Stupid bagel. That'll be all.

One pear and mango should do the trick to make you feel better. I'll airdrop it later

I only just got to high rank missions, so having him interrupt my fight against a Radobaan immediately, proceed to run away for 15 minutes, then leave the zone (only after the Radobaan also left) so I got no loot from either monster and lost tons of materials - none of that was ideal. I'll just bring more dung from now on and make sure to have the right missions loaded, but I'm still pretty scarce on high rank missions starting out.

I love bazelgeuse because deviljho exists
everytime I get bazelgeuse harassing me I think "thank god it's not deviljgo"
neither is particularly difficult but I find deviljho so miserable to deal with comparatively I genuinely want to abandon the hunt when they invade

Well I have more to look forward then I suppose!

Baz will ease off a bit the later you get into high rank, but he's always going to be a problem.

If you're not comfortable fighting two monsters at once, bring dung bombs to move either your target or Baz to a new location. They can, and will come back after a time, but it'll buy some time apart.

Also, like a lot of items, monsters will grow a little more resistant to poop flinging, so alternate which monster you stink bomb to maintain effectiveness for longer.

By the way, I was NOT ready to laugh like I did when I clicked that... Bravo.

Will he leave if you hide? Such as with a mantle? Or will he just continue to turf war?

Regardless I think I'll be fine, I just thought it was obnoxious at first. I'm really loving the game though and I won't shy away from a challenge, just had a bad first encounter.

oh the B52 bomber doing his best to annoy everyone.

Most often? No... Actually hiding will bring the fighting between the monsters to a screeching halt as both enter a "Huh? Where'd he go?" Phase. Sometimes they'll continue to fight tho', and yes, sometimes one, or both will leave if they've taken enough damage or reset their timer *cough* I mean ... Decided to go elsewhere.

If you've got two monsters fighting each other and want to keep 'em going, I've had the best results by crouching but not specifically obscuring myself. Either that, or wading in and trying to keep one monster in the middle specifically.

You don't like free damage and knockdowns on your hunts?
Bagel is love, bagel is life.
He's always there for you

It's a lot easier to deal with an insect glaive, bombs can't hurt you 100ft above surface level.

[KuroSenshi]

WELCOME INTO HIGH RANK

[legacy_1]

the worse/fun hunts are the ones you have to deal with both bazel and deviljho, and they're not even the main target lol

Lance laughs at both

I'm sure he is, though I'm too much of a hammer fan and won't be changing weapons until I'm much more experienced with the game lol.

I picked the hammer when I first was playing a year or two ago (got like 20 hours in, I'm like 40 hours in now after starting back up 2-3 weeks ago), after trying out every single weapon in testing and finding it the most fun to use for me. It's simple, but the impact of knocking giant monsters on their butts constantly is just so satisfying, and finding openings to get those heavy attacks in is very rewarding.
