Shiren 1 DS talk:Ravine of the Dead

Ravine of the Dead (Pekeji/Bungee Dungeon)

• Location: Janus Valley (Between the dungeons on the path to Cryptic Rock Valley.)
• Floors: 50F
• Requirement:Complete the Bungee Jumping side quest, clear the main adventure and unlock all other bonus dungeons. Then visit Canyon Hamlet and you'll get a message. Go on an adventure and return to Canyon Hamlet and you'll get a second message, after which the dungeon unlocks.

[Uber_Moogle: Make sure to talk to the innkeeper when you return to Canyon Hamlet. I did not get messages until I did so...]

• Rules:Everything is kept upon entry. Companions allowed. Only one item each floor (exceptions are monster houses and those special 3 items islands). Items on floor including those on monster houses are about 75% gitans
• Gimmick:High level enemies, fake stairs, more frequent monster houses, unique enemies and items.
• Goal:Save Pekeji. He appears randomly starting from 25F.
• Boss:None. If you use the stairs on 50F you'll be on another 50F. Can be repeated infinite times. To actually exit the dungeon there is a really easy to see multicolored special second exit on every floor starting floor 25 called the Transport Pattern. Using that exit will finish the adventure and take you back to Canyon Hamlet.
• Reward:Pekeji becomes available to recruit again. [Pekeji powers up? Seriously needs confirmation.]
• Strategies: Watch out for stair traps and monster houses. Since swiping over a Stairway Trap does not reveal it, you have to use alternate methods: 1. Carry a big Staff of Postpone and swing them at a monster upon entering the floor, 2. Equip and unequip a Trap Armband will reveal fake stairs even in unexplored rooms, 3. Eat an Herb of Sight, or 4. Transform into a monster and revert back on the stairs to check. Non-rotten Riceballs are rare in this dungeon, so having a sword with the Bufu mod is recommended to prevent starvation. [Note from LawofKato: I thought the stair traps were just in the monster houses, but they are on about every floor. Be prepared. I wasn't. hehe]
• Unique Items: It should be mentioned that the Gaze Shield, Prism Shield and Homing Blade can be found as random drops or on the floor in this dungeon. [However, I've only found them after 45F. I'm also pretty sure these items do not appear in the early floors of the Final Puzzle.] [I found my first on 43F I think. I alsohaven't found any of those three doing the early Final Puzzle strategy] [Blue_Slime: I found a Homing Blade on 42F, but the others I could only find on higher floors][Jammingway: I found a Gaze Shield on 41F, and had a monster house on 40F with no equipment, so I suspect 41F might be the earliest you can find them]
