Got That New World Feeling but with an Old World Taste - Monster Hunter: World

If you ever feel bad about not being great at the Long Sword, just know that I went through the entire game without realizing that the Foresight Slash was a thing.

Uh oh we better be on our best behavior because it’s :meat: UPDATE DAY :meat:

The time has finally come to capture Zorah Magdaros and learn the truth behind the elder crossing, but can it really be done?

I gotta say, of all the things I was expecting, a tussle with another, meaner monster on top of Zorah Magdaros’s back was not one of them.

I figured something like this would happen. Far too soon to be finishing off what seems to be an endgame boss of some sort! Too soon!

Just a head’s-up, there will be no update this weekend. Admittedly, I’m a little behind on recording and only just recently had the opportunity to cut together Episode 10, so I’m a bit behind. I’ll try and have some extra content available to go along with the update when it hits.

Regular updates will resume Saturday, April 21st. Sorry for the lapse.

Okay, starting today, things should be back to normal. Sorry about the delay, so have yourselves a nice :meat: UPDATE DAY :meat:

So the whole Zorah Magdaros thing didn’t quite fall into place, and, as it turns out, neither is our whole look into the Great Ravine.


And also, I figured it’s time I talk about the Hammer a bit more. I’m not going to give you a whole step-by-step lesson on how to play it, because a playstyle is something you make on your own. I have to stress, this isn’t a tutorial, it’s a Weapon Showcase for Hammer!

Poor Paolumu, too cute for this world. Well, I feel less sorry for the jerk when it’s pushing me around while I’m trying to find That Big Flying Thing We Saw, but still. They made ‘Lumu extremely fluffy lookin’.

The Hammer is my go-to weapon for when I just want to have good fun, or specifically want to break a monster’s head. This showcase is a good example of why and the style matches what I’ve fallen into; it really is pretty simple. About the only thing that didn’t get shown off terribly much is that you can charge the hammer and then shove the charge into the head with O (heavy), and it has some small buffs it applies. I often forget to do that anyway.

Anyway next time I see :meat: :egg: :meat: IT’S EGG PARTY TIME :meat: :egg: :meat:

It seems that everyone has “their monster” in this game. You know, the one they never want to kill. For some it’s the Kulu, but for me, it’ll always be Paolumu.

And though I don’t appreciate the absolute beating you had to give it to get it to the point where you could capture it, I like that it isn’t… dead.

Well, aside from a few side quests, we won’t have to lay the hurt on Paolumu again, so rest easy.

It’s pretty far past breakfast, but despite that it’s :egg: UPDATE DAY :egg:

We have ourselves a small laundry list of new jobs to do before we go on with our investigation into Zorah Magdaros. So, enlisting the help of two other hunters, Torres gets cracking on the work at hand.


Also, for those of you who prefer to watch on Twitch: It may be some time before I get the LP caught up on having things uploaded there and properly linked to here. I apologize for the inconvenience, and hope you’ll bear with me as I get it all sorted out.

So, just a heads-up

I’m having some technical concerns getting Episode 12 put together and finished off. I’m going to try and get them resolved, but in the event that Ep12 isn’t posted tomorrow, just know that I’m working on it and will get it uploaded as soon as possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

E: and sure enough right after I panic and post this I fix the problems, so uh, disregard this post.

E2: Different problems have arisen.

Ain’t that the way with PROBLEMS!

I’m fairly certain at this point that I know what was causing the crash in my editing software, but I’m not sure what’s making it do the thing that’s causing the crash. I’m going to keep checking over the next week and I’ll try to have a double update on the 12th to make up for it (and also keep us on track).

As a woodworker I appreciate the importance of keeping your tools sharp in this game …

We didn’t update last week due to technical concerns, so it’s :meat: :meat: DOUBLE UPDATE DAY :meat: :meat:

The first update of the day will be delivered right now, and the other update will be put up later tonight so you have time to watch both.

It’s time to get after Zorah Magdaros and descend down below the Coral Highlands to the Rotten Vale. What kind of new challenges await us there?


It’s noon as of this post, the next part of today’s set of updates should be up around 7 or 8 PM.

And here’s the second part of :meat: :meat: DOUBLE UPDATE DAY :meat: :meat:

We’re on our way the depths of the Rotten Vale, but will it really be so easy?
