Harley Ellis I know what you mean. I played Freedom and Freedom 2, but it wasn't until Freedom Unite that I was able to comfortably get past low rank. So glad I stuck with the series though, since at Unite I got my girlfriend into it and we've played hundreds of hours together.
***** Can you pleae add a link to the other three parts? I had a bit of difficulty finding them. :/ Love the beginner's guides, though. They have helped me a lot. :-D
Hey, don't make fun of Gregg. He didn't die from just any great jaggi, you know. He died from a being that is stronger than any monsters combined. *the GREATER Jaggi*
I love these beginner tips and monster Hunter 4u. I recently just got into it and it’s my first monster Hunter game and these videos carried me all the way the gore mangala. I still watch them every so often and learn something new every time, this my 5th time coming back just to really understand everything I can. While not a bad thing at all, at least in my book, because it wasn’t stated in the game nor talked about in this video, after completing all of the two star village quests, I had no idea to advance the story you had to go on an expedition. I didn’t think much of that feature and thought it was a cute addition just as arena. And so I thought I just had to complete enough guild quests to have village quests pop up as I was intending to do both at the same time. I ended playing all the way until I struggled with gore mangala, so much so that I felt the need of a second palico and finally looked online to see how to get one. After realizing I may have missed something, I looked everywhere and exhausted myself until finally settling down on just trying the expedition for fun, only then to find that I was finally able to advance the story just enough to get my second Palico and with a breeze as well since doing all those tedious quest grinding I did for the guild, the village quests up that point was significantly easy with all the gear and monster knowledge I had of them. Where I’m at now is with the second palico and understanding palico fortes, I got enough materials for a gore weapon I wanted, and just finished up the full gore armor set. It was funny to see that later on in the story, they play it off like he’s really strong and that I should be careful as I’m wearing the armor of the monster I just grinded. This simply is such a great game and I’m really into collecting and grinding and fighting lots and different bosses, so this series is PERFECT for me.
Jared you should hunt with some people on Twitch one day. Hunts are usually about 10-15 mins, you could switch people out after every hunt, and just keep rotating. It'd be a fun time, because you'd be able to take advantage of the livestreaming and be able to interact with the viewers. Because let's be honest, the Twitch chat is impossible to follow.
I was bored so I thought "why not play a game that I've never played" So I choose monster hunter and I chose 4 since it's many people's favorite and OMG I'm struggling I'm currently trying to fish and that damn orange monster guy keeps on bullying me.
After 65 hours on MH4U, I can say that is the best MH ever, BUT the easiest one too. So for new people is the perfect choice to start. What an amazing game. Hope that someday we can see and play a Next gen MH(PS4, ONE, PC) in terms of graphics(Like the exclusive for Japan MH online with cryengine 3) this saga deserves it
Handtomouth 8991 Trust me, MH4U is the easiest of all. I just finished the story, and i beat the amazing and beautifull Shagal Magal in 15 min. Yesterday I killed the Brachydios with a friend in 7 min :(. Poor Brachy he owned me in MH3U a lot of times xD. I'm on RC 5 right now and the only monster that really pissed me off is the F***** Queen Seltas+Seltas (Damn I hate her). The new monsters are incredible like the annoying Nerscylla. This is the best MH for beginners ;)
Lol. Seriously though I've played the demo and the graphics are very good tbh. Better than MH3U for the 3Ds but everyone was playing the Wii U version of that game so people didn't notice.
Thanks for making Monster Hunter videos Jared. You're the one who introduced me to the series back in 2015. And is now my favorite game series ever. Just wish I could've been there on day one back on PS2
Your beginners guide to MH3U helped me so much. But ive already started and gone very far into MH4U. I still plan on watching but Id love to see more from this series that isnt just beginners guides.
I've never played a monster hunter game, but your series makes me want to, since I watch your first 3 about a year ago. I really enjoy your work as a whole and love when you upload man, keep it up.
TheHornet79 its because nobody owns a wii u lol. But seriously, monster hunter is a japanese game and its super popular on handhelds since majority of people there own a handheld over consoles. I think there was a cult following for the psp versions before the games started coming out for 3ds.
You know, considering how much of a big deal Monster Hunter has become, I'm very surprised we didn't get a Monster Hunter Stage in Smash Bros. The very thought of Smashing while watching Monsters and Hunters have at it in the background just sounds awesome.
Who knows, maybe the next smash game will feature the Hunter or Cha Cha (with Kayamba as alternate costume) as playable characters along with MH stages with Monster hazards if Monster Hunter keeps up the pace in the west.
Gabriel Deola The Hunter wouldn't make sense as a character because he'd have too much variable equipment. If anything (provided Capcom allows it) they'd put either a Monster Hunter stage in the game (possibly fighting a monster boss in the stage itself) or they'd put one of the weaker monsters in as an assist trophy, like a Great Jaggi.
shunkwugga Yet, they still added Villager..... maybe, they could add the more iconic stuff for armors, such as the Rath armors, Gore, Seregios(?) and other well knows ones
Pit DarkAngel The Villager has no equipment. He has a set of tools that are standard for any player in the game and a default appearance. Monster Hunter by default has so much variance in terms of combat and armor design between characters it's difficult to make any one set the iconic go-to set. If anything what they would do is maybe have the Felynes as assist trophies or a team of Hunters fighting a Rathalos as a level hazard.
