Intro xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Updates: 6/10/06: Guide skel was made. 6/15/06: Data collection began, groups were made. 6/17/06: Weapon data added 6/18/06: Submit'd guide. Armor and Upgraded weapons planed for next update. ============================General Introduction================================ You know me, I know me. I know you... Or do I? DUN DUN DUN... If you wanted to learn about Yain Garuga (Iyan Gururuga for importers) then this is the place to be. With that said, get moving, this isn't a library. ==============================Why Is This Here?================================= Simply put, I got tired of seeing "GLITCH" in the forums. I also got sick of countless "How do I beat him" topics. Not only will this help to quash both, but it'll give you the information you need to pummel him. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2. FAQ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q. How do I unlock him in Monster Hunter Portable? A. You had to have: [1] PSP+MHP, [1] PS2+ MH2, [1] USB Link. Everytime you'd beat him in MHP, he'd have to be re-opened again with the link. Q. Can I kill him on my first encounter [the 20 prey quest]? A. No, but you CAN break his parts for reward items. Q. What elements hurt him the most? A. Find out by reading the Faq. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3. The Origin of Yian Garuga xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There's not much known about this mysterious wyvern. Here are some Theories, then I'll give you the truth. ==================================Theories====================================== 1. Rathian and Yian Kut Ku were a little drunk one night... Yeah... 2. Rathalos cheated on Rathian for a Kut Ku (poor bastard). 3. Its just a REALLY, REALLY pissed off, war scarred Kut Ku. 4. Its a Rathian Trapped in a Kut Ku's Body. 5. <Insert Stupid Idea Here> ===============================The Real Deal==================================== So, I bet you're wondering 'just what theory is accurate?' None of them. Not a single one. And here's the answer, as anti-climatic as it is... .... ... .. . Its just an evolutionary Branch of Kut Ku. Kinda like Monoblos/Diablos, but its not a subspecie. Simply put, its basically a distant relative. No Rathians got drunk at a party, no Rathalos took advantage of a Kut Ku (or so I hope not) and its not just the "Rambo" of Kut Kus. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 4. Getting To Yian Garuga xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Can't have a show without the star: ===========================How to Unlock Him==================================== You can only unlock him for your "offline" (Kokoto) Quests.* However, its not a very hard task to accomplish. Step 1: Make it to your 3*s. Step 2: Look for the "Slay the Velociprey Pack" quest. Step 3: Go on said quest. Step 4: Run to area 10, before killing half of the prey** Step 5: Enjoy the entro movie. Step 6: Either fight him or just continue with the quest. Step 7: Finish the quest Step 8: Enjoy having him in your Urgent Bracket, perminantly. * Rumor has it you can unlock him in the Guild quests, I'll prove this true or false when I get the motivation to get there. ** Killing 10/20 prey makes them infinitely spawn in area 10, making it hard to fight. ==========================Why Bother With Him?================================== All right. So you've unlocked the big purple pointy thing. What now? Why bother with the stupid chicken? 1. All of his weapons have MASSIVE AMOUNTS of sharpness guage. 2. The Guns are decent and awesome looking. 3. His armor is pretty BROKEN until + ranked quests show up in the Gathering Hall. 4. He's something new for the old school Monster Hunter players. 5. He's great practice for stronger things. =========================Getting To G Ranked Yian Garuga======================== All right. So you've seen that your weapons and S ranked armor need better parts. Looks like you're out of luck. There is no other Garuga quests in sight.. That is, until you *kill* SEVEN of them. [Not repel, KILL.] Upon your 7th kill, you will notice he INSTANTLY becomes Silver Crown (meaning you killed a big one) and the next fight will be a pain for you if you somehow STILL don't know how to deal with him. There's a 2nd method that *may* exist. I doubt it though. People have reported unlocking him in the GATHERING HALL (meaning multiple people beating on him, instead of just doing it solo). They claim that by clearing all of your quests and by beating the Final Fatalis, you'll unlock him, along with a "batch" of different quests. I'll let you know if this is true or not, in a few updates. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 5. Getting To Know Garuga xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx All right. So now you know how and WHY to unlock him. So now you need to know what he's all about. What makes him tick? What's his attack patturn? What status ailments can he inflict on you? What can you inflict on Him? This is what this section is all about. =================================Area Paths===================================== Obviously, he'll ALWAYS be located in the forest and hills map. However he, like almost every other boss, moves to different areas. Here's a short list of flight paths. The ones with "*" next to them area "commonly used". Starting out: Area 5 -> Area 10*, Area 2 or Area 3. After Start: Area 3 -> Area 4*, Area 2 or Area 3 Area 10 -> Area 4* or Area 3 Area 4 -> Area 10, Area 2 or Area 3* *Average* Common Route: Area 10 -> Area 3 -> Area 4 -> Area 3 -> Area 4 -> Area 3... ==================================Attacks======================================= All right, here's how to read the "list". Some of these aren't even attacks, but I really couldn't think of a better place to list these actions. <key> Attack Name: Name Here Damage: (None> Low> Medium> High) Status Effect: (if any) Elemental Prop: (If any) Warning Signs: (What he'll do before hand/during/preparing for it) Description: Yeah </key> Attack Name: Back Flip Damage: Medium to DEATH Status Effect: Poison (100% chance) Elemental Prop: Poison Warning Signs: He rears back. Description: If you see him doing this (he'll normally pull this if you're under him for too long) BLOCK OR GET OUT OF THE WAY. This is his deadliest attack and if it hits you, chances are you're going on a one-way trip to the kitty cart. Attack Name: Bite Damage: Low Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: None Warning Signs: He'll normally stop in front of you and quickly turn his neck. Description: Not a major threat, but it still hurts and throws you. This can set you up for a REALLY PAINFUL Star Fire Combo or a Peck Combo. Be on your guard if/after this hits you. Attack Name: Evade Damage: None to *Very Low* Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: None Warning Signs: Flaps his wings backwards, small time frame before used. Description: This attack is two-fold. One, he SCREAMS. Two, he "hops" backwards to get away from you. If you have a choice, let the scream "connect" and the wind will knock you out of the "CRAP! WIND!" animation. *Yeah, it hurts a tad if he lands on you.* Attack Name: Fury Mode Damage: None to High Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: None Warning Signs: He throws a little tantrum and begins breathing smoke. Description: This doubles his speed/attack power. If you're UNDER HIM when he starts stomping, it can/might kill you with low defense. Attack Name: Garuga Peck Damage: Low to Medium Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: None Warning Signs: He cocks his head back, very small time window. Description: This attack can hit up to FOUR times. Its not a deadly attack, but if you're cornered, it could mean your death if he spams it. Blocking is near useless unless its one of the later pecks, as it'll DRAIN THE HELL out of your stamina guage. Attack Name: Garuga Scream Damage: None Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: None Warning Signs: None or he'll scratch the ground and growl. Description: This attack is meerly to disable you so he can get a free hit. Block this. Attack Name: Star Fire [Normal] Damage: Low to High Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: Fire Warning Signs: He turns slowly and faces in your direction. Description: A single "fireball" (looks like a Star, hence my generic name). If your fire resistance is low, this can REALLY leave a mark. Block/roll. Attack Name: Star Fire [Ground] Damage: Low to High Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: Fire Warning Signs: He turns slowly and faces in your direction. Description: He'll mix up his fire blasts with this. Instead of a fireball that flies straight out into infinity, he'll THROW ONE NEAR YOUR FEET. This will basically ruin ill-timed rolls/item usage at close range. Attack Name: Star Fire [Triple] Damage: Low to High Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: Fire Warning Signs: He turns slowly and faces in your direction. Description: Same as Star Fire [N]. Only he throws three of them. It will always be in this order: Straight, HIS right, HIS left. Attack Name: Stomp Damage: Low to Medium Status Effect: None Elemental Prop: None Warning Signs: He just got done back flipping... Description: The only time he uses this attack, is right after a flip. This is used to ward away hunters to prevent you from scoring free hits while he "recovers". Attack Name: Tail Spin Damage: Medium to High Status Effect: Poison (50% chance) Elemental Prop: Poison Warning Signs: He spins, what else can I say? Description: BLOCK or ROLL UNDER/AWAY from him. If not, you're tacking either a hard hit or a NASTY hit. This has about a 50% of poisoning you. Cutting off his tail will take some range out of this attack. ===============================Breakable Parts!