Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered's Best Research Point Grind Revealed

The roar of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is met with a familiar challenge for those looking to unlock everything the game has to offer: a hefty grind for Research Points. These points are the currency of the G-Force Research Division, essential for unlocking new monsters, stages, and behind-the-scenes extras. While simply playing the game does award these points, a more efficient method exists, a technique that harks back to the original game but has been refined for the remastered experience.

The Kiryu Survival Mode Strategy

The core of the most effective Research Point grinding method involves unlocking the formidable Kiryu from the game's research tree. Once Kiryu is available, your next step is to dive into Survival Mode. For the arena, select Monster Island as your map. This particular setup is crucial for executing the exploit that drastically speeds up your Research Point accumulation. The goal here is to leverage Kiryu's unique abilities and the environmental hazards of Monster Island to your advantage, creating a loop that consistently yields points with minimal risk once mastered.

Mastering the Lava Pit Tactic

Upon starting a Survival Mode match on Monster Island with Kiryu, the strategy is direct and brutal. As soon as the match begins, fire a rocket. The AI opponent is programmed to block this initial attack, creating a small window of opportunity. Immediately close the distance and grab the AI. The key is to position yourself near the wall where the AI spawns. Monster Island features a treacherous lava pit, and with Kiryu's fierce attack, you can launch the unsuspecting opponent directly into it. Once submerged, the enemy will suffer continuous damage, ticking away at their health at a rate of 10 points per second. Your primary objective is to keep them locked in this fiery abyss. If they attempt to escape, simply repeat the grab-and-toss maneuver. While the wall usually contains them, there are rare instances where they might 'wall hug' and avoid damage. In such cases, persistence is key to re-establishing the lava trap. This method, while demanding precision, significantly accelerates the Research Point grind, allowing players to unlock content much faster than through standard play.

What's Next

While this method offers a clear path to unlocking content, players seeking to bypass grinding altogether can utilize Tournament Mode, though it comes with the caveat of disabling Research and Level progression. For those committed to the full experience, mastering the Kiryu lava pit strategy in Survival Mode is currently the most efficient route to a complete roster.