This first time this guide was put up back in the days of MH3U, you saved my bacon. You made the game worth playing, and now I have purchased 4U so I can improve my skills. Thank you, fellow Hunter!
I'm interested in this game, but I'm slightly cautious. Years ago, I tried Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii. As a newb, I was completely lost, didn't understand what I was supposed to be doing, and the game was so slow that I gave up out of sheer boredom. Since that time I've picked up a PS Vita and fell in love with Monster Hunter clones such as Soul Sacrifice, Toukiden, and Freedom Wars. I think I may be ready to give Monster Hunter another try, and I hear that Monster Hunter 4 is more newb friendly. Still, a small part of me is worried that Monster Hunter may simply be too complicated for me to handle. Then again, I'm basing this feeling off one failed attempt to play the series years ago, back when I had never played a game of this type before. Maybe I should just give it a shot and see what happens.
Just jump in head first. That's what I did with freedom unite and I absolutely love it now! You just have to be committed enough to play for awhile before you get to the really big monsters.
my first mh is mh freedom which is on psp. im used to play fast pace hack n slash such as dynasty warrior, so first time im playing mh i feel incredibly bore as fck also its very slow with all dat animation. but now im grateful im giving it chance at that time to adept the game gameplay. my advice try all kind of weapon first n find which 1 is suit with ur gameplay first (u can try master others weapon later when u alrdy have 1 weapon u truly master). do quest from scratch such kill minion monster quest instead jump off to the boss quest (such ass kill 5-10 mob, etc). later u will find out how this game work. trust me, its fell so rewarding when u kill the boss. even noob like me can find out how fun great sword is (slowest weapon). its timing-hit game try give it chance. sorry for bad english.
I was in your position once. Got the first Monster Hunter when it was released and got frustrated. Years later and beefed up by lots of tough games, I'm having a blast with it XD Just keep a cool head and you should be fine.
It's slow at first because it's degisned to teach you how to play and gives you boring missions only at the start to get you comfortable. They give you a lot of time to experiment with each weapon class and style before giving you harder missions. I was like you at first, lost on what to do. But once you get far enough, you'll see what the fuss is about. The singleplayer is very important as it scales down from multiplayer but gives you the same rewards. But multiplayer is where it's at, once you're comfortable, just hop in a lobby and fight anything that is around your rank. Fighting new monsters is always exciting so don't be afraid. This game is NOT Dark Souls, but you will faint A LOT. This game is completely about progression and every victory is satisfying against new monsters, acquiring new armour to wear and weapons to wield is why you play.
I'm an intermediate MH player (Played since MHFU but never G-Rank), so it's not for me but I want to ask you, cause your guides are awesome. Do you plan on making a video about MH weapons? I'm introducing my friend to MH and he doesn't know what weapon to choose. ProJared Plays!
cope winter I agree that his guides are very in-depth and very useful. But the absence of voice commentary is somewhat annoying to me. If you are reading the text, you are not watching the moves and if watching the moves you are not reading the texts. So the constant use of the pause button is mandatory for me. But even with this flaw, I still consider his guides as the best around. I can only dream about a guide of this quality and depth with proper audio thrown on top.
They're ALL good weapons, even the ones I never use I like. It all depends on his playstyle. If he wants to be quick and agile, Sword and Shield, Duel Blades, and the Insect Glaive are a good choice. Charge Blade, Hammer and Greatsword are good for people who want to hit like trucks. Lances for people who like to block and counter attacks, Hunting Horn for good damage and powering up your friends, Longsword and Switch Axes are a compromise between speed and power, and bowguns and bows for people that like to apply different statuses and special ammo to their weapons. You can really use any of them to do anything. Give him a basic rundown of the feel of the weapons and let him try out what he wants.
Considering every weapon type is available immediately when starting out the game, a player can try out every weapon until they find something suitable and likeable. Then to learn more about every capability of the weapon, they can either experiment for themselves or look up Gaijin's guides which honestly is the best way to go.
Yeah, I bought this on launch day and have not been disappointed. Out of the 80+ hunts with other people I've been on, only one or two has had slightly bad connection with the other people, the online works perfectly on the 3ds and it has enhanced the experience from MH3U on the 3ds
I just started a few hours ago and I'm still trying to get used to the UI and controls. Can I leave the village of Val Harbor without a quest? To just go gather and stuff?
Monster Hunter Veteran here. Really well put together and informative. Even learned a few things (like seeing which quest will increase your food and supplies) Great job!
***** I don't think you know what a weeb is if you just throw the term around like that. I mean I know what made you say it, but it doesn't make any sense in relation to what Zorua's avatar is.
