It’s kind of strange how the newest part of Monster Hunter is way different from the previous games. Not just the game mechanics, but also the multiplayer-experience. It’s different from the PSP-parts where you would physically sit together with your hunter-companions, hunt huge monsters and shout stuff like “go for the tail, GO FOR THE FRICKIN’ TAIL!!”. You would compare your cool armors and weapons and discuss hunting-strategies together before facing a bloodthirsty beast. Now you just go online, complete some quests, craft better armor and weapons and that’s about it. I was really looking forward to being able to online again (like in the very first Monster Hunter game), but i have to admit it has its downsides too.

Anyway. Lately I’ve been playing offline a lot to get enough money and some decent armor and weapon to face Jhen Mohran in the Town Quest. The gear I got while playing online is pretty okay, so I didn’t face too many problems so far, even though I have to admit that Rathalos was quite a pain in the ass as I forgot to take flash bombs with me. Uragaan on the other hand was actually quite easy to take down. Anyway, I have now completed all the major key quests and am allowed to face Ceadeus in the Underwarter Ruins. Any advice for weapons or armor that is suited for the job?
