Draft:Shiren 3 Wii:Story Walkthrough

Otsustuki Village

When you watch the opening scene when the game starts up you find out Shiren has been invited by a man he refers to as Sensei to come to a town because he has come across the key to a legendary place known as the Karakuri Mansion. You must ask around Otsutsuki Village (Japanese オオツツキ村) to find out about this legend and if there is any truth to it. Now, you can run around and talk to everyone but to progress the story you must go to the bar, here you will find Sensei. Some thugs get in the way but are quickly taken care of by Sensei, the bar owners now want you to rescue their daughter, Tae, who has been kidnapped by the thugs who hang out around the Ruined Temple to the West outside the village. So, to get there you must first pass through our first dungeon, Sanuki Forest.

Ruined Temple

At the Ruined Temple (Japanese 荒れ寺) you meet the leader of the thugs, Jurouta, and find out Tae wasn't really kidnapped but actually ran away. Jurouta and his henchmen decide they want to find out more about the Karakuri Mansion as well. So, they spring a trap and you are dropped into the Temple Underground where you fight your first boss.

Temple Underground is not a dungeon but only a boss, the Sword Tiger. The Sword Tiger has an attack that can immobilize you but none of the Sword Tigers attacks are very strong. This should be a very simple first boss fight. Remember to always enter Full Control Mode when fighting bosses. This will give you full control over each character in your party and make boss fights much easier.

After beating the Sword Tiger, you arrive back above and find that Jurouta and his gang have taken off and left Tae behind. You hear some creepy voice talking about Shiren as you leave to return to the village. Tae is returned to the village, and you learn the thugs are searching for the Mansion and they headed up to Hourai Mountain, which is our next destination. To get to the mountain you have to go through Karakuri Pass. At this point you now have access to the Portal, up to level 5. If equipment is lost, the portal is a dungeon that can be accessed at any time from the world map and is a good place to find equipment should anything need to be replaced. Deeper access and better items will become available in the Portal Dungeon as you progress through the Story Mode.
