Find Elder Dragons And Deviants Under 10m Each In Monster Hunter Stories 2. Super Rare High Rank Den

A good chunk of the monster hunter stories 2 endgame is filling your monstie compendium
And that requires getting every single elder dragon and deviant.
The problem with that is unless all other monsters, you can’t make them retreat and they even don’t show in dens normally.
The only elder dragon you can get in a regular or rare high rank den is nergigante.
For everything else you only have two options:
Playing super rare multiplayer expeditions
Or finding a super rare high rank monster den.
The problem of super rare MP expeditions is that they aren’t easy to access.
There are only three methods:
To join someone online sharing one.
To buy a ticket using 100 bottle caps.
To find one ticket in an online expedition.
The expedition method is quick the first few times because the game gives you a lot of free bottle caps while doing the elder lair but once you are out of tickets, you must grind.
Finding super rare dens is hard while playing normally because the spawn rate is low very very low.
But luckily you can brute force it and raise your chances if you are smart about it.
The only requirement you need to search super rare dens is to be in high rank and own a flying monstie.
A flying monstie hugely helps because when you fast travel while flying, you will start flying at an elevated position.
From there you can move up or forward to a view where you can spot almost the full map of the area.
Super rare dens are of a lighting diamond white very easy to spot at any distance at a small glance.
Even in a couple of maps you don’t even have to move at all and can scout from where you spawn.
In these cases looking at all the dens is lighting fast in less than five seconds.
And you can teleport back and back to the same spot and repeat over and over.
How long does it take this method to find a super rare den?
In my experience it takes on average 7 minutes to find a rare den.
My record has been 5 minutes in the Terga zone.
At worst it has taken me 15 minutes.
I recommend this method for the areas of Hakolo Island, Alcala and Tega the most.
This is because they offer an almost complete vision of the whole map and makes spotting super rare every where easy.
Worst is without doubt the ice region.
The ice region has two problems that make this method don’t work:
The first one is that the zone is huge and the terrain is very uneven. This causes that you only can watch a few dens from the spawning point and most are hidden.
Then, there is the problem that the den color is white like the snow making it hard to quickly spot.
This makes finding super rares there almost impossible.
Because of that I recommend you to spare your super rare expedition tickets for snow missions.
This brings another important point. Not all areas give you the same monsties.
For example, in the jungle you can find kirin, Razorwind or Teostra. In Alcala you can find Kushala Daora and Velkhana can be found of all places in the volcano.
With this and the online expeditions for the other zones you will be able to complete your collection in a couple days of grinding.
Hope it was of help to you!
And see you in the hunt!

[@caoslayer]

To make it clear, this works the best when you spawn, rotate watching the whole zone without moving and port back taking about 5 seconds. If you move around a lot or start doing other things like mining, this will not work since it works under the big numbers principle. If the chance of a SR den is 0.1% that means only 1 of every 1000 dens will be super rare. If you can spot like 10 dens in one try, then it will take in average of 100 tries, 500 seconds that gives an average of 8 minutes. I rounded it to 10 minutes to account for loading times or being slower. But since my personal firsthand experience with this and the math, I can't believe the comments saying "I tried this for 20 hours", specially when the video is less than two days and that would mean to have been playing for 10 hours a day doing this and only this.

In case anyone was curious, the Deviants and Elders found in each area's Super Rare dens are: Hakolo: Silverwind, Teostra Alcala: Grimclaw, Kushala Loloska: Thunderlord, Velkhana Lamure: Bloodbath Terga: Dreadqueen, Teostra, Velkhana Kirin can be found in all locations, and Alcala and Loloska also have Rajang, with him being most common in Loloska. Nergigante can be found in any location in Rare and normal High Rank dens, but seems to be more common in Terga.

I was lucky for my first super rare den. Just after finishing the game, i went on the plains of the first village and I saw one, got a rainbow Kirin that was guarded by a silver-wind nargacuga!

