so you made it through the base game all
the way into hoarfrost reach good for
you it's time for the DLC but this
ladies and gentlemen this is where the
challenge starts and to that extent
welcome to my guide for getting started
in AI sport so a couple things I'm gonna
cover are really basic just things that
you may have forgotten because you
probably haven't done them in so long
and then we're gonna go into some flesh
fall mechanics and lastly I want to take
a look at some starter master ring sets
to get the ball rolling and the first
thing is first go right on over to the
Pala co-manager and if you already
haven't make sure that you go to palico
equipment and you put on that plunder
blade I don't know about you guys but
you know I feel like we reached a point
in world where I stopped using plunder
blade because Jim we didn't really need
those materials you were harming farming
arch temperance things like that you're
gonna be wanting to farm everything you
can find and to that extent making sure
that you have the plunder blade is going
to help you greatly in addition to that
while we're on the note of palico when
it comes to powerful weapon there's a
couple things I recommend here either
going with something that has poison on
it or alternatively something that has
sleep on it and the main reason for this
is although you're not doing a ton of
poison or a ton of sleep you will see
those effects proc Ian hunts and they'll
just make things that much easier
whereas your palico really isn't doing
all that much damage
keeping up with pala codes after we've
done that make sure you head on over to
your room now this is especially
important if you had gone through the
betas because if you completed the betas
and you did all the hunts and the betas
once you go on over here you can talk to
that same guy we were just talking to
outside but you can claim your add-ons
and bonuses now it's not going to pop
anything up for me because I've already
claimed them but as you can see there's
quite a few things you can get in
particular early weapon upgrade mats
great joggers commendation bomb burrowed
tigrex a list certified pack and these
are just a ton of early materials that
are going to really really help to get
things rolling for you
in ice-born
after that's done the next thing we're
gonna do is take a look at the steam
works because the steam works is
basically a new minigame that was added
a nice born and this thing essentially
just poops out materials for you it's
almost completely random there's not
much you really do besides mash buttons
but you will get a ton of materials and
needless to say it is great to have
those things along so going on over to
the steam works here I'll talk to this
guy the tech chief and you'll have to
put or in the Steamworks to get them to
go once you've added some fuel in you
can help the steam works and then
basically we need to guess whether it's
gonna be extra angle or square every
time you get it right the bar is gonna
go up but if you get the bar all the way
filled up you could see how it's yellow
right now if you get all of it filled
with red you're gonna end up with a
bunch of stuff and what I want to point

out right now is if you look at the
left-hand side of the screen all that
stuff you see popping up that's just
stuff I'm getting right now I'm getting
armor spheres I'm getting max potions
I'm getting mega potions there's a tranq
bomb that just came in there's some mega
nutrients there's more mega nutrients
there's an armor sphere and then every
now and then you get the mega bonus
you're lucky the cats can actually help
you do this by telling you where to go
but I mean it a lot of this is just
random but pressing
[Music]
there we go look at that full power
you'll get a fun little cutscene where
everything goes crazy we're gonna skip
that I'll save her for you guys but you
can see ton of Gourmet vouchers heavy
armor spheres silver legs celestial wig
vibrant prints which let you get some
really really nice stuff and that whole
list you saw right there was just a
bunch of crap that I got from doing that
minigame for a whopping what did that
take me a minute 20 seconds anyway once
you get your weapon print one over to
the Eldar melter because keep in mind we
are able to melt some good stuff and in
particular with your prints you can meld
the new rarity 9 type stuff so pure
crystals dragon bones favoring gems I
wouldn't suggest using it on these you
can quite literally just farm these up
out in the world but something like a
favoring gem and any other gems that
you're having trouble getting to drop in
master rank you can of course get those
with the new Weberian prints now moving
on from there I want to take a moment to
talk about the close fall because the
clutch claw is in my opinion the most
dynamic change to monster hunter we've
had in a long time it completely changes
up the flow of fights and it's a lot you
can do with it I must face the thing
which you see me doing right now is you
just crush fall on you hit triangle you
do an attack and that creates a weak
spot on the monster and now any
subsequent attacks to that weak spot for
roughly about a minute or two
going to do bonus damage and see how
there's four little corner symbols when
I'm heading the monster in the weak spot
that indicates it's a weak spot a little
dot on the bottom indicates a crit and
if you don't see either of those things
that need you're just hitting a regular
spot now in addition to that you can
launch the monster by rambling on using
the flesh ball
now there's two primary conditions to
fulfill this but the basic gist is to
grapple onto the face redirects to a
wallet circle and then hit right trigger
to send it flying into the wall now the
main things you have to keep in mind to
accomplish this is one the monster
cannot be enraged because if it's
enraged
you can't redirect it you can't wash it
- it's long and - you have to have
something loaded to your sleep if you
don't have anything loaded into the
slinger you can't actually launch the
monster it doesn't matter what's in this
linger Moss pretty much anything you can

