Didn't realize I was here so early.
Got cyber punk and this on same day.
Have only been playing MS
O interesting how many bugs you have on that game ?
Please tell me you got cyberpunk on the pc?
lol same. I got both games at the same time and have about 1 hour in CP and about 60 hours in MS
@@rafalb692 only played like 30 minute total and one bug where it is a quest objective loop, talk to guy... That I've already talked to.
@@nazeersadek6705 Xbox. And I don't see why people are mad at cyberpunk because I haven't played it 😂🤣 MS is becoming one of my all time favorites, right with stardew and monster rancher
Really like this mechanic! Aside from battle impact it definitely helps keep everybody's playthrough feel more personal.
I love this game, I have 1000 hours in Temtem and MS is amazing. Never would have found it without this channel!
This video are very helpful for new player that bought the game after official release.Thanks for posting this and explaining how it works.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
@Edgar Andres instablaster ;)
@Ezra Joe thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ezra Joe It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
@Edgar Andres glad I could help xD
Didn't even realize Monster Sanctuary *had* a pseudo-shiny system. Neat.
The shifting mechanic puts a new spin on monster taming games and I love it
Hey Gym Leader Ed, thanks for keeping the community content going for indie RPG games. Also, it's funny Monster Sanctuary letting people alternate the monsters appearance with a item.
one of my favorite strategies is using any monster with leadership, a monster with heal charging and then a dps usually spinner/brutus/manticorb/specter etc so that u end up 5*ing champion battles and some even 6*
I've always liked it when there's lore or in-world depth behind variants (Dragon Quest slimes being my favourite example). They clearly knew what they were doing with the shift stone's Yin-Yang allusion. Pokémon's anime sometimes gets into it, but origins behind most shinies are still unknown.
This honestly what convinced me to get this game, I can't wait to get far enough to be able to start shifting
I was doing my best to avoid watching this to keep away from spoilers, but I became intrigued after the interview you did with the devs. The Shifting system is so interesting and I had no idea related to fighting. What a great personal way to personalize your monster. I think I will rush playing MS now!
Also Happy 9K 🎆!!
Thank you!!!
I gotta say as a long time hate type of UA-cam....this video is perfect for me. You talk fast but clear. You double tap on points made earlier when there is a direct counter..... nice job.
Light-Shifted monsters with Utopia are a really nice addition to any team *Grants 3 charges to every party member at the start of the turn (1 charge stack increases your monster's next attack damage by 3% so that's a free 9% you're getting for your next attack, and charges can stack ontop of one another so long you haven't attacked so you can literaly set up your buffs/shields first to farm some charge stacks and then hit with the force of a vengefull Brutus)*
Cool, very helpful. Do the shifted monsters have other Advantages besides the additional passive effect?
More or less just the passive and some stat boosts, not all shifts seem to be created equal however, like Dark Brutus is far more powerful then Light Brutus because of the Relentless passive which makes skills a quarter cheaper to use (Brutus has poor mana regeneration) and a two point boost to Brutus’ already massive attack stat compared to the one point of boost Light has but Light does have three points boost over Dark, but Dark also has more defense and health.
Like some math, Brutus can boost heavy punch to about 130% extra (it already does 565% of physical damage), wit items, the crit chance reaches at least 93% and damage at least 95%, and will ignore 10% of DR, if the enemy survives the first it the second will ignore 35% of DR, now add on charge stacks that boost damage by another, 3/4% per stack,
a monster like Dark Targoat that can boost Brutus equipped items effects by 30% via Blacksmithing the Dark passive and Armory skill tree passive and the combo system and you will be lookin at a heavy punch that will pretty much always crit, and always deal at least double damage, and for numbers you will be looking at potentially near 50,000 damage for a single attack, and for reference most bosses only get around 39,000 health max, and if it is a monster that is weak to neutral attacks, your looking at closer to 60,000 damage.
Personally I like using, in this order only for increased combo damage, light fungi, dark vasuki, and dark specter. Fungi skills should be focused on additional debuff stacks, chance to debuff per hit skills along with every all additional procs, the one autoheal on the left most skill tree is nice. The idea for me was to stack poison and when not doing poison spam spire to proc tons off additional hits which in turn will proc more debuffs. 2nd is dark vasuki. Build him the same basically all debuffs,stacking debuffs and high hit procs and debuff procs. Focus on burn an poison and get the restores for your lights heals and debuff removal to make the lengthier of fights. (This build stacks massive damage so longevity isn't the aim here, as much as surviving longer than your enemy) vasuki can posion if fungi don't stick poisions of you can use burn to start the burn stacks for specter. Oh and vasuki has fire shield which not only is decent shielding for the team but it also cast burn on a random enemy...3rd is specter, you want his skills to compliment and top off the debuffing especially burn. There are 2, if I'm not mistaken, increased burn damage skill that just eat huge chucks of of health from any enemy. I also like to max out dark specters arcane beam thingy to finish of the huge combo chain and just proc a ridiculous amount of debuffs. Just make sure when ur getting everyone's skill to get all the skill that are setup up like " 10 % chance to add so and so debuff every hit" or "10% chance to add a random debuff every hit" with vasuki and specter in dark shift, they both have the dark passive skill debuff mastery which makes the DoTs really really pay out.
