Monster Infusion Cookbook

[Unseen]

Drop your monster infusion recipes here, custom or well known just drop the ones you think work best.

Point of this thread is to help new players build a good monster, or monsters, and have an easy reference to them. I know there's quite a few guides already on monster infusions, but they dont cover every monster. Example, its hard for me to find a good dreadnaught infusion guide anywhere.

I'll start with a very simple build that every new player should make before making others.

Crystarium Expansion----: +1 Bonus Boost.

Gather these Monsters:

01) Lv. 40 Goblin Chieftain

05) Lv. 45 Sahagin Prince
06) Lv. 72 Necrosis
07) Lv. 23 Mewmao

Oh ok that sucks, sorry to hear that.

Most defiantly

One thing tho about 13-2 I find funny is how the infusion process excludes some of the monster hunting till after the games beat. Example the fencer is a great monster infusion for commandos and ravagers, but there's only 3 in the game before the end. In order to role back the clock and actually farm fencer you need to beat the game.

Kinda makes a lot of this game seem post game, but I guess that adds to the replay.

Our world is complete disrespect right now, and these little young right wing punks talking about SJW's and cucks, they are in a fantasy world of disrespect. And they will never realize it, until the world hates them, and these kind of people never win, they just cause damage and drama, then burn out, over and over again.

That's an interesting viewpoint.

And to be honest its better that way, because a little skinny weak punk should not be able to talk shit to someones face and get away with it. That's disrespect, I talk shit about wars, but never the troops, because its disrespect. I talk shit about football players, cuz I think its disgusting, exploits young girls, cripples young boys, and causes toxic masculinity in schools.
They also get paid far more money than our troops, who are sacrificing everything. You think thats respect?

I highly agree soldiers should be paid more.

Ewww dont sound fun to me, sounds dull.
I mean if we didn't have the monsters I'd just wanna go back to 13. Serah and noel are great characters but 2 only... Least LR's had more than 4 or 5 costumes.

[Odinsknight101]

For me there is a certain pride and accomplishment in doing drastic, game changing playthroughs.

Might be more of a challenge.

Btw, thanks for the reminder, Matty. I can't believe I almost forgot about you.
