Details

How Pots Work

• Pots apply an effect to inserted items.
  • There are also pots that apply an effect when opened.
• The capacity is generally random when you find a pot.
  • Max capacity is 5.
• Pots shatter when thrown at a character or wall, and contents fall to the ground.
  • If an item that was inside the pot lands on a trap, the trap will activate.

Locations Key

Preservation Pot

Pot that lets you insert and take out items freely.
Onigiri inside the pot won't be grilled or spoiled, and peaches won't ripen.
Once identified, you can change the name of the pot at will, which is helpful
when storing items in Nekomaneki Village or inside storage buildings.
Insert Gitan to use as projectiles, protect staves from Gyadon's pecking, etc.

Locations:

Ordinary Pot

No special effects.
Contents can only be taken out by breaking the pot or using an Extraction Scroll.
Recommended to insert important items that you don't need to use right away,
such as Mixer synthesis ingredients or high value items to sell in shops.
Another option is to intentionally fill the pot with Dirt from a Scoopie.

Locations:

Identify Pot

Identifies inserted items, revealing their names, use counts (staves), and state
Shiren 5 added many new items with negative effects, so it's quite valuable.

Locations:

Hide Pot

Grants Hiding status for 20 turns, making enemies unable to detect you.
Inflicts Hiding status when thrown, trapping the creature until they're attacked.
Instant game over if Shiren enters the pot while standing on a water or air tile.
Can't be filled with Dirt from Scoopie special attacks.

Shiren can still enter the pot if its capacity is reduced to 0 by a Gyandora,
but a Hide Pot [0] won't inflict Hiding status when thrown at a target.
Talking to a hiding ally cancels their Hiding status.

Locations:

4-2-8 Pot

Causes a big explosion to occur when it shatters. (1 tile radius)
Sealing the pot will prevent it from exploding, allowing you to safely retrieve contents.
Shiren's current HP will be reduced to 1, and all enemies caught in the blast vanish.
If thrown with piercing properties, each target it hits will explode.
All other 4-2-8 Pots will be identified when one explodes.
One of the few items that can one-shot Gyazas.

The name is a reference to 428: Shibuya Scramble.

Locations:

• Starting item in Explosion Rocks

Sale Pot

Transforms inserted items into Gitan equal to their selling price.
The maximum amount per item is 9999G, and it also works on merchandise.
Gitan inside the Sale Pot won't be included when you sell the pot in a dungeon,
but will be included if sold at a shop located in a village.

Lets you recover from a Bankruptcy Scroll, but it's dangerous to carry it on floors
where Gazers appear since they can make you insert equipped items.

Locations:

Presto Pot

Transforms inserted items into other items. (no effect on merchandise)
Recommended to insert a single arrow or rock at a time.
Presto Pots have a unique item table, but you generally can't obtain anything
too special except for Kabura Katana or Fuuma Shield in select dungeons.

Be careful with your selection, since it's easy to insert equipped items by mistake.
Similar to Shiren 4, inserted items can't transform into pots in this game.

Locations:

Sticky Pot

Inflicts Shiren with Potted status when you try to insert an item,
unequipping your weapon and preventing you from using items or abilities.
If you have Immune status, your hand won't get stuck. (weapon is still unequipped)
Potted status is canceled when you change floors or step on a Strip Trap.
Chance to break free when you attack or get hit by enemies.

It's mostly a negative item, but can be used to unequip a cursed weapon.
The pot won't shatter when you change floors, so insert an item → change floors
to use it like an Ordinary Pot. (1 item per floor)
Your hand getting stuck can cause you to lose Super status.
Deals 2 damage when thrown.

Locations:

Unbreakable Pot

Pot that can't break, even when thrown against a wall.
It won't break even if sealed, and the pot and its contents is lost if thrown at an enemy.
The only way to retrieve its contents is to use an Extraction Scroll.
Can be used to store Revival Grass or Undo Grass if you don't plan on blessing them,
but otherwise the only practical use for it is to insert items to be sold later.

Locations:

Floramorph Pot

Transforms inserted items into Flowers.
Flowers only exist inside the pot, and will vanish if you try to take them out.
The only practical use of this pot is to intentionally fill it with Dirt from a Scoopie.

There are 10 types of flowers, and they all have unique entries in the Item Book.
The What you need is...? problem in Statue Cave has a Floramorph Pot
which can be used to quickly fill out the flower entries.

Locations:

• Statue Cave: What you need is...?

Black Hole Pot

Inserted items vanish, and a number of Pit Traps equal to capacity appear if it breaks.
Pit Traps appear even in shops, so breaking this pot is the safest way to steal.
Pit Traps still appear when the pot is sealed, but not when its capacity is 0,
so it's best to seal the pot to prevent Scoopies from filling it with Dirt.

