Just so you guys know, and without spoiling anything. Trading bottle cap for talisman is REALLY bad. You can easily find talisman in the wild, and they are as viable and good as the ones you get from the exchange.
@@tbaggins5349 I'm not saying that they are bad. But you can get a lot more by farming at Terga on Gold Mineral piles. It takes less times, for more charms, and you can use your bottle caps for Exploration tickets or Stimulants, since those are limited to the bottle cap vendor.
I mean cotton did make an entire video of the best farming spot for talismans in the game. i might have spent 8 hours there and now i have too many... and none of them are good enough so i have more farming to do T.T good spot to farm for armor and weapon spheres too, and loads of zenny from trade in and commodities
Another fun fact: If you have a Monstie that has an aura or glow when their monster counterpart would become enraged, like Tigrex's veins and eyes for example, they will also show on your monstie if they are given an attack boost.
About expeditions: Armor and Weapon spheres are counted as normal items. Item Finder (or whatever it's called) expeditions will therefore find more of them. Thorough takes longer, but will get a good spread of items
I was looking for the info provided as number 2. Thank u!! Super Saiyan monkey time. New tip: you can buy N and R tickets from the item vendor for cash. Save your bottle caps for the SR ones
About the "super modes" or enrage state, your monster will actually enter it if u simply buff them(strangely if it's by hunting horn it doesn't work) but cheer does, so while there's no non-elemental clad u can still get enraged bloodbath or nargacuga.
@@femthingevelyn it will trigger the "super mode" since it's a buff, as I said buffs in general(minus some hunting horn buffs like the kinship buff for some reason)trigger the super modes.
@@femthingevelyn actually no they are not, they don't boost non elemental damage, sharpen blades boosts crit and pump up is a dragon move, but it just buffs attack and lowers defense. The thunder and ice clad moves are just that element buff(so thunder clad buffs thunder attack). The super modes or the enraged state are trigger just when your monster is buffed(minus some of the hunting horn skills oddly). Let's say I have Astalos and use cheer he'll still get his "super mode" just like when he uses High Voltage. Another example Nargacuga if he uses sharpen blades, or if I the hunter cheer to buff him, he still gets his enraged red eyes(aka his super mode). Sorry if this sounds like an attack, not trying to attack at all just clearing things up is all.
Cheer actually doesn't work for Rajang, nor do any other buffs that don't expressly buff Thunder Damage. Not even it's own "Buffs all Element damage" buff that it comes with work.
I remember during a cutscene with Yoomlana, you see two Wyverian children singing songs. The kids look identical and wear white-and-red garbs, bringing to mind the Kamura maidens. Highly unlikely, but would make a pretty neat reference if that actually was Hinoa and Minoto as children.
Something I think I've found, similar to stacking limits, is stacking rider abilities. When I was hunting for parts and I decided to stack a talisman with partbreaker and an armour set with partbreaker, I'm fairly certain they boosted it until it looped back around, because they didn't seem to actually work.
@@ravenbane7781 true, though I still prefer this game on Switch than to PC. Having the ability to just plop down on my lovesac, grab a controller, and play on my TV is much more meaningful and enjoyable to me than having to set up my computer to play it and playing on the small screen there with a keyboard and mouse. I know you could make the argument that I could just HDMI my computer to my TV, or connect a controller to my PC. But I use my laptop for other things too, not just gaming. So when it comes to games I want to play on TV, Switch wins every time.
From what ive tested, the prayers of the prayer pot doesnt seem to be active when you have a charm going, even if your using different types. Also of note when in coop, both your charms are active but the same ones wont stack, so mix it up
VERY helpful video. Didn't know charm and prayer didn't stack. Been wasting my prayer this whole time. Also didn't know S and L etc genes didn't stack either. Thank you very much for the fantastic info.

