Figured I would make another guide for those who are interested for the monster arena. I will tell you where you can find the monsters needed to be captured and also the Special monsters in the Area conquest. I will do Species conquest at a later date since this by itself will be aload to type. :D So I hope this helps and if I have made any mistakes please let me know.

The monster arena is located in the east of the Calm lands, to the north of the two treasure chest containing 5,000 and 10,000 Gil. If you do decide to take up the operator's offer and go on a monster hunter then it is best to equip weapons with the "capture" ability. Which you can obtain from the operator aswell, if you do not use the weapons to deal the final blow then it will not count.

If you catch atleast one of each of the nine different creatures in the Calm lands (excluding Machinas) the arena will be re-opened and you shall get a nice little reward of 60 Farplane Winds and a chest containing Yuna's Celestial weapon. (Will need the mirror to open the chest though)

At the start of you breeding the special monsters for the Area conquest he will allow you to fight them for free but later on he will charge you 6,000 Gil a fight. Remember weapons with capture ability will only work anything else wont count

Besaid only has three monsters you have to capture so lucky not that much compared to later on these three you can find anywhere around the map will just have to keep moving between areas for them to appear:

Dingo
Condor
Water Flan

Capturing all three will lead to the breeding result of a Special Monster Stratovais. Also you will get a reward of x99 Stamina Tonic. You will only need to capture each monster once in order to breed Stratovais.

Kilika has four monsters you have to capture this time. These four you can find anywhere around the map again will just have to keep moving between areas for them to appear:

Dinonix
Killer Bee
Yellow Element
Ragora

Capturing all four of these will lead to the breeding result of the Special Monster Malboro Menace. Also you will get a reward of x99 Poison Fang. You will only need to capture each monster once in order to breed Malboro Menace.

For this area you will need to concentrate on the South and North of the Agency on the Newroad and the Oldroad. Any captured Thunder flans you capture in this section will be counted under "Mushroom rock road" so can get that one done aswell if you want. Eight monsters this time they are:

Mi'ihen Fang
Ipiria
Floating Eye
White Element
Raldo
Vouivre
Bomb
Dual horn

Capturing all these will lead to the breeding result of the Special Monster Kottos. Remember to use a weapon with the "capture" ability else it wont count. Also you will get a reward of x99 Soul Spring. You will only need to capture each monster once in order to breed Kottos.

In this area "Garudas" tend to congregate in the precipice area right near the safe sphere. Also the dark magus sisters will also lurk near the south west of the turn off leading to the valley (if you havent gotten to end game then i dont think you will need to worry bout any dark aeons but then again might be wrong). The Seven monsters needed for this section are:

Raptor
Gandarewa
Thunder Flan (unless you got it from the last area)
Red Element
Lamashtu
Funguar
Garuada

Once you have captured atleast one of each of these monsters you will get another new special monster for the area conquest. This time it is Coeurlregina (feel like that is spelt horribly wrong) also you will get x99 Candle of life

In this area you will only encounter Orchus in the Moonflow area. Also numerous monsters from the Mushroom rock road will be lurking in the south of the Highroad. Simurghs can also be fairly elusive but you will have a good chance of finding them near the spot where you have found "Al Bhed Primer XI" If you havent found that yet there is another guide with their locations. The monsters this time are:

Garm
Simurgh
Bite Bug
Snow Flan
Bunyip
Basilisk
Ochu

Once you have captured one of each of these youll get the special monster Jormungand waiting for you to try and kill it. Also this time you will get x99 Petrify Greande

You will only find Iron giants in the north where dark Ixion will be waiting for you (again if you are not at end game then this most likely will not matter). Also you chances of capturing Qactuars will be increased if you have examined the Qactuar stones! The monsters needed this time:
