Just beat the game!

13 Upvotes

Sorry for no screenshot, I didn't think to take one. Overall, I enjoyed the game, but lord, did Zosimos destroy me in the Abandoned Tower. After several failed attempts, I looked for some help and saw someone do well with a goblin team, so I built my own Goblin team and took him down (definitely don't sleep on them, they support each other really well), and just kept them on for the rest of the game, cleaning up the few champions I had left to fight, and fighting the Spectral Familiars.

Pandora's Box

3 Upvotes

I just wrapped up a Glowdra/Glowfly/Beetloid run. The team did pretty well in the legendary keeper battles, but if a monster died it was usually Beetloid toward the end.

The sample build guide has Beetloid equipping Pandora's Box. I don't understand why you'd want an accessory that gives a couple random buffs and 60 defense over a hide, which gives 65 defense and 700 health, especially since Beetloid typically runs a fishing rod and can quickly load up on buffs.

Does anyone have a good reason for why you'd use Pandora's Box over accessories like Hide or Crown?

Discussion Just finished my first run and...wow

So I just finished the main story for the first time and wow this game was it. Monster sanctuary scratched an itch I had for something that needed to be an rpg, monster tamer, turn based, and a whole lot more. The story and character building was solid enough to keep me interested. The world building was fantastic. I didn't hate exploring despite the fact im not a fan of metroidvania style games. The monsters are really cool with neat skill tree, and the light/dark system made it feel fresh. I really enjoyed collecting the monsters and training them up. And the music is phenominal. I found myself listening to it on repeat and never getting tired of it. Fantastic game 10/10

Already excited to do another run! Which btw replayability is already there with NG+ and its run customization. Great job team 17 and moi rai. I hope to see more in the future. Peep my team I had in the end

Question Specter 6stars

0 Upvotes

Could someone please give me a team to 6stars this thing?

I tried the recommended teams: Fungi+Fungi+Troll "PoisonStack" and Megataur+Caraglow+Brutus "One-Shot". They dont work. It resists all of them.

Im not good at team-building, so could someone tell me the correct shifts, skills, items and move order for this fight.

Thanks!

Showcase Mono-Rocky Run

71 Upvotes

I did a fresh game file run using just Rocky. I grinded three eggs at the start and then didn't use any other monsters for combat the rest of the game. Love died once in a keeper battle, so I used a backup rocky for one turn but otherwise it was just these three. Love buffed and healed, Archer built combo, and Ace did the damage. Lots of fun but battles definitely took longer - about 6 turns usually.

Team help (Bravery mode)

3 Upvotes

Replaying this lovely game on bravery mode and I have these monsters so far:

Terradrile

Beetleoid

Spectral eagle

Fungi

Vasuki

Draconoir

Ascendant

Vodinoy

Goblin pilot

Been using the first three in a shock type team but it's not going great.

Any recommendations on who I should focus on? Going to goblin forest now and I have picked up all available monsters so far

Discussion Replayability

17 Upvotes

Anyone else out there like me that after you reach Keeper Master and beat the legendary keepers, you start a new NG+ with your old save? I've got to be on like run number 15 ish. Even using the same settings, master diff, randomizer+relics and bravery. Never gets old. I've got like 5 different solid team comps of 6 I use. As soon as I get to tower, get my 7 bonus monsters and start building around one of my comps. My top 10? I like multi use monsters that can fit multiple roles Like Changeling so that guy is definitely high up there. For debuffs teams, I like Imori, Vasuki, G'rulu and shockhopper the most. For heroic party teams, I like Ascendant, Ninki Nanka, Vertraag and Raduga/Silvaero but maybe Bard. Honorable mention for Fungi+G'rulu+Rampede getting me into high 300's, close to 400 Infinity arena.

Bravery I love playing bravery mode + randomizer

This has been like my third playthrough doing this and it’s genuinely so fun and crazy putting together teams from the monsters they give you and it gives me an opportunity to utilize monsters I’ve never considered. I love my main team so much and I started with all of them except gryphonix and I never would’ve tried these types of comps if not for bravery mode.

I can’t do permadeath tho it makes me upset

Also funny how the final boss ended up being the dlc final boss


r/MonsterSanctuary • • Sep 14 '26

So. Do the pressure plates do anything? Do I need a special monster?

Bravery Catzerker Seed

17 Upvotes

Does anyone have a seed that'll start bravery mode with Catzerker (or the first egg)? Alternatively, is there a database of seeds?

I decided that I want to use a team focused around Catzerker for vibes, but I'd rather not have the unlimited flexibility to just pick the optimal team if that makes sense. Bonus points for not knowing the rest of who I'll get so it'll sort of feel like a normal bravery run. Thanks!

Question Hello!

16 Upvotes

I came across this subreddit while checking out r/explainlikeimfive and r/Palworld somehow, so I wanted to ask what kind of creature collector game is this?

Does it have...
1.) Breeding?
2.) Randomly generated map?
3.) Adjustable Difficulty? (I suck at games. Hardest one I did was probably Remnant:FTA)
4.) How good are the creatures? Are the initial ones replaceable because they can't keep up?
5.) Do they evolve?
6.) Do we make bases?

Sorry for the questions, but I am really interested and rather than check a youtuber who probably played a few minutes to a few hours, I'd rather check and ask the experienced ones here.

Edit: I forgot to reply, but I finished the whole Demo on steam! The last boss which was the one on the mushroom caves (blue colored map part) hits like a brick and one-shots anyone that isn't my healer rock looking healer!

It was fun tossing phoenix tears XD. Fun game, would grab it when I get the chance on a sale. Salary didn't come this month yet.

How do you 5 star champions without debuffs?

Post image
11 Upvotes

Started a new save recently after beating the game a few years ago, and since my last playthrough’s team was all debuff based, I wanted to try a run with a different strategy, which right now is shaping up to be a crit/buff based one. But now I’m ~6 champions in, and I can’t 5 star any of them. The only guide I was able to find just suggested a debuff team, so I was wondering what other methods are out there.

Question What's this about?

Post image
11 Upvotes

There's what seems like a pressure plate judging by my interactions with it, but when I do, the wall vanishes. I've tried using Rocky to see if that'll work, but it doesn't affect the wall in any way. I've tried using Minitaur, Catzerker, Wolf, Yowie, Vasuki, Ucan, Brawlish, Goblin Miner, Salahammer, and Asura on the wall, but nothing happened. Does anyone know what this is?
