Best Monsters to Capture

Prologue & Chapter 1 Monsters

Sylph and Undine

Both Sylph and Undine use White Wind that heals all allies with restorative magic. These enemies can be found during the Prologue and in Chapter 1, respectively.

Having these captured enemies comes in useful especially when facing rare monsters or bosses that counter White Magic.

Orc Leader

Capturing an Orc Leader lets you use its Encourage ability, which increases your attack power by 15%. This ability can be obtained as early as Chapter 1 and can still be used in later battles.

These monsters can be found in Wiswald Woods near the dungeon's entrance.

Chapter 3 Monsters

Crystalcap Mountain Monsters

Most of the monsters found in the Crystal Cap Mountain in Enderno are powerful in their own right.

These enemies include Sleipnir, which uses Acid Breath which reduces Magic Defense and Physical Defense by 15%. Triffid has the Tempest ability, a powerful attack that hits all enemies. Lastly, Lapislion uses a powerful Dark elemental magic called Doomsday.

All of these enemies can be found as early as Chapter 3.

Chapter 4 Monsters

Ruined Mageling

Two Story Bosses in Chapter 4 are weak to Light and the Ruined Mageling casts a more powerful Light elemental magic called Banishga that can easily defeat the bosses.

These monsters can be found in the Wrecked Institute west of Wiswald.

Dagon Shieldbearer

The Dagon Shieldbearer, when used in battle, casts Vallation which protects the team from a single magical attack.

This monster comes in useful when battling the Story Boss in Wiswald as he only attacks with magic.

Chapter 5

Ench-ant-er

Before facing the Story Boss found in the Wind Room in Chapter 5, capture some Ench-ant-ers in Holograd first.

These monsters cast Tornado, a powerful Wind elemental magic attack. Having a party member use this, along with a Red Mage, can help make the battle easy as the boss never counters magic attacks.

Antiphates

The last Story Boss in Chapter 5 is susceptible to Contagion and the Antiphates's Sickly Spittle has a chance to inflict the said status ailment when used.

Kobold

The secret boss in Chapter 6 can generate BP when getting attacked and may knock out your entire party if he braves three times.

To combat this, capture some Kobolds at the Treetop Tower in Wiswald. These monsters use the Brave Robber ability, which lets you steal 1 BP from a target and add it to yours.

Rafflesia

One Quest Boss in Chapter 6 is weak to Dark and if you don't have an Arcanist on your party, capturing some Rafflesias can make the battle a bit easier.

Siamese Cait

Most of the enemies found in the Isle of Nothingness are weak to light and having some captured Siamese Caits may come in handy when dealing with them.

Sizzlemoth

One particular boss in the Hall of Tribulation is susceptible to the Charm status ailment. If you don't have ingredients to create a Charm Bomb, capturing some Sizzlemoths is an alternative.
