Plus, the higher level your buddies, the more they can do when trading with The Argosy, or when sent on missions with the Meowcenaries. Palicoes have different types and different attacks, so try out a variety. Make sure to always train buddies you don’t take with you at the Buddy Dojo - and recruit new ones if needed from Imori. Trading with the Argosy and Meowcenaries is also how you get unique materials to unlock some cool new equipment! You don’t have to check on the Argosy and Meowcenaries after every quest, but look occasionally and switch out when needed (which you can do from your housekeep).

Monsters don't have health bars in Monster Hunter Rise - instead, you can tell how it's feeling by its actions and behavior. How to Tell a Monster's Health and Status See Wyvern Riding Guide - How to Mount and Tips and Wirebug Guide, Tips, Controls for exactly how to utilize these cool game mechanics. The Wirebug and Wyvern Riding are new to everyone, and are fantastic tools to take down monsters even faster and more fluidly. Once you've created a lobby, your Nintendo Switch friends will be able to join easily by looking at their friend list from within the game, viewing your lobby, and joining! To start a Lobby and play with friends, talk to Senri the Mailman, a Palico near the canteen. We recommend making it to Two Star Village Quests before switching over to the Gathering Hub if you aren't already comfortable with Monster Hunter. The Gathering Hub offers missions that can be done in multiplayer - as such, they are more difficult than Village Quests.

If you forget, you can eat (and change equipment and items) inside the tent on a quest. Lastly, always eat before a quest! Dango always increases your max health and stamina, and grant individual skills - like elemental resistances. Like, if you don’t use Hunting Horn, don’t pick a chest piece with Horn Maestro that only affects Hunting Horns. Armor Skills will become more important later, but for now just make sure to choose armor pieces that aren’t completely irrelevant to you. Just live with what gets you by until you get to the next level of hunts: High Rank. The low rank armor is really only useful for a tiny, tiny portion of the game - so don't worry about investing much into those pieces.

You’ll get armor spheres that simply upgrade Armor’s defense, but maybe hold onto them until you craft a piece you know you'll want to keep for a while, or if you hit a wall against a tough monster and want to get over it quickly. And, don't forget about your Palico's and Palamute's gear! Probably don't want to face a fire-breathing Rathalos with negative fire resistance, or use a water element weapon on a bubbly Mizutsune.

Here are the steps, with everything you need to know about each of them. There are additional (optional) tutorial quests you can do after completing the first one, too. Do This First: We highly recommend reading through the tutorials given to you when you first start the game, and completing the first village quest - which is a tutorial mission - before doing anything else in Monster Hunter Rise.
