Bring some flash bombs around

Flash pod (aka flash bomb) are useful against flying monsters such as Rathalos, Legiana or Kushala Daora (elder dragon). Using a flash bomb on them at a suitable timing make them blind and fall down so you can kill them easily. Combining item is now less complicated, previous Monster Hunter titles require 2 items (bomb casing and flash bug) to craft a flash bomb, now you only need 1 flash bug for a flash bomb.

You can sprint while drinking potions or eating

In previous titles, eating and drinking potions is a hassle which you need to find openings in order to heal properly. Now in Monster Hunter: World, you can press R to sprint even when you are drinking potions or eating.

Pick up dung whenever it is available

At higher rank hunts, monster deals more damage and is more aggressive. Also, there is an ~~asshole~~ annoying monster – Bazelgeuse that would appear on every map and will always crash into your battle with other monsters. You can chase monsters away using Dung Pod (aka dung bombs).

Just like flash bombs, 1 dung is required to create a dung bomb. However, you can only obtain dung by picking it up yourself during a quest so remember to pick it up whenever you see it.

Eat before you hunt

Always get yourself ready (or make yourself fat) by eating some food at the camp or cat chef. Be sure that your stamina and health are at the cap (150) before you start your hunt. Get yourself a Felyne Insurance too if you want to be safer.

Use Specialized Tools wisely

Certain specialized tools are really useful that could even save your life more than once. Some examples are Health Booster that restores your health or Rocksteady Mantle that reduces the damage you take. Remember to use them often!

Join the Hunt instead of creating one yourself

You will need to hunt tempered monsters during late game, but it is usually difficult to find them – you will need to search the tracks (randomly), increasing the investigation to a certain point in order for the quest to appear. Well, there is actually an easier way – you can just search other players’ quests using the filter function. Simply set the Quest type to Investigations, Difficulty to 9 stars (hunting tempered monsters is always a 9-star quest), Rewards to available and make your search!
