In this part of the video, the presenter reviews three gadgets for your Palico in the game:
1. **Shield Spire**: This gadget turns your Palico into a tank, taunting monsters to attack it. It is unlocked in the Wildspire Waste Expeditions. At higher levels, it allows the Palico to taunt more effectively and place inflatable dummies to distract monsters. However, the presenter finds it lacking in value as the Palico already takes hits during hunts, ranking it F.
2. **Plunderblade**: This gadget allows your Palico to steal monster parts, unlocked through Expeditions in the Rotten Vale. Initially, it lets the Palico steal parts directly from monsters. As it levels up, it can throw a boomerang to drop monster parts and eventually stab monsters to drop high-value trade-in items. The presenter finds it particularly valuable for obtaining parts during early encounters and ranks it A.
3. **Coral Orchestra**: Described briefly, this gadget allows the Palico to play tunes that provide buffs and debuffs during hunts, akin to having a Hunting Horn user in your party. The full review continues beyond this segment.
Additionally, the presenter thanks the audience for their support of the small channel, Giddy Fox Gaming.

In this segment of the video, the narrator explains the functions and benefits of two Palico gadgets in Monster Hunter. The “Coral Orchestra” gadget, unlocked in the Coral Highlands, provides buffs such as defense, attack, and status resistances at its lowest level. As it levels up, it enhances critical attacks and can cause monsters to flinch. It becomes significantly more beneficial when playing with another player. The “Meowthav Cocktail,” unlocked in the Elders’ Recess, deals damage through bombs and fireworks. These gadgets are demonstrated to be useful for increasing damage output and ending hunts quicker.
The segment also discusses Palico gear, highlighting that it works similarly to Hunter gear but is simpler to craft. Palico gear includes a weapon, head armor, and body armor with various stats. Players are encouraged to customize Palico gear to maximize their hunt efficiency, though for average players, any gear will suffice. Special attention is recommended for weapons with status effects like blast, sleep, and paralysis.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the strategic advantages of equipping your Palico with different weapon statuses in a game. Key points include how building up the damage threshold can trigger significant blast damage, which is effective against many mods. Palicos equipped with sleep-inducing weapons can offer a free double-damage hit opportunity, while those with paralysis weapons can stun monsters, providing an opening for fast-hitting weapons. These status triggers are clutch moments that can turn the tide of a hunt. The speaker also mentions the potential of using severing weapons to help cut off monster tails and elemental weapons to complement the player’s gear. Overall, Palicos are highlighted as valuable support units that can distract monsters, allowing players to heal or sharpen their weapons during hunts.
