After a lot of struggle, I finally cleared Plesioth using a Great Sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, I tried a tactic using a Light Bowgun with Spread Shots while dodging its breath attacks. But the attack frequency was too low, my attack power was too low, and it always ended in a time-out. Wouldn't a melee weapon be better for this? Specifically, a hit-and-run Great Sword. So I decided to craft one (as mentioned in my last post).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After trying once with it, the damage I occasionally took was way too huge, so I decided to craft G-Rank melee armor. My target skill was Attack Up (Large). Normal Yian Kut-Ku G-Rank armor gives +5 Attack. Depending on color preference, either the normal Kut-Ku or Blue Kut-Ku armor works the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you match the Torso, Arms, and Waist, you get +5 Attack \u00d7 3 = 15. Since there are no matching head and leg pieces, I'm using the Rathalos Helm and Rathalos Greaves I've been using up until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This brings my total to +25 Attack, activating Attack Up (Large). I considered things like Torso Up or other G-Rank armor combos, but decided to just give it a try with this for now. Though I am a bit worried about the -10 Defense penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get the materials, I hunted Blue Kut-Ku to absolute shreds using the Light Bowgun, Grenade Launcher (White), with Spread Shots. It took about 5 of them, I think. It was quite a hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You just want to breeze through key quests, but needing other equipment and having to hunt for materials beforehand\u2014that's Monster Hunter for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Attack power is 1080, defense is 121. Compared to the Light Bowgun's 300 attack, that's more than triple. Assuming the attack frequency is the same, that means it's over three times stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The appearance is blue-toned, looking almost like samurai armor. It's the Blue Kut-Ku set. What color is the pure Kut-Ku armor? Red, maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I've got a Great Sword\u2014or rather, a Long Sword\u2014slung on my back. It looks cool. Back in this era, Long Swords weren't a separate weapon class yet; they were classified under Great Swords and used the exact same controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for the strategy: although this is a bit far back, you sheath your weapon, position yourself diagonally in front of its head, and bait its water pump breath attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When it breathes, run forward toward its neck, position yourself to slash its extended neck (its biggest weak point) at a right angle, and BAM! A drawn slash. If you get too close to the front, you might end up hitting its face instead. There's a specific timing just before it breathes where you can tell it's locked in, so it's good to recognize that and start running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

BAM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just repeat this process. Without struggling too much, it eventually went down. I think it was around the 25-minute mark. As expected, it's way stronger than the Light Bowgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, for the annoying Iodrome, you can trap-lock it to death using the Vertical Slash -> Rising Slash combo in the narrow corridor near the stage entrance. It's harder than using Spread Shots with a Light Bowgun, but because it packs a punch, once you trap it, you can take it down quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up is probably Gravios. Time to go all out with Pierce Shots on the Light Bowgun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
