Monster Hunter Myth's

So whats the most far fetched thing you've heard about monster hunter?

The first thing I can think of is, " - Affinity will make the monster stagger more often then the + Affinity", this obviously false, but it was passed around quite a bit that I almost believed it

Interesting, wonder why someone started that myth o_O

Another myth was that only Susano Blade could cut off Lao's tail (like it says in the description) but Lao can't have his tail cut off, period

idk, but I nearly believed until I read a faq stating damage alone affects staggers, not affinity.(I know that affinity affects damage, but stagger is damage based alone)

do you know why the laos tail myth started because in monster hunter freedom 2 while the lao shan would move and his tail waged you could see a line were you would be able to cut it off

Mark: Oh really? Ha, I guess I can see that happening as a myth

Ry: The stagger limit is, like you said, is strictly based on raw damage
And different parts of the monster have different stagger-limits

i thought the stagger limmit was fully based on when causing enough damage for instance rathalos has 4000 hp every 300 he staggers kinda like that right ?

Yeah, but not on every part of the body... for example,

= Rathalos =

As you can see, the stagger limit is different from where you hit the wyvern, the neck and wing has the best stagger while the head (though it takes the most damage) is the weakest for stagger

hmm all right pretty kool

Staggering can also lead into what is known as "headlocking" where you damage all parts of the monster to near stagger, then chain all the spots so the monster is at your mercy.

you can also stagger the one part of the body like the head for example and re-stagger them after they recover, if you kept striking the head during the previous stagger recovery, this also "headlocking".

note: in MHP2ndG, G Rank Monsters possess greater stagger limits then any other rank and it is very difficult to "headlock" a G Rank monster.

thats not like headlocking in the original MH
in that one u literally had a guy with a powerful lance attack his head 2-3 times till stagger then jump back and repeat
it was like epic if u could time it right

I remember doing headlocking with greatswords, worked best on Rath wyverns

oh i heard about headlocking dam that must have been funny as hell in mh

black dragons spear ftw if u had that it was game over to everything

Headlocking, I managed to headlock a G rank Rathian for about 5 minutes but then it took off and flew away.

Most Stupid rumor I've ever heard: You can cut Fatalis's tail off, my friend actually believed and spent hours trying to hack the tail off.

lol

Thats funny dude, the moment I found out you could cut tails off, I was trying to cut everything's tail off, (even fata ), its an easy mistake to make >_<

Myth: Petting the pig gives you more rewards


Mythes ain't a word

Haha, tell the to Sigurd

petting the pigs giving you more rewards is one of those I don't quite believe, I think it was just made as meat cooking practice, or just a random function really

lol what?

Haha, I think the pig was just put there so people can practice cooking meat, since its basically the same thing

but you can't cook the pig...

but its the same system, you time your action right after the music stops, if you do it partially correct you get a small heart - or in cooking terms a rare steak (unless gormet)
and if you time it just right, you get a big heart - or in cooking terms a well-done steak (or gormet steak)

Its the same music and everything

o I get it now
