Draft:Shiren 1 SFC:Scroll Cave

This article may need cleanup to meet quality standards.
Please help improve this if you can. The Discussion page may contain suggestions.

The Scroll Cave (Japanese: 掛軸裏の洞窟) is a bonus dungeon in Shiren 1 emphasizing offensive use of traps against monsters. It is sometimes called Gaibara's Dungeon or the trap dungeon.

Gaining Access

The entrance to this dungeon is in Mountaintop Town, inside Gaibara's pottery dojo. You must complete Gaibara's side quest, and beat Table Mountain, then visit Gaibara again to unlock access to this dungeon.

Unique Features

You cannot take items or Gitan into the dungeon (any that you have on you when you enter are discarded). But you can take allies into the dungeon and you get to keep anything you have on hand should you win or escape.

You start the dungeon with a Trap Armband, which lets you pick up traps and use them against enemies. This radically changes how you play this dungeon as compared to normal "baseline" play.

While wearing a Trap Armband, the rules to the game change. Monsters are harmed by stepping on traps, and you are not. You can also pick them up as items, and drop them to set them where you want. Dropped traps cannot be picked up again, and have a chance of vanishing every time they are set off. All monsters get a "multiplier" when you wear the Trap Armband, and a monster killed with a multiplier at zero is only worth one experience point, regardless of difficulty. When a monster steps on a trap, the multiplier goes up by one. From there, stepping on another trap will boost the multiplier by another point, but stepping on a non-trap space lowers it by one. When a monster dies, the experience earned is the normal value times the multiplier.

Goal & Final Reward

The goal is to find Gaibara. He appears randomly starting from 15 Fl. This dungeon doesn't have a boss monster. If you succeed, the reward item is a Venting Jar.

Strategies

Shiren's level will reset to 1 by entering.

While collecting traps on the early floors, keep an eye out for a Riceball Trap. When you've found one, level up a Rice Baby with it and proceed to let the Rice Changer breathe on 5 or 6 of your items. At this point, experience is not a concern, so only collect traps that will help you survive the last floors, such as traps that seal or instantly kill monsters. If you find a weapon that's not a Pickaxe and a decent shield along the way, you shouldn't have much trouble beating this dungeon.

If you find the experience of being in the Scroll Cave dull, try to leave with multiple Trap Armbands.

Notes

You need to *complete* the Kitchen God Shrine (Meet Naoki 25 F) and Scroll Cave (Meet Gaibara 15 F) to unlock FFP in the SFC Shiren. This page is based on the NDS version of the page. Monster names and items need to be corrected to the SFC fan-patch names for the convenience of SFC players. Korra Royal (talk) 07:00, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
