Money with a Sueki Suezo
If you need money, first go to the shrine and use the
Monster Rancher 1 CD. This should result in a Sueki Suezo, a monster
with excellent stats, except for speed. Use this monster when
battling in a free-for-all. If it wins, you will get money and
perhaps an item. Note: This monster lives only for one week. If
you need more money, unlock it and battle again.
Phoenix Feather
On the first expedition to Kawrea Volcano, if your
monster is intelligent enough it will find a Phoenix Feather there.
Get a Dragon
Get a monster with a rank of B. You will eventually
be invited to a competition. It is a fight against a Dragon. You
also may need fame of 80+. Have all of your monster's stats up
to at least level 5 or 6, very high speed, and strong techniques.
Also, use a stimulant just before the fight. For example, Nageel.
Get Phoenix again
Use the following steps to get Phoenix again after
it is retired or flies away. Take the disc from the PC game Dune
2000 from Westwood Studios to the shrine and you will receive
a Phoenix with higher stats than the original one obtained from
the Fire Feather. Note: An original Phoenix has to be obtained
before receiving one from the disc. To get an original Phoenix,
go on an adventure to Kawrea volcano (pre- or post-eruption).
Search the volcano. One of the items that can be found is a Fire
Feather. Take it to the lab and use it as a secret ingredient
combining any two monsters to get the Phoenix.
Other CDs that will unlock a Phoenix at higher stats than the
original are Frente-Marvin and Saviour Machine-Legend
Part 1.
After unlocking a Phoenix with a Fire Feather you can use Shaking
The Tree by Peter Gabriel to get another Phoenix which is
stronger than the first.
You can get the Phoenix again by using the CD Brak Presents
The Brak Album Starring Brak.
Get a Wracky
Increase your fame up to 100 and defeat the major 4.
Recommended monsters for beginners
Zuum (either normal, or one with a simple subtype like Hare)
Jell (most subtypes work well)
Mocchi (the one from the Market is good for beginners, unless
you can find one with better stats)
Hare (most subtypes work. Usually one from a CD has better stats
than the one from the market)
Tiger (normal or simple subtype)
Gaboo (any subtype, usually one from a CD has better stats)
Golem (if you have a big enough house and if you raise it well)
Henger (if you can raise it well)
Worm (any subtype works)
Monol (most subtypes are pretty good if you can raise it right)
(Japanese version)
Note: This requires the Japanese version of the game.
The DNA capsules in the game can create some very unique monsters
when used in breeding. The following is a list of the seven capsules
and the monsters that they create. These monsters can be created
using any two monsters with the correct capsule. These items can
be found on any adventure, but you have more chances on the Frozen
Mountain.
Red Capsule: Poison Pixie/???
Yellow Capsule: Mia Pixie/???
Pink Capsule: Gentle Mocchi Mocchi/???
Gray Capsule: Moo Dragon/???
White Capsule: White Mocchi Mocchi/???(Energy class)
Green Capsule: Gold Suezo Suezo/???
Black Capsule: Forward Golem Golem/??? (resembles a football player)
