Overview

Congratulations on clearing the main story! You're now finished with the tutorial.
That's right - The main story was just the introduction to Shiren 6, and there's lots more to do!

There are 17 other dungeons besides Serpentcoil Island (not counting hidden routes) with various rules.
In addition, there's a notebook to complete, 51 achievements to aim for, and a secret title screen to unlock.

Dungeons

Dungeon List

Reward for 2nd+ clears for dungeons that only list a 1st clear reward is a random blue sacred item.

Dungeon Unlock Chart

If a particular dungeon doesn't seem to be unlocking, visit more locations that have a red ! on the map.
Progressing synthesis related events might also be part of the requirements for some dungeons.

Dungeon Difficulty Ranking

Keep in mind that this difficulty ranking is an opinion piece, and isn't absolute.

No Carry-In Items

Carry-In Items

All dungeons that allow bringing items drop down to "Easy" if you overprepare.

Restricted Play (No Bringing Items / Wanderer Rescue)

Get Stronger

Some dungeons expect you to bring strong equipment, so this section helps you get up to speed.

Obtain the Best Equipment

Kabura Sutegi + Rasen Fuuma

Pros / Cons:

• (+) Highest base stats in the game, resonance effect lets you 2-shot Gitan Mamels.
• (−) Must bring 2 Strength Grass if you want to equip 2 bracelets at the start of a dungeon.
• (−) Costs twice the amount of Gitan to fully upgrade starting from Manji Kabura and Fuuma Shield.

Set Stats:

• Weapon: 50 Base Attack (Max: 149 non-sacred, up to 159 sacred).
• Shield: 30 Base Defense (Max: 129 non-sacred, up to 139 sacred).
• Resonance: Your normal attacks deal an additional 10 damage.

How to Obtain:

• Kabura Sutegi = Upgrade a Manji Kabura+99 at the Traveling Blacksmith in Shukuba Beach.
  • Rune slots will be set to 15 slots upon transforming the Manji Kabura.
• Rasen Fuuma = Upgrade a Fuuma Shield+99 at the Traveling Blacksmith in Shukuba Beach.
  • Rune slots will be set to 15 slots upon transforming the Fuuma Shield.

Yamanba's Cleaver + Yamanba's Potlid

Pros / Cons:

• (+) Resonance effect lets you equip 2 bracelets without bringing Strength Grass.
• (−) Fewer initial rune slots than Kabura Sutegi and Rasen Fuuma, so needs more Slot-adding Scrolls.
• (−) Lower damage output than Kabura Sutegi + Rasen Fuuma.

Set Stats:

• Weapon: 10 Base Attack (Max: 109 non-sacred, up to 119 sacred).
• Shield: 10 Base Defense (Max: 109 non-sacred, up to 119 sacred).
• Resonance: Weapon and shield become cursed, increase strength by 4.

How to Obtain:

• Found in various postgame dungeons.

Upgrade Equipment

The quickest method to upgrade equipment is to use the Traveling Blacksmith in Shukuba Beach 9 times,
then fast-travel to Secret Ninja Village and upgrade 1 time → return to Shukuba Beach from the map.
※ You can return to Shukuba Beach after using the Wagoneer as long as you don't enter a dungeon.

The total cost is actually slightly less since the blacksmith occasionally upgrades by +3 instead of +1.

Earning Gitan

As you can see in the table above, you'll need a lot of Gitan to fully upgrade equipment.
The best way to earn Gitan is to sell high-value items in a dungeon shop and steal them back.
(See Stealing Guide for safe methods)

Methods to earn Gitan that don't involve stealing:

• Read a Fixer Scroll inside the Shukuba Beach warehouse when your Gitan total is 0.
• Equip a Golden Sword and Golden Shield at the same time, then hunt monsters for Gitan drops.
• Collect lots of Blank Scrolls in Domain of Staves and Scrolls, then sell Eradication Scrolls.
  • This becomes more efficient if you've cleared Kiki Island and have unlocked Escape Scrolls.

Synthesize Runes

Finalize your main weapon and shield by synthesizing the best runes.
Slot-adding Scrolls can be used to increase the number of rune slots on an item (max: 30 slots).

Mixergons can be found between 16-30F of Training Path of Shopping, and can eat up to 4 items.
If your equipment isn't strong enough yet, you can go to Serpentcoil Island or Golden Highway instead.
To ensure safety, swing a Peach Staff at a Mixergon and synthesize in the Shukuba Beach warehouse.

Monster entries in the Adventure Log can be filled out by utilizing Peach Buns, such as:

1. Go to a floor where the slot for Cave Mamel hasn't been unlocked yet.
2. Throw a Cave Mamel Bun at any enemy.
3. Swing a Peach Staff at the Cave Mamel, transforming it back into a Peach Bun.
4. Check the Adventure Log to confirm that the slot for Cave Mamel is now unlocked on that floor.

This trick is particularly effective for rare encounter slots like Cave Mamel, Mixer, and Chow.
