Forced Spawn Notorious Monsters are a special class of Notorious Monsters. Unlike Lottery, Timed, or Morphed NMs, Force Spawned monsters are fought almost exclusively by players that have some foreknowledge of what they will be up against, as nearly all of these monsters require trading a specific item to a specific spot in order to make them appear.
There are a few notable subcategories of these monsters:
- Fields of Valor Notorious Monsters are spawned by trading Beastmen's Seals, gil, or equipment to a Field Parchment.
- Zeni Notorious Monsters are spawned by trading items purchased with Zeni to specific ??? locations.
- Allied Notes Notorious Monsters are spawned by inspecting a "Shredded Label" while in possession of Key Items bought with Allied Notes.
Monsters that don't fall into the above categories will usually require items that are dropped from common monsters in the area, but others may require having an item crafted or simply bought. The item will typically be consumed upon trading and some monsters, such as Goblin Archaeologist and Yara Ma Yha Who, may even require multiple items to be traded before they are spawned.
As these monsters are usually ones players prepare for before fighting, the vast majority of these monsters are catered to higher-level players. Indeed, many of the toughest monsters in the game are spawned this way (see: Kirin and Jailer of Love/Absolute Virtue).
The following table is an (incomplete) list of forced spawn Notorious Monsters, the conditions for spawning them, and their notable drops.
