If you're using the clutch claw, you can tenderize Kirin's body to essentially nullify its defensive aura in that your attacks won't bounce even if they're below white sharpness. It's nice to be able to whack it in case you're having trouble hitting his teeny tiny little head.
Thanks for the comment on this! I was trying to find the right time to mention the clutch claw as it’s quite the game changer. I’ll definitely bring it up in one of the upcoming videos, especially as we approach Iceborne!
Pre-Rajang Shatterhorn quest be like 'HEARD YOU TALKING MAD S@&^ FOR SOMEONE IN GREASED LIGHTNING RANGE' and worse still you're in the Reach fighting in thick snow. Thick snow that sometimes hides where the lightning's about to fall.
@@hunterthejokethegamerandst5567 no idea and, even if he said he was going to on patreon or whatever I wouldn't hold him to that, he might do a new series or, switch to Rise and try to get base monsters out of the way b4 Wild comes out
Kirin has the dubious honor of standing among four base monsters whose turf wars involve receiving a part break, alongside Diablos, Radobaan and Uragaan.
Amazing to see you back making these again man! Just a small tip, the hunter notes can be misleading af, it's better to look at the actual hitzones for each monster because a lot of monsters have weak points that change over a fight (Anjanath's legs are an example)
Hey, glad to be back! And to be honest, it’s feedback like this that I love the most. It’s improved the series since the beginning by a TON, and even develops myself more as a hunter. I always appreciate the insight of others. Thanks for commenting! I’ll make this a point to mention down the road for sure!
Tbh, this monster matchup Playlist is just funny. Like it actully does give good info on monsters, but all in all it's funny, and I do hope you continue this all the way to big old black fatalis No pressure
His return heralded the king. No one, not even the shamans or the fortunetellers could have seen it. Yet the king now stands again beyond the wilds, ready to set us on this new frontier. I jus think it's funny you made the first Matchup video in a while only a few days before Monster Hunter 6 was revealed.
I remember the biggest struggle for me in this hunt wasn't actually the monster itself, it was that most of the arenas that we fight 'em in are just so... small, especially since they have so many AoE abilities.
This is one of the elder fights where I *genuinely* recommend utilizing elder seal. Even without a dragon element weapon, Kirin drops dragon pods from tenderizing (heavy weapons should use clutch claw boost to make this happen) and slinger burst dramatically increases the efficacy of elderseal buildup per pod. Save it until Kirin has an aura-there are two levels of it, supercharged bouncy skin is level 2. With each level the amount of lightning basically doubles, keeping Kirin down at level 0 through elderseal makes the fight like 10x easier-though I should note that landing slingerburst’s delayed explosion takes a little skill to know when Kirin won’t just hop away. From my testing, elderseal weapons are still surprisingly effective, and I would recommend them for comfort even if Kirin took no dragon damage at all, but they run the slight risk of triggering when Kirin has no aura, and generally don’t build up as fast as the pods anyway to try and shut it down on demand.
So before Iceborne launched and I was farming the tempered monsters for lots of deco drop. The kirin was my go to one. I got remember able to drop the time down to 10-12 minutes on average and I did a personal best of 8-9 minutes when I was not streaming/recording at the time.
Another tip to beat the Kirin is to take away the open space it needs for it to run around since it pretty much uses hit and run tactics. Get it angry so it will follow you, if you are fighting it in the coral highland there is a pit you can jump into and the Kirin will follow. You will basically trick it into a cage match which will limit it´s room for movement and you can get a ton of damage in. However only do this if you are really tanky or really good at douging. After all you may have tricked the Kirin into the cage but don´t forget you are looked up with it and you too won´t have much rum to run either. Weapons recommended for this strategy are SnS, DB, Lance, Gunlance, Greatsword or CB. Hammer if you are good at not getting hit and are good at bonking it on the head Also pick up some rocks for your sling to wall slam it. This strategy works best on solo hunts.
Ah I love fighting Kirin in World Guard Up Lance can block basically everything it has, so for all the pain it put hunters through in the past, feels good to have IT be the powerless one for a change (At least in Low/High Rank, I'll be honest I unfortunately dont have much MHW MR experience just due to lack of time to play or other games taking my time)
My first time fighting Kirin was an absolute nightmare. As a lance user mobility is not a thing. But I slapped on ingot armour grabbed my water lance and went to town
An actually interestingly good build is a sticky bowgun build. While hitting the head is harder because of how small it is, if you can get him to get stunned once or knocked down (which is actually kind of easy), you can send a bunch of stickies to his face. Kirin gets knocked around a lot by stickies from my experience.
Use Hammer. I was prepared for a bad time with Tempered Kirin after hearing all the horror stories, then beat him in less than fifteen with a single cart. The Coral Highlands slopes make it easy to smack his head and get mounts.
Good thing the lightning doesn't strike the same place twice when angered. Head pokes with lance or gunlance is the best and safest course in my experience.

