Monster Farm 2

When you enter the codes for the game, turn off the GameShark when you start a battle, or it will freeze at the end. Just save the game.

Go with Dr. Talico a second time to the volcano. Take the 1st right and then follow a trail until you reach a large building with stairs. Search until you find a mask. Now combine with any monster to get a Joker.

Go to the jungle expedition and get at least one Golden Peach (two is recommended), then go to the shrine. Put in the Monster Rancher 1 disc to get a Sueki Suezo that has amazing stats, but only lives for one week. Give the Golden Peach(es) to him. This will increase his life span three to five years per Golden Peach. Work on his speed and it will be easy to advance through the classes and complete the big four tournaments with ease and earn money.

After you complete the Major Four and the Legends Cup, go to the Mandy Errantry. Complete the Errantry you will not fight the monster you chose. However, your monster will return with a spear. Your monster will then go crazy and fight a monster that is a bird from the waist up and horse from the waist down. After the battle is over, go to the town and combine two monsters and use the spear as your secret item.

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.

Note: This requires the Japanese version of the game. Combine a Gaboo and a Jell Hare. Freeze them both and use a Black DNA Capsule. You will get a ForwardGolem, or a football player.

Increase your fame up to 100 and defeat the major 4.

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.

If you get a Suezo/Hare, every time that it goes to a training it will learn a new move, unless you have already mastered all the moves from that training area.

This trick requires Monster Rancher and Monster Rancher 2. First save the monster to be duplicated in Monster Rancher. Switch to Monster Rancher 2, go to the shrine, and select "Slate". Choose the monster you want to revive. Keep going to the shrine until you have enough.

On the first expedition to Kawrea Volcano with Dr. Talico, if your monster is intelligent enough it will find a Phoenix Feather there. You can also find it in the Phoenix Statue during your second expedition there. Use it when combining to get a Phoenix.

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)

These monsters are usually tough to raise but they can be good if you raise them correctly.


Hopper (any type)
Zuum (with complicated subtype, like dragon)
Pixie (any type, but you really have to raise it well if you want it to be good)
Dragon (any type)
Wracky (any type)
Barjarl (any type)
Gali (any type)
Color Pandora (any type)
Mock (can be really good if you raise it the right way)
Metalner (can be very good)
Phoenix (get it to listen to you and it is not as difficult as others)
Mew (slightly tough to raise sometimes)

To succeed in the game you will need to make your monster live long. To do this is quite easy. First, select the monster you want and take them to the ranch. Select a monster which has a long life span or a monster that has a sub breed which has a long life span, such a Pixie/Plant etc. When trying to make your monster live long, stress is the key. The lower the stress, the longer your monster lives. Use this method for monsters to live long -- up to about 8 years old. Note: LD = Light Drill, HD = Hard Drill, ML = Mint Leaf, NO = Nuts Oil, -- = Anything.

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)

Hold Start + Select until the game returns to the opening screen.
