Thirsty rule

The server has a lot of experienced and knowledgeable MHGU players, lobbies for matching up, and fun recurring challenges!

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).

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" & "ミケゴールド" 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

probably not the flex he thinks after DD2's poor performance even on REframework and the state of PC releases in general

"We talk to Monster Hunter Wilds art director and executive director Kaname Fujioka, series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, and director Yuya Tokuda about the weapon updates, Gemma, and that dating sim tag."

New info from demo showed at SGF

Monster Hunter Wilds, coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC/Steam in 2025

Oooh, I'm excited. The accompanying updates to the website are super interesting https://www.monsterhunter.com/wilds/en-us/

I doubt anyone reading this needs it, but this bundle is madness.

$20 for RiseBreak alone

$30 for WorldBorne + RiseBreak (and deluxe benefits too)

Now is a good time to bully your PC friends.

Tempted to tag this NSFW, definitely NSFL.

After a long wait, the Khezu model is finally here.

It was worth the wait as it will be the only premium model to play the monster's theme music.

Picture with two people captioned "you shouldn't be here" "neither should you" with the dual blade icon and greatsword icon over either person respectively

Added DRM to a 2 year old title. Just confirmed the game wont launch for me. I assume I'd have to remove my REframework mods. I would never have dropped 1300 hours on MHRSB without the handful of QoL mods I use. Capcom is flirting with breaking my 15 year addiction right now.

"Following up the monsters of Monster Hunter Frontier, I now present the wild and creative creations of the Chinese MMO, Monster Hunter Online. It's my pleasure to showcase what are probably some of the most obscure creatures that this franchise has to offer"

I remember while playing MHG on my 3DS seeing some details about the new Brave style in MHXX and being hyped for whenever we would get it. Then Nintendo went and decided to start charging for online, which is a redline for me. So I went from buying a Wii-U and 2 3DSs just for MH to not getting a switch sadly.

But man has this revisit been worth it. Valor is so much damn fun, just like I had hoped all those years ago. GS was this first one that really stood out. But, now that I've finally given it time to breathe and learned it, Valor CB is one of the most fun weapon/style combos I've played in any of the games. I know striker is the meta, but I'm having too much fun to hear all that noise.

Doing the AED3 wild swing on all these old mons with their horrible shitboxes and old AI is just a damn good time. Finding myself responding to the MH Bullshit^TM^ moments now with laughter when it was extremely frustrating in the past. Just amusing to see how far things have gone in just one generation. Also fun to spot things in GU that were obvious blueprints for RiseBreak mechanics and systems.

Once I get into G rank I may see if anyone also has the Ryujinx hookup for some multiplayer.
