Volcano gathering. I believe there is a guide in the FAQs section.

Gratz. ('v')

Any bugs that you guys know of? I once had a bug in Area 1 of the Mountain Stream. Can't even explain.

[iHena]

Glitch rangu such that it infinitely rolls and only long weapons can reach. Only one I know.

There's the scraps money glitch, of course.

Also, if you jump of a ledge/cliff just before the final minute at the end of a quest (after completing the quest, and you typically carve and/or do last-minute gathering)
then instead of doing the "huzzah" animation the player model freezes and just floats there in mid-air.

I like to do the second one. I do it often.

Um, my student cleared all Guild Hotspring and Village quests, why hasn't he gotten the award for clearing all quests?

Do Training School. Clear all 6 at least once.

Yeah! We figured it out too. In the middle of lancing a Hapul to hell.

Hi, all. I just reached HR4, and I am about to tackle my first HR Royal Ludroth. After spending gosh knows how long to complete my rathalos set, I want to get the most out of it. I use LBG, and I have a Los LBG+ and I just got myself the Yukumo Bullet Rain LBG. If I use my Los LBG, my skill would be ATK(M), Fire+2, Debilitate and RF Fire. If I use my Yukumo LBG, I can get ATK(L), Fire+2, Debilitate but no RF Fire. Yukumo LBG also has higher raw compare to Los+. which would serve me better? Thanks in advance!

[iHena]

Los LBG. A +5 in attack power would rarely outdo the punch a +20% boost in fire damage would do, coupled with rapid fire. Then again, its been a while since I played so I'm not sure now.

Use the Los LBG - superior clip sizes if I remember correctly.

Also, my student took a screenshot on his phone of an Uragaan and Rangurotora. STUCK IN THE SAME TRAP. MIND = BLOWN

[yurisangja]

Thanks for the quick response, guys.

I have tested both, and I was able to finish the quest faster with the Los LBG+. However, I never got hit when I was on Bullet Rain LBG. It looks like RF needs better timing than non-RF shots..

Thanks again!

As mentioned in the Intro topic, I've unlocked the Amatsumagatsuchi urgent quest in the hall, but got hammered the first time I took it on and haven't tried it since.

What would be a good set of equipment to fight it with? I'm mostly a Blademaster hunter, and like Gunlances but can also use Longswords and hammers quite well. I'm also reasonably good with a bow, if it comes to that (I suspect it will, considering how much time Amatsu spends in the air) but not so much with bowguns.

Any set will do. If I don't have the stuff already I can always go and make it.

[iHena]

Unfortunately, all I can suggest is get a good HR equip, a fire or dragon weapon, and fight. Information on what issues you have with it is needed for more help.

Hmm, well I believe I could stick it out in a long battle with it, but the problem I had was I was taking too much damage too fast. Quite possibly, I wasn't doing too much damage in return too.

The best dragon weapons I have are the Obelisk gunlance (33 Dragon damage, 225 iirc Raw) and the Fang Splitter longsword (220 Raw iirc and 15 Dragon). I also have the Silver Rook gunlance which I could upgrade to Gun Chariot with Akantor materials.
Strongest raw defense armor set I have would be Jhen Mohran blademaster set, but I could always make some others.. I also have the Sand Crest Bow with 195 raw & 25 Dragon, and the Brass Corda III with 235 Raw and 22 Fire which I use with the Urugaan gunner set.
Will any of these be sufficient? If not, a suggestion would be appreciated.

Gun chariot is great. Upstab the Amatsu. Use farcaster when in trouble.

[iHena]

What I suggest is to go on a trial run: Run around with the monster without ever doing a lick of damage. Think about how you can evade the attacks it throws at you. Which isn't many, really. If gunlancing, I suggest finding which attacks are better blocked and which attacks are easier dodged or just plain sheathe and run.

Next is equipment, I highly suggest Silver Sol if you use a non specialised set, great skills all round. A specialised set would work better for gunlance though.

Potions, a good HR set would allow you to take maybe <75 damage from most attacks. Gunner wise, maybe a bit more. Save potions for when you really need it and time them well.

Last, farcaster is good if you are afraid of the ritual call. (Keeping spoilers)

And well, hit it till it dies, don't get hit.

For GL you need the following skills: sharpness+1, guard+1, gunnery king.

Auto-guard is not really useful vs Amatsu IMO but there are not really better choices.

Well, it's safe to use auto-guard anyway because Amatsu is a tough nut to crack. I find him more difficult than Alatreon.

Hmm... so I'd be looking at a mixed set then?
Using Athena's A.S.S. (unfortunate name there) it would appear that my best option would be Vangis Helm, Coil, and Leggings with Steel Vambraces S and Acorn Mail S. If I were to pick a skill other than Auto-guard for this fight, I'd probably go for Will. Recov (stamina restoration boost)or constitution, but I'll have to see whether that's possible with the deco slots I have available after gemming the armor for those skills above.
Another possibility is a mix of Damascus, Urugaan and Vangis pieces for the same result, but higher base defence.

Thanks guys, I'll take him on later today.
