Hit A Wall

[dxmc]

Can't beat Anjanath. Tried around 50 times with four different weapons, two upgraded longswords, Bone Shotel 3 and First Dance, the Hunter's Rifle and the Blooming Heavy Bowgun. No way, not a chance.

Can't upgrade anything. Did all kinds of investigations, killed numerous types of moonsters numerous times, still haven't been able to upgrade in at least twenty hours or so. There's always one or two things I don't have but the game doesn't tell you what you need so that's hopeless. I wasted all kind of time killing all sorts of monsters and no upgrades.

So I don't have any weapons that will defeat Anjanath. I focused on three weapons, longsword, light bowgun and heavy bowgun. They're alll useless against Anjanath. Not going to upgrade and practice with 14 different weapons to see what works and Googled it but couldn't find much of anything.

First time playing a Monster Hunter game and I just really don't get it. I've spent over a thousand hours playing all three Dark Souls, as well as hundreds of hours of Nioh. I really didn't think this would be that bad but it just seems to be impossible to get into this. I had no real trouble up to this point, it's just a massive difficulty spike that seems purely intended to discourage most players, at least anyone who hasn't played pevious Monster Hunter games.

Anyone have any tips on how to upgrade without randomly running around two different levels for hours on end ? And what weapon actually works on Anjanath ? Thanks for any useful tips and no, I don't need to "git gud". I'm just new to this game and finding it hopelessly complicated.

SOS?

Trying to do it SP, not really interested in the MP side of it.

Try getting better armor, and weapons against them. Here is a page that has alot of info on that monster: https://monsterhunterworld.wiki.fextralife.com/Anjanath

It's not complicated, you're overcomplicating it, sad but true.

The "new" bit, is something a lot of players of old mhw games have trouble with too..not to mention others of similar games.

Personal opinion - has to do with muscle memory, what you're used to, and you're used to/want different combos..and want it to go a diff way that you're used to.
Heavy and light bowguns aren't useless..just slow, longsword takes practice/finesse. GS is easy. And bowguns are dependant on ammo too...so..there are other ways you can win.

And side note - i made a post speciiiiifically about helping with stuff like this - session id ..is something like 3pseatmpDtM or something (the other post should be on the front) come and i'll help, even use a longsword, weapons.....or i can go with a HH and buff you so you can get some practice.

anyway, bowguns shine more in high rank, LR they're...tough.

Forgot to add - anjanath is a light version of one of the main monsters (well main now) pickle aka deviljho, so people who've played before know how to kill it...but it's a trex.

It, and a lot of monsters can avoid some major hits by simply, doing the bob barker method, aka neuter/going between the legs and attacking from there. They can't breath fire between their legs.

you should help him it's low rank

in my opinion, when you doing story anja and diablos is the skill check,
i still remember almost giving up on this game fighting diablos. MHW also my 1st mh game.
best weapon matchup again anja imho is water bow and LBG normal rapid or spread,
be patient and keep shooting his butt and wing when it open up
when his wing open up, that when his most damaging move unlocked, dont be greedy

or you can just ignore what i sand and fire sos,
prolly some bored high hr hunter will join and help you

Which weapon do you like to use most? use that. And then get actual good armor, You mention Dark Souls which is a series where you can werar nothing and then dance around god kings as if they weren't there. Monster Hunter is not one of those games, if he's doing too much damage, make him do less.

"Not going to upgrade and practice with 14 different weapons to see what works"

Sorry breh, that's how this goes.

[L3pr4ch4un]

@omegarize i would..but gotta get the mission or to come to my id...or just SoS it (HH that i'd use is for buffs to make it easier so you can practice...course i can just steamroll it myself too...)

you should message him or vice versa lol

Longsword is good, try to learn timings of attacks and you can foresight slash everything. Do the optionals that unlock farm slots and farmables so you can get unlimited honey and adamant/might seed. If you have fought jyuratodus already try to make the jyura longsword.

You will always be able to increase attack and defense every mission and can carry 10 mega potions every hunt from farming honey.

Craft the armor with the highest fire resistance and defense. Try to upgrade armor to increase defense. Head to the resource center and register easy bounties such as hunt large monster and investigations you have that give you good money.

Anja doesn't do anything special. Try to identify what you are having difficulty dealing with. If his firebreath is 1-shotting you then build for fire resist and get elemental res meals. His head bulldoze is pretty lethal so always look out for how he telegraphs it. The longsword can foresight all of his attacks but I would suggest just getting out of the way or superman diving the bulldoze.

The bone shotel should work but you could try the Jyuratodus LS since Anja hates water damage.

Yeah, that's why I don't usually do MP, I kind of like to figure it out for myself and beat the thing one on one.

I mean it's a pretty straight forward game same as all encounters, you hit the creature till it dies.
Other than that, eat food for health before going on quests.
Upgrade your armor and learn to position yourself if you're dying a lot.
Learn how your prefered weapon works and the best ways to use it.
Wouldnt recommend using bowguns for players just starting out, as it has low damage.
Also dont do a dark souls approach of stab 1x run away, as itll just drag the quest on for many minutes.

Give lance a go. You can up poke him in the face/stomach repeatedly then block when he throws crap your way.