Thanks ProJared for making these videos. I just got MH4U a couple days ago, & it's my first ever MH game. I feel the information in these guides will help me a lot.
I love monster hunter But iam kinda sad that in Monsters Hunter 4 Ultimate are no Underwater quest I liked them in mh3u And i know many other players hate them but its my opinion HVe a good one Hunters
I love it when gamers who are passionate about a game not only try to get the word out but take extra time to help new people get into the into the game. If it weren't for projared I would not have bought mh4u and i am sooooooo glad i did. thanks Jared i really apreciate it
Just watched the other 3 parts. I only have MHFU, do localized damage (ie severing tails, horns, etc) and different states (entraged, hungry, staminaless) still apply? So far I don't think I cut off any limb or anything, nor have I seen monsters go eat Popos when they were tired.
You can still cut/break their parts, but status ailment effect doesn't decrease the duration it have in MHFU. So you can just spam throwable items. (Especially throwing Poisoned Throwing Knives at Kushala Daora(MHFU)).
Jared... I love you but it's kinda disappointing to see you with Zamtrios armor. You should be fighting very late high rank monsters by now since you got the game 2 weeks early.
Ah I love Azure Rathlos. Btw I just fought Seregios today and he was kinda cool wasn't totally impressed. He is like a Tigerex but uses the air more than ground. You have an opinion on him?
Confession: I was using the low rank Jaggi set from beginning up until I hit the urgent quest to unlock rank 5 in multiplayer.... I'M SUCH A LAZY HUNTER AHHHHH
You cannot believe how much these videos helped me get into the game. I've been playing for half a year and with each Passing day, I love it more. Came back here just to say....thanks for making these. I'm gonna setup my wii and play Tri XD
No lie, I was literally about to check your channel for a Monster Hunter newbie guide, and what do you know, you upload one! Talk about customer service.
Some more tips: 1. You can also eat a ration while on a wall. 2. You can start climbing a wall when your weapon is unsheathed by rolling into the wall (B) and then pressing A. 3. You can jump off a wall you are climbing by standing still and pressing A. 4. If the monster is directly underneath you, press B to fall straight down while climbing the wall to get a good jumping slash on the monster.
Ik some people hate you but thank you for making the video it made me want to get the game and so I did from mh4u, generations, and now iceborne if it wasn't for you I would have not fell in love with this franchise and community I've always known it but I just really didn't know much about it until this video so thank you
Nicely done. I just recently got MH4U and I love it. One thing I definitely learned was the holding R and letting the monster tire itself out when you are mounted on it. I had been treating the mechanic like a race and anytime I saw that I would be unable to finish that race, I would just demount.
Great video, Jared, for an equally great series. I absolutely love Monster Hunter for it being both rewarding of skill, but also challenging. One tip I give to anyone is to just take your time... Monster Hunter is about 3 things: patience, position and timing. Take your time with the game, acquire items, improve your weapons as much as your knowledge and skill because once you go onward to High Rank and G-Rank, you won't get any favors - including no free items... as long as its not a MH on Nintendo consoles, that is.
All of these videos have been so helpful for me and gotten me into playing Monster Hunter games. They're so fun! And these videos are the only reason I felt confident enough to jump into these. Thanks for making this awesome series! :D
Also, here's a cool tip for when you first start playing: even if you are a blademaster, grab all the bowgun ammo and arrow coating from the supply crates every time. Why? So you can sell theme for extra cash. Though it's kinda annoying in this game that, unlike MHFU, you can't sell all the poison stuff at once, only 20 at a time.
Played 40 hours since the game launched, didn't know you could roll into a mount attack. I HAVE LEARNED! ...Maybe should have mentioned the two new weapons? Either way, Awesome video Jared.
Protip: For those without a C-Stick you can shrink the touch screen d-pad down and move it over towards the right. This will allow you to use it like a C-stick. Its a lot better than the original setup and will greatly help gunners.
gave a like, first 30 seconds, best intro ever... "you wanna be like this!!" "but... your doing.... this" fantastic upon finishing... your narrative is fuckin great lol, you dont studder or say "uhh" all the time, great video man
I feel like I should be paying Jared... I watched the other three parts for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and bought it the next day. I think the same thing is now going to happen from this video. Thanks Jared! :D
Wish this was out on release day of the game when I got it, but still picked up a few tips I didn't know about like the attack combos menu. Thanks ProJared
Thank you for getting me into Monster Hunter, ProJared! I mean that! It's seriously awesome and I already sacrificed 20 hours of my life to the game. Again, thanks dude!
Another good point for climbing is rolling into a wall with your weapon out and mashing A will let you skip sheathing. This doesn't work with weapons like Lance which don't roll
Amazingly put together. I'm not a beginner, but I still love seeing you put all the information together like this. Here's hoping for more Monster Hunter videos!
Best opening ever! Nice guide, Jared! Even though I've played this game for like, forever, there are still things that I didn't know. Until I watch this video, I didn't even realized that being in the virus mist, when infected, will drain your heath! I was always too busy trying to fight off the virus to even notice it. LOL Thanks for the tips! Man, I sure would love to play with you when I have the English version.
