Honestly, this is really relaxing to watch. You should make more vids like this. DW1 is such a relaxing game and you put such a fun spin on the guide with the commentary.
A few more tips to get to ultimate earlier: Only these 3 count as care mistakes: not sleeping in time, not eating in time, and pooping on the floor. You have 90 in-game minutes to eat before the status goes away and you have until your digimon would normally wake up for the sleep status to go away. Do note that training through hunger counts as 2 but sleeping through hunger or poop counts as 0. A neat quirk about sleeping is that you gain a static amount of time on the digivolution clock, either 1, 3, or 9 hours depending on the evolution stage. Babies will evolve after 6 hours, in-trainings after 24, rookies 72, and champions can evolve after 144 hours. As a result you can train until you have about an hour before you get a care mistake, sleep, and effectively have that time count for double on the digivolultion timer. Note that this will cause tiredness to not lower as much during that sleep and may cause happiness and discipline to lower. Both care mistakes and battle count actually reset upon evolution which would explain why Hungy didn't until after fighting Drimogemon and the clock ticking to the next hour despite your on-screen counter having already been on 30 for the longest time. This also means that any mistakes done before you hit rookie done matter beyond affecting lifespan. Another thing that can help reach those stat goals if you need to use stats as one of your 3 evo requirements are the reference stats. These are hidden values used to determine how much your digimon's stats grow on evolution. If a stat is under the reference, you gain half of the difference and if you meet or exceed it, you gain 10% of the reference. These vary with each digimon and depending on the route you take to ultimate could save you some time training. Another way to increase stat gains at Green Gym is baby grinding. If you train 10 times at a station as a baby or in-training, it gives a permanent 1-point boost to that station in a vein similar to recruiting the beetles. This progress is also saved as your digimon regenerates so you don't need to grind all 10 at a station in a single life cycle. Note that brain training is bugged in this aspect and that boost is handled by MP training instead.

My first time playing this game I got a metalgreymon with my starter. I never managed to get him again. Thanks for making me his video cause I had no idea what I was doing.
Honestly this video, informative as it is, kinda proves that Metal Greymon is definitely a great Ultimate for early game. It's easy to get, has pretty lenient requirements. Plus, I think it helps knowing that the game counts stats all together as 1 whole requirement. Breaking it down into three primary reqs (Stats, Care mistakes, Weight) and only 1 of the bonus ones, makes getting to Ultimate stage consistently much easier. Great video all around!
I would disagree that Metal Greymon is a easy to get Ultimate, all of the small spherical Digimon have more lenient stat requirements. Though of course if you want you can try and get an Ultimate Digimon without the stat requirements, as long as you fulfil their weight, care and bonus requirements.
Eh... I wouldn't want Metal Greymon to be my first ultimate evo... I have to preserve Fire or Machine Ultimate evo for lategame just because all of the high end Ultimate bosses and skills are Machine and Fire. Metal Greymon is both type.
@rezaardiansyahmawardana8248 There certain is that, but the reason why I personally would suggest to avoid him in thr early game is that many of the Digimon that become MetalGreymon (all except for Meramon specifically) need a lot of food to be satisfied with a meal, and even then, his weight requirement is high enough that unless you make it a point to gather a lot of food early on, there's a chance you could not meet the required weight. On a side note, a popular tactic I see online is to digivolve to Greymon and have him learn megalo spark, but I don't recommend this, either, for 2 reasons: 1) You don't have a very high chance of learning megalo spark with Greymon since his main specialty is fire, not air. As a result, you'll have better results trying to do so with something like Kokatorimon, Unimon, Airdramon, etc. 2) It's also worth noting that neither of Greymon's ultimate level digivolutions can use the move, either, meaning that you're going to spend more time learning moves if you do this.
"Fun" fact, the stat requirements are all ONE requirement. Meaning they ALL have to meet the prerequisite in order to count as ONE. You need 3 to digivolve. Which means you didnt actually need to achieve any of them, just the battles, weight requirements, and care mistakes. its actually easier to not get the stats.

I played this game long ago but from my last playthrough I am fairly confident you can actually totally ignore all the stat requirements if you meet care mistakes, weight and bonus condition criteria. I obteined MG this way from the beginning, with 100% discipline, overfeeding on day 11 and 0 care mistakes. It did work and I am sure my average stat value was about 250 per stat at the time.
I learned this the hard way by following this video and missing only one stat. I was so confused when I got MetalGreymon anyway because of course I hit the bonus condition early! Also, I read that the battle counter resets upon digivolution, so it's a good thing he kept going past his own counter as he started it with Agumon!
in order to get a certain evolution you need to meet at least half of the requirements i think. if an evolution requires 8 stats you can get it if you meet at least 4 and non of them are requirements for a different evolution. if the 4 requirements you meet are shared with a different evolution the minimum target amount increases until the game determines that you are definitely on the path to one specific evolution.

