Aksys Challenge is a bonus dungeon in Shiren 5 focusing on the better part of valor. Virtually every monster can "OHKO" (one-hit knock out) you, so you must run away and try to find the stairs. You can't take items or allies into the dungeon, nor can you request rescues, but you can keep the items you have on hand if you win. The dungeon is daytime only and the initial goal floor is 10F. After first victory, the goal floor becomes 99F and stays there permanently.

Gaining Access

You can access this bonus dungeon from the Dungeon Center in Nekomaneki Village. Access is not restricted; you can play as soon as you can reach the Dungeon Center.

Unique Features

This bonus dungeon uses a small subset of the capabilities of the game to create a radically different experience:

• Virtually every monster, even on 1F, can kill you in a single shot (aka OHKO you)
• The item distribution is so small that you can itemize it pretty easily. These are all the items I have ever seen in this dungeon (so far):
  • No swords, shields, or new items
  • I also haven't yet seen talismans, onigiri, peaches, torches, stones, arrows, etc. -- nothing except what's listed below
  • Bracelets: Scout Bracelet, Can. Arm Bracelet
  • Scrolls: Navigation Scroll
  • Grasses: Perception Grass, Warp Grass
  • Staves: Swap Staff, Pinning Staff, Knockback Staff, Paralysis Staff
  • Pots: Hide Pot
• Shiren starts with 3 Hide Pots of various capacities in his inventory
• All items are pre-identified for you
• It's possible that there are more pre-placed items than usual (needs more testing).
  • There are certainly more pre-placed items here than in sparse bonus dungeons.
• There are apparently no shops and no other NPCs (needs more testing)
• There are apparently no monster houses (needs more testing)
• The rooms may have water / ponds in them more commonly than in other places (needs more testing)
• The dungeon is daytime only
