Monster Hunter Cheats & Tips

O.K. to carve from Vespoid/Hornetaur YOU ONLY NEED A BOWGUN THAT SHOOTS POISON LV.1! Shoot it once 'n' watch it fall on the floor as it dies. I like to kill 1 Vespoid for every time another one gets in my way or stings me when I'm fighting any wyvern. Aaaaah....sweet stress relief.

O.K. so everyone knows how to track Cephalos, right? You follow one untill it stops and wait where it stops 'till another one shows up, right? WRONG!!! If you look carefully, you should see that every Cephalos swims following the same circle, just in different directions. BUT they ALWAYS swim 3/4 of the way round, then stop. When they stop, run to the point 1/4 before it on the circle. Wait 'till it comes, throw a Sonic Bomb, and you have one Cehphalos, flopping about under the desert sun.

First you need a Strong Bowgun and Normal Shot II. Go out to the Cephalos territory. Stand on top on their swimming path and take a few steps to the side so you're not standing on their fins or wings. Pull out your Bowgun. 1st Person aim, and look for one that's coming towards you and shoot it before it passes. Use Normal ammo and unload a clip on them as fast as possible and before you reload, be ready to dodge their sand spit, reload and unload another clip on them if they didnt go under yet. Repeat this, eventually they all die and you get better at it with more practice.

I will be making more of Monster Tips!

Well... having trouble with your first real wyvren that you have to kill?

well look no further. I just about beet it.
But you got to be sneeky, its not a nice approch.
This is what your gonna need;

ITEMS:
1. get all the large barrel bombs that you can carry.
2. plus, all the small barrel bombs that you get carry.
3.your gonna need the right armor, i recomend full hunter (swordsman).
4.the right wepon is the slow but awsomly powerfull great bone sword+.

5. now... your traps, bring two... or more, pit fall traps.
6.also get about 3 raw meat. used for luring.
7.and bring all the paint balls you need but if youve got a good aim then just bring one.

well... i gave you your items list.

Now... here is what you do. you know that guy that did 'down and out for the yoin-kut-ku' and
'easy money for new players with no life taken away'.

well he is back!! ME! and he's compleated the game 5 times.!.

well. asoon as you see the yoin-kut-ku, through they paint ball at it, and then set up your large barrel bombs and then put up a small barrel bomb and LEG IT!!!! 8D. you should here a big !BANG! But then do that again. and again. untill your out of bombs. eventuly he should flop down. This is your chance to eather attak or move in and set up a pitfall trap. if you set up the pitfall trap, drop a big hunk of raw meat down infrount of it. So you should see this.

1.) you
2.) a hunk of raw meat
3.) a parsherly covered pitfall trap.
4.) yoin-kut-ku

just stand there. Stand your ground. stay put.
even if it doesn't want you, it gets incoureged by the raw meat. If it charges then just stand still it cant get you. nomatter what, it'll just get stuck in the pit fall trap. Then whak it to death. it wont kill it but it'll get it limping.

then get another pit fall trap, make it fall in.
whak it. same thing. But now it should fly away because it's really hurt, as in allmoast dead hurt. it wont hurt to acctully bring 3 pitfall traps, i did. because when i used the last pitfall trap, it was, er.......... splat, nada, no more, dead, dito, killed.

so there you go. The music and the 'mission compleated' 'all requested monsters killed' reward screen, get your zs, ( 950z ), get your reward items and there you go!!

there. the yoin-kut-ku is really down and out now.

e-mail ben@paradise-lane.co.uk if you need anymore help with any other quests. ( ive done all of the offline quests and just got about 5 more of the online quests to do. )

bye bye and happy hunting.

To get dragonite very quick very simple and very easy instead of haveing to kill gravious and swap its carapace in the swamp you can do extreamly easy 4 star quests making sure you have a pickaxe handy and while on a EASY quest you can get what is needed then take 5-10 mins to mine and usually you will get at least 1-4 Dragonite 1-12 earth crystals 1-15 iron ore 1-6 Mach ore its so simple try it
p.s
(Try using collect 12 kelbi horn quest it easy and if you have kelbi lyeing around bring 12 so you can spend all your time mining have fun good luck and see you all online cause i have the game this method does work i do it all the time you have to be HR 13 though...)

Yes they are threatnig but I have found out that barrel bombs are the way to go! Step1.Throw Flash bomb. 2,set trap =put down barrel bombs. step 3 do the same thing over and and over again then BINGO!!! Plus dont hit the scales its a waste only the uppercut on gs s&s and lance Gunners I HATE THOSE BOWGUNS!

Get a good weapon(I use a hammer)and get the all the flash bombs in the item box (bring if needed). Go to area 1, then 2, then 3 , the velicadrome should be there. Throw a flash bomb and start attacking + using the sm barrell bombs on him . Don't worry if he's not confused. Throw flash bombs only when the others aren't dazed. Repeat this and you should be happy

need some extra cash? this is most effective for beginners:

1) Do the "Preparing Meat" quest on 1 star

2) Collect as many Well-Done steaks as possible

3) Deliver the steak, get your prizes, and go to the lady at the stand, you can sell your Well-Done steaks for 48 a pop! you can also sell your prizes, the small animal bones are worth 10 a piece

4) Repeat steps 1-3 for as long as you can stand it, you'll have a good store of mulah!