I'm currently playing through Digimon World 2 for the first time since I was a kid(I didn't get far back then lol...) and it's fun to be playing through it. Digimon games are fantastic!
really like the quality of this DigiDocumentary! a few ago years i did a run (its Online watchable) where my first agumon digivolved to Greymon > MetalGreymon > SkullGreymon and i did about 80% of the mainstory with him.
So a bit of an essay on this lol. I saw there were plenty of ways to optimize the first generation MetalGreymon run so I decided to take a stab at it and the results were pretty incredible. Biggest difference between my run and yours is that I forgo the bonus stat and decided to take time to recruit key digimon. After getting my speed and offense to 100 each I headed out and recruited Augumon and Kunemon. Augumon is basically mandatory and Kunemon was for the MP Chip and the shortcut to File City from the east side. After doing all of this it should naturally be afternoon which is perfect for Coelamon which gets you to the other side of the river for Betamon and Centarumon. Betamon opens the very valuable shop which basically solves your food issue as you can buy meat for 50 bits a piece. Centarumon like you mentioned is very valuable for the more efficient rests. Next day I go to get Palmon for Giant Meat and a Brain Chip. The daily Giant Meat when sold yields 750 bits which can be used on regular Meat or the Restaurant (more on that later). Last notable thing I do that day other than training is go beat up Drimogemon so we can start digging our way to Meramon the last digimon we'll recruit on our quest to first generation MetalGreymon. Final notable day we dig our way to Meramon (which yields nice stats plus bits) beat him up and get the several chips that are either in his dungeon or that he drops. Meramon unlocks the Restaurant which sells cheap Ramen which reduce tiredness when eaten for a measly 400 bits. After this pretty straightforward. Train, sell your Giant Meat, eat Ramen, go to doctor to reduce tiredness and by the start of day 12 I have MetalGreymon with no bonus condition. I actually rolled back to a previous save to see how much time I had left and my Greymon would have lasted 3 more days so got there comfortably. Was a fun challenge :D
I've just started a new playthrough and managed to get Metalgreymon for the first time in my life. I focused on the weight, care mistakes and battle requirements instead of the stats. Thanks for the video it made me want to challenge myself!
holy crap, this is my favorite all time game of all consoles. Im trying to bring a friend which gets 100% at all new era games to get 100% on digimon world. He's starting to accept the challenge, i'll link him ur video to help him starting
Fun fact, this game has metals which are like modern day achievements (Yes technically this is one of the first games with achievements inside), one of them is to beat the whole game with your first Digimon which must evolve into a Metal Greymon. Also fun fact, the "blue" color of Metal Greymon skin it's suppose to be that it's decomposing...
Your right on all accounts, as the first metal Greymon design we saw as the “modern design” used the blue because it wasn’t supposed to be a “good guy” digimon and first appears as a villain in the first official digimon manga Digimon adventure 01 v tamer
@@gabrieldevoogel6225 The design of Metal Greymon Virus actually predates V-Tamer, it wasn't created to be a bad guy but one of the 3 end game Digimon for the first V-Pet, with the strongest being Monzaemon.
@@ultimateshadeofwar I didn’t mean that it was made for the bad guy role, it’s change to orange however was a direct result of the anime staff and I quote thinking he didn’t look enough like a “good guy” and while V pets would be the first time we see them, we didn’t see the proper Design until the manga, I also feel like it’s worth mentioning it had a previous design after v pets in another manga meant as a story based v pet light story, where digimon battles are done in arena toys and stadiums and not the digi or real worlds, it’s a good read and alarm EX has a video on it
What the hell? How is it that this channel doesn't get more attention? Dude this video looked like something you could see in a half a million subs channel. Hope you keep doing new content!
Actually if you fulfill bonus condition, stats can be skipped entirely (recomended for digivolving to ultimate) So you need, care mistake required, weight, and 1 bonus condition
Great guide buddy, however i gotta note that the stat requirements dont work that way. a bonus condition won't be exchanged for a single stat(in your case HP) but the entirety of the stats. I got my metalgreymon without a single stat requirement, just weight, battles and no mistakes in the caring department, that's it. 2 requirements and a bonus one. the stats requirement count as only 1 requirement.
Can confirm. This video got me motivated to dig the game out of storage, and I managed to raise the starter Agumon to a MetalGreymon with only the Care Mistake/Weight/Bonus Criteria combo. Just before digivolving, Greymon's stats were approx. 3 000-3 100 HP and MP, and approx. 300-310 Off, Def, Spd, and Bra, so the only stats it actually fullfilled were MP, Spd, and Bra. After digivolving, its stats were 4006 HP, 4005 MP, 417 Off, 410 Def, 402 Spd, and 403 Bra. Also, funny thing I noticed: despite MetalGreymon requiring a weight of 60-70, once it actually became MetalGreymon, its weight dropped to 50.
