Overview

The Sacred Tree is a feature that was added in the version 1.1.0 update.
It's unlocked after clearing Serpentcoil Island, and lets you challenge dungeons under special rules.

Notes:

• Villages and overworld areas are skipped.
• The player cannot request any rescues - Be very careful if you bring items!
• Monster slots you encounter inside a dungeon will get recorded in the Adventure Log like normal.
• Bosses are present in Serpentcoil Island, Dune of Batsu, Cavern of Suiryu, and Yamakagashi Pass.
• Press in the right analog stick to pause gameplay, including counters for Countdown Trial and such.

Player Select

Sacred Tree dungeons offer an option to play as characters other than Shiren.

Shiren

Can be used in all dungeons.

Kokatsu Shiren

Unlocked by clearing Cavern of Suiryu?
Cannot be used in Peach Dungeon or Trapper's Secret Path.

Normal Attack

Shiren's normal attack initially reaches 1 tile ahead, but gains 1 tile of range per enemy defeated (max: 3 tiles).
However, the boosted normal attack range resets to the initial state whenever Shiren receives damage.
Since Shiren can't equip a shield, it's very important to utilize the extended range to avoid damage.
This normal attack can cut through corners, and can also hit Pumphantasms inside walls.

Special Attacks

Altered Effects

Certain traps and monster special attacks affect Kokatsu Shiren differently.

Normal Trial

Normal Trial Rules

Challenge a dungeon using the same rules as the main game.

Countdown Trial

Turns have a time limit called Turn Countdown, which resets every time you take an action.
Total Countdown will begin to decrease when Turn Countdown reaches 0.
If Total Countdown reaches 0, you fail the adventure.

The adventure cannot be suspended during a Countdown Trial.