Has anyone else found the duo kinship where you and your ally's flying wyvern go into the sky to launch a giant energy ball? I have been getting it with yian garuga and I believe either Azurelos or Pinkthian. Also that Aptonoth one is more beywheels than beyblades.
He actually is though his kinship can be charged incredibly fast and it’s a guaranteed knockdown which means free crits. I found this out from weissgaming
Been trying to change the element of many monsters before the update drops that removes coloring monsties via elements. Really want to see thunder nergi but his base non-element attack is too high to override
from what i can tell while using the prayer pot. if youre using a charm, than prays wont activate at all. you can see for yourself if you use any charm excluding the Lucky charm, and the Lucky Prayer at the same time. then get into any battle you can use the Quick Finish on and use the quick finish. and youll see you dont get the extra points ontop of your 1000 from the prayer.
Nergigante can gain his spiky form by using a all elemental buff like cheer for the rest of the fight I don’t know if it works with monsters buffs like pump up though
I only found out about the layered armor dude when doing the elder dragon quest line. It was when I passed him to turn in the 4* quest and saw his speech bubble.
Avoiding waking up monsters is really easy though..? As soon as they start waking up, just run behind them. They don't actually exist until they have finished their waking up animation. Just run behind them and then walk up to the exit when they turn another direction. They usually walk forward a few steps and then turn.
Some monster also can enter their super mode when using the attack up music in the hunting horn. As of now I have seen Nergigante (he get fully grown black spikes) and Mizutsune (his fins turns red)
For expeditions you can skip the time. Simply go into system and be OFFLINE. Then change time ahead by 20 min etc. Then you will see it is complete. Strange but it works
@@philman401 Some people might not know what Layered Armor are if new to Monster Hunter, and he gives very bad directlys. Like literally he says 'And if you go to the right', and yet, he is the only NPC in the area, and even with the Map open you have to notice there is a SECOND Smithy across the entire town, and slowly run your way all they way over to him, who is all by himself, before and actually click on him without assuming he's just another armor forging NPC to notice he does Layered armor. Doesn't help that, that town is the only town where they add an extra NPC with Extra effect only. The only other town that chances things is the Cat Shelter which removes the 2 venders, tho that makes sense in context of the story, but Lulucion or whatever is the only town to ADD an extra NPC, not tied to the story, and only 1 small throwaway flaver text from an NPC even hints to his existence. I rarely open the map in town, relying on the minimap, and took visiting the town 4 times, and searching every inch by hand before opening the map and checking and noticing there is a section slightly obscured to the south away from everything else I never needed to go visit and found him down there. And that's from listen to the NPC and actively searching the location for this brother that does Layered armor. Thought it was a throw away line for a few hours before finding them.
@@Jirodyne Again, that's entirely a you problem. He expressly tells you to go to the other smith, there is another smith, and who gets to a new town and doesn't take a look around? If you are so obsessed with rushing through the story that you literally don't even see what a town has to offer, ignore all dialoge AND the map before rushing past it to the next quest then that is 100% on you and noone else. Stop blaming developers for you playing the game blindfolded.
I grabbed Icy Armor off a Zamtrios and stuck it onto a Barioth. I didn't notice any change at first, but Bari's eyes turned from blue to red! Not the most amazing effect, but it's a pretty neat detail
About "super modes" i recently made a post on MHStories subreddit about all possible alterate visual states like charged / armored / heated / rage so that there's no need to guess until future updates.
@@bossnass9319 www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunterStories/comments/oq5gtx/ive_tested_every_potential_aesthetic_change_from/ Hopefully youtube doesn't butcher the link
Non elemental buffs like Merciless roar gives all nargacuga red eyes, as well as red veins for all tigrex. It also gives bloodbath diablos it’s rage steam effect and mizutsune’s weird dorsal fins. High voltage also gives an effect on Kirin’s mane, as well as Astalos’s wings and head. Fireclad coats Teostra in flames, as well as blazes glavenus’s tail. Iceclad gives Gammoth it’s snow coating on legs and trunk. These effects will most likely apply to the upcoming deviants and variations.
