Master’s Road
– Action mini-game
– Get to the goal while running through frequent traps and approaching monsters
– Use your monster’s ride techniques
– Master’s Road can be found all over
– Their entrances are not displayed on the map, but rather hidden quietly for you to find on your own in locations you might not normally step foot in
– An item called the “Heaven Guide Stone” is the key to Master’s Road
– Monsters will be wandering about
– Some of them will block your way as if they’re protectors of the path
– Blazing fires, rotating floors and other contraptions will block your way
– Switch out the monsters you’re riding and move forward
– If you fall off the map due to an an unforeseen circumstance, you’ll have to start again from the beginning
Gates to Different Dimensions
– In Break World, only with your Reactor can you find gates leading to another dimension
– Through these gates that cross space and time
– You will encounter the monster masters of a different world, unexpected monsters, other surprises
– There are powerful monsters wandering about the different world
– Make your preparations after discovering a gate and then jump in
– After jumping into the rip in space-time, you’ll see an environment unlike what you’ve seen before
– You’ll sometimes encounter masters outside of the protagonist
– Defeat them for items that will help you on your adventure
Super Vital Synthesis
– Synthesize two monsters to create a more powerful monster
– New synthesis method: “Super Vital Synthesis”
– Through Super Vital Synthesis, the combined monster’s strength-denoting Rank instantly rises to SS
– The characteristics held by the original monsters can be inherited by the newly born monster
– Ex: Super Vital Synthesizing a mimic (normal body, Absorb Magic, fast action) with a dragon slime (small body, Parameter Break, glance up) creates an SS-Rank Lumbering Machine that inherits the “fast action” of his parent, allowing him to attack before enemies
– Decide which size the child monster takes in a Super Vital Synthesis
– Ex: can create a compact-size Dragonlord to ride around
Take to the Heavens
– By riding on a giant monster, you can fly around freely in the sky
– Here you can find previously unseen monsters and lands
– In the sky fields, you can ride any monster if it’s big enough
– Size them up via Super Vital Synthesis and fly through the sky on your favorite monsters
