Shiren 1 DS:Herb of Revival

The Herb of Revival (Japanese: 復活の草) is a herb introduced to the Super Famicom release of Shiren 1. If Shiren has an Herb of Revival in his top-level inventory when he dies, he will be brought back to life on the next turn (with full health). This will transform the Herb of Revival into Weeds. Eating an Herb of Revival or throwing it will have no effect beyond wasting the item. Don't eat them! If Shiren is transformed at the moment of death (say, having been turned into a Riceball or any monster type), the resurrection effect will function. Shiren reverts to his 'normal' self as he dies, and thus he has access to his inventory as normal. The resurrection effect will not function if the Herb of Revival is in a Jar.

Tips for use

• If you do manage to die while carrying an Herb of Revival in a jar, this will unlock one of the Adventure Log entry #62. (Couldn't revive by Herb of Revival."). You'll still be dead, though.
  • An alternative way to get the adventure log entry is if your Revival Herb is Cursed.
