What lvl should my monster be to beat it? Also what lvl for tigrex

[@wadecombs5892]

I have a nesting charm L

[@redswet2789]

Dude… fist bulb I love zinogre I feel you bro

[@ashleyjohnson2059]

Thank you so much for these guides! I took down Tigrex for the first time with your advice after around 3-4 tries

[@TagBackTv]

Hell Yeah!

[@blackcat09tails55]

I love how even if you leveled yourself up to a high level you can still be challenged by storyline bosses and new monsters

[@CaJuJu]

The save tip is a great time saver! These guides are very helpful.

[@kimmarie346]

Me: sitting here incredibly proud of my Nargacuga. Tag: Here are 5 other even more amazing monsters, go get em all...👀

[@TagBackTv]

gotta catch em all!

[@Svoorhout85]

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.

[@rushakgaming9732]

I tame shiny egg Tigrex in lv18... Lv20 i tame Monolit... Dam i visce versa them. Tigrex is harder

[@rushakgaming9732]

Anjanath glitch in early map also help you alot. *4 monster

[@dhaynes325]

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

[@devilalastor3320]

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

[@Lo-Fi-_-Gaming]

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.

[@rushakgaming9732]

This game like Monster Rancher Evo PS2 and Pokemon itself. And the visual is super enjoyable. Try the game i mention

[@Svoorhout85]

Remember that kinship attacks completely cancel a monsters turn so save them for the ultimate attack they build up to.

[@davidjamesthomas]

zinogre: "no full moon? fine ill make my own to howl at"

[@themeow-sician1664]

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

[@SaintAdjacent]

Zinogre - lives in ice mountain is weak to ice. **GAME LOGIC**

[@ekosubandie2094]

Regular one don't normally wanders there though The Stygian variant on the other hands are native to that region

[@SaintAdjacent]

@@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.

[@derrickhaggard]

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.

[@sandyriver4705]

@@ekosubandie2094 maybe he is on the process to becoming styigian variant

[@AdeptKing]

I think they did that in World also.

[@AdeptKing]

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.

[@ladynoname3621]

Save- I was getting a couple of gold eggs or regular ones, but none rainbow eggs.

[@derrickhaggard]

This is on my to-do-list of things to do before continuing the main story. So thank you for the tips.

[@adrianbuelna1]

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!

[@AzureGhidorah]

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…

[@derrickhaggard]

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.

[@AzureGhidorah]

@@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.

[@kamm3021]

Getting a rainbow egg from retreat den is super hard Took me 30+ resets to get a rainbow egg of tigrex

[@onepikeike6467]

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

[@emilie9043]

These guides are so helpful! Tag helping us get all the good monsties

[@tairoff4555]

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

[@danielsuchyna6232]

Just saw this thing in the wild tried to beat it and got absolutely wrecked 😂 thanks for the guide!!!

[@ladynoname3621]

Me but I went up against the royal monster elephant sleeping peacefully, and Advina's Monstie actually made me lose the battle.

[@LJL-4377]

I killed it first try on my last heart with 1HP left... and it didn't retreat 🤣🥶 Time to try again!

[@ridertravis172]

Thanks so much for the guide! I have my own Zinogre now, named him Jolt!

[@Teddyponsel2626]

I thought tigrex is a speed monstie? How do you make him to keep using power attacks?

[@destinitaylor4360]

I was SO close then that bastard used power attacks when I was just expecting speed and technical 😂

[@Queenofthesevenseas]

Appreciate the video thanks❤ was Abel to defeat Zerg easy just had to try 10 times in order to get the retreat😂

[@kamm3021]

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

[@Queenofthesevenseas]

@@kamm3021 sweet thanks for the suggestion

[@kamm3021]

@@Queenofthesevenseas you're welcome

[@jennuh117]

I love my Zappy Boi!! Thanks for this video Tag, it helped me so much!!

[@gamester512]

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.

[@ryomathebullet4049]

I love watching your Monster Hunter 2 Stories guides keep em coming!!!

[@BREWLIX]

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.

[@derrickhaggard]

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.

[@BREWLIX]

@@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.

[@himegamiJoker]

Thank you so much for making this video! I got rainbow egg zinogre!✨

[@twilighttiger2368]

I love both Zinogre and Barioth!

[@jamiedeering3400]

Whenever I use a trap it always just says traps won't work on this monster

[@Ike7132]

Thank you so much for making this just got my own zab zab boi

[@christopherhu7189]

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.

[@dragonstouch1042]

Doubling is the bane of both Monster Hunter Stories games

[@mandytate1001]

Omg I got the notification!

[@destinitaylor4360]

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

[@maxximuspipicus2247]

You have to win head to heads while riding your monstie to level it up

[@michelleemerick9610]

Excellent tip! 💜

[@rudeondude21]

Love the pit class beast they are the coolest

[@rushakgaming9732]

I think you messed up with chanelling... Isnt it better to get a gold/rainbow one as base to maximize the bingo?

[@Bellumbeck271]

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...

[@HarambetheWhite]

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.

[@TagBackTv]

Good point!

[@melissamills8251]

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.

[@marcel7803]

As of now i have killed 4 Zinogres and none of them wants to retreat so they end up dying 😢

[@The_Maf1a]

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?

[@BigxSexy]

Yes as you level up the prayer pot, you will unlock more prayers.

4:35 Back Attack!? Tony Stark will call out "D**k move". 😝😝

which is stronger in late game? Zinogre or Astalos?

[@lapdapgaming6069]

I did this guy on my first try but got to greedy with egg and it woke up and killed me :/

[@mahelnapo8385]

What level did you do it at

[@HarambetheWhite]

THIS MONSTER KNOWS CHIDORI!!!!! I SHALL CALL HIM KAKASHI

[@derrickhaggard]

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.

Kind of funny i got its egg from a rare den by accident

You didn't mention what level to attempt this at. Kind of important.

[@finalaleks.6663]

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.

[@SamuraiMerrick]

@@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.

[@عبدالرحمنالشيخي-ر2خ]

I love this game

[@darthreven9061]

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.

[@the_silver_trumpet]

It's not spawning for me

[@skycruz3786]

Lol he said getting tigrex

[@frankallen3634]

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

[@mastermikej23]

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

Remember that paintball only lasts for 3 turns. Also, wear rathian armor
