there are certain materials that can’t be obtained if you capture so DO NOT CAPTURE IN SOMEBODY ELSE’S HOST IF THE HOST DIDN’T SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR IT i swear to god

on that note go to hunter’s notes and you can see details on how you can obtain certain mats. focus on attacking and breaking the parts that would give you what you want. and break all parts you can after that

watch out for your health and bail to use a potion whenever it’s down by half

in general it’s good to bail to heal or sharpen in a safe location. it’s more important to keep yourself from fainting than to be there for the action i promise

make a brace decoration so you don’t get constantly interrupted when the whole gang is focusing their attacks on a collapsed mon

make use of the items!! traps (WITHOUT the tranq bombs) and flash/sonic bombs are really good to restrict monsters’ movements and give your team an opportune window. a well timed flash bomb when a monster is about to attack will impair it and cancel the attack, and will bring flying wyverns down from the air. don’t use flash bombs on khezus they don’t got eyes

traps don’t work on elder dragons At All stop trying to trap kushala youre making me sad for you

when the monster is asleep attacking it will wake it up. instead of doing that consider making use of that time to put down some barrel bombs, or sharpen your weapons/heal/do whatever when somebody’s placing down bombs. (one person can put down 2 bombs max, so that’s 8 bombs with a full team I Think i’ve never had a full team placing down bombs bc nobody uses bombs and it hurts my heart)

consider bringing craft ingredients for flash bombs or coatings or anything you might use into quests. you can register a crafting resippy to radial menu

sometimes wirefall (ZR + B) will fly you right into another attack. usually it’s good to wait for a bit and observe if it’s safe to wirefall away. or just stay down as you’re invicible during the get up animation

aside from the dodgeroll every weapon has a block or invicible frame (iframe) skill, and you’re gonna benefit a lot from learning the timing for them, even if only to skip the monster roar flinch animation

take the time to collect spiribirds and you’re gonna be chugging potion way less often. it’s also gonna really benefit weapons that use stamina like bow or glaive

drink demondrugs and armorskins for harder hunts. Please. they last a long time

palicos can fetch extra drops and also provide buffs and big heals so they’re something to consider if you can go without the mobility palamutes provide

once a hunt is done and you’re about to return to town, if you wirebug up and press A to suspend in midair when there’s around 5 seconds left on the timer, the little B-roll animation will be skipped. this also applies to things like jumping off of walls, as long as you’re in midair by the time the timer runs out

please press on the right stick to set yourself as ready in rampage quests so the whole room doesn’t have to wait a full 60 seconds doing nothing

you can choose where your cohoot lands on by standing at the right place and pressing ZR (the landing spot will be marked with a red arrow). you can do this to send your bird to bully my wife, utsushi. this has nothing to do with gameplay i just want you to know that you can use cohoots to bully my wife, utsushi.

His wife, Yukiko, was also a part of this; she is often credited with suggesting the plan. The Sugihara family was held in a Soviet POW camp for 18 months until the end of the war; within a year of returning home, Sugihara was asked to resign - officially due to downsizing, but most likely because the government disagreed with his actions.

He didn’t simply grant visas - he granted visas against direct orders, after attempting three times to receive permission from the Japanese Foreign Ministry and being turned down each time. He did not “misread” orders; he was in direct violation of them, with the encouragement and support of his wife.

He was honoured as Righteous Among the Nations in 1985, a year before he died in Kamakura; he and his descendants have also been granted permanent Israeli citizenship. He was also posthumously awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania (1993); Commander’s Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996); and the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2007). Though not canonized, some Eastern Orthodox Christians recognize him as a saint.

Sugihara was born in Gifu on the first day of 1900, January 1. He achieved top marks in his schooling; his father wanted him to become a physician, but Sugihara wished to pursue learning English. He deliberately failed the exam by writing only his name and then entered Waseda, where he majored in English. He joined the Foreign Ministry after graduation and worked in the Manchurian Foreign Office in Harbin (where he learned Russian and German; he also converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church during this time). He resigned his post in protest over how the Japanese government treated the local Chinese citizens. He eventually married Yukiko Kikuchi, who would suggest and encourage his acts in Lithuania; they had four sons together. Chiune Sugihara passed away July 31, 1986, at the age of 86. Until her own passing in 2008, Yukiko continued as an ambassador of his legacy.

You want to know about my motivation, don’t you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.

People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many people’s lives….The spirit of humanity, philanthropy…neighborly friendship…with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situation—and because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.

The stone next to him bears a quote from the Talmud; “He who saves one life, saves the entire world.”
