About Me
Hello, I've been playing the Monster Hunter series for quite a while now. I started with Monster Hunter for the Playstation 2, and it almost instantly became my favorite game. At first, I found it to be difficult. So difficult that I nearly gave up when it came time to fight the Rathalos. Luckily, I was able to go online for the first time and some friendly hunters helped me get the great sword Sieglinde. With Sieglinde and Cephalos armor that I was able to make from MANY "Liver Of Legend!" quests offline, I defeated the Rathalos. Sieglinde was my main weapon for quite a while after that, until I realized I preferred sword & shields over great swords. I ended up making a lot of weapons, such as Deathprize, Eternal Strife, and Corona.

One monster I heard about but hadn't gotten to fight was a Khezu. When the chance to fight one came up, I was excited to fight it. I had never so much as seen a video of it, and my only idea of what to do was "run when it plugs its tail into the ground." I found out that Khezu was definitely a noob killer. If you don't know how to dodge, Khezu is going to get you every time. I did fairly good and ended up defeating it and making its armor. To this day, Khezu remains my favorite monster. Toward the end of my Monster Hunter 1 days, I had obtained nearly every weapon (I had 82, most of which were fully upgraded and most of which wern't weak bowguns) and had Auroros armor made from the Lao-Shan Lung. I had also taken a liking to hammers when I obtained Iron Devil, since a lot of players didn't even know it existed. It is my favorite weapon, though sword and shields are still my favorite weapon types.

Right before the online was shut down for Monster Hunter 1, I stocked up on all the materials I would need to make Dragon armor and the few weapons I hadn't already made. Two weapons I will never be able to make are the Vacuum Striker (due to the fact I used all of the Gold Tickets on other weapons, and yes there is a limit of how many Gold Tickets you can get) and the Hornet Gun (lack of Hornet Bladefins, which were the hardest items for me to obtain next to Pale Lips, which I never did obtain.)
