Monster Hunter Freedom 2 Cheats & Tips

rating: 4.00/5.00 Drunken Hunter

Funny! first enter the gathering hall then sit down on the table and press circle and watch him drink beer. Do it 10x then stand up. Watch your hunter became drunk and watch it walk or stand still until your hunter falls to the ground.=)

rating: 2.50/5.00 Duping Basic Items

This allows you to dupe any item that has low enough rarity to trade. This can be incredibly useful for players that are new to the game or are low on cash. I use it to make more sonic bombs, flash bombs. and barrel bombs mostly. All you have to do is trade away all the items you want to dupe to a friend. Then hit home and exit the game without saving. Then when you get back in all your items will still be in your box and get the duped ones back from your friend. Very simple and saves a lot of cash. Have fun!

rating: 1.00/5.00 Activating armor skills

If you think acquiring armor pieces that have your desired armor skill is difficult because their materials are hard to find or are from tough monsters,why not buy decorations of the same armor skill to be put into your armor set?The materials are easy to find,for some.

rating: --- Beginner Hunters Tip: Earn up to 3000z after each quest.

For early and beginning hunters, this is a tip to getting up to 3000z after each quest. You should invest your Pokke Points in the the Pokke Farm's Field in which you can grow plants. You need at least 1 Powerseeds to start off and enough Fertilliser to maximise all your field rows to 3. Simply plant a Powerseed in all your field rows and fertilise them to their maximum limit. After a quest, return and harvest only one Powerseed, with everything else being sold for each row. With the reasonable price of each berry, you should receive an average of 1000z per row. Note that this method can be used for other more expensive plantable berries or plants if found.

Bombing Diablos or Monoblos is very easy. when they dig underground, toss a Sonic Bomb. place 2 bombs near them and wait for them to come out the ground. if they land, quickly detonate the bombs any way possible.

rating: --- Break The Horn Of Teostra And Lunastra.

Sick of getting rundowned by charges of the sibling/couple?

Time to payback:
When you Luckily luckily dodge charge run after them, find the ryt timing of their turning, then attack. Give them a running front slice from a GS or LS. They should break their horns in no time.

rating: --- Climb Vines Faster!

When you start climbing a vine, hold down R as you would to run and you will start climbing faster at the small stamina cost per hand movement!

rating: --- Coins for Items

having a hard time killing a, for example, Kirin, while you can easily kill them in training?
you can trade 'Training Coins' with Veggie Elders for monster parts. for example, trading a Kirin Coin can give you a Kirin Horn or Mane.

rating: 1.00/5.00 Defending with the Gunlance

This is a great little tip for anyone who can use Gunlances. First, get the Hermitaur Armour Set and attach Stonewall Jewels to the armour peices to activate 'Guard+2'. This will stop any damgae while blocking (with R). Then, take some Power Juice (Welldone Steak + Catalyst) and some Mega Juice (Welldone Steak + Power Extract). When used, you can block all of your monster's attacks for a certain amount of time (how long the Power/Mega Juice lasts), and take no damage at all. This is a great advantages if when attacking (stabbing) while blocking (R+Triangle) as you can literally block every attack and counter-attack at the same time.

rating: --- Desert Home shortcut

At the Desert Base Camp, there is a well that is in the western part of the area. Go up to it and push Circle to climb on it, then movie and you will fall into Area 9.

rating: --- Diablos Hint

Works in: Training school, desert area 8.

First, climb on the ledge. With Dual blades, use devlish dance on the ledge and attak it's horns. This is a very easy way to destroy Diablos's horns.

rating: --- Dragonwood Longsword with Para at Low Level (**-*** Cheif quests)

Ok, to do this is a simple matter of patience, and some Pokke Farm points. You have to have Treni, Adventure cat Disciple in farm for this.

You Need to Do these First:
1) Get Treni Boat from the Pokke Farm Guy
2) Expand Bug bushs to at least 2
3) Have a Load of Pokke Points, and I mean A LOT (8000-12000 is pref.)

