Obaba's Hidden Hole

Time attack dungeon where the main objective is to reach the goal within 2 hours.
10 minutes gets added to your time as a penalty if you don't have at least 10,000 Gitan at the end.
A timer is displayed in the lower right, and you're unable to suspend the game inside the dungeon.
You're allowed to bring 1 item, but if you collapse, you won't be able to request a rescue.
Overall, the idea of a time attack dungeon is novel, but carry-in items don't mesh with the design,
so it ends up feeling rather forgettable instead of having a distinct flavor.

Strategy

General

Monsters are on the stronger side in this dungeon, so you'll likely struggle if you enter without items.
The carry-in limit is 1 item, but items inside a Storage Pot aren't counted, so you can actually bring 5 items.
Example: Storage Pot (Weapon, Shield, Bracelet, Blank Scroll, Revival Grass)

If you need to take a break, you can put the DS in sleep mode to pause the timer.

Items

Weapon / Shield

It's not worth risking irreplaceable items like Fiery Fuuma, so bring an upgraded Mamel or Katana set.
You'll want a shield with 竜 (Dragon Shield), 身 (Dodge Shield), and プ (Prism Shield) runes at minimum.

  • 竜 - For Sky Dragon (45F, 48F), Archdragon (46F, 49F), and Abyss Dragon (47F, 50F) floors.
  • 身 - For Bored Kappa (14-16F) and Mesmerikon (47-50F) floors.
  • プ - For Nigiri Morph (19-20F), Nigiri Boss (33-34F), and Cell Armor (31-34F) floors.

Bracelet

Gold Bracelet (Scout + Vision + Heal + Nirvana)
RuneItemNotes
Scout BraceletReveals the locations of items and monsters.
Vision BraceletLets you see things that are normally hidden.
Nirvana BraceletNatural fullness depletion stops.
Heal BraceletRestore 5 HP per turn, but double hunger rate.

Other

  • Blank Scroll - Be able to write Escape Scroll, at the very least.
  • Revival Grass - Bless it so you get 2 uses out of it.

Floor Guide

1-20F

Bored Kappa (14-16F), Slurp Leech (16-18F), Bat Kangaroo (17-19F), Nigiri Morph (19-20F), etc.

You shouldn't really have issues with strong equipment.

21-30F

Dragon (21-27F), Mini Mixer (27-34F), Blessing Plant (28-35F), Eagle Tengu (29-34F), Phoenix Tengu (35-39F), etc.

You might be tempted to synthesize or bless items using Mini Mixer or Blessing Plant,
but starting on 29F there's a chance it's a diguised Eagle Tengu or Phoenix Tengu, so don't bother.

Tricky Tanuki (25-29F) is also around, so keep that in mind when you find items.

31-40F

Cell Armor (31-34F), Nigiri Boss (33-34F), Evil Kangaroo (34-35F), Crafty Tanuki (35-40F), Upgrade Plant (39-40F), etc.

Still nothing too scary if you have a good set of runes synthesized.
Bellthoven (36-37F) can summon up to three Lv3 monsters at a time, so use hallways.

Upgrade Plants on 39F might be disguised Phoenix Tengus (35-39F), so don't throw valuable items.

41-44F

Sludge (41-44F), Devil Kangaroo (43-45F), Shopin (43-46F), Slinger Beetle (43-47F), etc.

Strongly recommended to rush stairs.

Devil Kangaroo can create Enraged and Swift Sludges, potentially causing significant rune loss.
Shopin summons 1~3 Lv4 monsters when adjacent, so be sure to disable it with items.
Slinger Beetle can throw other monsters at Shiren, and has a throwing range of 15 tiles.

45-50F

Lv2-4 Dragons (45-50F), Lv3-4 Bat Kangaroos (43-47F), Shifty Tanuki (45-50F), Mesmerikon (47-50F), etc.

Flames from Lv3-4 Dragon monsters will hit you from anywhere on the floor, so rush stairs.
Mesmerikon throws Sleep Grass within 3 tiles, but should be harmless if you have Dodge Shield synthesized.
Mirage Devil (48-50F) should be visible thanks to your bracelet.
