"Ignore the monarchy"
That one Pink Rathian in MHS: **sweats nervously**

[spiren]

Fighting the royal monsters is one of my favorite parts of the game. I’ve made it a personal goal to get every royal monster I find to retreat before progressing the story. While this might be pointless since you get them later, it gives me that monster hunter feeling of being challenged.

Legitimate best "things to know before playing" video I have seen so far. It cannot be understated how much RPG-ers have anxiety hoarding with resources and it fantastic to have learned that bottle caps are farmable and that that low rank monster parts will be useless in high rank, so do not sleep on upgrading gear along the way to high rank. Quality content, cheers Cotton and crew.

“Ignore royal monsters”

Me: attacks and kills monoblos immediately

Advice: “Ignore Royal Monsters”

My brain: “Attack the Gammoth on sight.”

[dawn]

This is a message coming from within the county jail. Duck are in fact not free…

[marajaded]

Use repeatable side quests to lvl up lvl 1 monsters fast.

[haze]

"Delay farming"
*Has twenty hours in the demo*
Yeah I can do that.

[marajaded]

I spit my soda out when he said go get yourself a free duck...

"Hey guys, Pointcrow here, do you ever get Collector's Anxiety?"

[ZephWraen]

I'm curious why the thumbnail said "don't ruin your save." Nothing in this video is anything that could "ruin" your save. Waste your time? Sure. But so far there doesn't seem to be any permanent consequences for anything you do. If you mess something up, you can fix it.

Ruining the save implies there's a system in place that if you do something wrong you can't go back and fix it without starting a new save.

[Dnznxbebwushdn]

Don't forget that with the royals you can use paintballs, careful partbreaking and the nesting skill to get a reasonably high retreat chance.

[RyansArachnids]

Gonna listen to the video but close my phone case! Magical way to avoid visual spoilers

In my opinion it’s worth doing the royal monsters as it not only gives you access to insanely powerful monsties very early but also is good practice for teaching you better strategy

[Ryodraco]

8:50 I don't think we need to feel bad about releasing monsties via channelling even in the context of the game world. We still at minimum gave those monsters a headstart in life by keeping them past their most vulnerable infant stage. And since they never forget us, they're less likely to come into conflict with humans in the future.

I found most of the Royal Monsters very manageable, even very early game. Tigrex's rock throw and two attacks while enraged are the only issue, and I still handled that with careful item use. Monoblos just requires a Hunting Horn or Sonic Bombs and judicious Double Attack use, and Gammoth is even easier - it only uses Power Attacks, so have a Speed Monstie with a cheap Speed move (and a backup of the same). Double Attack it relentlessly. When it uses Snow Slurp, stay alert. The next round that it does not target one of you with an attack line, mount up and do not use your Kinship Skill. If you use your Kinship Skill, it will just wait to use Snow Stomp until the next turn. If Snow Stomp hits you while you are mounted, you just get knocked off. The only way to lose a heart against Gammoth using this strategy is if you get knocked off and your monstie decides to use a Power or Technical attack with no Kinship, and you have nothing to switch to that can be ordered into a Speed attack.

"slow down"
Meanwhile me fighting the end boss at level 25: oh, ok...

[RyuseiiTheCrimsonKing]

Even if its going to be sorely outclassed, I'm using a Kulu-Ya-Ku until endgame, named after the chicken that I was raising that died about a month and a half ago.

Nugget will become legend!

As someone who wants to have a blind experience with this game (as far as the story and monsters go, since I'm getting the game tomorrow) THANK YOU!
