Haha thats cool guys...Im on Monster Hunter right now. People in here are teh crazeh! We all went to the jungle and smacked down the Gyncerops or whatever that things name is. He fakes death and stuff all the time so it was pretty tough. About the only thing I got was rubbery hides but you can make Gyncerops armor with it.

What would you say is the best way to beat that guy? We're all gonna have to initiate this Urgent Quest down the road to hit Hunter's Rank 5, so I figure talking some strategy on taking the sucker down would be beneficial.
We tried him once with a team of Dive (gunner), riel (sword and shield), SaitoH (2 handed sword), and me (lance) but only got him down to what I think is about half health, since he flew away to his first retreat zone. I think we almost had him but that darn feign death move he does takes off a TON of health. On a positive note, it took a few good fights against Kut-Ku to really get a feel for how to handle him, so perhaps after a few showdowns with the Gycerpos (sp?) we won't have as much trouble.
I'd say our best bet is to stock up on some flash bombs (if only to knock out the pesky other creatures that get in the way), and a few pitfall traps. I'd like to nail his ass with some large barrel bombs but I always end up detonating them too close to someone and killing them. beigebiggrin.gif
Anyhow, I'm not sure when I'll be online again next since I got a pretty random schedule coming up, but I'd definately like to take on this bird again ASAP.

EDIT: Anyone done that damn Cephadrome quest offline? I've attempted it like 5 times now and I kept failing due to deaths. My main problem is (well one I only have been using the default supplies >_>;; Guess I kinda answered my own question) that I can barely ever get the sucker out of the ground, and when he finally does come up, I get nailed with his cheap shoulder charge... even when I'm BETWEEN his damn legs. O_o It's driving me nuts cause I really want to see what the reward is like from the quest and I'm sick of going down because of the heat. beigebigrazz.gif

I was thinking of doing something similar to that. I was just worried about how to detonate the large bombs since it seemed they won't just go off if the wyvern falls into the trap. However, with the small bombs, that sounds perfect. Alternatively, though, we could have our gunner (you beigebigrazz.gif) set up at a nice camping spot and keep the first set of barrels in his scope and nail the sucker when the wyvern is trapped. Then, immediately, us melee can run in with large barrels, set up one each, drop a small bomb, and run like hell. Rinse, and repeat and I smell victory.

I suggest people start gathering free barrels from the little melynx (cat people) areas on the various maps. Gunpowder can be made by combining Nitroshrooms(which you can get in the Forest Area 3, close to area 10) and Fire Herbs (which I'm still not sure how to get consistently). Also collect Spiderwebs and combine them with Ivy to produce Nets to combine with trap tools for pitfalls. Sorry if you know all this stuff already. I just wanted to post a cost effective way of saving up for future wyvern fights. So next time you go mining, don't forget to spend a little time gathering a few other materials. ;)

Also, I'm going to "attempt" to do a little translation of the pensil MH site that deals with trading to the old man in each area (for example, Area 7 of the Forest and Hills map). Apparently you can switch out rare materials for specific other rare materials which could make life alot easier for those seeking certain parts to craft with. Now if this is in the Bradygames Guidebook already, I'm going to have to pick the sucker up this week. beigebigrazz.gif

EDIT: FIRE HERBS not Sap Plants. ^^;