Thank you so much ProJared! I remember playing Monster Hunter on the PSP many years ago. The games have apparently gotten MUCH better. I watched all 3 of the previous vids from 3, and this one. I am VERY excited to start hunting the big beasts! MY Monster Hunter passion has grown again, and thank you so much for all of the help and tips! ^_^
I played through Monster hunter 3 ultimate and monster hunter 3 tri completely (almost finished G rank). I'm going to get this game pretty soon... I'm so pumped ! New attacks, new difficulties and more interesting village ! Hope this won't screw up my college marks... x) Whatever, I can't stop myself, I'm so hyped, this game looks amazing !
Jared. You should probably link to a playlist for the previous videos in the annotations. I certainly need to re-watch them myself and it would be appreciated by myself and future watchers alike.
I really love your videos. Such a great job and I love the intro :)
Ah how time changes
Eat smeg
"Use your best discretion, when it comes to mounting."
This is straight up good life advice, Jared.
@@HughMongusJazzhole you gonna have to say sike
This didn't age well huh
This shit aged like rotten mayo, I saw this fucker taking part of the looting and rioting in Seattle. What a piece of shit!
Lmao he should've taken that advice
I feel like I’m missing something here in the comments
MH4u full guide:
1.choose the Insect Glaive
2.spam R+B->X
3.profit
My best tactic
+London Musgrove apparently the only good one xD
+Levobertus lol I have gotten all the way up to Azure Rathalos doing that.
+London Musgrove I have gotten all the way through the game with that xD
Star knight armor + Fatalis glaive = Free win
+Levobertus Wow lucky you🐉
Be sure to watch the other three parts if you are completely new to Monster Hunter!
Minster Hunter pro tips? Played every portable iteration but didn't get good till around tri I would say.
Harley Ellis I know what you mean. I played Freedom and Freedom 2, but it wasn't until Freedom Unite that I was able to comfortably get past low rank. So glad I stuck with the series though, since at Unite I got my girlfriend into it and we've played hundreds of hours together.
I just directed my newbie friends to this and the other videos, thank you so much Jared
***** Can you pleae add a link to the other three parts? I had a bit of difficulty finding them. :/
Love the beginner's guides, though. They have helped me a lot. :-D
what hr were you when you made this video in guild and in story, also was that high rank zamtrios armor?
You should have uploaded for the "instead, you're like this" part when ur friend died to the Great Jaggi
Yes xD that was amazing
when did that happen??
KirklenGaming On jareds twitch channel he livestreamed monster hunter 4 for like 12 hours and they were just starting out
Hey, don't make fun of Gregg. He didn't die from just any great jaggi, you know. He died from a being that is stronger than any monsters combined.
*the GREATER Jaggi*
KennyTheGamer Well the Greater Jaggi *IS* the strongest of all elder dragons.
The fact that his 3DS survived at all was miraculous to say the least!
I love these beginner tips and monster Hunter 4u. I recently just got into it and it’s my first monster Hunter game and these videos carried me all the way the gore mangala. I still watch them every so often and learn something new every time, this my 5th time coming back just to really understand everything I can. While not a bad thing at all, at least in my book, because it wasn’t stated in the game nor talked about in this video, after completing all of the two star village quests, I had no idea to advance the story you had to go on an expedition.

This simply is such a great game and I’m really into collecting and grinding and fighting lots and different bosses, so this series is PERFECT for me.
Beyond based
Jared you should hunt with some people on Twitch one day. Hunts are usually about 10-15 mins, you could switch people out after every hunt, and just keep rotating. It'd be a fun time, because you'd be able to take advantage of the livestreaming and be able to interact with the viewers. Because let's be honest, the Twitch chat is impossible to follow.
agreed
He has already done that.
When? because i've been stalking the hell out of his twitter and twitch accounts and all i've seen is his quest for High Rank.
Aron Butler Apparently he streamed it for a while on Twitch with a friend a while ago. Or something like that.
Sentinull / Akeboshi doesn't mean he couldn't do it again
My friends and I refer to the act of fighting off the frenzy as "Fighting Spirit!" (A la Gurren Lagann)
That is pretty cool.
Imma use this, kudos to you and your friends.
You and your friends are some pretty rad dudes.
DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, BELIEVE IN THE ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU
you gotta use the Ancient Lance.
it's the drill that will pierce the heavens.
Anyone else wish he continued with every installment?
Even though I'm well into high rank quests and whatnot and knew these things, I still watched this because of how entertaining it was. Great job.
clicked on this vid not realizing its projared
this is my favorite little guide. I love the way how he talks, "go forward dear hunter" lol. this is awesome. need more people like him in this world.
I was bored so I thought "why not play a game that I've never played" So I choose monster hunter and I chose 4 since it's many people's favorite and OMG I'm struggling I'm currently trying to fish and that damn orange monster guy keeps on bullying me.
I’ve put 100+ hours into this game, and this series has taught me some things I didn’t know! Thanks a bunch!
