User blog:Artemis Paradox/My Hunting History: My very first kut ku...

I decided to put up a story about how my very first fight with the pathetic kut ku went. :) Seeing as I'm now slaying HR9 monsters with ease I can't believe how much I once sucked.

This is how my first Kut Ku battle went :D,

It was back in the days of MH1. I was still a newbie hunter who didn't even know how to use a SnS. After a rough and epic battle with the (back then) fearsome velocidrome for me, I had to take on something BIG.

When I first saw it I thought I could kill it by planting 2 large barrel bombs in conjunction with a pitfall trap, while using a Assasin's dagger. When it didn't die I was like OMG IT SHOULD'VE DIED FROM THAT!!! I kept rushing in and got my ass handed to me while flying through the entire area because of his tail swipe. Then after using half of my potions it went into rage mode, and I was like WHAT THE HELL??? And he was 2x stronger all of a sudden. Then I got pwned.

Next run, I though that a Kut Ku was a dragon, so I made the bone armor because it has dragon resistance. I, feeling all great and all decide to go at him again with a Bone Blade+. Because it has 300+ attack I thought he'd die in a few hits. I trap him again, bomb, I spam hits, he doesn't die. He's in rage mode, I get my ass kicked. And then I stopped trying for a week.

Then I thought a bowgun might work, so I used Arbalest+ and used the ledge in area 5 it was? Anyway, it leads to the caves and there are vines to climb up to the resting area of the congalala and rathian. I shot all my bullet into his ugly head, and after 15 minutes he died. My heart bouncing at a rate of 300 a minute, I felt like I stood on top of the world. And so I killed my first Yain Kut-Ku. Without knowing that a certain Cephadrome would kick my ass not much later...

That was 3 years ago, now in MHFU it goes like this: *spots kut ku*, *carelessly walks towards the kutku*, *staggers kut ku with hammer*, *Performs 2 Triple Pounds with Hammer* (10 seconds later since spotting him), *killed a kut ku*, *Thinks of how pathetic that bird is*.
