Monster Kingdom

Overview

Monster Kingdom is a zoo type area for monsters that unlocks after clearing Onigashima.
Monsters captured using Monster Pots can be registered and made to live here.
You can take or deposit monsters freely, and monsters registered to Monster Kingdom
return here in the event that they are defeated in a dungeon.

Kingdom Zones

Zones are areas within the Kingdom where you can enjoy viewing registered monsters.
Monsters are organized by family, except for N'dubbas which have individual enclosures.

The sign next to an enclosure provides descriptions for each monster within the enclosure.
The same descriptions are displayed if you swing or throw a Knowledge Staff at a monster.
Monster attack animations can also be enjoyed by idling after selecting a monster name,
though some monsters won't use their special attack animations while inside Monster Kingdom.

Overall, one could say it's Shiren 2's most popular relaxation spot.
It might be fun to visit these zones every now and then, and recall where you met each monster.

Wild Kingdom

N'dubba House

Every color of N'dubba must be captured to complete Monster Kingdom.
There are a total of 9 colors based on the N'dubba's age.

Flying Friends

Dragon Mountain

Manegineko enters the Dragon family enclosure once Monster Kingdom is complete.
Armor Spider and Queen Spider are in the same enclosure.

Underground Empire

Ninja's Hidden Village

Underwater Paradise

Kappas will occasionally throw the grass found inside their enclosure,
but the grass will never be thrown at Shiren.

Mamel Land

Useful Monsters

• Armordillo Family
  • Possibly the most useful monster in the game.
    Use its special attack to quickly obtain Monster Pots and level up items.
    Armordillos can be captured early on in any dungeon, excluding Shuten Trail Mid.
• Mixer Family
  • Living Synthesis Pot that can be used to quickly strengthen equipment.
    Registering a Mixer to Monster Kingdom lets you synthesize inside Napus Storage.
    Send out → throw items → defeat using 火 seal → collect items → take out Mixer Pot again.
    Be careful not to return it to its pot or exit the storage before defeating it.
• Kengo Family
  • Disliked as an enemy, but treasured as an ally.
    Lets you collect shields (Kengo, Iai, Shihan), weapons (Iai, Shihan), and bracelets (Shihan).
    Collect equipment with positive upgrade value in Shuten Trail Easy or Shrine's Hidden Hole,
    and look for equipment with useful seals in Onigashima.
• Snacky
  • Capture a higher level monster by letting an enemy monster defeat an ally Snacky.
• Gazer Family
  • Can be used to level up an enemy monster when 2 monsters are present.
    Simply confuse one or both monsters, and then wait until one defeats the other.
• Monsoon Doll
  • Nice to have when capturing Tonosamadon and Mixer Family Monsters.
    It has a growth limit of 50, so it's a solid choice for general use as well.
• Gazelle Pope
  • Can be used to perform the Gazelle Pope glitch to quickly register monsters.
    However, do keep in mind that using the glitch is cheating, so it's not recommended.

Useful Items

Think ahead and ensure safety before leveling up an enemy monster.
It's best to keep Revival Grass and Escape Scroll on hand to avoid losing items.

• Monster Pot
  • Required to capture monsters.
    Obtained from Shrine's Hidden Hole, and can be used anywhere that allows carry-in items.
• Happy Grass
  • Throw at an enemy monster to level it up.
• Happy Staff
  • Swing at an enemy monster to level it up.
    Obtained from Sealed Room (Presto Pot), Onigashima (Specialty Shop), or Road to the End.
• Grass Gainer, Grass Tosser
  • Insert Happy Grass to basically turn it into a Happy Staff.
• Soil (Castle Material)
  • Similar to Snacky, enemy monsters that defeat figures made from Soil will level up.
    It's best to weaken the Figure beforehand to ensure it loses against the desired monster.
• Fear Scroll
  • Read when 2 enemies are lined up in a hallway to have one defeat the other and level up.
• Parry Bracelet
  • Found in Sealed Room (1st Golden Interval).
    Equip it when you're surrounded by multiple enemies to redirect damage
    and have a monster level up by defeating another monster.
• Possession Staff
  • Take control of a monster and use it to block a room entrance or hallway to have
    another monster defeat the monster you took control of, resulting in leveling up.
• Unlucky Staff
  • Occasionally found on the floor in Onigashima.
    Use it to when you need to catch a lower level monster.
• Seal Staff
  • Tonosamadon must be sealed in order to be captured,
    so you'll need this, Monsoon Doll, or King Tusker.
• Evaporate, Freeze, Great Hall Scrolls
  • Read these scrolls to capture aquatic monsters such as Shotfish and Aqua Dragon.
    These scrolls only take effect in Random Dungeons, and shouldn't be read in Shuten Trails.

Tricky or Tedious Monsters

Most monsters can be captured between the Shuten Trails, Onigashima, and Shrine's Hidden Hole.
If you plan to capture many monsters outside of Shrine's Hidden Hole, use an ally Armorillo in
Shrine's Hidden Hole to obtain lots of Monster Pots, and then store them in Mamo's drawers.

The trickiest monsters to capture are likely Queen Spider and each of the N'dubba colors.

Requires Extra Steps

• Mixer Family
  • It eats Monster Pots like any other item, so you need to either seal it or throw
    unneeded items until it's full before throwing the Monster Pot.
    The number of items each level can eat are: Mixer (2), Mixermon (3), and Mixergon (4).
    If you'd prefer to seal it, you can use a Seal Staff, Monsoon Doll, or King Tusker.
• Tonosamadon
  • It reflects thrown items including Monster Pots, so it needs to be sealed first.
    Use a Seal Staff, Monsoon Doll, or King Tusker to seal it.
• Copycat Mask
  • It's always disguised as another monster when it spawns, so reveal its disguise first.
    Get hit by a direct attack while equipped with a shield that has the 識 seal (Identify Scroll),
    or seal it using a Seal Staff, Monsoon Doll, or King Tusker.
    Copycat Masks can't be found in Sealed Room, so search 22~23F of Onigashima instead.
    They have low attack power, so it's easier to level it up using Happy Grass
    or Happy Staff instead of trying to have it defeat another monster.
• Zalokleft, Froggo Families
  • These two monster families basically have 0 attack power,
    so use items like Happy Grass or Happy Staff to level them up instead.
• Mr. Drone Family
  • Capturing it while it's hovering over water results in a submerged Monster Pot,
    so be extra careful when capturing it in Dororo Creek (Shuten Trail Mid 6~7F),
    since Freeze, Evaporate, and Great Hall scrolls don't take effect in Shuffle Dungeon maps.
    Use items like Happy Grass or Happy Staff to level it up.
• Aqua Dragon
  • Only generated inside water, so throwing a Monster Pot at it results in a submerged pot.
    Use a Swap Staff to force it onto land, or read an Evaporate, Freeze, or Great Hall scroll.
• Shotfish
  • Always generated underwater, so it can't be hit by thrown items.
    Read an Evaporate or Great Hall scroll to force it onto land in order to capture it.
    Hakkeyoi and Gottsuan can shift the Shotfish onto land with their special attack.
    Can be leveled up while it's underwater by having it defeat a Figure or Snacky.

Limited Locations

• Kengo, Mixer Families
  • Can't be found in Shrine's Hidden Hole, so you'll need to visit Shuten Trail Hard, etc.
• Gyadon, Dosukoi, Orcan, Schubell Families
  • Can't be found in the Shuten Trails or Onigashima.
    Search for them in Sealed Room or Shrine's Hidden Hole instead.
    It's easiest to capture the entire group in Sealed Room using Happy Grass or Happy Staff.
• Poko Hammer, Pako Hammer
  • These two can only be found naturally in Halfway Well.
    Recommended to use Happy Grass or Happy Staff in Shuten Trail Easy.
• Tiny Phoenix
  • Only found on floors 50F+ in Shrine's Hidden Hole, or 20F+ in Sealed Room.
    Faster to capture it in Sealed Room, provided you've upgraded your equipment.
• Escargon
  • Rarely found on floors 50F+ inside Sealed Room.
    Appears between 40~80F in Road to the End, but can't be found in Shrine's Hidden Hole.
• Taur Family
  • Only found in Sealed Room or Road to the End.
    In both dungeons, Minotaurs appear on 78F+, and Megataurs appear on 86F+.
    Taur can't be found in any dungeon, so use Twisty Grass, Unlucky Seed, or Unlucky Staff.
• Queen Spider
  • Only found on floors 60F+ inside Shrine's Hidden Hole.
    Queen Spider no longer spawns in Shuten Trail Hard after clearing Onigashima.
    If you want to complete Monster Kingdom, there's no way around having to capture it
    in Shrine's Hidden Hole. Use the information on this site to reach 60F. You can do it!
• N'dubbas
  • The age of a N'dubba is equivalent to its level.
    If you swing a Happy Staff at a N'dubba 1yr (green), it becomes N'dubba 2yr (green).
    If you swing the staff at a N'dubba 1yr (green) 19 times, it becomes N'dubba 20yr (pink).
    
    The floor number in Sealed Room directly correlates to N'dubba's age, so it's faster
    to search for specific ages there instead of relying on level up items:
    
    Green: 1~19F
    Pink: 20~29F
    Blue: 30~59F
    Red: 60~69F
    Light Blue: 70~76F
    Yellow: 77~87F
    Gray: 88~89F
    Light Green: 90~98F
    White: 99F
    
    N'dubbas can be picked up by switching places with a character standing on top
    of a disguised N'dubba. This allows you to store N'dubbas in Storage Pots,
    removing the need to bring Monster Pots into Sealed Room.
    
    Disguised N'dubbas can't be registered, but the disguise is canceled if you throw
    the N'dubba while inside a dungeon, allowing you to capture it.
    ※ Throwing a disguised N'dubba inside Napus Storage won't cancel the disguise.

Kingdom Monster List

This list is ordered using the in-game order when taking monsters out of Monster Kingdom.

Gazelle Pope Glitch

If you defeat an ally monster that had their level halved by a Gazelle Pope, the lower level monster
is added to Monster Kingdom, and the original monster returns to Monster Kingdom if registered.
If you decide to use this glitch, be sure not to perform it on unregistered monsters.

Growth will be halved for both the newly registered monster and the monster used for the glitch.

Required Items:

• Gazelle Pope Pot
• Possession Staff
• Monster Pot (containing a monster of the same family + higher level than the target monster).

Send out both monsters inside Napus Storage, take control of Gazelle Pope using Possession Staff,
halve the level of the target monster using Gazelle Pope, and then defeat the target monster.
Be careful not to hit Shiren if you use Gazelle Pope to defeat the target monster.
You can conserve Possession Staff uses by sending out multiple targets.

※ Lv4 monsters result in Lv2 monsters, so a Lv3 monster is also needed for families with 4 levels.

The Monster Kingdom completion events can progress out of order if this glitch is used to
register the final monster needed for completion, so it's best to avoid doing so.

Twisty Hani can't lower ally monster levels, so it can't be used in place of Gazelle Pope.

Growth Limit Breaking

Requirements:

• Gazelle Pope (ally or enemy)
• Level 2 or higher monster (ally)
  ※ ally monster must have a higher growth limit after having their level halved.

Ally monsters can still grow stronger while their level is halved by a Gazelle Pope, so the idea is to
halve the level of a monster with low max growth → max out growth before the level down effect
wears off, at which point max growth returns to the lower value of the higher level monster.

Example: N'dubba 99yr has a max growth of 0, and N'dubba 50yr (halved) has a max growth of 52.

However, note that:

• Any growth over the limit won't be reflected in the monster's stats.
• Defeating an enemy in a growth limit broken state resets growth to the regular max value.
• Sending out the monster also resets growth to the regular max value.

So there's no benefit to stats, it can't be used in combat, and it can't be sent outside of its pot.
Limit broken monsters can be registered to Monster Kingdom while retaining their growth,
so it could be fun to try for a "perfect" Monster Kingdom with limit broken monsters as trophies.