This is my first Monster Hunter, and I'm really glad I got into the series!
It's exactly what I needed for the drought of games this year. :)
Did you keep playing?
I've been playing Monster Hunter since the PS2 original, but I'm still going to watch every Beginner's Guide video you ever make.
Anybody in here gearing up for their first Monster Hunter game?
The MH intro song fills me with endless joy since the first game. Now I return to my one true love once again.
Eh, preffered MH3 theme
Nothing beats MH3U intro.. NOTHING! 0:18
Nice vid Jared!
I got this game a while ago and put it down because I was confused. These videos he helped me pick it back up again. Great series!
After 65 hours on MH4U, I can say that is the best MH ever, BUT the easiest one too. So for new people is the perfect choice to start. What an amazing game. Hope that someday we can see and play a Next gen MH(PS4, ONE, PC) in terms of graphics(Like the exclusive for Japan MH online with cryengine 3) this saga deserves it
Hola
I thought 3U was suppose to be the easiest. Projared even said himself in the review that the game was actually harder than the previous game.
Handtomouth 8991 Trust me, MH4U is the easiest of all. I just finished the story, and i beat the amazing and beautifull Shagal Magal in 15 min. Yesterday I killed the Brachydios with a friend in 7 min :(. Poor Brachy he owned me in MH3U a lot of times xD. I'm on RC 5 right now and the only monster that really pissed me off is the F***** Queen Seltas+Seltas (Damn I hate her). The new monsters are incredible like the annoying Nerscylla.
This is the best MH for beginners ;)
oxZICKxo The story doesn't end at shagaru, and you're in low rank, so of course everything is easy.
You won't say that anymore until high rank and g-rank .....
please please PLEASE continue with this series in the future. It's very helpful for those of us interested in monster hunter but too confused by it.
The high resolution of the PC doesn't do this game's graphics justice.
SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!
Lol. Seriously though I've played the demo and the graphics are very good tbh. Better than MH3U for the 3Ds but everyone was playing the Wii U version of that game so people didn't notice.
Mike Pap 3U had better graphics, but 4U still has a better color scheme. :p
Thanks for making Monster Hunter videos Jared. You're the one who introduced me to the series back in 2015. And is now my favorite game series ever. Just wish I could've been there on day one back on PS2
Currently watching this for nostalgias sake lol
thank you i honestly didnt know how to fight the shake offs when mounting
im buying my first ever MH tomorrow, it will be 4U, thank you so much jared for the first guides, im going to watch it asap.
I'm guessing you liked it?
Bro chaotic gore's set is amazing, you have good taste
@@JaelinBezelI got my 3DS recently and am playing 4U
First time playing a Monster Hunter and I couldn't imagine a better introduction than these 4 vids, thank you!
I already know how to play the game, but these videos are still funny
eprepp same, I wish he upload more about hunts
Thank god Jared is making these guides, they got me hooked on monster hunter and I absolutely adore MH4U
10:19 this is my favorite part
Your beginners guide to MH3U helped me so much. But ive already started and gone very far into MH4U. I still plan on watching but Id love to see more from this series that isnt just beginners guides.
Who does jared think he is, some kind of pro
he be bittrippin'
I've never played a monster hunter game, but your series makes me want to, since I watch your first 3 about a year ago. I really enjoy your work as a whole and love when you upload man, keep it up.
If you enjoy games like Dark Souls that make you plan out your attacks and fight smart, then you'll love monster hunter!
I wish i had a 3DS..... well, back to MH3U!
I hope we get a Wii U port in the future.
TheHornet79 So far it looks grim as they claimed to not publish it on the WiiU, so it really depends on whether it gets enough support or not.
TheHornet79 its because nobody owns a wii u lol. But seriously, monster hunter is a japanese game and its super popular on handhelds since majority of people there own a handheld over consoles. I think there was a cult following for the psp versions before the games started coming out for 3ds.
#3DsMasterrace
Mewtwo i know you are joking, but pls stop it. Dont adapt that utter bs the pcbasementvirgins are pulling of
I gotta say you got me into Monster Hunter and your tutorials made a world of difference. Thanks for introducing me to these amazing games.
Is it true or rumor that more blood animated means more damage output (simple figured out weaker mob parts)?
Yup, the more thicker the blood splatter the softer the spot you're hitting with your weapons
YAY! Falling off that cliff with the Kecha S set is AWESOME. You can cover almost half that area just by running away from that freaking Gore Magala!
You know, considering how much of a big deal Monster Hunter has become, I'm very surprised we didn't get a Monster Hunter Stage in Smash Bros.
The very thought of Smashing while watching Monsters and Hunters have at it in the background just sounds awesome.
Who knows, maybe the next smash game will feature the Hunter or Cha Cha (with Kayamba as alternate costume) as playable characters along with MH stages with Monster hazards if Monster Hunter keeps up the pace in the west.
Gabriel Deola Assuming there will be another Super Smash Bros.
That said, there probably will be.
Gabriel Deola The Hunter wouldn't make sense as a character because he'd have too much variable equipment.