Ok. I always do the drill tunel job first with my first digimon so I can also learn fire moves. But this was intresting. Most of the fact that you get Tamer lvl up fast. I did get an ultimate in my first at some runs but I didnt remember if Tamer lvl went up. I always like to go for training improvement first(Get to bug island with the normal rod, tamer lvl and as soon as I can Piximon and buy the upgrade)
Its not impossible lol. I used to do it alot. One trick is to keep track of their energy or fatigue for training and fighting. When they want to sleep, don't sleep for a few hours but instead rest at centarumon then train a few times then sleep. You can get alot out of it and get evolutions a little faster. Sometimes sleeping won't fulling restore their fatigue if you do this, so keep track of that. Later, when you get sirloin, this trick gets better. Early on doing the mine cart and dirt for drimogemon helps alot too, plus stat chips of you want to make it easier. It's very possible to get metalgreymon early and do some adventuring on the side.
This came out when i was like 5 or 6 and I remember for so long like 10-15 years after my CD got scratched how bad I wanted to play this game but couldnt because the PS2 came out and they stopped making this game… was able to recently buy a brand new PS1 with controllers and memory cards and Digimon world 1 and 3. Its like my childhood dream come true 20 years later
Thinking about it, Veggiemon also drops a Super Carrot, which when eaten will improve training for your MP, Brains, and Offense. So another benefit to fighting them would be the potential of them dropping one of those
My dumb self really needed videos like this back in 2000. I was always so disheartened by all the mistakes i never knew i made as well as the numerous Numemon i had to care for.
seadramon on lake. Confirmed as i am currently playing :D. Old rod works... No need to complete or touch toy town. (not tested but i fished seadramon after yuramon? saying rumours about the lake - cant confirm if you need that info or not).
Very good vid! My big bro got MetalGreymon with a fresh save and I think he might've just spammed Chips. Also a starter has better stats than ur 2nd mon iirc.
Omg the fishing strat is what I did when I was younger but I never got to the frozen lands so I just kept fishing for bigger fish until I had no more bait for the digiseabass and then I sold all of it
In germany you got the PAL Version of the game. Funny thing about the PAL Version is that you can't get Seadramon and you can't enter the Ogremon Hide-out with out glitching tricks. I was never able to use a glitch to enter. So it was pretty hard to finish the game. I'm unsure if I ever finish the game, but I believe it was possible.
its completely possible to get wargraymon and beat the game on your first digimon using battles for mid to late game stats and stat chips saved untill day 8 being when champions usually die. Ultamites have a longer life and can go till about 14 or 15 days if no mistakes were made, Dont forget restaurant gives stats for money
the amount of stats you can gain from battles depends on the evolution stage of your opponent compared to yours and their numbers. you gain more stats fighting a champion leve with a rookie level as well as fighting 2 or more opponents at once. but still the gym training gives way more stats.
I sent pixiemon packing with Monzimon that I actually managed to get without the suit ~ I believe you can get the coolest move in the game Thunder Justice~
if u do 30 battles u dont need to get any stat ... simply stat are not counted separately they are counted all at same time so fail 1 stat or all stats i counted same i was doing lot of time story line and getting weight , less than 10 mistakes , and 30 battles from strory line and i was getting metal greymon
Isn't the double nap wasteful? Each one consumes an hour in the clock. Is it worthy? Does the extra nap really gets you more training time? You were napping so much, it seems it made no difference compared to just one nap, which would give you one more training hour
You need multiple nap to reset tiredness to 0 , rest at punimon -10 tiredness , rest at centarumon -20 tiredness , its usefull to do less sleep time method , less sleep will speed up digivolve
damn when i played this game as a kid 2 decades ago i could never figure out how to get my digimon to their final stages. i only ever managed to get one ultra level and only by luck when i got an patamon evolving into tyrannomon then megadramon. this game is so hard without an evolution guide.
My greymon is dying at age 11... I'm doing exactly like you did in the video, but I cant reach the stats right in time... (im using portable potty, giant meat and making no mistakes on care) can anyone help me
There's actually a more efficient money making technique that does not require fishing. Every single mushroom you pick up can be traded to one Mojyamon for a Medium Recovery, and then that in turn can be traded to a different one for a Super Defense Disk. This effectively makes every single mushroom you find worth 2000 bits. In addition, if you have Medium Recoveries available at the shop, you can buy them for 500 each, trade them for Super Defense Disks worth 2000 each, effectively quadrupling your money. One thing to note is that you don't actually have to hit the stat requirements to get the ultimate as long as you meet at least one bonus condition, the care mistakes condition, and hit the weight target. So as long as you hit the weight target, don't make more than 10 care mistakes (which is hard to mess up), and then either do 30 battles, or make sure the Discipline gauge is maxed out, you will have MetalGreymon, no training required. Andromon is even easier this way -- if you happen to end up with Meramon or Centarumon, since the weight requirement is a lot lower.
on my last playthrough I got a metalgreymon with the starter digimon, and then made him into a skullgreymon and he ended up having almost 999 on all his stats near the end of his long life, and also managed to finish the entire game with him alone iirc. was definitely easier than when I was a kid and had to guess all of it sometimes
yes they do. if you dont get your partner to their final stage it dies after about 12 to 15 ingame days. at the final evolution stage it lives for about 20 days.