Not a bad guide. I just binged like 12 hours figuring out the fight rate mechanic. 5 star never been so easy
Great video. Have you made it to the abandoned tower? There is a chest that is seemingly inaccessible. It looks as though you have to fly to it. However, even with an improved flying monster you can't reach it.
Probably flying mount or grapple?
Shiny pokemon are in the first game you just need to connect it to pokemon stadium. Some of the pokemon in stadium are the wrong color and if you name your pokemon the same name as that pokemon when you play pokemon stadium your pokemon will be the wrong color as well. But they did start the actual shiny mechanic in the second game because you can make any pokemon a shiny in red and blue if you give it the right name.
I have a L.4 Gray Pearl, which is a yellow acc with really good stats on all attributes but only for unshifted monsters... It makes your mob pretty OP stat wise but doesn't give perks. I wonder if there will be more similar items?
Please make a video on where to get shift and switch stones!!
A very good and informative video like always Ed 😃👍🏻 and congrats on passing 9K 🥳
Thanks!!
Is it even a "shiny system" anymore if its an actual part of gameplay and you can change it? In Pokémon terms, that would be like saying the different colors of Arceus or Silvally are shiny since its a color difference but its not, its a part of the gameplay
the reason he calls it shiny system, because people that not playde the game would get confused what he is talking about .
Finally today I win the final boss battle (I dont spoiler it). This game is hard but I think a one boss is too hard.
But I enjoyed the game.
The game is hard. That's an aspect of the game i greatly appreciate.
@@alchymy6228 I feel the most of the game. Except zosimos. I want never fight him Ufff...
@@dresete2 i thought you might be talking about that fight. That one was super rough. I mean the final boss was easier than him lmao
I cheesed alot of the end with thornfish have like 650 defense and 5k hp 😅
I wish I could refund Temtem and use the money to buy this one
I really want manticorb red shiny
I like the monster sanctuary system more than pokemon's because of the buffs it gives. And because it's not as rare.
Also, don't you think it would have been better to show which monster have which passive instead of just listing the passives?
Would ya could upgrading items please (I have not upgraded at all yet because not sure if I want to upgrade items I have already or hold on my materials for better items to upgrade)? be it a video if it is a longer answer or just reply to my comment please?
Your progress will be much faster and more successful if you go ahead and upgrade your most used items, leading you to earn more/better equipments later in the game. You can earn potentially infinite equipment from Reward Boxes and defeating monsters in battle (usually have to get at least 4-6 stars as a rating)
Also you can buy materials based on your trainer rank, so don't be afraid that you'll have to go back and grind for everything back by battling.
If you happen to be playing on pc, you can go-to the infinity arena or pvp and farm reward boxes...now each reward box has its own set of rare equipment (the item icon has yellow border) in each lvl of reward boxes.
Now for the trick, open the box and if you dont like what you get hit alt+f4, this will close the game without saving. Then reload and reopen the box until you get the desired item (check wiki for reward box item pools). The game only saves when you save and quit from the menu, or you zone onto another screen. So just make sure you don't zone screens after you open the box and you can rinse and repeat for the drops you want/need! I'm sure this can be done on console, but I would assume it would be substantially longer due to the logistics of quiting with letting the game save. Btw your equips play a huuuuge role in the game stats wise. Like the previous reply was mentioning, generally try to keep the gear up to its part according to your progress in the game, traders u lock item tiers as your increase you keeper rank.
sooooooo light lion or dark lion ?
Light
so this is the evolve mechanic as well? but just a sidestep instead of a clear progression
They also have an evolution mechanic, but it's more of a transformation than a direct upgrade
@@GymLeaderEd how does that differ from shifting? or does each type have shifts within itself available?
@@jhon1406 evolution completely changes the monster into another one. This ain't always a direct upgrade as the new monster tend to play differently. Heres a vid for reference :) ua-cam.com/video/P2tDORvOBlk/v-deo.html
@@GymLeaderEd thanks so much!
@@jhon1406 no problem:)
Can the same monster have different shift abilities ?
