Monster Hunter World: IceboRnE (II)

[Corrderio]

Behemoth is a pain because there are a lot of bads. Plenty of times when I tried I got gored by him in the later phases and nobody did jack shit

[Cyn]

Viper's new more aggressive poison is still negated by 3 points in poison resist skill. It really trivializes the fight.

[Rhyis.]

new kulve armour gives guts and free meal secret. its pretty crap all around lol
also you upgrade all your old hr kjarr and taroth weapons into mr equivalents exactly like you do with armour and armour spheres

taroth weapons count as 1 armour piece towards guts/free meal secret
kjarr weapons only gives you normal critical element/status, not true critical

[Cyn]

Alpha head has FE/AU 3 but no slots. If the LBGs are OK I could see doing Kjarr weapon & alpha head with 3pc Safi.

[silverdragontyr]

Kjarr weapons can get custom upgrades. For most of the DB they have equal element or only slightly less, with around 30 more attack. Using Safi x5 armor with the crit element seems to out damage True crit. Math guys tested Taroth Support. Now best LBG.

Most raw weapons aren't better, but elemental weapons are sidegrades if not upgrades. Oh and Kjarr Ice CB gets 1200 element, because of course it does.

[Rhyis.]

so the only kjarr db i dont have is thunder. thought i'd try my hand at the new elder melder... 50k points later i still dont have it.

[silverdragontyr]

Same only with Water.

Just downloaded the update. MW and chat are now impossible to connect to the internet and I've lost all add on content ingame. I have no spring decorations up, I have no Safi, no Taroth, or access to event quests. I'm still able to get to the Psn store and download shit from there but MHW is just not having it. I'm confused

[Cyn]

MR Kulve is a pretty hard letdown so far outside of a few Kjarr weapons. No AT Nam yet either, only semi-exciting thing in the update IMO is layered weapon expansion.

[Corrderio]

Can you force Kulve to retreat to other areas or will she always leave? Either way it's a really bad fight on Lance due to the fire breath.

[Cyn]

You can block that, but either way lance has always been bad for Kulve because the damage is too low.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Man, Kjarr weapons are a real ball twister. I got a bow with 340 Attack, 360 Blast, and Critical Status on it but my Safi bow has Stam Up 1/2, 330 Attack, blast 170, and 2 4 slots for deco. Safis is clearly better but damn it.

[Khajit]

Finally got a half decent set of dual blades. I think I'm actually better at switch axe now so may be a bit late for that, but I still want to expand my collection. Not sure if I wanna upgrade it to the viper kodachi version (Until I can have both) or start hunting down a sinew. Barioth his kicking my ass despite being easily readable to me. It runs too far away for switchaxe to get it and if I run to it with dual blades it plays keepaway. Might be time to learn the bowguns or staff.

And how do you get the voice chat to work? I can't hear shit from other people and nobody can be arsed to actually say what the push to talk button is when I look this problem up on google.

[Scythiroth]

Jeez, master rank kulve taroth quests have been so many failures for me lol. I have killed it once, but just so many failures or escapes.

[Cyn]

Are you soloing it?

[Corrderio]

Wasn't it meant to be soloed?

[Cyn]

Sure, if you have enough damage to kill it before it escapes. I've never actually seen it escape though honestly, so I'm not sure how much is enough. But I'd imagine the odds of it escaping are a lot lower in MP since only 1-2 people really need to be doing heavy damage.

[Corrderio]

And it depends on weapon. May try with my Blackwing tomorrow and just stun/pierce that big fucking body. That fight is shit on lance since you lose so much valuable time with the lava breath.

[Scythiroth]

Oh my bad, I'm doing it in multiplayer.

[Cyn]

Look for people using ranged weapons. No guarantee they won't faint, but you shouldn't time out unless they're just terrible.