@@carlobensurto4882 the game mainly focuses on the tamagochi based care system. and the game is based around training different kinds of digimon throughout the playthrough since there are areas that require a certain kind of digimon to enter. it also features a basic achievement system and part of it is to have unlocked every evolution.
@uteriel282 I see. So that's why I read about like you said that certain digimon is needed to enter the dungeon. Though i think I'll just watch vides of digimon ps1. Can't handle this re-doing thing hehe
What 8 year old was going to figure this all out lol. I remember contantly gettign numamon and dropping the game because I came for metal greymon and was constantly disappointed lol
The Digimon spreadsheet is broken down into the many different stats that work in tandem for the required Digimon. I used each cell under the Digimon to layout the required stats to get said Digimon.
@taso8774 That's true. I have been able to get an Andromon twice as my first ultimate level Digimon from my first partner by ignoring the stat requirements and just getting weight, care mistakes and a bonus condition (40+ battles in this case)
@@desuganmen4827That's false: every ultimate level Digimon in this game aside from Vademon has it's own set of bonus conditions you can achieve to obtain them; in Megadramon's case, he needs 30+ battles or 30+ learned techniques. This is actually the same as what is needed for MetalGreymon, meaning that if your champion is Tyrannomon, you have to pay attention to the other requirements, since he can become both Megadramon and MetalGreymon
I didn't like mtlgreymon in this game because he was slow. the volcano skill is the fastest skill to cast that he got plus he doesn't have the mechanical boost. his skills can be countered, even his jab, like how piximon did. he may have the strongest skill in 3 categories in infinity burn, dive, dg dimension but easily countered.
"Don't worry guys, my metal buddy here knows exactly what he's doing" *his metal buddy proceeds to slobber all over himself, proving this assumption quite incorrect*
What an inefficient way to train... You never considered the increase of another stat when training. You could have just left offense at 470 if your hp was at 1k, because training hp will also give you offense stat. The same goes for the other stats.
I found it irritating that you were ignoring the secondary stat gains the training equipment was giving. You wasted so much time hard-training brains and ended up with way more than you needed.
Sadly… this guy is close. But he is doing more than he needs to. Getting any of the stats, only counts as one necessary parameter. All you have to do to make your Greymon digivolve to MGM, and I know this from experience because I always digivolve from starting agumon to greymon to metal. First try, every time. Effortless. All you have to do is make no care mistakes, feed him to 65-70g, and win 35 or more battles with greymon. Make no mistakes, keep his weight at 65ish, and once you complete your 35th battle, he will instantly digivolve. Training greymon is a waste of time. My greymons stats can be 1500/1500 hp/mp, and 1-200 across the board in the other stats, no training at all. And once he digivolves his stats automatically rise to to the 4000/6000/500/500/300/300. So training in the gym is a waste of time you could spend unlocking areas, fighting, gathering resources to recruit digimon ETC. that being said. When we all played this game 20-25 years ago it was VERY confusing even WITH with soft back paper strategy guide, so only being 75% correct with your methods is understandable. That being said even though you weren’t completely right, you still managed to get the desired outcome and that’s all that matters is you got the digi you wanted and had fun. Enjoy!
Thought it was impossible to get an ultimate in the beginning of the game…. Lmfao that just goes to show that 90% of people who still play this game, know about as much about the game as they did when they played it as children. It’s effortless easy. I have gotten every single Ultimate and even the two mega’s (cannot get HerculesKM with agumon or gabumon) that you can with every single possible champion agumon and gabumon can digivolve into. It is even possible to get Etamon via Sukamon and Monzemon via Numemon WITHOUT THE CHEAP FREEBIE COSTUME DIGIVOLUTION. It isn’t hard to get any of the ultimates. I’ve gotten all of the possible ones, including Vademon. You just have to understand how necessary parameters and bonus conditions work. That’s it. Sadly this guy and all the people he talked about seeing complain online do not understand the mechanics of this game at all.
if you weren't spamming the command buttons during combat...would you even be playing DW?
Your call!
So true 😂😂
yes. because digimon is a Tamagotchi game, not a Colosseum game.

