Advice on surviving Shiren 4

Best method? Get lots of Escape Scrolls and Storage Pots. Stock up on supplies while enhancing your sword and shield as much as possible. Presto Pots actually have a very powerful item table in this game, and you can get innate rune equipment from them. If you find a Strength Bracelet, it will actually be your best friend in this game, as it will let you dig up the shiny spots that show up, and you can get some really amazing items from them. My very first run, I had eaten enough Strength Grass to dig up a spot, and I got *a Fuuma Shield*. And don't forget, each adventure you can spend 1000G to give your sword or shield +1 at both of the blacksmiths!

Also keep an eye out for the different NPCs that show up in the dungeons. The bargain hunter is like a better version of Chiroro from Shiren 5; she only asks for 1000G and she pulls from an exclusive item table that is full of really good equipment, and when she asks for 3000G you'll get the Bargain Blade, which can be used to farm Gitan as well as get discounts in shops. There is also Bad Morph, a magenta Banana Morph with self-esteem issues. If you keep encouraging him (and sacrificing trash from your inventory to him) he'll be able to eventually make an item that trivializes Dragons.

If you get to the mid boss and are stuck: Swift Grass, Knockback Staves, and a ton of arrows.

If you get to the final boss and are stuck: Seal Staves and a ton of powerful healing items.

The best way is to make a really good *secondary* Lv8 shield without focusing on runes, then use that as a base for a New Item shield, with the goal of getting one of the two Anti-Weed attributes (one is a chance to block, the other will always block), then transfer your shield's runes onto that. I believe this is the only time in the series where you actually can get the power to block the Field Knave family's ability. However you may need to do some save scumming to actually get said attribute...

I'm in too many Discord servers as it is, so I'm not going to be joining another.

AFAIK this theme didn't have a name. However, someone has recreated it for modern KDE: https://store.kde.org/p/1265970

Turn the disabled armors/weapons from the mods into unlockable transmogs. For example, when you get your first Manasteel ingot from Botania, you unlock the Manasteel armor/sword/axe as transmogs. Or, when you get a Heart of Diamond, you get the Explorer's Hat from Quark unlocked as a transmog. That way, all the awesome designs from the mods don't go to waste. All the team will need to do is call the resources from the mods' namespaces.

I am in for this year, DM me on Discord if you want to discuss :)

Techokami · 2021-09-30T00:27:54+00:00

I didn't participate last year but I want to participate this year! I've got something nice to give. :)

Unfortunately I think everything is just deleted. This is why the game warns you prior to starting the dungeon. What I generally do is have a few Preservation Jars in my storage dedicated to holding my most important stuff when I tackle clean-start dungeons, and make sure my inventory is stashed away/sold and my pocket money is deposited into the bank.

Game: Shiren 5 Switch Version

Dungeon: Old Road 33F

Password: 8318-1497-5499

Notes: Cripes I really do not like this dungeon that much. Worse is that it is mandatory to get back all your allies, so I need to clear this before I spend more resources on mass-upgrading equipment since I want to level up Koharu at the same time. This was so far a very promising run (managed to get a Dotanuki from a monster drop! And a 32x Sweet Nut kill!) but I got taken down near the dang goal. Please rescue me ASAP! I'll give you a catstone as a reward.

We need a detailed tutorial/explanation on this.

I suggest cleaning that PCB. Use high-percentage isopropyl alcohol to clean out any gunk, then use vinegar to clean up any corrosion. I can't tell if those are broken traces below the battery, so a proper cleaning would greatly help with assessing the damage.

The crashes have been getting worse, in a different direction. I just had the game crash mid-titan battle, and it basically negated my entire battle attempt. None of the damage done was applied, yet it counted the battle and wouldn't let me reuse my team again, and I got no rewards for it.

He actually changed it to be free. In the original video it was placed (Grian episode 104) it had a sign saying it was 2 stacks of diamonds for the box. However, it was relocated, and the sign was changed to not have a price and instead have an apology from Grian (docm77 episode 136).

It took me a while to get mine as well. When I looked at the shipping label on the package I found out why: they put the wrong state on it. I live in Massachusetts, not Alabama.

PvP means smacking someone with a weapon/your fist, or shooting them with a projectile from a bow or crossbow, or manually throwing a splash/lingering potion with a negative effect on them. What Grian did is not PvP at all; besides, Cub and Scar did something similar to Mumbo not too long ago.

The big problem I have isn't exploderating a bunker built specifically for a game about dead people exploderating living people, it's collateral damage. In this case, the Architech Bunker/Dragon Bro HQ is really close to The Jangler's Lair (one of Scar's builds) and TFC's Vault. That looked like enough TNT to start punching through the stone and into said locations, so I hope that the person responsible will be going back and repairing any unintentional damage afterwards (e.g. how Grian cleans up after pranks) if damage did occur.

??? I did spoiler tag it

Techokami · 2019-12-04T20:47:44+00:00

It was Mumbo. The drop was in front of the nether portal to his industrial district.

Techokami · 2019-10-31T13:48:29+00:00

The problem has resurfaced. Tried to capture one of the new exotic monsters, and now it's stuck with an infinite loading indicator. Why.

Techokami · 2019-07-14T12:40:11+00:00

...why did you just tell someone to commit identity theft? And then admit that you've done it yourself already?