*) Ok, NOW we can start =).
First ya gotta keep sending Treni to Swamp for DRAGONMOSS (300 Pokke Points, bought 40% chance of getting) Then same but in Forest & Hills for DRAGONWOOD. Also, ya need 10 Chaos Mushrooms and 15 Thunderbugs. So get em however ya can (Chaos Mushrooms only from Mushroom tree[Pokke Renovation{Same chance of getting a C Shroom on all levels of tree}])

-(Chaos Mushroom Help) Just do any area Gathering quest and just turn in pawprint stamp as soon as ya start(This will reset Pokke farm as if you did whole quest)
-(Thunderbug Help) Same as above if ya got Bug Bush Expansion.
*Sword*- Once ya get all the stuff, you also need 20,000z to make it, just talk to the Crafter.(Guy next to weapon/armor selling cat)

rating: 1.00/5.00 Dual Blades-Mega Juice

If you are a Dual Blade user, and have a Mega Juice, you can use the Demonize combo for a lot longer, by drinking the Mega Juice, and then going into Demonize. Your stamina won't decrease, so you won't even have to leave the Demonize until your Mega Juice's effect stop.

rating: 4.00/5.00 Dual Rajang The Easy(ish) Way

So youve done all village chief quests...then u kill 2 types of every monster then u find theres a new quest and what do u know its the shan gaoren...bt tht doesnt concern me so when you do the goaren there is another quest...ok lets see...OMFG its The Final Invitation(dual rajang). the good thing is the other rajang doesnt come for ten mins so you need 2 be hastey first you will need a bow called abomadabal bow this is create by blango bow 4. and momoblos armor(for adrenaline +2 coz this greatly increases ur Attack nd Def. when u verse it putyour helth down to 40% coz then adrenaline kicks in. note: the rajang is very strong(strongest ive ever versed)so use bombs to put your health down(i know its suicidal bt its better thn gettin K.Oed by it in one. the rajang is fast bt rolls can avoid it. flash bombs and items to make flash bombs are very vital for this to work and book of combos 1-4. Haope it helps u kill those Mother *bleep***s XD

rating: --- Earn good money for do nothing

Upgrade your Field Row in pokke farm to max. Then find 3 power seeds and 3 dung and use it on the field; do one quest (and find more dung) and when you come back to the farm you will receive about 16 power seeds! you will get about 1600z~2400z per day doing this!!

rating: 1.00/5.00 Earn money,guild titles and Pokke points

If you think fighting the monsters and wyverns in both the elder quests and those in the Guild Hall is hard,why not go to the Training School and slay the monsters and wyverns there?They have relatively lower HP and are easy to slay.(if you can't you're a noob)Spam the training quests,especially those in which you have to practice slaying monsters and wyverns.You can earn guild titles,as well as zenny and Pokke points!!!

rating: --- Easiest Way To Kill/Repel Lunastra or Teostra

These Elder Dragons are actually very easy once you get rid of the Fire Aura that surrounds them.
To do this you need -

A Greatsword with raw damage between 700-960.
Ok, start the quest and find the Elder Dragon. After you have properly learned it's attacks then get ready to fight it.
When it is about to do its flamethrower type attack, charge up your Greatsword onto its back legs. This will knock it over easily giving you some free slashes on its head to get rid of the Fire Aura.

rating: 5.00/5.00 Easily Gain Large Amounts of Pokke Points

If you really want to rack up the pokke points, then you'll need a bit of patience. With the help of the bonus content available for download, which I believe is the only way to purchase the following items, you can easily earn more than 8k Pokke Points in a single mission. You can find out how to download content in the [Official] Downloads thread.

Buy from the old lady wearing the large backpack, the following items.

20 Firefly
25 Snakebee Larva

You can not buy both items on the same day, so put whatever you did buy in your item box and go on quests until you can buy the other. Now, combine 5 Firely and 5 Snakebee Larva together and you'll have 5 Goldenfish Bait. Buy five more Firely, then set out on the Forest and Hills gathering quest either from the elder or the Guild Hall. At this point you should have the following in your inventory.

20 Firefly
20 Snakebee Larva
5 Goldenfish Bait
Combo Books are optional

Now when you start the quest, to your right at the lake will be fish. There may be Goldenfish there already, there may not. If you see no Goldenfish, which by the namesake you should easily spot, then exit and re enter the camp area. Simply go fishing for Goldenfish until you run out of bait, then deliver the Paw Pass Ticket. Although I must mention, never take the Paw Pass unless you're ready to end the quest. Otherwise you'll just end up feeling stupid over the simple mistake. Hope this helps.

rating: --- Easy break Lao's Horn

Using a Great sword, simply charge it a few times. The horn should be destroyed after a few hits.

rating: --- easy kirin for any class (chief, guild Hr3, G-class? the heck with it).

