It’s represented by a yellow bar underneath your health and it determines how long you can run, how many times you can dodge without a break, how long you can charge a bow, and more. Guild Hall quests involve much tougher monsters than the village chief quests however, so be careful.

If you’re familiar with Monster Hunter, or if you simply don’t mind being thrown into the thick of things, then either Guild Hall is your best bet. Her quests are kind of a slow burn but they’re also a lot less dangerous - even the big hunts. If you’re new to Monster Hunter, or maybe a little rusty, the village chief is the best place to start. When it comes time to go on quests, you'll have three options to start with: the village chief, the Offline Guild Hall, and the Online Guild Hall. Both groups utilize completely different types of armor, so make sure to keep that in mind when crafting new gear. The distinctions between each of the 11 weapon classes are too numerous to go into in a beginner’s guide, but an important thing to remember is that there are two main groups: Melee and Ranged.

The weapons you use are decent, and the tasks are simple - just enough to give you a sense of how the weapon functions. You’ll be given a temporary set of equipment, and an item box full of handy items at the start. Weapon Usage will allow you to try out every single category of weapon in the game. Select the Beginner School, read through the basic Hunter Info, then you’ll be able to select Weapon Usage. Once that’s finished you can find the Training School on the opposite side of the Guild Hall. To find her, just head up/North from your home. In order to access the Training School you’ll need to first speak to the village chief (the elderly woman by the fire). The best way to try them all out is at the Training School. There are quite a lot to choose from - 11, in fact - and each one is different. The first step to getting anywhere in Monster Hunter is figuring out what type of weapon (or weapons) will work for you. So suit up, grab your gear, and get ready to lay the smack down on to very large critters! Which is exactly why we’re here! We’ve put together a handy guide for hunters who are just starting out, full of all sorts of useful knowledge that will hopefully keep you all alive out there. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is a surprisingly intricate game - well, surprising if you’re unfamiliar with the series, anyway - and as such there’s no shame in getting a little help.
