Monster Hunter Stories 2 Trophy Guide

The “Friend of Kayna” trophy unlocks naturally when you set sail for Rutoh Village as part of the story campaign.

You will unavoidably receive the “Friend of Alwin” trophy as part of the story after the Rathian fight.

You will unavoidably receive the “Friend of Avinia” trophy as part of the story after the Seltas fight.

You will unavoidably receive the “Friend of Reverto” trophy as part of the story after reuniting with Ratha.

You will unavoidably receive the “Friend of Kyle” trophy as part of the story after the Mizutsune fight.

You will unavoidably receive the “Friend of Cheval” trophy as part of the story after the Nergigante fight.

You will unavoidably receive the “Friend of Ratha” trophy as part of the story after the Credits sequence.

Shortly after the Friend of Ratha Trophy unlocks, you will also unavoidably receive the Wanderer’s Shield trophy. I can confirm that it’s safe to skip cutscenes (I skipped a few myself) and it won’t void the trophy!

As the Trophy Description suggests, however, there’s a bit more story left. See the Shining Kinship Stone trophy for next steps.

After completing the story, head to Lulucion. There’s an NPC there sitting on the steps in front of a kiosk. She will give you a Subquest to complete for which you need to show her a Pukei-Pukei. Hatch one and add it to your party, then speak to her again to complete the “Pukei-Pukei Need Love Too” Subquest.

Speak to her again after that and she’ll have a new Subquest for you, concerning the Pink Rathian. Complete the “A Monster Among Flowers” Subquest by defeating the Pink Rathian in Pomodore Garden.

You probably won’t be able to do this right away because even the basic enemies in High Rank dens are incredibly powerful. You should upgrade your team a bit with some higher-rarity Monsties and complete some Subquests to level them up to around Level 50. At that point, you’ll have a much easier time.

It should be noted that the Pink Rathian you slay doesn’t have to specifically be the one in Pomodore Gardens and if you beat one elsewhere, such as the Elder’s Lair, you’ll be able to complete the quest.

Once you have defeated a Pink Rathian and handed in the quest, the NPC will have another one for you; this time “Azure Sea, Sky, Rathalos,” for which you need to defeat an Azure Rathalos.

She directs you to one in North Kamuna Cape on Hakolo Island but, again, you can simply defeat any High Rank Azure Rathalos. Much like the Pink Rathian, there’s one in Zone 1 of the Elder’s Lair.

Her next quest is in regards to a Deviant Monster! This is where things get more interesting. You need to complete the “Deviant Monsters: Hakolo” subquest that she gives you. You’ll need to follow tracks by following the scoutflies and collecting resources in the area, as you have done many times before throughout the story.

These will lead you to a Den containing a rare and powerful Monster for you to fight.

After you defeat the powerful Deviant Nargacuga at the nest in the Subquest den, you will unlock the Deviant Badge trophy for defeating your first Deviant Monster. With the objectives complete, return to Lulucion and hand in the subquest to the client to receive the “Shining Kinship Stone” trophy and your Level 9 Kinship Stone.

You will unlock the “Deviant Badge” trophy upon defeating your first Deviant Monster. You have to do this to unlock the Shining Kinship Stone trophy anyway, so you should unlock it in pursuit of that trophy.

To unlock the “Scholar’s Tome” trophy, you simply need to acquire a Skill Tome for the first time. This is very likely to happen naturally as Skill Tomes are often given to you as Subquest rewards. There are quite a lot of them in the game, too!

One example is an NPC on the boat in Mahana Village who gives you a Sword & Shield Skill tome for simply crafting and equipping the “Bone Kris” sword and shield, then speaking to him.

You will eventually need to collect every Skill Scroll to unlock the Expert’s Tome Trophy.

To unlock the “Expert’s Tome” trophy, you need to find all 23 Skill Scrolls available in Monster Hunter Stories 2. Skill Scrolls are always unlocked via NPC Subquests given to you by NPCs in settlements. To ensure you don’t miss any, open the Map in each Settlement and look for “!” icons. Speak to the NPCs at these icons to accept their quests and, if they offer a Skill Scroll as a reward, complete the Subquest to claim it.

Once you have all 23 Skill Scrolls, go to the “Items” option in the menu and then tab across to the “Key Items” tab at the end. If you have all 23 Skill Scrolls, the trophy will then unlock.

To unlock the “Philosopher’s Tome” trophy, you will need to acquire 50% of the possible combination recipes in Monster Hunter: Stories.

