What did you kill to unlock it? If that is the S version.

Nah thats Zinogre transmute (what i could afford anyway). I do have it unlocked though. Me Hatorade and Brahma were rodeoing damn near everything around during our runs so probably was a victim of one of our outings.

Hatorade is like "FUCK THAT". Think images look washed out due to playing in HDR =/

Anyone unlock Azuros S armor? There are no high rank missions specifically for Azuros at all, so far (I'm only hr24). I've killed Apex Azuros from the 7* mission, but the materials I got from it did not unlock the armor. Kinda annoying as I'd like to get the legs.

You mean Arzuros, the bear? There's 2 different HR quests for it, HR 4stars, Divine Comedy has Arzuros+Kulu and if you scroll to the other page, there's Blue, Round and Cute with a solo Arzuros capture quest.

So gave HH a good spin now, did HR4 and HR5 with it, and damn it's strong. It's so much stronger than in World, and already in Iceborne they made HH pretty good. It's also so much easier to get into. Don't have to memorize songs per horns, don't have to do the little buffing dance before the fight, don't have to think "oh I should rebuff soon, time to do a little dance again". Takes like 7-8secs to do both the moves and the perform to get all your songs and you can "store" the moves way ahead of time(I mostly have to remember to do a forward triangle > circle combo to get both of these notes saved up and then it's ready for next opening to refresh all songs at once). Can refresh songs just by attacking if you don't mind doing them one by one. Healing song is actually useful now cause you don't need to perform it, just spam the button for heal as your main attacks and boom healing every 2 attacks(+antidote on some horns).

Does big fucking damage too with the silkbind attack and you still have the HH self improvement buff so you have perma mind's eye and higher movespeed, and since it's still a HH you get stuns and exhaust too, so you get to do a bunch more damage.

It has almost everything, only downside is you can't cut tails obviously, but honestly that's not even a huge deal unless you need a bunch of tails for a specific items(and then you'd better be off playing some shit like slice LBG with partbreaker 3 and just cutting tail, carving and leaving anyway regardless of what you play).

It's really really fucking good now, and feels really nice to play without the micro management of songs. Still have to do some things, but it's so much easier it's not even close.

Now switching to Insect glaive in HR6, see what's with the changes. Need to unlock the silkbind skill via quest so first thing I'll do, I originally wanted to wait for power prolonger jewels but with the dual kinsect it's probably not gonna be too much of a problem, especially dual attack(you get attack out of any extract, so no missing the head 5times cause the monster is flying and jumping around and shit, just hit whatever and boom you have red).