Note that this will cause tiredness to not lower as much during that sleep and may cause happiness and discipline to lower.
Both care mistakes and battle count actually reset upon evolution which would explain why Hungy didn't until after fighting Drimogemon and the clock ticking to the next hour despite your on-screen counter having already been on 30 for the longest time.

This progress is also saved as your digimon regenerates so you don't need to grind all 10 at a station in a single life cycle. Note that brain training is bugged in this aspect and that boost is handled by MP training instead.

I'm currently playing through Digimon World 2 for the first time since I was a kid(I didn't get far back then lol...) and it's fun to be playing through it. Digimon games are fantastic!
This is a great video, definitely looked like lots of effort was put into this! And I'm also so happy people are still playing Digimon World 1 :')
Amazing guide, helped me a lot getting MetalGreymon and finishing the game for the first time with him :D
really like the quality of this DigiDocumentary! a few ago years i did a run (its Online watchable) where my first agumon digivolved to Greymon > MetalGreymon > SkullGreymon and i did about 80% of the mainstory with him.
Amazing video. Love when people do these types of experiments for the greater good of the community.
Honestly such a great video, deserves way more attention.
's cute that you named him Gigan. Cuz he's a cyborg, I get it! :D
So a bit of an essay on this lol. I saw there were plenty of ways to optimize the first generation MetalGreymon run so I decided to take a stab at it and the results were pretty incredible. Biggest difference between my run and yours is that I forgo the bonus stat and decided to take time to recruit key digimon.
After getting my speed and offense to 100 each I headed out and recruited Augumon and Kunemon. Augumon is basically mandatory and Kunemon was for the MP Chip and the shortcut to File City from the east side. After doing all of this it should naturally be afternoon which is perfect for Coelamon which gets you to the other side of the river for Betamon and Centarumon. Betamon opens the very valuable shop which basically solves your food issue as you can buy meat for 50 bits a piece. Centarumon like you mentioned is very valuable for the more efficient rests.
Next day I go to get Palmon for Giant Meat and a Brain Chip. The daily Giant Meat when sold yields 750 bits which can be used on regular Meat or the Restaurant (more on that later). Last notable thing I do that day other than training is go beat up Drimogemon so we can start digging our way to Meramon the last digimon we'll recruit on our quest to first generation MetalGreymon.
Final notable day we dig our way to Meramon (which yields nice stats plus bits) beat him up and get the several chips that are either in his dungeon or that he drops. Meramon unlocks the Restaurant which sells cheap Ramen which reduce tiredness when eaten for a measly 400 bits.
After this pretty straightforward. Train, sell your Giant Meat, eat Ramen, go to doctor to reduce tiredness and by the start of day 12 I have MetalGreymon with no bonus condition. I actually rolled back to a previous save to see how much time I had left and my Greymon would have lasted 3 more days so got there comfortably. Was a fun challenge :D
I've just started a new playthrough and managed to get Metalgreymon for the first time in my life. I focused on the weight, care mistakes and battle requirements instead of the stats.
Thanks for the video it made me want to challenge myself!
Loved this video, any plans to make more for other Digimon?
AWESOME video dude, really good music choices. Subbed and liked.
Still the best Digimon game.
And thank you for the high quality Guide! 🧡🧡🧡
Love the game and love your video, instant sub from me! Funny enough I just beat this game on stream last week so the YT recommendation was awesome!
Yo, amazing production and video!!!!! Always love Digimon series on the PSX 🔥🔥🔥🔥
holy crap, this is my favorite all time game of all consoles.
Im trying to bring a friend which gets 100% at all new era games to get 100% on digimon world. He's starting to accept the challenge, i'll link him ur video to help him starting
Fun fact, this game has metals which are like modern day achievements (Yes technically this is one of the first games with achievements inside), one of them is to beat the whole game with your first Digimon which must evolve into a Metal Greymon.
Also fun fact, the "blue" color of Metal Greymon skin it's suppose to be that it's decomposing...
Your right on all accounts, as the first metal Greymon design we saw as the “modern design” used the blue because it wasn’t supposed to be a “good guy” digimon and first appears as a villain in the first official digimon manga Digimon adventure 01 v tamer
@@gabrieldevoogel6225 The design of Metal Greymon Virus actually predates V-Tamer, it wasn't created to be a bad guy but one of the 3 end game Digimon for the first V-Pet, with the strongest being Monzaemon.
@@ultimateshadeofwar I didn’t mean that it was made for the bad guy role, it’s change to orange however was a direct result of the anime staff and I quote thinking he didn’t look enough like a “good guy” and while V pets would be the first time we see them, we didn’t see the proper Design until the manga, I also feel like it’s worth mentioning it had a previous design after v pets in another manga meant as a story based v pet light story, where digimon battles are done in arena toys and stadiums and not the digi or real worlds, it’s a good read and alarm EX has a video on it
Awesome video! We love to see it
Nice tips and guide bro. Very usefull.
