How to Breed a Ghazt: A Comprehensive Guide to Ethereal Success
The Ghazt, a shimmering, translucent monster in My Singing Monsters, is highly sought after by players for its unique sound and ethereal beauty. Breeding this elusive creature can be challenging, but with the right combination and a bit of luck, you can add it to your monster collection. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of breeding a Ghazt, providing detailed steps, tips, and troubleshooting advice to increase your chances of success.
Understanding the Ghazt
Before diving into the breeding process, it’s essential to understand what makes the Ghazt unique.
- Element: Ethereal
- Appearance: A ghostly, blue figure with glowing eyes and a keyboard that it plays.
- Sound: Produces a synth-like melody that blends seamlessly into island songs.
- Breeding Difficulty: Considered a difficult monster to breed due to its ethereal nature and specific breeding requirements.
- Placement: Ghazts can be placed on Plant Island, Cold Island, Air Island, Water Island, Earth Island, Gold Island, Ethereal Island, and Composer Island.
The Breeding Combination
The Ghazt is bred using a specific combination of monsters that, when combined, have a chance of producing this elusive Ethereal. The correct combination is:
Enbrat + T-Rox
Let’s break down why this combination works:
- Enbrat: A three-element monster, combining Plant, Earth, and Cold elements.
- T-Rox: A three-element monster, combining Plant, Water, and Earth elements.
The overlapping elements, particularly the Plant and Earth elements, create the potential for breeding a Ghazt. The key is that neither parent monster has the Air element, which prevents the creation of a Reebro. Also, you CAN use monsters with 4 elements to breed Ghazts. The trick is to use monsters that contain the elements of the breeding pair, namely Plant, Water, Earth, and Cold. So, for example, a Quarrister (Plant, Earth, Water, Cold) can be used in either the place of an Enbrat or a T-Rox to breed a Ghazt. Experimentation is key, and you might find a combination of four-element monsters that works well for you.
Step-by-Step Breeding Guide
Follow these steps carefully to maximize your chances of breeding a Ghazt:
- Upgrade Your Breeding Structure: Upgrading your Breeding Structure (Breeding Structure or Enhanced Breeding Structure) is crucial. The Enhanced Breeding Structure reduces breeding time by 25%, allowing for more attempts in a shorter period. This is a significant advantage when trying to breed a rare monster like the Ghazt.
- Level Up Your Monsters: Level up both your Enbrat and T-Rox to at least level 15 (or higher, if possible). Higher-level monsters have a better chance of producing rare offspring. Leveling up requires feeding them treats, which you can obtain by growing food in your bakery. Feeding your monsters to level 15 or higher will increase the chance of breeding a Ghazt.
- Place the Monsters in the Breeding Structure: Select your Enbrat and T-Rox and place them in the Breeding Structure. Ensure you select the correct monsters and haven’t accidentally chosen different ones.
- Wish for Luck: Before initiating the breeding process, use the Wishing Torch feature. Lighting Wishing Torches increases the chances of breeding rare monsters. You can light your own torches using diamonds or ask friends to light them for you. The more lit torches, the higher your chances of success.
- Start the Breeding Process: Initiate the breeding process by tapping the “Breed” button. The breeding time for a failed attempt will be displayed.
- Wait Patiently (or Use Diamonds): Breeding times can be lengthy. The breeding time for a Ghazt is 36 hours. Be patient and wait for the breeding process to complete. If you are impatient, you can use diamonds to speed up the process, but this can be costly.
- Check the Result: Once the breeding is complete, check the result in the Nursery. If you see a Ghazt egg (a translucent blue egg), congratulations! If not, repeat the process.
- Incubate the Egg: Place the Ghazt egg in the Nursery to incubate. The incubation time is also 36 hours. Again, you can use diamonds to speed up the incubation process.
- Place Your Ghazt: Once the Ghazt is hatched, place it on an island where it can contribute to the island’s song. Ghazts can be placed on Plant Island, Cold Island, Air Island, Water Island, Earth Island, Gold Island, Ethereal Island, and Composer Island.
Tips and Tricks for Increased Success
Breeding a Ghazt is largely based on chance, but there are several tips and tricks you can use to improve your odds:
- Use Wishing Torches: As mentioned earlier, Wishing Torches significantly increase your chances of breeding rare monsters. Try to have as many torches lit as possible. You can ask friends to light them for you or use diamonds to light them yourself. Actively participating in a tribe can help with torch lighting as well.
