Ah you’re getting close to the finale. Once you off Nergi, you’re on the last act. Once you reach 15 you’ll get the final boss and post it the first cap removal. Then arrives that crazy quest at 29. The elderseal is going to be useful post Nergi.
Thanks for the guild card info. I thought they had some multiplayer use >_>
A lot of monsters will have dragon as a secondary weakness and only a handful having a resistance to it.
For Dual Blades and IG, those are good skills to invest in as they are purely offensive weapons. Not getting hit or your attacks interrupted will be a huge boon.
Tempered Nerg is fairly brutal. That dive bomb just one hits you. The trick is to flash him. I attempted that when I saw him focusing you, and failed. Other than that he only does it when he’s in that black, hardened state so you can play extra cautiously when you see it.
Fully augmented armor of any rarity is all you need to maybe take one hit from it. It’s one of those things where you just really don’t want to get hit. All the Tempered Elders are kind of like that.
I’m trying to use my IG tricks on Black Diablos. Her damage is absurd, though, so every mistake I make is incredibly costly and she’s constantly fucking digging. I can only carry three screamer pods, you thirsty bitch. All I want are some goddamn ridges off your ass. Maybe I can carve them off her while she’s getting that deep dicking she so desperately craves.

If you’re gonna use video guides, you should be using those from established MH YouTubers like Gaijin Hunter or Arekkz. If theirs aren’t up yet (I know Gaijin Hunter hasn’t gotten to it yet) check out the mega-threads in r/monsterhunter on Reddit.
Specifically, for HBG, the video guide you linked meanders around and lists too many things and gets a few things wrong. Nergs HBG is actually pretty good if you’re running normal/spread. Kadachi Lion is mostly situational now, most just use it for Tempered Kirin.
The other thing the guide is missing is armor skills, which are what actually makes these guns strong. For example, the 'blos Blazooka gets really good when you combine it with the Normal Shots armor skill and Elementless skill (it’s one of the few HBGs that benefit from this).
