Urgent Quest Help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will surely kill some useless Topics. -How To's -4 Horns THE most hard HR up quest because of what is available to you TAKE A RathaLos set(dont have this? 4 Horns IS NOT FOR YOU) Ceramic blos horn(weapon tree FAQ FTW) take the following(organise for your own combining comfort) GunpowderX20 ScreamerX40 Combo book 1-4 PotionX10 High potionX10 ImmuniserX10 Kelbi hornX10(or more) Fire HerbX20 NitroshroomX20 HerbX10 Bleu MushieX10 WhetstoneX20 Bomb Material X10 FlashbugX10 Sonic BombX10 FlashbombX5 basically use the RSPFHLS(pronounced Reshpfheless) RUN when hes in mad mode SONIC when he burrows(throw after tail goes under) POKE when you have the opening FLASH When hes charging HEAL When you need to LUNGE When hes burrow-striking you STAMINA With ancient potions(after expending your potion making materials) If your Good, half of those materials you wont need to use. WHO CARES? Kelbi Horns are the MH equivalent of Lucky Rabbits foots. take as many as you can. Another Strategy is to use Frost edge+. this isnt so smart, as RAW damage works best against Diablos Try to shoot for the first DBlos Down by 15 mins, and less than 10 potions sonics, and flashes used -A Giant Dragon Invades Beat Up Lao Set of choice(take good skills(and good defence)), Wolf Torrent DO NOT TAKE YGG ARMOR IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Why? Slower sharpening Yes, YGG weapon. Just listen. its the only one worth getting Take PotionsX10 Mega Potions X10 WhetstonesX20 LBB, LBB+ X As many as you have SBB+X5 if you have bombs Farcaster to get you out of some sticky situations Any other stuff you may want Now. When quest starts. you see Lao. I assume you are good enough to not get your butt kicked by Laos tail. Head to Camp. Take 9 Ballista shells, and dig for one more then, pick up your supplies. Keep your stamina up. Now. Wait for Lao. when he enters area, bomb up head. then whack at it. when you can. Triple combo the stomach. Constantly. Sharpness. Sharpen when you lose Green. then, sharpen twice. you get a tiny bit of white. which is good. Blue does the most damage.(or So myths say) Tripple Combo your way to the end of the areas, and when he gets to area 5, Blast him with the Dragonator, and all ten ballista shells then, continue to beat on his belly Why the triple combo? Its the strongest CONGRATS you have SOLOED Lao+ if your good, he should be lying in wait for you to carve If not, who cares. kick his butt with any HR3+ weapon you can now get! HR3. GET Welcome to G ranked quests. See section 4 of this Guide -A Thunderous Duo Dual Khezus. Yes, EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW okey. Take your regular Dual monster junk and extra traps, and throw out the sonics, and flashes. take your bombs, and other stuffs. Whip out your Corona. Set? maybe try a Gyps S or U. your call If possioble, get a Sanctioned Gunhammer and beat on them or Add a few extra nostrils to their heads with your Dragon Rider Spear and skip this. it should be over in approx 20 mins Find one. Beat on it. Regular Kehzu fighting tactics when the other comes, Paint/Auto Track it, and try to scare the other away with a paintball or something(hit it before it sees you with long range) if not, try to kill the first. if they start to sleep, or you are good with dual wyverns or have friends, go all out and rush them. try to fight one before it wakes up its buddy. Of course, the regular commonsensical things apply here also. -Pink And Azure(Sakura To Sou)(<=Much Cooler) Get a friend to help. No friends? Get Real No Friends with MHP/F? Now your realistic If you cannot beat this quest without a guide, you suck at MH and need to restart. Seriously Okey? whatever. Use E.Schisms, a DBA, or a DRS or maybe Dark Punisher. your call. those are amongst the best weapons to fight them with. Regular tactics. Go. Regular Tactics? Trap them, Go bezerk on Head Sooner or later(15 mins), you have a dead Los/Ian Failed? Take Traps, and more stuffs Still Failed? You suck at MH.

G-Rank stands for Great-Rank. "WTF! LAME"? Not to us Japanese. in the history of MH in japan, G has always standed for Great. -Tips? 1. Farcaster is your friend. If you like to start and venture from base, start the quest with it it also helps with #2 2. Organisation. Co-operate with your friends. its crucial to win. 3. Organisation of your inventory Organise your inventory for Combining easier. it can save up to 5 minuites which can make the differance between Winning and losing 4. You=Weak. Wyvern=Strong Understand that the only thing that makes you superior to Wyverns is your brain Use it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V.
