Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Tips and tricks

Patience pays off

Monster Hunter is not an easy game and especially the greenhorns among you that will be felt in the first urgent quest. In general: Don’t give up immediately, but take the time. Patience is the Alpha and Omega, to warm up with Monster Hunter. Also in the duels with the huge beasts, it may well happen that you have almost taken a half hour on the prey and the monster pretending it would not even itch your shots. Again: Don’t give up, but remain concentrated, make on and on, and at some point it will begin to limp and to run away and you can look forward soon on raw materials for a new armor. We can at this point don’t say it often enough: Stay patient and you will understand the appeal of MH.

Collects, there's no tomorrow

To successfully complete a hunt, you will hardly do without the use of items, and also for the crafting of new weapons and armor you need a variety of different resources. Therefore, you should definitely get used to search your environment and collect at the appropriate points. With a pickaxe you can break down at rock crystals ores, capture beetles and butterflies network with other small creatures. All other collection points you can exploit without additional tools. The gathering is an essential part of the game system - not for nothing are offered with the harvest tours missions in which you can fill your bags to your heart's content. Clear: Many objects such as potions you can buy Zennys against the merchants. However, you should pick you money in the long term rather for crafting when you do badly needed there, especially later in the game, and would rather pick up the components by hand. This you can also do parallel to a hunt.

Find your favorite weapon

Choosing the right weapon is crucial for the masters of the combat system. Each weapon has its own advantages and disadvantages, and differs greatly from the others. So use the time at the beginning of the game to find your personal favorites 2-3 for this is the game in the campaign even 14 "tutorial quests" that deal exclusively with the weapon types. In general: For those who prefer fast acting the way and stands on a long combo chains, accesses the short double swords or the long sword, it is more likely to be a difficult and this powerful weapon, Great Sword, Hammer and morph ax are your best options, and for the Ranged offer at bow and crossbow.

Chasing is better with a full stomach

An empty stomach is on the hunt extremely counter-productive, because you miss so many bonuses to health, stamina and status values. Therefore, sit before any quest at the table in street cooking and seek you out a tasty meal. Fresh ingredients that could increase your endurance at the next quest, ingredients with star bring a bonus to the health bar. Moreover, any combination influenced in any way your status values - this you can read after selecting a meal on the bottom of the screen. With coupons and gourmet vouchers you can also increase the quality of food once - that is why you should take a break this is best for very serious quests. Again and again you ask the cook also about meeting some side missions - after he improved the ingredients stages. So do not wait and check off these side quests. Later in the game you are grateful for every good food!

Pack your hunting bag together

Preparation is half the battle and who can forget the, at the end there pretty stupid if you suddenly run out of potions or whetstones. Therefore, pack before each quest starting your first game bag together. You should always have enough potions, mega potions, whetstones and fried steaks. Travel in their territories with extreme conditions, forget in no case cold or hot drinks, and if you put yourself on a fishing mission, take necessarily a shock trap and pitfall and a few calming bombs. Optimally prepared for all eventualities hunters have always there pickaxes and beetles networks. Plunges you into their heavier quests, it is recommended that in addition to the 10 potions and 10 mega potions still take 10x honey to combine the normal potions to 10 other mega potions. In addition, you should at the beginning of each quest the local storage box by medicines, rations and other useful stuff to browse.

You think at this point perhaps "Actually, I just wanted to hunt, do not go on vacation". There you have of course absolutely right. But don’t worry: How complicated is not the whole preparation. And at the latest when you have forgotten the preparation once, you will realize how important a clean sorted hunter pocket.

Let assist you from the Felynes

Do you play the offline campaign, you should in any case your Felyne companion with you on the hunt. Early in the game you unlock the first, and later as a host of other added - two can follow you in the quest. So you are not completely on your own in the single player campaign, but have two comrades here to help. This is one of advantages because the attention of the target monster is distributed on three characters and their order during the fight takes short break to heal you or to sharpen the weapon. On the other hand you support the comrades’ active with healing or status buffs and attack depending on the type and independently on large or small monsters.

Don’t go alone to hunt!