Kirin may seem like it's hard to kill and stuffs but it's weak to 2 elements of hunting, sleep and bomb!
bring along 3 lg. brrl bombs + 2 lg. brrl bombs+ and some sm. brrl bombs (if you wanna be more assured, then bring some barrels and gunpowder too). along with sandman finsword, all you need to do is strike kirin a few times while using hit& run tactics. and when it falls asleep, use the lg. brrl bomb+ and detonate it. it'll knock the kirin further away and leave it wide open, so strike its horn some more. but in return the kirin'll be in rage after this. so wait a bit and do the same tactic. easy and worthful. (not suggested for expert hunters coz this proves no challenge at all -_-!!!)

rating: --- easy money (the proffessional way)

is killing a yian kut ku second nature to you now? then by all meens go out there and kill one. now i realise there are ways to earn more cash at a time, but the following method is quicker then anything else ive tried (not that ive tried many

go to the second star quest and select the kut ku killing quest (or go to the three star quest "slay the great kut ku" to do it in forest in hills) and kill the kut ku. carve it out all u can. "3 times unless armor special reduces or increases"

get the cash from the quest then sell the materials u got from the kut ku and the reward box. however you should probly leave 10 scales, shells, and webbings, cus u need a signifigant ammount to use later on.

if you dont feel like killing a kut ku then by all meens kill something worth more, but make sure it doesnt take so long that you dont get as much as you would if you just killed kut ku's.

example, in the time it would take to kill a black gravios, you could kill like 5 or more kut ku's, obviously thats more money then the 1 gravios so the most cash in 1 isnt always the best. think speed, not bulk.

remember to sell the materials you get, but save enough to were you have plenty for crafting uses. the number you reserve is up to you. this method is fun, worth the time, quick, and gives you just a bit more personal wyvern slaying experience and knowlodge.

got it memorised?

rating: --- Easy silver los armor set.

Theirs an easy way to obtaian the set but its very time consuming,instead of trying to kill the silver los just go on tail runs you can get every part you need from the tail such as,carapace,scale+,rathalos ruby but to get some other parts you'll need to go on a g-los tail run for the rathalos plate and the brainstem.

rating: --- Gold and Silver getting weak?

There's a simple thing to notice when silver los and gold ian are close to death.(other than limping)They stop going into rage as much as they used to and it takes a lot of more hits to send them into it. Sometimes it seems they stop going into rage. But they will after a lot of pain is deatlt. So when they get weak they'll become a little easier to fight.

rating: --- Hiring Felyne chefs

You can hire:
1st felyne right at the start of the game
2nd felyne after completing 2* urgent quest(elder)
3rd felyne after completing 3* urgent quest(elder)
4th felyne after completing 5* urgent quest(elder)
5th and final felyne after completing HR3 urgent quest(guild)

rating: --- How to get 10 Heavy Armor Spheres at once!

As you may know, Heavy armor spheres are very hard to get. There is a way to get 10 at once,

Do all the 3-8* Guild quests (Including the unlockable Fatalis'), and then a speech bubble appears above the Guild Master. Talk to her, and you recieve a nice present: 10 Heavy Armor Spheres.

rating: 2.00/5.00 How to get better at MHF2

Right what you do to get better is, you first have MHF1 and make a character that is really good, then you import your character into the new one, and buy lots of good armour and weapons, with the plus class tickets that you got from tarding in your rarity 6 and 7 weapons that you had on MHF1 the ticket can then be used to make raere equipment, then when the weapon/armour appears you only need to spend tickets instead of items. Also I dont mean to brag, but i have full Rathalos S at full level except the greaves which also are their highest level, and also i have grind claymore, which is

>>>>Attack 960
>>>>Shapness Alot of green
>>>>Def +12

Also i am HR 6 and dual tigrex isnt as hard as it sounds, jut use two other bowman (gunners class for the specific kind) and one melle person.

rating: 5.00/5.00 How to kill a Gia,Veloci,Gen or Iodrome

When you located the drome you want to hunt,try using a long sword.I used a "Bone katana wolf".Hit it by the side,it is more effective.Remember to bring loads of potions n press R to dash for your lives.Since there very agile monsters,try to stay not too far,not too near to it,it may jump on you.After 7-8 hits it will probably run away.GIVE CHASE!After 2-3 hits it will die.Remember to carve things out of it,you can get pretty rare stuff.Happy hunting.

rating: --- How to know when gold and silver rath's are weak.

When fighting Silver Los and Gold Ian watch the way they act. When weak they stop goong into rage mode. So now you can trap them better.

rating: 4.00/5.00 Knowing when Diablos is weak

If a Diablos is coming to his end, he gets enraged almost everytime you attack it.
If you want to capture it, attack it a couple minutes more.

rating: 2.67/5.00 Kushala Daoro and its path to death!!