- Maximize Happiness: Happy monsters breed better! Ensure your Enbrat and T-Rox are happy by placing decorations they like near them. Decorations that increase happiness include trees, paths, and unique structures. You can check a monster’s likes in the monster’s info panel.
- Breed During Events: My Singing Monsters often hosts special events that increase breeding chances for specific monsters. Keep an eye on the game’s announcements and try breeding during these events to take advantage of the increased odds.
- Be Patient and Persistent: Breeding a Ghazt can take many attempts. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t succeed immediately. Keep trying, and eventually, you’ll get lucky. Consistency is key.
- Consider the Enhanced Breeding Structure: The 25% time reduction offered by the enhanced breeding structure makes a significant difference in the long run. The faster you can attempt the breeding, the faster you’ll get a Ghazt.
- Check the Monster Level: Ensure that both monsters being bred are at least level 15, or even higher if possible. This has a direct impact on the likelihood of breeding rarer monsters.
- Try different combinations: While Enbrat and T-Rox is the suggested breeding pair, experiment. As discussed before, use monsters with the same elements. For instance, breed a Quarrister and T-Rox, or an Enbrat and Quarrister.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes, despite following all the steps, you may encounter issues. Here are some common problems and their solutions:
- Not Getting a Ghazt After Many Attempts: This is the most common issue. Breeding a Ghazt is heavily reliant on chance. Keep trying, and make sure you’re maximizing your chances with torches, happiness, and leveled-up monsters.
- Accidentally Breeding the Wrong Combination: Double-check that you’ve selected the correct monsters before initiating the breeding process. It’s easy to make mistakes, especially if you have many monsters on your island.
- Running Out of Diamonds: Using diamonds to speed up breeding and incubation can be tempting, but it can quickly deplete your diamond reserves. Try to be patient and only use diamonds sparingly, especially if you’re a free-to-play player. Focus on maximizing torch lighting and monster happiness instead.
- Not Enough Food to Level Up Monsters: Growing food takes time and resources. Prioritize upgrading your bakeries to increase food production. Also, participate in events and quests to earn extra food rewards.
- Full Nursery: If your Nursery is full, you won’t be able to incubate a new egg. Make sure to place or sell existing monsters to free up space in the Nursery.
The Importance of Joining a Tribe
Joining a tribe in My Singing Monsters provides numerous benefits that can indirectly help with breeding rare monsters like the Ghazt.
- Torch Lighting: Tribes often have members who are willing to light torches for each other, increasing the overall breeding chances.
- Stones: Contributing to your tribe can earn you starpower, which you can then use to buy Stones. Placing stones on your monster’s island will boost the rate at which the monster generates currency.
- Inspiration: Being part of a community can provide motivation and inspiration to keep trying. Seeing other players succeed can encourage you to continue your own breeding efforts.
Alternative Breeding Strategies
While the Enbrat + T-Rox combination is the most common method for breeding a Ghazt, some players have reported success with alternative strategies. These strategies often involve using different combinations of three-element monsters or incorporating four-element monsters that share the same elemental composition.
- Experiment with Combinations: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations of monsters. As long as the monsters have the necessary elements (Plant, Earth, Water, and Cold) and don’t include Air, you have a chance of breeding a Ghazt.
- Use Four-Element Monsters: Four-element monsters like the Quarrister (Plant, Earth, Water, Cold) can be used in place of either the Enbrat or the T-Rox. Try breeding a Quarrister with a T-Rox or an Enbrat.
The Joy of Owning a Ghazt
Breeding a Ghazt can be a challenging but rewarding experience. Once you finally add this ethereal monster to your collection, you’ll be able to enjoy its unique sound and beautiful appearance. The Ghazt’s synth-like melody adds a magical touch to any island song, and its translucent form is a sight to behold.
Moreover, owning a Ghazt is a testament to your dedication and perseverance as a My Singing Monsters player. It’s a symbol of your commitment to the game and your willingness to overcome challenges.
Beyond the Ghazt: Breeding Other Ethereals
Once you’ve successfully bred a Ghazt, you may be inspired to try breeding other Ethereal monsters. Each Ethereal has its own unique breeding combination and challenges, but the principles remain the same: level up your monsters, light Wishing Torches, maximize happiness, and be patient.
Some popular Ethereals to consider breeding include:
- Grumpyre: Bred on Cold Island using a combination of monsters.
- Reebro: Bred on Air Island using a combination of monsters.
- Jeeode: Bred on Water Island using a combination of monsters.
- Humbug: Bred on Earth Island using a combination of monsters.
Each Ethereal adds a unique sound and aesthetic to your islands, making them a valuable addition to your collection.
