Im too compelled to have all the field skill bases covered. Nothing isnore annoying than not being able to grab a chest in the depths of an everden. So unfortunately I cant shoehorn narga into any party line up. Wich sucks becausenarga is awesome.
Important note about changing the element of monsties: it doesn’t really work properly as in the monstie will lose its new element and revert back to the old one by leveling up a few times aswell certain kinship attacks not actually having the new element. Reason being at least it’s speculated the devs said they didn’t intend to have this feature anymore in stories but it seems some of the code that’s still from stories 1 wasn’t removed properly so now we have a buggy elemental change feature. Just as a little fyi
I appreciate the tip. I got the Tigrex and Zinogre at level 15 and 16. The tops work. Just double team, use kinship and the other tips he has provided. So now I have both royal monsters, Ratha, another Rathian in my party
Zinogre was increadible easy to defeat gamoth on the other hand still destroys me so dumb I have not used zinogre since I got him like 10 hours ago I just have better monsties aka tigrex
I just realized I can take advantage of the Ice Weakness cause my character she's wearing Lv. 2 Legiana Armor, has a Legiana Sword and Shield known as the Glacial Edge, and currently trying to farm Legiana parts to make the Glacial Shot Bow and get that upgraded along with the armor, and the Glacial Edge upgraded to max, along with currently farming for XP to level up my team including my Legiana Yumi who currently knows Ice Spear via the Rite of Channeling, and from natural level-ups Vengeful Ice Tail, and Cold Blast but she will learn the Power-Type Ice attack Freezing Burst at Lv. 25.
Thanks for mentioning that the save reloading works on the cave. I was constantly fighting him again and again to try and get a better egg. Even with the save reloading though Zinogre was so stingy with giving me a "rainbow glow" egg.
I keep killing it before I can break the final part I will give up first time seeing it now I want one I'm level 21 putting in work thanks for the video
I just fought this guy a few minutes ago. Harrowing battle, but I managed to defeat him decisively, and I actually managed to make him retreat on the very first battle. Suuuuper happy to have this beast. Now I just need another chance to actually cheese Gammoth…
One good tip for fighting Gammoth is use Blunt Weapons as most of it's parts are weak against Blunt Weapons but yeah I was forced to run away from her when she one-shotted my Tigrex Terra with one base attack that did massive damage.
@@derrickhaggard Right right. But as a note, Gammoth only uses power attacks. Make sure your Tigrex has a speed move to order it to use, and have a back up speed monstie if things get hairy, then just keep Speed Doubling him. When he snow clads, pay attention. If there is no Head-To-Head line, Ride On to live the incoming Snow Stomp. Rinse-Repeat until Gammoth falls.
Zinogre is one of the easiest royal monsties to beat although I recommend being at least level 23 and you'll have no problem beating it with the monsties you have and if you want recommendations, I used: pukei pukei for technical, royal ludroth for power and tigrex for speed. If you don't have a royal ludroth with good genes then I say go with monoblos or any power monstie that has ice attacks to boost up retreat when you hit it with a paintball, flash bomb and deliver a final ice attack which will increase your chances to get it to retreat.
I'll probably wait till Yumi is level 25 before going for Zinogre that way she'll have have two Speed attacks with Vengeful Ice Tail, and Cold Blast, a Technical attack with Ice Spear yeah I got a Zamtrios who I was going to use just give Yumi Ice Spear via the Rite of Channeling, and a Power attack with Freezing Burst.
@@derrickhaggard should use multiple monsties to preserve king ship energy and perfom multiple Kingships strikes, but any method works since zinogre isn't that hard just remember zinogre changes his element attacks backwards from speed to technical when charged to finally power when he's angry.
Absolutely worth it, he was the main team monstie He's very strong and can make many bosses easy since many have thunder weakness Consider putting ( chomp gene s ) from red khezu into it + any no element power type move you have to cover all 3 types And he will carry you through the game easily
Uh... skills don't stack in this game. Nesting M+Nesting S doesn't add up, you only get the effects of Nesting M. Same goes for the prayer pot. You can only have one effect active at a time
I swear, there is no RUclipsr for this game that actually knows anything, it feels like. If they do know anything, they still don't bother making any corrections to the videos that they put out in ignorance.
I find hims significantly easier then Tigrex primarily because Tigrex can double attack and crit one shot. Zinogre don't auto crit like tigrex and can't double attack.
Yeah, Zinogre hits like a freaking truck with non-functioning breaks going down the steepest hill imaginable. Add on to that the fact that he can pretty consistently inflict Paralysis, and you have yourself a really good Monster. And if you are willing to take the time to farm even more Zinogre eggs, you can then improve your main Zinogre even more by Channeling it with the others. He's now locked-in as one of my constant team members both in singleplayer & multiplayer. My current team (I only just reached Kuon Village in the third area) consists of a Zinogre, Tigrex, Monoblos, Rathian, & a Royal Ludroth (I'll probably swap out the Ludroth for that shark....thing, I can't remember it's name atm, once I have the time and have improved it's genes via Channeling.
Not sure if Tag will see this, but another good way to get Tigerex with only Alwin on your team is tame a Bsarios. They can get both poison gas and fire gas that can be stacked for 300 plus damage every turn. They are also big tank boys too. Got a rainbow tigerex on my first go.
Thank god some monsters are changing attack tendencies, I'm playing through MHS1 before this one and I swear there is just an overflow of power monsties...
I'll call him Sasuke mostly because Zinogre has that cocky as heck swagger that Sasuke especially in Shippuden and the prelude episodes to the introduction of the Kara organization in Boruto has along with Chidori.
If I'm level 25, will it be possible for Zinogre to retreat at all? I've been doing this all day with Rathian armor and Paintballs when he starts drooling, and he hasn't retreated once.
@@finalaleks.6663 you have to defeat a monster for them to retreat. If they flee it doesn't count. Throw the paintball after drooling, defeat them within 3 turns. If they're still alive after 3 turns you need a new paintball.
Hey can I ask for an idea for lvl? Just got to the ice valley at ruffly lvl 20ish. I got most of what you advised I just what I a good idea when I can try and have a ok time.
Dont farm zin for his genes early game just get one off the royal retreat and move on. Unlike most games just push to finish the story sense the majority of the games best monsties and genes are high rank exclusive. Trust me you only hender your self if you try to 100% every zone and catch everything sense everything you catch will have low tier genes. Not saying dont get a zin or monsties you like just dont min max till end game where your getting high rank mats and genes as well as more consistent rare monstie eggs. Trust me i tried to min max and suffered for it by wasting over 100 hours hatching low tier monsties and clearing every den for bottlecaps when their infinite hard rank and start spawning in normal dens.
I don't play turn based so this game is nothing but confusing. Apparently I screwed up from the start and after 10 hours all I have is weak things and I am not starting over. I do not like this game enough to do over
Literally have killed zinogre 20 times and he won't retreat. :( yes I use paintball and have nesting (s) yet I just have horrible luck. On the bright side I'm level 24 just from killing him lol

