Monster Hunter Stories 2 Royal Monsters | Where to find and how to force retreat

Monster Hunter Stories 2 Royal Monsters offer a hefty challenge and a chance to get high-level armor and weapons much earlier in the game.

Royal Monsters are powerful foes, such as Tigrex, that normally live in regions you travel to later in the story. If you play your cards right, you can even get a powerful monster egg out of the battle, but you’ll need to prepare ahead of time.

What are Monster Hunter Stories 2 Royal Monsters

As mentioned, Royal Monsters are early opportunities to get high-ranking materials and monsters. They’re always located near a Catavan stand in their region, and you can challenge them at any point — assuming you’re ready. Navirou pipes up and mentions his whiskers are tingling when you approach one. You’ll also know it’s a Royal Monster since, unlike regular monsters, they don’t chase you.

The first time you find a Royal Monster, it’ll probably destroy your team in one hit. The best point to challenge one of these is as you’re nearing the end of your time in a given region when you have better equipment and stronger Monsties.

Do Royal Monsters respawn in Monster Hunter Stories 2

Yes, Royal Monsters respawn when you either leave the area and return or when you visit a Catavan stand and adjust the time of day. You can farm Royal Monsters for materials and for repeat chances of getting their eggs.

Do Royal Monsters retreat in Monster Hunter Stories 2

This one’s a bit more complicated. In theory, they do retreat and have the same retreat conditions as their normal counterparts. Some players are reporting issues with some retreat tactics, particularly using traps. It’s not clear whether this is a bug or if the game doesn’t let you trap Royal Monsters for some reason.

However, you can still use the paintball strategy to force a retreat. Chuck a paintball at the monster and defeat it within three turns of using the item to boost your chances of it retreating. This strategy will be easier after you’ve fought a Royal Monster once and reveal its health bar.
