Hunting Journal

First topic message reminder :

well, first day of hunting. got a lot done.

fought my way all the way to lagiacrus, on the port I just defeated rathian

Completed Longswords and Hammers for Artisan's Hammer. Now I'm finishing up Gunlances.

One HBG away from artisan's hammer, and one village Ala away from clearing all quests. That would leave just 2 awards left (crowns).

Almost have full Nether Blademaster set...almost. Just need one Zin. Sky Emerald for the arms.

I was able to stun lock Ceadeus with lv 3 and lv2 pierce ammo until I ran out. It looks like his HP won't go past a certain HP value in area 1-2 just like in Tri. This crap is really stupid. You could hear breaks and stuff, but only his beard was broken. I guess the only way to fight him is to break his beard before he reaches area 3, and then stop attacking since damage won't be added after a threshold has been accepted. Only until area 3 is attacking actually worthwile.

You can also break Ceadeus's tail during the "chase." Idk about the hood though

Exploiting Ceadeus' battle logic, I one hit killed Ceadeus by punching him in area 3. Turns out, his total health (Which is 14,000 in Tri iirc) reached the 2750 health threshold, which is the minimum health value in areas 1 and areas 2. In this game, the threshold is actually 1 hp. Once he reaches area 3, you can punch him and he dies in one hit.

Screw this logic; because of this, I can't even farm for horns because they can't break in areas 1 and 2, and he instantly dies in area 3. What the hell Capcom.

In last 24 hours: Finished the scavenger hunt of crap I needed to beat the "Sticky Situation" quest. Beat it. Am now farming Brachy to upgrade Gunlance and LS. Running low on Dash Extracts, need to restock.

I now have full Nether Blademaster armor set and it's really cool!

Maybe show a little restraint? :p

Just when you think you've seen it all:

Was farming gigginox, and was planning to cap. Gave Kayamba the Pitfall Mask, and had him set the trap. Gigginox's roar launched Kayamba out of the ground, leaving the trap behind!

Finally cleared village Ala (it wasn't pretty). Got my 10th HBG, only to find out event weapons don't count towards the artisan's hammer. So that's 3 more GS, another HH, 2 LS, 1 SNS, and 2 GL to make.

Down to 3 awards left to fill. Just learned about the monster size lock, so might be able to get some of those crowns by resetting when finding a gold or mini crown that I already have.

Don't forget that you can dupe the same weapon and it will count.

Does upgraded Alatreon weapons and Jhen Mohran weapons count as event weapons?

As far as i know, yes they do count because their base weapons can be forged from the village/port. You do need the DLC mats to upgrade but I'm sure they do count.

... So they count as Event weapons or weapons that can get you the Award?


Anyways, I just found out that Heat Cancel can cause the slime effect to not detonate by time. You just gotta be aware of Brachydios attacking you to finish the job.

700 hours played, not a single God's Archipelago or Handicraft+4 OOO.

Earned my Sage's Scroll without cheating ^_^. another Award bites the dust. 360hours of gameplay... going to try to earn the last few awards before I hit 400 hours. Big challenge... specially the crowns, since only got the silver big crown.

G Ala is out finally, OMG SOMEONE PLZ HOST FOR ME xDDD

I'm actually looking forward to getting on today and farming the crap outta him, been awhile since i was online so it should be fun. if anyone is looking forward to playing later (by later i mean in 9 hours when im off work lol) then send me a PM! I would prefer to play with forumers ^.^

Played some on my 3ds last night farming some high rank mats for my artisans award. damn that award..

Not able to play for about 2 weeks. Got on, and unlocked village brachy. WOHOO. Slim esword here i come.... then he stomped all over me..... 4 times.... wow.
 
I guess i need to upgrade before I take down brachy./versad/

Edit: Later that day:
Did not upgrade, couldnt decide on what monster to grind. So I just went at it again.
5th time, stilln no luck BUT! I got a rusted hammer (awesome) and a brachy gem from a sparkly left after a puddle /o_o/ /rock/
