Hey there, relatively new player here with a palico question

Question

So I got the base game and have been having fun with it, though I absolutely despise the calico. Ive just found out you can leave him behind and thats made the game so much better.

​

Problem is the little bastard keeps following me around the quest hub. Is there a way to confine him to my room somehow?

Sad Kitty Noises He just want to spend some time with His Meowster.

I think if you go to your room and talk to your palico to stay, maybe that will solve your problem.

thanks, I allready did that though, the problem is he starts following me around the second I get back to base. Id rather just never see him again if possible.

​

The reason I have to ask is that I didnt even know I could leave him of missions, so I thought I might miss something else here

Well , I don't really think there's a option to completely stop palico from following you. Sorry I can't solve your problem.

Also, (not sure you want to know or not) Palico is quite useful in some situations, theres a skill Palico have which is revive you when you fainted (like a another chance for you), sometimes it hit you when you are stun ( I got saved a lot of times) and the best for HBG is the taunt and dummy which completely get the monster's attention ( aim and shotgun them )

Maybe give that fella a little try......

Oh well, thanks for the info anyways. The rest of the game seems fine so I guess I can just ignore him while im at base :)

First of all it seems to actively sabotage me. The game has become easier after it isnt there to make monsters charge of in random directions

​

Second of all, I just hate the over the top cutesyness of it. If I have to hear one more "meow" pun im gonna kick it of a cliff. It is called default 1, and I didnt customise it at all, thats how much I hated having to have it with me

Yeesh I can sorta ish see what you mean with the distracting part, mainly for the slight increase in consistency but I think having some of the gadgets just outweighs it's faults, for example the coral orchestra, vigorwasp spray, and meowlotov cocktail are all super good in iceborne

Maybe, but at this point I think I prefer for my character to faint rather than having the palico with me

Felynes/Palicos are such a crucial part of Monster Hunter's identity that I'm really surprised you like the overall game.

Not only Palicos, armor sets, weapons and some monsters are also designed to be dumby cute.

If you also dislike Poogie I'm gonna lose my fucking mind

The pig? He seems fine. He just stands around. I honestly like everything about the game so far except for the palico's, really. Thats why I hoped to turn the one that follows me of. But its not bad enough to give up on the whole game

Poor Palico he/she just loves you :'(
