Hunter's Handbook

πŸ“– Relevant Posts Only
Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.

πŸ“– Respect Your Fellow Hunters
Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.

No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.

No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.

No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.

πŸ“– Original Art Only
No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.

Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.

If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

πŸ“– Safe-For-Work Only
SFW cosplay only: no nudes/lewds
No Rule 34: make your own MH34U

I made a post on reddit but got shadowbanned for posting a link to archive.org :/

Check out kuroneko4696 and Darth_Agnon's posts below if you're looking for DLC for MH3G, MH3U, MHStories1 (JP and EU versions).

Contributors (thank them):

also thanks to everyone who wrote guides, tools, instructions, and backups! I have tried to credit them where I can.

Screw reddit.

Update v1f (final):

  • I forgot to include the text for the original post on reddit. It contains a lot more info and is more explicit about the sources. The file is included as "mh dlc compilation.md".
  • The DLC cats "ぽかぽか" & "γƒŸγ‚±γ‚΄γƒΌγƒ«γƒ‰" in the MHXX save had their info translated into English. The complete save now has the original text.

As long as I'm not forgetting any event quests, all the saves should be 100% complete.

Notes:

  • The MHXX save doesn't have the USJ Real item pack, and not all DLC cats are available for hire. Nothing can be done about the former (afaik), and you can import DLC cats using a save editor with the included files.
  • In MH4G/MH4U, some pieces of gear require "Elder Bfly Beetles", which can only be obtained through "Hunters for Hire". Use a save editor to hack them in.

Update 2024/07/16:

I have checked every event quest against Ping's Dex and can confirm that these saves include all of them!

However, many DLC cats for MH4G (possibly even MH4U) are missing. Nothing can be done about this until goshawk (unless someone has a source).

Happy Hunting :)

Update 2024/09/18:

The DLC Cat situation for 4G is a bit complex. (I still have no idea about 4U)

After a bit of research, here's what I've found:

Here is a page that lists every DLC Cat distributed for MH4 & 4G.

Assuming that the atwiki page is complete, there are 2 things relevant for archival:

1. The DLC cats distributed for MH4 (the base game, not 4G) were never released for 4G, so no legitimate 4G extdata will have them.

However, at least some (maybe all) of them are included within the Goshawk server archive, so someone could theoretically decrypt them and hex edit them into a 4G save.

The decryption keys should be within Goshawk, but here's a more useable link.

2. For 4G (and maybe even base 4), there were some DLC cats distributed at limited times and limited events (like USJ). The files for these cats aren't in Goshawk, so they seem to be lost to time and recreating these cats exactly probably won't be possible.

The atwiki link above does list the unique skills that these cats would've had, so it should be possible to modify existing cats to use them using a hex editor (or a save editor).

The 4G extdata I've included in the OP has all the 4G DLC cats that were distributed regularly, and the files for those cats are within Goshawk.

The extdata also has some limited release cats like Nanako G, so it's actually slightly more complete than Goshawk.

I have no idea if the stats & skills for these cats are legitimate (cheating was quite rampant in 4G), but at least for the cats that are in Goshawk, it should be possible to confirm.
For the other cats, I could compare with the skills listed on the wiki, but the stats might still be illegitimate.

I have managed to decrypt the 4G cat files, but I'm not in the mood to export cats and and diff them atm, so that'll have to wait for a future update.

Happy nyanting :P

I had removed my download links due to Reddit not locking the 4-year-old post and my getting constant pings from people who couldn't read the readme expecting free tech support. After seeing my name cited in the above megathread, I have restored links to my more complete archive with full readmes.

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N 2 points 5 hours ago

No shame in just leaving the links here if you want to avoid the Reddit noob pings. Thanks for your preservation work and welcome.

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Screw reddit indeed. This is great stuff. Thanks for bringing it our way. FYI, I'll never willingly remove/delete/ban anyone just trying to passion post something about MonHun. What's the point of an MH community then?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thank ye kindly. Are you a mod here? (The mods section is blank for me)

I'm just sad that the people that helped me complete this won't get to see it :(

ranting about reddit:

Something similar has happened to me before, when I posted innocuous .ru and appspot (dunno what the wider website is) links.
Not only were my comments locked at 1 upvote, any comment I upvoted was too. I felt quite shitty not being able to upvote anything.
Still, why would they filter out archive org links? I'm sure I've seen others post them before...

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I maintain .world and shitjustworks MH communities. And I guess I would be the most reachable for kbin.social too tho I’m not active there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Oh, the mod list does show your name on .world, but it's empty on my home instance.

Good luck modding~
