Incubating your own powerful monster team is the key to completing the mission Monster Hunter Story 2.
However, you need to consider more than 81 different rideable monsters when farming. Best eggs.

Each monster companion has basic data, which can be improved according to the quality of the eggs hatched, and a gene table, which can also provide them with rewards.
This system is one of the more confusing systems in Monster Hunter Stories 2, because there is not much in-game explanation at the beginning of your adventure.
That’s why we have compiled all the information needed to hatch the best eggs in Monster Hunter Stories 2, with a handy explainer on how to make the most of monster genes.
Where to get the best eggs in Monster Hunter Stories 2
There are many different ways to collect eggs in Monster Hunter Stories 2, but not all methods are equally worth your time.
You can get eggs from the following locations:
- Get a new monster story event
- Random regular monster lairs and static Everdens
- Force the monsters to retreat from the battle, creating a nest that is more likely to get their eggs
- Randomly appearing golden monster lair
In various nests, the eggs you find can be obtained by their weight and smell.
When you pick up the eggs, Navirou will tell you the weight and smell of the eggs, and you are trying to collect the heaviest and best-smelling eggs, but don’t over-collect them and let them all disappear.
There are three types of eggs: standard eggs with only basic smell and weight grade, golden eggs with additional basic attributes, and rainbow eggs with the popular rainbow gene.
Generally speaking, when you pick an egg that sparkles when you pick it up, you are the winner.
The best eggs are most likely to lay in golden monster lairs, so it is a good idea to visit them every time they appear.
If you want to collect eggs from specific monsters, try to make paintballs and then use them from the inventory during battle. At low health, monsters can retreat from paintball shooting and spawn a nest, where you are more likely to get one of their eggs.
Don’t worry about getting multiples of the same monster; as the game progresses, they will be useful later-or you can release them without any penalty.
How to breed the best eggs in Monster Hunter Stories 2
If you really want to grind the best eggs in Monster Hunter Stories 2, then you can do something to increase your chances.
YouTuber TwoSixNine explains this method well in the video embedded below, but basically, you want to use Finding Charms and Finding Prayer in the prayer pot next to the exit of Mahana Village, and then quickly travel back and forth between the areas you want Farming.

After reaching the desired location, jump into the map and click on the nearest Catavan stand, then quickly go to that stand.
This operation will reset the area, and hopefully, a rare monster lair should be generated. Then you can loot the monster lair, take the eggs, and reset the area over and over again to get more chances to get rare eggs.
What are the genes in Monster Hunter Stories 2?
Every monster has a genetic grid, these genes determine its power and abilities.
This is a confusing system early in the game because it will not be fully utilized until you unlock the psychic ritual.
The psychic ritual allows you to provide redundant or repeated monsters and insert their best genes into the monsters you actually use.
When you upgrade a monstie partner, you will unlock more slots and genes on their grid, which gives them more gains and abilities.
You can replace old genes with better ones, or upgrade existing genes by providing monsters with the same type of genes.
All genes also have colors and types. If you arrange genes of the same color or type in a row or row in the grid, the monster will also receive an additional “Bingo reward.”
As we mentioned before, rainbow genes are the best because they can match any other color genes, but using psychic rituals can easily add many good genes to your favorite monster.
Decompose everything as simply as possible: You provide monsters you don’t want, get their best genes and put them into your team’s gene grid, while trying to arrange rows of the same color and type.
If you are more of a warrior than a collector, here is a list of each monster attack type and weapon weakness in Monster Hunter Story 2 that we continue to list.