At the comrades panel in your house you can send missions to hunt from a specific date Wild comrades. Upon successful completion, return them back with various monsters residues from which you can tinker new equipment for the crew at the blacksmith. Send your comrades regularly and don’t forget to equip your Top companion appropriately - this ensures that the companions are a real help in battles against stronger monsters. You should play online and go to second on a quest, you also accompany there a top-Mate support. Another reason to strengthen the companion regularly.

Use the duplication object 

Especially, later in the game you will need vast amounts of resources to produce or to combine certain items. These include honey, various insects and berries and other items. Theoretically, you can collect all these within the quests, but this takes lots of time. To put that into perspective, you have the old merchant in the village for a small fee to caravan points the way to duplicate objects.

Post their specific object types on several "rounds", that can reproduce quests. Use the offer specifically for honey, because honey is essential to combine mega potions, of which you will need a lot later in the game. In between the trader depends also side missions to complete those additional gains - do this as soon as possible in order to get the most out of the object.

Customize and build a proper defense

The making and assembling the correct armor sets is an essential part of any Monster Hunter game. Each piece of equipment has various skills levels that you can see them at the blacksmith or the fitting screen (eg attack +4, +2 food, perceiving +3). These skills are activated when your total equipment reaches a value of 10. Sit the individual pieces of equipment so together so that you activate as many as possible and reasonable skills - the active skills can be reviewed in the status screen. Suppress when selecting the part for more information on the individual skills, the Y button.

It is a complex system that is internalized not quite as fast. At the beginning it is not so very important, however, later, a variety of skills can be decisive battle!

To illustrate the importance of the skills we have listed a few here:

• Attack: Increases the damage you exercise in hits on the monster.
• Defense: Increases your overall total defense against attacks.
• Perceiving: Indicates when a monster can be caught (point on the map is lit red and white on). You must have previously marked it with a paint ball.
• Quick Setup: Reduces the time required for setting up traps.
• Hearing: Prevents the inability to move the clamor of large monsters.
• Feasting: Increases the effect of objects for stamina regeneration, eg steaks.
• Gift: Negates the effect of poison, that you can not be poisoned.
• Ranger: You see the card, without having to carry the card object in the inventory.

There are a huge number of possible skills, each equipment item offers various values. At the beginning it is worthwhile to assemble a complete set, eg a Nerscylla set that consists only of Nerscylla equipment parts. Later, however, it is useful to put together a set of individual, independent objects to activate strong and useful skills.

The blacksmith you can forge beyond decorations in the form of jewels, which also have skills values. This you can then install into the vacant slots in your equipment.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Tips to high-level quests

From the "end" of the history of the single player campaign or hunter rank 4 in multiplayer mode you reach the high level quests. These differ greatly from the low order. The biggest difference is due to the difficulty: Even supposedly weak monsters like the Gypceros is in the high-rank quests (HR quests) suddenly a real threat and depending on the quest, it is possible encounter more than one, even to meet four large monsters.

Therefore, you should as soon as possible establish a high-level armor. These are usually indicated by the suffix "S" or "U", if this is the armor a monster subspecies - with equipment of HR exclusive monsters like the Deviljho drops the letter "S" away. Crucial here is primarily the enormously increased defense value. Even if you have been painstakingly put together a complete low rank Rathian: Get rid of it! You need to fix as possible an HR armor, otherwise you have no chance in the fight.

Another fundamental difference between LR and HR quests that will drop you off in the HR quests in a random area of hunting around, so don’t start at the base camp. It may happen that you start directly in the field, in which the target monster is just. Want plaster, mark the monster with a paint ball and ashamed of not just disappear for the meal to another area. If you need a map, you can find it in the storage compartment in the base camp, other supplies such as medicines, rations or like will only be delivered after some time. So here you are provided solely to you and therefore you should never go out unprepared - Mega potions are the least!

Finally, the high-level quests are quests in which you meet for the first time on so-called monster subspecies, such as the Emerald Congalala or Hell Zinogre. The subtypes are characterized by an increased agility and aggression, altered starch values and often by other elements and element weaknesses, but they are usually identical in terms of behavior.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Combat System

A fight in Monster Hunter is long and sometimes very exhausting. It is important in any case that you get away maintain the concentration over the entire duration of the fight and that you remain patient because your booty arises not just like that, but continues long and bravely defended. Elementary to the existence of any struggle are the right timing when attacking and dodging and understanding of your enemy. You will learn in the course of the game, to read the individual monsters and their attacks to look ahead. Fight against 3-4 times a Great Jaggi and you realize immediately when it tackles the brutal body check. It is not a mindless memorization, but forward thinking and doing what is required in the fighting in Monster Hunter.

