Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny Monster Guide

[Chicken Yuki]

There are also "King" Variants of each animals that come from Shiny/Rainbow Monster Gates.

In temples, there's also a chance that "Elementals" will show up as well. The Fire and Water Elementals are Crop Monsters that create crops based on a corresponding season. I have yet to capture an Earth and Wind Elemental, and since one of the seasons is WINTER, I'm not entirely sure what the deal is with the remaining corresponding elemental...

I need to look over the crops again, but Fire Elementals plant Summer crops, and Water Elementals plant Autumn/Fall crops.

I'd heard about the elementals, but have yet to have the luck of seeing one.

Can you get me the names of the two you have? or are they simple called *element* elementals?

Yes, they have very boring names.

It's just "Fire Elemental" and "Water Elemental".

I assume the others are "Earth Elemental" and "Wind Elemental".

Generally, they are SEVERAL LEVELS HIGHER than any other monster in the temple, similar to the King Variants being more powerful versions of their common species.

My first King-Type that I tamed was the Trollking. Yes, they just attach "King" to the name of some of these monsters. Like Chipsqueaking.

[Shayde]

I would name my goblin king, Jareth. =D /shot for Labyrinth movie ref


but anyway, I had forgotten mention of the elementals. I've added a whole new section 7 dedicated to the elementals and kings, with you for the credit. Thank you, Chicken Yuki. =D

I'm wondering if maybe the final elemental works on the winter island growing random ores?

[Chicken Yuki]

No Problem.

I ended up LEVEL GRINDING during my attempt to find and tame that Troll King. XD The problem is, the kings will likely kill you fast if you're otherwise up to par with the other monsters. I suspect I kept getting killed by Wooly Kings on that first island, though. It was like they were coming out of nowhere and I was wondering how in the world they hit so hard.

...and I also liked the Fire Elemental so much when I first saw it, I headed back to the Fire Shrine after beating the Water Shrine to tame THREE of them. I'm now wondering what the Wind Elemental is capable of. Fire Elementals use the same attack as the Hell Branch Staff, and Water Elementals cast Water Lasers.

[Shayde]

Gobble box. Does it grow the sapphires as in mining island, or does it produce them like the wooly does fleece and the buffamoo does milk?


So only way to get fruit is to buy it at the store. K. Sprinks lied to me! xD I was looking all over for fruit tree planting monsters. xD

[Osuchin]

The gobble boxes produce them, just like the monster boxes do.

Well I don't see any fruit trees on the wiki. But I may be wrong.

[Shayde]

my hesitance with relying on the jap wiki, is if the names have staid the same or not. if we use a jap name for a monster that they translated to something else in english, it might confuse people. =P
