Looking to unlock characters and maps faster in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered? You’ll need plenty of Research Points to unlock new content, and earning them through normal gameplay can take some time.
In this guide, I’ll show you two effective methods to farm Research Points faster. The first method uses Kiryu in Survival Mode to throw enemies into a lava pit on Monster Island, while the second method uses Megalon’s Burrow and Drill Slam attacks to defeat opponents quickly.
Godzilla Destroy Remastered Research Points Guide
Both strategies can help you complete research projects and unlock monsters like Orga and Mechagodzilla Showa without spending too much time grinding. Choose whichever method works best for you and follow the steps below.
Method 1 – Farm Research Points Using Kiryu
This method takes advantage of Survival Mode’s 2x Research Points bonus. You’ll use Kiryu’s grab attacks to throw enemies into a lava pit on Monster Island, where they continuously take damage.
Step 1 – Unlock Kiryu
Before you can use this farming method, you’ll need to unlock Kiryu first.
Head into the research system and spend your Research Points to complete Kiryu’s research. Once you’ve unlocked him, you can start farming.
Step 2 – Select Kiryu and Start Survival Mode
Select Kiryu and set up a Survival Mode match.
Use the following settings:
- Character: Kiryu
- Game Mode: Survival
- Map: Monster Island
Make sure you select Survival Mode because it provides 2x Research Points. This bonus is an important part of the farming strategy.
Step 3 – Make the AI Block Your Rockets
When the match starts, use Kiryu’s rocket attacks against your opponent. One rocket should be enough to make the AI start blocking.
Once the opponent is blocking, get close to them by running or jumping toward them. Your next goal is to grab the opponent and move them toward the lava pit.
Step 4 – Throw Your Opponent Into the Lava Pit
After grabbing your opponent, move toward the wall behind the area where the AI spawns.
This wall separates the arena from a lava pit. While holding your opponent, use Kiryu’s Fierce attack to launch them over the wall and into the lava.
- Xbox: Press X while grabbing.
- PlayStation: Press Square while grabbing.
If you perform this correctly, your opponent should land inside the lava pit without breaking the wall.
Once they’re inside, the lava will deal 10 damage regardless of whether they’re blocking or not.
Step 5 – Keep Your Opponent Inside the Lava
Now that your opponent is in the lava pit, your main objective is to keep them there.
If they get close to escaping, grab them again and throw them back into the lava.
- Xbox: Use B to throw your opponent back.
- PlayStation: Use Circle to throw your opponent back.
You can also pick up nearby boulders and throw them at your opponent. This helps keep them inside the lava pit and prevents them from escaping easily.
Keep repeating this strategy throughout the match to take advantage of the lava damage.
Important Tips for the Kiryu Method
- Don’t break the wall: The wall between you and the lava pit should remain intact. If you break it yourself, the farming strategy may not work as intended.
- Keep your distance: Your opponent can sometimes attack you through the breakable wall, so make sure you’re ready to block.
- Use grabs frequently: If the AI gets close to escaping, grab it and throw it back into the lava.
- Use nearby boulders: Throwing boulders at your opponent can help keep them inside the lava pit.
- Watch out for Gigan and Megalon: You’ll eventually have to fight these monsters during Survival Mode, so be prepared for those battles.
Method 2 – Farm Research Points Using Megalon
If you prefer defeating opponents quickly instead of using the lava pit, Megalon offers another useful farming strategy.
This method revolves around his Burrow and Drill Slam attacks. The AI has difficulty avoiding Burrow, allowing you to grab opponents and deal significant damage with Drill Slam.
Step 1 – Choose Megalon and Level Him Up
First, select Megalon as your monster.
It’s recommended to get him to Level 5 before starting because the additional health makes Survival Mode easier and gives you more room for mistakes.
Megalon is particularly useful for this method because his Burrow ability can catch opponents off guard.
Step 2 – Start Survival Mode
Once Megalon is ready, enter Survival Mode.
You can choose any map because the strategy doesn’t depend on a specific location. However, Monster Island and London are recommended options.
Your setup should look like this:
- Character: Megalon
- Game Mode: Survival
- Map: Monster Island or London
Step 3 – Keep Using Burrow
As soon as the round begins, repeatedly use Megalon’s Burrow ability.
This is the main trick behind the farming method. The AI often struggles to dodge Burrow and tends to stand still or block instead.
Try to hit your opponent with Burrow whenever possible.
Important: Avoid missing your Burrow attack. If you miss, Megalon can become stunned when exiting the ground, giving your opponent an opportunity to attack you.
Step 4 – Use Drill Slam to Deal Massive Damage
Once you’re underneath your opponent, exit Burrow to grab them.
After grabbing the opponent, use Megalon’s Drill Slam attack. This move pins the enemy down while Megalon rapidly drills into them before jumping away.
Drill Slam deals a significant amount of damage, allowing you to finish battles much faster.
However, don’t stay too close after the attack. Your opponent can still knock you down, so create some distance before using Burrow again.
Step 5 – Repeat Burrow and Drill Slam
Now, simply repeat the same strategy throughout the match:
- Use Burrow to approach your opponent.
- Exit Burrow underneath them to grab them.
- Perform Drill Slam to deal heavy damage.
- Move away to avoid counterattacks.
- Use Burrow again and repeat the process.
Continue doing this until you defeat your opponent and earn your Research Points.
Once you’ve collected enough points, you can leave the match and spend them on the research projects you want to unlock.
How Long Does the Megalon Farming Method Take?
According to the method’s testing, an average Survival Mode match takes around 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes when you consistently land Burrow and Drill Slam.
Some matches might take longer, especially if you miss your attacks or encounter mechanical opponents.
This makes Megalon a great option if you want to complete battles quickly and farm Research Points without losing too much health.
Kiryu vs. Megalon – Which Farming Method Is Better?
Both monsters offer different ways to farm Research Points. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide which strategy to use.
| Feature | Kiryu | Megalon |
|---|---|---|
| Main Ability | Grab and lava pit | Burrow and Drill Slam |
| Recommended Mode | Survival | Survival |
| Recommended Map | Monster Island | Monster Island or London |
| Main Strategy | Keep enemies in lava | Deal heavy damage quickly |
| Special Requirement | Unlock Kiryu | Level Megalon to 5 |
| Difficulty | Requires careful positioning | Requires accurate Burrow attacks |
My recommendation: Try Megalon if you want quick battles and straightforward farming. Kiryu is another good option if you can consistently throw enemies into the lava pit without breaking the wall.
That’s how you can farm Research Points faster in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered using Kiryu and Megalon.
Both methods offer different approaches to grinding. Kiryu takes advantage of the lava pit on Monster Island, while Megalon uses Burrow and Drill Slam to defeat opponents in around two minutes per match.
I recommend trying both strategies to see which one works best for your playstyle. Once you have enough Research Points, you can start unlocking additional monsters, maps, and research projects.
Good luck with your grinding, and enjoy collecting all the Kaiju!
