Castle Keep

Third dungeon of the game which is unlocked after clearing Castle Tower.
Staves can be found starting from this dungeon, and more enemies with tricky special attacks appear.
One could say this dungeon is where the game finally starts to feel like you're done with the tutorial.
There's another easy boss fight at the end of the dungeon.

Strategy

This dungeon is a bit tough, so bring equipment with 12 or so power if you want to be safe.
Level up at the Training Hall before entering if you want an easier time.

Linger and hunt Dragon Guards (7-10F) if you want to collect some Escape Scrolls for later.
Synthesis Pot can be found starting from this dungeon.

Floor Guide

1-5F

Shops can be generated between 1-5F, and sometimes have a Holy Bracelet for sale.
This bracelet protects against curses, making Curse Girl a non-issue.

Hunger Traps appear between 1-5F, and can be a problem if you didn't bring extra Onigiri.
If you want to stay safe, use Sight Grass to reveal traps, or swing your weapon to check for a trap 1 tile ahead.

Jungarian (3-5F) steals an item and throws it behind itself - if it hits a character, the item is lost.
Curse Girl (3-7F) curses 1 item, which makes an item either unusable or unable to be unequipped.

6-11F

Curse Girl (3-7F) remains a threat to your items - use staves or projectiles if you have some on hand.

Pot Fisher (8-10F) steals a pot and runs away at double speed - defeat it to reclaim your pot.
If you have important pots, consider placing them on the ground before fighting a Pot Fisher.

Sip Leech (10-11F) can lower your strength by 1, which reduces the amount of damage you deal.

12-18F

Daze Hermit (12-14F) inflicts Inaccurate status on Shiren, making his attacks miss for 5 turns.

Demon Warrior (12-14F) turns into Ghost Warrior when defeated, who then levels up a different monster.
If this results in a Lv2 Hannya Warrior, immediately rush to the stairs instead of trying to fight it.
※ Hannya Warrior reflects direct attacks, so projectiles or items must be used.

King Tusker (15-17F) inflicts Muzzled status, which prevents usage of "Eat" and "Read" commands.
This lasts for the duration of the floor, so consider eating onigiri earlier if fullness is getting low.

Boss

Lord only uses direct attacks, and you can circle around a pillar to safely regen HP during the fight.
Sanctuary Scroll is also effective, along with staves that inflict status conditions such as Decoy Staff.
