Anime Goodness Presents... Unlocking Rare Monsters for Monster Rancher 2 Version 1.0 Alright, so you've started that really fun game called Monster Rancher 2 and you go over to the shrine to unlock your first monster. You grab your favorite CD, and to your suprise, it says "Sorry, you are not allowed to unlock this disc". What gives? For about 60% of the monsters in the game, you must fullfill requirements in order to unlock them. I have composed a little guide here that will get you unlocking more discs in no time! <***> GROUP UNLOCKINGS AT THE START OF THE GAME- In the beginning, there are several monsters that you can already unlock. They are (In no particular order) Ape, Pixie, Jell, Tiger, ColorPandora, Zuum, Naga, Hare, Hopper, Kato, Suezo, Arrow Head, Mocchi, Gaboo, Plant, and Monol. However, if the sub breed of one of these monsters is still too rare for you, you can't unlock it. There are some exceptions though. Dragon, Worm, Henger, Gali, Mew, Golem, and Baku sub breeds are allowed. Not as main breeds though. IMA-FIMBA MEET- This tournement is held every 4 years starting from 1001. On the 4th week of July, if your monster is D class or better, there is an elimination match. You have to win this to participate in the meet. Once you beat it, you just have to participate in the Meet and not necessarily win. Once you have done this, you can unlock Hengers, Worms, Mews, and Galis. STABLE UPGRADE- When you are 4th rank and have at least 1700 gold, on the 4th week of May you will be asked to upgrade the stable. Do so and you will be able to unlock Golems and Bakus (bigger stable, bigger monsters). HOT SPRINGS- You must have a Hopper main breed monster. During the Winter, if the Hopper has no stress and fatigue and is B class or higher it will excavate the hot springs. You will find a Slate which you can use to unlock an Undine. Once you have unlocked it, you can unlock Undines and Nitons from CDs. <***> SEPERATE UNLOCKINGS PHOENIX- When on the Kawrea Volcano Expedition, find a FIRE FEATHER and use it when combining any two monsters to get a Phoenix. You can now unlock Phoenixs'. GHOST- A monster must die. Some time later you will be asked to upgrade the altar. Do so and you will be asked again another couple of years. Once you have upgraded it twice, Colt will find a STICK/STAFF. Use it when combining any two monsters to get a ghost. You can now unlock Ghosts. MOCK- Once you are 4th rank, go to the Shop and Auntie will give you some seeds. During the course of several years, the tree will grow, bloom, and die. You must then let a monster die after the tree is dead. A Mock will be waiting for you in the stable when you return from the funeral. Yous can now unlock Mocks. DUCKEN- When you are on the Torles Mountain Expedition, you must find some STRONG GLUE. Once this is done, you must collect five star jelly cups and send away for a Quack Doll. Don't give the doll to your monster and then use it as a seasoning to make a Ducken. You can now unlock Duckens. DRAGON- If you are at least 6th rank and your current monster is Class B and you have the first upgrade to your stable, you will get invited to a Invitational fight on August 2nd. It's a single fight against a dragon. If you win, you receive the Dragon Tusk. Use this item as a seasoning when combining any two monsters together to get the Dragon. CENTAUR- Several years into the game when you have achieved a rank of 4 or better and your current is Class B or better go to the Mandy Desert errantry, the monster might return with a Spear. When it returns a Centaur will attack your monster. You don't need to win this fight. Use the Spear as a seasoning when combining any two monsters together to get the Centaur. BEACLON- You will need a Worm [Worm/Worm]. It must live to 4 years or more. It must have had NO stress and NO Fatigue in its lifetime, that means NO ERRANTRY, NO HIGH FATIGUE TRAINING, AND LOTS OF REST. Regular drills are ok as long as you rest him after you drill him a couple times. Its loyalty needs to be 80 or higher and its rank needs to be E or D. It needs to be fed at least 30 cups of jelly in its lifetime. If all of these conditions are met and your monster is "Very Well" and has not stress on the 4th week of June he will spin a cocoon around himself. 1 week later emerges a Beaclon with the same stats as your worm. WRACKY- Your monster must have a fame of 90 or above and it must be after the year 1005. You also must be rank 7 or higher. A fan will send you a doll. If you throw it away you will get it back next month. Once you decide to keep it, it will disappear. The next time a monster dies the Wracky comes alive. DURAHAN- Go on the Parepare adventure. Your monster will eventually find the old sheath. The next time you go to the shop you will hear a story about some stolen swords.