@@PapaGabe The question is, will we get through Iceborne before Wilds comes out... I believe.
2 MONSTER MATCHUPS IN A ROW!? AND IN SUCH SHORT TIME!? LETS GOO!
Christmas came early
HR 49 Kirin quest is like dumping a toaster into your bathtubs: it hertz
yes
Pre-Rajang Shatterhorn quest be like 'HEARD YOU TALKING MAD S@&^ FOR SOMEONE IN GREASED LIGHTNING RANGE' and worse still you're in the Reach fighting in thick snow. Thick snow that sometimes hides where the lightning's about to fall.
Holy shit Gabe is so close to finishing base world, thank you papa for the videos you provide
I forgot, is he going to do icebourne monsters?

Really grateful you coming back papa. Take your time in making these masterpiece
Amen to that
NO WAY ITS ACTUALY BACK
Tbh, this monster matchup Playlist is just funny.
Like it actully does give good info on monsters, but all in all it's funny, and I do hope you continue this all the way to big old black fatalis
No pressure
-Me chilling in fgo
-Sees youtube notification: curious
-Its a new Papa Gabe video: holy shit

I love seeing Papa Gabe using the hunting horn. Doot sticks unite!
The king once again graces us with his presence 2 times this month, truly a Christmas miracle. Btw love how you did the Hercules intro
As a man who dabbles in HH, hitting the impact wave twice at 0:28 was beautiful
God I missed these. Good to have you back Gabe, Hope you're feeling better!
We have been blessed with 2 videos in a row from the Daddy himself???
This is the best ending to 2023 I could have imagined.
It so good to have you back Gabe! I was waiting for this series to continue!
“Watch this show to know you’re foe from head to toe”
As a glaive main I just imagine Kirin and I glaring at each other as I vault over it since it’s so freaking small.
I remember the biggest struggle for me in this hunt wasn't actually the monster itself, it was that most of the arenas that we fight 'em in are just so... small, especially since they have so many AoE abilities.
That's why i use bow, it's far easier fighting kirin without worrying bouncing attack and at safe distances
Hell yeah you're back!
it's so good to have papa home, even if he forgot the milk. hope you're enjoying your return!
Glad to see some of monster matchup is back, makes me hopeful for the future.
I'm so glad you're back to these I just saw the trailer for a while and this is getting me ready
Aw man, I forgot just how much I love your videos! Good to have you back
Hi Gabe, have you seen the trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds?? Seens pretty fun, can't wait until release
Bro I know you where gone for a bit BUT TWO VIDEOS IN 5 DAYS dang your the goat
Hell yeah Monster Matchup LET'S GOOOOOOOO
FROTHING AT THE MOUTH SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP THANK YOU PAPA GABE!

God damn he's back not even after half a year's passed with yet another episode! Holy, this man's cookin!
As a greatsword main I do enjoy dancing against the Kirin since I'm always part sniping my marks and observing the beasts movements
Thank you! Now I can finally defeat Kirin!
YESSS! WE LOVE THE MONSTER MATCHUP!

