The Monster Hunter franchise has made its way over to the Nintendo Switch with the release of Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. The game was not.
Monster Hunter Generations is the newest installment in Capcom’s long running action RPG series. The new entry takes the best from all the franchise’s previous games, and brings it all together in one package- while also adding some new spins and features of its own.
The game, much like previous games in the series, has a campaign, that sees you start out as a novice monster hunter, and take on quests to despatch increasingly dangerous monsters- and while the true appeal of the franchise lies in its multiplayer, the campaigns are almost always long, full featured, and more than worth playing- especially if you are a newcomer to the franchise. Four last things judgement fr ripperger binding.
If that is you, and you have problems getting through anything in the campaign, then this video walkthrough below will help. Keep in mind, though, that it has spoilers for the full story- so if you would rather go into the game blind, you’re best off not watching it, or at least watching it very carefully.
Monster Hunter Generations is the latest entry in the Monster Hunter series and there is plenty to do. Veterans of the series don't have too much to learn, but there are some new things even they will want to know about.
If you are brand new to the series, the content can be overwhelming at first. Don't fear because I'm here to explain all the basics so you can get started off right in Monster Hunter Generations.
Monster Hunter is a game where you, well, hunt monsters. It sounds incredibly basic, but there is a lot of depth that goes into this game. This is really shown later on when you face off against very powerful giant monsters that require strategy, good equipment, and skill.
The first thing I suggest is completing all the Hunter Basics training quests. This will provide a hands-on demonstration of how everything works and will be much easier to understand.
In this game, you start by collecting materials and exploring the land. You will get acquainted with the controls, your weapons, and how everything works before moving on.
Then, you will complete gathering missions. This is still a way to ease you into the content and get you acquainted with getting materials, which you will be doing a lot as you try to craft better gear.
Finally, you will start your hunts on smaller monsters that don't require a lot of strategy so you can get used to fighting. The end goal is to hunt the big monsters.
Big monsters usually have multiple body parts you can attack, and at least 1 weak spot. These spots can usually be broken to weaken the monster and drop extra/rare materials.
You can also jump on a monster sometimes by jumping above it and attacking. This is called 'mounting' and will start a mini-game if you are successful.
When your character is on, a bar will appear on screen with a head icon. When the icon is yellow or red, hold R to hold on. When it is green, repeatedly press X to attack until the bar fills up.
If you fill the bar completely before the head reaches the end, you will stun the monster for a short time. This is also good for breaking certain body parts.
The biggest thing to keep in mind when starting is that weapons in this game are like classes or jobs in other RPGs. Each weapon has a different and unique play style, so you will want to focus on 1 at a time to understand exactly how it works.
I suggest you do the weapon training missions for each until you find a weapon you like, then stick with it for a while.
Once you get used to everything, your typical experience will go like this;
You can also get Palicoes/Felynes, which are cats, to help you on your hunts. They comes wit their own set of equipment and skills and level up as you completequests.
There are 4 Hunter Styles in the game:
Each weapon has their own set of Arts and you unlock more as you use the weapon. Arts are abilities you can use during combat, but you have to charge them up before you can use them. Arts can have different charge times, which you can view when selecting them.
There are 14 weapons in the game -- 11 melee and 3 ranged -- that all do different things. Each weapon is unique and you will need to spend a lot of time learning and mastering each, so don't expect to be good at a bunch of them right away.
If you use a melee weapon, you're classified as a Blademaster, and ranged weapons classify you as a Gunner. This is important later because some armor is only usable by 1 of those types.
Gunner is very different from Blademaster and difficult if you have never played Monster Hunter. I suggest not starting with one of those, but just try out every weapon, then decide what you like the best.
In Monster Hunter Generations you can play as a Palico/Felyne during normal missions, or specific Prowler missions. Unlike Hunters, Prowler attacks don't change when they change weapons.
They can swipe with their weapon or throw a boomerang. They can also block, dodge, and burrow while your weapon is sheathed.
Harvesting materials and landing attacks fills up the support gauge so that you can use support moves.
There are many type of quests you can complete in Monster Hunter Generations:
Panzer corps 2 game. You start out with 1-star level quests in single-player and eventually unlock more levels as you complete certain key quests.
When you do enough key quests, you unlock an urgent quest. Complete the urgent quest to unlock the nest level of quests. The key quests are not listed in the game, so you must find it out on your own. There will be a separate guide listing these.
Multiplayer has a separate set of quests called Hunter Rank, but it also requires completing key and urgent quests.
There are many ways to customize in Monster Hunter Generations. There are many weapons that each have unique abilities, which also can be upgraded. Armor can also be created and upgraded.
Both weapons and armor an be crafted from gathering parts from monsters. The different pieces of armor grant different stats and abilities. Your Palico companions can also get different weapons and armor.
