help Monster Sanctuary FAQ

How does team combat work in Monster Sanctuary?

Battles normally use teams of three monsters, with actions building a combo counter that strengthens later attacks. Team synergy, buffs, debuffs and passive skills matter more than relying on one overleveled creature.

What do monster abilities unlock during exploration?

Each monster has an exploration ability that can open routes or interact with the environment. Examples include flying across gaps, breaking hidden walls and activating elemental switches.

Can every monster evolve in Monster Sanctuary?

No. Only certain monsters have evolution forms, usually triggered by specific catalysts at the Ancient Woods' Tree of Evolution. Most monsters instead develop through skill trees and Light or Dark shifting.

Which platforms can run Monster Sanctuary?

Monster Sanctuary launched in 2020 for Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. It was developed by Moi Rai Games and published by Team17.
