>How you enjoying the Safi hunts?
After 60 or so slays I've already had my fun with it.

It needs more moves to make it interesting. For the last 10+ years, 99% of playing a lance is

>stab stab stab
>hop
>stab stab stab
>hop
>hold up shield
>stab stab stab
>hop
>stab stab stab

It gets stale, while all the other weapons have lots of fun combos and special abilities. I know there stuff like Offensive Guard which is fun to counter attack stuff with, but it is meh.

>still no dragon DBs
>only been in 2 groups who can kill safi in 1 run and get ~15 reward level
>every other random group struggles, also bows on safi lmao

>even when I go full babysitter mode and have maxed wide range, an hunting hoon to buff the shit out of my team and heal them constantly, they still die to safi multiple times

maybe you should do more damage and stagger safi instead lmao

i never lose anymore when i use safi aquashot, holding aggro and using speed eating helps too

>LS can only tenderize in 2 tries
>tenderizing attack is so fast you can basically do it in one stagger
well that's just fucking weird

Sometimes you just get shitty teams which you gotta bail on before you waste more time

Sometimes I hate this game.

Why do people call tigrex retarded when zinogre is a thing.

Bump

any info on MR layered?

Ask me how I know you're shit at lance

How do you even die using MR gears in HR? Even Extremoth is only bullshit if you can't cancel its Charybdis and miss out on Jump timing

I fucking hope we get some soon.

Savage deviljo can pull some B.S. and kill you, but everything else is pretty trivial

Honestly I don't what I'm more excited for.

Alatreon or Arch-Tempered Shara Ishvalda

I wonder what they'll do to Namiele.

Got too comfy of a build, can't wait to cart over and over again to all of them

After trying and fucking getting my ass handed to me on multiple occasions, I've finally beaten Nerg (normal). Now for some of you this may seem as a joke but I shit you not I've spent the last 3 HOURS trying to solo this fight.

In all honesty I easily could have cleared this a while ago with Def gear and SOS but I wanted to push myself and really prove that I got better with IG. I want to get better at fighting the other basic monsters of the Everstream but holy shit they are all so frustrating to fight.

I've never had such a love/hate bond with a game before and I'm fucking addicted.

How are you suppose to deal with this like when a tempered nergigante goes full ham on you, knocks you down and while you're laying down he's just goes ham and there is no way to go up without dying?

Congrats user. Finally breaking that wall is always the best feeling in Monhun
>Just stagger it lmao
Fair enough I guess especially if its tempered.

Hump this flagship creature?

Delay your wakeup or block are the only answer, I guess?

Based

Safi'jiiva deserved more plot importance for being an adult Xeno. Kind of undermines the danger of xeno if safi is just chilling in his mancave and we don't see much damage compared to Darude Sandstorm or even Velkhana.

Stay down til his next attack. If he's heading for a teammate/palico, get up immediately. If he's attacking you again, get up after the attack.

>importance
he's destroying everything around him, both xeno and safi has to be slayed before they get out of their lairs.

Safi is localized to the Guiding Lands. The whole reason the area exists is because of Safi changing the environment for itself. It wasn't going to leave anytime soon

i for one cannot wait until we get layered weapons
tired of seeing all these ugly ass weapons in my hunts
get better taste, nerds !

can somebody on PC please host the white winds optional quest?

>The whole reason the area exists is because of Safi changing the environment for itself.

The Guiding Lands, and the New World itself are both built upon dead Zoras. They die, and big islands form from the massive corpse/energy. Xeno and Safi are only there because whatever the fuck their species actually is, they soak up energy to live. They are just parasites leeching life force. The islands were already there when the Xeno eggs were laid.

is it worth logging on if you still havent done safi yet?

Its worth doing to kill him at least once. And his armor looks pretty cool. Like an old timey knight suit of armor, but covered in dragon skin. Upgrading his weapons is a real grind though, but its kind of neat that they are basically customizable. It invalidates most other weapons though, because you can just get a safi weapon, and make it into whatever you want.

there are 2 event quests for farming going on - one with zinogre for decos and one with ruiner for spiritvein gems.

why do you keep making /mhwg/ on Yas Forums? go back to /vg/

Safi would be a lot more enjoyable if he didn't have like 4 different flattening attacks that come super fast and leave you vulnerable to a follow up. The aggro gimmick is annoying, and i think what i really hate is how much the fucking asshole turns his head nearly constantly making the head breaks next to impossible.

fuck off to your dead general, no one wants you here

>zinogre deco farming
OH FUCK I DIDN'T KNOW

The only attack Safi has that doesn't have a humongous tell is his quick scope laser where he shoots someone behind him usually.

His leg slams are too fast to deal with if you're attacking it and his body slam can be impossible to dodge effectively if you're underneath him

Get evade extender/window or use a weapon that doesn't suck ass.

>use a weapon that doesn't suck ass.
I'm a masochist so i play GL

>tried beating Extremoth all day with randoms
>no luck
>finally get in a party chat with some pros
>still takes us over 2 hours
>just barely finally beat it

Holy shit what a bullshit monster. I’m so glad I got the layered armor and never have to fight that shit again

I'm a new GS user, can you tell me what situations I should use the O button, triangle + O, or that little tap after Triangle? I've been exclusively using charge attacks and nothing else and it seems to be working every time. I feel like everything else deals no damage or staggers monsters.

What fun combos does the Great Sword have?

>Decide to give Extremoth a try with MR gear because why not
>Get it first try with randoms
Drachen layered is pretty sweet.

It’s not better than safi, it’s just that it’s weaker in such a non existent margin compared to safi that it doesn’t matter. Honestly it’s just easier to get and you don’t have to worry about randoms carting

Safi weapons are still required for elemental but yeah it's a bit of a shame that the fight is just not very fun

Personally I use the wide sweep to get out of harm's way/reposition. It can do some good damage after a charge>shoulder tackle>sweep. Triangle+Circle I never really use but it can be useful for hitting out of reach tails. And if you mean that little love tap after a charge, its shit and I never use it

not him but
standing circle button and standing triangle + circle are undertuned moves that aren't super useful.
HOWEVER, circle followup after a tackle is called jumping wide slash and is one of the best moves in the arsenal. You can move a far distance while hitting a wide radius, and also combo that with slinger burst into a TCS.
Side slap after charge attack doesn't have much use, but side slap can be done after a tackle with r2 + triangle to recover from a tackle near instantly. You can also follow up a jumping wide slash with a side slap to cover some more distance. side slap also combos into slinger burst + TCS.
These moves give you a ton of utility and evasiveness so it's worth it to play around with them.

You know that reasoning that says you should change your methods up and learn how to avoid getting hit by the same move thats hit you 10 times in a row already? Some people ignore that and just blame the game for not letting them have fun.