Just sonic bomb him out of the sand and then headlock him with a spear... i killed him in liked 1 minute or 2 with a good spear.

theres 2 ways to do this either choose the cephadrome mision or the liver of legend mission then get a decent weapon [i used agito plus and dragon agito] make sure it has at least 500 attack then have fun killing. if you chose to fight the cephadrome you will probably get a large monster bone and you should get large monster bones in the reward and if you get piscine jaws you can trade them to the forest and hills elder and get medium monster bones. the same goes for the liver of legend mission except that instead of being rewarded or carving large monster bones you get medium ones

An easy way to make money is to fight what ever wyvren is easy for you. You can beat kut-ku fight it and sell the parts you get. If you can beat los, sell the parts. Any wyvren that you can beat, kill it and sell the parts

Buy about 10 crickets & worms or more and choose easy raw meat mission. Collect as many as you need then use all your crickets and stuff fishing in base camp. Most fish are worth something between 25-150 but if you get the 5* golden fish you get 750 gold at the end of the mission. This is the only place I've found them and if you have enough worms / crickets and are lucky you can get that set of armour you've always wanted.

This is much easier way of getting Nova crystals and cash. Do 4 star crystal hunting, load up on picks old and normal, and equip you worst armour. This works best in partys of 3 but if you are solo it just take a bit longer. Mine area 7 as the quarts is infinite, drop every quarts you get and pocket the Nova crystals. When you are done find a good way to die. This will get you 2440z per stone or good material for hard armour. Enjoy and say hi if you see me.

do the quest your first monster hunt and get a decent weapon so it go's quickly once you have killed all the monsters go to the web get all the spider webs it has then go to the mushroom patch and pick all the mushrooms you can get then it will say quest completed then push take reward matiriels and then sell all the loot exept the mushrooms and spider webs kepp repeating this and you should have a crap load of money good luck my fellow hunters!

1. Complete all the lvl 1 quests
2. Do the urgent lvl 2 quest
3. Do present for the armorer the get as many kelbi horns ans u can
4. Take them to the box
5. When the quest is don't go into your house put everything except the kelbi horns in your bank thingy then
6. Talk to the elder then start the quest again but this time u don't have to go get them just put the 1st you have in the box as a reward u should get a bunch of kelbi hides (hides sell for 28z each) keep doing that and when you get 99 hides put them in the bank and go again when you are out of horns or just get tired of it sell all the hides and if you have horns left they sell for 52z each sell everything kelbi and wallah you're rich.

the best way for me to make money is by doing that The Land Shark quest. u just need some good armour, Battle seems to work (I have full cephalos) and a good weapon, Golem Blade and iron Katana Grace are excellent Great Swords against a cephadrome.

Firstly, u need to make Sonic Bombs;
Fire Herb + Nitroshroom = Gun Powder
Gunpowder + Screamer(Reward from The Formidable Velocidrome) = Sonic Bombs

Items:
-Sonic Bombs
-Whetstones
-Cool drinks
-Potions

When you begin the quest, go to the item box and get all the items out. drink a cool drink and head to Area 1. There should be around 3 cephalos there, they won't be any trouble if you can avoid them. wait there for around 2 minutes and the cephadrome should apear. (If this is your first time on this quest, go to Area 2).

Now for some fun, wait for the wyvern to get close and launch a sonic bomb, it should dive out of sand, start pounding the crap out of it until it stands, when its stood, use a paint ball (supplied in item box) at it. now stand in between its legs and use uppercuts and wide slashes in a combination of the same order, if it DOES escape, it will, if weak, will be in area 3, if it isnt there, continue searching in area 1 or 2.

When it is in area 3, just attack its head full on (If asleep) then when it stands again, continue the uppercut wide slash combination and it will eventually die with ease.

This normally takes me around 3 or 4 minutes to do, and becasue i do this quest a lot, i have full cephalos armour, for both gunner and blademaster, loads of money and sandstorm (gun).

If your a new player and you need some easy cash, go to the village elder at the end of the village (the short stubby guy). Then go up to him and talk to him, then take the level one quest 'finding raw meat' and go on it.Then go over to the tree and press squere. you should start off at the bace camp, but go over the the small fire and thre should be a small opening, go through it. Then you should see a small herd of Atonoths (the big spikey dinosaur things).
Go and kill one or two of em and carve em up and get 2 raw meat. Then take it to the red box and press X. After that you will have compleated the quest, earned 50z and then take all of the reward itams and sell them. You should earn about 120z. Then return to the village elder and take the quest again. When you have earned lots of money buy loads of cool stuff and do all the rest of the quests and advance to level 2. Do all the quests that you find easy and give to some cool cash. Do this over and over and over again to really get some searious booty. Buy all the itams and advance in power to become the ultimout monster hunter!!!

ok what to do is do the lvl2 star quest where you kill the kibble or something and take the horns back to the box you will get kibble hide and honey and the honey worth 45 each! and you get some thing like 28 for the hide i got 10 hide once that is 28x10=280

also for easy money do the preparing meat quest and make lots of well done meat it goes for 48z each time i reccomend this method

go on the mission "trouble some pair" with a weapon that has green sharpness(makes this much easier) and find one of the raths. cut off his or her tail, carve it and hope you get one, then go after the other and the same thing. good luck!

Tired of waiting offline to get to level 5? Just so you can fight the plesioth for cool armor?

Well, you can do it earlier! How? Well, you now the Yian Kut-Ku and his shells? Well you can trade with the forest zone's elder for a plesioth scale.
The fins? No problemo. Trade a Kut-Ku ear and voila!

Just do the Liver of Legend quest and carve as many Cephalos as you can. This way you will get lots of scales and you can trade Cephalos fins for Rathalos webbing!

As for the monster fluid, either do the 4 star quest "Attack of the Giant Bugs!" or use a lv1 Poison shot and kill the Vespoid in the wild.

