Friendly tips for folks who are new to Monster Hunter 1. If you are stunned, caught in Nerscylla's web, or pinned by a monster(it's when the red bar shows up), tap any and all buttons to escape faster. This might work for snow/mud too, but I'm not 100% sure. 2. Doing evasion rolls (3 or 4) gets rid of Fireblight. Or roll into any nearby water source once. 3. Gypceros likes to play dead.
