Three-star Quests

Three-star Quests

You can now invite Cha-Cha on quests. Cha-Cha is an AI partner who can attack enemies, gather and carve additional items for you and boost your Attack, Defence, or Health by dancing. Check out the “Moga Village” section of this guide for more about Cha-Cha.

You've also unlocked the Switch Axe, a new weapon type. This weapon has two modes: an axe mode and a sword mode. The axe offers a higher damage output, but the sword deals elemental damage (provided the Switch Axe you're using has an elemental damage attribute).

If you're still using a Sword & Shield, unless you've grown fond of this weapon type, now is the time to consider branching out. Try each weapon type until you find one you like. The Arena mode is good for trying out new weapons, as you won't have to craft them yourself.

It is best to stick to melee weapons offline; leave the gunner weapons alone for now and concentrate on finding another melee weapon type you're comfortable with. Though it is much slower than the Sword & Shield, the Great Sword is a good weapon class for beginners.

And, if you haven't already, you might want to look into forging some new armour. The Jaggi armour set is a good choice, as each piece gives 10 defence points and the materials are easy to come by. You'll likely have to hunt or capture the Great Jaggi a few more times to gather all of the materials, though.