I learned you could use the nutriments on yourself in the demo. I found one of the hidden kinship attacks by accident last night. My Ratha and the npc's azure rathalos did a combined giant fireball attack.
On this super mode thing: I haven't done a whole lot of testing, but I can say that Nergigante will gain his black spikes and Bloodbath Diablos will gain its blood red veins exposing themselves through ANY BUFF. Immunizer, cheer, awakening, anything. Simply buffing them will trigger the transformation for the duration of the buff. It doesn't do anything, it simply just seems to be a visual representation that X monster has been buffed. I can only assume it is the same for other monsters, though I'm only building those two currently and haven't tried many of the others.
Hey thank it was very informative I didn’t know a lot of those things oh and tell Cotton that it was fun playing with him Honestly best partner I could’ve had in a SR den and tell him I say thank you for helping me get dread queen and I hope we can play againAll of you guys are awesome as well and you bring me the brightest day is watching you guys with all your contacts it’s awesome soon as I get the time I’m definitely going to be a patron and pay what I can so see you guys when I can
There's a lot of monsters that you can get to enter their super mode, a few examples off the top of my head are Bloodbath's superheated state, Nergi's spikes, Astalos being fully charged, and Narga and Tigrex looking visually enraged
I have been gorging myself on nutriments since the start. Until I settle on a direct team, the monsties are ephemeral, fleeting... And they all get cute names until they eventually become fodder for their replacements.
Zinorge is one that obviously has his super mode, Tobi-Kadachi is another, Zamtrios has his ice armor. Barroth and Jade Barroth have their mud and snow armor. It’s all the same concept I suppose. Edit: Also for the creatures that have these abilities, remember to channel level them up to increase how long the effect lasts! For example Zinorge’s lightning charge mode lasts 3 turns but the ability last 4 turns when leveled up once and 5 turns when leveled up twice. Genes can only be leveled twice to a two star rank but it’s a good idea to do this on the monsters that you really love or use a lot.
Major tip for anyone using non elemental monsties like bloodbath and Nergi. Using Seregios’ merciless roar (or Bellow Gene L) and putting it on them gives all your allies a moderate buff to ALL elemental attack for 3 turns (5 turns when maxed) and it puts any non elemental monster into its super mode. This applies to all Tigrex, all Nargacuga, bloodbath, Nergi, and I believe Seregios. There may be some more but those I know for sure. Have fun :) (Remember, this is the best elemental attack boost gene that boosts all attack and the best for getting non elemental monstie super modes)
Thunder clad (Thanks thunder lord for ultra voltage) on astalos makes him go green mode, fire clad (thanks pink rathian for valiant flare) on glavenus makes throat glow and sword on fire
While putting the boost gene of deviljho on a bloodbath diablos you can make the bloodbath be in historique very angry and steamy state, which is, like the others, super satisfying-
I know that after you use his kinship attack Anjanath's nose cartilage is up and his flame sack in his throat glows. Also after buffing Nargacuga, don't know if it has to be crit buffs, his eyes start glowing.
I've occasionally had a tigrex get all veiny and redder, kinda like the super mode you explained No idea what causes it, just happens in longer fights I find
it happens when it gets a damage boost to every monster that can rage.Wild tigrex gets veins and red eyes when enraged,and the monstie tigrex gets veins and red eyes when u boost him.
I believe you get an attack/defense boost from whatever weapon/armor you're wearing if it matches the species of your active monstie in battle. Idk if that's completely true. I just read that online somewhere. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. 😅
Didn’t know about the I-frames on pausing but I just found out you get the same effect by bringing up the Navirou stickers, upside of this is you can see for yourself when you can move again
Nergigante can enter his full spike mode simply by applying a damage increasing skill. You can ebem simply achieve this by using cheer but i also opted to give mine the skills: Sharpen Blades (Nargacuga) and Onslaught Roar (Monoblos) so he has a way to not only go e himself a boost but also my Rider and potential Hunting Buddies.
nergigante ever so slightly grows his spikes when he uses sharpen blades, or when you are using charge ahead on hunting horn it makes every monstie activate their powered up mode. also why can nergigante fly during joint kinship but nowhere else
I genuinely didn’t know that the Nutriments are actually this important thank god I checked. And also from now I should choose Treasure hunter instead of the other options got my Monstie expeditions?