These are given as rewards for completing Subquests, usually those given to you by NPCs in the game’s various Settlements.

You will eventually need to find all the Combination recipes in the game to unlock the Sage’s Tome Trophy.

To unlock the “Sage’s Tome” trophy, you need to find and acquire all 37 Combination Recipes in Monster Hunter Storioes 2. These come from a combination of places; some are from the Melynx Inc store, some come from Questboard Subquests, and the majority come from NPC Subquests.

I’ve put together a table below, showing how and where to acquire each recipe. Note that some quests won’t be intrinsically available and you’ll need to complete preceding subquests to reveal them. Especially NPC Subquests, as many NPCs offer a series of quests rather than just one single subquest.

Once you have acquired them all, open your Items menu via and then tab to the “Key Items” tab to have the trophy unlock.

You will unlock the “Helping Hand Medal” trophy for completing a cumulative total of 50 Subquests. This counts the quests you pick up from the quest board, but also any that you happen to complete and hand in at NPCs in the various settlements. You’ll need to go on to complete another 50 Subquests for the Good Soul Medal trophy.

Subquests are a great way to gain resources, money, and exp so it’s likely that you’ll be completing these a lot to keep up with the level demands of the story and thus may earn this trophy naturally.

The “Good Soul Medal” trophy will unlock when you complete your 100th Subquest. As these are such a great way to earn resources and exp, you’ll probably be completing a lot of them on your way through the story. If not, however, you can just begin mopping them up once you’re done with the story.

You won’t need to complete every Subquest in the game, as there are far more than just 100. In pursuit of the Platinum, though, there’s a good chance you’ll end up completing more than 100 of them.

At questboards in Monster Hunter Stories 2, there’s a “Trial Quests” option.

This option gives you access to a series of arena-based trials in which you must defeat the listed Monsters. Each trial has a set of win conditions that give you either a Bronze, Silver, or Gold bonus.

These win conditions differ, but in Trials marked “Turn,” they depend on how many turns you complete the trial in. To unlock the “Gold Medal” trophy, you will need to complete any Trial Quest and achieve the Gold Requirements of that trial.

The easiest one to earn the trophy from is, of course, the “Hakolo Elite” trial. This trial asks that you kill a Bulldrome, a Kulu-Ya-Ku, and a Yian Kut-Ku in 5 turns or less to acquire the Gold Bonus. Once you’re deep into the story (or have completed it) this battle is a breeze and your high-level gear and high-rank monsters will blow right through the low-rank enemies in this trial.

Eventually as you progress the story, you’ll unlock the “Co-op/Versus” option at the Questboard, from where you can engage in network battles and complete co-op quests with friends. Fret not, however, as there is also the “Offline Play” option, which allows you to do all of those things with random NPCs instead of real-world players.

To unlock the “Scroll of Cooperation” trophy, you just need to complete any Co-Op Quest via the Questboard. To do so offline, go to any Questboard, select Co-Op/Versus, then select Offline Play. From there, choose Co-Op Quests and then complete any of the quests you see.

The Scroll of Co-Operation trophy will then unlock on the results screen at the end of the quest.

Elder’s Lair is a post-game dungeon similar to the Tower of Illusion in Monster Hunter: Stories 1. To access it, return to the “Fbn. Grounds – Altar” Catavan Stand and speak to Chief Gara there.

There are 10 Zones to make your way through, each zone has a Catavan Stand from which you can save the game and easily return to the deepest Zone you’ve reached. You will also find a Felyne NPC in each Zone who will give you an objective to complete before you can head deeper.

Some zones, like the first one, ask that you defeat specific monsters, while others ask that you break specific Monster Parts in battle. Others will act as Boss Zones where you need to fight and defeat a single powerful High-Rank Monster like Velkhana or Fatalis.

These bosses are some of the hardest possible challenges in the entire game, capable of wiping out your rider in a single hit if you’re not careful. To ensure you have the best chances in a Boss Battle, take the time to open all of the chests in their zone. These chests contain notes from Red which give you invaluable information on how to defeat each boss.

To unlock the “Secret Scroll of Bonds” trophy, you need to complete the objectives in all 10 zones of the Elder’s Lair. You’ll want your Monsters to be around Level 45-50 when you begin the dungeon to be able to keep up with the High-Rank Monsters you’ll be faced with.

As you progress the story, you’ll eventually unlock the “Co-op/Versus” option at the Questboard. From there you can engage in network battles and complete co-op quests with friends. But don’t worry, there is also the “Offline” option, which allows you to do all of those things with random NPCs instead of real-world players!