Thank you so much for these guides! I took down Tigrex for the first time with your advice after around 3-4 tries
Hell Yeah!
I love how even if you leveled yourself up to a high level you can still be challenged by storyline bosses and new monsters
The save tip is a great time saver! These guides are very helpful.
Me: sitting here incredibly proud of my Nargacuga.

gotta catch em all!

I tame shiny egg Tigrex in lv18...

**GAME LOGIC**
Regular one don't normally wanders there though
The Stygian variant on the other hands are native to that region
@@ekosubandie2094 I know lol it's just funny how they put Regular Zin where Stygi should be. They just don't want us to be OP.

@@ekosubandie2094 maybe he is on the process to becoming styigian variant
I think they did that in World also.
I'm seriously enjoying the combat and monster collecting on this game. Never thought I'll enjoy turn based again since I'm more an arpg gamer.
This game like Monster Rancher Evo PS2 and Pokemon itself. And the visual is super enjoyable. Try the game i mention
Thanks for mentioning that the save reloading works on the cave. I was constantly fighting him again and again to try and get a better egg. Even with the save reloading though Zinogre was so stingy with giving me a "rainbow glow" egg.
Save- I was getting a couple of gold eggs or regular ones, but none rainbow eggs.
So far each area has been taking me about a day or so, just the third area and the Monsters there are WHOOPIN my ass!
Remember that kinship attacks completely cancel a monsters turn so save them for the ultimate attack they build up to.
zinogre: "no full moon? fine ill make my own to howl at"
This is on my to-do-list of things to do before continuing the main story. So thank you for the tips.

you can take out the early monstie velocidrome and add a tobi-kadachi to use jump!

Getting a rainbow egg from retreat den is super hard
Took me 30+ resets to get a rainbow egg of tigrex
I was SO close then that bastard used power attacks when I was just expecting speed and technical 😂
I thought tigrex is a speed monstie? How do you make him to keep using power attacks?

Just saw this thing in the wild tried to beat it and got absolutely wrecked 😂 thanks for the guide!!!
Me but I went up against the royal monster elephant sleeping peacefully, and Advina's Monstie actually made me lose the battle.
I killed it first try on my last heart with 1HP left... and it didn't retreat 🤣🥶 Time to try again!
Appreciate the video thanks❤ was Abel to defeat Zerg easy just had to try 10 times in order to get the retreat😂
Absolutely worth it, he was the main team monstie
He's very strong and can make many bosses easy since many have thunder weakness
Consider putting ( chomp gene s ) from red khezu into it + any no element power type move you have to cover all 3 types
And he will carry you through the game easily

Love the pit class beast they are the coolest
The baby’s are so cool
I’m confused on how to level up the kinship thing. It’s been on level 1 for a while despite it leveling up to level 3 in game
You have to win head to heads while riding your monstie to level it up
4:35 Back Attack!? Tony Stark will call out "D**k move". 😝😝
Whenever I use a trap it always just says traps won't work on this monster

I did this guy on my first try but got to greedy with egg and it woke up and killed me :/
What level did you do it at
Took me 6 kills for the first den spawn. And didnt think to use traps
As of now i have killed 4 Zinogres and none of them wants to retreat so they end up dying 😢
Thank god some monsters are changing attack tendencies, I'm playing through MHS1 before this one and I swear there is just an overflow of power monsties...
Electric....😂
Thunder, ma wonderful dude!
good vid
THIS MONSTER KNOWS CHIDORI!!!!! I SHALL CALL HIM KAKASHI

not until much later in the game. like 20+ hours

Beat him twice and his den doesn’t even show up. Was this patched out?
which is stronger in late game? Zinogre or Astalos?
I love this game
Oh… I accidentally killed mine after being absolutely destroyed by it four times… it didn’t even show up that he was weak?!
Lol he said getting tigrex
Took me a couple hours to get a rainbow of this.
How do you get the finding prayer. Because I only have training and gathering. do I need to level up the prayer pot to get more?
Yes as you level up the prayer pot, you will unlock more prayers.
This Zinogre destroys me
Which level should i have?
Now i have to face Crimson Qurupeco
That comes when Ratha learns how to Fly

You will always find it at the same spot even if you’ve finished the story

will i survive that fight at 17 with rathian armor and idr my sword
Maybe
If you're lucky cause I barely survived my attempt at getting Tigrex to retreat and I was at level 20.