Astalos has a great Super mode You can give Teostra his with the Valiant Flame from pink and dreadqueen rathian. Stygian zinogre gets his with his dragon version of the same skill, and I believe you can give this to Pickles. I'd love to see a video of all super forms
If I might make a suggestion if you could make a video on how to find the hard to find high rank monsters like the mega barrel feline and the herbivores that would be real helpful to getting a complete monsterpidea
Prayer Pot now is a legit thing to use in Stories 2 compared to Stories 1. The fact it gets stronger with more use and of course there also best charm for grinding eggs. Allowing you to find more platinum glow eggs and thus rare genes for best builds
I found out the first trick by my self, I was scared of an elder dragon and pressed x randomly, so first I was thinking that this was a bug, but it wasn´t really helpful
You can use the Sticker Menu by pressing - instead of opening the menu. That way you can still see the Monster.
One Thing I missed till a little in is that you can fast travel from anywhere in the game just pull up your map and pick one of the fast travel locations. I must of misread the original message on it as I figured you could only fast travel from the catavan points
Bloodbath Diablos with Pump Up from Deviljho allows him to glow red in some area of its body
So dose using cheer.
Use pump up and hellish heavyweight and u got big damage numbers
Also happens if he has an attack buff from a hunting horn
You can also do this with grimclaw
every elder dragon and deviant except dreadqueen have a super mode I think

There's a lot of monsters that you can get to enter their super mode, a few examples off the top of my head are Bloodbath's superheated state, Nergi's spikes, Astalos being fully charged, and Narga and Tigrex looking visually enraged

Anything on Brachy? I tried it With Glavenus's clad gene, but nothing happened. Maybe it will work with pink rath?
@@dinodan1214 yeah, I havent found a way to get brachy to go into his rage state yet
For the first one you can also use the sticker menu.
For the second one you just need to buff their elemental attack (HH Awakening is my pick there)
I noticed tigrex goes into an enraged mode when you give it hunting horn buffs.
Also, if you use the move Cheer or any Attack Up skill, your Nergigante will grow the black spikes he's famous for.
While putting the boost gene of deviljho on a bloodbath diablos you can make the bloodbath be in historique very angry and steamy state, which is, like the others, super satisfying-
I know that after you use his kinship attack Anjanath's nose cartilage is up and his flame sack in his throat glows. Also after buffing Nargacuga, don't know if it has to be crit buffs, his eyes start glowing.
The effects at the prayer pot does stack now to playery who want eggs with good genes or nuke dmg
I haven't finished the story yet and I had a few nutrients, thanks!
I had no idea you could buff yourself with those nutrients
I had no clue what Nutriments did in the first place. I didn't even read them!
Velkhana with Zamtios' Ice Armor will have its ice armor :)
If haven’t watched someone killed Fatalis with a aptonoth in mhstories the first one. It’s pretty damn interesting to watch
I've occasionally had a tigrex get all veiny and redder, kinda like the super mode you explained
No idea what causes it, just happens in longer fights I find
it happens when it gets a damage boost to every monster that can rage.Wild tigrex gets veins and red eyes when enraged,and the monstie tigrex gets veins and red eyes when u boost him.
