Master the Hunting Horn in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate! This guide details all the melodies, their effects, and the notes you need to play them.

Alright, let's dive into the second part of our Hunting Horn melody guide for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. This section covers a bunch of different note combinations, so keep your eyes peeled for the effects that'll best suit your hunt!

We'll be looking at melodies using combinations of Purple, Blue, and Green notes, then White, Blue, and Light Blue, followed by Purple, Blue, and Light Blue. After that, we'll cover White, Blue, and Yellow, then Purple, Blue, and Yellow. Finally, we'll wrap up with White, Green, and Light Blue, then Purple, Green, and Light Blue, and finish with White, Green, and Yellow.

Purple, Blue, Green Melodies

These combinations offer some really useful buffs. The Negate Stamina Use (L) is fantastic for long hunts or when you're constantly evading. Being able to just keep attacking or running without worrying about your stamina is a huge advantage. The Wind Pressure/Currents Negated (S) is great for dealing with monsters that use strong gusts, like Ludroth or Qurupeco, making it easier to stay close and attack. If you're taking a beating, the Health Recovery (S) and Health Recovery (L) & Antidote melodies can be lifesavers, especially when you can't find a moment to chug a potion. And who doesn't love a good Defence Boost (L) to shrug off those heavy hits?

This set of melodies is all about mobility and awareness. The Negate Stamina Use (S) is a solid buff for general use, helping you keep up the pressure. If you're dealing with monsters that kick up snow or mud, the Snow/Mud Negated melody is a must-have, preventing you from getting bogged down. The Psychic ability, letting you see monsters on the map, is incredibly useful for tracking targets or avoiding ambushes. And of course, a little extra defense with Defence Boost (S) never hurts.
