 | This article is a draft relating to  / Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate (2020). |
Shiren the Wanderer 5 Plus: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate has a large number of locations to unlock and explore. As with previous games in the series, the bulk of the game's content is only accessible post-credits, after beating the main storyline.
Introduction
Shiren 5 and Shiren 5 Plus locations can be broken down into six categories.
Starting Villages
Inori Village and Nekomaneki Village are starting villages. In these villages, the player can interact with a large number of shops and characters, advance quests, unlock game elements, and organize their inventory. Almost all other locations can be reached from somewhere within these two villages.
Hermit's Hermitage and Sparrow's Inn are also major rest areas, but they are different from the starting villages because traveling to these locations commits you to a dungeon run. As such they are considered parts of the main dungeon, Tower of Fortune.
Tutorial Dungeon
Ouma Shrine is a training dungeon that initially separates the two starting villages. It is only accessible at the beginning of the game.
Main Dungeon
Tower of Fortune is the main dungeon in Shiren 5, and the location where the main storyline takes place. It includes many dungeons and rest areas from Destiny Trail through Miracle Alcove. Some bonus dungeons can also be launched here, once they are unlocked. The game tracks expert badges for the Tower of Fortune as a whole.
Puzzle Sets
The two Training Facilities and Statue Cave contain premade puzzles, and each puzzle consists of a single floor. Entering a puzzle does not count as starting a run. You can replay a puzzle as often as you wish, and you can reset or leave the puzzle at any time. You cannot take items into or out of a puzzle, although some puzzle sets provide rewards for beating them.
Minigames
Explosion Rocks is a randomly generated game most akin to Minesweeper but with a Shiren twist.
Bonus Dungeons
The original Shiren 5 has 11 bonus dungeons. The PlayStation Vita version of Shiren 5 Plus adds another 16, and the Nintendo Switch and Steam ports add another 3, for a total of 30 bonus dungeons. The added dungeons were available as downloadable content in the Japanese version of Shiren 5 Plus, but are included for free in the English version.
Dungeons from the original Shiren 5 are accessible from unique locations, but only after being unlocked by completing various side quests. Once unlocked, you can jump to these dungeons from the Sparrow Transport. Dungeons exclusive to Shiren 5 Plus are accessed from the Dungeon Center in Nekomaneki Village.
The bonus dungeons tend to be much more difficult than the Tower of Fortune main quest. Many of these dungeons do not let you take items or Gitan in, and will remind you to store your items and Gitan if you try to enter with them on you. If you beat or successfully escape from a bonus dungeon, you keep all items and Gitan you obtained inside. In addition, each bonus dungeon has a final reward item that you get upon beating the dungeon. Most final rewards are repeatable.
Many dungeons have some sort of twist that emphasizes one particular aspect of Shiren play. For example, Merchant's Hideout focuses on shops, Page of Youth focuses on monster licenses, Sleeping Lands focuses on night, and so on. Some dungeons, such as Double Strike Trail and Garden of Destiny, have special rules.
Most dungeons start with a shorter end goal, but after you beat them once, the end goal becomes harder (usually 99F) and stays there, with no way to play the shorter version again. Beating the initial, shorter goal counts as a victory in your Adventure Log. The game does not track whether you have beaten the harder version of a dungeon.
The game tracks 8 expert badges for each dungeon from the original Shiren 5. To obtain an expert badge, you must beat the dungeon while adhering to a very difficult constraint, such as winning without ever directly attacking a monster. You can learn more about the specifics of each expert badge by viewing the expert badges in your Adventure Log and using the left shoulder button.
List of Locations
These locations are available in the original version of Shiren 5.
