Welcome to the Monster Crown Trophy and Achievement guide! Monster Crown is a monster catching and battling game akin to Pokémon.
This list is a very obtainable one. Everything here except for two Trophies/Achievements are tied to story points. Everything here can be earned in a single playthrough and nothing is missable.
There are difficulty options, but there are no difficulty related Trophies and Achievements. So you can play on whatever difficulty you’d like.
The two non story related Trophies/Achievements are “Monster Professor” and “Brilliant!.” These are both tied to random encounters with monsters in the wild. “Monster Professor” should come fairly quickly as that is more common, but “Brilliant!” will likely take a while. The latter is tied to finding a brilliant monster. If you’re familiar with Pokémon, think of brilliant monsters as shinnies. If you’re unfamiliar with what a shiny is, they are different colored monsters than their default color. These are very rare and will take a lot time hunting to track one down.
Aside from that, this is a pretty relaxing list to complete. Although the post game content can be a little tough, there is nothing here that is overly difficult.
Potential Glitches
During my playthrough, I had two Steam Achievements not pop. Despite this, I’m fairly certain I know where they’re supposed to pop, but it’s something to look out for. “Learned of Pain” and “That’s a wrap Chief!” did not pop.

Then go north and speak to the prospectors at the cave entrance. After that, head back to town and speak with the prospector at the north end of town.

That’s a wrap Chief!
Won a hard-earned certification, much respect.
Speak to the man named Devon just past the northern exit of town. He will tell you that he is the Chief of town and that he is willing to battle you.
Before you battle him, save your game. If you lose, he gets to take one of your monsters. So if you lose, exit the game and reload your save. You can either try again or level up your monsters.

This is earned in Humanism Kingdom when you return after being taken back home as part of the story.
Enter the Kingdom and speak with the female NPC on the west side of town. She’ll have the blue icon next to her letting you know she is Chief of town. She’ll tell you that there is a Nautlus that refuses to go away and it is bugging her. From where you speak to her, go straight up north and you’ll find the Nautlus sitting near the edge of the water. All you have to do is battle it and defeat it.

Once inside, follow the NPC until it disappears. After that, make your way through the forest to the Northwest exit where you will find your Dad and a boss monster at level 27. Beat or recruit the boss to free your Dad.
Monster Mixer
Brought a brand new monster into the world!
After you rescue your Dad from the forest, you’ll gain access to breeding monsters. The breeder is found on your farm in the house to right side. This building was previously inaccessible before.
Speak to the woman inside and select two monsters to breed. You’ll end up with an egg and this will pop when the egg hatches.
Vera-y nice try
Wrecked a Root Ripper
This is earned by beating the boss monster inside of The Undergrowth Cave when pushing the seed around.
To Impress a King
Showed your Monster Breeding true colors!
This is earned by showing the King in Empathy Kingdom a gen 4 bred monster.
You can do this by first breeding two monsters caught in the wild. This will create a gen 2 monster. Repeat that again to get another gen 2 monster.
Breed the two gen 2 monsters to get a gen 3 monster. Do that again to get a second gen 3 monster.
Breed the two gen 3 monsters and they’ll produce a gen 4 monster. I know this sounds like a whole thing, but the eggs hatch very quickly, so this shouldn’t take that long.
You can tell what gen a monster is by looking at the number in the crown next to its health bar. When you have a gen 4, put it in your party and speak to the King in Empathy Kingdom.
Dragon Tamer
Tamed the reckless dragon Gyn!
This quest can be completed up in Empathy Kingdom. Enter the first house on the left as you enter the city. Speak to the NPC named Vyrnia inside surrounded by three monsters. Answer “Dragons” to her question and she will use an Atomic Clock on the Enigma Egg that you acquired earlier in the game.
Nothing will hatch and you will need to go find another Atomic Clock. These can be found by picking up random Lost Tamer Packs. There is also one found in the cave to the north of Empathy Kingdom. Go get it and bring it back to Vyrnia.
She will use the second clock on the egg and Gyn will hatch. It’ll then take off to the cave north of Empathy Kingdom.
Gyn will be level 40, so make sure your monsters are ready and be stocked up on Pacts.
TCG!
Became a true card collector
This is earned by speaking to an NPC in Empathy Kingdom. He can be found in the lower half of town on the east side standing just above a house.
Speak to him and he’ll tell you about card collecting and will then give you his old binder which will pop this.
Monster Transformation!
Transformed your first monster!
Transforming a monster is a little bit like an evolution, except the monsters in Monster Crown don’t evolve by leveling up. Instead, you will need to use items to transform them. Not all of them can transform and only certain items can be used on certain monsters.
Some of the transformations are permanent and others are used only during battles.
- Atomic Clock
- Apo’s Light
- Anti-Fungal
- Super Gro
- Ferrorizer
- Frostbite
- Book of the Dead
- Burning Sky
- Subtractor Gem

When you get to Frosbec, go into the building to the north and get a tour of it from the Mayor. After the tour, Mary will enter and ask you to help her son learn to skate. Go to the frozen lake in the center of town. After skating a few laps, Mark will leave to the north. Go meet him and follow him into the house.
There will be a tamer battle in the house. After the battle, exit the house and make your way east to a cave. Make your way through the cave and follow the path all the way around until you come to an exit. Take the exit the and there will be a short path outside that leads you back in.

