Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin features many returning creatures from the main Monster Hunter series. With so many unique and imaginative monsters, fans of the franchise each have their own individual favorites. One monster that has been popular since its debut in Monster Hunter: World is the Tobi Kadachi. This guide will help players find the Tobi Kadachi location so that they can recruit it as a Monstie companion in Monster Hunter Stories 2.

Players will first encounter Tobi Kadachi during the main story events around Kuan Village. At the time, the party will be searching for materials to repair the town's windmills. This quest culminates in a boss fight against the electrifying monster. Afterward, fans may want to find more Tobi Kadachi for the sake of getting materials for gear or completing a repeatable subquest that offers Flashbugs as a reward. Gamers should keep in mind that crafting certain pieces of equipment will require mid-grade ore materials at this point in the adventure.

Where to Find Tobi Kadachi in Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

After defeating Tobi Kadachi as a boss enemy during the events of the main story, it will be possible to find it as an enemy in the wild. Specifically, Tobi Kadachi can be found repeatedly at the location in Loloska Rocky Canyon where it was originally encountered. As usual, the guaranteed way to get specific eggs in Monster Hunter Stories 2 is to encounter the desired monster and force it to retreat with a Paintball. Alternatively, lucky Riders may find a Tobi Kadachi egg in rare dens in or around Loloska Rocky Canyon.

For those looking to farm Tobi Kadachi for materials or for a chance at an egg, it will help to know the monster's habits and weaknesses. Tobi Kadachi primarily uses Speed attacks and most body parts are weak to slashing damage. For an even greater advantage, Riders can bring the water element to bear for massive effectiveness.

One great Monster Hunter Stories 2 pro tip is that each monster has a specific quirk for raising its retreat rate. In the case of Tobi Kadachi, players who use a hunting horn to break the tail will have a higher chance of forcing the monster to retreat.

Like many popular monsters, Tobi Kadachi will be a frequent target for players who want to get their favorite Monsties in the party. While finding a 3-star monster like Tobi Kadachi is certainly easier than trying to get an Elder Dragon egg, it still takes work to hunt down a specific monster. And since Tobi Kadachi is one of the first accessible Monsties other than a Velocidrome to have the Jump ride action, it's well worth the effort.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is now available for the Nintendo Switch and PC.