Combine those items and eureka! Plesioth Armor.

Or you could just go hunt one...

I hav, and would choose:
Great Weapon (Serpant Blade)
Good Armor: Bone Mail
Bone Vambraces
and Velociprey Legs (Swords)

Okay First Take: The Flash Bombs
The Smoke Bombs
The Paintballs
The Map
and The Small Barrel Bombs

Bring:

First Time: Potions, Flash bombs, and Paintballs…
Afterwards: Anything you want... U all already won once so just hav fun with it...

Ok, First find him... Then when you do find him, Use a flash bomb and get to hitting him!!! He doesn't hav anything to help him battle you with... so just hav fun with it!!! When the First Flash Bomb Wares-OFF USE ANOTHER ONE QUICK!!! I MEAN IT!!! When your out of Flash-Bombs then he should be near Death... Or Dead

He should move (a lot)... FOLLOW HIM!!! When he goes to #5... WAIT!!! When he turns Blue wait 2 seconds and go in... 1 2, GO!!!!! By now He should be asleep:

If so, Use a SMOKE BOMB to distract the Velociprey… Go up to Kut-Ku and put down all of the small barrel bombs and stay under him on the other side then the bombs, if u did it correctly then u shouldn't b hit by the bombs and Kut-Ku should... Then give him the LAST AND FINAL BLOWS!!!!!

If not, GET OUT OF THERE!!! Wait a couple of more seconds and go back in... If he is finish him off with the instructions above, if not keep on doing this until u succeed... and keep on trying... or u will never win...

Getting Money- Sell everything you don't use, keep nothing that doesn't have value. Remember, those items worth 1z add up.
My personal favorite quest is "Hunting for mushrooms", you get a free "Old Pickaxe" and "Old Bugnet" when doing the quest. Bring along your own pickaxe's and such. You can easily abtain the mushrooms required for the quest by following "Mosswine" and pressing "X" Repeatadly until you pick up the ones the pigs have dropped.

Fighting- When fighting Wyverns it is important that you keep your weapon sharp. However, your sword will eventually dull and bounce against the beasts hard plates. When this happens it is important to keep in mind that your swords movements are faster when the blade is dull. Use faster combinations until you have a chance to get away and use "Whetstone" on your weapon.
Have you ever run out of special bullet's for your gun? You can always mix "Dung" with "Nutshells" to create a shot that effects monsters with sensitive noses.

Items- It is important that you have at least one gun item and one short range item. some quests have diffrent events which need to be met, it might be much easier for you to perform a quest with one than the other.
It is a good idea for you to stock up on Pickaxe's and simiular items. You will always need to upgrade an item or build up on armour. So keep these things in your bank.

Tip 1:I have found out that thunder on his tail stub does more damage.
Tip 2:He is very vunerable to Barrel Bombs(Hello Its a rock, use Explosives)
Tip 3:Same thing with the Baby form!

To kill Sand Wyverns with a Bowgun, use an Arbalest that has been upgraded at least 3 times, and has the long barrel and zoom scope attached. Take as many crag and pellet shots as possible. Also take 1 Cool Drink (You will get 2 more from the blue box) or, if you have it, full Cephalos armour. When you are on the mission, load your bowgun with crag shells. Go to a place where the wyverns stop, and wait there. When a wyvern stops "swimming" in front you, lure it after you. Be ready to roll out of it's way if it lunges at you. When it dives futher down into the sand, turn around and draw your Arbalest out. It will come up facing away from you and then it will jump out of the ground and spit sand, with you behind it. When it does this, fire a crag shell at it. The shell will stick to it and explode in a few seconds, but by then the wyvern should have gone back underground. This will cause it to fly into the air. When it lands it will flop around helplessly for a few seconds. As it's doing this, switch your ammo to pellet shells. By the time that's done, the wyvern should have gotten to it's feet. Stay near it and fire at it from as close as possible, but don't go under it. As the pellet shells shoot out a wide spray of pellets, you can do more damage by standing right next to the wyvern and firing. When you need to reload, stand about 10ft away from the wyvern WITH IT FACING YOU! Wait until it does it's sand attack, then roll to the side and reload. Keep doing this until it dies (This may take a while).

Note: It's a good idea to take some Normal S Lv1's and 2's, in case you run out of pellet shells.

Warning: While this works fine on Cephalos, don't even think of trying it on the boss sand wyvern, the Cephadrome.

The two bugs that I'm talking about are: The 'vespoids' and the 'honteaurs,' they are both rarely carvable. One means that I've heard about is you get a 'Bone Kris' and upgrade that into, I think its called a 'Poison Hydra'. But the materials required for that are hard to obtain. Instead, get any kind of shotgun, light bowgun, or heavy bowgun, just be sure you have one that can shoot poison arrows. then go on and, "OPEN FIRE!!!"

...*NOTICE: The vespoids should die instantly from this attack but after you attack the honteaurs they still have a few seconds left to bite you.

Remember this is used for pl8 runs or to help a low lvl get an xtra boost of exp so he can rank up XD.

