out the damage in 50 minutes needed to take it down.

But hey... if you just want to show off how "1337" you are on an obviously hard event fight, be my guest, but I found Deviljho in the buff much easier, and yes, I did solo him.

Deviljho in the Buff is such a nerfed deviljho, it still takes 3 attacks to kill you with no armor, that deviljho is just a sad deviljho. In the good ol' days of tri, a deviljho could kill you while walking if you had no armor or at least take a good bunch of your healt

Yes... hence me saying it was "easier" than the event Zynogre.

happened to enter Vortiene's city yesterday, so was good to meet another forum member, though they do talk a lot, lol.

just did some random hunting though i did get to clear off another quest, must be very close to having them all marked, having to keep waiting for the last few to appear on the list.

Yeah, I was just telling my toughts on the event, sorry if it sounded like an attack or anything n_n'

Provided example aside, I duo'd super stygian. I simply found him much MUCH easier than the other super monsters already around.

I only said that stuff in my previous post because the regular Zinogre is a chump, you can avoid his attacks SO easily.... Stygian in hyper mode won't do anything if he can't hit you. XD

Oh, and the quest duo'd took a little over 15 minutes (captured).

Finally made it to Ceadeus Urgent, very nitpicky whilst farming for tons of weapons and armor to progress the quests. Let's hope this goes well today!
