Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World PlayStation 3 Cheats and Tips

It depends where exactly you are in the game: if you've at least gotten to Asgard, then you could find out the basics about monster evolution. The key to evolutions are the food, level, and (possibly) statues. In practically every area after Asgard, you would see a person(?) dressed up as a cat, calling themselves a Katz. Then, when you talk to them, a menu would open up, and there would be three options: Party, Cooking, and Quests. As you go around to more places, you might be able to find someone called a Wonder Chef in multiple areas, who gives you a new recipe each time you find him. The recipe and person cooking will change the stats accordingly. But the main point is that when your monsters are at a high enough level, then a symbol will appear near their avatar when you open up the main menu screen, indicating that they can change class, or 'evolve'. All you need to do is feed them while they are like that (in other words, go to a Katz and cook something for them) , and you get the option to change their class. I hope this helped.
P.S. evolved monsters will regain all skills learned previously and 20% of their stats. Some will even regain their artes. However, they will regress back to level 1.

First of all, change your Sorcerer's Ring to water element. Then, read the sign near the statue of the Knight on your left when entering the room. It should list the monsters he conquered, and you are to put out the torch in front of the monster he defeated (the statue behind the torch) resembling the monster described in the list in order.
