Overview

Post-game dungeon where various gimmicks and in-dungeon events have a high chance of occurring.
Cannons, Kron's Challenge, Fever Time, bouncy walls, behemoth gates, water with rafts, it's all here.
Stronger monsters appear as early as 3F, so the player is expected to bring powerful items.
Overall, it's a nice place to visit to duplicate items thanks to the frequency of bouncy wall rooms.

Strategy

General

Cannons lack power against most non-behemoth monsters, and can also destroy items on the ground.
Some enemies prioritize manning a cannon instead of chasing Shiren, making it an effective distraction.

Bouncy Walls are pretty common, and Bouncy Bracelet can be found on the ground in this dungeon,
so if you have that bracelet and a Earthmound Staff, you can duplicate items more easily.
The trick is to make the thrown item bounce off of all 4 sides of the Bouncy Wall Room.

For flowing water and raft tiles, try to go with the flow of water instead of against it if possible.
Otherwise you'll end up having to fight wave after wave of enemies riding the rafts.

Behemoth Gates have a chance of being generated on all floors except for 1F, 10F, and 20F.
It's fine to aim for the item drop at first, but consider skipping it once tougher enemies appear.

Wishing Shrine, Fever Time, and Kron's Challenge can provide great benefits.
Be sure to bring items that let you dig out wall tiles, along with an item like Item-find Bracelet.

Dangerous monsters include Fencer, Terror Scorpion, Mudster, and Curse Matron.
Reach 10 strength and equip Monster-find + Cleansing / Rustproof / Affixing / Cursebreak bracelets,
switching the second bracelet out depending on the opponent (or bring a few Sealing Staves).

Important Items

Hunky-dory Shield (Full Armor Rune) & Revival Grass

The Full Armor shield rune halves damage received when Shiren's HP is full.
It's mostly for added protection against enemy cannons when Shiren is at level 1.
Runes like HP+20 which increase max HP are also great for this purpose.

Strength Grass x 2 / Yamanba's Cleaver + Yamanba's Potlid

Methods to start the dungeon with 10 strength, allowing for 2 bracelets to be equipped.
If you choose to go with Strength Grass, don't forget to bring a Rejuvenation Pot.

Monster-find Bracelet

Nice to have on hand to check for incoming Mudsters and Fencers in hallways.
That said, none of the floors in this dungeon have dark hallways, so it's not mandatory.
Can be found in Serpentcoil Island (main story dungeon).

Cleansing Bracelet / Rustproof Bracelet / Affixing Bracelet / Cursebreak Bracelet

Bracelets that counter specific monsters if you end up adjacent to them.
Some players prefer to keep a Wallpass Bracelet equipped in the second slot instead.

• Cleansing Bracelet - Vile Scorpion (3-5F), Terror Scorpion (6-9F)
• Rustproof Bracelet - Mudster (6-11F)
• Affixing Bracelet - Fencer (6-11F)
• Cursebreak Bracelet - Curse Matron (14-20F)

Eradication Scroll

Throw this at a Vile Scorpion, Mudster, or Fencer if you lack a counter to them.
However, the floor range for each of these threats is narrow, so Sealing Staff might be plenty.

Sluggish Staff / Paralyzing Staff / Sealing Staff

Nice to have on hand to disable a single monster and prevent accidents.

Peach Staff / Peach Bun Rune

Turn a Soul Reaper (10-20F) into a Peach Bun and eat it to gain wallpass and swift speed.
Eating a Peach Bun also removes Far-throwing Trap's effect, so it can be nice on Fencer floors.
Peach Staff can't be used against Hoppin' Hitter (4-7F) or Hoppin' Slugger (13-17F).

Porky's Rock

Easiest counter for behemoth monsters, which can appear between 2-9F and 11-19F.

Earthmound Staff

Pair it with a Bouncy Bracelet to make otherwise unsolvable bouncy wall room layouts solvable.

Farming Techniques

None of these techniques are necessary since it's a dungeon that allows carry-in items.

Igneous Hunting (3-5F)

Eat a Flamepuff Bun and blow fire at a Blazeous (Lv2) to level it up once, then defeat it for 999 exp.
Blazeous (Lv3) has 165 HP and 56 attack, so you'll probably want a shield strength of at least 60.
Infernous (Lv4) provides 1999 exp, but might be too tough with 285 HP and 69 attack.

Mudster Hunting (6-11F)

Unequip your weapon and shield, then hunt Mudsters or Mudders while making them multiply.
Seal off the room using Paralyzing Staff or Earthmound Staff, and stand on the stairs.

Chow Bun (6-20F)

Chow appears on 6-20F, so stock up on Chow Buns for Sacred Item farming in Isle of the Mighty.
See Isle of the Mighty for details.

Floor Guide

1-2F

Hat Urchin, Death Reaper, Shagga, and Octopling are the only monsters that spawn.
None of them are notable threats, but it'd be good to level up a bit before descending to 3F.

3-5F

Some stronger Lv2 monsters appear alongside lesser threats like Mid Chintala:

• Pumpanshee (60 HP, 35 atk, 22 def) - Passes through walls, random movement.
• Blazeous (92 HP, 36 atk, 24 def) - Immune to projectiles without piercing properties.
• Cursister (115 HP, 38 atk, 38 def) - Curses your equipped weapon or shield.
• Vile Scorpion (108 HP, 45 atk, 33 def) - Lowers strength by 2 when adjacent.
• Tiger Hurler (135 HP, 50 atk, 45 def) - Throws creatures, range of 10 tiles.

6-11F

Chow appears between 6-20F, so there's risk of a monster randomly leveling up.
10F is always a Shuffle Dungeon style map similar to Sozoro Bay - Don't use Handy Dash.

The monster table is mostly bumped up to Lv3, and includes some trickier enemies:

• Great Hen (120 HP, 55 atk, 40 def) - Swift 1 action speed (6~11F).
• Soul Reaper (75 HP, 40 atk, 40 def) - Swift 2 action speed (10~20F).
• Mudster (140 HP, 35 atk, 43 def) - Rusts equipment or erases 1 rune (6~11F).
• Fencer (140 HP, 49 atk, 48 def) - Disarms your equipped weapon or shield (6~11F).
• Bellthoven (150 HP, 45 atk, 45 def) - Summons up to 3 monsters at a time (6~20F).
• Terror Scorpion (185 HP, 55 atk, 45 def) - Lowers max strength by 1 (6~9F).

12-20F

Chow is still around, but this floor range is usually easier than 6-11F if your equipment is strong.

Ornery Tank (95 HP) overlaps with Igneous (165 HP) and Concusschin (160 HP) between 16-20F.
Igneous will multiply when hit by an explosion, and Concusschin will immediately explode.

Curse Matron (145 HP, 53 atk, 48 def) can curse equipped bracelets, but is otherwise harmless.
However, Cursenior can curse any item in your inventory, so beware if she levels up.