What the hell? How is it that this channel doesn't get more attention? Dude this video looked like something you could see in a half a million subs channel. Hope you keep doing new content!
Are you going to make more videos? I just discovered your channel and you have great content.
awesome video, would love more Digimon World 1 guides :)
Great video (love seeing digimon content)
Actually if you fulfill bonus condition, stats can be skipped entirely (recomended for digivolving to ultimate)
So you need, care mistake required, weight, and 1 bonus condition
The nostalgia..
My first champion always centarumon every time I picked agumon as my starter..
Great guide buddy, however i gotta note that the stat requirements dont work that way. a bonus condition won't be exchanged for a single stat(in your case HP) but the entirety of the stats. I got my metalgreymon without a single stat requirement, just weight, battles and no mistakes in the caring department, that's it. 2 requirements and a bonus one. the stats requirement count as only 1 requirement.
Can confirm. This video got me motivated to dig the game out of storage, and I managed to raise the starter Agumon to a MetalGreymon with only the Care Mistake/Weight/Bonus Criteria combo.
Just before digivolving, Greymon's stats were approx. 3 000-3 100 HP and MP, and approx. 300-310 Off, Def, Spd, and Bra, so the only stats it actually fullfilled were MP, Spd, and Bra.
After digivolving, its stats were 4006 HP, 4005 MP, 417 Off, 410 Def, 402 Spd, and 403 Bra.
Also, funny thing I noticed: despite MetalGreymon requiring a weight of 60-70, once it actually became MetalGreymon, its weight dropped to 50.
Never even heard of Beetle Island before this video XD
Great video 👍
Ok. I always do the drill tunel job first with my first digimon so I can also learn fire moves. But this was intresting. Most of the fact that you get Tamer lvl up fast. I did get an ultimate in my first at some runs but I didnt remember if Tamer lvl went up. I always like to go for training improvement first(Get to bug island with the normal rod, tamer lvl and as soon as I can Piximon and buy the upgrade)
where did you find that spread sheet? its real nice
All my champions die by day 11 or 12. How did you make it to day 13?
Its not impossible lol. I used to do it alot. One trick is to keep track of their energy or fatigue for training and fighting. When they want to sleep, don't sleep for a few hours but instead rest at centarumon then train a few times then sleep. You can get alot out of it and get evolutions a little faster. Sometimes sleeping won't fulling restore their fatigue if you do this, so keep track of that. Later, when you get sirloin, this trick gets better. Early on doing the mine cart and dirt for drimogemon helps alot too, plus stat chips of you want to make it easier. It's very possible to get metalgreymon early and do some adventuring on the side.
I would like to see this for every ultimate please and thank you 🎉
This came out when i was like 5 or 6 and I remember for so long like 10-15 years after my CD got scratched how bad I wanted to play this game but couldnt because the PS2 came out and they stopped making this game… was able to recently buy a brand new PS1 with controllers and memory cards and Digimon world 1 and 3. Its like my childhood dream come true 20 years later
Thinking about it, Veggiemon also drops a Super Carrot, which when eaten will improve training for your MP, Brains, and Offense.
So another benefit to fighting them would be the potential of them dropping one of those
My dumb self really needed videos like this back in 2000. I was always so disheartened by all the mistakes i never knew i made as well as the numerous Numemon i had to care for.
seadramon on lake. Confirmed as i am currently playing :D. Old rod works... No need to complete or touch toy town. (not tested but i fished seadramon after yuramon? saying rumours about the lake - cant confirm if you need that info or not).
Very good vid!
My big bro got MetalGreymon with a fresh save and I think he might've just spammed Chips. Also a starter has better stats than ur 2nd mon iirc.
little tip: Sirloin makes your Digimon a bit less tired
Omg the fishing strat is what I did when I was younger but I never got to the frozen lands so I just kept fishing for bigger fish until I had no more bait for the digiseabass and then I sold all of it
I wish this video came packaged with every copy of this game when I was 11 years old
Nice video, but some background music would be rly nice, something smooth! :)
In germany you got the PAL Version of the game. Funny thing about the PAL Version is that you can't get Seadramon and you can't enter the Ogremon Hide-out with out glitching tricks. I was never able to use a glitch to enter. So it was pretty hard to finish the game. I'm unsure if I ever finish the game, but I believe it was possible.
its completely possible to get wargraymon and beat the game on your first digimon using battles for mid to late game stats and stat chips saved untill day 8 being when champions usually die. Ultamites have a longer life and can go till about 14 or 15 days if no mistakes were made, Dont forget restaurant gives stats for money
I had always thought it was better to fight in the wilds ASAP as a kid. Didn’t use the gym nearly enough, I guess. 😅
the amount of stats you can gain from battles depends on the evolution stage of your opponent compared to yours and their numbers.
you gain more stats fighting a champion leve with a rookie level as well as fighting 2 or more opponents at once.
but still the gym training gives way more stats.
