Monster Hunter Stories 2 Wings of Ruin: All Royal Monsters Locations/Weaknesses/Retreat Boosts

A guide showing where to find all Royal Monsters, their weaknesses and what boosts their retreat rates.

Introduction

Royal Monsters are extremely strong (and angry) monsters that appear much sooner than their “normal” brethren in the story mode of the game.
They can easily one shot unprepared players and their monsties, they can often one shot prepared players as well to be honest 😀
But if you manage to beat em and make them retreat to their den (it’s not automatic, so you gotta work for it) you’ll find their eggs and have an awesome, strong monsters added to your party.

Read on to see where you can find em, tips on their weaknesses and what to do to boost their retreat rate (other than hitting em with a Paintball of course).

Royal Tigrex

LOCATION: there’s three in the Alcala region but the easiest one is right by the catavan called Harzagai Hill- Inner. Just coast the Basarios area on the right and you’ll find it inside a short offshoot. Here’s the exact location.

WEAKNESSES:

Elemental: Lightning

Head: Slash

Legs: Everything

HOW TO BOOST RETREAT RATE: trap it in a shock trap and break its head with a greatsword.

Royal Monoblos

LOCATION: this one is also very close to the Inner Harzgai Hill catavan, just coast to the left of the map and reach this area and find it sleeping right on the path.