Depending on the monster, it is often useful to keep in his back or on the side and must be avoided at the front of his head, since most monsters use strong bite attacks.

You should already well verse with the chosen weapon in heavy fighting in any case - do it within the Weapons tutorial quests Quest Level 1. Hold the gun whenever possible in the sharp area (which it recognizes from the weapons coloring of the symbol in the upper left corner) and it sharpens, if necessary, in time with the grindstone after. Blunt weapons do not only less damage, but also often bounce from the armor of the monster from. Important: Even block with the gun to ensure that it loses its sharpness, so dodging is more practical.

The sharpening of the weapon costs valuable time as well as taking a drink and eating a steak, which often don’t have you in the rush of battle. Choose the right time so smart and proactive in order not to be attacked during the process from the monster. If necessary, you distort the process hastily in another area.

Monster Ride

New Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the opportunity to ride monsters and they absolutely on the floor. Move this simple down from an elevated platform or a wall on the monster. Alternatively, you can also repel from the ground and jump directly to a monster with the Glaive insect with the key combination R + A. Are you on it, you have a little mini-game consist in which at rest phases (green icon) A and roar at you, etc. (yellow icon) with R hold fast. Refit the green monster bar icon, you will be thrown down. Fill the bar completely, you force the monster for a few seconds on the floor.

Break Body Parts

Various materials you will receive only if you destroy specific body parts of the monster. How can detach or break their wings example tails. To do this, you simply need to turn on the corresponding part of the body - sounds simple, but it is absolutely not, since most monsters move quite quickly. The easiest way you do it yourselves by- case brings the monster (eg climbing) and then collectively start on the body part or by using a distance weapon with which you can reach the wing. If the body is damaged, a refractive noise and is signaled optically characterized accordingly.

Catch Monster

For some quests, it is not necessary to kill a monster, but to capture it. For this purpose, it needs a certain event - either a shock or a pitfall trap - and at least two sedatives bombs. The challenge in capturing is to wound the monster so strong that it has no strength and falls asleep in the trap. If the monster is too strong, it dies and the quest is failed; you have not wounded it enough, it escapes from the trap and is resistant within this quest over the same event type. Therefore, you should always carry both types of cases with you when you move to a fishing quest. To lay a trap, also takes several seconds, which is why you should weigh yourself in complete safety when you start the process - otherwise it can happen that you attack the monster at this time.

But when is now the right time for the event? In general, you should pay attention to signs of weakness of your loot: If there are still frequent and stamina regenerates, this is a sign of weakness, but not necessarily unique. However, when it hobbles out of the area, that's your cue: Now is the right time to catch the monster. Once it has fallen into the trap, you have to throw it only two sedatives bombs.

To simplify the whole process work skills perception and quick setup. The former shows up on by flashing the Monster marker on the map that the monster is ready to be caught, the latter reduces the construction time for both types of cases.

To catch monster is actually important not only for fishing quests, but also recommended in normal hunting quests, because you get more rewards in the form of materials for successfully captured monster. Therefore, it is also much more difficult undertaking than simply hunt.

Chose Right Weapon

With 14 fundamentally different types of weapons MH4U offers a wide selection - but which one is right for you? That depends entirely on the type of player. In general, all weapons have their own advantages and disadvantages. Right at the beginning of the campaign are 14 weapons tutorials posted on Quest board in which you, the operation of all types of weapons is brought closer. Does this tutorial and decide as early as possible for 1-2 types of weapons that you like best - several times to change later in the game to the type of weapon, is not recommendable, given the high cost and forge the challenging difficulty.

