Red Rift Farming Guide (2026)
Red Rifts are the gateway to Catch a Monster's strongest monsters. This guide covers everything from getting portals to finding carries and optimizing your runs.
Getting Red Rift Portals
Primary source: Spire Tower Shop — up to 10 cheap portals per week.
Secondary source: Wild Rifts spawn on weekends in the open world. These are contested and less reliable.
Understanding HP Scaling
| Players | Approximate Boss HP |
|---|---|
| --------- | ------------------- |
| 1 (solo) | ~9 billion |
| 3 | ~11 billion |
| 6–12 | ~13 billion |
More players means more HP. Weak players who join without contributing damage actively hurt the group.
How to Get Carried
- Post in Discord #chat: "LF carry [X] Red Rifts"
- Provide your own portals when possible
- Have Pet Snack + Ripple Ball ready
- Deal at least some damage to qualify for loot
Carry Etiquette
Seeking a carry: Bring portals, stay active, thank your carry.
Offering a carry: Use Private Servers, set DPS expectations, prefer 2–3 player groups.
The 100% Catch Trick
Use Pet Snack (+200% catch rate, 5 min) + Ripple Ball right before the boss dies. This guarantees catches on Undine and Mechavolt.