I sent pixiemon packing with Monzimon that I actually managed to get without the suit ~ I believe you can get the coolest move in the game Thunder Justice~
if u do 30 battles u dont need to get any stat ... simply stat are not counted separately they are counted all at same time so fail 1 stat or all stats i counted same i was doing lot of time story line and getting weight , less than 10 mistakes , and 30 battles from strory line and i was getting metal greymon
why wherent you feeding giant meat as the second meal each time? wouldnt that have kept your weight good?
wondering if you are going to do anything on digimon world 4
You actually didn't need to meet ANY of the stat requirements, the 30+ battles, weight & care mistakes alone would evolve him.
Great vid😎💪🏼
weird rumor, i always caught it with the old rod, in a good 30+ playthroughs
Digimen 👾
awesome metalgreymon video
What emulator do you use in this video?
None, I used a real PS1 and a capture card.
Isn't the double nap wasteful? Each one consumes an hour in the clock. Is it worthy? Does the extra nap really gets you more training time? You were napping so much, it seems it made no difference compared to just one nap, which would give you one more training hour
You need multiple nap to reset tiredness to 0 , rest at punimon -10 tiredness , rest at centarumon -20 tiredness , its usefull to do less sleep time method , less sleep will speed up digivolve
damn when i played this game as a kid 2 decades ago i could never figure out how to get my digimon to their final stages.
i only ever managed to get one ultra level and only by luck when i got an patamon evolving into tyrannomon then megadramon.
this game is so hard without an evolution guide.
Is there a way to play this as a rom on pc?
Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This game is nuts lol
how long is he alive after training or does life span increase when evolving to ult
the digimons lifespan increases with each evolution.
a champion level lives until about age 12 to 15.
a ultimate level live up to about age 20.
My greymon is dying at age 11... I'm doing exactly like you did in the video, but I cant reach the stats right in time... (im using portable potty, giant meat and making no mistakes on care) can anyone help me
Good video ❤
but how do u get so many techniques?
There's actually a more efficient money making technique that does not require fishing. Every single mushroom you pick up can be traded to one Mojyamon for a Medium Recovery, and then that in turn can be traded to a different one for a Super Defense Disk. This effectively makes every single mushroom you find worth 2000 bits. In addition, if you have Medium Recoveries available at the shop, you can buy them for 500 each, trade them for Super Defense Disks worth 2000 each, effectively quadrupling your money.
One thing to note is that you don't actually have to hit the stat requirements to get the ultimate as long as you meet at least one bonus condition, the care mistakes condition, and hit the weight target. So as long as you hit the weight target, don't make more than 10 care mistakes (which is hard to mess up), and then either do 30 battles, or make sure the Discipline gauge is maxed out, you will have MetalGreymon, no training required.
Andromon is even easier this way -- if you happen to end up with Meramon or Centarumon, since the weight requirement is a lot lower.
Remember gettin my first Ultra Level (it was the Orange Dragon snake with Purple Wings) and he died after 3 Days... i was so fking sad 😢
on my last playthrough I got a metalgreymon with the starter digimon, and then made him into a skullgreymon and he ended up having almost 999 on all his stats near the end of his long life, and also managed to finish the entire game with him alone iirc. was definitely easier than when I was a kid and had to guess all of it sometimes
Do your monster die like in monster rancher?
yes they do.
if you dont get your partner to their final stage it dies after about 12 to 15 ingame days.
at the final evolution stage it lives for about 20 days.
@uteriel282 thanks for the heads up. That's sad. It's like repeating the process day 1 again after it dies. :(
@@carlobensurto4882
the game mainly focuses on the tamagochi based care system.
and the game is based around training different kinds of digimon throughout the playthrough since there are areas that require a certain kind of digimon to enter.
it also features a basic achievement system and part of it is to have unlocked every evolution.
@uteriel282 I see. So that's why I read about like you said that certain digimon is needed to enter the dungeon. Though i think I'll just watch vides of digimon ps1. Can't handle this re-doing thing hehe
What 8 year old was going to figure this all out lol. I remember contantly gettign numamon and dropping the game because I came for metal greymon and was constantly disappointed lol
I thought all “stats” together counted as one “requirement?”
The Digimon spreadsheet is broken down into the many different stats that work in tandem for the required Digimon. I used each cell under the Digimon to layout the required stats to get said Digimon.
