Let's Play MHP3rd HD, Episode 4 Part 1/2 (Bulldrome)

Part 1 of 2

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qFTHhD1fPo

In this episode, Bruce receives an invitation to a tea party in the forest glade with the Bullfangi and their king the Bulldrome, Lord of the Trolls. How will Bruce respond, being given a unique chance to interact closely with these majestic beasts in their natural habitat? By murdering them and wearing their skins, of course.

However, little does Bruce know that Bulldrome invited other friends over as well...

Special Notes:

I ended up not using the paralysis shots on Jinouga, but ideally you want to paralyse him after you've used your first pitfall trap on him. He tends to charge up fairly quickly after this point, so anything you can do to delay that while getting some easy hits in on his face is a good idea.

The extra Shock Trap is just a precaution, in case you fail both of your Pitfall Trap combines. Shock Traps are NOT ideal for Jinouga, as they don't work on him when he is charged up.

Fantastic video. You're obviously very talented at this game. I remember my first Jinouga warning. I was using my bone Dual Swords [ first time trying to use duals ]... it didn't go too well.

[BowgunBruce]

@ThePsychoticPanda Actually I was using Dual Swords as well when I first did this quest. I was all excited about it because I'd never used the weapon before and I felt pretty hardcore running around with my twin daggers, so when Jinouga showed up I was all like "Oh yeah you want some too, huh?" And yes, yes he did. I don't think it took even a minute for me to abandon.

[ThePsychoticPanda]

@BowgunBruce Haha! Wow, that sounds incredibly familiar. He got me down in two quick shots and I was out of there.
