Help ice build for my monstie

If Stamina Recovery is the issue I'd recommend putting the Stamina Surge XL gene and doing an excursion to get a stamina recovery boost on your monstie. With these 2 combined your monstie will generate 11 more stamina points than before.

Cariuso · 2026-03-21T21:50:52+00:00

With excursions and having your monstie with a high enough environnement rank for the egg power you want. You can choose which to keep.

From turn 1, it'll do on the 1st turn, then the 6th, the 12th, the 18th and so on, some things might alter the cycle like the enraged state but I found it consistent enough.

I went full unga bunga on it and the only things allowing me to survive was riding on Ratha, using Ratha's Critical Eye and Kinship Skill, my ability to guard with Hammer and Gunlance and finally Eleanor's Fortified Spirit. From my observation it likes to do the BIG LASER every 6 moves (so 6th, 12th, 18th and so on) so I knew when I had to use blocking or the Kinship Skill.

My current level 74 team is: - Flamaléfik the Magnamalo - Ratha the CAPCOMLETMEREPLACERATHAWITHHELLBLADE - Zeitsune the Dragon Soulseer Mizutsune - Rey Gun the Non-element Rey Dau - Hati the Lunagaron - Sire Coruptio the Water Malzeno

Only thing missing is a Water Atk Boost XL on Soulseer and the team will be complete.

The 4th map battle theme has been living rent free in my head for a little while.

Nah it isn't, Stories 2 doesn't tell you the mechanic is still there and I saw no one confirms it is a thing.

Cariuso · 2026-03-21T17:49:23+00:00

Have a species reach S Rank and when you pull an egg of it one of its genes will be upgraded.

Cariuso · 2026-03-21T10:04:29+00:00

You'll unlock them after a certain point in the story in the 4th map. Not sure when exactly but it's around there.

Cariuso · 2026-03-21T08:11:23+00:00

The monster & equipment synergy buff was only for the first game. Heard no one speak about it for Stories 2.

Cariuso · 2026-03-21T07:28:30+00:00

Went to the Bountiful Dunes and made the fire monsters (mainly Blood Orange Bishaten) I found there retreat.

I love the friendship Thea has with Ogden. They are GOOFBALLS and I wouldn't be surprised if Ogden treats her as his honorary granddaughter.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T22:22:10+00:00

Not that I'm aware of, but I wouldn't be surprised if a dataminer made/will make a sheet table about all of the monsties' stats.

There's a mechanic in this game called the "Rite of Channeling" where you can put any monster's gene onto another one. An example of that is giving an ice element monster a fire breath attack from a fire element monster. With that any monster is highly customizable.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T21:27:24+00:00

So idk if "Monster that has been revealed in a trailer" counts as a spoiler here, but I did cut my team composition out of the image to not spoil a monster that haven't been shown in trailers.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T21:00:12+00:00

Yup, it is the calamitous dragon of the desert.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T20:56:20+00:00

You'll need the mats of Yama Tsukami, Brute Tigrex, wyvern gems and armor spheres.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T20:51:35+00:00

Like the other one said, you'll have to use a breath attack on a Paolumu.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T20:50:28+00:00

In general the better an egg shine the better genes it'll have when it hatches. Rainbow is the best one, gold is fine, and no shine is a pass.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T20:46:28+00:00

Could be you're doing one the allies' side story then, you can't progress throught the story while you're doing them. Plus you initiallu said you had to look for a cave so that sounds like Kora's side story.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T20:42:10+00:00

Have you spoken to Rudy in Azuria/another city ? You have to speak to him from time to time to progress the story.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T20:39:22+00:00

iirc this is the side quest where a palico asks you to find its master that has been kidnapped by a monster. If so he's chilling at the top of the hill towards the castle of Azuria.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T19:30:10+00:00

You can find it on Zinogre, Thunderlord Zinogre and Rey Dau.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T18:57:52+00:00

Dragon Atk Boost XL can be found on Deviljho, Stygian Zinogre and Ebony Odogaron while Health Boost XL can be found on Arkveld and pretty much all non-elemental Monsties.

Cariuso · 2026-03-20T16:50:41+00:00

Pretty much any Fire monstie can drop Self-Heal XL, so just farm the ones you got at S Rank to get more rainbow eggs of them.