In general, large and heavy weapons such as the Great Sword or Hammer extremely strong, but in reverse are also extremely slow. Light weapons such as sword and shield or dual swords are extremely fast, but comparatively weak. Hybrid weapons like the Morph-ax or the elite blade connect two weapon types with each other and are therefore particularly recommended for players who want to combine different fighting styles into a weapon. Rang weapons are a completely different world and in single-player missions more of a hindrance, because you need a lot of time to aim - that in multiplayer with a team agreed quite reasonable. A new addition is the type of weapon Insect Glaive, a kind of baton with integrated (K) insect. With this weapon can you perform melee attacks using the insect as a projectile and even repel you from the ground to jump on monsters.

Take the time to start the game and play the tutorials for you to familiarize yourself with the different types of weapons and select those that match your playing style.

Similar to Velocidrome, Gendrome and Great Jaggi the Iodrome is the alpha male of a Ioprey-pack. It is a fairly simple opponent whose behavior is roughly equivalent to that of the Gendrome. Special attacks can not handle the Iodrome, but he often spits poison, which is why you should not draw without appropriate antidotes in the fight, and calls for distress brought about new Ioprey. A clever tactic does not need in this fight. You can destroy the comb.

(19) Gravios

The Gravios is a huge, extremely well armored Flugwyvern. To defeat him, you have to be very careful and tactically - otherwise you are going to fight this monster quickly to the ground. Despite his clumsiness and the return of his attacks of Gravios is very strong and is able to inflict enormous damage to you in one hit. Take care not frontally to stand front of him - then you are namely an easy target for his rush attack and the blast of fire that he spat at irregular intervals. This jet of fire puts you in addition to fire, so soaked him best by a well-timed lunge.

It is not easy for novice hunters to meet the Gravios because its strong armor block out almost all attacks weak weapons; therefore abide most of the time close to his legs and beat on this one to bring him down. Here, however, remain cautious not to be lulled by his gas expulsion or set on fire. Alternatively, you can also keep trying to ride him through a climbing jump and thereby force on the ground. Have you brought the Gravios a few times to the ground, hang of it and can survive the rest of the fight without major problems. You can cut off the tail as well as damage the two wings, legs, back plates and the head - the belly.

(20) Seltas Queen

Although the name led to false assumptions: The Seltas Queen is superior in all respects anything but an easy opponent and the small Seltas. It resembles a giant scorpion and moves - unlike the male - to its powerful, thick armored feet on the ground continue. In most cases, you can meet the Queen, accompanied by a male to - if not, it comes from fragrances to attract a male, to assist in the fight. Should you fall into these fragrances, you can use any items for a while - so don’t forget to bring deodorant spray.

Sometime "fused" in the midst of the battle the Queen together with the Seltas an even bigger, even more powerful monsters; about this time you ought to be absolutely careful because everything now follows in the next few minutes could mean your death. The Seltas on the back of the queen dominates some brutal attacks: She has several times in succession with kinky speed towards you or even thrown from Seltas on you, which given its enormous weight can be really hurt. Avoid at this stage any thoughtless attacks and really smite only if ye are sure to not be attacked immediately. Have you separated the two after a while, you should first turn off the annoying Seltas and then devote yourself entirely to the weakened queen. You can break all four legs and cut off the tail with the pliers.

10. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Big Monster: Zinogre, Rathalos, Tigrex, Dah'ren Mohran

(21) Zinogre

If you know the Zinogre already from previous MH games, you know, with what you have expected - if not, you may set a hard and difficult fight. The Zinogre is a very agile and nimble opponent with extremely sharp claws and a penchant for thunder and lightning. In the quiet state of combat is still bearable - here he comes only occasionally three "Thunder Balls" and scrapes you several times in a row with his claws. In between, he tried to charge with energy - this you realize the symbolic whine. Beat at this moment necessarily on him and do your best to abort the process!

In this way you can win in which their comparatively easy time with him have her precious minutes. Eventually, however, he has been fully charged with energy and falls into the Rage mode. Fits twice now on, because now the Zinogre is not only much faster and more aggressive, but also depends on increased damage and fits all attacks almost seamlessly together. Keep your distance and attack him only to secure points in time, for example if it is for a short time after jumping on the back or as he lets his "Thunder Ball". His anger phase can last for a few minutes in which you could die at any time, if you are not careful - sometime it is a slap in your weapon from the concept and bring down, then the aggressive phase is over too. You can break the head of the Zinogre and also cut off the tail, the dorsal spines, claws and horns.

