Still missing a few more tournaments in the list

Monster Rancher Metropolis: Monster Rancher DS Archive (DS): Monster Rancher DS: General QA: Still missing a few more tournaments in the list
By Zekira G. Drake on Saturday, September 11, 2010 - 07:17 am:

I thought that these myriad of missing tournaments are just the Battle Royale ones, but when I looked again, there seemed to be around 10 (? didn't really count) more that I am missing.

Aside from the default tournaments, the Heavenly Kings tourneys, Rising Dragon, Icicle Festival, and Battle Royal, what else am I missing and how do I get them?


By Thorr on Sunday, September 12, 2010 - 07:10 am:

I imagine you don't have the Greatest 4 on your list either.

But truthfully, there is no good way for us to know what you are missing. I have a full tourney list, but it's in Japanese...


By Zekira G. Drake on Sunday, September 12, 2010 - 08:23 am:

Well that's a bummer, but it seems that the tourneys are listed monthly, so I can least isolate which months are lacking. Would that help?


By Thorr on Sunday, September 12, 2010 - 09:05 am:

They are also in order by Rank.


By Zekira G. Drake on Sunday, September 12, 2010 - 06:04 pm:

Okay let's see...

-1 between Abyss Battle Royal (1-3) and Desert Moon Cup (2-1)
-1 between Mew Battle Royal (2-2) and Aurora Cup (2-3)
-1 between Spring Thunder Cup (4-2) and Flower Cup (4-3)
-1 between Mocchi Battle Royal (4-4) and Rookie Cup (5-1)
-1 between Strongman Cup (5-2) and Wild Cup (5-3)
-2 between Lesione Battle Royal (7-3) and The Banana Ring (8-3)
-1 between Naga Coliseum (9-1) and Twister Cup (9-3)
-1 between Crux Cup (10-2) and Citizens' Day Memorial (10-3)
-1 between Master Cup (10-4) and Elixir Memorial (11-1)
-1 after 4 Seasons Cup (12-4), listed just before Official Grade E Cup

That's a total of 11 tournaments.

Quite a few of those battles only appear after unlocking certain monsters, so might be a good idea to work on them first.


By Thorr on Monday, September 13, 2010 - 08:10 am:

It looks like all the tournaments you are missing are the rank SS tournaments. This includes holly's big 4, the 4 heavenly kings, Big Bang, and several Battle Royal tourneys.


By Thorr on Monday, September 13, 2010 - 08:22 am:

1) Greatest 4, 1-3
2) Hengar Battle Royal, 2-4
3) Joker Battle Royal, 4-3
4) Last Battle, 4-4
5) Beaclon Battle Royal, 5-3
6) B-1, 7-4
7) Durahan Battle Royal, 8-1
8) Phoenix Battle Royal, 9-2
9) Zan Battle Royal, 10-2
10) Winners Cup, 10-4
11) Legend Cup, 12-4


By Zekira G. Drake on Monday, September 13, 2010 - 08:08 pm:

Oh wow in short, I just have to unlock all breeds
and get the big 4?

...that's true, I only have 6 more breeds that I
need to unlock... I was under the impression that
the locked breeds' Battle Royal was already present,
guess I was wrong lol.


By Thorr on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - 06:05 am:

Holly's big 4 can only be unlocked by using the specific breed for each of the 4 tournaments. Each one requires a specific monster.

"So what's the 'B' in B-1 anyway?"

"...Baku, I guess?"

"...really?"

Sorry, I laughed. What the heck, Holly.


By Zekira G. Drake on Friday, September 17, 2010 - 11:44 pm:

So I battled on B-1 right now... encountered monsters that were named Kamine, Ciara, Zeelandia, Luvles, and Holly's Tiger named Tiger.

While fighting I couldn't get that feeling out that this is all just too familiar. So I searched out some answers in the archives here...

...and I was like 'oh my' when I noticed it! Kamine = Carmine, Ciara = Siarra, Zeelandia = Zelandia, Luvles = Loveless, which are all Major 4 monsters from Monster Rancher 2! Holly's Tiger that is named Tiger, is a parody of the default name that you can give the monsters you regenerate in Monster Rancher 1.

I... what?!


By Thorr on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 01:06 pm:

Yeah. We knew that too.

The Legend Cup actually has a fair amount of the best monsters from old MR games.