After another cutscene, your new friends will want to follow you to the power plant on the north side of town. Go to the power plant for more cutscenes and you will eventually end up in a different area of the plant.
You’ll be able ride on the purple items with the magnet like logo on them. They work just like the canoe mechanic from earlier. Ride across these and bring batteries back to open doors for your group to walk through.
You will eventually have to face two Vult bosses in here as well.

This questline can be started after you show a gen 4 monster to the King in Empathy Kingdom. Exit the kingdom and go southeast and enter the tower.
Travel to Appenton and then enter the Academy in the center of town. Go up the stairs to the second floor and speak to the two students are talking to each other near the staircase. During this cutscene, you’ll be shown a mural. You’re going to have to memorize the mural. Or you can just look below for an image.
Go back down the stairs and you’ll meet Anne. She’ll now follow you. Leave the Academy and go straight down near the statue in front of the Academy and she will tell you it’s a puzzle.
It’ll look a little confusing at first, but you only need to focus on the highlighted four corner pictures. Theses will have red lines in them. All you have to do is recreate the mural from the Academy in these four spots in the order they were pictured in on the mural.
After that, a staircase will open under the statue.
Down below you will need to stand on panels in order to open the doors in each room. You can command Anne to stand on them while you stand on the others. Use Thunder power if you completed “Desert Power” already to activate them by pressing 
> Thunder > 
or 
> Thunder >
.
On the fifth floor, there will be a tamer battle against Sage. After the battle, save your game and speak to Anne. You will both step on the panels and Amidia will give you an Ultimate Pact. For the Pokémon fans playing, this is the equivalent to the Master Ball. There is only one of them and it will recruit any Monster without fail. You don’t need to use this right now. These bosses are fairly easy to recruit.
After that, the battle against Amidia will start.

The choice will be between siding with David or with the gangsters. This takes place in Hewston. You can reach Hewston by going east from Frobec and crossing through the Underwater Pass.
You’ll need to use the Thunder power to slam on more panels down here. Use the Frost power to get across the sections of the cave that open up holes. They look like black Xs on the ground.
When you exit the cave and enter the island, you’ll immediately be thrown into a cutscene where you will need to make your decision.

These will work the same way as other monsters in the wild. They will be roaming the area and you just need to walk close to them to initiate the battle.
All you have to do is catch one of these. You don’t have to actually name it in order for this to pop.
Brilliant!
Located an exclusive one-in-a-grand Brilliant Monster!
This is earned for finding a brilliant monster. If you’re a Pokamon fan, you can liken this to finding a shiny monster. In Monster Crown, these are known as Brilliant or Rainbow monsters.
Thanks for writing! It’s really helpful, though I cannot find a way to reach the two gangsters located in Charity kindom behind the castle. There’re trees everywhere. Could you please to add a picture or describe the WAY where to stop them? how? I’m totally lost. saad
When you get to Charity, go left and exit the town to Wetland Province and then head north next to the sign. Continue going north until you see a small staircase that’ll get you up on a ledge. Go up the stairs and head to the right. There are two orange plants. Go past those and then go down over the white colored plant. It looks like its blocking you, but it isn’t. You can reach the back end through here.
Many thanks ;D, I appreciate your time and patient. Your response is so cheerful to me.
Sadly the white flower is actually the place where blocks me, there’s a rock in front of it and no matter how hard I tried I cannot pass it.
Maybe I should reset the game on Steam to see if that can solve the problem or perhaps it’s the bug I cannot challenge with Chief tamer in Empathy kindom so that I stuck at lv.8 tamer which stop the story from going on to the end. Do you have any idea about whether there is a shortcut key to move on lv.9 tamer directly? It used to be “9” in Steam reviews but it won’t work now.
Anyway it’s a great game. Most people in my region only knows about Monster Sanctuary instead of Monster Crown. Your review is the best and completed one so far I read. I’ll share it with my friends and hopefully they’ll give it a shot. ＼(^▽^)／ Thank You
hmm okay. You may have a story part not completed just yet in that case. I do not know the shortcut key.
Yessss! I ask other players who made it, they said I might replay the game frome the begining or report the bug to the devs. XDD Suffering I guess, play all the way through but unable to see the end of the story.
Hooray＼(＾∀＾)メ(＾∀＾)ノI write an email to the devs last Friday, he reply me just now says “He will look into this and get back to me asap.”
Thanks Dayngls (≧∇≦)ﾉ You’re the first one who help me on these bugs, couldn’t wait to share the latest news with you hoping you might want to know.
Many face the same bug too on Steam community hub in the Discussion zone, SUB FORUMS “bug reports”. I consider there will be a better version of MC soon and problems will be tackled in days.
Good to hear they’re aware. Hope it’s fixed soon!
Great guide! What’s your estimation on time to platinum?
Thank you! I would say about 15 hours. Maybe 20 depending on the post game bosses
Thanks a lot! Love your passion for this game. There’s not really much content out there. Keep it up!