================================= Like 90% of the wyverns, Yian Garuga has parts you can break off. Its to your benifit to do so. "Why?" Well, read on. A Quick List: Back x1 Head x4 Tail x1(x2-4 techically...) (special note, x1 per round...) Wing x2 (1x per side) -----------------------------Further Explained---------------------------------- Part: Back Spine How to Break: Simply use a gun and fire at his back. Water shots are the best for this. Melee weapons work as well, but are a PAIN to do. You'll know you've busted it off when you see a "rotten apple" effect happen to his upper right spine. Benifit[s]: Scale/Shell rewards at quest end, hurting his pride. Part: Head [Beak] How to Break: Make him flinch by bashing his head (2 Flinches). You'll see the right side of his break crack. Benifit[s]: Beak related rewards at quest end. Part: Head [Left Ear] How to Break: Make him flinch by bashing his head (4 Flinches). You'll see the nub of his left ear "bust off". Benifit[s]: Ear/Shell/Scale/Mane based rewards at quest end. Part: Head [Right Ear] How to Break: Make him flinch by bashing his head (6 Flinches). You'll see his ear "bust off". Benifit[s]: Ear/Shell/Scale/Mane based rewards at quest end. Part: Tail How to Break: Use a bladed weapon to attack the tail club. Benifit[s]: Free carve, "Garuga Plates" in rewards, less Tail Spine range until you kill it. Part: Tail (Special Note: Once per round after tail is cut off) How to Break: Hit the base of his tail stub. Benifit[s]: Makes him repeat the "WTF MY TAIL" animation, seems to give extra Plates in the rewards. Part: Wings How to Break: Make him flinch by hitting hit wing (2 "Wing Flinches" per wing). Benifit[s]: Wing/Shell/Scale based rewards at quest end. =================================Item Drops===================================== Basically, this is a list of items you get from Yian Garuga xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 6. Defense and Elemental Data xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx All right, so you know the general data. This is more for those of you who want to waste him, or just want to know the best places to hit him. Elemental data is here too. Nothing TOO fancy, as I don't want to confuse new players. ==============================Weapon Weakpoints================================= This is going to be a "top 2-3" list of each weapon type (divided into 3 "major types") weaknesses. Don't worry, its not hard to follow. Example: Bullet Damage: Weapon Type[s]: What weapon types this applies to (guns in this case). Weaknesses:Stronger weakness> Not as strong weakness/tie Bullet Damage: Weapon Type[s] : Light Bow Gun, Heavy Bow Gun Weaknesses: Head, Stomach Impact Damage: Weapon Type[s] : Hammer Weaknesses: Head, Neck, Tail Slash Damage: Weapon Type[s] : Dual Swords, Great Swords, Lances, Short Swords Weaknesses: Head, Neck, Tail ================================Elemental Status================================ Instead of listing a difficult chart (its really not needed for Yian Garuga anyway as its pretty bland). I'll be letting you know what elements HE uses and what elements hurt him the most. Poison? Stun? Sleep? Want to know if they work or not? STAY TUNED! Elements Yian Garuga uses: Fire: Fire Balls Poison: Tail Spin, Back Flip Elemental Ratings: Dragon: Poor Fire: Poor Thunder: Poor Water: Excellent Basically, no matter WHERE you hit him with Dragon,Fire or Thunder, you're not going to be doing much with those elements. If you can help it, Water's the way to go. Status Elemental Ratings: Knock Out (Flash Bombs): Works well, he can only use 3 attacks when KO'd. Poison: Negated Sleep: Lasts about 15-30 seconds (I'll get a more accurate time later). Stun: Lasts about 10-20 seconds (Again, better time later on). So, he's not a "super boss". The only thing he negates is Poison (not really a big shock there folks). xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 7. Weapons and Armor xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A list of stuff you can make for beating Yian Garuga senseless. I'll list the Zeni and Materials needed to make it along with a "Graded Rank" for that weapon. Of course, you don't have to listen to me, make whatever you want to make, after all, *I* didn't kill Garuga for you, you did it yourself. ===============================Basic Weapons==================================== All of his "Basic" weapons have "Raven" in the name.