This skill depends on the spear that is involved which determines the amount of strikes used. Try to use one that has at least some green sharpness. When u r to HL make sure that u r the 1st person in the zone 1st since this lessens the lag. Also when u r trying to kill, make sure the others attack the wings after the tail is off to decrease the amount of times it does the step back ow thing. As soon u c the Rath, do 2 or 3 pokes depending on the power of the spear. In the middle of shaking its head do 1 poke if it took u 2 pokes for it to shake. 2 pokes if it took 3. Now as soon as it stands normally poke it in the face again. This should cause it to shake its head again. Now repeat the process and u got yourself a headlock. But please do this for pl8 runs only.

in order to kill a gypceros you need pitfall trap and some barrel use a great sword like dragon agito then when it start go to zone 2 wait unit it come set the pitfall where it shadow is set up the barrel then start slashing it unit it die or if you got a better weapon use it

Now here's a run down of how to lock a Rathian (ian) and a Rathalos (los) (with lance).
Only try this when you are doing plate runs online (quests are Wyverns of Land and Sky (wolas), Troublesome Pair (TP) ian or los + quests)
This is where you will find the los if doing Wolas- Always area 5 and the ian is in 4 or 9.
If you are the one that is locking be sure to be the first player to enter the area the los or ian is in as you will get lag which is harder to lock them.
Try and go the los first as it flies about a lot.
When you have entered the area hit the los's head until it shakes it, now here is how to lock.....
As the los's head is near the ground (during shake) hit him with forward, then back when head is up (still shaking) and then hit him with another up when he stops shaking, then he should shack his head again and then you do a back step (NO side step) and hit him with the same process.....ALLWAYS sharpen your lance when you have a chance.
You can also lock the los with only two hits but this requires a powerful spear such as a black dragon spear (only available online)
What you do is hit the los until it shakes its head and when he raises his head (still shacking) hit him with an down on pad then when he stops shacking hit him again with the down on pad, he should then shack his head and while he is doing that immediately side step and hit the other side of his face with the same combo. If your lance losses it sharpness for the first time you HAVE to use the 3 hit method as you can't lock the los with the 2 hits while the lance is blunt.
Now here is how you lock the ian.....
It's exactly the same a locking the los with the 2 hit combo but if you lose the sharpness you can still hit the ian with the 2 hits......
I hope this helps you with locking......If there any questions please email me at derekb669@hotmail.com

once u become very good at monster hunter and have great armour/sword and all, a easy way to get money is to keep on killing to giant velocidrone becuase u will get 400z each time you conplete it, this is also know as the 1st quest on the 3 stars.

1ST of all you need about 3,000 buy some big bomb's and 8 small bomb's (you get 2 in the blue box) and a trap if this is your 1st he will be in area 2 time lay your trap on the floor and run at it you might want to place the 3 big bomb's near or on the trap(up to you) run at it and run back to your trap and wait if he fall's in place use 3 bomb's and 1 small bomb if you have any soinc bomb's wait untill he get's up throw one at him and go in and attack him you need a good sword I had bone blade+ run up and beat the sh*t out of him if he run's he go's to area 3 go there but be carefull there are cat's there if you have 2 sonic bomb's throw one then place 2 small bomb near his feet and run keep run up and placing bomb's untill he's back or untill you run out of bomb's and then just siwing about try and do the leg siwing this makes him to fall over sometime's and then attack his head or wings (those are his week ponit's) and then you should have killed him if you didn't keep attacking him you don't need armor if you can get him on the floor or use sonic bomb's you do need a better sword to kill him.

good luck
if you need more help e-mail me

enter any mission on forest and hills and go 2 area 11 (u know where the buffalango and sushi fish is)look around the area towards the entrance to area 12 and you should see a little tree like stump press x next to it and bingo you have worms do dis as many times as you like to get as much as you want

i have sum info on the plesioth (obviously). while doin the "water wyvern in the desert" mission or any other where u kill a ples, pullin it out of the water does a small amount of damage and can actually kill the ples if it health is low. i have done this so its no lie. it also leaves the ples squirming while its on land so get a few heafty blows in while its dazed. happy hunting!!

If you have trouble fighting multiple monsters with a blade, see if there's a platform you can climb up to (must be ground level platform though). Get close to the edge, facing the monsters on the ground. Be careful though because some attacks will make you move forward a little...if you're too close you will fall right into the angry beasts. Then use an overhead swing. The monsters remain where they are, trying to get to you...but your blade will still hit them if you do it right. NOTE: This only works on ground dwelling, non-jumping monsters. Works great when facing multiple Bullfangos.

What you need:
3 Cool Drinks (to survive in the desert)
The stuff in the blue box
Some well done steak

Weapon & armor:
O.K. Great Sword or Hammer (like Ravager Blade+, or Bone Broadaxe)
Good Armor (Recommended full Kut-Ku or Velociprey if first time, or full Cephalos is even better)

How to:
1. Drink Cool Drink (skip this step if you have full Cephalos, which is heat resistant)
2. go into area 2
3. Here's where it gets tricky, you see the fins, those are your cephalos. Now follow one with your camera. You'll notice it stops at some point. Go to that point. Stay at that point until a cephalos stops right in front of you. Hit it with your sword or hammer. It will do one of 6 things. 1. It will jump out of the ground right where you hit it and flop around helplessly for a little bit. 2. It will keep on going after about 3 seconds of being stopped. 3. It will turn right at you and go underground, then appear about 15 feet away, then jump out of the sand, spit sand, and go back down. 4. It will trun at you and swim for a little bit and then fly out of the ground and back into the ground. 5. It will turn toward you and fly out of the ground, hurting you. 6. It wil jump out of the sand, wriggle in a direction for a little bit, then stand up.
4. If it did #1, then hack at it until it gets up (more on this in step #5). If it did #2, there's nothing you can do, so stay where you are and wait for another one. If it did #3 look around until you see it com up, then run near it, but not too close, and hit it when it spits sand, and it will do one of thos 6 things again, except for keep on going. If it did number 4, then run towards the spot where it landed and it will do one of the six thing, including keep on going, if it keeps on going repeat step 3. If it did #5, then roll away, and run towards where it landed, and the same thing will happen as with number 4. If it did #6, then get out of the way, and run towards it and start hackng (more about this in step #5).
5. If it did got out of the sand and is standing up, you can kill it, but it can kill you. Be careful. It can do 5 things. 1. It turns around, hurting you with its tail, and sending you flying. 2. Turns its head around and bites you. 3. Spits sand and if youare in the way of it's sand will send you flying. 4. It will quickly slam its side against the air, if you are in its way, it'll send you flying. 5. will fly back into the sand. If you are far away, it will likely do #5, but otherwise, it's probable that it won't if you haven't hurt it. If it turns around, get underneath the legs and do the left, right great sord combo, or the up, up, up hammer combo. Same if it does the biting or sand spitting, but if it does the side slamming, roll away and hack. After about 5 strong greatsword hits it's dead, so carve it up and hope you get a piscene liver. Now repeat step 3 until you have as much stuff as you want.