To unlock the “Scroll of Power” trophy, you just need to complete any Single Versus Battle via the Questboard. To do so offline, go to any Questboard, select Co-Op/Versus, then select Offline Play. From there, choose Versus Battles and then create a Single Battle.

The Scroll of Power trophy will then unlock on the results screen at the end of the battle. You do need to win, and sometimes depending on the opponent’s Monsties, that’s not such an easy thing to do. You can just keep starting Single Versus battles until you succeed, though.

Versus Battles work like any other Rider-v-Rider battle in that you both have 3 hearts and the first person to lose all three hearts will lose the battle. You lose a heart when either your rider or your Monstie go down.

As you progress the story, you’ll eventually unlock the “Co-op/Versus” option at the Questboard. From there, you can engage in network battles and complete co-op quests with friends. But don’t worry, there is also the “Offline” option, which allows you to do all of those things with random NPCs instead of real-world players!

To unlock the “Scroll of Unity” trophy, you just need to complete any Pair Versus Battle via the Questboard. To do so offline, go to any Questboard, select Co-Op/Versus, then select Offline Play. From there, choose Versus and then create a Pair Battle.

The Scroll of Unity trophy will then unlock on the results screen at the end of the battle. You do need to win, and sometimes depending on the opponent’s Monsties, that’s not such an easy thing to do. You can just keep starting Pair Versus battles until you succeed, though.

Versus Battles work like any other Rider-v-Rider battle in that you both have 3 hearts and the first person to lose all three hearts will lose the battle. You lose a heart when either your rider or your Monstie go down. However, in Pair Battles you and your partner both have 3 hearts but the battle will end when either one of you (or your opponents) loses 3 hearts.

The “Valiant Rider Plaque” unlocks after you defeat your 50th Monster. This should happen naturally, and quite early in the story, too.

The “Extraordinary Rider Plaque” unlocks after you defeat your 100th Monster. This should happen naturally, and not too long into the story.

The “Champion Rider Plaque” unlocks after you defeat your 200th Monster. This should happen naturally throughout the course of the story campaign.

At the end of any battle in Monster Hunter Stories 2, you’ll receive a ranking based on your performance. This could be D, C, B, A, or S. S being the highest rating you can achieve.

Your ranking is not based on how quickly you complete the battle or how little damage you take, instead it’s based on how much of a spectacle the fight was. If you win lots of Head-to-heads, ride on your monster, or activate skills and kinship abilities (and more), you will gain “Bonus” score. These bonuses are listed on the left-hand side in a post-battle summary screen to help you better understand what you get points for.

Arguably, with MH: Stories 2 having a much more complex battle system and more ways to earn bonus points, achieving an S Rating in MH: Stories 2 is much easier than it was in MH: Stories.

Honestly, in my experience, as long as you understand and make use of the various combat mechanics present in MH: Stories 2, you’ll unlock the “Supreme Crest” trophy naturally throughout the course of the Story Campaign. This happens when you’ve achieved your 50th S Rank in a battle.

When fighting Monsters, you will sometimes be able to choose which parts to attack, such as Pukei-Pukei’s tail, Anjanath’s Nose, or Kulu-Ya-Ku’s rock. You can cycle these parts with /.

To unlock the “Proficient Partbreaker Symbol” trophy, you just need to break Monster Parts by depleting a part’s separate health gauge a cumulative total of 10 times. Breaking a Monster Part will typically weaken the Monster or prevent it from using an ability.

Break 30 Monster Parts in total to unlock the “Peerless Partbreaker Symbol” trophy. See Proficient Partbreaker Symbol for more info.

Once you reach the end-game in Monster Hunter Stories 2 and begin fighting High Rank Monsters, you will be able to craft and upgrade High-Rank gear at the Smithy.

High-rank gear has a red icon and requires High-Rank Monster Parts and Resources to craft and upgrade, thus requiring you to farm a lot of High-Rank Monsters and explore plenty of High-Rank Monster Dens not just for their parts but also for resources like Armor Gems, Weapon Gems, and rare bones, minerals, and more.

Craft any weapon that you like using the resources available to you, and then farm the appropriate parts and resources to upgrade the weapon 3 times, taking it to MAX level. Upon doing so, the “Battle Gear Royalty” trophy will unlock!

Once you reach the end-game in Monster Hunter Stories 2 and begin fighting High Rank Monsters, you will be able to craft and upgrade High-Rank gear at the Smithy.

