Qurupeco is History

I finally brought the overgrown chicken down. The only monster it called when I beat it was the little and the big Jaggi. Rathian never made an appearance. If he had, I would not have beat the Qurupeco quest. The demo disc was a great idea, because it allows players to learn the controls and get somewhat good with them in plenty of time for when the game comes out in April.

I did not know until the other day that when Qurupeco hits its wingtips together three times in a row while dancing side to side that right after that, it will either call a monster or heal itself. If you can hit its song sack while it's doing this, before it is finished, you can either interrupt its monster call or steal its healing power for yourself. So I began to focus on this. The first two times I tried the quest today, I opted for the long sword character. I got close to beating it those two times, but ran out of time just when I had the chicken in its coop. I then tried the hammer character again, and I applied the skills I had learned with the long sword character to my use of the hammer character (i.e., rolling, interrupting it's call, doing a power smash on the Qurupeco when it was on the ground, maintaining my health, sharpening my weapon, etc….). As a result, I beat the thing, finally, after almost a week of playing the game. Apparently, there is hope for me yet in the MMO game play arena. It was tremendous fun, and I can't wait for the game to come out in April. Thank goodness Red Steel 2 will be here shortly. This is probably my last post on the MHT Demo disc. I will blog regularly about my MHT journey come April 20.