Hints: After a while your cool drink will wear off, so no matter what drink your cool drink (if you don't have full cephalos armor), They can and will harm you, so drink your first aid meds, this mission will take a while, so you are going to have to use your Well Done Steaks, you can use your sonic bombs if you like, in order to skip step 3 once, but you have to get it right over the cephalos, and it will jump out of the ground, and flop around, if you want the armor save all cephalos fins and scales you get.

Rewards: Small monster bones, Medium monster bones, Wyvern claws, Piscene claws, Piscene jaws. Congradulations.

ok for them who have a hard time killing this monster, its not easy by the way, and also if u have like only about 30def u can still do it, u need about 2-3 traps max big bombs and small ones make sure when the cyrceros gets caught use all 3 big ones then ONE small one and keep attacking with your wepon, i used dragon agito, u should also have max potions and herbs alone come in handy, and when he flashes the bright light you might get confused but u could also twirl the left anolog stick (the one u move with) to get it out of it easier and by the way, zone 2 is the best place to kill him other zones may have the bullfango in them, and other items other then what i said may be required as net and box traps, and flash bombs dont work if u havnt realized that. I hoped this helped you, it took alot of reading but im sure you'll have an easier time killing it, and also u need alot of money for the items you'll have to get, happy hunting, dont die.

Ok 1st of all you’re probably reading this as, aw I can’t beat the dam mother#$%@&*% ku! Well you have two choices!
1. Spend you time upgrading weapons like get a great sword and then upgrading it and getting used to the controls
Or what I did my first kill
2.get a trap tool and a net combine it if it becomes garbage make it again but keep garbage to give to elder, so you have your now you have a pit fall trap. make potions, blue mushroom + herb = potion, then now you go to the quest with the ku have any weapon you like ,if your good with gun i'm very jealous, so the get everything from item chest everything!!! and then go to area two I think, take a left instead of going straight, see movie scene then get your paint ball hit the dam ku. then block and attack again and again do that 5 times then set up your trap, but wait about 5 sec to see if he is going to leave or stay, have him in it now get a small barrel bomb and you big barrel bomb ready set big first then small, BIG BOOM!, the attack and attack till it gets up then block attack about three times then flash bomb it in the eyes don’t forget the eyes then attack it more, depending on the sword you have it takes different times, but after the flash thing and you attacking it its ears should go down and just attack like those crazy farm cats and you should win, mostly if you have great sword or sword and shield
If you need any help just e-mail me at christopher@dock.net

are a no no because if you have anyone else in you group it you will be hitting them more than lao.

Lances-
probably the best weapon on lao because its percice does good damage doesnt hit you team alot
and is very sharp and can normally peirce lao. (only bring lances with green colored sharpness because they are the only sharpness that wont bounce off)

Duel swords-
Normally a bad idea because you cant reach head but they are ok on feet. Only use on feet if you have diablos or dragon armor though because the wind will make it to hard for you to be effective.

singlehanded swords-

heck no!

hammers-

same as duel swords.

guns-

Now these are also very good on lao one because it is very hard to miss. you can get many shots off when the meele people are pinned. It is a good suggestion to bring 99 wyvern claws and 99 sm bone husks which combine in two clust lvl 2. with 99 of those babys you can actually blow off a chunk of the laos left back plate


Now that you have your supplys and your weapons its time to leave.

