There are 12 monster characters in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, but you start only with four, while the remaining eight can be unlocked via the G-Force Lab. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to unlock all characters in the game, including all their requirements.
All Character Unlock Requirements
As already mentioned, you start the game with the following four default characters:
- Godzilla
- Anguirus
- Megalon
- Gigan
Note that in multiplayer Tournament mode, all 12 monsters are unlocked by default, but it restricts your matches to local play only. In solo play, the rest of the characters require specific G-Force Lab progress for a total of 384,000 RP (note that all RP values in the table below are initial numbers):
| Characters | Points | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Godzilla 2000 | 6,000+ | Complete the Millennium Study project. |
| King Ghidorah | 9,000+ | Complete the “The Three-Headed Dragon” Rumor and complete Adventure Mode twice. |
| Rodan | 18,000+ | Complete the “New York” Rumor, unlock 8 battlefields, and defeat 4 opponents in Survival. |
| Destoroyah | 20,000+ | Complete the “New York” Rumor and unlock 8 battlefields. |
| Kiryu | 20,000+ | Complete the Cybernetic Study project. |
| Mecha-King Ghidorah | 20,000+ | Complete “The Three-Headed Dragon” Rumor and Cybernetic Study project. |
| Mechagodzilla (Showa) | 25,000+ | Complete the “New York” Rumor, Alien Investigations project, level up the 4 starters to Level 5, and unlock additional battlefields. |
| Orga | 35,000+ | Complete the Doppelgänger Research, Alien Investigations project, level up the 4 starters to Level 7+, and win 8 1v1 matches as either Gigan or Megalon. |
Best Ways to Earn Research Points
The main difference between the original game and the remaster is that now you need to use a Research Points currency system in the G-Force Lab rather than simply follow the campaign progression to unlock new monsters. Once you access the G-Force Lab from the main menu, you’ll see these three categories:
| Categories | Features |
|---|---|
| Rumors | Objectives and tasks that unlock the related monster’s Research Project. |
| Projects | Once you complete a Rumor, the Project appears, and only one can be active at a time, where all points earned go exclusively to that current selected Project. |
| Research Points | Earn RP by playing matches in any mode, filling the active Project’s bar. |
Note that the two best modes to earn RP are Survival Mode (from Level 5) and Adventure Mode:
| Modes | Strategies |
|---|---|
| Survival Mode | The most efficient mode for earning points and double the normal amount, but it doesn’t grant character EXP. Play on Easy for faster grinding, where some of the best farming spots include Monster Island by throwing enemies into lava pits with the help of Kiryu. |
| Adventure Mode | Grants both Research Points and character EXP, which is useful for unlocking full movesets that require leveling a monster to 5. This mode is also good for G-Coins bonuses. |
Here’s how to use both of these modes to maximize your RP earnings:
- Start by playing with the default four monsters to earn early points.
- Level them up and open the G-Force Lab to check for available Rumors.
- Complete easy ones first, then prioritize unlocking a preferred main, so you can grind more with it.
- Work on the map unlocks if Rumors require them.
- Use Survival (Easy) mode for heavy point grinding.
