Deviljho large crown impossible to get in Iceborne, so no platinum trophy for me

[MelvinSmiley]

Honestly, Capcom is a POS for requiring us to acquire base game DLC monster crowns for Iceborne platinum trophy. I will never get platinum with my 3600 hours invested in this game for that reason.

How am I supposed to get a large Deviljho crown in Iceborne? HR events and optional quests don't drop crowns except for the Greatest Jagras event, which gives you the smallest Deviljho crown. So you need HR investigations with lots of rewards.
I don't even have any HR investigations at all. You need 2 gold and 1 silver reward investigations at least to even have a 3% chance of getting a crown. This is beyond retarded.

Now I am supposed to kill hundreds of HR monsters and wait until I get a good Deviljho investigation with a very low chance of large crown? And you get only 3 of them with good rewards. ♥♥♥ that. And with a PS4 you can easily get both crowns from this Horizon Zero dawn event. Capcom can go and ♥♥♥ themselves, really.

Yeah, it's very stupid and feels like a huge oversight by Capcom.

[Shang Tsung]

ohhh no its one of this threads again ,

[MelvinSmiley]

Yeah, why isn't every thread sunshine and happiness, people should just learn to love Capcoms b-llshit and ask for more, right?

[Vaiseria]

i know it counts as a cheat but if thats the only crown you need and you cant find a good way to get it there's always mods... if you dont wanna use one good luck

[MelvinSmiley]

Yeah, I know about mods, but I haven't been using mods to get anything in MHW and Iceborne until now so it would feel like a cop out. I think I will just stop playing this game altogether, capcom can go to hell seriosly.

k

so.

your in master rank gear right?

farming a HIGH RANK monster for a crown, should be extraordinarily easy. do the high rank crown event quest or investigations for high rank that contain a deviljho. if it doesnt look crown size either return from quest or abandon pending on if you did anything worth doing or simply muscle through it and beat them up.

i dunno what the complaint is about here, capcom literally made farming base game content easier in terms of effort put forth.

As I mentioned, you can't get crowns from HR events and optional quests. You need HR investigations. You can't farm deviljho hr investigations, you just get random hr monsters and deviljho might be among them. And even if you get Deviljho investigations it needs to be at least 2 gold and 1 silver, 3 or 4 gold is better.

Very good HR investigations of that kind are extremely rare. So there's already a low chance of you even getting the right investigation for a crown. And then even those only have a chance of 6% for a crown as far as I know.

Add to that that you get just 3 of those very rare 3 or 2 gold rewards investigations. So it probably means spending countless hours hunting HR Deviljho just to get a crown for a HR Monster that you easily get from the Horizon zero dawn event on PS4. Feels like bs to me.

Umm, no you most certainly can get Deviljho HR investigations. When you max out research on a monster it vastly increases the likelihood you will get investigations involving the monster you're researching/fighting/capturing.

consoles have their methods and pc has its own
it is up to you if you want to put afford into it or simply go the easy way.

you can chose between sam and different mods which increase crownchance or go the hard way and kill the dino until you got what you wanted

around 100 kills if you are unlucky

btw i used something like 1 silver 2 bronze and also got my crown
the ratio is just worse but better dont talk about ratio and simply kill the beast till you got what you want or simply cheat.

There also a tiny chance that we may see the hzd collab in the future while street fighter is coming at 1. oct

[MelvinSmiley]

Thanks for your suggestions, I ended up using the mod which felt cheap but better than giving up on this game altogether. I think Capcom should fix this crown achievement or give us an opportunity to get this crown without all the hassle nevertheless.

Picking up monster tracks does grant higher ranks of research, and higher ranks of research make investigations more likely from picking up monster tracks.

That said, even with maxed research for a monster, it still possible to not get any investigations at all, and/or not any of the monster whose track's you're picking up, although this is more likely to occur with elder dragons (possibly others). I managed to get one investigation for kushala from my first or second HR fight with it (both maxed wind resist skill and kush set bonus not doing much, rather stupid/bullshitty), and after about 7 more kush hunts of picking up about 4-5 tracks per hunt, I still haven't gotten a second investigation for it.

(fyi, I only hunt solo with tailraiders/palico, so might be different, although it shouldn't be)

regular pickle giant crown is indeed a huge hassle for pc players or rather anyone not on ps4. they should have made an eventquest with him which 100% this crown for other plattforms aswell.

on console you can just do horizon zero dawn eventquests and you get the crown 100%. a similar event should have been made for pc. but they decided not to sadly.

the reason why pickle is so painful is that there is no tempered investigations for it to begin with. thus its similar to the scarred situation in mr except they added an eventquest to address that already.

this pushes the rng to get high gold reward ingestigations for pickle off the charts imo. this wasnt a problem before iceborne simply as his crown was not needed to get the basegame achievment.

now in iceborne its required all of a sudden.

i mean there is still a small chance towards years end that pc might get horizon eventquests aswell. which is why i personally wont bother hunting the missing crowns for my profile for now. as they might add events which make them way easier to grab than currently.

Never heard of rewards making a difference.
Factors that make an investigation easier also increase the odds of large crown size... and factors that make an investigation harder increase the odds of small crown size.

So when I was crown-hunting, I aimed for 4-player, 50-minute, 5-cart, single-monster hunts in order to try and increase the crown size... and it worked out well enough.

It's supposed to be both, higher rewards and more limiting factors (# of players, # faints, time) are supposed to increase the chances of golden crowns.
