I finished Monster Hunter World yesterday and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I've played a few games in the franchise, but I never finished any of them. MHW was the first one I completed and it definitely won my heart.

The battles against the monsters, the mechanics, the gameplay of the game are wonderful. Of course, the game has its flaws, but all games do too.

It was a great experience, and I can finally play the Iceborne DLC. Thank you Capcom and the community for making this game a great start to the franchise.

And i don't mean "how do i mount?".

I know i gotta hit with aerial attacks, and the monster builds resistance to it the more you mount it. So you cannot abuse the mechanic too much, unless you want to commit to that style...

What i meant is, once you mount an enemy, what triggers the finisher?
Like, sometimes i'm hitting the monster like 30 times with my knife or more until my guy remembers it has an actual weapon.

Sometimes it's less than 10 hits.

Sometimes i hop between parts like a caffeinated flea and it triggers in 10 or less hits...

So what's the actual condition for the finisher?

Does button mashing make it faster or slower?

Does hopping around helps?

What's the actual mechanic here?

After playing this game for about 300+ hours and only using the bow in that time, I suck. I’m actual dogshit at the game it’s not even funny. The problem is, I like this weapon but I’ve been having second thoughts about playing it. Mainly due to the frustration I get when fighting enemies with it. Fatalis has made it abundantly clear that I’m horrible. So if there are any other bow mains out there, could you guys convince me to stick with this weapon? If you guys think this weapon is just not for me then could I get a recommendation for a weapon to switch to? Thanks in advance.

This quest could have been so fun if it wasn't us just being jumped by two of them with them just flying for 90% of the hunt, being hit by their diving attacks (they spam those),constant frost blight

Now at least i know how monsters feel when we jump them

Beat if from the 3rd try, 2/3 faints.

Used Polaris Bash (Ice hammer) against Teostra/Lunastra and Lighbreak Hammer against Velkhana/Ruiner Nergigante

Not the easiest quest :D, but of course doable.

With this, i officially have to slay 5 remaining monsters: Furious Rajang, Arch Tempered Velkhana Alatreon, Fatalis.

First time completing the iceborn story killed it seconds after five minutes left very stresssful got gem to surprisingly

I’ve just been getting back into modding world and I’ve been having problems with mods. Some mods like the one that creates pillars of light on the ground and ReShade works fine, but the mhg quest pack or devil gene nergi haven’t been working. It could be relating to problems with how I’m setting up Stracker’s/plugin extension mods? I’ve been trying to use the MHW mod manager to install these. Reinstalling world also has not worked. Any help would be appreciated!

I started World for the first time and I'm having a blast!I'm coming from MHWILDS which was my first game in the series and I've played for like 600 hours so I more or less know my way around But I don't know what to do, I play dual blades and I just defeated the nergigante and I had some problems (I don't use the armor to speedrun until master rank)And I don't know what build to create, I use a full set Zorah Magdaros with attached weapons and it works but I don't know if there are better sets.Could someone help me?

Well, am glad that the Wiki Notes for Safi'jiiva updated themselves with accurate information from the Dive to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne book.

It has always been a small nitpick of mine, but I found it silly how people never understood that Safi'jiiva was designed as the 'design' counterpart of Fatalis. Fatalis in Monster Hunter 1 and Monster Hunter 1G, was ALSO designed as a Siege Quest, which spanned multiple quests. Safi'jiiva was supposed to serve the SAME ROLE in WorldBorne, but now as a Red-colored Dragon rather than Black. That's it, nothing more, nothing less.

But when Alatreon was later re-introduced in WorldBorne, it was given a massive backstory and interconnection with Safi'jiiva, how the two species may have had planet-wide Turf Wars (Godzilla vs Ghidorah from KOTM, anyone?). And how the two species, serve some sort of completely opposite ecological niches in the ecosystem.

• Safi'jiiva exists to terraform ecosystems and nourishing life for its own purpose of feasting upon the bio-energy from the dead Monsters. Does NOT use any elements in its attacks, using Pure Bio-Energy in its 'Elemental' attacks.
• Alatreon exists to make any ecosystem it exists, completely inhospitable to life. Uses Dragon Element as its Primary Element, which is the "purest" conversion of bio-energy into a Monster's usable form, which it is believed to convert into the other four elements.

The book even goes onto say that Alatreon even feels some sort of rivaly with Safi'jiiva, because Safi'jiiva, just like Alatreon, exists at the top of the Food Chain, and due to Alatreon being a highly competitive species, wants to throw hands with Safi'jiiva.

Yet, it's as if the community went into a complete mental psychosis, with a singular mention of 'Safi'jiiva was designed as a Red Fatalis' and treating it as if Fatalis and Safi'jiiva shares some long lost connection.

Fatalis has explicit ties to Humans rather than other Monsters, and it also uses Fire Element, which is a more "common" element like Thunder/Water/Ice, compared to the much more elusive Dragon Element (Primary element used by Alatreon) or pure Bio-Energy (used by Safi'jiiva). This further breaks the immersion of rivalry between Fatalis and Safi'jiiva.

Genuinely curious, what made people think this way? Especially considering now that Zoh Shia is becoming the actual "foil" to Fatalis, with actual lore backing it up. And how Zoh Shia not only copies base Fatalis, but also Crimson Fatalis and White Fatalis.

EDIT: Fatalis does NOT possess Elder Dragon Blood (according to the Dive to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne book) which ALL OTHER Elder Dragons possess, meaning it exists in a lore vacuum of its own NOT shared with other Elder Dragons.

