After playing MH3 on Wii, I'm sooo tempted to play MHFU on PSP

Location? I can bring my laptop and 3g router and set up a mini wifi station LOL

Haha I'm a PSP noob

MV will probably be more accessible... I'm just worried about parking since i drive.

Just asking in terms of mechanics... I'm a MH3 player using Hammer.

I started playing MHFU 3 days ago, using Hammer as well.
Currently at 2* farming Kut Kut and Congalala... I notice I kill them too fast before I actually break their parts.

Kut Kut ears aren't a problem - sonic bomb and he does drop them as a shiny.
But for Congolala, I can stun him but I kill him before breaking his horn for the pelt drop.

Any advise?

Thanks Gaia, well in MH3 its a little different... even with a overpowered weapon, I can break the parts before they die
e.g. Jaggi & Peco

I'll try again with a weaker hammer and see. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies Gonna train new weapons.

Looks like the weapon mechanics differ from MH3.

I'm usually at MV on Sat from 10am till 12 noon LOL

Nah I prefer it early cuz I'm awake as early as 7am on Sat morning.

I'm at MV cuz I take my mom shopping I just take her there and sit at starbucks LOL

I'm currently at 3* village elder quests and finished Offline Training Hall 1*.

Taking my time by farming/grinding/learning each and every weapon!

Haha the gathering discussion got overshadowed?

Regardless, I am at MV from 10am-12noon. If any longer than I need to arrange.

Usually I'm at Starbucks

Hmmm, Daimyo Hermitaur.

He has some attacks you need to look out for as he's the most mobile monster - can move in all 4 directions without turning LOL.
His attacks has a certain range before he unleashes it. Use that to counter - except his back attack. That one goes all the way.

Aim for his legs, keep hitting it and he will stumble allowing you to attack him freely.

When he does his "Guard" move, you can punish him with a Sonic Bomb.
I've beaten him with Hammer, Bow and LBG.


I have done up to Village Elder 3* quests - farming my new armor before taking on my Urgent.
I have done Offline Guild Hall 1* quests.

I dont notice any difference in terms of monster's HP except you get more items to use at your disposal.

I agree patience is a must. I learn the hard way trying to break monster parts... I need to precisely aim what I'm breaking for otherwise the monster will die too fast.

Only monster that tests my patience is Pesioth so far

Is this correct? o.O the MHFU I downloaded from US PSN has these options before starting the game.

Cool, cool

You can also throw a sonic bomb or barrel bombs to force him to drop his shiny. Sometimes he drops a ear.

I guess its easier for me to see the break because my PSP is connected to a LCD TV.

Kut-Ku ears are like a opened paper fan (ie, Shell logo as example), when its broken it looks like a torn paper fan.

Err, I have a PSP Go... I bought a Component cable to connect my PSP to the LVD TV.

This is the product i bought from Play-Asia:

I think there's a similar product if you're using PSP1000/2000/3000