@@DannyDeVoid I think what Megamasher meant is that you only need
@taso8774 That's true. I have been able to get an Andromon twice as my first ultimate level Digimon from my first partner by ignoring the stat requirements and just getting weight, care mistakes and a bonus condition (40+ battles in this case)
You one shoted drill nose!
I know MG's the poster boy but Megadramon is just as hard to get, and much more powerful.
Yes , he is , you must get him via stat requirement becoz he has no bonus conditions for digivolve
@@desuganmen4827That's false: every ultimate level Digimon in this game aside from Vademon has it's own set of bonus conditions you can achieve to obtain them; in Megadramon's case, he needs 30+ battles or 30+ learned techniques. This is actually the same as what is needed for MetalGreymon, meaning that if your champion is Tyrannomon, you have to pay attention to the other requirements, since he can become both Megadramon and MetalGreymon
very entertaining, for old gamer hjaha
I followed this guide and i keep getting centarumon 😭
what does Megadramon turn into?
In this game or canonically?
I wanna know as well
@@montgomeryfortenberry he goes into machinedramon normally
Megadramon is one of two digimon that can digivolve into Skullgreymon upon death, there is an approximate 10% chance of this happening.
Can you make a video about how to get SkullGreymon in Digimon World 1? I tried to do it, but it didn't work.
his HP wasn't above 4000? i thought that was a requirement
ngl i just death evolved kokatorimon to phoenixmon as my easiest bet to beat ultimates like piximon and mamemon
Could probably have skipped a few turns in the classroom, after defense training you're way over-capped with brains.
I didn't like mtlgreymon in this game because he was slow. the volcano skill is the fastest skill to cast that he got plus he doesn't have the mechanical boost. his skills can be countered, even his jab, like how piximon did. he may have the strongest skill in 3 categories in infinity burn, dive, dg dimension but easily countered.
"Don't worry guys, my metal buddy here knows exactly what he's doing"
*his metal buddy proceeds to slobber all over himself, proving this assumption quite incorrect*
"how to get metalgreymon"
"here is a 48 minute video teaching you how"
Sums up the game pretty much when you were a child
more surpised your first digimon lasted 15 days and didnt die
Maybe I'm blind, but I couldn't find the link to the Seadramon/Old Rod video you mentioned. I found it here: ruclips.net/video/Dx6ipfIC4dM/видео.html
Also, thank you very much for this video!
Thanks for letting me know! That was the one video I forgot the link to.
Thanks for watching :)
By far the best PS game. FF7 has nothing to this game. Wish they would remaster this game for the ps5.
this dude definitely watched a j rose pokemon vid
who is that?
If you are not spamming the hell out of X you are playing wrong
What an inefficient way to train... You never considered the increase of another stat when training. You could have just left offense at 470 if your hp was at 1k, because training hp will also give you offense stat. The same goes for the other stats.
Oh man let me go back and redo it real quick bruh I got you
gg
I found it irritating that you were ignoring the secondary stat gains the training equipment was giving. You wasted so much time hard-training brains and ended up with way more than you needed.
Oh my bad dawg
Sadly… this guy is close. But he is doing more than he needs to. Getting any of the stats, only counts as one necessary parameter. All you have to do to make your Greymon digivolve to MGM, and I know this from experience because I always digivolve from starting agumon to greymon to metal. First try, every time. Effortless.
All you have to do is make no care mistakes, feed him to 65-70g, and win 35 or more battles with greymon. Make no mistakes, keep his weight at 65ish, and once you complete your 35th battle, he will instantly digivolve. Training greymon is a waste of time. My greymons stats can be 1500/1500 hp/mp, and 1-200 across the board in the other stats, no training at all. And once he digivolves his stats automatically rise to to the 4000/6000/500/500/300/300. So training in the gym is a waste of time you could spend unlocking areas, fighting, gathering resources to recruit digimon ETC. that being said. When we all played this game 20-25 years ago it was VERY confusing even WITH with soft back paper strategy guide, so only being 75% correct with your methods is understandable. That being said even though you weren’t completely right, you still managed to get the desired outcome and that’s all that matters is you got the digi you wanted and had fun. Enjoy!
Thought it was impossible to get an ultimate in the beginning of the game…. Lmfao that just goes to show that 90% of people who still play this game, know about as much about the game as they did when they played it as children. It’s effortless easy. I have gotten every single Ultimate and even the two mega’s (cannot get HerculesKM with agumon or gabumon) that you can with every single possible champion agumon and gabumon can digivolve into. It is even possible to get Etamon via Sukamon and Monzemon via Numemon WITHOUT THE CHEAP FREEBIE COSTUME DIGIVOLUTION. It isn’t hard to get any of the ultimates. I’ve gotten all of the possible ones, including Vademon. You just have to understand how necessary parameters and bonus conditions work. That’s it. Sadly this guy and all the people he talked about seeing complain online do not understand the mechanics of this game at all.
