A Basic Strategy Guide for the Aspiring Bow-User


Greetings, fellow hunters! It's ThrillBone, and today we're diving deep into Monster Hunter Now. We have a detailed guide for all those bow-wielding hunters out there, whether you're playing for free or have invested in the game.

This guide will walk you through an effective strategy chart for the first three chapters of your monster-hunting journey. So, if you're ready to unleash the power of the bow, let's dive in.

Early Game Essentials

In the early stages, acquiring the right equipment is key. As a bow user, you'll want to focus on two primary elements: your weapon and armor. Here's a breakdown of what you'll need:

Bow Selection: Early on, you'll be working with limited resources. As you embark on your journey, consider crafting the Pukei-Pukei's bow. This poison-inflicting bow is perfect for those playing without spending money. It's the third week of your story, and this weapon will be your trusty companion.

Armor Choice: Pukei-Pukei becomes your go-to monster. By crafting Pukei-Pukei's Level 2 armor set, you can gain valuable skills and boost your bow's effectiveness. The bow skill you'll acquire is exceptionally strong.

Now, as you progress through the game, you'll find that armor skills are vital. In the early game, aim for these skills:

Poison Attribute Enhancement: This skill enhances the poison attribute of your bow.

Focus: Boosting concentration helps you land more shots on target.

Keep in mind that armor skills don't activate unless your armor reaches Grade 2. Therefore, prioritize getting your gear to this level before moving on.

Step 1: Focus and Poison Power

By the end of the first chapter, your goal is to have reached Focus Level 1, Poison Attribute Enhancement Level 2, and achieved a weapon-grade of around 4. This level of gear is well-suited to take on the Rathalos at the end of the chapter. If you're confident in your skills, a Grade 3 weapon with Level 5 can also work, but Grade 4 provides a more stable experience.

Step 2: Raw Weapon and Power Surge

The second chapter of your adventure is about the raw weapon, the Legiana set. With this gear, you should aim for Concentration Level 1, which you can achieve with Pukei-Pukei's Head and Legiana's Armor Set. This setup provides the perfect balance for your journey.

Here's a quick summary:

Raw Weapon: The Diablo bow is your priority.

Pukei-Pukei's Head: Concentration Level 1.

Legiana's Armor Set: This set complements your bow skills effectively.

Once your gear is set, Diablos will be your next challenge. With a Grade 4 weapon, you can easily conquer this chapter.

Chapter 3: Overcoming the Demon Gate

The final chapter, your ultimate challenge, involves taking on Diablos. To ensure success, follow these steps:

Raw Weapon: Upgrade to Grade 6.

Focus Level 5: To achieve this level of concentration, strengthen your gear to Grade 5.

Jyuratodus Materials: To reach Grade 6, you'll need materials from creatures with a 6-star rating or higher, and you'll need the rare yellow material from Jyuratodus to max out your concentration skill.

The bow is an efficient weapon choice, especially for free-to-play users. This strategy chart can guide you through the game, ensuring you're well-equipped to tackle the challenges. Keep upgrading your gear and skills, and you'll emerge victorious in the world of Monster Hunter Now.

And there you have it! A not-so-comprehensive strategy guide to help you on your monster-hunting journey. Don't forget to use your bow wisely, adapt to your skills, and conquer your quests. Happy hunting, fellow bow-users, and may you emerge triumphant in this action-packed world.
