Monster Rancher 2 Combo Breaker 2024 Live Tournament

Monster Rancher 2 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.
DX ONLY: Important Expedition Info
MR2DX expeditions don't age you for the duration of the expedition and you receive 70 fatigue when you get back.
If you start an expedition with 0-Stress / 0-Fatigue, you will return to the ranch having aged 4 weeks but only lost 2 weeks of lifespan and be at 0 Stress / 70 fatigue.
  • Start expedition with 0-Stress/0-Fatigue wk1
  • Go on expedition
  • Return wk1 (with 70 fatigue) Feed monthly item + Feed Nuts Oil **
  • Freeze (with 42 fatigue)
  • Bring out Wk4 prior to next expedition/Save > Rest into Week 1
  • -- Repeat -
** This works during Stages 2 through 7 where Rest can reduce the 42 fatigue. After stage 7 you may have a slight amount of fatigue left over and may need to include another rest every 3rd expedition.

You effectively only lose 2 weeks of lifespan, while aging 4 weeks, compared to Battles aging 1 week and losing 3 weeks of lifespan. Expeditions can bring in 2x-4x more gold per lifespan hit than M4 tournament freezer method.

ALWAYS SAVE BEFORE EXPEDITION!

  • Finding specific Items is based on a mix of INT/SKI/Nature and IS NOT 100% guaranteed even with high stats!
  • Reset if you do not find what you are looking for and try again.
  • For fully datamined information, please see the "Detailed Tables".

Important Stats:

  • See explanations of Stats on expedition and other info.
    Fame, Class, Stats: These vary per each expedition and are explained in each expedition's section.

    Detailed Expedition Information Breakdown

    Expeditions in Monster Rancher 2 are a carry-over from MR1, wherein your monster goes on an adventure of sorts where it can discover useful items which are key to unlocking several monsters, or are in general not obtainable otherwise. Expeditions will always be initiated on the same month and week of a given year if your monster meets the requirements, and you can either choose to go or to decline. How effective your monster will be on the expedition is dependent only on their stats, and very slightly on their nature- breed has no effect other than ease of stat acquisition. Your monster must return to base camp to properly end the expedition.

    Your monsters stats affect Expedition in the following ways:

    Useful Information
    • If your inventory is full when you pick up an item on an Expedition, and you would prefer to throw away this new item, press Triangle (/\) to select it. This works in all "items full but new item acquired" situations as well.
    • Shortcuts remain open between Expeditions, even if the current monster lacks the INT.
    • You can only find Disc Chip variants of breeds you have already unlocked.
    • Every step taken costs 1 Energy, and each trip into a location costs 10 Energy.
    • Each attempt to get rid of an obstacle costs 5 Energy.
    • Expeditions give +72 fatigue at the end if finished normally, but no stress.
    • If you’re forced to end the expedition, the lifespan hit is -13 weeks!

    • Items which are listed in the maps below do not appear 100% of the time, as there’s also some random element in whether an item decides to show up. Just be aware that items your monster does not meet the Intelligence requirement for will never show up!

    Building Item Search and Replacement

    The same item can be found in a building more than once. There are some items that are "special" that cannot be found more than once in the game, though.

    Special Items:
    These special items will be replaced at the time of the duplicate special item being found:

    • "Old Sheath"
    • "Mask"
    • "Big Footstep"
    • "Fire Feather"
    • "Strong Glue"

    Disc Chips:
    The Disc Chips can only be found if the corresponding monster has been unlocked in the game.
    If the monster has not been unlocked, then the Disc Chips item will be replaced at the time of the locked Disc Chips item being found.

    Replacement items:
    Duplicate Special, or Locked items will be replaced randomly with one of following three items:

    1. Half-eaten
    2. Irritater
    3. Mint Leaf
    Note: Once a building has been entered, the items in that building will remain the same throughout the current expedition.