Element Weakness: Ice

(22) Rathalos

The Rathalos is the male counterpart to Rathian and even an entire bit stronger than his partner. In essence, the behavior of both is the same, but the Rathalos mastered some additional attacks such as heavy fireballs or a nose dive from the air - he is also a much faster way. It can poison or stun you if you get hit by his claws or the swoop attack as well. It is generally advisable as with the Rathian, not head-to stand directly in front of him and instead of attacking him from the side. You can detach his cock (which cancel out his whip attack) and destroy the head, the wings and back.

Element Weakness: Dragon

(23) Tigrex

The Tigrex is swift and quite strong and is thus comparable opponents such as the Zinogre or Gore Magala in nothing. However, its high agility is not his only brand: Especially dangerous and feared by hunters is his loud cry that makes you not only unable to move, but you can severely hurt even if it is not far enough away. Therefore, depart shortly before the cry necessarily behind the Tigrex or block from the roar - if possible - with your weapon. Otherwise, valid for the entire fight absolute care and concentration. You have to imagine any serious attack of the Tigrex, if possible, to even have a fighting chance.

Respect absolutely sure not to get caught by his jump attack with subsequent tail whip and run away immediately when charging you. With a little flair you can quickly analyze and avoid time his behavior. Care to keep a greater distance between you and the Tigrex: The Beast often throw heavy boulders by you that you also upset. We recommend in all cases, to climb the Tigrex as often as possible and to separate his cock, as this reduces the radius of its whip attacks. And do not worry: With a little patience you get this. You can also damage the head and front claws.

Element Weakness: Thunder Dragon

(24) Dah'ren Mohran

This battle is very different from than what you are accustomed with Monster Hunter. On the hunt for the Dah'ren Mohran you shall in no common hunting ground sent, but be in the first phase of the struggle on a sand ship. And not without reason, because Dah'ren is a gigantic monster that would fit into a normal hunting area. Therefore, you must also take a different approach than usual shoot in Phase 1 first with the ballista and cannons on the Dah'ren -. Munitions can be found on the left and right on the ship. The ballista you can also target the horn to destroy it, so you have the same the side quest hunting mission. Once the Dah'ren "docks" on the ship, you can attack with melee weapons his flank. Arrows pointing to the edge, that's your sign for climbing onto: Runs just on the monster over and climbed his back. There you can to various boulders collect ores (so do not forget the pickaxe!) And also violate a place of his back.

Jump to the work is done easily from the back to the sea of ​​sand, you will simply return to the ship. This concept draws the entire first phase through until you play the report after some time that the final phase of the fight begins. In this second phase, you are on solid ground and you see the Dah'ren Mohran from a distance run toward you. Here you now have two options: You can either use the ballista and cannons to fire at him from a distance, or approach him and attack his huge body in melee.

Our experience has shown that the combat is more effective and promising, especially if you are playing in multiplayer. Conceded the Dah'ren a heavy hit, he is briefly violated there - then you can climb into his mouth and collect rare materials like monster guts. After a while Dah'ren Mohran falls lifeless to the ground and you have won.

11. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Big Monster: Shagaru Magala, Daimyo Hermitaur, Emerald Congalala

(25) Shagaru Magala

You remember certainly good at Gore Magala. This is important because these memories help you in the fight against its adult form, the Shagaru Magala. Shagaru is not only much larger and more impressive than Gore, but also many times stronger and just as agile and nimble. You fight against the Shagaru in a separate hunting area in which there is no possibility to withdraw, and where only returns a single rock, behind the cover you can search for sharpening or healing. So prepare yourself for a long, adrenaline-fueled fight that demands all your abilities. In general, the behavior and movement patterns of Shagaru are almost identical to those of Gore; his mouth and blows virus balls, however, depend on increased damage over a larger area.

Keep yourselves in no way directly in front of him, when he's not lying on the ground - a single hard hit by him could cost you loose half your life bar! It's best to ride, by stationed behind him and his tail or wing attacks - it works especially if he just fixed one of your companions. Take in the fight absolutely zero berries, to avoid being attacked by the virus that prevents automatic healing of your bleeding damage. Otherwise, we can not but advise you to proceed as well as against Gore, ie constantly to keep moving to keep as possible behind him and always ready to evade or block - here is a corresponding endurance management essential for success. The fight is difficult, so stay the whole time patient and concentrated. You can catch the Shagaru way, not (traps have no effect) - that you can damage his horns and wings twice and cut off the tail.