If anything (provided Capcom allows it) they'd put either a Monster Hunter stage in the game (possibly fighting a monster boss in the stage itself) or they'd put one of the weaker monsters in as an assist trophy, like a Great Jaggi.
shunkwugga Yet, they still added Villager.....
maybe, they could add the more iconic stuff for armors, such as the Rath armors, Gore, Seregios(?) and other well knows ones
Pit DarkAngel The Villager has no equipment. He has a set of tools that are standard for any player in the game and a default appearance. Monster Hunter by default has so much variance in terms of combat and armor design between characters it's difficult to make any one set the iconic go-to set.
If anything what they would do is maybe have the Felynes as assist trophies or a team of Hunters fighting a Rathalos as a level hazard.
This first time this guide was put up back in the days of MH3U, you saved my bacon. You made the game worth playing, and now I have purchased 4U so I can improve my skills.

Just jump in head first. That's what I did with freedom unite and I absolutely love it now! You just have to be committed enough to play for awhile before you get to the really big monsters.
my first mh is mh freedom which is on psp. im used to play fast pace hack n slash such as dynasty warrior, so first time im playing mh i feel incredibly bore as fck also its very slow with all dat animation. but now im grateful im giving it chance at that time to adept the game gameplay.
my advice try all kind of weapon first n find which 1 is suit with ur gameplay first (u can try master others weapon later when u alrdy have 1 weapon u truly master). do quest from scratch such kill minion monster quest instead jump off to the boss quest (such ass kill 5-10 mob, etc). later u will find out how this game work. trust me, its fell so rewarding when u kill the boss. even noob like me can find out how fun great sword is (slowest weapon). its timing-hit game try give it chance. sorry for bad english.
I was in your position once. Got the first Monster Hunter when it was released and got frustrated. Years later and beefed up by lots of tough games, I'm having a blast with it XD
Just keep a cool head and you should be fine.
It's slow at first because it's degisned to teach you how to play and gives you boring missions only at the start to get you comfortable.
They give you a lot of time to experiment with each weapon class and style before giving you harder missions.
I was like you at first, lost on what to do. But once you get far enough, you'll see what the fuss is about.
The singleplayer is very important as it scales down from multiplayer but gives you the same rewards. But multiplayer is where it's at, once you're comfortable, just hop in a lobby and fight anything that is around your rank.
Fighting new monsters is always exciting so don't be afraid. This game is NOT Dark Souls, but you will faint A LOT.
This game is completely about progression and every victory is satisfying against new monsters, acquiring new armour to wear and weapons to wield is why you play.
Go in with the mindset that this is a game that requires patience. This game has a story, so it IS easier to follow.
Thank you SOOOO Much ProJared, for introducing me to this amazing game. 55+ hours, HR3 in MH4U, I can't be more happy!
I'm an intermediate MH player (Played since MHFU but never G-Rank), so it's not for me but I want to ask you, cause your guides are awesome. Do you plan on making a video about MH weapons? I'm introducing my friend to MH and he doesn't know what weapon to choose. ProJared Plays!
GajinHunter has extensive guides covering all of the weapons here on RUclips.
cope winter I agree that his guides are very in-depth and very useful. But the absence of voice commentary is somewhat annoying to me. If you are reading the text, you are not watching the moves and if watching the moves you are not reading the texts. So the constant use of the pause button is mandatory for me.
But even with this flaw, I still consider his guides as the best around. I can only dream about a guide of this quality and depth with proper audio thrown on top.
See Gajin Hunter's guides for all your monster stomping needs.
They're ALL good weapons, even the ones I never use I like.
It all depends on his playstyle. If he wants to be quick and agile, Sword and Shield, Duel Blades, and the Insect Glaive are a good choice. Charge Blade, Hammer and Greatsword are good for people who want to hit like trucks. Lances for people who like to block and counter attacks, Hunting Horn for good damage and powering up your friends, Longsword and Switch Axes are a compromise between speed and power, and bowguns and bows for people that like to apply different statuses and special ammo to their weapons.
You can really use any of them to do anything. Give him a basic rundown of the feel of the weapons and let him try out what he wants.
Considering every weapon type is available immediately when starting out the game, a player can try out every weapon until they find something suitable and likeable. Then to learn more about every capability of the weapon, they can either experiment for themselves or look up Gaijin's guides which honestly is the best way to go.
Yeah, I bought this on launch day and have not been disappointed. Out of the 80+ hunts with other people I've been on, only one or two has had slightly bad connection with the other people, the online works perfectly on the 3ds and it has enhanced the experience from MH3U on the 3ds
I just started a few hours ago and I'm still trying to get used to the UI and controls. Can I leave the village of Val Harbor without a quest? To just go gather and stuff?
I'm pretty sure there's a specific quest for just gathering materials and whatnot!
Yeah, Harvest Tours are for that.
it's so weird and satisfying going back to this when I'm now G-rank when I used this to start the game XD
Can you do weapon guides?
