Training methods
To succeed in the game you will need to make your monster live long. To do this is quite easy. First, select the monster you want and take them to the ranch. Select a monster which has a long life span or a monster that has a sub breed which has a long life span, such a Pixie/Plant etc. When trying to make your monster live long, stress is the key. The lower the stress, the longer your monster lives. Use this method for monsters to live long -- up to about 8 years old. Note: LD = Light Drill, HD = Hard Drill, ML = Mint Leaf, NO = Nuts Oil, -- = Anything.

Money with a Sueki Suezo
If you need money, first go to the shrine and use the Monster Rancher 1 CD. This should result in a Sueki Suezo, a monster with excellent stats, except for speed. Use this monster when battling in a free-for-all. If it wins, you will get money and perhaps an item. Note: This monster lives only for one week. If you need more money, unlock it and battle again.

Moves with Suezo/Hare
If you get a Suezo/Hare, every time that it goes to a training it will learn a new move, unless you have already mastered all the moves from that training area.

Phoenix Feather
On the first expedition to Kawrea Volcano, if your monster is intelligent enough it will find a Phoenix Feather there.

Get a Centaur
After you complete the Major Four and the Legends Cup, go to the Mandy Errantry. Complete the Errantry you will not fight the monster you chose. However, your monster will return with a spear. Your monster will then go crazy and fight a monster that is a bird from the waist up and horse from the waist down. After the battle is over, go to the town and combine two monsters and use the spear as your secret item.

Get a Dragon
Get a monster with a rank of B. You will eventually be invited to a competition. It is a fight against a Dragon. You also may need fame of 80+. Have all of your monster's stats up to at least level 5 or 6, very high speed, and strong techniques. Also, use a stimulant just before the fight. For example, Nageel.

Get Phoenix again
Use the following steps to get Phoenix again after it is retired or flies away. Take the disc from the PC game Dune 2000 from Westwood Studios to the shrine and you will receive a Phoenix with higher stats than the original one obtained from the Fire Feather. Note: An original Phoenix has to be obtained before receiving one from the disc. To get an original Phoenix, go on an adventure to Kawrea volcano (pre- or post-eruption). Search the volcano. One of the items that can be found is a Fire Feather. Take it to the lab and use it as a secret ingredient combining any two monsters to get the Phoenix.

Other CDs that will unlock a Phoenix at higher stats than the original are Frente-Marvin and Saviour Machine-Legend Part 1.

After unlocking a Phoenix with a Fire Feather you can use Shaking The Tree by Peter Gabriel to get another Phoenix which is stronger than the first.

You can get the Phoenix again by using the CD Brak Presents The Brak Album Starring Brak.

Get a Wracky
Increase your fame up to 100 and defeat the major 4.

Completing the big four tournaments
Go to the jungle expedition and get at least one Golden Peach (two is recommended), then go to the shrine. Put in the Monster Rancher 1 disc to get a Sueki Suezo that has amazing stats, but only lives for one week. Give the Golden Peach(es) to him. This will increase his life span three to five years per Golden Peach. Work on his speed and it will be easy to advance through the classes and complete the big four tournaments with ease and earn money.
