I soloed Gold Rathian in MH:W!! Took me two tries, cat on healing duty, a new item loadout focused on antidotes and terrible muppet flailing that didn't even take off her tail. (And to be clear I'm not new to gold rath, I've "persuaded" my friends to kill her for me before.)
But I did it!
My reward is my pals BULLYING ME by saying "this means you're good at Monster Hunter." Nooooooo I'm a dumb bugstick baby who hasn't improved in 415 hours, leave me alone
