Gaming Any guides for Light Bowgun users on MH3

[Blood_26]

Meaning I'll have to upgrade it or I won't be able to kill R.Ludrie ?
The Ludroth's Nail worked fine though.
I managed to cut off its tail.
The only reason why I keep losing is because of the battle underwater with it.
I'm really at a disadvantage when battling it underwater.
Even when Cha-Cha constantly distracts it.
And its mane takes some time to aim and hit.
And I'm not good at it.
I saw some player who posted their gaming videos on youtube used a Ludroth's Nail.
By green sharpness, are you referring to the awakening of the sword ?
In which it grants you certain bonuses ?
If it is, well..
I don't think getting Ludroth's Nail to green sharpness is a good idea.
Because it grants the user 100% water elemental attacks.
Which will be even more ineffective against the Ludrie.

And great swords aren't really like my forte as I've mentioned.
Sorry ): .
I really can't stand big bulky slow weapons.

By the way, do you know how to get masks for Cha-Cha ?

yeh me niether great sword is slow and cumbersome but its alot powerfull than ludroths nail when it comes to bosses with tough skin

ok loom at this link I use rugged great sword upgraded from iron sword+ look at the sharpness of it, its just into the green bar which is easy to kill R ludroth, not just cut off his tail but to kill it outright, btw you can switch weapons, I have a ludroth nail, rugged great sword, bone axe and a lance.

I have finally beheaded the Royal Ludroth

!!
Now all I need to do is hunt for another Royal Ludroth and I can complete my Royal Launcher.

All I need right now is to choose the suitable bladed weapon for me aside from sword and shield.
Any suggestions anyone ?

Great Swords

I haven't tried them Long Swords yet. The first Long Sword you can make is damn expensive and needs rare resources

 

[Blood_26]

I was asking Am0s about that too.
I tried GS and Hammer.
They really don't suit me ):

 

[Am0s]

maybge try switch axe I tried my axe and its not bad will need to get used to it first

hey hi Blood_26, I start by saying welcome to temp!

now for MH£ there are 2 suggestions I have for you

the first one is to bookmark this site: Monster Hunter Wiki - this site basically has information about EVERYTHING, however if your looking for guides on how to beat a certain boos they've taken them all down because they doing some reformatting or something...I dunno.

The second page I have for you would be: Monster Hunter Tri Beginner's Guide - I've suggested this thread because..well I have that one tracked

and there's ALOT of information about various things from me and other users in the later pages, which you may come to find usefull as you play.

As for Weapons don't restrict yourself to 1 type of weapon, you can always find good things in variety.
The Bowgun (not my weapon of choice and personally I avoid it at all costs

) is a difficult weapon to use and get right, you've really got to know your monsters weaknesses and ammo.

As for the monsters there are materials you can only get if you "break" certain parts of the monster, for the Great Jaggi you can damage it's head (the frilly bit around its head becomes torn) this increases chances of getting King's Frill (I think...don't quote me on that) for the Qurupeco you can damage it's break and break the flint off its wings (damaging the beak will give you Strange beak, breaking the flint off the wings will give you Flintstone), and many of the other monsters you can generally damage the head, chop off it's tail, break wings, break horns and various other things. For me I find this easiest to do with weapons other than the Bowgun, I personally use the Longsword whenever I can (unlocked later on in the game) before that I used a Hammer or Switch Axe.

I hope I've helped you in some way...if not oh well it was worth a try

Hello and thanks for the welcome

.
Yes, I have tried MH wikia, but I find it to be abit messy.
Atleast for me.
They don't really provide a complete info.
Meh, you're right.
Bowgun requires alot of time to master, and the need to reload puts users at a disadvantage.
For me, my arsenal of weapons mostly consist of light-weigh weapon that are easy to handle and are mostly speedy.

Currently, I'm using Sword and Shield to severe the anatomies of Bosses.
I forged a Ludroth Hammer yesterday and attempted it on bosses like Great Jaggi and Qurupeco.
I personally think Hammers are pretty useful for monsters who are pretty fast but they don't work well against slow moving monsters like a Royal Ludroth.
So I normally rely on Sword and Shields to take down slow moving bosses.
I still am looking forward to forging a Long Sword.
Though I think it'll be slower than a Sword and Shield

By the way, has anyone of you defeated Barroth ?
I have a hard time doing so.
But Bowguns are my best option so far.
They really provide a safety range.

He's weak to water when covered in mud. If not then use fire attacks.

 

[Am0s]

barroth is a bitch, keep slashing away at him took me 45 mins to kill him the first time, now I can do it in 40 haha

 

[Blood_26]

I think I'll stick to the Bowgun.Thanks tho

On the side note, anyone knows how to increase your character's HP bar ?

 

[naglaro00]

Eat food from the Felyine Chef

You can't permanently increase HP tho

 

[Am0s]

nutrients and mega nutrients increase the HP bar then a potion or mega potion to fill it up

I'm curious as I don't use Nutrients often. Is the increase permanent?

 

[Am0s]

during a mission yes, I use 3 mega nutrients per mission and it puts my HP bar just below max

acctlly the best weapon i preferred for barroth was longsword.
seeing it paralysis with spirt gauge hit 65% of the time. if u cn keep it still
but longsword is de best weapon.
but upgrading it is a hassle.
also forging ur first one is more of a hassle. but hey it was worth it to mi.
i hav full armor set for deviljhos and larczurs.
but if u want something big to kill it. use a lance.
u cn gaurd n hit .
so for close range lance would be best with barroith.

I hope this'll help ur decision some : D
