To succeed in Monster Hunter it is always important that your character is stocked with the necessary supplies and equipment to help them survive any situation they are faced with. As mentioned earlier, high-ranking monsters are difficult to beat. If you face them unprepared you will surely come off second best. 

Before you go out and explore the map, carefully choose the items in your loadout. Make sure you have potions, traps, or bombs. Take items best suited to your character that complement your game technique and the weapons you have. It never hurts to be over-prepared.

 When you are in Buddy Plaza you will see a massive tree behind the shrine that you can climb. Climb up the tree and you will find loads of great items to loot. The nest also restocks after a while so go back there often to get more. 

A great way of getting into the game and learning more about it is by chatting with Fukashigi. Fukashigi isn't called the informant for nothing. Fukashigi is a cat that hides near a painting. Speak to Fukashigi often to learn more about the monster hunter world. 

As you play through Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak you are going to face some pretty powerful monsters. Especially monsters with a high rank when you hit them hit going to seem like you are chipping away at a concrete wall with a teaspoon. It would make sense that monsters with amazing defense most likely also pack a punch.

Even if you are an endgame hunter you will find higher-ranked monsters still deal significant damage. We suggest you try crafting yourself some master-ranked armor as soon as possible to give you that extra defense you need when facing strong monsters. 

In Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak there are some new additions to the map. To get the best experience from playing the game we suggest you explore as much of the map as you can. The new areas make hunting easier. That said, you should try to get familiar with the locations of endemic life and mining nodes. Try to find secret camps as well so you can enable fast travel.

Buddies are always a good choice to have when you play. You can get two types of buddies which both come with epic upgrades. Palamutes can carry and help gather extra materials now. If you unlock the Palamute Silkbinder you can also make use of a wirebug ballista mounted to the back of your buddy. 

You can also use buddies to set up fast travel without sub-camps. This is done through the buddy recon skill. Finally, you can upgrade your buddy's skill memory by collecting Eurejacorn, a material you find in the Argosy. 

With the newly added features such as silk bind and being able to change between skill loads with the click of a button you will find that your wirebugs will be spent rather fast. You don't want to be in a position where you cant upgrade a skill because you used all of your wirebugs. 

For example, certain silkbind combos cost a large number of wirebugs. If you use sakura slash to max out you longswords spirit level you would have already used four wirebugs. When using skills always keep in mind the cost of wirebugs and use them sparingly.
