Unlocking 12 Locked Monsters.
1) Zan
Do an Errantry at Kalaragi Jungle, then go to your right until you find a yellow crystal (1st crystal) near a tree. Break it to find another crystal (2nd crystal). Cleo will ask if you see something; say Yes, then keep going to break another tree (3rd Crystal). From this, go to your left then north until you find another crystal (4th crystal). This time say No to Cleo's question, then head to the middle north where you can find a tree again (5th crystal), break it then find another crystal (6th) then take care of the next tree (7th Crystal).
Now go to the top of the lake to find another one (8th crystal) then say No. Next, go to the south of the 2nd waterfall (9th crystal) you will rest here to reveal Zan himself, now go to the upper west of the hill near the entrance (10th crystal). You find Zan is running again, now lastly go to the middle of the waterfalls (11th crystal) to find Zan exhausted, giving you the "Ninja Sword", his combining item.
2) Joker
During Spring do an errantry at Angsworth Way then keep going until you reach the end (after the second bridge) then reach a yellow crystal to find Joker. Win the battle then you receive his combining item, the "Cursed Mask".
3) Xenon
Do the Errantry at the Promais Ruins, find the two tablets in the ruins (one in the northwest room and one above the middle room), then find Xenon in the southeast room and battle it. Win, and you'll receive the "King's Proof", his combining item.
4) Durahan
Do the Errantry at the Erips Ice Ridge, go west to find a yellow crystal, which will trigger a cutscene of a transparent figure drifting along. Next go at the middle north of the map to find a sword, then to the northeast of the middle hill of the map to find a sheath. Then go back to the first crystal in the west to find Durahan's ghost; he will combine both your items to make a "Twin Edge", his combining item.
5) Dragon
Win the "Raising Dragon" tournament (your breeder rank must be B or above for this tournament to be unlocked) to receive the "Dragon Fang" combining item.
6) Beaclon
Do an errantry during Summer on Murmouge Coast. Start by going to your left side where you can reach the beach. Find a yellow crystal near the water, then start an arm wrestling match with a Beaclon. Do it right to earn his combining item.
WARNING: Due to a glitch in the game, if you lose the arm-wrestling match, he will be gone forever! Save before attempting this!
7) Phoenix
Give a Gold Peach to the injured Phoenix at Volk Magma in order to receive the "Fire Feather" combination item.
Improved instructions taken from Zetta_Chaos's Walkthrough/FAQ [1]: "The first crystal is straight ahead of you, shows the Phoenix flying overhead. Continue to the right, until you reach the right corner. Say yes, as your Monster will make a path to the tree.
Go forward and check another crystal here to receive an item that comes out of the geyser. Another crystal is closeby- inspect the burnt tree. This is where you get the famous Gold Peach, an item that increases your Monsters Lifespan. Note that you HAVE to get a Peach, in order to get the Phoenix and have the next crystal show up.
Now continue back down the path you were originally on and go south to another crystal in that corner. The Phoenix is there, injured. You give it the Peach, and it flies away, but leaves a Fire Feather combo item.
Now that you got the Phoenix item, you can take a shortcut back to the entrance. Find another yellow crystal to the west. You'll create a rock bridge, courtesy of your Monster. Click another crystal, and it will take you right back to the entrance."
8) Hengar
