Rare Monsters? - Issac - 27-08-2003
Okay I was playing and came across a Hildeblue, and then got a good rare. (Actually my friend got it) and I was wondering, what is the fastest way of finding that rare monster again?

Fastest way is to pipe for them. Find a room with a good collection of monsters that have a rare equivalent. Fake in the Yellow is good for rappies, and Forest of Sorrow is good for Hildebears. Then just just going back to Pioneer in a telepipe. Go back in the pipe, once on P2, then repeat. Each time you go from P2 to Ragol, it resets the monsters in the level. So you have a nice new set of enemies to see if there is a rare enemy. You might be waiting for a while though. I'm actually currently piping for a Hildeblue. I hate CCA because I keep getting shocked. My HUmar can find one off a hildeblue. 10 minutes nothing yet. About 60 pipes and nothing.
This can be bad for your GC though. You can hear the GC spinning the disc drive quite hard. I suppose after a while (few thousand pipes) it might affect your CD drive. I doubt it, but its always a possibility.
A better way might to just go through levels. You have a chance of finding a rare monster and you get a chance of finding other rares from other monsters as well. If you really want a certain item, the best bet is to TP for it. You won't find many rare enemies just running through a level.
NOTE: After about 65 pipes, I finally found a Hildeblue. It dropped the Cure/Shock I wanted. Please note, rare enemies do not always drop their rare. Also, rare enemies are much stronger than their normal equivalents. You can be easily killed by them.

You know the piping trick, thing, whatever? I don't think it works on multiplayer....can this only be done in one player?:confused:

That's odd. 5 shots from my VIRSTA+25 killed it.
I suppose we're really lucky then?

I think it can be done in multiplayer... but why would you want to do that? You both have to enter the telepipe and you won't see if there is a rare enemy as easily. Just stick to doing it in one player is my suggestion.
Yes. But if you get up close then they can quite easily kill you in one. Also depends on the enemy and your level.

No. It's just a big version on an El Raappy. I don't know why it happens.
