Monster Rancher Expedition Maps

Expeditions are key for unlocking several monsters, hold special items to feed to your monster, or to use in combining, and can be a great source of income as well. This guide will detail out the expedition paths, obstacles and requirements to traverse each area, along with which locations have what items.

Expedition Requirements: C+ Grade, 40+ Fame
Must participate in Titus expedition to unlock Hartville and Reno expeditions.

Important stats:

  • INT (Removes INT based obstacles; Factors into finding items; Lowers chance of getting LOST)
  • SKI (Removes SKI based obstacles)
  • POW (Removes POW based obstacles)
Obstacles are permanently removed from future visits even with different monsters. If you have low INT but hight POW, consider just clearing the obstacles for a future monster.
ALWAYS SAVE BEFORE EXPEDITION! Finding Items can be random even with high stats. Reset if you do not find what you are looking for and try again.

Suggested Minimums: INT is the highest priority stat. What INT does for your monster:

  • Lowers your risk of getting lost (though never eliminates it).
  • Raises your chances to find important items while searching the ruins.
  • From Easiest to Hardest: Torles < Hartville < Reno

    Reno Ruins Expedition Map

  • Date: October Week 2
  • Recommended INT: 600 to 700+.
  • Find the Gold Peaches (+50 weeks) to extend a Monster's Life. (A monster can only find 1 Gold Peach in their life).
  • Find the Henger parts (arms & legs) and a special location used towards the Henger unlock!
  • See Unlock Everything guide for Henger specifics such as trainer/monster requirements, dates, prerequisites etc.

    MYTH Alert:
    There are many misconceptions about how often the Gold Peach can be found, or how many such as "can only find 1 every 10 years".

    The Gold Peach is not time gated, however, Any single monster can only find 1 Gold Peach in it's lifetime, after which, an internal flag is set that prevents it from appearing on future loot results for that monster. But you could, for example, use 3 different monsters that have never found one on consecutive years and find one every year. Also, any single monster can be fed multiple Gold Peaches.
