Then it might be possible for monsters to regain health if you let them sleep fully and wake up without being disturbed.

GameStop really fucked up by not giving the demos away for free, didn't they.

Leave it to Capcom to have the wisdom to reach out to the mainstream via a specialty game shop.

Best Buy and/or Walmart would've been the much wiser choice.

Mega Potions aren't exactly difficult to make, drop some honey on a potion and there you go. Honey spawns like crazy in the Moga forest areas 2 and 3 so there should be no reason to be unable to get some.

Sheesh, how much HP does the Great Jaggi have? I fought it for like fifteen minutes and it never died. It wandered away a few times, and went to sleep once, but...sheesh. It never actually died. Whenever I tried to sharpen my blade or eat an herb, its cronies tore me to shreds. Tips?

Use a stronger weapon though fifteen minutes isn't terribly long. I had the 50 minute timer run out against Royal Ludroth using the bowgun (of course it goes much faster with a large melee weapon). Some weapons got sweeping attacks that make dealing with the minions fairly easy (loading a bowgun with shotgun ammo will usually tear minions to shreds).

Get back to them 15 minutes later? What do you go and do for 15 minutes?

Free hunt, on the theory that I have 30 minutes left to finish the mission, and another baddie to kill.

Is there another monster to free hunt on the Great Jaggi missions or was the Jaggi the 'free hunt' target?

One of them had the Jaggi as the free hunt target, while I believe the other two were Royal Ludroths.

The Great Jaggi is common in early unstable missions so free hunting it can happen a lot.

I'm not terribly motivated to go up against Barioth, Rathalos or Diablos (hm, all ..a..os) so I've been hunting some stuff in the forest in the hope of getting rare trade goods to get those things the Argosy is selling.

MANTI5 · « **Reply #583 on:** May 19, 2010, 06:40:10 PM »

Rathalos isn't so bad, just flys a bunch. It's attacks are fairly easy to avoid, the most annoying being the instant dizzy lunge. Barioth so far is my biggest pain because of his quick, angular, pouncing.

Mop it up · « **Reply #584 on:** May 19, 2010, 08:32:00 PM »

Rathalos isn't all that difficult after you study his attacks and learn his patterns (like all monsters in the game. Knowledge is power!), but boy, is he annoying, because the fight just takes so long. He spends far too much time flying, making it pretty much unable to attack him. Be prepared for the long haul, especially if it's single-player you're facing him in.

MANTI5, your name sounds familiar. Have I seen you in Animal Crossing?

Yep, that's me. The flying is annoying but if you use the longer weapons you can bring him back down, or if you can aim bounce bombs they help too.

See! All the old AC gang is coming out to this game slowly. It's the new AC, with uber swords and dragons!

So does unstable meant that there are free hunt monsters about? I always assumed it had to do with the weather or something.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #587 on:** May 20, 2010, 05:39:42 AM »

Yeah, it means other monsters could show up. Each quest has a set group of possible unstable monsters.

How is the WiiSpeak in this game?

horribly distant and muffled?

Sundoulos · « **Reply #589 on:** May 20, 2010, 01:52:32 PM »

Yes. You can hear what people are saying, but it does sound muffled. A number of us have Wii Speak, but we normally type out messages on USB keyboards instead.

It's not too bad, but it's not great either. Think of it as talking through a cell phone which has AT&T as the carrier.

Question: If I get a 4 way USB splitter to hook up all thise EUB things to the Wii, will it still recognize them all?

we have the WiiSpeak, which is currently unplugged
the Motion Camera, which is plugged in
a mic, which is plugged in
and 2 more mics on the way

The Wii only has 2 USB ports and the singing game supports at least 2 mics so I need at least 4 plugs. has any one tried that?

and if I want to hook up a wireless keyboard, I'm gonna need another usb port, so make that 5 ports needed. I have a 4 way splitter which would leave me with 5 usable ports. is it do able?

Stratos · « **Reply #592 on:** May 20, 2010, 03:57:24 PM »

Rock Band for Wii came with a USB splitter dongle. So it works with the instruments. If you'd like I could try and borrow the dongle from my co-worker that owns it and try to see if everything connects fine.

I'd say the Wii Speak quality is slightly better than The Conduit, but still bad overall. It doesn't have the terrible echo that is usually present in The Conduit, but the sound quality is a bit poor and it does get cut out sometimes. To be fair though, part of my problem understanding voices over the thing is that I'm partially deaf in one ear.

You seem to understand me well enough. Or is that more because you're used to me and better understand what I'm trying to say?

Well you two have such a bond that even Wiispeak can't separate you two knowing each other's very thoughts.

Proof that extended AC play lead to deep telepathic bonds. And people think the Vitality sensor is the craziest new peripheral on the Wii.

Mop it up · « **Reply #597 on:** May 21, 2010, 05:01:01 AM »

I've always been good at guessing. As long as I hear some key words I can usually respond well enough.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #598 on:** May 23, 2010, 08:32:57 PM »

So I have that $20 promotional credit from Amazon, I'm torn between Monster Hunt Tri and Red Dead Redemption. Any suggestions?

Ooh, tough choice indeed.
