Postgame dungeon where you start with a Trapper's Bracelet and utilize traps to progress.
Trapper status allows Shiren to pick up traps and set them on the ground to ensnare monsters.
Once set, traps can't be picked up again, and the status is lost while the bracelet is unequipped.
Shiren's attack power remains the same in both modes, so the only time the player would want to
unequip the bracelet would be when the player wants to use a Blast Trap to one-shot enemies.
Strategy
General
Trapper Status
Shiren's color palette changes to a purple one while he has Trapper status.
All hidden traps are revealed, and traps can be picked up, thrown, or set on the ground.
Monsters can be ensnared by traps, and traps never activate when Shiren walks on top of them.
Shiren earns 10% of the regular amount of experience points when a monster steps on a trap,
and also earns x2.0 experience points when a monster is defeated by a trap that deals damage.
However, traps like Rotting Trap that instantly defeat a monster do not grant experience points.
Warning - Blast Trap / Explosion Trap
Blast Trap and Explosion Trap function differently under Trapper status:
Trap Info
Rock Trap / Boulder Trap
Rock Trap deals 16~20 damage, and
Boulder Trap deals 32~38 damage.
These traps can be used to reliably earn experience points if placed in intersections.
Log Trap and
Tripping Trap can also be used, but they're not as powerful.
Spinning Trap / Sleep Trap / Blinding Trap / Sluggish Trap / Delusion Trap / Onigiri Trap
These are traps that inflict a negative stauts condition, with
Delusion Trap being the best.
Monsters with Deluded status won't attack Shiren, and will instead run away from him forever.
The second best trap is
Blinding Trap, since its effect similarly never wears off for monsters.
Sleep Trap and
Onigiri Trap have short durations, so use them on enemies you can quickly defeat.
Curse Trap / Silver-seal Trap
Inflicts a monster with Sealed status, making them unable to use abilities.
Useful when hunting Thiefwalruses (5-13F), though you might want to pair it with a
Removal Trap
which lowers a monster's Attack Power and Defense Power.
Also great for shutting down Skull Wizards on 19-20F.
Rust Trap
Decreases Defense Power + inflicts a similar effect to getting hit by a Water Gun Pot.
Basically makes Masked Samurai (10-12F), Minotaur (16-20F), and Pop Tank (16-18F) a non-issue.
However, this trap cannot be used to transform enemies with Onigiri status into Rotten Onigiri.
Mudkin (11-14F) and other Aquatic type monsters will have their HP restored by 25% instead.
Removal Trap
Decreases a monster's Attack Power and Defense Power.
Unlike some of the previous games, this trap doesn't inflict Sealed status on a monster.
Intentionally step on it yourself if you equip a cursed weapon, shield, or bracelet.
Blast Trap / Explosion Trap
Under Trapper status, HP is reduced by 50% for Blast Trap, and HP is set to 1 for Explosion Trap.
Always unequip the Trapper Bracelet before stepping on it when you want to one-shot monsters.
Otherwise, you're extremely likely to collapse if you step on it while you're surrounded.
Alternatively, use it after
Onigiri Trap to instantly turn a monster into Grilled Onigiri.
Rotting Trap
Monsters who step on this trap are instantly defeated and transform into a Rotten Onigiri.
Rotten Onigiri can be thrown at a monster to inflict them with a negative status condition.
Blast Trap can be used to turn Rotten Onigiri into Grilled Onigiri.
Trap-setting Trap
Step on this to increase the number of traps on the ground.
Save it for when the number of traps in your inventory starts to get low.
Spring Trap
Step on this when you're being chased to warp to a different location on the current floor.
Basically the same as Leaping Grass.
Poison Arrow Trap / Wooden Arrow Trap
Use these traps to stock up on arrows instead of setting them for enemies to step on.
Place it down alongside a wall, then throw an item at the wall so that the item lands on the trap.
Monsterizing Trap / Summoning Trap / Rage Trap
Negative effect traps.
These 3 traps offer zero advantages for the player when activated.
