One-Chance Monsters: When & Where (List)

[Neverender]

Since there isn't really a definitive list of the one-chance monsters, I thought I'd post one. The one-chance monster names are bolded. I tried not to include any spoilers in the guide, but there still are a few, so be warned.

I believe that the monsters are added to your encyclopedia when you kill them, so be sure to KILL, not just ENCOUNTER each of these.

This guide will help get the following achievement:

Completed Monster Record (25 )
Fill up the Monster Record by defeating every monster.

DISC ONE

Ancient Hospital Ruins
1. Kill the Icefire Wolf Ghost before it splits up, otherwise it will not be added. If it does split before you kill it, reload a previous save and try again. (Thanks to Walvis NL for noticing this)

Destroyed Talta Village
1. Monstery Party: Skeleton Captain (Thanks to FantasticMrCox for noticing this)

Flying Fortress (near end of disc)
1. Monster Parties: Hover Patroller, Double Axe,
2. Make sure you kill at least one Machine Gun Crab. They're not an individual monster party, but I'm pretty sure there's some in the Double Axe party.
3. Continue to fight Flying Mecha Robo monster parties until you kill at least one Winking Medic and one Tailgunner Robo-Scorpion.

DISC TWO

Paches Town Underground
1. When you get to the Scything Skull Spider (boss), allow him to summon a Skeleton General, and kill it.

Nene's Fortress (near end of disc)
1. Monster Parties: Glowering Imp Trap, Steel-Crusher Leopard, Ninja Ghost, Balloon Bomber, Imposter Eye*, Horned-Viper Trident, Stone Giant, Patchwork Puppet, Red-Mask Robot, Wandering Prophet, Versatile Mecha Robo, Enforcer Robot, Standard Defender, Assassin Robot
2. Allow a Versatile Mecha Robo to summon Intercept Dynadrones, and kill at least one of them
3. At the final boss in Nene's Tower (end of 5th floor), kill one of the Servant Mecha Robo A's and one of the Servant Mecha Robo B's.

*= I know it's misspelled, but that's the way it's spelled in the game.

DISC THREE

Southern Lal Mts.
1. Allow the Rockwind Wolf Ghost (boss) to split into the Gale Wolf Ghost and Stone Wolf Ghost before you kill it.

Primitive Cube
1. Find a Wandering Sage**. Allow it to summon a Cursed Spine Ghost and a Sanguine Slasher, and then kill the summoned monster AND the Wandering Sage***.

**= The Wandering Sage is called Wiseman is some versions of the game.
***= If you open the treasure chest the Wandering Sage was guarding, it will disappear and not come back.




When you're at the point of no return****, you should have all the missable monsters. From there, use this guide (by loc182 from GameFAQs) to hunt down any remaining monsters to get the achievement.

****= (Possible Spoilers)

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

The Point of No Return is after you kill Ultimate Szabo in the Cauldron Chamber. From there, hit the warp device and warp go back and finish up the achievement. The final boss doesn't count towards this achievement; Ultimate Szabo is the last monster that does.

I'm pretty sure that's all of them, but if you think I missed one or have any questions, please be sure to say so or ask!

Excelent post Nevender.

If I had this topic I shouldn't had killed that Wandering Sage without defeating the other two monsters.

This topic must be placed on the guide.

Thanks for breaking it down like this very helpful

[xFortyseven]

Awesome work Neverender. This should be stickied and linked to in the guide.

[Manic Ado]

Thank you very much ^^

[Walvis NL]

i wanna add something to disc 1 in the ancient hospital ruins make sure the icefire wolf ghost DOESN'T split up! if he does you won't have him in your monster record!

[ajkiller125]

i didnt know they could split and i would have tought you could otherwise you wouldnt be able to get the gale/earth wolf later on

also nice information wish i had this wen i was going for all the monsters would have saved alot of time

[Walvis NL]

yes for some reason the icefire wolf ghost doesn't 'save' when it splits up and the other 1 does

[Wolfgg]

isnt their a 60 min count down clock in nene's fortress, I am bewildered over how I can nail all these missables and still meet the time, maybe im just worrying unneccessarily but can anyone shed some light, cause I evidently missed a bunch on my first playthru according to data in newgame +

[FantasticMrCox]

You will be fine getting them fella, as long as your smart you will be able to get them done. Besides if your on a +1 you should be quite high levels?

[Neverender]

Added the Icefire Wolf Ghost to the first post.

And don't worry about the time limit. It's harder to not get to the top in time than it is to go over the limit, even when you are fighting all of the monsters.

[Firemac]

Good thing I did kill the Icefire wolf ghost before it split.

[FantasticMrCox]

You just made me have a mild heart attack with this icefire wolf ghost.. Thankfully i killed it before the spilt it seems... Please don't do that again, ha ha ha

[Wolfgg]

yea, you guys were right, the thing with the 60 mins is the clock pauses during fights and boss battles, i think I had 20 minutes to spare after I got every monster I needed and finished the last fight. thanks for help

[FantasticMrCox]

Glad to hear you got though it ok fella, anyone else reading this post there's no need to really worry about the time limit on this stage.

[Neverender]

Updated the first post. It now has a list you can use to cross-reference what you have done in your monster encyclopedia to the full thing, as well as information on The Point of No Return.

[R4ndom Gren4de]

I can't find a Glacier Turtle. Does anybody know where they are found?

[Neverender]

This guide (by loc182 from Gamefaqs) says they should be in the Giant Snow Fields and appear as their own monster party.

[Dragonz4Eva]

Roughly when do you come across the Destroyed Talta Village?, I'm in Lago Village right now, I want to get as much as I can on my first playthrough.

[Starlight126]

Lago Village (first time) > Undersea Caverns > Forest of the Dead > Lago Village (second time) > Gul Mountains > Talta Village

There are some World Map areas between some of these, but that's about it.

I can't say for sure that this will or will not help. However, I found a guide, and a narrowed down the monsters that only i missed. Here is the full list (link to original guide).
