This is a Post-credits guide as most of the {{MagicCastleDS|Item}}s you will need have to be obtained early to mid Post-Credits.


=== Requirements ===
===What you need===
Enter and clear the [[Shiren GB2/Locations/Dungeons/Tonfan Dungeon|Tonfan Dungeon]].


=== What you need ===
* A {{MagicCastleDS|Doppelganger}} or a {{MagicCastleDS|Staff of Happiness}} with at least 3 charges
** You will need these staves to level up the {{MagicCastleDS|Monster}}s mentioned below.


* Bufu's Staff [0]
* One {{MagicCastleDS|Sanctuary Scroll}}
** As you will have a tough monster trying to attack you, having this {{MagicCastleDS|Scroll}} is essential to do this.


You can return to the Tonfan Dungeon to try to obtain a Bufu's Staff. Bufu's Staves in the Tonfan Dungeon always spawn with 0 charges. Escape Scrolls start to spawn on the 21st floor.
* One {{MagicCastleDS|Absorb Jar}}
** Use this {{MagicCastleDS|Jar}} to capture the monster's special abilities and seal it; even if the monster is sealed, you can still absorb its abilities with this jar.


* Doppleganger Staff
==Infinite Item Strengthening==
[[File:Magic Castle DS - Strengthening Pitcher Plant.png|thumb|right|Level 4 Pitcher Plant]]
After obtaining all the required items, go to floors 6 - 8 of the {{MagicCastleDS|Ancient Ruins}} and find a '''{{MagicCastleDS|Pitcher Plant}}'''. Drop a Sanctuary Scroll on the entrance to the current room so it can't attack you. Use the Doppelganger Staff on other {{MagicCastleDS|Monster}}s or the Staff of Happiness on the '''Pitcher Plant''' itself until it levels up to level 4. Use your Absorb Jar on the '''{{MagicCastleDS|Strengthening Pitcher Plant}}''' until it's full. Pressing the Absorb Jar will allow you to transform into a '''Strengthening Pitcher Plant''' for a single turn and "eat" your equipment, powering it up. Always use the Absorb Jar's last charge on itself by standing on it as a '''Strengthening Pitcher Plant''', so the jar's capacity increases again.


Next you will need to obtain a Doppleganger or a Staff of Happiness with several charges.  
Using this method, as long as you have the Absorb Jar and don't die and lose your items, you will be able to infinitely re-use these items to strengthen equipment. Normally this wouldn't be a great method to level up items, but due to the commonality of Sanctuary Scrolls in this game and the ability of the monster to turn any scroll into a {{MagicCastleDS|Blank Scroll}}, this method becomes very viable.


* Sanctuary Scroll.  
===Additional Method===
If you bring an ally like {{MagicCastleDS|Pekeji}} into the {{MagicCastleDS|Warehouse}} and surround him with Sanctuary Scrolls, you can throw the monster meat at them to have a safely contained monster. Using the above method to always use the final Absorb Jar charge on itself, you can continually re-absorb the monsters ability and have an infinite strengthening setup from the safety of your warehouse.


Sanctuary scrolls are pretty common and you shouldn't have trouble finding several of them to pull off this method.  
# Recruit Pekeji and bring him to the warehouse.
# Surround him with Sanctuary Scrolls.
# Throw the '''Strengthening Pitcher Plant''' meat at him when he's standing in the center.
# Use the Absorb Jar as many times as you can on the monster.
# Place items on the ground you want to strengthen until you're down to one charge.
# Place the Absorb Jar on the ground and use the final charge on itself to bring it back up to 5 charges.
# Absorb the monster's ability 5 more times.
# Continually strengthen your equipment using this method.


* Absorb Jar
===Items that can be strengthened===


Absorb Jars can be obtained in the Tonfan dungeon so you can probably find one along the way while you're trying to obtain a Bufu's Staff and an Escape Scroll.
Using any of the two methods listed above, it is possible to strengthen these types of items:


== Infinite Item Strengthening ==
* {{MagicCastleDS|Weapon}}s, their upgrade bonus will increase by 5.
[[File:SDS2-Monster-FT-L4-Strengthening Pitcher Plant.png|thumb|right|Level 4 Pitcher Plant]]
* {{MagicCastleDS|Shield}}s, their upgrade bonus will increase by 5.
After obtaining all the required items, head to the [[Shiren GB2/Locations/Dungeons/Jahannam Gate|Jahannam Gate]] and climb to floors 6 - 9. Find a '''Pitcher Plant''' and drop a Sanctuary Scroll so it can't attack you. Use a Doppleganger Staff on other monsters until it levels up to level 4. Throw your Bufu's Staff [0] at it to add 5 charges to the staff. Use your Absorb Jar on the '''Strengthening Pitcher Plant''' and then kill it. Using the Absorb Jar will allow you to transform into a '''Strengthening Pitcher Plant''' and walk over your equipment, powering it up. Always use your final charge from the Absorb Jar from the floor and walk over it as the '''Strengthening Pitcher Plant''' and increase the number of slots again. Place a Sanctuary Scroll on the ground and throw the monster meat at a random monster to transform it. Throw your Bufu's Staff first so it won't run out of charges and then use your Absorb Jar to fill it back up again.
* {{MagicCastleDS|Armband}}s, if they are damaged, using this method will fix them.{{citation needed}}
 
* {{MagicCastleDS|Projectile}}s, their amount will increase by 5, max is 99.
Using this method, as long as you have a Sanctuary Scroll and don't die and lose your items, you will be able to infinitely re-use these items to strengthen equipment. Normally this wouldn't be a great method to level up items. But due to the commonality of Sanctuary Scrolls in this game and the ability of the monster to turn any scroll into a Blank Scroll, this method becomes very viable.  
* {{MagicCastleDS|Scroll}}s, they will be turned into a Blank Scroll; this doesn't apply for Sanctuary Scrolls stuck on the ground.
 
* {{MagicCastleDS|Staff|Staves}}, their charges will increase by 5, max is 99.

* {{MagicCastleDS|Jar}}s, their capacity will increase to 5.
If you bring an ally like [[Shiren GB2/NPCs/Pekeji|Pekeji]] into the storehouse and surround him with Sanctuary Scrolls, you can throw the monster meat at him to have a safely contained monster.

General information

This is a Post-credits guide as most of the Items you will need have to be obtained early to mid Post-Credits.

What you need

  • One Sanctuary Scroll
    • As you will have a tough monster trying to attack you, having this Scroll is essential to do this.
  • One Absorb Jar
    • Use this Jar to capture the monster's special abilities and seal it; even if the monster is sealed, you can still absorb its abilities with this jar.

Infinite Item Strengthening

Level 4 Pitcher Plant

After obtaining all the required items, go to floors 6 - 8 of the Ancient Ruins and find a Pitcher Plant. Drop a Sanctuary Scroll on the entrance to the current room so it can't attack you. Use the Doppelganger Staff on other Monsters or the Staff of Happiness on the Pitcher Plant itself until it levels up to level 4. Use your Absorb Jar on the Strengthening Pitcher Plant until it's full. Pressing the Absorb Jar will allow you to transform into a Strengthening Pitcher Plant for a single turn and "eat" your equipment, powering it up. Always use the Absorb Jar's last charge on itself by standing on it as a Strengthening Pitcher Plant, so the jar's capacity increases again.

Using this method, as long as you have the Absorb Jar and don't die and lose your items, you will be able to infinitely re-use these items to strengthen equipment. Normally this wouldn't be a great method to level up items, but due to the commonality of Sanctuary Scrolls in this game and the ability of the monster to turn any scroll into a Blank Scroll, this method becomes very viable.

Additional Method

If you bring an ally like Pekeji into the Warehouse and surround him with Sanctuary Scrolls, you can throw the monster meat at them to have a safely contained monster. Using the above method to always use the final Absorb Jar charge on itself, you can continually re-absorb the monsters ability and have an infinite strengthening setup from the safety of your warehouse.

  1. Recruit Pekeji and bring him to the warehouse.
  2. Surround him with Sanctuary Scrolls.
  3. Throw the Strengthening Pitcher Plant meat at him when he's standing in the center.
  4. Use the Absorb Jar as many times as you can on the monster.
  5. Place items on the ground you want to strengthen until you're down to one charge.
  6. Place the Absorb Jar on the ground and use the final charge on itself to bring it back up to 5 charges.
  7. Absorb the monster's ability 5 more times.
  8. Continually strengthen your equipment using this method.

Items that can be strengthened

Using any of the two methods listed above, it is possible to strengthen these types of items:

  • Weapons, their upgrade bonus will increase by 5.
  • Shields, their upgrade bonus will increase by 5.
  • Armbands, if they are damaged, using this method will fix them.[Citation needed]
  • Projectiles, their amount will increase by 5, max is 99.
  • Scrolls, they will be turned into a Blank Scroll; this doesn't apply for Sanctuary Scrolls stuck on the ground.
  • Staves, their charges will increase by 5, max is 99.
  • Jars, their capacity will increase to 5.