[@artemkoropotkin3047]

I don't agree with your point about how difficult it is to get SR expedition tickets. Get yourself any variant of a nargacuga (for the stealth ability) and grab a few N expedition tickets. Pray for the gathering charm that gives you a 20% increase in rare gathering items to appear (for more blue chests to appear which have a chance of dropping an SR ticket) and head straight in to the normal expedition. Once in stealth up ignore everything and head straight for the chests. Each run gives you between 30 - 50 bottle caps and takes approximately 3 - 4 minutes to complete. On top of that each blue chest has a chance of getting you an SR ticket.

[@Dovahkiin6798]

Thx so much

[@MightyRathalos90]

or, for many areas, teleport, ping nest search and go to the map. dont need to hope the den is visible due to walls. Works great especially for the flower area and terga

[@shufflebox814]

I gave up after a couple of hours of doing this in terga. I prefer to use a gathering charm and just play co-op normally from that point. If you get lucky you'll get a SR ticket from a blue chest, and if not then you still usually tend to build up bottle caps from normal chests at a decent speed, plus the reward bottle caps from clearing explorations. Really just depends on how confident you are in your luck.

[@solomon9655]

I got lucky and found 2 super rare dens back-to-back. I never saw any again.

[@erikdavis1646]

I've been doing this in the first region and the alcala region since I learned about SR dens, and in my experience your 0.1% chance it about right. It normally takes me around 1,000 den spawns to see one on average. I've gone as few as 500 or so and as many as 3,000, but I average around 1,000.

Thank you for posting this! I was able to find 2 super rare dens after about an hour of resetting total.

[@halesFG]

I've done this for a collective like 10 hours and haven't found one, was quicker to just run expeditions and farm bottle caps tbh

[@Qballiz2kool]

Agreed, Super High Rank Dens are definitely not the way to go for farming elder dragons. Your much better off just farming bottle caps, as it’s MUCH faster to just go through a den, grab all of the chests, and leave, rinse and repeat. Speaking of it being faster, he says it takes 7 minutes using his method to find a Super HR Den, but that’s completely false given how rare they are, now compare this to just going into a Bronze Den, here’s an example to help my point here: Let’s say your main goal is to farm bottle caps, obviously you’d utilize a Nargacuga and just run around a Bronze den avoiding all combat just collecting the chests then leaving once you’ve collected them all, now CaosSlayer says it takes about 10 minutes to finish up a den on the last comment of this video, that is false, it WOULD take you 10 minutes if you say fought everything in the den while collecting every chest, but your not going to be doing that because the purpose of being in the den is to just collect the chests, so of course your going to want to avoid every fight. So let’s say you go through the den with a Nargacuga collecting every chest, this from the runs I’ve done takes you about 2 to 3 minutes a run. (For this example we’ll say 3 minutes) Now let’s say it takes you 3 dens to get 100 bottle caps, that’s 3 minutes a den leading to 9 minutes to get 100 bottle caps. Now let’s compare this to his strategy here, he says it takes about 7 minutes to find a Super Rare HR Den, that is completely false because of how rare they are, it COULD theoretically take you 7 minutes, but you would have to be *extremely* lucky, seeing as how from what I’ve been reading in the comments because of how rare these dens are it can take hours or even days before you even see your first one, the time just fluctuates way too much to definitively say it takes about 7 minutes to find a Super Rare HR Den utilizing his method.

[@VinnyDupree]

@@Qballiz2kool Exactly this. I said something similar up in the comments. I can't believe this video has so many upvotes, tbh. Not just because it's a piss poor way of farming Elder and Deviant eggs and no sane person would ever recommend people on KZbin to farm them via this method, but also because of the annoying auto-read voice he's put over it rather than just record his own damned voice or simply add subtitles. XD

[@chrisdrake512]

So, I've tried this method and the result, while is not 100% satisfying, is still interesting. Since I'm half idiot, I've decided to try it at Loloska (the worst area) and I've managed to find 3 Super Rare Dens in roughly a bit more than an hour. While an hour has passed between my first and second SR den, I've took one or two minutes to find the third one (heavy RNG, indeed) Going for SR Expedition is decidedly more worthy but this alternative method shouldn't be discarded. I think is worthy trying: 1) If You're bored, lazy or if you're doing something else in the meantime 2) If you aren't leveled enough to slay quickly Elders or Deviants 3) If you're out of Bottle Caps for any reason. I'd still give a thumb up and sharing this "plan B" to my friends!