If you want some really good guides, Gaijin hunter has some up. Check him out.
Social Dissonance has already released several weapon guides.
I also recommend Gaijin Hunter, he has really good guides.
or you could just practice on your own, thats the most fun way
Gaijin Hunters guides combined with the low rank weapon training quests will get you from Zero to Hero in no time flat!
Monster Hunter Veteran here. Really well put together and informative. Even learned a few things (like seeing which quest will increase your food and supplies) Great job!
WHERE'S MY ONE MINUTE REVIEW?
He's already done a full review
Zorua Hunter yes i'll spray all my bodily fluids every where if I get that review
Jared Juarez
wat
Oh, you.
***** I don't think you know what a weeb is if you just throw the term around like that. I mean I know what made you say it, but it doesn't make any sense in relation to what Zorua's avatar is.
Thanks ProJared for making these videos. I just got MH4U a couple days ago, & it's my first ever MH game. I feel the information in these guides will help me a lot.
I love monster hunter
But iam kinda sad that in Monsters Hunter 4 Ultimate are no Underwater quest
I liked them in mh3u
And i know many other players hate them but its my opinion
HVe a good one Hunters
80% of people hated them and im one of them :P
***** come on it was not that bad dude
Bunde Pia i hated it because they were so slow :P
***** yeah but i have brought some fresh air in this franchise
Let's not forget they waisted a slot with those God damn air containers....
I love it when gamers who are passionate about a game not only try to get the word out but take extra time to help new people get into the into the game. If it weren't for projared I would not have bought mh4u and i am sooooooo glad i did. thanks Jared i really apreciate it
Just watched the other 3 parts. I only have MHFU, do localized damage (ie severing tails, horns, etc) and different states (entraged, hungry, staminaless) still apply? So far I don't think I cut off any limb or anything, nor have I seen monsters go eat Popos when they were tired.
You can cut off tails and break parts, but monsters eating wasn't introduced until Monster Hunter Tri.
Oh good, that was the part I was more worried about. Thanks for all your help Jared!
cloudropis
Were you talking about Monster Hunter Four Ultimate or Monster Hunter Freedom Unite? (I assume the latter)
You can still cut/break their parts, but status ailment effect doesn't decrease the duration it have in MHFU.
So you can just spam throwable items. (Especially throwing Poisoned Throwing Knives at Kushala Daora(MHFU)).
I was talking about Freedom Unite. Only hunted the Giadrome and Bulldrome so far.
I glad that the water battles are gone, but I do miss Lagiacrus...
Jared... I love you but it's kinda disappointing to see you with Zamtrios armor. You should be fighting very late high rank monsters by now since you got the game 2 weeks early.
I'm trying to avoid late-game armor/monster spoilers.
Though I did sneak in the Azure Rathalos sword.
Ah I love Azure Rathlos. Btw I just fought Seregios today and he was kinda cool wasn't totally impressed. He is like a Tigerex but uses the air more than ground. You have an opinion on him?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much would you recommend the Zamtrios armor?
I have Rathian armor with Narjarala guards and Greaves. Also, he is most likely using high, if not fully upgraded zamtrios armor
Confession: I was using the low rank Jaggi set from beginning up until I hit the urgent quest to unlock rank 5 in multiplayer.... I'M SUCH A LAZY HUNTER AHHHHH
You cannot believe how much these videos helped me get into the game.
I've been playing for half a year and with each Passing day, I love it more.
Came back here just to say....thanks for making these.
I'm gonna setup my wii and play Tri XD
Does it feel like to anyone else that MH4U has worse graphics than MH3U.
more content, worse graphics?
Smaller system...
Pit DarkAngel
Content >>>>>>>>> Graphics.
Sabir Wilson I'm comparing both 3ds versions of MH3U and MH4U, not the Wii U version of MH3U
3U had better graphics but 4U has a better color scheme.
No lie, I was literally about to check your channel for a Monster Hunter newbie guide, and what do you know, you upload one! Talk about customer service.
Thanks projared if this video didn't exist I wouldn't have seen my favorite game series
Even a veteran like myself loves watching these videos from time to time.
I love how you make beginner's guide for MH. This will help me a lot.
Some more tips:
1. You can also eat a ration while on a wall.
2. You can start climbing a wall when your weapon is unsheathed by rolling into the wall (B) and then pressing A.
3. You can jump off a wall you are climbing by standing still and pressing A.
4. If the monster is directly underneath you, press B to fall straight down while climbing the wall to get a good jumping slash on the monster.
Ik some people hate you but thank you for making the video it made me want to get the game and so I did from mh4u, generations, and now iceborne if it wasn't for you I would have not fell in love with this franchise and community I've always known it but I just really didn't know much about it until this video so thank you
I've gotten to The third island already, yet this video still manages to teach me things I was unaware about! Thanks!
I'm not new to the series at all, but there were a few new UI elements that I had missed that this pointed out. Thanks!
I have been waiting for this series to come out , now i can die happy . Thanks Jared....
Capcom should seriously hire you for these. Hell, make Jared an in game teacher at Hunter Academy.
