Monster Rancher 3 Saucer Stone FAQ ver 1.5 For Sony Playstation 2 Uncopywrited work of JadeKnight e-mail: shellsjade@cs.com ======================================================================= This FAQ is not yours.

Version History ======================================================================= 1. Introduction ======================================================================= For those of you who have never played Monster Rancher before, allow me to tell you about it. You take the role of a Monster Breeder, who's sole purpose is to become the champion breeder. Sounds simple, eh? It's far from. Tecmo came up with one of the most novel ideas in gaming history, instead of catching monsters...you create them. Using music CDs, game CDs and now DVDs, you create your own monsters to raise and battle with. The game prompts you for a disc, it then reads the info from the disc and somehow makes a monster for you. Don't ask me how it works, all I know is that it does work, and it's great fun. What I'm going to try to do here is come up with a comprehensive list of monsters you can get in Monster Rancher 3. All of the monsters I list are from actual CDs, and not the in game Saucer Stone fragments. I'm going to need some help, so if you have some that you don't see on my list, e-mail me and I'll add it to the list, along with your name in the contributor credits. Deal? Cool. Let's get started. One note however, if you don't see a monster in this FAQ or know someone who has it, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET IT. Do NOT email me asking how to get a certain monster. If it's not here, I DON'T KNOW. Understood? Also, if the CD/Game/DVD is already listed here, don't send me the info again, it just makes it harder to update. ======================================================================= 2a.

Great info here- "Found out what the DOA2 disc makes. Izuna Zan/? Rare breed To get Zan you have to be B rank while training in Brilla. Taya will tell you about about a strange monster with weird acessories that attacked her. When you meet it you find out after a few fights that it belongs to none other than Gadamon. It was altered by special acessories. After you find out about the acessories, after the third fight, you'll be attacked by the creater of them. He'll have a pure breed Zan, called Zan Altered. After you beat him he'll come back the next week and tell you about how he got the monster and give you an item to unlock them in the shrine. Now they're available from cds. Izuna is easily one of the coolest looking monsters I've seen. And from what I can tell it's STRONG! It is tied for the best looking in the game with Fenril. In my opinion anywayz." More great info from guy_daigoji@hotmail.com: "Monster Rancher Battle Card Episode 2 gives you: Magi - Joker/? rare breed To get a Joker train in Goat till Kai comes by and tells you about a tournament, he'll give you an item and tell you to be at the arena at night in November. Jenna will come the week after and tell you she hasn't heard of a tourney at night, and that it sounds suspicious. Go to Morx and the next week Mosha will come to talk to you about and experience from when she was younger. Go back to Goat and wait till the second of November, then go to the tourney. I won't say anything about what will happen when you show up, just that the next sequence will lead to a fight that will get you a Joker if you win. DO NOT LOSE!!!! Trust me! Magi looks really, REALLY, weird. I probably won't even train one. " Side note- I finished this quest and didn't receive a Joker, I just got the stone to take to the shrine. I used Ice-T and got a Joker, purebreed. ======================================================================= 2c. DVD Monsters ======================================================================= You guessed it, DVD name, monster name...see a pattern? Apparently, the monsters you get from DVDs differ. Thanks to dracokat@pacbell.net (Daniel Nichols) for the info. Maybe it has something to do with the region of the DVD?

Tips and Suggestions on Breeding ======================================================================= There is a Japanese promo soundtrack for Monster Rancher 3 that extracts monsters based on the breeders level. If you have this disc, when you scan it, it's called "Pandora's Disc". I got mine from Gamestop, so if you can get one, I highly recommend it. Apparently the Pandora disc produces different monsters every time you use it. I will of course add the monsters as I reach the higher ranks. Rank Monster E Mocchi w/Rice Bowl D C B A Masala S Speed is one of the key attributes for your monster. If you can birth a monster with a speed of 150+, KEEP IT! You will be able to attack 2-3 times for each one of your opponents attacks. You can always "Raise" your monster for STR and DEF, but SPD is a winner. During the "Venture", always get the Extract. Yes, it's expensive, but you can find stones and Succulent Flowers that allow you to gain new skills, and boost your attributes, respectively. Once you find the "Lord" of your training area, use the stones to gain new skills. Skills are just new attacks you can use in battle, and once gained, they will prove invaluable. "Guts" is similar to Mana or AP in other games. It dictates how and when your monster can attack. I recommend not attacking until your guts are full, then unleash everything you have on your opponent. Many moves have the bonus of taking guts away from your enemy, which in turn takes their moves away. Also, if you can take advantage of your opponents attack range, you can almost win every fight without taking any damage. ======================================================================= 4.
