Totomostro

The Totomostro is about one thing, and one thing only: bloodsport! Yep, cruel though it may be, you can gamble on the prowess of a team of monsters, which will then fight to death for you amusement. Gamble correctly and you’ll win medals, your winnings will vary depending upon the odds assigned to the monster team you bet on (which varies by the type of monster(s) that comprise that team). You can buy medals at the rate of 10 gil per medal, and you can bet up to 9,999 medals in a single match. Considering that some items you can redeem your medals for cost up to 3,600,000 medals… that can take an insane amount of gil, so you’ll have to put in the time at the arena is you want the best prizes.

So, buy a starter fund of medals and gamble yourself up until you can start dropping the max medals down on each fight. You can’t save/load in the arena itself, but there’s no shame in securing your initial investment by save/loading between fights to ensure you’re not flushing gil down the drain. After one or two successful fights at 9,999 medals, you should have enough medals to cover any infrequent losses.

Bet on monster teams,and if your team wins (left) you’ll earn medals equal to the number of medals wagered multipled by the odds (right).

Of course, the only way to keep your losses infrequent is to know what monsters to bet on, and this is part common sense, part learning. Some monsters are just far stronger than others - you can usually take a Coeurl to the bank. In general, you should disregard the level of a monster, as it rarely means much in terms of what will win the fight. Something that does matter, however, which varies battle by battle, is each monster team’s condition. This is denoted by a series of blue arrows near the monster team’s odds in the “Wager” menu. A low condition monster isn’t as strong as a high condition equivalent, and this can sway thing just enough to cause some upsets.

What monsters you should pick largely depends on the type of monster (Coeurls and Iron Giants are usually pretty safe bets), their condition, and what and how many monsters they’re fighting against, with the first two factors being the most determination of success. Unfortunately, luck also plays a role in the outcome of battles - if your high-condition Gigantoad decides to hop into the middle of two groups of fast, little critters that focus their attention in it… well, you might not be happy with the outcome. Generally, all condition values being equal, in a one-on-one fight you should pick multi-animal teams (especially Sabertusk variants), as they’re likely to gang up on the lone opposition and defeat them. In multi-team battles, endurance becomes more important (especially when you bolster your monster with the Horn of Fortitude).

Aside from learning which matchups work well for your medal collection, the only way you’ll participate actively in the arena is via horns. Randomly during bouts you’ll get a prompt to blow your horn - mash the Circle/B button to fill up the meter and grant your horn’s effect (the Horn of Fortitude will see you through the arena just fine). If no monster team wins in the time limit, the match will end in a draw and you’ll get back whatever you bet… basically just a waste of time.

Below is a list of the items you can win at the Totomostro:

Prizes Medals
Magitek Generator 3,600,000
+Onion Bangle 2,400,000
Diamond Bracelet 1,250,000
Big Bang 450,000
+Centurion Bangle 450,000
Mythic Color Samples 360,000
+Emerald Bracelet 360,000
Arapalma Roe 240,000
Enforcer 180,000
Precision Lance 120,000
Llymlaen 85,000
+Platinum Bangle 85,000
Big Master Typhon 45,000
Silver Bangle 34,000
Turbocharger 15,000
+Behemoth Tenderloin 15,000
Coeurl Whiskers 7,500
Great Garula Tusk 2,500

There are a few unique items you can redeem here, and when you get them, they’ll be replaced by other items that you can buy multiple times. For example, once you buy the Llymlaen reel it’ll be replaced by a Platinum Bangle. As you can probably guess, some of the top prizes in the arena will take an absurd amount of time to earn, and it’s worth pondering… is it worth it?

If you do obtain the Magitek Generator (which removes the need for fuel for the Regalia) it’ll be replaced by an Onion Bangle, a very nice item that gives the massive boost of +2,500 HP. Of course, it’s going to cost 3,600,000 medals for the Magitek Generator, then 2,400,000 medals for each Onion Bangle. The latter might be worth your time, but the former? You’ll be saving at best hundreds of gil with the Magitek Generator, and once you upgrade the Regalia to the Regalia Type-F, you’ll have unlimited fuel anyways. Plus, 6,000,000 medals for an Onion Bangle is far more time-consuming that just playing 10,000 gil Justice Monsters V for the same prize.

For the sake of completionism, it might be worth grabbing an Enforcer and a Precision Lance, but otherwise, unless you have to grab every decal and accessory for the Regalia, just do enough to get the Llymlaen reel, which will make finishing Navyth’s fishing questline a bit easier.

After a years-long cold war between the Kingdom of Lucis and the empire of Niflheim over the world’s last crystal, an armistice is finally agreed upon. As part of the peace treaty, the heir to the Lucian throne Noctis Lucis Caelum is to marry Lady Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, an oracle from the imperial province of Tenebrae. After Noctis sets out to meet his betrothed, the treaty collapses. Merely a ruse to bring down the magical barrier protecting Lucis, Niflheim invades and takes the kingdom and the crystal for itself. With the treaty in tatters and his father and betrothed believed dead, Noctis must rely on his own tenacity and the support of his band of loyal followers to get him through what is to come.
