[Krysta] -That's a giant mango, or whatever it was, that he just tossed at us.
[MissClick] -Mango pumpkin? [Kit] -Oh, I can see it. I'm, like, scouting it out
from way up here. Ohhh, I see it.
[laughter] -Oh no, I fell down. -Oh, he's got the fruit again!
No! -Oh, the fruit! -Not again with the fruit!

-Yes, exactly. -Carry me. Carry me.
-Luckily I'm here for you guys to help out Nintendo Minute.
-Thank goodness. What weapons are, um, are you guys into right now?
[heroic tribal orchestral music] There's so many to choose from, so--
-I think I'm just using the default sword.
I just wanna, I'm trying to, like, I think at this point,
I'm just gonna go through every weapon
since I haven't had any experience with them,
and I'm just, gonna try them each out and determine if I like them or not.
-That's a good strategy. There, there is tons to choose from,
so yeah, that's a, that's a good way to do that.
-I think I hear a Palico in somebody's background. [laughter]
-It's my Palico. She wants to join the hunt. [Kit] -Wants to fight, yeah.
-Um, yeah, I'm using the, uh, bow right now, and,
um, just the regular bow, and it's phenomenal.
Um, I'm having a lot of fun with it.
So, that's the weapon that I've been using. But, I also like the dual blade,
and I know Krysta you like that, you know, as well. But, um, -Yeah.
-but um, y-yeah. Right now I'm using the bow and I'm having a ton of fun with it.
-Yeah, I love the, the dual blades.
Um, I've been, I've been sticking with it, for sure,
and, upgrading it and, and, crafting new,
cooler dual blades as I, as I've been playing through the game,
so, yeah, it's been great. -And I'm still with, uh, the hunting horn,
so you're welcome in advance for all the great help I'm gonna give you.
-All the beautiful music? -Yes. [chuckles]
All those buffs. -Yeah, those are great buffs too.
I was like, "Wow, I'm actually doing more damage,
like, this is great." [laughs]
Like, I'm actually doing some damage here. -Yeah. I feel like,
we had a pretty good, like, -We, we look pretty cool, riding on these Palamutes.
-Yeah, and also, our team is, like,
we have a good array of different weapons, too. -Right.
-So, it's, like, really nice to have such a balanced team.
-This area's clear-- -Our target is the Bishaten,
which is that, kind of, whirly looking thing on the map.
-He's breakdancing too. Whoa! [all laughing together]
-Oh no, I just like, really, like, I walked in and got hit-- -Oh!
-Some poison there. -Hit us with the poison. -hit with,
hit with the fruit, the poison fruit.
-I need to use this, silk bind attack, that's, that's,
-Oh, yeah. Get this going. -Oh, that's great. -You got it.
-Mm. -Yeah. Kit, um, what buffs do you,
uh, give us with this, uh, with that hunting horn that you have, man?
-Well, the one I really like now is, um,
attack up and defense up, all in one.
-Oh. -Oh. -That's a cool one,
and then I have another one that'll regen some health for everybody too.
-That's a giant mango, or whatever it was, that he just tossed at us.
-A mango pumpkin, hairy lookin'--
-Oh! -Oh! -A, a fla--
Was that a flashbang? -Oh, we all, we got, all got, um, like, stunned.