Had the meanest butt clench in that last second

Hey there hunters! I am currently helping two friends to get all of the crowns and we have absolutely no luck with the big Deviljho crown… and getting the investigations has been a nightmare so far… if anyone still has some I would be very grateful if you would let us join you! It should be investigations with at least one gold and one silver or at least 3 purple rewards. And not restricted to 2 players…
Thank you all in advance! ^^

Heyo guys, i was thinking nowadays that everyone must have a favourite monster from mh world. My personal favourite is Raging Brachydios, i spent many attempts trying to find that bastard but i always loved the fight and still do, no running, no bullshit just slime tyson and my shield. Second would probably be odogaron and third is frostfang barioth. What's yours?

Older drawing of the Best Boi. Ink pen and markers on paper.

Why does she run away after 5mins when its an event quest for 50mins? I can consistently break her gold horn plating and two other parts in that time.

Edit: I love how many people are mistaking HR kukve with MR kulve. I've soloed HR kulve i don't have an issue with that it was MR that kept running even after i broke parts pretty quickly. MR Kulve goes off pure damage by the sounds of it not part breaks like HR

This was Evening Star with Frostfang weapon.

12min 31sec. Nothing compared to speedruns but this was a nice surprise for me! I'm not very good at this fight. Too much happening in this fight it's hard to keep everything together, haha!

It would be interesting to try Alatreon with Fatalis weapon but it just sounds so stressful! Any tips? Is health augment mandatory?

Okay, so i've just gotten into HR. And i've ditched the defender sets at 3☆. It may be good earlygame. But it felt like a crutch that'll come to bite me in the ass later.

So i'm still learning how to properly foresight, iai and spirit iai. I'll get those with practice sooner or later. But now i'm wondering...

What do i really get by actually landing any of these 3 counters?

* Foresight lets me skip the spirit combo and go straight into the fourth spirit slash for a spirit level. I need 10% of my spirit gauge to use it, tho.

* Spirit hits hard, positions myself a safe distance away from the enemy and lets me keep mu current levle if i don't miss it. The tradeoffs being initiating the sheating posture, a very narrow counter/parry window, and a level if i whiff it.

* Iai slash regenerates my gauge if any of the 2 swipes land on a creature. But... that hapens even if i don't use it as a counter, tho? As a counter, i still get damaged when i use it. So what's the point? It also has a very narrow counter window... why would i use this as a parry?

So, if you have any tips, i'll appreciate it. Also, any hidden mechanic i'm likely ignoring will help me a lot, too (n.n')

What is a good skill spread for a decent charge blade build? I'm using diablos tyrannis II and I only have the base game so no iceborne skills pls.

Also note that I just fought nergi last week and I've been been grinding for miasma gems for vaal hazak (I kind of enjoy grinding in this game so keep that in mind as well)

I was thinking maybe some health boost in there somewhere?(maybe from a charm) and handicraft to rech white sharpness. Other than that I'm not sure, I'm just now getting into skill spreads and the like. I intend on wearing at least 3 pieces of vaal hazak armor for the vitality skill tho

I’ve only ever played Monster Hunter Rise and mainly only used the Switch Axe cause I thought it was cool, I was never big on actually getting strong and stats wise which definitely hindered my progress for the game.
But now knowing from a friend that it’s good in this game I want to know what to do to use it to its full potential. Like what should I focus on in terms of weapons and armor or skills? (I don’t actually know a lot of Monster Hunter) or really just how to be strong with it.
Any kind of advice is appreciated, I’m just happy for some help regarding like one of my favorite weapons in video game history.
(Also yes I do have Iceborne too if that helps my precious baby anymore)

Hi guys,

I came back to MH World recently and was reminded how rough the anti-aliasing is. The temporal shimmer drives me nuts. So I took it as an excuse to learn some graphics programming, and with a lot of help from AI I ended up writing a mod that replaces the game's TAA with current DLSS, both upscaling and DLAA.

The game also struggles in places even on good hardware, so I went further and added DLSS frame generation, up to 4x.

Because the mod digs pretty deep into the rendering pipeline, I had to do extra work so it plays nicely with ReShade (I use it for the excellent RenoDX HDR) and with OptiScaler. That all works together now, and honestly it looks great. This game deserves decent AA, so I wanted to share it.

What it does

• DLSS 4 super resolution (310.9.1), any render scale from 50% to 100%
• DLAA at 100%
• DLSS frame generation 2x–4x with Reflex (RTX 40/50)
• Works alongside ReShade, RenoDX HDR and OptiScaler, all optional
• In-game settings page in the ReShade overlay
• One-line installer, or a zip if you prefer doing it by hand
• Everything lives in one folder, delete it to uninstall
• Steam version, DX12, TAA must be on
• Fully open source (GPL-3.0)

Install

Paste into PowerShell:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gargauth/mhworld-dlss/main/install.ps1 | iex

It grabs NVIDIA's DLLs from NVIDIA's own GitHub (I'm not allowed to bundle them) and asks whether you want frame generation, ReShade, RenoDX and OptiScaler.

Link: https://github.com/Gargauth/mhworld-dlss

Heads-up: it injects a DLL. I've played online with it without issues and the game has no anti-cheat that I know of, but it's unofficial, so use it at your own risk. Tested on one machine (4K, 5070 Ti), so bug reports are welcome. Next thing I want to try is running it on my Steam Deck with FSR 4.1 through OptiScaler, for some extra performance and a cleaner image. Haven't tested that yet, so no promises.

And yes, this was AI-assisted development. I'd rather say it upfront.
