*For those like me who started playing recently, and can't find SOS Sessions:* There's a 6* Event Quest of Zorah Magdaros, called 'Gaze Upon the Dawn'. It's basically the same as the optional quest, but it gives more zenny and you can do it repeatedly. Have a good farm my fellow hunter! :>
Bro THANK YOU, I have been using this strategy all day and I was 2 parts away from what I’m trying to make and SOS flares just stopped showing up and I was so frustrated
I am embarrassed to say: I had absolutely NO IDEA you could shift where the cannon was pointing, I was just running back and forth frantically hoping the shots were lined up while grumbling about wanting a way to position them better. You just made my life so much easier so thank you, now I am going to go cry.
I got mine for the third tries, and luck is on my side, I actually got 3 zorah gem in one fight. not to mention I fainted while fighting the dragon, got charged and blasted by a damn meteor while im down lol.
Tip to kill him faster: go to the far left of the wall and jump down to the ship, you’ll find the dragonator that’ll do about 3600 damage and 3 cannons next to eachother 2 of Which are loaded by npcs this makes the fight go a lot quicker. U should also shoot down the rocks from above him in the first stage, the do about 500 damage a hit that’ll speed up stage 2 even more Hope this is useful to someone 👍
@@igiornogiovannahaveadream649 the rocks hang on the cealing, you pick up sone stone for your slinger and shoot them while in range. Nothing too complicated.
I just started playing this game recently, and I’m sure everyone here has probably moved on from this, but I am currently farming him for the armor so I can be comfortable in high rank. I have noticed that he has an event quest, called something like “the Glow of Dawn” or something. I’m new to event quests so I am not sure about this but I’ve seen this quest over and over again and it gives good materials.
Using the cannons on the boat is better, there are 3 cannons with 2 npc's loading them, you can also use the dragonator(or how ever it's spelt) from there. To get to the boat you run to the far left of the barricade, you can jump down from there
When it slams its arm agains the wall you can jump to its arm, there will be a path on its shoulder, climb to its head and break the core on its head after a wile the core will be active again and you can break it again. Or when it gets close to the wall you can one shot bind it, this will allow you to jump directly on its head. (I just found this out today when creating a new charachter XD)
Just filter for High rank and Zoras, you get only that one. It seems that the two destructible magma block on either side of Zorah count as broken part and might increase the drop rate for parts, gems included but I'm not sure about that part.
The optional quest appears roughly after like 6 or so quest/expeditions (need someone to confirm this) after which it will last for a time period of two quest. So you can do the optional quest twice before it disappears and you have to wait again or join another person's quest. Also special events like during Halloween has the event quest for Zorah Magdaros for endless farming during the duration of the event so make full use of it.
Literally just replay the Zorah mission and mine his material like any other ore. I got his full set or armor and great sword in less than 2 days. The gem isn’t from breaking anything; it’s a random drop but it will eventually drop. If it’s your first time playing Zorah, use a voucher.
lol... so if you actually want to get the gems instead of mining randomly- all you need to do is to go to the head when he stands up and break the 4th magmacore which is his head. you have to choose to either kill nergigante or break his head because they happen at the same time
You can repeat optional quests as long as they are in you list. The last zorah quest stays in you quest list for two quests so you can actually do it twice in a row solo if you wanted, not once.
夏目りん to be fair most elder dragons shown to you first in monster hunter tend to be easier. I do wish that he was more like dire miralis but he’s fun none the less.
I’m just going for all high rank elder armour then going for the rest. I just wish there was a transfer between saves. Not like you give high rank to new character but you can when they hit that level. Usually make two characters one man and the other woman but the grind is real in this game so can’t be asked to farm it all again.
There's alot better armor you will be able to make over this set if you continue the high rank main quest. This set has horrible resistance so its honestly not worth the grind unless you just like how it look
I don't know if that is supposed to happen, but I could go online without xbox live gold (don't ask me how, it just worked) and got an event quest for zorah magdaros. After the game was updated I could not play online anymore, but the quest for zorah magdaros is still here and I can repeat it as much as I want. I don't know if I'm just lucky or something like that, but it works pretty good to farm him offline.
You don't need Xbox live gold to go online. You only need Gold to play with other players and join partys. Event quests are shown for online and offline
I've experienced a problem that makes this a hassle... When I alt Tab to say change a RUclips video while playing, I get regular disconnects from the games multiplayer system... Have NO idea why but I cannot listen to anything else while playing this game if I wish to have Multiplayer available to me.
Troy Ziegler the mission itself its already high rank but if ure asking how to get the last weapon on the zorah's tree u will need the some of the last boss material too so u cant get it just from farming zorah's materials
AheadArtifact40 I’ve started noticing that too I mean can’t blame them cause it’s a easy to farm gear/weapon set so having it be beastly would be a cheat but it’s didn’t have to be so bad lmao
TheRoyalPixelzDE I feel you there bro. I need 2 gems. One for my armor and one for my sword. If your playing on psn feel free to add me so it can go by faster. My psn is BrokenNPC
Ha 5 farms with 1 gem that is fucking incredible like above said can go 20 runs with zero gems hell I have just done 5 not even close to a gem, if your complaining over 1 after 5 then wait until 20+.
Do you think its possible in the future to change your character from female to male? (For money or free idc) cause i play female and the Zorah & Xeno Armor are the coolest one but they only looks fk awesome only for male :( i dont want to start a new game (i pay so much time to farm so much materials)
In my opinion this set is insanely underwhelming i beat the game and i wish i could use this and actually make something of it because it looks so nice
I know I'm months late on this and I've searched the internet for answers but I just cannot get this goddamn quest to spawn. I'm hr 65 and its one of the few remaining quests I need to finish up my optional. I did several high rank quest yesterday with zora h not showing up. Xenon shows up no problem but I cannot get this fucker to show up. I heard doing a sos might help but I dont know if it would register as complete since I am not the host. Any suggestions?
I dont even bother. If i get a gem i get a gem, but the drop rate is so low I refuse to farm 34 nergigantes and vaal hazak back to back just to get fucked 34 times in a row. Sooooooo. I just play the game like a normal person, and then do my weekly. Get my gold ticket, trade for whatever bullshit gem I need. Im on with it taking me several weeks to get what I want, because thats how the old school MH games were. It is far easier to get mats now. Just like now im trying to get the leviathan GS. Cant bc 90% of the pugs cant handle vaals cheap garbage breath spam. So again, fuck that, wait a week and get a gem. Saves countless hours of frustration of a fight that can fuck off. Mag is just boring.... running around mining and waiting for cannons to be loaded. YAAAAAWN. I play the game to have fun. HR 54 right now and havent had to really "farm" yet.
I fought him and beat him four times and got only one ridge so far. I cant make shit. I don’t have ps plus. Fuck this. I’m going to beat the game and then return it. It’s an rng slog