I’ve tried farming for these before and it’s taken literal hours before I’ve found *one* while I can go through say 3 Bronze Dens utilizing a Nargacuga and finish those in on average about 3 minutes each, honestly this method you propose seems pretty bad when compared to just doing the Broze Dens to collect bottle caps to get SR tickets, heck you don’t even need a super endgame monster, you could literally use a lvl 1 Nargacuga to quickly get though the den to get the chests then leave, rinse and repeat until you have enough to purchase a SR ticket. And you say in the video utilizing your method you can find a Super Rare HR Den in about 10 minutes yea……there’s no way.

[@Haunted-Amelia]

My personal experience is that SR dens themselves take a lot of time unless you are lvl70, add to that the time to farm bottlecaps in rare dens, you need about three rares to gather the caps.

Just no. Please do not listen to this. You are better off doing SR expeditions, this is just infinitely slower in every way. Bottle caps aren’t an issue end game at all. All you have to do is run normal or rare expeditions doing it locally and collect bottle caps from the chests which you can easily get 20+ per run. If you don’t wanna use expedition tickets you can just do the elder or deviant slay multiplayer quests but do local. Trying to get a super rare den to spawn is just so much slower than it is to just quickly farm a 100 bottlecaps. Honestly worst advice i’ve seen for this game.

[@caoslayer]

Let's say that you are getting between 25 and 30 caps per journey. This means you need to do four runs. Since you are opening every chest and going around all the map, it should take at least 10 minutes per run if your character is around level 50 and also taking the eggs. That is for just getting a golden ticket.. you then need to clear the SR den. That is a lot of time. Even if you cut the times to half of this, it would still take 25 minutes. Doing SR Expeditions is better if you have the endgame builds, enough bottles or can find a SR Expedition online.

[@Qballiz2kool]

@@caoslayer You can literally use a Nargacuga to skip every fight in the Den, and on another note you don’t even have to finish the boss at the end of the den, once you’ve gotten all chests you can just leave and start up a new one if you don’t get enough bottle caps to purchase a SR ticket, it’s much faster and your Guaranteed to get at least one SR ticket out of it where with farming for Super HR Dens your not even guaranteed to get one because of how low the spawn rates are for them. On top of that you say it takes 7 minutes using your method to find a SR HR den, well utilizing a Nargacuga you can finish a bronze den in 3 or even 2 minutes just gathering the chests and leaving, thus making that method better because your literally guaranteed to get the 100 bottle caps needed to purchase an SR ticket, unlike searching for Super HR Dens where you could literally sit for hours and never find one because their so rare. Also, you say it takes 10 minutes per run when farming for bottle caps, that is false because utilizing a Nargacuga and just collecting the chests then leaving only takes about 2 to 3 minutes so…….how are you even coming to the conclusion that it takes 10 minutes per run?. I could see it taking 10 minutes or more if your literally fighting everything you come across AND fighting the final monster at the end, but if your farming for bottle caps your not going to do any of those things, your whole objective is to get in, collect the chests as quickly as possible while avoiding every encounter because it waists time when doing a bottle cap farming run, and get out so you can load up another one if you didn’t get enough bottle caps that run. So let’s say hypothetically you have to do say 3 Bronze Den runs to get 100 bottle caps, and say your utilizing a Nargacuga since your only objective is to get the chests, and let’s say you avoid all combat and successfully collect every chest, on average it *should* realistically take you about 2 to 3 minutes per run (for the sake of this example we’ll say 3 because maybe you gathered some stuff along the way) so that’s 3 runs to get 100 bottle caps all 3 runs taking 3 minutes each, that’s 9 minutes, in 9 minutes your able to collect 100 bottle caps unlike the Super High Rank Dens that you say can be found in 7 minutes, that’s incorrect because of how rare they are, you could literally be sitting for hours and never find one, even utilizing your method here. And you talk about picking up eggs……who in their right mind would pick up the eggs in a Bronze Den when their main objective is to farm bottle caps, it just waists time and the monsties you get from it aren’t worth it, honestly man I don’t think you know what your talking about at all.

