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.

Titus Temple (Jan wk2) Hartville Ruins (Jul wk2) Reno Ruins (Oct wk2) Expedition Monster Picks

Expedition Basics

General Info:

There is a Success/Fail check to get to the expedition. If your monster succeeds you will have 14 days to search. If it fails you will have 10 days to search.
You can wander or search as much as you want until the days run out or your monster becomes lost. You do not need to return to the starting point.
If your monster's loyalty is low, your monster may ignore instructions at crossroads and go a different way.

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

Expeditions from Easiest to Hardest: Titus < Hartville < Reno

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.

Lost Durations
INT	Duration
1-200	6 wks
201-400	5 wks
401-600	4 wks
601-800	3 wks
801-999	2 wks

Suggested Minimums:
INT is the highest priority stat because it:

Lowers your risk of getting lost (though never eliminates it).
Lowers the duration of being lost if you get lost.
Raises your chances to find important items while searching the ruins.

Expedition Monster Suggestions

You must consider what you need to do in Expeditions. Are you looking for an all in 1 monster to clear all obstacles and also be able to search? Have you already cleared all obstacles and just need the fasted INT gains possible? Your needs will determine which is best, but all of the below monsters will be decent picks.

Green Picks: Choose Omen or Allure since they have good POW and SKI gains for obstacles paired with A INT Gains.
Yellow Picks: Good Guy, Titan, Woody, and Cross Eye are decently above average across the board in the required stats, with decent seriousness.
Orange Picks: Choose Dean, Jupiter For high Seriousness (low hassle) paired with A INT Gains.
The Rest: these are the remaining monsters with A gains in INT that exclude late bloom types.

Plenty of other monsters are just fine for expedition. The above list filters for all monsters with A gains for INT, (plus a few B INT Gain picks) and excludes Late Bloom types (faster raise to Prime life stages).
This list is meant to help you choose in the event of decision paralysis.

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.