Ok,this is my first time so bare with me. The Kusha is the 1st Elder Dragon u versue ,but also one of the most annoying.To get rid of the wind just break his crown or cut his tail off. After that continue fighting it. Eventually it will run away. Do the same mission again and you might have a chance to slay it. P.S BRING ALOT OF FLASHBOMBS TRUST ME WHEN HE FLYS HE NEVER COMES DOWN ON HIS OWN.

rating: --- Kushala the easy way. <img src=

Beating kushala daora is also easy (like kirin, and other eldr drgn.)

For this metalic drgn, all you need is a Gs with a total of at least 700 - 800 raw attack power (applies with the 5 stars guild one). Bring along some flashies if you want the battle to be a lot faster cause he flies most of the time (-_-!!!)

When you're gonna face kushala, make sure you get the first hit, it'll somewhat cut out the chance of it using its wind barrier (which needs drgn wind breaker skill to be apprehended). And so after that, just bash the head a few times approx. about 4 times, and it'll flinch.

When kushala flinches, he'll be downed for a few seconds, aim good and charge your Gs to his head. It'll make him get into rage sometimes so be ready to block. wait for another opening and slash the head once, and.... it'll flinch again (a head-lock strategy?!).

Do a charge attack on its head again and repeat the whole process again and again and again till it fled the battle or even died (if it starts to fly, use the flashies as you all know. )

easy and worth it^^, recomended if you're collecting eldr. drgn bones to use in the farm's cave.

rating: --- Monster Eye Colour

Certain monster's eye colours will change depending if they are in Rage Mode.
Monster's such as Tigrex and Akantor will change eye colour when in Rage Mode.

Normal Eye Colour = Green
Rage Mode Eye Colour = Red

Also, when monster's are in rage mode, their, overall statuses will increase and they will be generally faster and more aggressive.

rating: 1.75/5.00 Monsters abandoning Quests

In some cases, monsters will look like they are leaving the in-game map, if you have paintballed them. If this does occur, do not worry, but just wait for a bit and they should return.

rating: --- More About Affinity

It stated that Low Affinity does lesser damage and High Affinity does more damage right? Well, there's more than just that.

High Affinity causes more damage and kills your monster quickly. However, in doing so, the monster does not flinch so often. But you get to kill them faster. It's like a quick and painless death.

Low Affinity on the other hand, does lesser damage but the pain you inflict upon the monster is great thus resulting into making them flinch/stunmble/roar out in pain more often. Downside to this is you don't kill them as quickly.

Now it's time for you to choose? Use something that quickly subdues your opponent yet causes little pain? Or deliver slow, steady, suffering blows to your enemy? Either any of those or you can remain neutral if you want!

rating: 5.00/5.00 Rubies & Plates = Easy

A quick easy way for getting Rathalos or Rathaian plates and rubies.

Using this method i can get up to two rubies and a plate at a time.

First off, you gotta be HR6 and have the Silver Los and Gold Ian mission's. Take shock traps and tranq bombs. Break off every part (Head spikes, wing spikes and tail) then weaken it untill it's nearly dead, lay a trap, throw your bombs and if it falls asleep, mission done.

It's a 80% chance, quite high.

rating: 5.00/5.00 The dive of Invincibility

Most veterans will know of this, but when a Monster is charging towards you hit X just before the Monster hits you. You'll do a dive through the air, making you temporarily invincible. If you want to increase the invincibility time, get Evade armour such as Obituary S.

rating: --- the power of the sword and sheild

most people that play monster hunter like the greatsword becouse it does damage in 1 hit equivelent to many sword attacks, but at the cost of their safety and accuracy. my number one choice is the sword becouse it allows you to get in and attack quickly, and get safe just as quickly.

also you can block anything with the sheild without dulling your weapon, my personal choice and favorite weapon in monster hunter 1 is the wolf blade (upgraded raven blade made of garuga) and on monster hunter 2 is upper battleaxe.

both are sword and sheild, quick and powerful, and good at poisoning my enemys with constant attacks, this is surely the choice of champions.

note: in monster hunter 1 ive killed 50 garugas and countless everything else, in 2 i have full kirin armor and im currently on a monoblos killing spree just cus i want cool lookin monoblos armor. also ive killed the kushala daora, chameleos, obviously like 10 kirins, and have yet to try the other ones, so yea im no noob at this game. you can trust my advice

rating: --- the sheild blocks all

there are few things the sheild cannot block. it blocks any melee based attack from any wyvern or elder dragon. it can block a roar from any wyvern/elder dragon, the flash of light from a gypceros, you name it.

so far the only thing i cant block with it is a lighning shock from a khezu were it follows on the ground and splits into 3 or 4 volts. you know the one i meen.

