poaching in chapter 1

[eestlinc]

i know you can't go to a fur shop until chapter 2, but if you poach monsters in chapter 1 can you sell them in chapter two?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

You get to buy the things you poach in chapter two, yes. I've found most of the stuff you poach in chapter one to be fairly useless though.

[eestlinc]

yea, I figured as much, but at least you can. I ran into a party of five uribo's on the mandalia plains, though.

What can you get from poaching? Is there a list somewhere?

[eestlinc]

There are a few on gamefaqs

I hope you invited one of those Uribos. Letting them breed into Porkies and Wildbows yields awesome results!

[eestlinc]

i was joking i wish i did. can you even run into them until late in the game?

[Despotus]

Ha, good one! You had me fooled. I think Zigolas Swamp in Ch. 2 is the first place you might see one.

I find most of the stuff you can poach in ch. 1 to be fairly useless...

Unless you're into breeding, those crappy ch. 1 monsters can be bred into Red Chocobos, Sacreds, Great Morbols, and other advanced species which can give you decent items.

It's Chapter 3 when you can enter a Fur Shop....

Chapter 2 is when the Propositions open up...

Wow!! What are Uribos anyway? Haven't seen any. Are they strong? I have read that you can get good items if you poach them. Where can I find some of these Uribo monsters?

[Despotus]

I think Zigolas Swamp in Ch. 2 is the first place you might see one.

In the first battle there, you might get to fight (i mean, invite) a Uribo. If you don't get a Uribo, reset and try again.

[greymon138]

Oh yeah, I saw the Uribo. Its so cute!! I invited it using a train skill on my knight
(lucky me!).I also breed it and now I have a porky. That porky is icky, it uses pooh--. I haven't seen that Uribo in Zigolas swamp in my last game. Good thing I joined this forum.

As heartless as it sounds, be sure to poach your excess allied monsters. You get especially nifty stuff from the Uribo and Hydra classes.

[greymon138]

Okay, Hydra and Uribos, I'll remember to poach them up! But, I just saw an Hyudra, Hydra and Tiamat in the battle with Balk, which means even if I poach them, I can't get their Items.... Are there any places(earlier in the game) where you can find a Hyudra, Hydra and Tiamat? I want to get one of them as allies. Or even breed them to make..... oh also, which of these Hydras is the strongest?

[BG-57]

The first storyline battle you can get them is a pair of Hyrudras in Nelveska Temple. Use Train to recruit one; Invite has a low chance of success. They also appear as random encounters in END in deep dungeon.

Hyrudras are bright orange and the weakest type.

Hydras are black and are the medium type.

Tiamats are gold and are the strongest type. They may in fact be the best recruitable monster in the game. They have multiple attacks, can fly and have insane strength and power.