You can either shift light or dark
Negative, each monster has its own specific passive ability for light and one passive for dark. Those always remain the same but vary from monster to monster
@@xenomorph420 I must be misinterpreting the question. I guess they were asking if one monster could have like 2 dark passives? In that case no
@@GymLeaderEd no worries buddy. Between the both of us, i sure we got it covered lol
For me, it's Dark Shifted Yowie, Dark Shifted Shockhopper then either dark shifted Fungi or dark shifted Imori. Otherwise known as 'all the DoTs'.
Dark Yowie gets Overheal, which works with the passive heals from Supply, as well as his AoE active heal. This means he can use his group heal and not worry about 'wasting' it if only one party member is really hurt. Taunt + Icy Skin gives him a way of passively spreading Chilled, which with his Congeal aura, means more damage over time.
Shockhopper gets Curse Chain, which makes up for the fact that all of his attacks are single-target, which normally makes it more difficult to spread them. But with multi-chill and multi-shock, and now the ability to proc them on other enemies as well, this gets nasty fast. Don't neglect Auto Restore to remove debuffs and DoTs almost as fast as enemies can pile them on! This is also your primary healer and debuff remover with the Restore skill tree. You don't need Mass Restore with Yowie in the party and with debuffs getting removed every time you attack. It also synergizes very well with Yowie's Congealed aura, by being able to apply multiple stacks of Chill and thus multiple triggers of Congealed.
For the last slot, it depends on what enemies are vulnerable to. Fungi of course spreads poison and weakness, and makes debuffed enemies take additional damage in the bargain. Imori is for when you're running into things weak against physical (dragons and goblins, for example) or you feel like spreading even more Chill and Burn instead of Poison and Weakness, plus pile on Bleed stacks.
The last two monsters in the party can be whatever you like to sub in. I'm currently using a neutral Scorch for more fire spread and burn stacking. You only get the one egg, it starts off neutral, so you have to spend a Shift Stone to manually shift it, and neither of his shifts seems particularly appealing for my play style. The final one I'm using is a Dark shifted Catzerker, because memes, even though it really is starting to not really compare, so I'm going to probably get rid of it at some point. Maybe a dark-shifted Occulus for general debuff stacking?
I honestly feel like people should stop thinking about Pokémon when playing this game it honestly reminds me more of a SMT more than Pokémon a lot more
weird comparison ,but its okay if you think that.
Yea it's less like pokemon and lore like other RPGs.the reason I use pokemon as a measure for comparison is because of its overwhelming popularityand influence on the genre as a whole. My goal is to show pokemon fans that their are alternatives/ games to supplement their library
I kinda screwed myself a bit and had to erase and start over since THEY DID NOT TELL YOU THAT EXPLORING IS BAD.
When I took on Zami on the tower he was level 30... I was 24. It is stupid tbh. I loved it until the alchemists scaled to 30 and one shot my team so many times I gave up.
Scaling is well... Bad tbh.
Ouch lol I didnt run into that problem personally, but I can imagine that would suck haha
@@GymLeaderEd in the reddit almost everyone has an issue with that guy in one way or another. The dev really should balance him a bit better. All he does is dots and debuffs. Metacrituc is the same way. Great up until... Zom.
Seeing a theme here.
@@ryproar11 hahaha I definetely got decked by him too
Enemy scaling is based on what lvl you happen to be when you enter an area. When you enter an area for the first time, the monsters will be at ur current lvl or close to it. With that in mind, once you enter an area the monsters in that area no longer scale up with you as you lvl passed that lvl. As far as you getting to an end game area and calling those endgame monsters at a low lvl cuz ur at a low lvl, well that's balanced out with the greatest exploration framework to ever grace human existence, one word.... metroidvania!!! xD
@@xenomorph420 well I guess I am deleting the game then. I will play something a bit more interesting to me. If I am not having fun it is not worth the time. If others like it fine but many do not. Like I said I find it odd there is a scaling involving these mechanics since it is not explained. But I digress. I am done with the game. I am back to playing Nioh 2 since I find the game more challenging and entertaining. Indie devs are fine but they need to look at main stream games and understand why they do so well. Many players work and have kids and won't spend time on a game that will give them grief or hardship since life does that already.
Oh and metroidvania games are good but I would not say greatest.
shifting isn't even close to the same as shiny
Hi, i know this video is kinda old but i am hoping someone can help me. I am having trouble understanding how to hunt for specific shifted monsters. i have been hunting either shifted form of ninki nanka, killing a trio with two of them in it, and then using a bell to respawn them. i feel like it just respawns the same exact monsters and it will never be shifted? i’m so confused.
I dont think that there's a specific pattern, but at that point I would just use a stone lol😂
