I just defeated the electric lizard so probably the 6 monster or so and it felt repetitive. But now i know it's the defender armor. Can't wait to jump in and play how it's meant to be played

Bless you, lol. I'm starting this game fresh, with no previous experience and I was overwhelmed with the initial hour or so of the game. Too much information, menus, training. The system itself is so complicated... I hope this helps me and more of us!

I want to make an important note about defender armor: Iceborne level monsters are a lot more difficult than base game monsters. The base game monsters are supposed to prepare you to face very difficult fights, but the defender armor trivializes this training. If you use defender gear you are only making the difficulty curve of late game even steeper.

Several years back I got MHW cause my friend kept recommending it to me and I didn’t know any better so I played through the whole base game with Defender armor & weapons and he was doing co-op with me on a lot of missions. I had a fun time with it but naturally once I hit the expansion content it was a brick wall because there were so many mechanics I didn’t actually understand at all because I hadn’t needed to and ended up dropping the game. Now I’m coming back to the game years later, making a brand new save file and going through slowly and properly at my own pace to really try and learn and get good at the game to play with him.

Thank you so much, I'm getting back into the game after not playing for a long time and this helped me remember a bunch, subscribed!

I am brand new to MHW and I played without defender armor for a couple of weeks. The game was very challenging but shooting in the background with my heavy bow gun made it not too hard. I started firing SOS flares on every quest I started and found the game super easy since I could just fire in the back ground while other people tanked the monster. I decided now that yes I will use defender armor and a melee weapon now just so I dont have to bother crafting or buying and using so many healing potions anymore. I will not craft defender weapon though just so there is at least some challenge.

I'm not new to MH from MH PS1 to MH PSP to Mh3rd, 4U and MHXX then stopped for 6 years. Now returning in Iceborne and Rise/Sunbreak, this is probably the best begginner guide to reorient myself again in the new world of MH world.

It's hard to believe that MHW will be six years old Friday.

yeahh its crazy, time has flown by and yet its still popping! :D not surprised for a Monster Hunter game tho!

I'm a returning player who didn't get far in the game. Honestly the Defender armor for myself sounds exactly what I want. I do like the gameplay loop but there are times where the grind was real. Having a buffer where I have armor fully capable of taking out most of the main games content quickly while still grinding materials sounds perfectly fine for me.

Just got the game… Thank You

Brilliant guide, thank you.

Nice guide!

Excellent guide, I just joined the discord. I don't own Monster Hunter World yet but I plan on buying it soon!

bro, idk about that defender thing untill i defeated legiana. im cooked😭, thats why i thought the game was TOO SMOOTG

thanks, just picked this up over the weekend (had it since 2020 after the movie came out), been using defender weapon/armor out of ignorance. But I'm going to ditch the weapon, the only boss that was hard was Diablos, died 2x on it. But I've gotten bored of bow and annoyed at only getting 50 powders or w/e per expedition so im going dual blades but not the defender ones. gonna go thru a genuine progression with weapons at least.

What element should you use or is best to use? Early and end?

I'm having a hard time actually hitting things lol, if you're swinging in a direction and you change your directional input it seems to just keep swinging in the direction you initially pointed unless you stop attacking for a second, then change direction then attack, and by then the monster has already moved. Coming from elden ring this feels clunky but I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

My friend got me to buy this game and we played for 1 hour and quit haha it was a good time tho 🎉

In my first 5 hours of the game I was so stressed out the game didn’t feel new player friendly at all, dodging felt iffy (still does to be fair) hunts felt too long and game felt clunky, and then something flipped everything started coming together I got much more used to the combat by the time it was hour 6-7 the game was much more enjoyable, this game definitely is an INVESTMENT to get into but it is worth it in having a blast so far

Are the dual blades at 6:53 a mod ? and how to get them ? ty

I just started with the game and i am now abt to fight that "balloon bat" and i still can only use defender or standard weapons...i dont get how you unlock more/monster specific because when i look into the tree i see different weapons but i dont see any "condition" on what i need/need to do to unlock them

So i'm now to monster hunter and planing to join MHW, should i start with the basic game or also buy bundle with the iceborne DLC???

Really wish the game explicity told you that defender gear was pretty much baby mode, hell the game even RECOMMENDS you play with the defender gear. Completely ruins the early game experience imo, makes it way too easy

Can i play with my friend after the totorial? Or tgere is somthing else i have to do before we play together
