General Information

Monsters, traps and items can inflict various status conditions on Shiren. They inflict and provide various positive and negative effects on Shiren and can make a world of difference when it comes to survival.

Many of these conditions can be cured by consuming Monster Meat and will stay removed after reverting back to Shiren if not re-applied.

Reference Table

State	Description
Asleep	Prevents movement, attacks and the use of items for a number of turns.
Auto Identify
Blind	When blinded, the screen turns black, forcing the player to navigate via the portion of the mini-map already uncovered or to use an item to cure the blindness, such as an Herb of Sight or an Antidote Herb.
Clear-Sighted	Allows you to see traps on the floor, and invisible monsters. Gained by eating an Herb of Sight.
Confused	When confused, yellow stars appear above your head. If you attempt to move or attack whilst confused, you will have no control over the direction of said actions. However, items like staves and arrows will still shoot in the direction you are facing, so it is possible to continue combat with staves and arrows while confused by first holding (Y) to face towards your enemy without moving. Confusion can be avoided by wearing an Armband of Calm.
Double Speed	Shiren will be able to move or attack twice per turn. (relative to something, add comparison?)
Enhanced	_.Can be applied multiple times to increase power to maximum of 8 times.
Full Hands	You cannot pick up any items from floor.
Hasted	You can take 2 turns per 1 turn from monsters.
Hit Point Drain	You will lose 1 HP per turn while effected. Can last for 10-40 turns .
Hypnotized	Forces random actions, including throwing items (equipped or not equipped), unequipping weapons/armor, attacking in random directions, eating herbs, inserting items into jars, reading scrolls, and swinging staves.
Immobilized
Invincible	You will not lose HP to attacks for 20 turns.
Invisible	Monsters will not attack or follow you.
No Natural Recovery	Shiren will not recover HP by walking around while effected. Can last for 10-40 turns.
Kigny	You lose control over Shiren as he wanders the floor, attacking any monster or NPC he sees.
Paralyzed	Will not be able to do anything for a number of turns or until being hit by a monster.
Poisoned	You lose 5 HP and 1 strength point.
Postponed	You warp above the stairs and become paralyzed.
Puzzled	Monsters and NPCs appear as Girl. The stairs, visible traps, and items lying on the floor appear as flowers. You will be unable to talk to NPCs while puzzled, so treat any unknown Girl as a monster if encountered. This inability to speak to NPCs does not prevent the use of items like the Silenced status.
Riceball	Prevents the use of items. You lose the bonuses from your equipments so your attack and defense will drop drastically. You can be also instant killed if you step on a Rotten Trap in this form.
Sealed	Prevent the use of items and any special abilities.
Silenced	Prevents eating Riceballs, Herbs and Monster Meat, reading Scrolls, or speaking to anyone.
Slowed	Monsters take 2 turns per 1 turn you take.
Starving	Prevents natural healing and you lose 1 HP a turn.
Strange Spell	Prevents natural healing at the first level spell, and loss of 1HP per step on the second level spell. Can be dispelled by eating monster meat or reverting to change forms.
Trap Master	Will allow Shiren to see, pick up, and place traps. Monsters will now be affected by traps which, in turn, triggers an EXP multiplyer. This multiplyer increases by 1x if the monster trips another trap during it's next turn. This is called "chaining." When Shiren kills a monster with a multiplyer, it will be applied to the EXP received. However, monsters directly killed by Shiren with no multiplier only give you 1 experience point each. See Trap Strategy for more info.