I tried using the skills cheer and I was shocked to see my tigrex become super mode 🤣
I believe you get an attack/defense boost from whatever weapon/armor you're wearing if it matches the species of your active monstie in battle. Idk if that's completely true. I just read that online somewhere. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. 😅
something i've overlooked till just yesterday is being able to make preset teams while editing monster party
Didn’t know about the I-frames on pausing but I just found out you get the same effect by bringing up the Navirou stickers, upside of this is you can see for yourself when you can move again
Apparently the sticker menu (-) works for the monster dodging too and you can see the monster yourself.
Nergigante can enter his full spike mode simply by applying a damage increasing skill.
You can ebem simply achieve this by using cheer but i also opted to give mine the skills: Sharpen Blades (Nargacuga) and Onslaught Roar (Monoblos) so he has a way to not only go e himself a boost but also my Rider and potential Hunting Buddies.
#1 all kinship attacks are canon
And I knew about the nergi duo kinship attack
So did I.
First thing also works with a bot, because you can open map, and see where the monster is
nergigante ever so slightly grows his spikes when he uses sharpen blades, or when you are using charge ahead on hunting horn it makes every monstie activate their powered up mode. also why can nergigante fly during joint kinship but nowhere else
Bloodbath can go into his glow mode just by you cheering, it’s amazing
You can get Nergigante in his super mode as well if you use the Ability Cheer. His spikes will grow bigger and he will make way more damage😍
Dude that "same kind genes don't stack" tip really killed a lot of ideas/builds I had in mind, wtf.. thanks though!
Same. Really disappointing, but good to know now rather than later!
You can open the map or sticker menu, that way you can see the monster, thats what I do when I go solo in co-op quests.
Sharpen blades makes Nargacuga's tail open and eyes glow red. Works on all its versions.
Can someone make a list of all monster effected by clad genes?
Rajang, Velkana, Zamtrios, Barroth/Jade Barroth. These are the ones I can remember.
I’m just wrapping up my weapon building and deco creation in Rise then eagerly jumping into Stories 2
For tip 1, you can actually just pull up the stickers menu so you will see where the monster is yourself
I’ve had the duo attack with double Astalos
Oml I've been calling nutriments nutrients this whole time, I had no idea 😑
I managed to pull off one of the secret double kinships with a Pink Rathian it was some flying one where they made an orb and shot it
Nergigante with pump up makes the spikes grow
I genuinely didn’t know that the Nutriments are actually this important thank god I checked. And also from now I should choose Treasure hunter instead of the other options got my Monstie expeditions?
Astalos has a great Super mode
You can give Teostra his with the Valiant Flame from pink and dreadqueen rathian.
Stygian zinogre gets his with his dragon version of the same skill, and I believe you can give this to Pickles.
I'd love to see a video of all super forms
Who the hell is pickles?
I didn't kno what those Nutrients were I guess I gotta use em then
Hollow, I have forgotten to buff myself with Nutriments... Jeez.
If I might make a suggestion if you could make a video on how to find the hard to find high rank monsters like the mega barrel feline and the herbivores that would be real helpful to getting a complete monsterpidea
Could you please do an Oltura tips video?
Yo I found a secret kinship between the razewing and an azure liolaeus, even posted it to twitter
Prayer Pot now is a legit thing to use in Stories 2 compared to Stories 1. The fact it gets stronger with more use and of course there also best charm for grinding eggs. Allowing you to find more platinum glow eggs and thus rare genes for best builds
Azure Rathalos and Astalos have a duo kinship attack
There needs to be a charm to spawn more super rare dens, I've literally only found one
You’re much better off using expeditions anyway.
Oh by the way: for those of you like me who didn’t know, you can use nutrients on yourself too
Thank you Hollow. Many and useful tips
Try doing kinship skill with velkana and rathalos
It's awesome
These were all interesting and useful. Thank you.
I found out the first trick by my self, I was scared of an elder dragon and pressed x randomly, so first I was thinking that this was a bug, but it wasn´t really helpful
"I don't know who would kick Ena front heir party"
Me who just kicked Ena minutes before opening the video: yeah who would do such a thing....
