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.

Is it like the Caedeus run? If you repel him on the first run then immediately go back for a second, he's weakened and in the third area...

@ludist210
I think the explosions do a tiny amount of damage, if any, but they're good for disrupting large monsters and throwing small monsters out of the way. Even when Cha-Cha is angry and using large barrel bombs, an explosion right next to a high-rank small monster won't kill it and it'll still take just about the normal amount of arrow volleys for me to kill it.

Has anyone tried the Slagtoth set? It's just the head and chest, but it gives you WaterAtk+10 and WaterRes+10. I matched it with Ludroth S Arms, Bottoms, and Feet to boost that WaterAtk up to 15 and gemmed for Marathon Runner.

@ludist210
And a short cut opens up to take you right to him from the land. The shortcut is blocked if he's in Area 1.

@ludist210

Cap him, duuude!

@TheOldManFromZelda

Wow, they put that in there? Nasty. I think you're leagues ahead of me offline.

@Dark Weres

DW, are you heading Online at all in the near future? You talk about the game a lot (and are very knowledgeable), but we know nothing about your Online persona. Have you been?

Slagoth stuff, no, I haven't. I build very selectively (money is tiiiight), and I'm not mixing and matching right now. In what scenario do you use that? Seems like if you want Water Resistance as a Skill, you're probably not going to be using a Water WEAPON to fight..right?

@Mr_Mustache

I don't think he was ready for a cap. I suppose I could have tried...I took four traps with me (one shock, one pit, components for two more pits) but forgot tranqs. It's cool, I didn't save so I lost nothing.
05/22/13, 00:54   
@ludist210

You said he limped away though, yes? I think "thats it." Curtain call, mann!

--No save? You reset it? Yowza.. I don't know if I've ever done that in MH.
We HAVE Abandoned a few times, which is the equivalent of resetting, I guess.

--Is it possible to make Tranq Bombs on the fly? You'd need to find..Sleep Herb, Parashroom, Ivy, and Iron Ore?, all in one place, right? Gosh, seems awfully hard. I was trying to do a makeshift Harpoon the other day and kept missing a component.
05/22/13, 00:59   
Alright, so I'm about 3 hours out from some Monster Hunter goodness.

Is..nobody going to be around? These Tuesday nights are becoming depressing.
05/22/13, 03:04   
I guess I'll take my time getting home..
05/22/13, 05:27   
I've been checking my friends list, but saw no one on. Tuesdays are a bit of a hit or miss for me in general though.
05/22/13, 06:03   
Took down the Ivory Lagi myself...err, trapped him. Carved his tail and got a Lagi Plate (finally), and broke his face for one of the horns that I needed. Still need one more and a Caedeus Tail...

@ludist210

I'm there now and both of you are on the Internet Browser!

Time shows 11:46 at time of posting. I'm heading to bed around 12ish, up at 4:30. Weekdays are normally tough due to my work schedule. 6am m-f. @_@

@Cryojin

Yeah, I "logged on" around 11:30 and just sat here. Then I hopped on.

As you can see, thread was pretty quiet all day. Usually I'm home before 11 but.."whats the rush?"

Hopefully we can get on a better schedule / rhythm very soon. All's quiet online..

EDIT- Heading to the Woods for 2 days. If someone miraculously comes on, I hope a posting here reflects it.

Playing on weeknights is hard. I can't get on until 8:00 p.m. or later (my time), and I have to be up on weekdays at 5:00 a.m. I was just killing time last night waiting for the basketball game to end. I was too tired to make any coherent runs.

Anyway, I GOT A LAGI PLATE and an Ivory Lagi Horn+ (still need one more).

@MrMustache

Yeah, it's a normal quest now in the upper ranks. BUT! You do need to harvest materials to build the Dragonship. So, you may not be able to do it right way. I was lucky enough to have all the resources needed to build it. It's so difficult... I may not try again until I get a more powerful weapon and much better armor. As I played through the fight, I realized I forgot a bunch of stuff I would have normally brought, like BOMBS. Ah well.

@ludist210

I'm with LUDAAAAA on this one. Work normal hours, Rob!!!

The summer will be easier for me to play with you, but while school's in, I just can't stay up that late.

Tried Ivory Lagiacrus again by myself, but I lacked demondrugs and armorskins, so fell flat towards the end of the fight. Buuuuuuuuut I did get his tail and carved a second Lagiacrus Plate. I went so many hunts between Plates, and now got them on back to back hunts. Go figure.
05/22/13, 20:57   
Last night was laaame. Ran some Woods runs. Blech. Did some more today.
Barroth in the Woods: I thought I'd never live to see the day.

@TheOldManFromZelda
@Mr_Mustache

When is school out? And how is Friday? I might be able to get some in this week, gotta see what Nikki wants to do though. We'll probably go out. How late are you guys up on Friday?

Sunday will probably be a no-go.

@ludist210

Shtuff happens!
05/22/13, 23:57   
@Mr_Mustache

I can stay up late on Friday. Here's my NNID, hunt with me maybe?
05/23/13, 00:06   
@ludist210

Whaa-- ..Is that a Call Me Maybe thing?

WHAT. THE. FUDGE.

Anand has once again fallen asleep mid-Quest in Monster Hunter.

Oh, Paw Passes..
05/23/13, 09:40   
Did some Ivory Lagi runs with randoms last night...killed six, got six horns (and a plate, some Shell Shocker+, etc). Fun times. Crafted my Bolt Axe+, then immediately upgraded to a High Bolt Axe. Soon I'll be able to upgrade that...

I've got enough Ivory Lagi stuff to forge most of its armor, but I need a few other random monster components. I'll figure up what I need and possibly go on runs this weekend for them.

EDIT: AAAAAAAND I need a Caedeus Tail to forge the Great Incaedeus (1058 Power, 170 Water Damage, and a Power Phial to boot). That will take the place of my Dios Axe (for now) once I forge it (unless the monsters I fight have high water resistance).
