I’ve somehow played 125 hours of MH Rise so I’m making this little spoiler-free thread of observations and tips that people can mute if they don’t care
Firstly, I think a lot of people could miss this. Something cute and surprising may happen if you go over here:
Firstly, I think a lot of people could miss this. Something cute and surprising may happen if you go over here:
I think the text in Kamura Village is actually Japanese but highly stylised, sometimes upside down, and it’s read in the opposite direction so bottom to top or left to right. I noticed because dango are just dango and the two characters on the right here could be 団子
They’re specifically called bunny dango so I’m guessing the character on the far left is 兎 but I’m not sure what the other character could be. The 1st one here could be 御供 (companions?) and 2nd could be 武具 (weapon/armour sets?)
If you get a lot of notifications when you head back to village (maybe lots on your wishlist like in this pic) and there’s too much to see at once or it vanished before you saw it all, you can hit the - (minus) button and press Y to view the chat log and scroll them
You can search for armour with specific skills and other attributes using the Y menu that’s used when adding items to your wishlist. It puts the relevant sets at the top of the list
I think most people have probably found the cohoot nest on this tree on the buddy island but don’t just wait until there’s that big egg in it like in this video. Wait until after another quest until there are two golden eggs there too. That’s when you get the best stuff from it
The training area is great for testing out new weapons and if you’re just attacking then you can dive right in. But if you speak to Sekirei beside the item box you can set the big mechanism to move and attack you etc to practice guards, counters etc
If you’re crafting, buying, or selling something you don’t just have to hit A over and over; you can hold A and it will do them faster. If it’s UI where you can select a number of things, left and right on the D pad will go up and down in tens which is faster
An easy way to get dango tickets is to never craft your antidote herbs into antidotes the usual way and instead always do them in a motley mix. Yomogi will call you over to give you the tickets shortly after
If you’re struggling to find a material, remember to check the materials tab in your hunter’s guide. Press A and move to the material to see more info on the left. You can see if it comes from specific parts of the monster. This one here never comes from carves so capture is best
In the settings you can turn on gyro controls. They’ve actually given us loads of options not only for how it feels but when it should be used. I turn it off for general camera control and wirebug aiming but turn it on for ranged weapon and rampage installation aiming
Senrei let’s you see if friends or anyone in your Hunter Connects have lobbies open but remember for your closest friends you can share guild cards too. It’s here in the main menu
You can edit your own to show weapon preferences, a picture, what you’re up to, and you can see loads of stuff like your stats and even an achievements list of sorts (awards)
That’ll do for now but if you’ve got spoiler-free stuff you want to add that’s cute, helpful, or you think myself or others might have missed then reply!
I never got into bow in previous games but I’m loving it now with this setup and the wirebug skill that shoots you into the air
It wrecks
Really leaning into the switchiness of the switch axe this time. Some people end up only using sword mode or whatever but with this setup it’s amped up almost all the time and switching is faster and does more damage. Finally the SA as it should have been, dancing between both
Forgot to keep adding to this thread but I’ve got more #MHRise tips. I see a lot of videos and websites reminding people to customise what’s on their radial menu but not that you can have totally different radial menu loadouts
Firstly, in radial menu settings you can make lots of different shortcuts. These are the 4 things you move through with L+ZR or d-pad if for some reason you like taking your thumbs off the sticks
On that screen if you press ZL you can set the 4 shortcuts for your loadout but you can also press X to switch to different loadouts
This is also how you select them to use in a quest. So if you’re about to go on a hunt (or have started one and forgot), go into the radial menu settings, hit ZL, then hit X until you’re on the setup you want
You only get 4 loadouts total but you can combine some quest types if you don’t mind losing shortcuts. E.g. I don’t have separate single player loadouts for bow and non-bow. Instead my 4 shortcuts are SP healing, SP buffs, SP bow healing, stickers
So rather than have a whole other radial menu loadout for single player bow, I just make sure to use the 3rd shortcut for healing rather than 1st (I don’t need the whetstone with a bow and I add arrow crafting stuff too)
