Monster Rancher 2: Beating the Game with Gaboo

[@KutuKuFred]

whoa man.. this monster used to scare me when i'm a kid.. i remember its the strongest monster on E rank (oakley?).. such a nostalgia.. thanx for uploading these videos.. :)

[@teawch]

Oakleyman

[@rdu239]

AI controlled gaboo are super cheap, always hitting you no matter how high your speed is Oakleyman with his straight Recknen with his backblow Ordorf with his long straight

[@DanTheMack95]

The best monster I ever raised was a purebred Gaboo. Thought it'd amount to nothing. 999 in Power, Speed AND Life, and 550 Skill to go with it? I'll never underestimate the truth again. Ridiculous monster.

[@michaelberlim]

DAMN THIS KZbin ACCOUNT NEED TO BE APPRECIATE MORE! NO ONE EXPLAIN EVERYTHING BETTER THAN YOU. OMG YOUR THE BEST

[@konimaru02]

After raising suezo and finishing the game I tried this guide and man I've raise a monster gaboo. 800 health 900 pow/speed/def now I'm just racking cash with my guy hahaha. Thanks again for this.

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

1:42 -- did Gaboo just do the dab, long before it was popularized?

[@fanitriastowo]

Yup

[@XX-vu5jo]

Lol its not a dab its a common body building pose as gaboo portrays a muscle man monster dufus

[@Ace-Vincent-Arevalo]

this fooking game is more complicated that what it looks. i cant imagine an 11 yr old kid can comprehend/figure out all of those hidden agendas and mechanics in this game. a very advanced game compared to other ps1 games in its time. my fave monster is pixie+dragon combination 😀

[@teawch]

I don't think an 11 yr old can figure that out either. I remember when I was 11, the highest I could get was Rank C and I cried when my monster died

[@SaxoUrbanoLucasOyola]

@@teawch cried too

[@hotshowerh2o356]

I'm 17, and the fusion process specifically seems really hard to keep track in terms of stat alignment and which monsters to fuse to gain a 2nd generation monster that has more than 200 in a stat.

[@boitahaki]

That feeding animation never gets old

[@reipratam4]

Thanks man. You're a lifesaver!

[@Hunyango_007]

my fav and oldest monster was a plain gaboo, he is my first monster to reach a 999 stats too back then when mostly everyone has no idea what they are doing lol

[@WexMajor82]

The fun part is that my monster rarely lived past their 2nd year. This game hides too many info from you.

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

My gaboo got the old prompt at 3 Kinda bummed me out when he said they reach adulthood at 3

[@ikhwanmauaja1184]

My dark time

[@Mankizen]

when played this. i never using mint and oil nuts, i just let it rest. so the highest i can archive is a class battle.

[@slib4646]

yo my man hitting the whip in the hall of fame

[@edmondsantos8293]

I won't forget how this monster ask for food😆

[@legionbeast]

While a pain to raise the skill, it really makes up for it with Long Punch being an S class hitting move with C grade damage and basically will carry you through most fights. Raise the HP, the Speed, the Power and you only need to hit once.

[@haolong324]

can you do jell/monol? loved that thing when i first played this game but only now knew how to train them properly

[@CalebePriester]

Can you give some tips on raising a mocchi? I'm really enjoying these videos, MR2 is one of my favorite games even to this day! I also like MR4, but 2 has a especial place in my heart ^^

[@teawch]

There are many ways to raise Mocchis, since they don't have any real weakness, you can focus on any stat while raising them. For this method, I'm assuming that you've raised some monsters in the game already, so you have around 20,000G to raise a Mocchi This method focuses on using Power type techniques on Mocchi Monthy food: Tablet Training before 300 Power: 1wk: Nuts Oil + Pull 2wk: Mint Leaf + Shoot 3wk: Nuts Oil + Pull 4wk: Mint Leaf + Shoot After reaching 300 Power, you can start doing Errantry (when you do Errantry, feed your Mocchi the same items as in 6:57-8:13 of this video) The techniques you want to get are: Roll Assault (Mandy), Press (Mandy), Roll Attack (Papas), Thrust (Torble Sea) Do D-class official cup and advance to C-class when you get the chance Also, change the training routine to: 1wk: Nuts Oil + Pull 2wk: Mint Leaf + Shoot 3wk: Nuts Oil + Pull 4wk: Mint Leaf + Dodge If you're low on money, you can switch out any of the drills in this routine to do battle (don't forget to feed Nuts Oil before and after battle) Once Power reaches 500, battle B-class official cup to advance to A-class Once your Mocchi's Power reaches 600, switch to this routine 1wk: Nuts Oil + Pull 2wk: Mint Leaf + Shoot 3wk: Nuts Oil + Leap 4wk: Mint Leaf + Endure If you have any Peaches, feed the Peaches to your Mocchi when you notice that the gains from the Pull drill when Spd-3 goes from [Pow+17 or Pow+15] to [Pow+16 or Pow+14] Do S-class official cup once your Mocchi's Power reaches 800