High-rank gear has a red icon and requires High-Rank Monster Parts and Resources to craft and upgrade, thus requiring you to farm a lot of High-Rank Monsters and explore plenty of High-Rank Monster Dens not just for their parts but also for resources like Armor Gems, Weapon Gems, and rare bones, minerals, and more.

Craft any piece of armor that you like using the resources available to you, and then farm the appropriate parts and resources to upgrade the armor 3 times, taking it to MAX level. Upon doing so, the “Battle Armor Royalty” trophy will unlock!

To unlock the “Initiate’s Certificate” trophy, you need to have a Monstie that has Genes in all 9 slots on their Gene Card.

All Monsties have Genes and Gene slots that only unlock by leveling them up, so you’ll first need to pay attention to those and ensure your Monstie is raised to the appropriate level.

Most Monsties also have some locked slots that must be unlocked using Ritual Items (via the Rite of Channeling menu at the Stables). These come in the form of rare Stims, typically specific to the type of Monstie whose slots you wish to unlock.

Once you’ve unlocked all 9 slots in a Monstie, you’ll then need to use the Rite of Channeling to transfer genes from your other Monsties to fill those slots. This part is a bit easier than in the game’s predecessor because you can place a gene in any open slot, and it doesn’t need to be from a matching position in the Gene Card.

The trophy will then unlock when all 9 slots are unlocked and filled on any Monstie.

In Monster Hunter Stories 2, there are Genes of different sizes with more powerful effects. L (Large) genes have a gold border, whereas XL (Extra-Large) genes have a thick platinum-colored border. When using the Rite of Channeling, you can not only add new genes and replace existing genes, but if you take a gene from another Monster that your Monster already has, you can place it in the same spot to upgrade that gene!

Upgraded genes will have a small star icon on them, and they can be upgraded again to add more star icons.

To unlock the “Mastery Gem” trophy, you need to upgrade any XL gene twice, so that it has two stars on it. This is actually not a max level gene, but the trophy unlocks at this point regardless.

Before you can earn the “Expedition Orders” trophy, you must go and purchase at least one Expedition+ Ticket from a Melynx Inc. Felyne using Bottle Caps. Bottle Caps can be farmed from red chests in Everdens, which are special types of Monster Den which are always present and are marked on the map. An Expedition+ Ticket increases the number of Monstie Expeditions you can have running at one time.

The first Expedition+ Ticket you can buy becomes available in Lulucion and costs 22 Bottle Caps. Once you’ve visited a Melynx Inc. Felyne and purchased one such ticket, head to the Stables and run any Expedition in any of your Expedition Slots. The trophy will then unlock immediately.

To unlock the Trendsetter trophy, you need to collect all of Navirou’s outfits and then change his outfit once via the Chest in your Home. The vast majority of Navirou’s outfits are acquired via the Melynx Inc vendor in any city. The Melynx Inc Vendor’s stock grows over time as you progress the story, but all of the outfits below will be available after you’ve completed the story. Each outfit costs 8 Bottle Caps, here’s a full list:

• Red Hero Outfit
• Blue Hero Outfit
• Green Hero Outfit
• White Flu Mask
• Black Flu Mask
• Pink Flu Mask
• R Cheerleader Outfit
• G Cheerleader Outfit
• B Cheerleader Outfit
• Wanderer’s Outfit
• Eyepatch Outfit
• Bandaged Outfit
• Naviljhho Outfit
• King’s Outfit
• Azure King’s Outfit
• Silver King’s Outfit
• Ruin King’s Outfit
• Numbers Outfit
• Heart-Shaped Glasses
• Purrty-Eye Frames
• Mahana Headband
• Rutoh Scarf
• Kuan Cap
• Lulucion Hat
• A Nua Look
• Felyne Straw Hat
• Pawesome Outfit

The only remaining outfit that you cannot buy is part of a secret quest. To begin this hidden subquest, go to Lulucion and speak to Kyle to add him to your party. Once done, go to Rutoh Village.

In Rutoh Village, speak to Tsukino next to Kyle at the Catavan Stand, and she will hide herself in the village. Look for her in the following places:

Left of the village elder, in a barrel with binoculars.

Behind a tree left of where you spoke to her, dressed as a Catavaner.

Dressed as a cute felyne girl near the Stables.

Behind the tree next to the Melynx Inc vendor.