[@Thotacus]

@@caoslayer If you are farming for bottlecaps how in the world do you come to the conclusion of 10 minutes per run? If im just starting normal expeditions there is literally no reason to pick up the eggs since the whole point would be farming the bottlecaps not the eggs, especially when the eggs would be trash. Even the elder and deviant online quests will give the same amount of caps without needing to use a ticket. At most it’ll take you a few minutes per bottlecap run, no way its gonna take 10 per run when your only goal is caps there. Loot all chests, return, and repeat. Also doesnt seem like you can really do math either.

[@blackfairy8168]

Also for the best method are the SR expeditions and the farming of bottle caps ... off line 8 hours zero SRD.

which fast travel do you use in the desert?

damn i'll try this thanks for the help

[@maryceleste_aghost]

I don't know in Alaca i should check high land or not and we have limited view range make even worse at Alaca. With Terga we have den near desert seltas queen is hard to check

[@TheFluffyTheropod]

Jeez, you’re unbelievably lucky. I spent over 10 hours refreshing terga with no luck (Edit) wait you can find Teostra in hakolo and Velkhana in Terga? I thought Teostra was in Terga, and Velkhana in Loloska

[@caoslayer]

I think you can see the eggs at the end. You may get the egg of any elder or deviant you find at the end of a SR.

[@HuyLe-dl4fm]

it's actually RNG, because I got both Teostra and Velkhana in Tergar Volcanic base in SR dens.

@@HuyLe-dl4fm interesting, I’ve never seen that!

do i have to beat the deviant and elder dragon side quest to get this?

[@Nesetera]

Wouldn't Nest Search help with searching Super Rares on the snow biome since it ignores the terrain? Or the range still a bigger detriment than flying?

[@caoslayer]

It forces you to hover all the nests so you spend a lot of time and the range is not awesome.

[@juracan8591]

I don't think Nest Search distinguishes common, rare or super rare nests on the minimap. So far I just fly down from the Glacial Peaks travel point while keeping an eye on the ground. I wish we had a button to free look in this game without altering our flight trajectory.

[@Nesetera]

@@juracan8591 It does say the type of den when you check the map

[@John-ii6he]

@@Nesetera yeah theres a youtuber who was just in hakolo and particularly start island in the northern part and he found one by nest search and was entirely shocked. lol, did so by map, i used this method to test my luck in terga. didnt work well tho. ;/

[@Nesetera]

@@John-ii6he I think Nest Search method would work the best in Terga but even then you could just rotate the camera and it would still be similar times. Unfortunately you can still get dunked by RNG, I've tried 4 times searching for it for usually 1h30~2h and nothing.

when do super rare dens show up? do i have to beat the deviants and the elders first?

[@tfpshockwave5810]

Once you beat the game and can do high rank stuff they should show up. I found one by a stoke of luck and got Thunderlord before i even did the pink Rathian quest that leads into the deviants.

at worst taken you 15 minutes? there's KZbinrs with 200+ hours and have only found one... lmao

This method takes that you are spending only 5 seconds looking for dens before warping back. Casually finding a den in the wild is looooooow indeed.

[@thats4thebirds]

I have like 40 hours in post game and I still have not seen a super rare den lmao Are you supposed to trigger these or is it literally any time after starting HR?

Yes. But basically you only will see one every 1000 dens.