WOOOH YEAH BABY WERE SO BACK
When he started with 'read,' my brain said this, "READ YOUR TOOLTIPS!"
So before Iceborne launched and I was farming the tempered monsters for lots of deco drop. The kirin was my go to one. I got remember able to drop the time down to 10-12 minutes on average and I did a personal best of 8-9 minutes when I was not streaming/recording at the time.
Guys I think someone captured and murdered Gabe, there’s no way he’d upload 2 Monster Matchups in a row
I say again welcome back. I missed this series heres hoping you stick with it till the end of Iceborne.
Tell me I'm dreaming Gabe uploading another video this quick ?
Gunner weapons absolutely trivialize this fight (assuming you don't get hit once of course).
It's actually a really fun fight with Bow.
Gunner supremacy
I defeated it on my first try with my blazing bow II, the fight was a lot easier than i thought it would be
i love how everyone is getting back into mhw, feelsgoodman
Those videos are really funny, earn yourself a sub!

My god he lives ,PAPA GABE LIVES
...Tempered Kirin, the bane of my hunting career. The PTSD that I developed over my many, many....MANY tries haunts me to this day.
Wow an MH Wilds announcement AND another Monster Matchup video?! truly one of the greatest moments of 2023
Gabe is here! MH Wilds is already working wonders
Wooooooooooooo!
Every time my friends and I fight this monster we play Thunderstruck, to the point the song makes us tense up outside of game.
Ah I love fighting Kirin in World
Guard Up Lance can block basically everything it has, so for all the pain it put hunters through in the past, feels good to have IT be the powerless one for a change
(At least in Low/High Rank, I'll be honest I unfortunately dont have much MHW MR experience just due to lack of time to play or other games taking my time)
Literally fist pumped when I saw this was already out let’s gooo
I wonder if Gabe will cover the crossover monsters like Behemoth and Leshen
I'M SO EXCITED THAT I GET EVEN MORE AAAAA
Oh man, Iceborne is going to be a treat to see. Can't wait for Gabe to cover things like Raging Brachy
Monster Match-up LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
This series is officially alive again
RHAAAAAAAH THE GOAT IS BACK
thank you.
WE MISSED YOU PAPA GABE ❤❤❤ And tbh I was expecting another one not this soon bruh
Yessirrrrrrr, he's back with another 🤌
Biggest comeback of the year
it's about positioning yourself in a way that you can hit it when it's throwing around all its fancy lightning so those don't hit you
My first time fighting Kirin was an absolute nightmare. As a lance user mobility is not a thing. But I slapped on ingot armour grabbed my water lance and went to town
Bro has returned
He's alive! HE LIVES.

I Do Hope Later For Icebrone where Fatalis is the Villan Post Devjiho Matchup ep
Return of the King!
HE RETURNED!!!
2 monster matchups in a row plus mh6 announced
feels good man
Kirin: *exists*
Rajang: its free real estate
Use Hammer. I was prepared for a bad time with Tempered Kirin after hearing all the horror stories, then beat him in less than fifteen with a single cart. The Coral Highlands slopes make it easy to smack his head and get mounts.
This horse dump is the only monster that made me switch up my weapon and tactics. Fun time, oh fun times. 😂
Bouncing attacks? *Laughs in charged shelling
So soon?!
I like using glaive for him, lots of mobility to dodge the lightning and minds eye on every aerial attack so no bouncing off
I still love so much in a world full of eastern and western dragons, wyverns, and beasts
Theres just a horse with lightning powers
the goat with the back2back
PAPA GABE LIVES!
Yessir were back again
Good thing the lightning doesn't strike the same place twice when angered.
Head pokes with lance or gunlance is the best and safest course in my experience.
guys it is indeed Christmas because this is the best gift for us
Back to back? God we might finish this series by the time wilds 2 comes out
HE LIVES !
