Hidden route that unlocks when you finish the Kawasaku Side Quest.
The floor numbers are displayed as 1-6F, but the dungeon corresponds to 27-28F of Serpentcoil Island.
Blue stairs which let you return to regular Serpentcoil Island floors early can be found starting on 2F.
Once unlocked, this dungeon can be entered anytime.

General Advice

This dungeon exists as fan service for Shiren 2 players, being a reference to Golden Intervals.
However, since it's just a hidden route available anytime, don't expect to find rare or exclusive items.
You can occasionally find sacred items and slightly uncommon equipment for main story standards,
but it's not really a place worth visiting multiple times for items.

To make hunting for items even less appealing, this place features many enemies who mess with items.
Pesky Kappas throw items found on the ground, Pot Knaves and Bag Knaves turn items into Weeds,
Greenwalruses steal items, Swordsmen disarm and knock away your equipped shield, and so on.
If you're intent on hunting items here, it's best to bring an Eradication Scroll for Field Knave types.

On the other hand, Mixers are somewhat common on all floors, so it can be a nice place to visit
when you want to synthesize items and haven't unlocked any of the better post-game setups yet.
Gimmicks like cannons can also be generated, making it an okay place to hunt certain achievements.

1 4 Gitan Mamel Warning

Beware of Gitan Mamels that spawn on all floors here, which are basically powered up Cave Mamels.
They have 20 HP, 100 attack, and 999 defense, and only take 1 damage from normal attacks.
In addition, they have Swift 2 action speed, meaning they can attack 2 times per turn.
So yeah, don't forget to bring Porky's Rocks and Revival Grass, at the very least.

Important Items

bracelet Bracelets

Monster-find Bracelet (or Clairvoyant Bracelet)
Reveals the locations of monsters on the map, and lets you see incoming enemies in dark hallways.
The main purpose of this bracelet is to avoid surprise attacks by Swordsman or Gitan Mamel.

Item-find Bracelet (or Clairvoyant Bracelet)
Reveals the locations of items on the map, giving you an idea of the floor's layout.
Increases your chances of claiming items before Kappa Pests or Bag Knaves destroy them.

scroll Scrolls

Eradication Scroll (or Blank Scroll)
If you intend on claiming all items, you'll want to throw this scroll at a Pot Knave or Bag Knave.
However, if you just want to clear the dungeon, Swordsman or Gitan Mamel make for better targets.
That said, you might not have this scroll unlocked yet when you first gain access to this dungeon,
so don't worry too much if you don't have one of these scrolls on hand.

Collection Scroll
Lets you claim items before Pesky Kappas or Bag Knaves get a chance to destroy them.
Also attracts any items that might be buried in wall tiles.

rock staff grass Miscellaneous

Porky's Rock, Thunderbolt Staff, Revival Grass
Items that either one-shot Gitan Mamel, or generally increase your chances of survival.
Don't forget that rescues are not allowed in hidden routes.

Floor Guide

1-6F

Shops and Monster Houses can be generated, but they seem to be somewhat uncommon.
Hallways are dark between 2-6F, and Wind blows increasingly faster the deeper you descend.
N'dulu disguises itself as an item on the ground and waits to attack until you try to use the item.
The disguise will be revealed when you advance to the next floor with the item in your inventory,
or when you attempt to insert the item into a pot.

Swordsman disarms and knocks away your equipped shield, sending it 10 tiles behind you.
Pot Knave throws Weeds into open pots or incenses, and Bag Knave knocks inventory items away.
Affixing Bracelet protects against the above 3 monsters, but it can't be found in the main story dungeon.
Pesky Kappa waits on top of an item, then throws it at you when you get within its 5 tile throwing range.
It won't throw weapons or Gitan, but you can be forced to equip a shield or bracelet thrown by a kappa.

Metal Ninja B and Water Ninja B have higher stats, so use items against them as needed.
The 1 Rustproof rune prevents Water Ninja B's special attack from lowering equipment upgrade value.
Of course, if you encounter a Gitan Mamel, don't use normal attacks - use fixed damage items against it.
Speed stages: Slow → Normal → Swift 1 → Swift 2; Gitan Mamel is Swift 2, so Sluggish Staff isn't great.
If Greenwalrus's theft gets annoying, shoot an arrow at a wall to avoid having inventory items stolen,
but note that this technique only works when the Greenwalrus isn't adjacent to you.
