MHP 2nd: Portable Blog #016

New to MHP? Click here for a rookie guide.

Finally I am up against Tigarex, the star of the show so far and there was a worry that it’s probably too strong for me but the 130+ hours proved to be enough training. I captured the monster on my 2nd try with almost 2 hours spent, probably not the best record for the pros but a cool one for me personally. Being one of the new monsters exclusive to MHP 2nd, it’s natural that the great lizard was great looking and it’s animations are smooth. It’s attacks are creative as well, although it makes him look stupid at times, especially those sliding attacks, which turn him into an ice skater.

Tigarex from Monster Hunter Portable 2nd

My great sword with thunder effects has so far carry me through lots of tough quests, and my other weapons are now almost reserved for multiplayer as they usually don’t require as much efforts. And it’s especially useful against the Tigarex here, a few hit at its feet and you can see it turns red and the monster enters rage mode, a condition when a monster goes crazy and its damages raises by around 1.5 times. A couples of double size bombs and the fact that you can stun him for a while with the flash bomb makes the task a lot easier. With Tigarex captured, the Village 5 Star Quests are opened and I am really looking forward to the great dragons that are ahead of me.

Check out my detailed strategy against Tigarex here.