This is the only 1000G range pot that can have an initial capacity of 2.
For obvious reasons, it can never be found in shops.

Locations:

Fever Pot

Fill the pot with same name items to double the number of items. (The pot shatters)
Explodes if different items are inserted, so be wary of Bored Kappas and Scoopies.
Unlike 4-2-8 Pot, other Fever Pots won't be identified when one breaks or explodes.
Always has an initial capacity of 3, and mostly found in shops.

Commonly used to duplicate rare items like Wonder Pick and Angel Seed.
See Tips and Tricks to learn about duplication techniques.

It's important to learn the details about how it works to avoid item loss:

Locations:

• Tanuki Password: All Lucky 7s

Exorcism Pot

Removes curses and seals from inserted items.
Insert unidentified bracelets to make it safe to equip them to check for effects.
Players often discard sealed items, and cursed equipment can't be iserted
while equipped, so it doesn't have a chance to shine that often.

Locations:

Blessing Pot

Inserted items become blessed. Simple, but extremely powerful.
Popular options include multi-use items like scrolls or Revival Grass,
or items that gain added effects when blessed like Extraction Scroll or Peach.
Use an Extraction Scroll when retrieving items so that the pot can be reused.
It's easy to forget, but Gitan can be blessed too.

Locations:

Curse Pot

Inserted items become cursed or sealed.
Can be used to raise Mojo Bracelet's critical hit rate, change seals to curses,
or as a container for arrows, talismans, onigiri you plan on grilling,
items that are already sealed, and synthesis materials.

Locations:

Water Pot

Pot that can be filled with water, which can then be splashed 1 tile ahead.
Generally only found in shops, and can be reused as long as there's a water source.
Water can be splashed through corners, and effects differ based on the target.
Always found identified, even in dungeons where pots are unidentified.

Locations:

Heavenly Pot

Fully restores HP and cures most status ailments. (Doesn't restore lost strength)
Similar to Heal Pot, but can be reused by filling it with hot spring water in Inori Village.
Obtained by clearing Heavenly Lake.

Locations:

• Heavenly Lake (Clear reward)

Zen Pot

Insert an item to create a blue fragrance that nullifies fire and explosion damage.
The effect applies to every creature on the current floor, and things like 4-2-8 Pot,
Flame Shot, Blue Flame, Dragon Grass will be ineffective against monsters.
Onigiri can still be grilled, and the fragrance remains even if you collapse.

Prevents collapsing when hit by fire or explosion damage while you're an onigiri.
Fantastic on floors with monsters like Cranky Tank and Abyss Dragon.
Flamebird family monsters won't multiply while the fragrance is in effect.

Locations:

Dodger Pot

Insert an item to create a green fragrance that makes all projectiles miss.
The effect applies to every creature on the current floor, and things like arrows,
rocks, talismans, thrown grass, Dirt from Scoopies, etc. will all be ineffective.
However, Truestrike arrows will still hit their target, and items thrown while
you have an Anti-Parry Brce. and True Knife equipped will still hit.

Great for collecting arrows from Boy Carts, or Porky Rocks from Porky monsters.
Offers defense against late game monsters like Kappa Troll, Mesmerikon, Kleptoad.
The fragrance remains in effect even if you collapse.

Locations:

Perceptive Pot

Insert an item to create a yellow fragrance that protects items.
Froggos, Gyadons, and Zaloklefts can't steal, Swordsmans and Field Knaves
can't knock items away, and you won't drop items when you step on a Trip Trap.
Monsters can still drop items when they're defeated, and the fragrance
remains in effect even if you collapse.

Locations:

Reflection Pot

Insert an item to create a purple fragrance that reflects magic.
The effect applies to every creature on the current floor, and things like staves,
DJ Mage magic, Gazer hypnosis, and Polygon Spinna dances will be reflected.
However, Fearabbit's hat trick isn't considered magic, so it won't be reflected.
The fragrance remains in effect even if you collapse.

The drawback of not being able to use staves regularly is significant, but it allows
for some techniques like warping Shiren to the stairs using a Transient Staff,
or granting Swift status to yourself using a Swift Staff, etc.

Locations:

Heal Pot

Fully restores HP and strength, and cures some status conditions.
Examples of curable ailments include Confused and Blind status, but not Slow.
It's best to waste one use to check if it's sealed, or to confirm if it's real if you
found it on a floor where higher level N'dubba monsters can appear.

Synthesize a weapon with this and Heal Bracelet to create the Healing rune.

Locations:

Zalokleft Pot

Releases a Zalokleft that fetches an item in front, excluding pots and Catstones.
Its range is 10 tiles in a straight line, and it can travel across water tiles
but stops if it hits a pot, wall, or air tile. Break the pot to retrieve fetched items.
If it shatters when capacity is above 0, Confused Zaloklefts equal to capacity appear.

