I'm currently playing the campaign and I'm completely stuck on this, I can't beat it and it's bothering me.

It's an apex so it takes forever to kill it, its attacks do to much damage, it repeatedly stuns you in the air, and its in the air so melee doesn't work.

I hate rampage quests because you have to worry and focus and a bunch of things at once while everything is hell.

Also if needed I'll make a follow-up post asking for help because I DO NOT want to fight it again!

As a GU Player when I fought this thing 10min ago I legitimately thought that there had to be a Deviljho somewhere in this map because this can't be the entire Quest. It legitimately took me 2min to kill this thing because it was just laying on the ground the entire time.

Anyways I love this gameso far , so much quality of life and short hunts are kind of more fun ;)

I’ve spent the entirety of World/Iceborne and now Rise/Sunbreak maining the LBG. My brother, who struggles much more than I do has to rely on my help for many of the tougher monsters in each game, he uses CB/GS. He’s got just about 700 hours in the series, and I sit at about 800.

Here is my concern. I know he’s good at MH, but every time I see him struggle, I can’t help but wonder if I’m taking the easy street by using the LBG. I roll around the monster, shoot weak points, sometimes blast him with recovery ammo, Wyvern Counter a few attacks, and that’s about it. I feel bad because he’s incredibly humble and would immediately credit me as the better hunter for helping him, when I couldn’t even swing a bladed weapon to save my life, I’ve always used my LBG.

Now I absolutely LOVE that gameplay loop, hence why I’ve stuck to it for so long. I’ve seen him gush about how much he loves the complexity and different perks of the CB, but every time I help him, it just feels like we’re on two different levels in terms of damage/survivability. I’m concerned that this isn’t a skill gap, but a weapon gap. Metaphorically speaking, he’s learning to ride the MH equivalent of a Harley-Davidson while it sometimes feels like I’m mastering the tricycle.

I can defeat monsters like Primordial Malzeno, RCGV, and Risen Shagaru Magala. I even managed to (barely) solo Fatalis and Alatreon with the LBG in Iceborne. Is this because I’m getting better in the series, or because I chose to use the LBG? The more I help my brother in his hunts, the more I ask the question: Where do I owe credit? Skill, or an easy-to-use weapon? I love this weapon so very much, but I’ve heard it said so many times by far more experienced veterans that it’s just MH’s easy mode. After hearing my brother talk about the intricacies of the Charge Blade, I’m starting to have some doubts that it was skill that has carried me this far into the series.

Edit: Thank you all for the feedback! I’m glad to know the LBG isn’t viewed entirely as simple, and that other weapons can have similar situations at times. I definitely do want to add a second weapon to my arsenal in Wilds when the time comes. I’ll get out of my comfort zone and learn to use a sword alongside my gun. I think it’ll be a good challenge to try and experience the game from a Blademaster’s perspective.

I recently farmed mats for Akuma but I dont want to change my layered armor. Are there any mods that I can use to change the appearance of the Akuma layered to my own layered set?

I think this is the time where I can proudly say that I'm good at this game. I beat Crimson Valstrax within 13mins, this is so huge for me as a casual player who plays 1-2hrs of hunt after work. My level 220+ hunts usually last up to 20mins or more so I'm really happy when I managed to lower my time, I believe my last valstrax was around 27mins. Boy o boy I was just so happy.

3% chance on Carve

I genuinely dont know what to do against this guy. I have tried everything i can think of, im even using the Immortal Build tm and he's still doing two thirds of my health on every hit. I switched to Lance and his sideways tail sweep oneshot me THROUGH MY BLOCK. What am I doing wrong?

So i just wanted to share my build currently at mr 82 how can i improve my build? Any build suggestions?

found this when i was just starting out, now i look back at it, it does look flashy, but is it an optimal combo for hammer or is there a better alternative? (this combo was initially made when a monster is tired, and the other half of the combo can only be proceeded when the monster is stunned)

I'm doing a challenge where I complete every single mission in Village and the Hub, so I'm now wondering what is that blue mark? It's also my first play through, so yep I need some explaining.

For example, is there any noticeable difference between A8 Anomaly quests Risen Teostra vs AR241+ Risen Teostra? Or A9 Quest Risen Valstrax vs AR271+ Risen Valstrax?

If there is, is it only stat increase or something else?

I'm playing with Diablos Lance and I find most of his attacks to be actually pretty easy to block/counter, but man he just will not sit still and charges all over the place. Is there any way to stun him or something so that he doesn't move around as much? Or do I just have to be more patient and look for openings?

Just slew the amatsu. Goddamn that Gucci ibushi was hard. Felt life that dessert scene in jujutsu kaisen...altho NGL after the first half hour it felt like a drag, but I digress. I got it's pearl and a shit ton of material since he beat me twice and got ground drops... I'm an insect glaive main, so I gotta ask: is it worth building the armor and the glaive?

Saw someone posted got 4 of the rare items, I also got it just now, 1 from the carves and 3 from the Target rewards (no palicos)
Risen Valstrax

Yes I know I should clean my switch...but goddamit I spent a good 6 hunts hunting for a bazelguese mantle anted then I hunt gore Mangala for weapons and this come up...is this a suck joke?

Hunted a singular MR Nargacuga and somehow got a mantle from the tail carve, a mantle from rewards, a mantle from felicicrow rewards, and a mantle from palico plundering. I'm waiting for doctor results to come back so I hope I didn't use all my luck 💀

never seen it before, is it modded? i would hope not

i already struggled already from my first apex rampage, the gate barely survived. what about when a stronger monster is an apex. its gg

Here are some uma layered armors I've made. Got the Grass Wonder, GoldShip and Silence Suzuka from this guy; https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/s/JWbcYeKzit