Once you’ve found her in all of the above places, travel to Kuan Village and speak to her again near the entrance to make her go and hide once more. Now, in Kuan Village, look for her in these locations:

Dressed in a big fluffy coat near the Christmas Tree at the center of the village.

Dressed as a snowman among the rubble at the end of the bridge on the north side of the village.

To the right of the Kuan Village Chief, disguised as a cobblestone wall.

After finding her in that final location, you’ll be returned to Tsukino, where she’ll give you the final Navirou Outfit.

Go to your home and equip any Navirou Outfit via the Chest to unlock the Trendsetter trophy!

To unlock the “Fashionista” trophy, you first need to acquire some Layered Armor. You should note that special layered armor, usually marked with a “+” symbol, does not count towards this trophy.

A good way to acquire Layered Armor is by purchasing it from the Layered Armor Smithy at the south end of Lulucion.

Once you have some, go back to your home, access the Chest, select “Appearance” then go down to the Layered Armor options. Select one to equip, back out with and then press on the “OK” button to apply the change.

The Fashionista trophy will then unlock immediately.

To unlock the Catavan Conqueror trophy, you will need to find and activate every Catavan in the game, thus giving you full reign to freely roam the map via Fast Travel. Unfortunately, many of the Catavans you need to find at the end of the game are in each zone of the Elder’s Lair, so you will need to unlock the Secret Scroll of Bonds trophy before you can unlock this one.

See below a table with a full list of Catavan Stands and where to find them:

To unlock the “Monsterpedia: Novice” trophy, you need to have encountered 33% of the Monsters in the Monsterpedia. Hatching a Monster you have not yet encountered in the wild will not add it to your Monsterpedia; the Monsterpedia and Monstipedia are completely separate. You will eventually need to encounter all Monsters to unlock the Monsterpedia: Master Trophy.

To unlock the “Monsterpedia: Expert” trophy, you need to have encountered 66% of the Monsters in the Monsterpedia.

You will eventually need to encounter all Monsters to unlock the Monsterpedia: Master Trophy.

To unlock the “Monsterpedia: Master” trophy, you’re going to need to find and encounter every single Monster in the Monsterpedia at least once. This includes the Monsters in the Low Rank tab of the Monsterpedia and the Monsters in the High Rank tab, excluding those marked with a “+” icon. The excluded Monsters are numbers 126 through 135 in the High Rank tab of the Monsterpedia.

This table shows you where to find the initial 111 Monsters in the Low Rank tab of the Monsterpedia. Note that the Low Rank tab also includes some named Monsters numbered 201 through 217. These are all special boss Monsters that you can only face by completing Quest Board Subquests with “(Hard)” in the title.

The table below consists of additional High Rank Monsters only logged in the “High Rank” tab of the Monsterpedia. Most of them can be found in the Elder’s Lair. Once you have your Level 9 Kinship Stone,t hough, you may run into them elsewhere throughout the game too. You can also find many of them in Super Rare Monster Dens.

Lastly, there is a “Bosses” tab in the Monsterpedia. These will all be encountered both as part of the story and the Elder’s Lair.

The “Monstipedia: New Edition” trophy will unlock when you have hatched eggs for 33% of the Monsties in the Monstipedia. You will need to hatch 81/96 Monsties for the Monstipedia: Complete Edition Trophy.

The “Monstipedia: Revised Edition” trophy will unlock when you have hatched eggs for 66% of the Monsties in the Monstipedia. You will need to hatch 81/96 Monsties for the Monstipedia: Complete Edition Trophy.

To unlock the “Monstipedia: Complete Edition” trophy, you will need to acquire and hatch eggs for 81 of the 96 Monsties in the Monstipedia. To help you do this, I’ve provided the table below, which shows you where you can find the dens for each hatchable Monster.

Additionally, if you run into any of these hatchable Monsters in battle, you can usually get them to “retreat” by hitting them with a Paintball before you defeat them. If successful, a den for that Monster will spawn nearby and you can go in for a guaranteed egg!

Every hatchable Monstie in the game has a unique Kinship Skill. To unlock the “New Rider” trophy, you need to first hatch every possible Monstie, then add each Monstie to your team, fill its Kinship gauge in battle, and then activate its Kinship Skill by riding it. You’ll need to do this for 33% of the Monsties in the Monstipedia, but Monster Rider requires you to have done this with 100% of them.

To unlock the “Veteran Rider” trophy, you need to first hatch every possible Monstie, then add each Monstie to your team, fill its Kinship gauge in battle, and then activate its Kinship Skill by riding it. You’ll need to do this for 66% of the Monsties in the Monstipedia, but Monster Rider requires you to have done this with 100% of them.

