The Armband of Sight (Japanese: 透視の腕輪) is an armband introduced in the [[Shiren 1/Version Differences|Super Famicom]] release of Shiren 1. Wearing an Armband of Sight will make all [[Shiren 1/Items|items]], [[Shiren 1/Monsters|monsters]] and [[Shiren 1/NPCs|NPCs]] on the current floor visible to the player both on the main screen and the mini map display, including any invisible characters or monsters. The effect of an Armband of Sight does not make [[Shiren 1/Gameplay Elements/Traps|traps]] visible (like from the effect of an [[Shiren 1/Items/Herbs/Sight|Herb of Sight]]), nor does it reveal the floor layout (like from reading a [[Shiren 1/Items/Scrolls/Light|Scroll of Light]]). The armband of Sight does not technically stop the effect of the [[Shiren 1/Monsters/Dark Owl|Dark Owl]] family monsters but the player will see all monsters and items in a room with a Dark Owl family monster as though their effect wasn't working (Though the darkness effect will display on screen as normal.) Keep in mind that other monsters in those rooms are still affected by the Dark Owl.

The Armband of Sight is one of the most useful items in the game. It is the best armband to wear for generally walking around, as being able to see moving monsters on the map before you walk into them is the best way to protect against monsters that attack from off-screen or have dangerous abilities. It gives you opportunities to switch your equipped gear to best deal with any situation in advance. Being able to see items makes finding [[Shiren 1/Gameplay Elements/Special Rooms|Gitan stashes]] and [[Shiren 1/Gameplay Elements/Shops|shops]] a cinch. It is essential to have this armband equipped if you decide to hunt for the elusive [[Shiren 1/Items/Weapons/Kigny Axe|Kigny]] items in [[Shiren 1/Locations/Ceremonial Cave|Ceremonial Cave]] in a timely manner. Lastly, you can easily identify monster houses on the floor, allowing you to safely pull out monsters and dispatch them one at a time without stepping into the room and activating it.
Wearing an Armband of Sight will make all [[Shiren 1/Items|Items]], [[Shiren 1/Monsters|Monsters]] and [[Shiren 1/NPCs|NPCs]] on the current floor visible to the player both on the top and bottom screen maps. [[Shiren 1/Gameplay Elements/States/Invisible|Invisible]] monsters such as the [[Shiren 1/Monsters/Air Devil Family|Air Devil Family]] or entities will also be visible while equipping this armband.


This armband can also cure the [[Shiren 1/Gameplay Elements/States/Blind|blind]] state. If you equip this armband after becoming blinded, it will instantly cure you of the status. If you already have this armband equipped when you become blind, then you will have to un-equip and then re-equip the armband to benefit.

Hallways are normally dark with the exception of 1 square around Shiren, but with an Armband of Sight they can be seen from any distance, as long as they are on screen.