First when you start quest you will be on a ledge with the giant lao walking by. Gunners shoot it now because it is a good oppurtunity and melee run inside the door infront of you. When inside go to the box and collect you supplys you will notice ballista shots do not take these yet. After getting supplies like first aid meds go to the room to the left of the box and see all the spears on a rack. go infront of it and press x untill you get all the message "nothing else there" then go back to the box and take the rest of the ballista shots you can carry. Now run into zone 2. Itmeadiatly run all the way to the left. and u will be stopped by rocks have every member of the team place 2 large barrel bombs. in the middle and have a desginated person to blow them up with a small barrel bomb. And wait....... The lao will come. When the chin s over the bombs place the sm barrel bomb and run! normally if there are 8 bombs he will roar and be like ow!gj if that worked. Now have every one do there designated duty. Gunners shoot lances lance his head hammers or duel swords hit his feet. Do this all the way till he leaves the zone. Then go back to base and go to the next. In the next zone have everyone place the left over bombs in the middle and have the designated blower upper do the same thing. Continue to hit until out of zone. Then when gone go to the next zone and just continue to wail on it. later in the zone you will notice stairs leading to a ladder leading to a bridge. There is an optional choich of landing on the laos back and carving stuff while it is still alive!. This may seem unbeleiveable but the stuff is not as good as the normal carves if u kill it. If you jump on it jump inbetween the sticking up plate in the front and the back . After you carve 3 times jump down and continue to wail on it till out of 4. Now comes the intresting part. before you go to zone five have all the gunners grab a cannon ball which is located next to the spears. have them walk it to 5 beware of ioprey which may hit it out of you hands. Ok after you are all on five you will be on a ledge with 2 balistas 2 cannons and a giant red button. Do not push el button!. It is the dragonator and i will explain later what this is for. now when you can see its head pop out start shooting ballistas people just press square x square x if it rumbles you are hitting it. Now when you see its first back spike gunners with cannonballs press x by the cannon and have it shoot. prefferably the left cannon because it hits its foot and sometimes trips it . after all the balistas and cannons are shot have all but one person jump down and start kill lao. preferablly this one guy or girl is a gunner if not it is ok. Now everyone wail on lao for the rest of the quest except for the dude still uptop. He has to press the dragonator. ...............Now when you see lao stand up on 2 legs and start to walk foward get ready after about 4 or 5 steps on 2 legs hit the dragonator. It will send 4 spikes into its stomach causeing extream damage. after you do that jump down and join your team in the killing of lao. if you kill it it dies and you get 9 carves if you repell it you just get reward but thats good to. Good luck

In the forest and hills section, there's a long, narrow area. Go in there and search all of the bushes, one should give you special mushrooms and Kut-Ku scales. Also, searching in dung occasionally gets Kut-Ku scales. Searching in the wyvern cave, also, occasionally gives Kut-Ku scales. I, personally, just fight them, but if you just got the game, this is quick money.

Do liver of legend and carve as many cephalos as you can.

The livers get you 200oz each but I prefer selling the scales and jaws.


I also recommend using a weapon with high sharpness and full cephalos.

okay, this is quite easy. do the los mission. when it goes to 9 stand on the ledge. it'll circle in the air alot but when it lands just unload, if it goes to 4 also stand on the ledge but watch it, he likes to come up there sometimes.Then if he goes to 6 head to area 5. go out BUT DONT JUMP DOWN. just stand on top of the blood smears. here he will not be able to hit u with any attack and u can just unload on him.

dont know if this helps anyone but its here if u need it.

If you find a gathering point e.g. a three, mushroom patch, mining point or wervens nest (in section 5),
keep pressing the promted button really quickly X or square to get lots of items.
NOTE: Dosen't work for fishing!

A good way for me to make money is to do the "Liver of Legend" one. After a while you will see a noticable pattern in the way the Sand Wervens swim. Take an extra cool drink and mabey some potions and whetsones if you need to. Stay near the entrence to the desert place and just stand there untill you see a Sand Werven thing comen at you and run up and attack him with a great sword. If he comes out start attacking him near the neck area and watch out for his tail. Dont forget to use your sonic bombs if ya have any. Do this lots of tiems for most of the time your there. 3 of the livers you will need to deliver, but the other 7 you might get can be worth a lot of money (2100 I think) plus the other 600 for doing the misson and med monster bones that help with swords and different things like that and fins and other things you get form them sell for alot. I go from like 2000 to 4300 something from doing this

Start a new player and go to the shot man near the the pub and get 1500z. Go to the lady near the fruit stand and buy 10 worms and 5 crickets. Then go on the 1 star mission and and go behind the hut.Then go up the ramp and get the worms or crickets out and then press square, when a fish bites press X. you get 15 fish thats usually around 450z to 759z. if you get a goldenfish you get 750z extra.

im going to tell you guys a little secret, on the mission where you need to kill the big monster thingy worth 900 money for the mission use a pitfall trap then get him into it (will only work with a gun)no matter what ammo you have shoot him again and again its hard i know to kill but once you done the mission go back do it again finish it go back do it again and again and again and again confused, good, after a while you will have loadsa cash what to do now, go to one of the guys who upgrade your weapon and upgrade your gun and again and again and again. by now youre thinking what is this crap useful for anyway, well now you have an exteremly powerful weapon and you know what that means, killing time run around and kill everything on all the missions more than once youll get money for it and if you do it without taking any damage talk to the cheif he will give you a bonus bag of money worth around....... 50,000 gold good yes but you dont have the best weapon in the game if you are stupid get a bonesword and upgrade it. and by the way the 50,000 gold can only be acheived once on the level with the 900 reward.and now for the best, the cleverest, the best part get really good armour and kill the huge dragon things on one of the missions and do it again and again and again by the time you finish after 5 missions youll have around 100,000 money to do whatever you want, wam bam thank you dude.

If you are a Blademaster and find ammo useless, make all your disk stones into disk ammo and sell them. I don't ever use them and some of the weapons require disk stones but if you never use them do that. They sell 104 a pop.

whenever you do a quest always go to the item box and get the rations. They should completely fill your stamina.

go to jungle level 8 search by the tree where the eggs are not on the wyvern egg collecting levels you should normally find kut ku scales
which sell for 250 each i found 4 so thats 1000
so sell em get some money this is quite easy and fast so try it out if its rubbish don't do it then duh

The monoblos can only be fought in Single-Player!
Many player do not know this and its materials are needed to make rare armor and weapons!

