Monster Hunter Stories 2 Paintball Guide

Published Date :

Paintball is one of the most essential items you need to bring into a battle. It increases any monster’s retreat rate for the next 3 turns. This is very vital to follow the monster to the den and collect its eggs to hatch. So with such importance, you need to carry as many paintballs as you can into a battle. For all those hunters looking up to step up their game, here’s how to get more paintballs in our Monster Hunter Stories 2 Paintball Guide.

How to Get More Paintball in Monster Hunter Stories 2?

To get more Paintball in Monster Hunter Stories 2, you need to create them in your Combine Tab using x1 Sap Plant & x1 Paintberry.

By selecting Combine, you will get all the recipes of all items you can create. Click on Paintball to create and get more Paintballs in MHS 2.

How to Get & Use more Paintball in Monster Hunter Stories 2
You can create and use Paintball to make Monsters Retreat, & easily collect monstie eggs from their den.

Paintballs work best on low HP monsters in a battle. This is because you will have to defeat the said monster within the next 3 turns. To do this, select Painballfrom your items during your turn. Then throw it on the monster with the low HP. Defeat the monster within the next three moves to initiate a retreat. The monster will flee back to its den, from where you will be able to collect its egg. Also, make sure to increase Stable Slots if you are keen on farming monstie eggs. Also, note that making a monster retreat will not increase your chance of collecting a rare egg from its den. For that, we have a special guide to help you find the Rare Eggs in MHS 2. And there is a different process altogether to make Royal Monsters Retreat, so take a look at that if you are planning to add Royal Monsties to your collection.
