"The" Monster Hunter Freedom Unite discussion thread

Small update, I beated Shen Gaoren using the full Azure Rathalos armor (and I take it back, it's +24 att total with the armor and jewels, not near 30, I thought it was.. huh.)! I also used the Blango Decimator, which gives Ice element. It has 200 attack more than my fire-elemental sword, so I used this instead. I slammed att 4 of his legs, shut him down, and started tapping triangle like crazy til my bar got full, then tapped "R" like mad at his face once he fell down, rinse and repeat. Once the clock hits 0:00, he retreated. Surprisingly, I thought it was going to be a failure, because the quest info says that "Mission Failure" if the clock hits 0, the fortress goess down to 0%, or I die 3 times or whatever. Surprisingly, I beated the fcker! ^_^ Now HR4!

PS: Also, I noticed why my DEF was 307 last time with the Azure Rathalos Armor, it was because I was holding onto an Armorcharm, I forgot to put it back into my inven. Oops. No wonder my def went down. With the Powercharm + Armor charm, my stats are:

Attack: 796
Defense: 307