The easiest way to kill a Kut-ku is usually with a spear or lance. I use a spiked spear, which is relly sharp.first get 3 big barrel bombs and 10 small ones. Use the flash bomb to stun the kut-ku, if you go behind the kut-ku and plant the bombs this works the best as you minimize damage taken. The reason blade masters want to use a lance is because when you stab in the legs enough it will keel over and start yellping and this is when you charge it. The kut-ku is on the ground , leaving it a target, and you can't run through a living thin so you stop right there, stabing it.This is not going to kill on your first try, but this does a great deal of damage to whatever you are attacking. After you get it to start limping, charge after it. This will get good damage in so you can kill it and carve it for parts!!

Nitroshroom and Special mushroom can be found behind the tree in zone 7 forest and hills.

The smaller version of bullfango have mushrooms growing on their backs (usually blue mushroom)

COMBOS:
Nitroshroom + Fire Herb (found at shop in village) = Gun powder

Blue Mushroom + Herb = Potion

Toadstool + Raw Meat = Poisoned Meat

First try to never use lg bomb because the cost not equal the damage think about that. You must wait after the bomb to explode and if the wyvern hurt you, you can explode with him.

Try to not use hammer vs high speed monster XD if you can see a noob with a hammer and try to kill vespoid take your GS and kick him in air.

The Black dragon spear kill a Yian Kut-ku in 3 min. The yien kut-ku can be wl(Wing lock)just hit the wing will prevent the flee of ykk.

The rathian do some backflip when you are in her leg be caution a deadly poison attack.

For cephalos the Gs is your weapon. Run in him and a up attack with some chance he will go out from sand and if you miss you have done much damage because all the hit was in the back fin.

To all pretencious lancer somtime some gs will hit the head when you are not on. Don't be angry Great Sword can head lock too like dual sword. Hammer a sword and shield are not created.

Like I said before Gs can head lock take a fast gs metal type because bone are heavy and start with with up and still with down and left.
Warning: Only strong Gs can hl.

How to know if my weapon can hl: hit the monster face and look how many hit you need to stun him.

Getting plates can be easier than you think. first complete all the missions. yes i know not that easy but still. after words go on the secret quest "a trouble some pair". you should have to kill both the rathian and the rathalos. but we're not trying to kill them. all you need is a fairly strong weapon with green sharpness(it can be done with out but its much easier with good sharpness) grab some health restoring items and then set out. take what you need from the supply box and then find either rath. and mark it with a paintball and then start whacking away at its tail. to make this easier you should bring flash bombs to stall him/her. after you chop off the tail carve it up. even if you get hurt in the process don't worry, just reheal and run. once you have carved it find the other rath. same thing if you don't get a plate from either die three times, and then sell what you got from thier tails and try again.

I've seen many tips for making money (steaks, fishing, etc) and here is one I find most useful:
In the offline version of the game do the two start quest called "Precent for the Armorer." Launch the quest and conentrate on doing nothing but killing Kelbi that whole time. AFter about 35 minutes of this, you will have gathered somewhere between 30-35 Kelbi Horns and 25-30 Hides. The horns sell for 52z, and the hides sell for 24z. The advantage of this over this steaks is that you can carry more than 10 of each item AND you don't have to spend time cooking the meat and possibly missing the "well-done" mark. It is also less time consuming and more productive then fishing. If you come away with 30 horns and 25 hides, you just made whopping 2160z (or more!!!) for your efforts plus the 300z reward giving you close to 2500z! Happy shopping!

I submitted a cheat that said:

The Safe and Easy Way of Returning Wyvern Eggs
If you want to return wyvern eggs safely, do the following in order:

1> Grab 1 egg and break it ( you'll see the use of this)
2> figure out the way you want to return the eggs
3> kill all the velociprey in the zones you will return the egg
4> grab the egg and follow your path
5> cross your toes that the rotholas don't come

i learned you could go through ZONE6!
first of all never hold R2(Sprint) while going down the cliff.

its really simple I'll tell you the first part. go down the stair part (right when you leave zone 5 with the egg) you do not drop the egg.
then adjust your camera with the CONTROL PAD so that the camera is looking down. and figure out the rest. just jump down the parts that are like the stairs height (not the whole thing but one individual stair part.)

eventually you should be down on the ground of zone 6.

another tip for this mission, paintball the Rathlos.

Once you obtain a weapon with poison as its element then carving insects should be easy. You need to get to level 4 quests and start the "Attack of the Bugs" quest. Here you need to kill some Vespoids but there are also Hornetaurs in this quest. You should kill Hornetaurs first to get more time to carve things. If your weapon sharpness decreases, don't sharpen it. The weaker it is the more hits the insect needs to get taken down. This means you have more opportunities to poison it. Once it's poisoned, just walk away and let the bugger die on its own. You can get Monster Fluids off of insects which sell for 500z. In the area with broken eggs, there are sometimes 4 Kut-Ku scales which sell for 250z each. Don't check the broken eggs, check the spot right next to it.

If you can do HR 2 quests (i got to it by finding another site that listed the required quests for advancement) choose The Ioprey Leader, the reward is 4200z plus 2x 350 contract fee and you get some good stuff. <img src="http://i.neoseeker.com/d/icons/smile.gif" border=0 vspace=2 alt="" />

1) Take the fishing quest for suishfish,and take just enuogh items not too fill your inventory.
2)go too map 11 and defeat the pig (but if you leave he will respawn).
3)the rocks on the end of the stream faceing map 12 is were you find infinite worms.
4) fish till you fill your inventory and have at least one suishfish.
5)after completing sell all the fish some are worth 48 to 98 its a quick 500 to 900. you can do this with other quests for more money when ever map 11 is open

When level 13 or above go to missions and look at kut-ku if you have it you should be able to solo it easy. Go on it by your self or with other people. Once you finish you get 310xp. Keep on doing this over and over again, for good xp.

if you have the power juice or mega juice, use those item to make your stamina always full when you run. so, you can run without decreasing your stamina in period of time.