Hey it took me until after fighting zorah magdoros around 10 times to find out
I didn't either
Same! I was so angry, that I couldn't change the way they shoot, but then suddenly I saw, that I could interact with its sides!
Cameron Baker i had no idea either😂😂
I'm a fucking idiot
So i fought Zorah over 25 times, used all 5 of lucky vouchers and using lagania set bonus for extra loot. I got 1 gem. That shows my luck 😂
done it 8 times, got 0, my friend who helped me 4 times got 5 :|
Btw legina armor is terrible against zorah
@@Wetaiscoolstill it increases the drop rate unless there’s another armor that does that.
i got 5 gems at once in a multiplayer mission with no vouchers

Is it only me who thinks the zorah magdaros armour looks like saurons armour from LOTR
Connor Wade that what I said 😂
Exactly what I thought
I thought of Deathwing from WoW tbh
It reminds me more of a Dark Souls 3 type of aesthetic
Yeah one reason why i want it
Using the cannons on the boat is better, there are 3 cannons with 2 npc's loading them, you can also use the dragonator(or how ever it's spelt) from there. To get to the boat you run to the far left of the barricade, you can jump down from there
WHERES MY DRAGONATOR
Another thing you can do is change the target to Zorah and you'll only get his quest
Haha as if he didn't mention that
I know comparing things to Dark Souls is pretty much tedious or annoying, but the armor does remind me of armor in Dark Souls.
Vegadra i thaught exactly the same thing

