Monster Rancher 3 Pcsx2: The Ultimate Guide to Fighting Tournaments and Secret Expeditions



Making up for the loss of the combination system is the ability of monsters to adapt to their surroundings. Though only one is available at the start of the game, the five different homes that you can raise your monster in represent five climates, each with its own training regimes, features, and food.




Monster Rancher 3 Pcsx2




Morx, the first region you will train in, is a clearing in a forest centered around a gargantuan tree. The grassy area is covered with mushrooms, allowing the monster to train by interacting with the tree and the fungi.


Goat, the oddly named underwater sanctuary, allows you to raise your monster underwater. The waters of Goat are extremely high in oxygen, explaining why and how you and your monsters have no trouble living under the sea.


Each monster is affiliated with one of these regions, and has subspecies corresponding to each climate and area. For instance, the Suezo - a monster normally inclined to Takrama - also has a subspecies for Goat, the sharklike Fukazo.


When a monster of one subspecies is raised in another area, after a time, they will mature. If they have been fed with enough of the regional food, they will adapt to their surroundings and change subspecies. For example, if a Morx Mocchi is raised in Brillia, and fed enough of Brillia's local food, the Mocchi will adapt to its surroundings, turning blue and white to blend in with its now home, and become a Brillian Mocchi.


However, the player may still generate monsters by inserting a disc into the PS2. Furthermore, Monster Rancher 3 is the first series in the game to allow players the ability to generate monsters based on past discs, as well as monsters already bred. As an example, once a monster has been bred, from that point on one can simply generate them from their Monster Encyclopedia, saving the gamer unnecessary time and trouble having to remember and find discs that generated various monsters. Also, Monster Rancher 3 is the first, and only to allow you to trade monster data. For example, let's say you have a monster your friend wants, you can simply plug both memory cards in, and you can transfer the monster you have in your Monster Encyclopedia to his file.


Instead of the expeditions typical to the series, at each season change you can instead search the current training location by buying 'Ran Ran' items that allow you to see the 'Earth's Light' at certain spots. The player controls the monster at these times, referred to as a 'venture' instead of an expedition or errantry as in other games. During a venture, the player can find single-use items, venture-only items with special effects such as boosting or lowering stats, adding traits, stressing or refreshing the monster, encounter battles, train skills, and acquire new skills.


After selecting the type of training (for example, trampoline in Morx Forest), rapidly press X. Your monster will perform the training process by itself, and most of the time will win if it is healthy.

The nice thing about actions is that it can do multiple builds in parallel for free and can also publish these now permanent builds which are again linked on pcsx2.net as GitHub requires you to have an account in addition to being logged in so you have enough options.


For those without an appropriate CD/DVD to disc swap to a speedrun viable monster, would it be acceptable (with the clock running throughout) to:- Start a game and generate a Mocchi/Zuum/Hare from the Encyclopedia. - Go to the ranch, save and then soft-reset to title, then use the Encyclopedia trade function from the title screen to add a monster to the main run's save file from a save with a completed Encyclopedia.- Freeze the first monster, then generate the traded monster.


You raise a good point Slam, but I thought I'd ask anyway as it's essentially doing the same as standard monster generation, but it takes longer and doesn't use a disc, and still doesn't let you use monsters you haven't unlocked (IE: Joker, Dragon etc).


Monster Rancher is set in a world where monsters exist alongside humans. Monsters were created by God in ancient times, following a disaster that struck the world prior to continental drift. However, the monsters caused problems for humanity, so God sealed them in "disc stones", small circular stone tablets containing their genomes, and entrusted humanity with them. However, as time passed, the disc stones became lost knowledge.


Eventually, archaeologists rediscovered a disc stone while excavating ancient ruins. They brought the disc stone to the Monsters' Temple, where the priests, using ancient summoning methods, summoned the monster in the disc stone back into existence. Monsters were reintroduced into nature and, for the most part, coexisted with humans. Eventually, monster owners and breeders began holding monster battles as a sport, which became popular worldwide, leading to official battle tournaments.


In the games, the player takes the role of a monster breeder whose goal is to raise monsters to fight in tournaments. The breeder must raise the monster throughout its life, training it, keeping it healthy, making an exercise schedule, and trying to maximize its abilities before it dies of old age or is retired. Monsters have good or bad morale depending on how they are raised; loyal monsters are more likely to listen to commands, while disloyal monsters might refuse to obey commands or not fight at all. Famous monsters are more likely to land critical hits. Retired monsters can be combined to create more powerful monsters.


In Monster Rancher, Monster Rancher 2, Monster Rancher 3, Monster Rancher 4, and Monster Rancher EVO, monsters can be generated by inserting any CD into the game system.[clarification needed] Monster Rancher 3, Monster Rancher 4, and Monster Rancher EVO can also use DVDs.


The characteristics of the monster (such as stats, breed and traits) are determined by various numbers stored in the game. To generate a monster, a random number generator is needed to define what characteristics the monster will have. Tecmo created a CD-reading system that would use the discs to generate random number seeds and, consequently, a large variety of random monsters. The values found in the discs' data are mapped to monster characteristics.


Some discs are designed to produce specific monsters, often thematically related to the disc in question. For instance, in Monster Rancher 4, the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets DVD (as well as the tie-in PlayStation 2 game) generates a unique owl monster, and in Monster Rancher 2 and Monster Rancher 4, Tecmo's Dead or Alive game creates a Pixie named Kasumi. Special CDs, called "pandora discs", can produce multiple monsters. Often, the Monster Rancher game CD itself is a pandora disc.


In Monster Rancher Advance and Monster Rancher Advance 2, the system generates random monsters by using character sequences rather than CDs, due to the limitations of the Game Boy Advance game cartridges. Certain combinations of characters will determine the monster's breed, sub-breed, stats, and traits. Codes found in-game can be used to generate rare monsters.


In Monster Farm Online, players select a monster species they have some knowledge of, with the basic purebreeds automatically available, then insert a disc to create their traits. This is so that players do not need to find a disc that is unique to one particular territory to get the rarest monsters.


In Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX, a modern remake of Monster Rancher 1 and 2, the disc system from the original games is replaced with a digital database of CDs, DVDs, music, and video games. Instead of inserting a disc, the player enters a query for Title, Artist, or both, and chooses from a list of media, from which the monster assigned to the selected media will be generated.[2] The monsters assigned to each media are the same across all copies; for example, selecting the album Trouble by Whitesnake always generates the "Swimmer" variant of the Mew monster, which can also be generated from other media.[2] 2ff7e9595c
