Dungeon where it's always night - daytime never arrives as a result of turns elapsing.
The first clear is 29F and includes a boss fight, after which the full 99F version is unlocked.
Carry-in items are allowed, so it's easy if you bring items like Lamp Shield and Monster Detector.

Bulldog Bracelet can be found at the end only when it's not in your inventory, storehouse, or warehouse.
If you lose it after the first clear, you'll need to reach 99F to obtain it again.

Strategy

• General
• Abilities
• Night Monster AI

General

Ability uses are limited, so there isn't much reason to linger on any given floor.
Search for stairs using the torch + Lamp Shield resonance effect, which lights up the entire room.
If you didn't bring a Lamp Shield, use zigzag movement to search for stairs a bit more efficiently.

Torches, Lamp Shield, and Monster Detector are top priority, and all of them can be found on the ground.
Carry 3~4 torches, Replenish Scrolls, healing items, and some items for escaping bad situations.

Abilities

The standard is to include 2~3 room type abilities, then fill remaining slots with attack abilities.
See Abilities for details.

• Room Cyclone
  • Great ability that wipes out all monsters in a room.
  • However, you generally need to use it 2 times in a row to defeat monsters.
• Darkroom
  • Weak, but inflicting Blind status on all monsters in the room is handy.
  • Can be used with Room Cyclone to finish off weak monsters, but beware of Absorbiphant types.
• Kaboom Bullet
  • One-shots most enemies, excluding certain end game or blue aura monsters.
• Sticky Shot or Bi-Direction Warp
  • Decent power and effective against enemies that can't be defeated using Kaboom Bullet.
• 8-Way Boom Bullet or 8-Way Slumber Shot
  • Particularly nice if you step on a Summon Trap.
  • Beware of Absorbiphant types if you use 8-Way Slumber Shot.
• Three Screams
  • One-shots enemies in 3 forward directions, but you don't gain exp or items.
  • It also works on Shopkeepers.
• Cluster Confusion
  • Counters higher level Fearabbits, but otherwise isn't essential.
  • Don't use it on floors where Absorbiphant and Explochin types appear.
• Last Stand
  • Roughly 80% chance to wipe out all monsters on a floor, but you collapse if it fails.
  • Might be nice for higher level Fearabbit and Dragon floors if you bring lots of Revival Grass.
• (Other abilities)
  • Piercing Arrow and Cross Boom Bullet are usable.
  • All other abilities are generally lacking in some way, so they're not worth including.

Night Monster AI

There are 2 types of AI for night monsters in this game.

1. Moves randomly similar to a Pumphantasm, and attacks any adjacent creature.
2. Moves normally, and only attacks the player.

These 2 types are assigned by monster family:

Floor Guide

1-2F

Dark Kumonigiri (1-3F), Dark Squid King (1-2F), Evil Firepuff (1-3F), etc.

Leveled up night monsters are the leading cause of collapses at night, so watch the message window.
Level up until you have at least 31 max HP before descending the stairs on 2F.

3-7F

Dark Pop Tank (3-7F), Dark Absorbiphant (4-6F), Dark Eligan (5-9F), Vile Slime (6-8F), etc.

Dark Pop Tank's cannonball blasts deal 30 damage, so maintain at least 31 HP at all times.
Dark Absorbiphant appears, so don't use Cluster Confusion if your shield is weak.
Dark Eligan can be defeated in 1 hit using Room Cyclone once you've leveled up a bit.
Vile Slime can extinguish equipped torches, so don't let it act when adjacent.

8-13F

Dark Traproid (9-13F), Evil Explochin (10-12F), Evil Hipadile (10-14F), Dark Strong Cart (11-13F), etc.

Lots of monsters that have regular movement and track Shiren, so you'll burn through ability uses quickly.
Monsters with auras start to become more common from around this point as well.
Don't use Cluster Confusion on Evil Explochin floors.

Players who don't bring items usually start to struggle now without a Lamp Shield or Monster Detector.

14-19F

Evil Dragon (14-19F), Dark Dazikon (17-19F), Dark Digestiphant (18-20F), Bad Sr. Yanpii (15-18F), etc.

Evil Dragon's fire deals 40 damage, so try to maintain at least 41 HP at all times (21 HP with 1/2 Fire rune).
Bad Sr. Yanpii's headbutt deals 25 damage which isn't too bad, but it can catch you off guard at times.
Don't use Cluster Confusion on Dark Digestiphant floors.

20-29F

Dark Fearabbit (20-22F), Dark Vexing Kappa (22-24F), Dark Grampa Tank (24-29F), Dark MC Mage (28-30F),
Dark Scarabbit (28-30F), etc.

There's potential to be one-shot by a leveled up monster after being attracted by a Dark Fearabbit,
as well as accidents caused by Dark Vexing Kappa or Dark MC Mage, so rush stairs unless you're low on items.
Dark Grampa Tank's cannonballs deal 40 damage, so maintain at least 41 HP at all times.

Organize your items before descending the stairs on 29F so that you have access to Replenish Scroll,
Swift Grass, Seal Staff, and other useful items for the boss fight.

Boss

Fight with Mr. Bulldog.

