3D Remake and PR bestiary rules
I've played FF4 3D recently and here you have to actually DEFEAT an enemy to get it in your bestiary. It seems you only need to see an enemy in Pixel Remaster.
Calcobrena
I've only killed the red dolls and the boss but i got all three entries:
  • 169 - Calco
  • 170 - Brina
  • 171 - Calcobrena
Tower of Babil
The Tower of Babil map is now separated for two visits. You see the correct amount of chests (16) when you visit it first time:

And then it changes to 8 when you visit it second time:

So you can be sure you get every chest here.

First Visit

There is a lot of missable entries on every visit (you can find other guides) but the boss of the first visit was really annoying in 3D remake. Since you need to kill an enemy to get it entry you have to complete this bossfight twice (there was an NG+ option for this) with different strategies.

In PR version you just need to defeat the Baranbas and then just wait while Doctor becomes Baranbas-Z. Defeat Baranbas-Z and you'll get all the entries for this bossfight:
  • 173 - Doctor
  • 174 - Baranbas
  • 175 - Dr. Lugae
  • 176 - Baranbas-Z

Second Visit

For both Mythril Golem and Lamia Matriarch the wiki says:

It can be found on the upper floors of the Tower of Babil after the battle against Rubicante.

Which is inconvenient since you find them after you fall down into the trapdoor in Crystal Room.

I've also found the message on gamespot which says that you may meet both of them in Rubicante's bossfight room but i never got them.

Though you must be extremely unlucky to not meet them here is the exact spot where i found both:

Thank you so much, i was struggling with those two monsters in Babil (glad i kept a save just in the second visit).

And after some hours looking for those, your were right, juste after the fall in the cristal room, only 3 fights to complete my bestiary.

Thank's !

Advice on the Green Dragon, too. I was grinding for it for hours in the Tower, and then learned that (seemingly exclusive to the PR) it spawns consistently at an area after the second visit to the tower.

Keep playing a short while until you unlock the ability to fly over the lava, and head to the north-western area. Then walk around by the edge of the lava on the south-west side of that area. First encounter that popped there was a mystery egg that hatched the Green Dragon, for me.

AFAIK Bomb summon is from "Dark Grenade" & "Balloon" both of which are encountered on the surface of the moon.

Also worth being aware that Bestiary in PR is tied to an install / account and *not* to a savefile.

I got Gorgon, Medusa, and Mythril Golem while fighting on the 3 tile patch of land south of the sylph cave all in one fight when trying to complete the bestiary. i was doing it for gorgon which took over an hour to spawn. if you miss the golem anyway and don't mind farming for a while at least you can still get that one.

This is an amazing idea. Thank you! I have been trying to figure out what changes there may have been and glad others beat me to it.

None of the "secret" summons are missable in FFIV. You can get them even after beating the game.

I don't know about it tbh. I thought you can get it randomly from any bomb in the game

How about the bomb summon. Do you have to get it here or can you get it later?