Using an Extraction Scroll on a Zalokleft Pot full of items won't restore capacity.
All other Zalokleft Pots will be identified if you break an unidentified one.
The Zalokleft won't come out of the pot if it's opened inside a shop,
so you'll have to open it from a hallway to steal items.

Locations:

Monster Pot

A number of hostile monsters equal to capacity jump out when the pot is opened.
The monsters won't act on the turn they jumped out unless they're naturally Swift.
All other Monster Pots will be identified if you break an unidentified one.
The pot vanishes when opened, so keep that in mind when shopping.
If thrown against a wall, the monsters will have Confused status.

Use it to generate Grass Kids to obtain some extra grass items,
increase your defeated enemy count to activate Super status / gain bonuses,
or activate the Cross formation in a hallway intersection to replenish abilities, etc.
If opened in storage buildings, Bashaggas, Doom Gyazas, and Despoilers appear.

Locations:

Hilarious Pot

Inflicts Laughing status on a target in front of you for 6 turns.
The laughter is contagious and travels to other monsters in the room as turns pass.
Shutting down a room in exchange for 1 use is good, but it doesn't last long,
and every enemy in the room stops laughing when one of them stops.
Can be thrown for the same effect if the pot's capacity is above 0.

Useful for waking up Monster Houses before entering them in Onigiri Hollow.
This is the only "Open" type pot that can have an inital capacity of 2.
The pot can work through corners, so there's no need to throw it.
Swift monsters will only laugh for 3 turns, so defeat them first.

Locations:

Klein Pot

Grants Klein status when opened, switching your attack and defense for 20 turns.
Inflicts Klein status for 20 turns when thrown, which can be an effective way
to deal with high power monsters like the Shagga family.

It's on the rare side and also tricky to use, so many players don't bother with it.
Some high power monsters like the Eligan family also have high defense,
so it's best to check their stats before throwing the pot.

Locations:

Shrine Maid. Pot

Fully restores HP, strength, and fullness, cures all negative status conditions,
and grants Swift status for 15 turns and Invincible status for 20 turns.

Extremely powerful, but can only be used in dungeons that allow carry-in items.
Obtained in the upper-left house in Nekomaneki Village after wishing
to be popular with girls in Inori Cave.

Locations:

• Nekomaneki Village after wishing to be popular with girls in Inori Cave.

Synthesis Pot

Synthesizes inserted weapons, shields, or staves. (See Synthesis for mechanics)
Synthesis Pots are always found with an initial capacity of 5 in this game.

The existence of Modder's Pot makes it a bit risky to assume 7500G pots
are Synthesis Pots in select dungeons, so some players prefer to insert
items to be sold later and go with Mixers for synthesis instead.

Locations:

Modder's Pot

Synthesizes inserted weapons, shields, or staves. (See Synthesis for mechanics)
However, the pot is unbreakable even if sealed, and vanishes if thrown at an enemy.
The only way to retrieve contents is to use an Extraction Scroll, so players mostly
insert items they plan on selling, or as storage for Revival Grass.

Synthesis Pots always have an initial capacity of 5, so any pot with an initial capacity
of 3~4 that synthesizes items is this pot. Additionally, it only starts appearing from
18F in Primordial Chasm, and 12F in Destiny's Descent.

Locations:

Upgrade Pot

Increases the upgrade value and use counts of inserted weapons, shields,
and staves by 1 as well as the value of inserted Gitan when you change floors.
Unlike Shiren 4, the pot has a high chance of shattering when items are upgraded.

Synthesize with a weapon or shield to create the Refining rune.
※ Contents will vanish if you synthesize a non-empty Upgrade Pot.

Locations:

Degrade Pot

Decreases the upgrade value and use counts of inserted weapons, shields,
and staves by 1 as well as the value of inserted Gitan when you change floors.
Unlike Shiren 4, the pot has a high chance of shattering when items are degraded.

Can be used like an Ordinary Pot for select item categories.
Otherwise, it's best to sell it or intentionally fill it with Dirt from a Scoopie.

Locations:

Lucky Pot

Chance for an inventory item to become blessed when changing floors while carrying it.
Excludes items inside pots, and no special effects when items are inserted.
The item is selected at random, and has a very low activation rate.

Locations:

Unlucky Pot

Chance for an inventory item to be cursed or sealed when changing floors while carrying it.
Excludes items inside pots, and no special effects when items are inserted.
The item is selected at random, and has a decent activation rate.

It's best to discard it right away, or insert items and then seal to prevent its effect.
You could use it to increase the critical hit rate of Mojo Bracelet, but since you can't
control which items become cursed or sealed, it's usually not worth the risk.

Locations:

Grilling Pot

Grills inserted onigiri items, turning them into Grilled Onigiri.
Onigiri with price tags won't be grilled.
