Greetings Hunters!
Hopefully, this would be the first of possibly many new videos for Monster Hunter Wilds.
I have been nothing but extremely happy how the new hunting horn plays this time around. It is a great mix of the efficacy of MH Rise' horn and the thematic consistency and weightiness of MH World's version. I absolutely love it!
This video is less of a guide and is instead more of myself sharing my thoughts and my current understanding of how the weapon should can be played to its full potential. (Or in reality, this could be just me trying to get the hang of making videos again as it has been far too long since I last made a big project).
In the future, hopefully if time and responsibilities permit, I would be able to make much more in-depth guides like I did before in World.

In Part 2 of this Artful Maestro video guide, we'll delve more into the nuances of the Hunting Horn's moveset.
This will cover frame data, move properties, areas of attack, angles of approach, and practical application.
This will be my lengthiest video to date but there was really no going about with it because there was just so much information to be shared and discussed.
Special thanks to my good friends AmaDEUS_225 and Fyra for giving me valuable feedback and support during the making of this video! And for everyone in the #reddit-horn channel, I love you guys!
I hope you enjoy this video guide and may it serve you well, Hunters!
Arch-Tempered Namielle has been one of the most requested monsters for the Artful Dodger and finally here she is! I hope this guide would serve as a big help to anyone having trouble with her.
Happy hunting, hunters!
DISCLAIMER: Some of the moves in this video were done with Evade Window +1, though rest assured, I have tested with Evade Window 0 to verify that these can all be dodged with base evasion. Also, some of the clips I used were that of normal Namielle because I had many leftover clips from previous recordings. I am aware that there are minor changes from Normal to AT but let me assure you that the concept of this video is still very much applicable despite the dated clips used.
Please check out the HH Master Meganu's channel. I got the idea of several concepts such as baiting the Shock Attack via clutch claw and the waterfall safe spot from his videos. He truly is a leading trendsetter in the Hunting Horn community! youtube.com/channel/UC0hRrLBgUBRRZ-yyNgg2Ztw

In Part 1 of this Artful Maestro video guide, we'll talk and learn about the highly efficient and highly effective Hunting Horn playstyle called the Battle Dance. Learn how a well-paced and well-flowing playstyle can be the difference between a good hunt and a great hunt. If ever you've wanted to up your game and be one step closer to becoming a great hunting horn player, this guide is mostly for you!

Safi'jiiva is just around the corner, are you ready to take on the siege?
Here's a build using the Bazel Valdi Rookslayer, which I think is a Hunting Horn that deserves more love.
Happy Hunting!
P.S. I'm currently working on a Safi'jiiva Artful Dodger video but I'm waiting for the siege to get released so I can add in the final few moves in the third level. Stay tuned! :)
Here's the Artful Dodger guide for Barioth. Many have said that Barioth was their first real challenge. A lot of that is due to his moves being quite chaotic, fast, and relentless.
Hopefully this guide will help remedy these issues.
I've also added in a sample run at the end where I think I was able to apply the methods in this guide. Miraculously, despite a very funny and unfortunate occurrence near the end of the hunt, I was still able to snag the 2nd best clear time for TA Wiki HH runs in the leaderboards.
Thanks very much for supporting the channel and consider giving us a sub!

If there are still some clarifications that need to be done, please feel free to ask questions in the comments section as I will do my best to respond to all of you.
Thank you for the continuous support and happy hunting!
I've seen this question get thrown a lot around and I'd like to voice my opinion in this as well. The Acidic Glavenus Horn is still the Meta Darling but there is one weakness to the build: It requires a great deal of extremely rare decorations! Because of this, the Guild Palace HH now has a chance to compete.
Check the video out to see how the Guild Palace HH compares with the Acidic Glavenus HH and decide for yourself which one you like better.
Our PC friends will finally be having the "pleasure" of meeting Rajang this 6th of February. Hopefully, this guide would be able to help you guys out if you're still struggling with the manic monkey.

Greetings Hunters! I'd like to share this build I used for going through the guiding lands. The great thing about this build is that it is easy to make and it doesn't require any uber rare decorations. This build is very effective in both the beginning and end-game of the guiding lands and could improve more as you obtain better and rarer decorations.

Here's something a little different this time. Several of our viewers have asked what song I'm using in my tutorial videos. The background music is a chillhop remix of MHW's theme "Stars at Our Backs" which I did by fiddling around with Fruity Loops. It's basically a 50 second audio clip looped indefinitely as it is meant to be nothing more than background music.
Anyway, I'm sharing it with you guys in case any of you wanted to hear it as a stand-alone background music. I don't think the composition quality is very good but I do feel this at least has a nice relaxing vibe to it. Hope you guys like it!

I experimented a bit with the Safi'Jiiva Paralysis Horn just to see how good True Crit Status and Abnormal Attack Increase L would be. Seems quite decent, FIVE paralyze statuses inflicted in a span of around five minutes.
I had to equip 2 Sharpness V awakenings in order to preserve sharpness without Master's Touch (I'm not a big fan of protective polish).
I think 6 or 7 status inflection would be possible with better play and maybe an apothecary mantle. Additional paralysis points can be added by sacrificing Health Augment and Sharpness Awakening Upgrades.Hunting Horn Guide - Best ways to use Recitals & Encores - The Artful MaestroTaxman PH2019-12-10 | If you enjoyed this video or found it useful, consider giving us a subscribe!
It's been quite a while since my last video guide and finally, here we are! I'm proud to announce that I'll be doing a new series called "The Artful Maestro" which focuses on best practices and efficient play for the hunting horn. For this episode, I'll discuss the various ways the Recital and the Encore should be used, based on my own personal experience.
I've noticed that there aren't many guides nor tutorials that focus on the "how and why" of many of the Hunting Horn's features and I'd like to be one of the few who would do it.
Although this Recital & Encore Guide is comprehensive, this will not talk about the basics of Hunting Horn use. I would highly suggest checking out Griffted's Hunting Horn Masterclass video which is what initially inspired me to learn this amazing weapon in the first place.

Vespoid Investigations are seen as trash investigations that take up the limited space of your precious five box tempered Zorah Magdaros quests. Always looked down on, never appreciated; insta-delete. Out of boredom, my squad had an idea to wake up a sleeping vespoid with the True Charged Slash of a Greatsword. We accidentally noticed the reward drops of vespoid investigations. HONEY!! (6 per drop)
Not only does it drop honey, you can also gather other useful materials such as Mandragora, Bitterbugs, Blue Mushrooms, Toadstools, and Smokenuts.
Important Note: Keep Vespoid investigations that have a Flourishing: Gathering Materials modifier for the mandragoras to spawn as shown in the video.The Artful Dodger - Arch-Tempered NergiganteTaxman PH2019-06-07 | If you enjoyed this video or found it useful, consider giving us a subscribe!