Nicely done. I just recently got MH4U and I love it. One thing I definitely learned was the holding R and letting the monster tire itself out when you are mounted on it. I had been treating the mechanic like a race and anytime I saw that I would be unable to finish that race, I would just demount.
ahh its good to see jared doing his part helping the nooblets to get familiar with the monster hunter franchise.God speed Jared God speed.
I'm so glad that they brought back subquests
Thats a good Jared. Making Guides to help the new generation of hunters... yeah...
Great video, Jared, for an equally great series. I absolutely love Monster Hunter for it being both rewarding of skill, but also challenging.
One tip I give to anyone is to just take your time... Monster Hunter is about 3 things: patience, position and timing. Take your time with the game, acquire items, improve your weapons as much as your knowledge and skill because once you go onward to High Rank and G-Rank, you won't get any favors - including no free items... as long as its not a MH on Nintendo consoles, that is.
All of these videos have been so helpful for me and gotten me into playing Monster Hunter games. They're so fun! And these videos are the only reason I felt confident enough to jump into these. Thanks for making this awesome series! :D
Also, here's a cool tip for when you first start playing: even if you are a blademaster, grab all the bowgun ammo and arrow coating from the supply crates every time. Why? So you can sell theme for extra cash. Though it's kinda annoying in this game that, unlike MHFU, you can't sell all the poison stuff at once, only 20 at a time.
ProJared helped me become a better Monster Hunter. Thanks Jared.
Kind of a side note for early on player, hunt the tatsucabra and make his armor isnt the strongest but will help a lot on the early runs.
Played 40 hours since the game launched, didn't know you could roll into a mount attack. I HAVE LEARNED! ...Maybe should have mentioned the two new weapons? Either way, Awesome video Jared.
I want to play Monster Hunter with Jared. He seems like a fun guy to play with.
Wow. There is a lot more to this game than what i played in the demo. I can't wait till I finally get my hands on it.
Well, I am 11 hours in now. Thanks to this video and the previous three I finally understand this game. My first day was pretty fun.
Protip: For those without a C-Stick you can shrink the touch screen d-pad down and move it over towards the right. This will allow you to use it like a C-stick. Its a lot better than the original setup and will greatly help gunners.
Loving this game, MH3U was my first one but am liking MH4U even more. The climbing and mounting mechanic is so fun
Great video as always
I used to play this on the PsP a while ago but I just bought the game today for my 3ds, thank you for this guide.
gave a like, first 30 seconds, best intro ever... "you wanna be like this!!" "but... your doing.... this" fantastic
upon finishing... your narrative is fuckin great lol, you dont studder or say "uhh" all the time, great video man
MH fan since the very start on PS2! Getting my copy this thursday! Can't wait man!!!!
I feel like I should be paying Jared... I watched the other three parts for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and bought it the next day. I think the same thing is now going to happen from this video. Thanks Jared! :D
I knew all about it, but the way you explained it was amazing!
I have memorized the intro....it is THAT awesome
Wish this was out on release day of the game when I got it, but still picked up a few tips I didn't know about like the attack combos menu. Thanks ProJared
Thank you for getting me into Monster Hunter, ProJared! I mean that! It's seriously awesome and I already sacrificed 20 hours of my life to the game. Again, thanks dude!
Another good point for climbing is rolling into a wall with your weapon out and mashing A will let you skip sheathing. This doesn't work with weapons like Lance which don't roll
Best Monster Hunter so far, and I also played/Watched Freedom Unite extensively (MHFU is still awesome by the way, but this just beat it).
Another hunt that i am glad to have pro jared guide me through on new mechanics. Good job!
Amazingly put together. I'm not a beginner, but I still love seeing you put all the information together like this. Here's hoping for more Monster Hunter videos!
Best opening ever!
Nice guide, Jared! Even though I've played this game for like, forever, there are still things that I didn't know. Until I watch this video, I didn't even realized that being in the virus mist, when infected, will drain your heath! I was always too busy trying to fight off the virus to even notice it. LOL
Thanks for the tips!
Man, I sure would love to play with you when I have the English version.
Thank you so much ProJared! I remember playing Monster Hunter on the PSP many years ago. The games have apparently gotten MUCH better. I watched all 3 of the previous vids from 3, and this one. I am VERY excited to start hunting the big beasts! MY Monster Hunter passion has grown again, and thank you so much for all of the help and tips! ^_^
I played through Monster hunter 3 ultimate and monster hunter 3 tri completely (almost finished G rank). I'm going to get this game pretty soon... I'm so pumped ! New attacks, new difficulties and more interesting village ! Hope this won't screw up my college marks... x) Whatever, I can't stop myself, I'm so hyped, this game looks amazing !
i love the narajala, probably my favorite monster so far
Jared. You should probably link to a playlist for the previous videos in the annotations.
I certainly need to re-watch them myself and it would be appreciated by myself and future watchers alike.
just 30 seconds of video and a already had the necesity of give like and coment.... man you're just awesome
