Wow. Well my story isn't that exciting but there I was with my first mh game, Monster Hunter Tri. I've just finished killing the Lagiacrus and sincerely all the previous monsters (except Great Jaggi) were like super easy. I had unlocked five stars quests and from the three options I choosed to hunt a Rathalos. I followed him through thick and thin. He killed me, the quest failed. It was my first time failing a quest. I couldn't take it.

So i decided to get a new weapon, a Switch Axe, called the Tough Break. I saved my GS and retried the mission. This time I brought cool drinks, 10 mega potions, herbs and blue mushrooms plus I even had 2 max potions. The quest started I found him on area 4, I threw the flash bombs I had stored and landed some hits. He was obviouly better than me and took my potions in an even bigger flash.

A few minutes left on the clock I was desperate, no potions but the skill Capture Guru kept telling me he was weak to capture. I didn't have tranquilizers. He left to Area 6 and I followed. He was there laying in his sleep, resing. I get close and place Large Bombs + followed by my third shock trap. Less than a minute on the clock I place the small bomb next the big ones. They ignite, explode and Rathalos falls to my feet. I was victorious and I took my carves with pride. From that moment on I was a REAL Hunter.
