Introduction
This guide is my opinion on fighting the big ones in MH3. This is in no way the best way to do it, or the fastest, just what has worked for me. I used Great Swords for all fights but I'm not saying you should. If you feel that this guide is a little wrong in places e-mail me at Cyanninja@live.co.uk. It is not guaranteed in anyway shape or form to make it into my guide. Your super-strategy will make it in on my whim. This guide is not supposed to be a step by step instructions on how to kill the monster, It's not possible. What i'm telling you is basically an order to remove things, special equipment needed and nasty moves to avoid. Half the fun of monster hunter is you have to figure out the tactics on your own. I'm just giving you a large helping hand.

As I said before, I used great swords for every monster here but the tactics that I use should apply to all Blade master weapons. I am in fact testing this using my friend, he uses lance, and so far my tactics work for him.

General Guide on Fighting Boss Monsters

 * Come Prepared. Bring Additional Potions, Mega Potions, Whetstones, Paintballs, Cool and Hot Drinks, Food (stamina replenishers),Traps and Bombs (Large, Flash, Sonic or otherwise) If you need it in the fight bring  it, because you might not be issued with enough it (sorry Coco).


 * Make sure you have the correct weapon and armour for the fight. Nothing worse than losing because 25% of your weapon damage is ineffective. More importantly make sure your gear is up to date as possible, you are  not beating the lagiacrus in Loc lac.


 * By the way, to conform with MH wikia rules I will say what Great sword I used, this is my recommendation for Great sword users, other blademasters need to think about why I choose that weapon, and pick a suitable one  (for example, if I say Ludroth Bone sword+ and you use SnS then you going to need something like Royal Claw)


 * Know your monster. Things have changed since MHF2/MHFU and even classics like the rathalos have been modernised. Just because they WERE a laughing stock doesn't mean they are any more. Plus I will be refering  to specific moves in the guide WITHOUT explaining them. Use Monsterhunter.wikia.com to see what each attack  is.


 * Kill or Capture? Make sure you know what you are doing and when to do it. I have lost many capture quests because the trap was laid too early.


 * Check Sub-quests. These can be the revival of lost causes while questing. Being reissued with more pots and food is a godsend at times.


 * Don't quit. Ever. even if you know you aren't going to beat it in the time doesn't mean you have lost. Subquests now mean you can get a consilation prize on difficult monsters.


 * Don't listen to other people. Just because they can do Lagiacrus in under 5:00 minutes with a Switch Axe doesn't mean you have to OR it will work for you. Just use what you want to and adapt their strategy into  your own. That includes my guide. :)


 * Use Cha-cha and other players as a distraction. Other players make healing, whetstoneing and eating easier, take the opportunity when the Boss monster is focused on them to replenish and restore yourself.


 * Blunt weapons aren't really accounted for in this guide, sorry hammer bros

MH301 - Great Jaggi & Great Baggi
Rank: Very Low

Gear: I did it naked, but I recommend either Leather and Chainmail Armour Set

Weapon: can't quite remember what i used, but Iron sword+ or Bone Sword+ should suffice

I know this is mean and you will all hate me for it but the only real tactic here is hit him. Hit him on the head if you can and clear the trash. I'm sorry but you can't get much easier than these two. The only difference between the two is the Great Baggi can spit a sleepy ball at you and has more health. He usually misses with the spit unless you deliberately stand still.

They run away when they get hurt, and unlike previous games, they now can teleport from area to area using cave openings. Make sure you have him paintballed or you might spend 2-3 minutes looking for him, when you shouldn't really be.

The only time these two are a problem is if you meet them whilest fighting something else, like a Barroth or Qurupeco. My advice to you then is to run. Fighting anything with trash around is difficult enough, let alone mildly clever trash that can actually hurt.
