Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher Unlocking Guide

This guide contains all of the Kaiju that require special conditions to unlock them so they can be raised or created at the Altar with Keywords (NA/SA version) or Song List (Southeast Asia & Japanese version)
Kaiju Availability
This guide will explain how to acquire all of the hidden Kaiju, but you have about half of the available roster of Kaiju accessible to you from the beginning.

The following main-breeds are unlocked from the start / New Game:

DLC Unlocks
DLC Notes

If you purchased the DLC:

  • All 4 DLC can be acquired with the DLC that includes Sevenger Giant of Light + Science Party Mocchi

If you did not purchase the DLC:

  • 3 of the 4 DLC Kaiju can be obtained without purchasing the DLC through the use of (probably a coding error?) Fusion mechanics to generate them and place them in your Field Guide for future use.

Explanation:

  • None of the DLC Kaiju are actually DLC. All of them are baked directly into the game already. Purchasing the DLC simply sets a flag in game to allow them to be usable from the Field Guide and in Fusion combinations.
  • None of the DLC Kaiju have Keywords or Songs that can produce them.
  • There are 4 Kaiju in the game that cannot be generated through the Song List or Keywords. They can only be generated from the field guide.
  • Two of these are "DLC": Science Party Mocchi & Sevenger Giant of Light Skin.
  • Two additional "DLC" Kaiju, Shooting Star Suezo & Windom Giant of Light Skin, can be created from the purchased DLC Kaiju. They are still classified as "DLC" since they can only be generated by using the first two DLC Kaiju in fusion, or the field guide after they're unlocked. Like the purchased DLC, they also cannot be generated with Keywords or the Song List.
Assumptions on how DLC Unlocking (without purchasing) works:
Knowns:
  • Rare and DLC kaiju are counted separately (they're not both simply "rares")
  • Rare Kaiju allow unlocks of other rare Kaiju in Fusion.
  • DLC Kaiju allow unlocks of other DLC Kaiju in Fusion.
Assumptions:
  • Sevenger GOL DLC result is hard coded to be removed from the result table (unless DLC is purchased, then this flag is disabled).
  • Science Party Mocchi, being DLC, shouldn't be acquirable with the confirmed method to unlock it without the DLC -- This is most likely a programming error -- and probably should have behaved similar to Sevenger GOL.
  • Because SPM can be fudged, this does allow the SSS and WGOL unlocks, but SGOL still gets wiped from the result table due to the first assumption.

Unlock Science Party Mocchi

Science Party mocchi

Science Party mocchi is a purchased DLC:
  • This is a DLC rare Kaiju and can be purchased as a bundle, along with Sevenger Giant of Light Skin.
If you have not purchased the DLC do the following:
  1. Complete the Mocchi unlock requirements.
  2. Combine a Non-Rare Mocchi and a Non-Rare Suezo along with Mystic Chips for a chance to get Science Party Mocchi as a result from fusion.
For Non-DLC Owners, You must unlock Science Party Mocchi first in this manner, before you will be able to perform the fusions for Shooting Star Suezo and Windom Giant of Light.

Unlock Sevenger Giant of Light Skin

Sevenger Giant of Light Skin

  • This is a DLC rare Kaiju and can be purchased as a bundle with Science Party mocchi.
Currently, this is the only Kaiju of the 4 "DLC Kaiju that requires the purchase of the DLC. You can still get this Kaiju from fusions, but only if the DLC is already purchased.
