I am new to the world of MH. I played MHFU (poorly) and have started playing Ultimate. I use hammers now instead of dual blades and am doing a lot better. I was doing a Rathian hunting Guild quest (rank 1) with my husband, and she pinned him down and ate him. I don't remember that happening in MHFU. How do you stop a monster that's grabbing/eating someone? Would bashing them in the head work? I was swinging at her legs, but she would not let up. :(

Also, if anyone has tips as to which hammers are good, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
