Canyon Hamlet 渓谷の宿場

This Canyon Hamlet page is about the Nintendo DS release. For the Super Famicom release, see Shiren 1 SFC:Canyon Hamlet.

For the lore page, see Shiren:Canyon Hamlet.

Canyon Hamlet (Japanese: 渓谷の宿場) is a small village that lies at the base of Kobami Valley. This village has for some time become a sort of hub for explorers and wanderers that are drawn to the rumors regarding the divine bird of legend, the Golden Condor, and the legendary city of gold which supposedly exists at the top of Table Mountain.

Plot

Canyon Hamlet appears to be the centerpiece of many mysteries beyond the local rumors, as wanderers who fall to the traps and monsters of the mysterious dungeons in this area inexplicably find themselves brought back at Canyon Hamlet, though without any of their possessions. Thankfully the few citizens of the hamlet are happy to help out the various wanderer's and adventurers that visit. Likewise, the village is somewhat prosperous thanks to the business the wanderers conduct there.

Town information

Shiren and Koppa first arrive here after clearing the Road to the Hamlet in the DS port of the game, or they start here in the Super Famicom release. After that, the hamlet will become the starting point for your journey every time you die, give up or finish an adventure in any way, as you will be mysteriously brought back to local Inn, The Traveling Crow. Canyon Hamlet is in many ways the games tutorial area. You can learn a lot of the games basics by speaking with the various Characters in the village. You can also become acquainted with additional basic strategies on how to survive the games dungeons by solving Fay's Puzzles.

Canyon Hamlet is connected to two dungeons. The main game or story dungeon of Table Mountain can be reached by heading to the far right hand side of the town and then leaving. The post-credits dungeon Fay's Final Puzzle can be reached by entering Fay's Place and proceeding through the door within after completing all 50 of Fay's Puzzles and after finishing the main story dungeon at least once. You also have to unlock the Bufu and Scroll Cave bonus dungeons first as well.