pick up and put the sucker
you can use to launch the monster now
the main way to check is when you jump
on the monster if you hit circle and it
redirects
you're gonna be able to launch this if
you hit circle on the monster just it
doesn't even care go ahead and hit
triangle create a weak point and get on
out of it because if it doesn't move
when you hit circle it is enraged and if
it doesn't move the circle is shoot so
I'm not gonna move just by you putting a
bunch of stuff into its face outside of
that there's a couple other cool things
Plus Kostas looks alright here I can
ramble on and then he go into the switch
axe discharges she's super satisfying to
do but the main use of course is going
to be creating weak points and
redirecting monsters into walls
now as for how much damage are going to
get on the monster this is obviously
going to vary greatly something that's
small the control Bonacci you'll see
damage in the range of 100 to 200
something that's bigger like a Naja now
get damaged in a range of two to 300
this also scales less than the help of
the monster as well as multiplayer
settings so for fighting an elder dragon
multiplayer you can see damage upwards
of the thousands who properly launching
it to a wall so needless to say make
sure you get this down because being
able to launch the monster a wall it's
not only going to do a ton of damage but
it's also going to create your moment of
opportunity where everyone can attack
now before we wrap up I want to take a
look at two relatively early sets that
can help you get things rolling in terms
of master rank and ice-born the first is
a blade master oriented set and the
second is gonna be a gunner set now you
really do need to focus on upgrading
yourself sooner rather than later
because otherwise you are going to hit a
progression wall in ice-born where
basically the monster is hit like
they're all arc tempered and you just
can't quite survive just to put things
into perspective here you know taking a
look at some endgame sets from the end
of world you can see defense 395 414 445
429 401 so you know kind of averaging in
the 400s the two master ring sets I have
are at 625 and 683 and then is a
staggering increase to your defense
so anyway jumping on into the sets the
first one is as I mentioned a blade
master oriented set you could run this
with pretty much any bladed weapon and
it'll do you right so basic just here is
joggers hal mail and bam braces all
alpha and then used by a todos for his
alpha coil and his beta Greaves you have
a fair amount of gem slots in here in
particular quite a few bigger gem slots
which will let us work in things like
tenderizer I do suggest you have a
earplug jewel because the set comes with
love before earplugs already then I
dropped a vitality into my weapon to
give me that health boost but the reason
I like this set so much for breaking
your way into master rank is because
both jog risks and bio todos our master
rank 1 monsters so you can hunt them
incredibly early and get this set
together and there's a lot of attractive
things going on here we have the health

Watch video from 09:00 - 12:00

boost at level 3 to help maintain
survivability
we have weakness exploit our slots for
weakness exploit to help keep our damage
up we have that attack boost level 4 or
a little boost to our raw as well as
some more crit and then in particular
having access to both earplugs level 5
and a vaild extender level 3 is going to
really really help yourself ability
especially as you first start fighting
these master rank monsters now late-game
you typically wouldn't need both of
those skills you know a lot of players
would consider those crutch skills
basically but if this is your first time
making your way into what is essentially
a G rank experience being able to block
out those roars and being able to roll
way the hell out of the way of
whatever's coming at you is gonna ensure
that you're actually learning the fights
as opposed to getting caught in a war
and one-shot so all in all a very
well-rounded set that'll help kind of
push you on in to ice-born amber turn
particular with the polar mobility
you don't need level 2 that's just what
I had in there but I would suggest
having at least one point in polar
mobility because this is going to
prevent any of the slowdown that occurs
when you're in hoarfrost reach basically
just allowing you to you know keep
moving without getting bogged down as
the snow builds up on your character so
even one point of that is actually very
very nice to have moving on to our
second set and this one is the gunner
set it does take a little bit longer to
get going because you're gonna have to
make your way up to master rank level 3
hunts but this set is largely based
around the Nardo cougar gear now just to
show you what this thing can do in
action here's a quick clip
so as you saw right there this set does
absolutely disgusting amounts of damage
and I wish there was something that was
earlier for Gunners but Narga Kouga is
the first real set that is in a sense
oriented towards Gunners back in g-unit
who goes to known for having basically
the best light bogan in the game and I'm
actually using the Narga light bogan
right now which has rapid-fire peers -
there's a couple other life events that
rapid-fire peers - but it is very very
strong and I do think it has a good
chance of kind of defining the Gunung
meta for ice ball so to that extent this
set is kind of built to amplify that
you're gonna want the Naga helm and
Greaves both alpha the male and beta
Kulu vambrace is beta will give you some
pointing critical boost and then the
Bayeux coil beta is pretty much just
there because it has the slot for crit
boost and it's going to give us the
health boost at level 3 but when you
pull this all together I mean this very
much resembles kind of an endgame
medicine from world I mean we have Krita
at level 7 and we have crit boost level
3 we have peak performance level 3 we

Watch video from 12:00 - 15:00

have piercing shots at level 2 and on
top of that we have the health boost at
level 3 to help the survivability and of
a window level 3 which is just gonna
help us with our rolls and get it round
so all-in-all this set will basically
probably carry you once you make it to 2
mr3 you can farm Narga I would bet this
set could carry you until the end of
master rank in all honesty because with
all the critical plus piercing shots
plus a spare shot you do a disgusting
amount of damage as a gunner I've since
getting to set done I've I've begun to
actually like this even more than my
switch exponent but either way guys that
is going to wrap things up for this
really just want to get a quick video
out to kind of help folks you know get
out there and get the ball rolling if
you will I am streaming a ton of
ice-born right now so as I have time I'm
going to be breaking up those streams
and uploading them to the channel I know
a lot of folks we're asking about that
and I do plan on doing a whole slew of
build videos but obviously you know it
takes time to get to endgame and farm
all this
up so stay tuned for that otherwise
thanks for coming on by appreciate the
support as always this helps you out at
all
I'd appreciate y'all drop and a like and
other than that I will see you guys next
time