Try to avoid having monsters step on them if possible.
Important Items
Trapper's Bracelet
The player starts with this item, but additional copies can be found inside the dungeon.
Strength Grass is on the uncommon side, so don't plan on being able to equip 2 bracelets.
It's a good idea to keep it equipped to avoid accidentally losing it.
Weapon and Shield (High Base Value)
Mixers don't appear, so prioritize high base stats instead of special abilities.
Hell Reaper (7-9F) floors are very tough without a shield in particular.
Dragonkiller
Nice to have against Floor Dragon (13-15F) and Flamepuff (18-20F), who can't be ensnared by traps.
Wooden Arrow / Poison Arrow
A single Poison Arrow reduces enemy attack power by about 50%.
Collect arrows from any arrow trap you come across, repositioning the trap as needed.
Don't shoot Poison Arrows at Scorpion (4-7F) or Ghost Radish (16-17F).
Mapping Scroll / Guiding Staff
Floor-exiting Trap and
Pitfall Trap are never naturally generated in this dungeon,
so Mapping Scroll and Guiding Staff are the easiest methods to rush to the next floor.
Narrow-escape Staff / Switching Staff / Blurry Incense
These items are nice to have on hand in case you encounter a single room Monster House.
Trap Scroll
Bottomless Pot
Break this pot to generate a number of
Pitfall Traps equal to capacity,
which can be intentionally stepped on to advance to the next floor.
Floor Guide
1-3F
Floating type monsters don't appear yet, so traps are effective against all monsters.
Try to secure additional food by utilizing
Rotting Trap and
Blast Trap.
Set some
Blinding Traps on the ground to level up a Pit Mamel into a Cave Mamel,
then defeat it using a trap that deals damage for 4000 experience points.
3-4F
Pumphantasm (23 HP, 16 atk, 10 def) appears on 4-5F and can't be trapped, so be careful.
Froggo (23 HP, 10 atk, 13 def) appears on 3-5F, and always drops Gitan when it's defeated.
Shops can be generated in this dungeon, so it'd be good to stock up on Gitan a bit.
5-12F
Thiefwalrus (65 HP, 25 atk, 23 def) appears on 5-13F, and always drops an item when it's slain.
It has higher Attack Power, so be careful if you decide to inflict Sealed status on it.
Hell Reaper (45 HP, 12 atk, 15 def) appears on 7-9F and can be a problem if your shield is weak.
A shield strength of 11~12 makes them a non-issue, but otherwise consider rushing stairs.
Crossbowboy (55 HP, 20 atk, 20 def) overlaps with Bored Kappa (50 HP, 18 atk, 11 def) on 10-12F,
so it's possible to collect Iron Arrows - Don't go overboard with it, since this dungeon is only 20F.
Masked Samurai (47 HP, 18 atk, 18 def) and Mudkin (70 HP, 5 atk, 9 def) overlap on 11-12F,
so it's possible to hunt Lv3 Mudsters (460 exp) or Lv4 Mudders (920 exp) to rapidly level up.
Don't inflict Sealed status on a Mudster (35 atk) or Mudder (45 atk) due to their higher attack stats.
13-15F
Floor Dragon (55 HP, 25 atk, 20 def) appears on 13-15F, and can't be ensnared by traps.
Depending on your level and equipment, it might be best to switch to rushing stairs.
However, if you've performed farming techniques, this floor range should be fine to explore.
16-20F
Rumbledon (125 HP, 53 atk, 45 def) and Pop Tank (90 HP, 20 atk, 24 def) both have Slow speed,
and can be further weakened by a
Rust Trap.
Flamepuff (50 HP, 25 atk, 20 def) appears on 18-20F, and can't be ensnared by traps.
Skull Wizard (88 HP, 35 atk, 24 def) also appears on 19-20F, so use the Look Around command.
N'dubba (32 HP, 16 atk, 8 def) can be disguised as an item on the ground between 19-20F,
so it's best to rely on traps or items already in your inventory for this final stretch.