[@teawch]

This method focuses on using Int type techniques on Mocchi It will be hard to battle in the early stages, but your Mocchi will hit a power spike when it reaches B-rank and learns Mocchi Ray Monthly food: Tablet Training before 300 Int: 1wk: Nuts Oil + Meditate 2wk: Mint Leaf + Shoot 3wk: Nuts Oil + Meditate 4wk: Mint Leaf + Shoot After reaching 300 Int, you can start doing Errantry (when you do Errantry, feed your Mocchi the same items as in 6:57-8:13 of this video) The techniques you want to get are: Petal Swirl (Papas), Licking (Parepare) Also, change the training routine to: 1wk: Nuts Oil + Meditate 2wk: Mint Leaf + Shoot 3wk: Nuts Oil + Leap 4wk: Mint Leaf + Shoot Do D-class official cup when your Mocchi's Int reaches 350 and C-class official cup when Int reaches 450 After winning C-class official cup and getting to B-class, do Kawrea Errantry to learn Mocchi Ray Mocchi Ray is the most important technique of Int Mocchi, it does decent damage and has high hit chance You can easily win B-class battles after getting Mocchi Ray After Skill reaches 700, switch the training routine to: 1wk: Nuts Oil + Meditate 2wk: Mint Leaf + Run 3wk: Nuts Oil + Leap 4wk: Mint Leaf + Endure If you have any Peaches, feed the Peaches to your Mocchi when you notice that the gains from the Pull drill when Def-3 goes from [Int+17 or Int+15] to [Int+16 or Int+14] Do A-class official cup, then S-class when your Mocchi's Int reaches 800 Hope this helps!

[@ChillinFuckinSippin]

@@teawch yo thank you so much bro for this guides, I've been binging your "beating the game with x monster" IDK why it's so addicting LOL. I'm currently playing on PS1 Emu in my phone and currently raising zuum following your guide! I remember playing this on our PS1 with my big bro, so much memories of this game. Thank you so much!

[@ershin_chaos5815]

Why the cup jelly if it battled? Watching this video brought back a lot of memories. I wish they kept making the games.

[@teawch]

To save money. Cup Jellies reduce less stress than Tablets, but they're cheaper. If the Gaboo battled during the month, the accumulated stress will be low, so Cup Jelly will be enough to reduce all the stress.

[@stevenmorton2059]

My first Legend Cup winner was a Gaboo.

[@lucifergoku4612]

Thank you so much for the trick !

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

Mine got to A rank and retired. I think I took him on too many errantries, that's why. He was a good boy. Now he will soon be fusion fodder.

[@bubalackgaming8892]

It's too bad there are no Gaboo subtypes

[@abdurrahman363]

I always combine gaboo with tiger, i just hate to deal with a monster with poor skill gain.

[@arsenelupin9147]

i love all your videos man. Btw, do you know how do i get Death Thrust tech for Centaur?

[@teawch]

Your Centaur needs to use Stab-Throw 50 times in battle and have Bad nature (or Worst) to be able to learn Death Thrust in Mandy Errantry

[@arsenelupin9147]

teawch Thanks man! How did you know all this? Can you recommend a website about monster rancher 2?

[@teawch]

Arsene Lupin gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/197977-monster-rancher-2/faqs/41786 90% of what I know comes from this guide, the other 10% comes from 700+ hours of gameplay

[@diegorizky5694]

How you get to November without spend money ?

[@teawch]

I raised a Zuum for 3 months, feeding it only potatoes (- 10G each month), then sold it to the market for 50G (so I got 20G profit) I repeated the process again until I got to December (I didn't get money from my 3rd Zuum because it was less than 10 weeks old)

[@viegar1904]

What is the final stats?

[@teawch]

I don't remember the exact numbers, but the final stats should be around Lif: 650 Pow: 800 Int: 20 Ski: 450 Spd: 600 Def: 700

[@Acridobject]

is it possible to obtain a dokoo?

[@teawch]

Yes, get a Gaboo and combine it with a Joker

[@Acridobject]

@@teawch is it possible to get a joker or dokoo through the shrine? i cant find any information on that

[@teawch]

Yes it's possible. You just need the right CDs. I use the method on this website to burn the CD with the monster I want: legendcup.com/mfmrmcoop.php

[@stevenmorton2059]

This technique won't work quite as well in the PAL and patched versions of the game, as it employs the Swim Bug, which is present in the NTSC versions of the game. So if you're playing a Gaboo in this game and for some reason you find your Gaboo's DEF gains in Swim sucking horribly compared to this video, you'll know why.

[@Order-Sol]

Try Beating a Game with Kato and you know how I really feel. loling

[@phosphor3617]

so I don't have to Rest as an adult... damn, too much time wasted raising shit monsters before I learned this
