Overview

Expert Badges are in-game achievements obtained by clearing dungeons with self-imposed restrictions.
Unlike Shiren 5, challenges in this game are shared across all dungeons.

The 16 challenges are unlocked after clearing the main story.
※ Emerald Terrace doesn't count for challenges, since it continues into Platinum Paradise.

The game won't notify you if you fail an Expert Badge condition during an adventure,
so you'll have to keep track of your own actions.

Each section on this page assumes you're attempting one challenge at a time.

Information

Platinum Paradise is the easiest dungeon to obtain badges in outside of the 2 dungeon-specific challenges:

• Clear without synthesizing! (Bayside Monster Cave)
• Clear without using abilities! (Entrancing Lane)

Cautions

• Clearing means advancing past the deepest floor of a dungeon.
• Clearing Emerald Terrace (36F) doesn't count.
  • This is because the dungeon continues to Platinum Paradise.
• Obtaining badges by clearing Platinum Paradise requires starting from 1F.
  • Sort your items and then enter a dungeon → read an Escape Scroll before the attempt.
  • Don't use shops or warehouses during the attempt to avoid accidental usage.
• Clearing Grass and Scroll Cave nets lots of badges due to its limited item categories.
  • Categories (floor): Grass, scroll, torch
  • Categories (monster drop): Food, arrow, rock.
  • Revival Grass is incredibly rare.

No Weapons

Primary means of dealing damage are arrows and rocks.
Bored Kappas can force you to equip a weapon if they throw one at you, so keep your inventory full.
Cave of Endless Night is easiest, since you don't use direct attacks at night anyway.
Torches don't count as weapons, so they can be equipped.

No Shields / Bracelets

Trading hits with 0 defense is incredibly dangerous, and it's hard to recover from accidents like traps,
getting hit at night, higher level Fearabbits, Mutaikons, Archdragons, etc.
Floors that limit your field of view in hallways raise the difficulty even further.
Cave of Endless Night is easiest, since you want to avoid getting hit at night anyway.

No Rocks / Arrows

Not difficult as long as you don't attempt it in Trap Zone or Double Strike Cave.
Cave of Endless Night and Platinum Paradise are easiest.

No Food

Fixer Scroll and Revival Grass are your primary methods to replenish fullness.
Diet Shield (1/2 Hunger) is significantly helps.
Platinum Paradise and Jaguar's Hunting Forest are easiest.

No Grass

The only way to revive is to use Wanderer Rescue, and your Mixer synthesis options are limited.
If attempting in a dungeon that allows carry-in items, bring Undo Grass and escape if you collapse.
Static Forest is difficult with low max HP, so it's recommended to challenge it elsewhere.
If you don't use Wanderer Rescue or NPCs, you'll also obtain "Clear without collapsing!".

No Scrolls

Makes it harder to deal with Monster Houses, cursed equipment, and sealed items.
If a defeated enemy drops a scroll that sticks to the ground, you'll fail the challenge.
Not very difficult outside of Entrancing Lane.

No Staves

Lack of movement options makes escaping from situations and stealing from shops difficult,
and it's also harder to safely cycle time of day.

No Talismans

Likely the easiest challenge in terms of item category restrictions.

No Pots

Pots can't be used to increase your inventory size, and you can't synthesize items without Mixers.
Pots thrown by Bored Kappa monsters might make you fail the challenge, depending on the pot.

No Collapsing

Easiest in dungeons that allow carry-in items.
Jaguar's Hunting Forest becomes somewhat thrilling.

No Synthesizing

Runes are essential to raising your damage output, adding defensive abilities, and grouping staves.
Use Monster Detector + Wall Clip Bracelet as a set to overcome this difficult challenge.

Level 99

Level up an Elizgagon to Elizgagon99, and then use a Trapper Bracelet to add an exp multiplier of x20.
If challenging it in a dungeon that doesn't allow carry-in items, it's easiest in Trap Zone or Entrancing Lane.

999,999 Gitan

Withdraw 999,999 Gitan from your bank account and clear a dungeon that allows carry-in items.
If challenging it in a dungeon that doesn't allow carry-in items, you'll need to steal from shops
and make it a point to hunt Froggos, Gitan Mamels, and Ultra Gazers.

3 Allies

Level up your allies to Lv10 beforehand, and prepare an assortment of powerful items.
Recruit allies at the Tavern in Boronga Village, or while progressing through Emerald Terrace.
Use Monster Detector + Transient Staff to locate the stairs and rush through the dungeon.
Bring lots of Blank Scrolls and don't hesitate to use Eradicate Scroll, etc. if an ally is in danger.
Throw Extinction Scrolls at Pop Tank monsters, Archdragons, Abyssal Dragons.
Easiest in Platinum Paradise or Cave of Endless Night.

No Abilities

The start of the run is tricky, but otherwise it mostly plays out the same.
Corner a Rare Snacky (8 HP) in a room at night and punch it in hopes of obtaining a blessed Blank Scroll.
Blessed Gitan deals 10 damage to night monsters, so it can one-shot a Rare Snacky.
After that, use the blessed Suction Scroll loop technique to progress through the dungeon,
and read Navigation Scrolls to rush stairs from about mid ~ late game.

No Direct Attacks

Easy in Cave of Endless Night, but a nightmare in daytime-only dungeons other than Double Strike Cave.