Element Weakness: Fire, Dragon

(26) Daimyo Hermitaur

The Daimyo Hermitaur is a sort of giant hermit crab protects with a Monoblos Skull and accordingly is also very well armored. Vulnerable, he is actually only on the exposed front - there you are, however, also a perfect target for his attacks scissors. The trick, then, lies exactly then to attack the daimyo forward when he can not defend himself, so has just completed another attack. A particular difficulty in the fight is that the daimyo, as befits a crab, almost exclusively moved laterally and therefore you usually hold out his cover.

So you have to observe exactly when he will stand still and can be attacked. Although you can "shield", ie the Monoblos Skull, damage twice, but here you are an easy target for his rear attack in which he attempts to impale you with the horn of the skull. If you directly in front of the Daimyo, the probability is high that he will direct a large jet of water upon you; this can block or dodge either by a plunge. You should still be made, you take a short time water damage and lose stamina faster. You can destroy the shearing of the Daimyo and damage the tank twice.

(29) Brachydios

The Brachydios is a pretty strong monster that lives mainly in areas with extreme conditions, ie the volcanic depression and the frost by sea - therefore think depending on the hunting grounds of the cold or hot drinks. It differs from all the other monsters in the game especially the fact that he slime on the floor spread with his thick arms that explodes after a short time and in contact with fire. You will be affected by these explosions, you take a lot of fire damage, so keep your distance from the slime puddles. On the other hand even "slimy", avoid as far as possible in contact with fire and wait until the mucus has dissolved.

Most attacks of Brachydios are designed for the distribution of mucus, which is why he strikes most of the time with his arms. Occasionally he pushes his mighty horn into the earth and causes large radius explosions. A further leap attack is part of his repertoire. All of these attacks, however, are relatively easy to predict, so you can dodge mostly good with decent stamina management. You can destroy the horn and the arms and cut off the tail of the Brachydios, but he will continue to distribute mucus.

(30) Cephadrome

The Cephadrome is the alpha male of the Cephalos and prefers to live in desert areas. The most of the fight, he spends under the ground - so you have to catch him when he jumps out of the sand and sit for a short time remain. In general, this is a pretty easy battle against a relatively uncomplicated opponent, but this can be stressful, that the Cephadrome warp again and again under the earth. He commands a rush attack and a strong Sandstrom attack, moreover, no dangerous tricks. With a little patience you should be able to easily kill this monster.

Also dangerous are his heavy lashes with its tail. If you have previously fought in another Monster Hunter before a Diablos, you should be familiar with behavior and attack patterns of Monoblos. It is recommended to first separate the tail to overturn the whip attacks, and the Monoblos mainly to attack on the wings when you are fairly well protected here before most of his attacks. You can damage the large horn on the head and both wings.

Deviljho

The Deviljho is one of the strongest and most feared monsters in the whole game and reminds his powerful body and small arms outward to a Tyrannosaurus Rex. To a large risk of Jho is mainly due to its heavy tail, with whom he performs many attacks, and by his strong teeth. Despite his appearance, he is a very fast monster in battle often running toward you, and whose attacks can be difficult to dodge. To defeat him, is anything but simple - yet we give you here a few tips on how you should proceed. Generally it is a good idea as soon as possible to separate the tail, as the Jho thereby loses balance and falls more frequently; also with whip attack is then severely weakened. The safest is you when you come back to again close at his legs - in no case you should directly in front of him! Particular caution should be exercised when he gets in the Rage mode and red lights. At this stage, it will emit radiation that can cause damage to dragons and cover a large part of the area. These can block though, the Dodge, however, very difficult, which is why you should definitely are rather behind or beneath it. You can poison poisoned meat or paralyze briefly with paralyzing flesh, also you can lure him with any kind of meat into the established traps the Deviljho. The fight, given the strength of Jho take a while, so stay focused and consistently draws you in case of need for healing in another area back.
