Monster Rancher 3

Hint: Skip animations:
After selecting the type of training (for example, trampoline in Morx Forest), rapidly press X to skip the animations for the drill. . It does nothing to the success or failure of the monster.

Hint: Control preview screen:
At the menu starting with "Training", press Square. Go to the encyclopedia, and choose a random monster. At the information page of the selected monster, press Square and the monster's image will go to the center of the screen. Everything else will disappear. Pressing Square, Circle, X, R1, and R2 will make the monster do some random action. For example, pressing Circle will make the monster act mad. Moving the Left or Right Analog-stick Right will make the monster thicker, and Left will make it thinner.

Hint: Zan secret monster:
First, you will need a relatively very strong monster -- power, health, and defense vs. magic and physical attacks helps. Train your monster in the Snowy Mountain training area for an extended period of time. After awhile, rivals will begin to say that there has been an odd monster attacking them. Continue to play and you will fight various monster types and eventually figure out Gatoman is attacking. Once this is learned, she will attack once again with various monsters (over an extended period of time). Win these battles, and every time she will say she has to modify her monster. During the final time she will say that a man is making accessories for her. Continue to train and this man will show up, looking much like a scientist -- until his face gets weird and he appears to be psychotic. He will attack you with a black monster that has scythe-like appendages out of its back and two black and red accessories. After you defeat him, you will talk to him and he will give you the accessories after the monster dies. At the end of it all, the scientist will give you a black disk that is imprinted in the center. Bring this to the shrine and the man who revives the monsters will examine the disk and conduct studies. After this point you will be able to revive the new monster type Zan from your disks. He is usually on the disks that say "This is too dangerous" or "I don't know what this is". On a final note, you can get a secret Zan from the Dead Or Alive 2: Hardcore and Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins discs called Izuna.

Hint: Defeating Joker:
When Kai challenges you to the battle where you fight the Joker, have a monster with the Fast Footwork ability (such as a Hare or someone who just happens to have it). If you manage to get a few hits off and remain unscratched, it still counts as winning. You can now train Jokers. Save the game before you attempt this, so if you lose the fight your monster will not be cut down to only half life and you can repeat as long as desired.

Hint: Save stats:
Andrew Menard.

1. Save before you start.
2. Raise your monster as much as you can before it gets lazy.
3. Save the stats of that monster (just the stats).
4. Load the save all the way at the beggining, and load the stats you had saved.
5. Make your monster stronger and save.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until you get the desired stats.

1. Grampa Bragman will have to do research on the monster before you can get it.

Hint: Lords:

Morx (forest): Press and perhaps hold R1 to use the overhead cam (or you can skip the overhead if desired). Go outside in front of the tree with the broken tree stump. Go to the left of the trunk until you see a yellow and orange flower. Search it and you will be taken to the lord of Morx.

Kalaragi (jungle): Go to the right lily pad. There is a search spot next to the big water flower on the pad. The lord will appear on some random platform.

Takrama (desert): Walk across the water to where your monster goes when you let it rest. Search the spot, and your monster will fly up to the top. The lord(s) will be up there.

Goat (beach): While the text about the light is going, look to the left of the screen until you see a hole with a big square-like block, smaller rocks on the free sides, and bubbles coming out of it. Go to the rock with sea weed on it and search it. Your monster will fall in, then fly up on to the big rock. The lord will follow after your monster.

Brillia (tundra/ice place): Go up the right ramp. Use the overhead cam to make this easier. Stay near the inside edge until the bottom says that you can go to the other side. Go up to the tree until you can search it. Your monster will jump down and the lord will be there. After you visit him and get back up to the tree, go to the bursting piece of ice to go back down to the starting area