To unlock the “Monster Rider” trophy, you will need to have used a Kinship Skill with every Monstie that you had to hatch for the Monstipedia: Complete Edition trophy. If you have released any Monsties to make room in your stables or used some up for Channeling, you will need to hatch them again. That said, you’ll be hatching all Monsties multiple times for the Genetics Compendium trophy.

You can increase the space in your Stables by purchasing stable expansions from the Melynx Inc Felyne using Bottle Caps.

To use a Kinship Skill, you need to first enter battle with your chosen Monstie, then win Head-to-Heads or activate Double Attacks to increase their Kinship Gauge. Once the Gauge is full, select “Ride” in the battle menu to mount the Monstie. From there, you can then select the “Kinship Skill” option, which is in place of the “Ride” option.

To see which Kinship Skills you have already used before, go to your Home in any settlement and interact with the Chest. From there, select “Gallery” and then “Kinship Skills” and you’ll see a list of the Monsties you’ve done a Kinship Skill with before.

So, upon reading the description for this trophy, you may be thinking “Oh god, do I have to use every Kinship Skill again with every companion?”

Fortunately, the answer is no. To unlock the “Bonds of Friendship” trophy, you do need to use a Double Kinship Skill with every companion, however, only Double Kinship Skills activated with Ratha as your Monstie seem to count.

To see which ones you’ve completed before, go to the Home in any settlement and then interact with the Chest. There, select “Gallery” and then “Double Kinship Skills.”

You will need to perform a Double Kinship Skill with the following Battle Buddies:

• Kayna – Mahana Village
• Alwin – Rutoh Village
• Avinia – Kuan Village
• Reverto – Lulucion
• Cheval – Nua Te Village
• Kyle – Lulucion

After completing the game, you can speak to any of these companions in the locations listed above to enlist them and add them to your party.

To perform a Double Kinship Skill, enter battle with your desired Battle Buddy, then complete Head-to-Heads and Double Attacks until your Kinship Gauge is full. Then, wait for your Battle Buddy’s Kinship Gauge to fill up. When you see your Battle Buddy mount their Monstie, mount yours too and then select “Kinship Skill.” If the Battle Buddy is also mounted when you select this, they will join you, initiating a Double Kinship Skill.

In the case of Reverto and Kyle, who do not use or mount Monsties, you will instead need to wait until their Kinship Gauge reaches Level 3. Once that happens, their next move will be a Kinship Skill, so you need to ensure your gauge is filled in preparation. When you see their gauge filled, mount your Monstie and select “Kinship Skill” to have them add their power to the attack.

Once you have performed Double Kinship Skills with Ratha as your active Monstie with all 6 possible companions, the Bonds of Friendship trophy will unlock!

The “Genetics for Beginners” trophy unlocks when you have hatched Monsties with enough unique genes to fill out 139 of the 419 slots in the Book of Genes. You will eventually need to fill out all 419 slots to unlock the Genetics Compendium Trophy.

The “Advanced Genetics” trophy unlocks when you have hatched Monsties with enough unique genes to fill out 278 of the 419 slots in the Book of Genes. You will eventually need to fill out all 419 slots to unlock the Genetics Compendium Trophy.

To unlock the “Genetics Compendium” trophy, you need to continuously collect and hatch eggs to try and eventually unlock every possible Gene in the game. You can check how many genes you’ve unlocked so far by going into the “Field Guides” option in the menu and then selecting “Book of Genes.” Here, you’ll see a full list of every Gene that you have and have not unlocked.

There are a whopping 419 genes, including the S, M, L, and XL versions of every possible gene. L and XL genes are very rare but you can get them most easily by farming High-Rank, Rare, and Super Rare Monster Dens in each region of the game.

Additionally, when you are collecting eggs from a nest, look out for eggs that shine brightly as you pick them up, these eggs are most likely to have a rarer or higher-level gene. Note that genes which are locked on a Monstie will not be added to your Book of Genes until you unlock them by levelling that Monstie up to the appropriate level. A quick and easy way to continuously levewl up your Monsties throughout the farming process is to frequently send out Expeditions, making sure to swap out the Expedition Monsties when all of their genes have been unlocked.

There is no table or resource that I could produce for you which would be as convenient or extensive as the resource available here. On that Kiranico webpage, you will find a full list of all genes in the game, as well as the Monsters which are most likely to have them.
