Enjoy. --- 1.2 ____________ LSL002 ++About me++ --- ____________ Well, everyone knows me as MHserious on CHU (http://www.cheathappens.com). I've helped alot of people in the past, and alot of people have helped me (you'll find out who in the credits). I'm only 13, I come from the United Kingdom, but I seriously like Monster Hunter Freedom. It's the best RPG/ Action game I've ever played, and probably always will. If you like this game, I suggest you head out and buy Monster Hunter Freedom 2, which comes out in UK and USA September 2007...and I'm most certainly getting that! I'm more of a Blademaster in MHF, but I use Guns from time to time so I can help you if you're a gunner. --- 1.3 ________________ LSL003 ++About my FAQ++ --- ________________ As you all know, this is my first, and it is to help you all who are stuck on "Giant Dragon Invasion" urgent quest to get onto HR3 (G-ranked) the key to everything! This FAQ will contain the best information from me to defeat LSL, it will have info on Teamwork, Gunning, Sword using etc. Also the best weapon to use against him, the Tactics, the areas and more! --- 1.4 ______________ LSL004 ++Contact me++ --- ______________ Now, if you would like to use my FAQ for any good reason, you can either contact me at: this_doodz_random@hotmail.com But to save you time, you should just send me a personal message over on CHU. I will most likely say that you are allowed to use my FAQ, as long as you keep my name on it. BUT! This doesn't mean you can use it without asking. It's always better asking me first. --- 1.5 ____________ LSL005 ++Controls++ --- ____________ Just a quick reminder on how to control your hunter. ----VILLAGE CONTROLS---- Directional buttons -> Cycle through menu options Analog stick -> Move Character START button -> Open Menu SELECT button -> Rearrange inventory items L button -> Display/ Hide player list R button (hold) -> Dash X button -> Talk Confirm option selection O button -> Cancel Option selection [] button -> Move to different area (when option is on-screen) In the village, Open item box, pick items, etc... ----QUEST CONTROLS---- Directional buttons -> Switch Camera view Cycle through menu options Analog Stick -> Move Character START button -> Open menu SELECT button -> Kick L button -> Move camera behind character L button (hold) -> open item select window R button (hold) -> Dash Special Attack/ Block (when weapon is drawn)* (attack dependant on equipped weapon) X button -> Dodge/ Squat Confirm option selection O button -> Talk/ Investigate/ Climb Cancel option selection [] button -> Use item/ put away drawn weapon /\ button -> Draw weapon Waepon draw attack when moving (except wehn using bowgun) --- ________________________________ 2.1 ________________________________ LSL006 ++Intro of Lao-Shan Lung (LSL)++ --- ________________________________ Lao-Shan is the biggest monster in the game! He's so big that you won't be able to fit his whole body onto your camera. He has alot of health, but he hardly attacks you, he doesn't even intend to attack you. He only starts to go for you in area 5, but I honestly think he's just trying to get through/ past the wall. His weak spot is his belly, followed by his head and back. If you are a gunner, you know where to shoot... his back. If you are a blademaster you can go for either the head or belly (preferably head if you don't have High Wind Resistence as a skill on your armour). If you go for his belly, it might be a bit harder to follow him but hurts him more. So, the head might be the best. This Lao-Shan doesn't die much, he runs away. How to beat him? Well, you hurt him as much as possible... and repel him! Oh sorry, that means you have to fight until your time is up, and he should run off like a coward, if you kill him... YOU'RE A GOD! -(in order) His weaknesses: Dragon (seriously he hates this) Fire Thunder --- 2.2 ______________________ LSL007 ++Blademaster's Side++ --- ______________________ Gather up fellow hunters! I am now your teacher, your teacher to help you defeat the almighty..Lao-Shan Lung! If you have a weapon with Dragon Attribute, you have a great chance of winning. This can't guarantee you 100% though. For a starter, here is what is best to defeat him: - Weapon(s): Sword and Shield: Eternal Strife [112 attack; 630 Dragon Attribute] Great Sword: Obelion [816 attack; 180 Dragon Attribute] Any other weapons might be a problem, if you can get better than the ones listed, that's great! - Armour: Head: Black Belt Helmet Plate: Monodevil Mail Arms: Black Belt Vembraces Waist: Velociprey Tasset Legs: COffee Pants (Anything with Torso Inc) Skill - High Wind Resistence, Hunger [x1.5] [They are the best suited armours. Because you'll need them for certain parts of the fight] Anything similar is great, anything better is excellant! - *Items: Book Of Combos 1, 2, 3, 4 Monster Both (15) Large Barrel Bomb + (2) Large Barrel Bomb (3) Large Barrel (10) Gunpowder (10) Wheststones (20) Well-done Steaks (~ 4+) Paintballs (20) [And anything from the item box, most likely Rations and Mini Whetstones] *It is very important that you take the correct items for your victory. --- - How to defeat him: Go for his head, do a full combo until he flinches. Then place 2 Large Barrel Bombs + under his head (when you fell like it) don't use them all before he gets to area 5! When LSL is about to go to a different area, keep fighting him and go for his belly (that's why you have High Wind Resistence), and you won't lose any time. Just becareful when you try to move away from him. Keep your stamina up, and stay very close ot the wall and run while his tail mvoes in the other direction, it's very annoying when he hits you. When you get to the new area, put 2 Large Barrel Bomb + right where his head will be, then as soon as his head is over it, throw a Paintball at them. Then go attack his head, combo, slash, slice, everything you can! Now