There something called a "something" horn (it calls and/or scares stuff???), but its an item, not a weapon.
"Use it at your own risk. It may break." I think its a Hunting Horn.. I can't remember (I'm at work).

I'll be playing later tonight, but probably Offline. I gotta build up my Resource Points and the Forecast has played into it.

Now THAT'S a hunting horn!

@Xbob42

What the heck! That definitely wasn't in the Demo....
04/25/10, 03:05   
It's from the PSP/presumably PS2 versions. :( None of that good buffing stuff for MH3. :(
04/25/10, 03:08   
@Xbob42

Huh? What does that even mean? (ie "buffing") And theres plenty of good stuff in MH3..
04/25/10, 03:18   
Each hunting horn played different colored notes, you could work these notes to buff both you and your group. i.e. Playing 2 white notes would give both a speed increase and decrease the chances of your attacks being "broken" by monsters' hides.

Other combos increased resistances, granted temporary unlimited stamina, etc etc. It's a really diverse weapon, and it hits hard, but is very slow. Playing the notes during combat to refresh buffs that have fallen off could be tricky, as they take a while to play, and you move incredibly slowly - but it's a fun weapon, my favorite by far. Not a big "huge sword," fan, but I like gigantic weaponry. So MH3 will have to stay a giant hammer for me. :(

@Xbob42

Oh, a buff, of course. Haha, I don't know why that went over my head momentarily.

I fully know what that is. It wasn't clicking though. ..I can't explain... :(

Anyone playing this game going in "guns blazing" isn't doing it right and will die very quickly. Just sayin.
04/25/10, 05:29   
I followed your advice and played single player. You don't gave to wIt too long before you can upgrade your stuff

Sorry I have'nt been online (or offline) this weekend guys.. I want to add you guys ASAP so I don't have to type in your names in search mode every time..

I'ld like to do a couple more solo quests for a bit..and get a better feel for the armour/weapons.. Armour of 3 and a weapon that does 300+ damage doesn't seem to cut it online yet.... or maybe it's because I still stink at it

Any more Wii Speak issues? Marsh, it looks like I may win that ebay bid for my USB keyboard soon...I'll probably be using that before I dig into the voice thing.......As you said, it's probably more practical.
I went to my local Gamestop and they didn't carry a Wii Speak accessory by itself..only with Animal Crossing (Canadians never got the Ocean 2/bundle)- I don't take anything gamestop employees say seriously because I think they know way less then we do but apparently he doesn't think they are getting anymore Wii Speak only products..and that he would have to talk to his rep about it.. Possible discontinuation? Maybe a better product coming down the pipes? Who knows..

Smerd and everyone else. I went to walmart yesterday and bought a BRAND NEW logitech USB keyboard for $11.99. It works perfectly for the wii and monster hunter, the only downside is the chord is not that long but for 11 dollars that is okay.

i think I got the same one too years ago for Animal Crossing. never used it. wii speak is so much better. Especially whne you have angry monsters running after you... you seriously don't have time to put the remote aside and type. I don't understand why everyone here doesn't use wii speak. I have an extra one if anyone needs it

I just plug my PC keyboard in... but my Wii sits by my PC. :p

Edit:

ok I'm going to buy traps and tranquilizer bombs.

Ps. Do you create traps or just buy them?

How do traps work

fabz, if youre online id play with you, but im farming royal ludroth offline to get armor but if you wanna join up online and kill him i will

Kenny, sorry if I seemed unsociable, but I found out that you can't chat without a USB keyboard! The best you can do is edit the Shout-outs. Bleah. I think I'll grab a USB keyboard, so I can play with people who aren't using Wii Speak.

After you left, I started the Great Jaggi quest and Mr. Mustache didn't feel up to it, so I changed it to the Kalbi horn quest. But the region was 'unstable' and a Great Jaggi showed up, anyway. Exciting! We spent, like, 45 minutes (and I spent all my fricking ammo) fighting it before turning tail and limping back to base camp to turn in the Kalbi horns. WTF.

It's impressive how a game can be so tense (and frustrating), though. My armpits are still damp.

You can chat without a keyboard, just press minus and then minus again (classic controller 1 setup).

that's ok. I ended up leaving the house at midnight. Went to the casino and had a good night. I'll be home by 4 am (central) but I'm not sure if I will play tonight. My next meeting is on Monday so I had the weekend off. I really need to get my ass back to LA.