Destroying his hidden parts increases Gem drop chance (the slabs of rock hidden throughout)
Didn't even know you could change the angle/position of the cannons. Nice!
Had 2 💎 drop on 3rd encounter, Life Is Good
Same
Thanks man, this was actually useful
Due to these vids I now own the game keep it up can you give tips on certain weapons like the bow? Like which armor to run with
Yes! But that is where I will be also crowdsourcing info from some Monster Hunter veterans to make sure the information is as valuable as possible.
Gajin Hunter made a vid on a bow set not to long ago so check that out.
Literally just replay the Zorah mission and mine his material like any other ore. I got his full set or armor and great sword in less than 2 days. The gem isn’t from breaking anything; it’s a random drop but it will eventually drop. If it’s your first time playing Zorah, use a voucher.
Well... Me and my friends just started playing this on PC recently and when you search, nobody is doing this quest. :(
Ben Scott-Pye same here
I swear to god no matter how many times I do this, the gem won’t drop. I’ve gotten 100 carapace already 😂 but no gem
I got the gem from him after doing the assigned mission. Guess I got really lucky.
You can pick the monster you want to farm
+Adam Ripley bruh he meant that you can pick your Monster as a target so only quests with that monster will be shown
+Adam Ripley when you search for sos's
Just select zorah magdaros as the target...easy
PC160 or you just don't because his armor and weapon are shit 💁🏻
not his HBG it is the only one that can be used for effective cluster spamming
lol... so if you actually want to get the gems instead of mining randomly- all you need to do is to go to the head when he stands up and break the 4th magmacore which is his head. you have to choose to either kill nergigante or break his head because they happen at the same time
You just drive off nergy. You also don't have to fight nergy. Just keep running around going for other cores and nergy just gets bored and leaves.
Anyone know why I can’t craft the armor? Just killed him for the second time and scored a gem but the armor doesn’t pop up to craft...
Nicholas Pomicpic did you do high rank
You have to continue the story. After quest after that one should unlock it.
MSXPERTFOX awesome thanks
niwink not patched I just did this last night and got gems 50% of the time it's so worth
+ibleed4creed it isn't Zorahs Armor is useless
This doesn’t work nowadays sadly since no on sends sos
Thank you just thank you. Two days and not the one i want. Thank you so much i was about stop. Thanks
I'll be on all day today if you still need that help!
Thank you now that I know what to do I'll be able to craft the door blades out of him
You can repeat optional quests as long as they are in you list. The last zorah quest stays in you quest list for two quests so you can actually do it twice in a row solo if you wanted, not once.
And the alternative? What if no one is playing?
you can solo him. he's fairly easy compared to the other monster... such a same... the elder dragon barely even kos me...
夏目りん to be fair most elder dragons shown to you first in monster hunter tend to be easier. I do wish that he was more like dire miralis but he’s fun none the less.
FFS! I knew there was a way to change cannon position >.
I’m just going for all high rank elder armour then going for the rest. I just wish there was a transfer between saves. Not like you give high rank to new character but you can when they hit that level.
Usually make two characters one man and the other woman but the grind is real in this game so can’t be asked to farm it all again.
Only if this work now and days can never found SOS flares for anything, also can use the melding pot to get the gems you need one golden wyvern thing
I just need the spray armor so I can get out of my low rank Orion gear and stop looking like blue Santa Claus
If I go on events there is always a quest called gaze upon the dawn and its always there
only reason im farming this guy is for the gem and thats only for HANDICRAFT CHARM
everyone is farming him for that reason :) And we all seem to have the worst of luck with it
What's the handicraft charm? I'm new to the game :/
@@TheVAGNETTO handicraft gives you more sharpness
Just got 2 gems today mostly due to the Lagaina set. I wish the Lagaina set would help with Rathain rubies...
This was great. Thanks!
I’ve been looking for a video to show me how to Ues the gems
What weapons do you have in the vid because I think it’s a skin for the dual blades or is it an actual weapon
2 years late but if your still wondering they seem to be the bazelguese dual blades
What if there isn’t any SOS
There's alot better armor you will be able to make over this set if you continue the high rank main quest. This set has horrible resistance so its honestly not worth the grind unless you just like how it look
Got a gem second try. Thanks!

How do you get the high rank version of the quest?
Troy Ziegler
the mission itself its already high rank but if ure asking how to get the last weapon on the zorah's tree
u will need the some of the last boss material too so u cant get it just from farming zorah's materials
kill Xeno'jiiva
I just got 2 gems in a single battle by shooting him in the mouth as much as possible with the 1 shot, cannons and ballistas
Are there any other ways to fight him because I can't find anyone who is fighting him
You can do it solo. I'm just not lucky enough to get the gem. I'm just started playing a week ago
There are never any SOS flares
Yeah same here, probably no new player i guess
I tried to do what you said and it didn't work
So i had questions to but the only way to do it is to fight zorah magdoros u dont get it from the magmacores u get it by the fights end rewards
Would not the Standard Legiana set be better and easier to come by?
What erapon u using in this gameplay? Dual blades?
Can't find any SoS flares, does this only work if some other person is on this specific quest?
Once you get to high rank and go on an expedition, is everything the hard version, or do i need a quest to hunt a more powerful legiana?
Farm zorah to make weapons don’t waste your time on the armor it doesn’t hold up at all looks nice but can’t even stand up to zorah
Merk City His weapons are bad too imo,green sharpness just makes you bounce off Against A lot of monsters
AheadArtifact40 I’ve started noticing that too I mean can’t blame them cause it’s a easy to farm gear/weapon set so having it be beastly would be a cheat but it’s didn’t have to be so bad lmao
+AheadArtifact40 handicraft gems and charm? No Problem anymore
zIReapZ It really depends cuz I rather run other skills that help it with charges or dmg etc. Without giving up slots to give a weapon sharpness.
AheadArtifact40 weapon sharpness is absolutely good. Better than any attackboost
Just keeps saying no sos found

What happens if you don't have access to online sessions??

they drop at the end of the mission from the reward .. but extremely rare
Just did my first one after the story ones and got the gem straight away. Is that rare?
when do you stream
whenever I can... there isnt a set schedule though