i remember theres 1 more thing it cant block but i cant remember what that is lol. also if u dont feel like blockin then u can always leap. you see, if there is that yellow eye on ur screen signifying somethin big sees you, if ur runnin anywere but towards it and you try to roll, you leap. during hangtime in the air, your untouchable, even if touched =D

disclaimer: i use the sheild and sword, i dont know if other things block as well as its sheild so when u read this know that while it could work for anything, im only applying it to the sword and sheild. also blockin takes stamina, so if your fresh outta stamina...dont try to block.

got it memorised?

rating: --- Tip For Beginners

This is a tip for beginners. Always do the Training School to decide which weapon you like best. It allows you to see which is easier to use.

rating: --- To kill a Tigrex

When you first play dont use any equipment like flash bombs or shock traps. You want to first try and cut off tail then when he always gets in rage dont even attack until after rage. After he gets in rage five times then use flash bombs. After he gets in rage five more times he will go and sleep. Then set shock trap in front(but not too close to shock). Next put two lg. barrel bomb+ by head and sm. barrel bomb. Then get behind shock trap and as soon as he gets trapped hit him as many times even when trap is over. This will work cause I have used the same strategie and have killed 12 Tigrex so far.

rating: --- Tower Safe Spot!

Many people have problems in the tower, since you cannot retreat, and its difficult to heal, try this.
Paralell to the entrance theres a safe corner, Rathalos and rathian cannot charge into it, and i've yet to test with Teo and Luna, but it IS a safe spot (except fireballs).

and very useful for healing.
Heres a small diagram of were:

(_) = entrance

• = safe spot

rating: --- Unlimited Pickaxes

To get unlimited materials for the Old Pickaxe, initiate the first Village Elder Quest (1*) called "Mountain Herb Picking". In Area 3, there is a Bone gathering spot on the East side of the area. That gathering spot gives unlimited Bone items. In Area 6, there is a gathering spot in southern part of the area that gives unlimited Stone Items. You can gather 99 of an item in under 7 minutes through constant gathering. Combining Stone with Bone gives an Old Pickaxe. With this method, you can get unlimited pickaxes for mining the area. Note however that the Kushala Daora skin in Area 8 that can be mined from will only give Khezu Whelps.

rating: --- waking up

You know how when you go back to your base to sleep if your low on healing items or just wanna conserve them well i got something to speed up that process. If you do a online mission with atleast 1 other person and both are you are in there have one of you sleep on the bed and once the green flash is done kick them out the bed with select to bypass the waking up from the rest/nap animation which will save atleast 10-15seconds.

rating: --- Weapon Decisions: Melee(Classics)

Ok,this is for all those hunters who have trouble picking weapons before missions. So this will help u choose your weapon. I will be doing melee weapons first.The original ones.

Sword&Shield= This is a great weapon for beginners.It is fast and easy to use but it doesnt have good raw power.But they make up for it with attributes and ailments*This is recommended for fast moving monsters.(YianKutKu)

Duels=Same as sword&shield except with out the ability of guarding.Also recommended for fast moving monsters.(Congalala,Blangonga)

GreatSwords=This is a kickass weapon!!It is slow but it is very powerful.It also has elemental abilities such as Dragon,Fire,etc.This is recommended for any kind of monster or elder dragon. Lance=This is a very strong but hard to use weapon to use.Dodgeing is the main problem.But it has good abilities. It could charge and attack while guarding.And it can be infused* with an element.Recommended to slowmoving monsters or hyper monsters.(Gravios,Basarios)

Hammer=This is the ultimate in power.This weapon has high attack power and the ability to charge.It also could smash the CRAP out of a monster AKA you can stun it with out a flashbomb.Only if u hit it alot in the head.It is slow though.This is one of my favs.Can be infused with an element.Recommended for any monster.

That is IT.These are all of the Classic weapons.I will be making long range and new weapons soon.Any Questions just ask.
*Ailments:status effects(Poison,Sleep)
*Infused:combined or added

rating: 5.00/5.00 White And Crimson Fatalis Hint

OK, everyone probably finds the meteor/lighting attack they do extremely annoyin, but theres away to avoid besides rolling away and getting lucky run behind the fatalis like much behind his hips lightings/meteors occur most likely beside his hips so get passed the hips, and your free pretty much, the meteors/lighting never goes passed his hips

rating: --- White Fatalis Safe Spot

TOWER
I'm sure you are all annoyed by the powerful lightning of the White Fatalis.

When he goes up to the top of the tower to do his all around lightning attack just go to the very corner that looks like a triangular edge. It is in the top left corner.

This works but I'm a gunlancer and I block in the corner just to be safe, but I've never been hit once, and I've killed it a couple dozen times.