If you have alot of med bones. Go to the swamp elder with 3 per mission. He will trade you the ores for med bones. It all depends on wether or not you have alot of med bones or not. I find it easier to do things this way beings my luck with machilate ores suck. GOOD LUCK HUNTERS.

Area 2 By the enterance to area 1 there is a rock on its own. (Kut-Ku Scales + Paintberrys)

Area 9 In a lonesome bush near enterance to area 3 (Special Mushroom)

Area 7 Behind he tree (Special Mushroom + Nirtoshroom) Also talk to the little man he gives you combos and other items.

Supply box Items that dont say (Suplly item) at the end of quest you ill keep them if you take them out.

To get off a Rath's tail (grrrrrrr!), you should really use a GS. I use Sentinel (trying to get Tactical Blade) Wait until it does a fireball, then run behind it and use the Infinite Combo (Left, Right on Analogue Stick). Don't worry about the Upswing;everoyne else will be attacking elsewhere, and if not, it's okay to send one teammate flying. Hey, it's all for a good cause (cutting off a fat red/green tail). But if you send 2/3 people flying, go and get another weapon (coughhammercough). That tail will come off sooner or later.


Note-Can someone please e-mail me to tell me how to get los/ian Claws. Thanks in advance.

Okay listen up here is the one and only fastest way to kill a kut-ku!(with or without barrel bombs)
1: Get a strong weopon preferable hammers and greatswords but lances work well to.
2: Go to any kut-ku hunting quest.
3:take your weapon and hit it in the head and wings (which are its weakest points)
4:Make sure to paintball it because when it leeves the area you will need to catch up to it.
5(part1):Yu can then set a pitfall trap if yu want to (i dont like to because i think its a cowards way of playing... but thats just my opinion). If yu do set it you might be able to kill it rite there if yur weapon is strong enough just remember to hit the wings and head.
5: (part2) For those of yu who dont use the pitfall trap yur gonna have get its attention (just running at him works)
6: After hitting him a few more times (if yur not lucky!)he should run again if thats the case follo him again and finish him. If yu have a strong enough weapon he wont get a 3rd chance or even that 2nd chance to run.A.K.A hes dead.

IF yu plan on using flashbombs, barrel bombs, or even sonic bombs (yes i said sonic bombs), u can try to use them anywhere in steps 3-6

Good luck fello hunters if u need help email me

The fastest way to cut a tail is to get dual dragon ultimus (online only) duel swords, these are great weapons which look the part too. Get someone to headlock, drink a mega juice and R1 just keep using the down move, takes about 3 so about 10 seconds.

You can also head lock with them, you use the left and right analog movements to keep it bowing.

If you are running plate runs offline then grab some flash bombs, stun it and use whatever you want to to cut the tail, I like DDU and BDS then if you don't get a plate abandon.

1: plesioth-slightly different to the cephadrome, exept it's massive. 'ere's a tip that COULD (not will) help you kill it, you should use a poison weapon that you can block with. when it comes out of the water, run around it in a circle (clockwise)that is a little bit bigger than it's tail. when it gets ready to shoot water from it's mouth, move to its legs and start attacking. when it stops, go back to the circle. it's quite long, but worked for me.

2: cephadrome-you could use the full cephalos armour because then you won't lose health in the heat. try to stay on the left side of its body when it's facing towards you because the tail swing goes clockwise only (as for all wyverns(exept the rathalos))

3: ermm... basarios?-not much of a tip, but you can take 3 large barrel bombs and place them next to an exploding rock, that way it does extra damage. and i found out that you can't block the fire beam it does by trying. I HAD HALF MY HEALTH AND IT KILLED ME! OMG! sorry...

4: ...

Ok, listen up. First tip....stop posting Kut Ku tips, they are too easy for tips, same with all the Dromes. Here are the tips I have for you that are very usefull:

Gypceros-Gravios: To kill these wyverns quickly (not, this is not the easy way, it's a quicker way)bring 2 Traptools, 2 nets, Book of Combos 1-5, or 1-3 if you haven't played online, and bring a Pitfall. Bring 5 Flash Bombs, and Flashbugs and Bomb Material to make more Flash Bombs, 10 Large Barrels, 10 Small Barrel Bombs, 10 Gunpowder(combine with Large Barrels), 3 Large Barrel Bombs, 10 Antidotes, 10 Potions, 10 Mega Potions, 5 Demondrugs, or 5 Mega Demondrugs, and 10 Well-Done Steaks. These items you will find useful, but you will also want the Rations and First-Aid meds they give you. First off, get the supply items, take your Demondrug/Mega Demondrug(only one not all of them at once) and then run to the area they are usually in. Use a Flashbomb, (note, flashbombs don't work on Gypceros) and while they have the stars around their heads, place the pitfall down, and then run up and attack it's head/stomach. When it snaps out of the Flashbomb's effect, make sure you are facing the wyvern, but you are ON THE OTHERSIDE of the pitfall. If does a breath attack, run, then go back to the same sot you were in AFTER the breath attack is done. Then, when it charges and falls in pitfall, place 2 Large Barrel Bombs down right next to its stomach, and I mean RIGHT NEXT TO it's stomach. Then place 1 Small Barrel Bomb in the Large Barrel Bombs, and get a safe distance away, but not too far away. The explosion will cause a massive ammount of damage to the wyvern you are fighting. Then, after that, its still in the pitfall, so thats the best oppurtunity to at