Mr. Bulldog's monster call summons Dark Eligagon, Bad Lime Zalokleft, or Dark Glare Bird.
Status conditions are effective, but they're cured right away unless you use Swift Grass or Slow Staff.
He has 600 HP, so depending on your ability set, you might not be able to defeat him with 8 uses.
Replenish Scroll or Revival Grass (Undo Grass) can be used to refresh abilities, but if you don't have those,
you'll have to hope for Replenish Scroll from a Bad Lime Zalokleft drop, or have Dark Eligagon defeat the boss.

30-35F

Dark Scarabbit (28-30F), Dark MC Mage (28-30F), Evil Sky Dragon (31-35F), Dark Squid Emperor (31-33F),
Evil Oingodile (32-36F), etc.

Evil Sky Dragon's flame deals 50 damage from anywhere in the room.
Dragon Grass and Lizard Shield can't be found, so you can't reduce fire damage if you didn't bring items.
If you feel like Evil Archdragon and Evil Abyss Dragon are a bigger threat than higher level Fearabbits,
go ahead and throw an Extinction Scroll at Evil Dragon (14-19F) or Evil Sky Dragon in this floor range.

36-42F

Evil Concusschin (36-39F), Dark Spongiderm (37-39F), Dark Item Knave (39-41F), Bad Iron Zalokleft (40-42F),
Evil Hyper Gazer (40-42F), Dark Pierce Cart (42-44F), etc.

Don't use Cluster Confusion on Evil Concusschin or Dark Spongiderm floors.
It may be tempting to hunt Bad Iron Zaloklefts for items, but it's probably not worth the trouble.

43-52F

Dark Pierce Cart (42-44F), Dark Steamroid (43-47F), Dark Gigahead (43-47F), Vile Pumpanshee (48-50F),
Plump Mealy (50-52F), Bad Lt. Yanpii (51-53F), Vile Ooze (51-55F), etc.

Lots of monsters that have random movement and attack any adjacent creature.
There's nothing too threatening on these floors, so Plump Mealy can be hunted for items if desired.

53-61F

Dark Ornery Tank (53-58F), Dark Twinkle Bird (53-55F), Dark Kappa Troll (54-56F), Dark Dozikon (56-58F),
Evil Shihan (57-61F), Dark MC Wizard (58-60F), Dark Horrabbit (59-61F), etc.

Floor range with extremely dangerous monster combinations - rush stairs.
In particular, Dark MC Wizard, Shihan, and Horrabbit overlap so there's a chance you'll lose your equipment.
1 Room Cyclone usually isn't enough to defeat monsters, so disable them first if you get surrounded.

Steady Shield is elite shop exclusive, so you likely won't have one on hand unless you brought one.
If you don't have the Unmoving rune or a Steady Shield, use Cluster Confusion at the start of the floor.

62-63F

Dark Electroid (59-63F), Evil Fulminachin (62-64F), Wild Gyandora (62-64F), etc.

Nothing too threatening besides Evil Fulminachin, so consider this floor range a rest area.

64-69F

Evil Fulminachin (62-64F), Evil Archdragon (64-69F), Dark Knave King (64-66F), Dark Osmammoth (65-67F), etc.

Evil Archdragon's flame deals 60 damage from anywhere on the floor - Use healing items and rush stairs.
Cluster Confusion is effective against it, but Evil Fulminachin and Dark Osmammoth make it hard to use.

70-73F

Dark Elizgagon (70-74F), Vile Blight Scorp (71-73F), Dark Shine Bird (71-73F), etc.

Dark Shine Birds combined with tanky enemies like Dark Elizgagon and Vile Blight Scorp.
Be careful not to run out of ability uses before reaching the stairs.

74-83F

Dark MC Sorcerer (74-76F), Evil Porgon (75-80F), Dark Squid Kaiser (78-80F), Dark Mesmerikon (80-83F),
Dark Gitan Mamel (80-85F), Vile Pumptergeist (81-83F), etc.

Dark MC Sorcerer and Dark Mesmerikon have special attacks that can easily make you collapse.
Use Cluster Confusion and rush stairs if you don't have Lamp Shield or Monster Detector.
Darkroom is effective at disabling monsters inside rooms.

84-87F

Dark Gitan Mamel (80-85F), Snide Kleptoad (84-89F), Dark Mixerdon (85-87F), Evil Detonachin (86-89F), etc.

Snide Kleptoad can one-shot you with blessed Gitan dropped by other Snide Kleptoads or Dark Gitan Mamels.
Dark Mixerdon appears, providing the first and only chance to synthesize items in this dungeon.
However, it's a bit late for synthesis at this point, so it's fine to ignore it and continue ahead.

88-93F

Evil Detonachin (86-89F), Dark Cranky Tank (88-93F), Dark Terrabbit (90-92F), Evil Boingodile (90-92F), etc.

Dark Cranky Tank fires 2 cannonballs that deal 60 damage each per turn.
To make things worse, Dark Terrabbit's special attack can cause you to get surrounded by Dark Cranky Tanks.
So to avoid that, use Cluster Confusion at the start of the floor on Terrabbit floors.

94-99F

Evil Abyss Dragon (94-99F), Evil Doom Gyaza (95-99F), Dark Crashdon (93-99F), Dark Cyberoid (93-99F)

The final rush where you have to overcome Evil Abyss Dragon's 70 damage flame breath.
Other enemies are tanky enough to survive Kaboom Bullet at times, so it's easy to run out of ability uses.
Remember to use Replenish Scrolls before your situation deteriorates if you have them on hand.