keep doing the same thing until he gets to area 5, that is the most important place. When you're in area 5, forget about the Cannon S, it isn't worth it. Get the Ballista ready (Press R to aim) and aim right over his head as soon as you can see it, no matter how far he is, just shoot. It hits his back and he hates it. When you've used all of them, jump down, attack his head, do a combo, and then run back up the ladder. Now, it is time for the... Dragonater! If you don't knwo when to hit the big red button, here is how to do it: - When he's on Four legs: Put your camera as low as you can. When you see Lao about to hit, you hit the button. Then the strange screen should come on. Jump down, and attack him. - When he's standing: Well same goes as when he's on Four Legs. But make sure to hit him before he hits you, because it hurts. Again, jump down, attack, action. When he's standing up it doesn't take down any defense off the wall. So I prefer that part. How attack him: Hit his LEFT LEG when he's stopped moving, 'cause when he hits the wall, the right leg moves and it hits you. Keep doing combo, but watch out for him when he gets down. When landed, hit his head, then block with your shield so the roar doesn't annoy you. When his head is back down, attack it. If he hit's the wall on 4 legs, just follow his head. When he stands, place 2 Large Barrel Bomb + under his belly, and throw a paintball, then go for his left leg again. Keep donig this over and over again, until the time is up. It should say "You Won The Battle" and a clip of LSL running away. Congrats, you win, you're now HR3... Go get your reward..fellow hunter! --- 2.3 _________________ LSL008 ++Gunner's Side++ --- _________________ As I said in the intro, Im not much of a gunner. It IS possible to defeat LSL with a gun, but not alone. You can try. Get a super-powerful heavy bowgun, and Clust the monster to death. (Read Going Online for better gunner info). All you gotta do with a gun, is just hit his back. Why a Heavy Bowgun? Well, because you hardly need to move. You only need to move to climb up the bridges. Remember: When on a bridge, stay to the left next to the ladder because LSL stands up and bites you. If you stay left, he can't get you. When he's done that, feel free to go and shoot his face and his back when he's back down. The best suited Bowgun (for a starter of this point) is the Injector Cannon. Injector Cannon Stats: Attack(fully modded): 288 Reload: Fast Bullets: LEVEL 1 2 3 Normal S: 6 6 9 Pierce S: 3 0 0 Pellet S: 4 4 4 Crag S : 1 1 1 *Clust S: Flame S : 3 - - Ice S : 3 - - ThunderS: 3 - - DragonS : 1 - - Recov S: 3 3 - Poison S: 3 1 - Stun S : 3 1 - Sleep S : 3 1 - Tranq S : 2 - - Paint S : 2 - - Demon S : 1 - - Armor S : 1 - - *As you can see it doesn't hold Clust. That's because it holds dragon. Armours: Any armour will do because it's a gunner. If you can get a skill like Pierce S level up or Normal S level up get that, because trust me it's very useful. Items: [Apart from bullets] Book of combos 1 2 3 maybe 4 (for making new bullets) 8 Rations 9 First Aid-meds (don't really need any) Anything else. When you start fighting him it's fairly simple. Go on the bridges, stay to the LEFT because he swings his head across the bridge and if he hits you, you go flying. Shoot his back, he hates it everyone hates hurting their back. With Dragon S bullets you should treat it like Pierce S bullets. Because if you shoot straight in front of his face upwards, it goes straight across his back and it gives more damage and effect. #Read "Going Online" for better gunning info, it's better playing as a team with a gun rather than alone. --- 2.4 ________________ LSL009 ++Going Online++ --- ________________ My favourite: Teamwork! When I go online I usually have my friend with a strong, Heavy Bowgun clusting him to death, and me with my Sword. It's good for the Ballista and Cannon S. A player can carry a Cannon ball, while the other gets rid of the Ioprey in area 6 so you can get through without a prob. You can have all players with 10 ballista so it improves the damage too! Mixed: If one of you are a gunner, and one a blademaster...well that's fine! Do just like I said. The Blademaster goes for the head and belly, while the Gunner is hitting the back with Clust. (Can do this with more than 2 players). It's good having a gunner backing you up! Blademasters: I suggest some have the Eternal Strife, and some have a Great Sword. Or anything with Dragon Attribute! One hitting the head, the other hitting the belly. This will make life much easier. Remember to bring lots of Whetstones if you have kow sharpness. Some of you may have different skills for different times. Like, one has Good Luck for the whole team, one with High Wind Resistence, one with High Grade Earplug so when LSL screams it doesn't affect them and carry on the fight. Gunners: All of you have a Heavy Bowgun. The most powerful one which can hold Clust! You'll need: Book of Combos, 1, 2, 3, 4 Huskberry (10) Sm Bone Husk (50) Lg Bone Husk (10) Bomberry (10) [combined with huskberry for Clust lvl 1] Wyvern Claw (50) [combined with sm bone husk for Clust lvl2] Scatterfish (10) [combined with lg bone husk for Clust lvl3] *Clust lvl1 (3) *Clust lvl2 (3) *Clust lvl3 (3) Rations *Pierce S bullets Anything else you can get *Only take those bullets if your gun can hold them Now, aim the back with Clusts. Pierce is aim upwards at the head so it spilts across his body (goes from his head all down his back). Just do the same strategy on the birdge (stay to left) and in area five, half of you stand behind LSL shooting his back, while the other half shoot the side (left and right). I'm saying "half" because I am not sure if you will be online 2 player or more. Good luck to you all. --- ___________ 3.1 ___________ LSL010 ++Credits++ --- ___________ Well, that's all I can tell you about how to defeat this Lao-Shan Lung.
