Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U

Welcome to the official discussion thread for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
And here we are.


THE WORLD AS YOU KNEW IT CHANGED ON MARCH 19TH

Game IS NOT Region Locked: NA + SA CAN PLAY with Europe + Australia + Africa(?)

Sorry,
Asia!


*THE DEMO IS A DEMON, JUST GET THE GAME!!*




Welcome to the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate thread! This will be our headquarters for coordinating our Hunts, sharing stories of war, and helpful hints for our brothers-in-arms, compatriots, friends, and neighbors. Please be mindful of folks' different definitions of "spoilers," and remember that not EVERYBODY played Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, though everybody totally should've.


The "burden" of running this thread has been placed upon me but...I can't do it alone. I will lean on Maxi and others to help with the heavy lifting occasionally, both in planning things and also in feeding this thread. Please keep it bumped (once we get going). If you could, let us know if you're getting this game, WHEN you're getting this game, and what your aspirations are so we can get us situated in groups with likeminded people. Do you want to barely play this game? Is this going to be your new #1? The most fun with this game is had when you get to go out with a group of guys week in week out, so if we can find someone with a schedule similar to yours, you'll have the most fun with it.

It was just Cryo and I. I was the only one to bring Cha Cha as well. So, it was really just 2 1/2 people fighting. My Cha Cha was also only equipped with the Mylynx mask, which i couldn't really change, which is a tough mask to have on in a fight like that. On the plus side, Cha Cha did get some good items from him.

@TheOldManFromZelda

You know, I didn't even talk to ChaCha after that fight...I need to boot up and do that.

It seems like the obvious skills to put on a Felyne Mask are "Bombadier" and "Slime Attack"

Also, "Secret Areas". I've discovered two of them so far, both by starting quests in high-rank. Is there any way to get to these secret areas by any reliable means other than "Felyne Explorer", or are they all exit only?

@ludist210

I'll do anything with anyone. I'm an MHS.

@Luther

Wahoo! When are we partying?

@CPA Wei

Welcome to the rat race. What is your Hunter's name? BigDaddyWei?

@ludist210

We didn't bust up his Back all the way either. Too high!

@TheOldManFromZelda

Ugh, did you go on last night after I talked to you?! I stalked out my friends list late last night and saw that you were on 2 hours prior. Booooo!

@Dark Weres

I just did the Bombardier ability. I had Speedy Recovery on both of them forever. So nice!

Pretty sure the ONLY way you can get into those Hidden areas are 1) Explorer and 2) Dumb Luck (not a Food Skill..).

@Mr_Mustache

Did we not? I thought you got the Shell Shocker+ that you needed...sorry, I tried. His shell was too tough for my axe, and my bombing skills (or lack thereof) aren't good. I'm a champ at chopping bombs once they're set though!

@Dark Weres

Slime attack, huh? Would that be the equivalent of my Dios Axe (220 Slime)?
05/20/13, 23:33   
Edited: 05/20/13, 23:34
@ludist210

I did, but I don't think it is REQUIRED that you bust up his back for that. His back looked like rigid bone spires!

Man, don't apologize! Its fine! I feel worse about you not getting your Horns that you needed.

--All of my weapon branches are beyond Rare3 with the exception of my Ancient sword that I found (and have been working on). I need a Rath Medulla (total of THREE) to springboard to the next tier. Pretty "expensive" in terms of materials, 2 ElderDragonbloods required, too (grabbed my 2nd one last night). And a Rathalos Ruby, I think (found an extra one instead of a Medulla last night). Egad.

I've got a Lagi in the Woods up "today," so that'll be my next mission out. I'll do some Rathalos Capture missions when I can soon.

@Mr_Mustache

We'll just hope to go in with more people. More people = more traps, so more opportunities to bust his head up. That or else we can hope that my combinations don't yield Garbage before we go in for the capture. I bet if we would have caught him that we would have gotten the horns that I needed...
05/21/13, 00:23   
@ludist210

Eh, we got his head pretty good. Those bombs do the trick. I've got Bombardier on Cha-Cha now, too. Big Bombs for all! Also, more people = the "pot" being split more ways, yes? I know we take a hit on the money already, but losing out on Items (ie: if 2 Horns are broken, only 2 can be awarded, right?) seems no good.

--You should get awesome Guild Armor! Anand was confused/shocked? to learn that I was able to craft my super hard Hidden Edge in two Colorful Beasts and just 1 Naracuga mission, and the Plesioth SET in just TWO Quest appearances (not including when he photobombed our Gobul+ mission). I guess I'm routinely getting better pulls than all of you guys, surprised I'm the only one who ever endeavored. Really didn't take that long either!
05/21/13, 00:27   
@Mr_Mustache

How do I get the Red Mage costume...err, Guild Armor set again? I barely have any coins...
05/21/13, 00:34   
@ludist210

You get it with Coins. Lots and lots of Coins. (I think you need -- in total -- 20 Beast Coins, 15 Flying Coins, 10 Leviathan Coins, or something. If you want to skip the last piece -- and shrink your Coin needage to 16/12/8 -- you can use another "Torso Up" Leg Piece.)

And I think you need a few Volvi Rickrack (the last parts I needed), as well as something monster-specific for the other pieces. As I said before though, I HAD everything else I needed through normal stuff. I had to actually seek out the Volvidon pieces though.

Probably won't be too long before we can get the "Red Mage"+ set. Perhaps we can work on those together?
05/21/13, 00:41   
@Mr_Mustache

We'll count on doing that. My Lagi set gets the job done (more or less) for now. I'd love to eventually craft an Ivory Lagi set...that would be sweet.
05/21/13, 00:43   
@ludist210

When are you on again at length? My Sunday is pretty busy this coming week (baseball game followed by AWESOME 600-MILE NASCAR RACE). No chance at tonight / tomorrow? Maybe we can do another lunchtime jamboree. Talk to me, dude!

EDIT- My next mission for me MUST be a Woods run, and for a long time (if you're looking at tonight). I am low on resource points, resources, and I have no Rare Commodities right now. Blech.

Edited: 05/21/13, 00:45
Alright, no MH for me tonight.

Hopefully I'll see some of ya dudes tomorrow night, woo.
05/21/13, 03:29   
i was only on last night to transfer files to the 3ds. i might be on tomorrow night, but it's my wife's birthday, so don't count on it.
05/21/13, 04:30   
@TheOldManFromZelda

H-hey, tell her Happy Birthday.
05/21/13, 13:14   
Hmm, weeknights are tough. I could take another late lunch and we could try again sometime. I may be on some this weekend since we have Monday off.

Anyway, tried to solo the Ivory Lagi last night. Got careless at the start of the fight and fainted twice early, but got him to limp into Area 9 (lobbed off his tail, tore up his chest, and broke both horns) before I ran out of all healing items.

@ludist210

Nice! How was your haul? Did you get everything?

--Complete Guild+ / "Red Mage+" set requirements:
10 Pinnacle
8 Flying
7 Leviathan
6 Beast
6 Piscine
10 Commendations


I can help you with most of these, but you're on the hook for your own Beast and Piscine coins as they are Single Player Quests. Commendations are also gonna be a while.. I think you only get 'em from Deviljho or something else completely nasty. I have 3..

@CPA Wei

Ooh!
05/21/13, 20:45   
@Mr_Mustache

No, I fainted a third time...had him on the ropes, but couldn't make the kill.
05/21/13, 21:06   
OH!

I tried the single player Jhen Mohran fight, and man, I was very rusty. Even with 3 successful Dragonator hits, my dragonship got crushed with about 2 minutes left, and I failed. I managed to break all the breakable parts too, so I guess I was destined for the path of 'repel' rather than 'slay'. Oh well, a whole half hour wasted.

On a side note, is it possible to run out of cannonballs on the ship? That happened at one point, which i found baffling. I really had no strong projectile weapon, besides the ballista ammo.
