Instead, what will prevent you from getting character clears, HCGs and mini-events is triggering certain actions that will cause the story to progress, thus losing the opportunity to complete certain sub-quests.
The expiry conditions are ordered by the earliest they can appear, but some are not always going to be the first thing you'll likely run into, because you're likely not going to want to grind levels before you do anything else in the game... (don't grind... you don't need to in this game!!!!)
Right at the beginning, after Keith explains that you're on a quest to find a cute red head, Hikari, who has disappeared in Leazas, there's a short tutorial that will guide you through some easy enemies and let you pick up some generic consumable items.
Soon, you'll arrive in Leazas town and Rance will send Sill to gather information by infiltrating Hikari's school for rich kids as a scholarship student. Too late he realizes that she has all their money (and later on, that even as a scholarship student, it coincidentally costs exactly what she took with her).
It is highly recommended you use this money to buy 2 red items from Millie before heading to the field. It's more efficient to go for 2 offensive items instead of a shield here because of the shields' longer cooldown times. If you don't want to trust me on this:
Now, you are ready to head back to the Leazas field and do your first (non-tutorial) battles! Watch out, the further you go in Leazas field, the higher the difficulty will climb. But don't worry too much since:
If you meet her twice (it was 3 times for me), you can then find Kanami in the park at night. You will get a small mini-event (no HCG) and lose all your gold (so spend it first, or skip the event if you don't care, it won't affect anything later on).
If you don't defeat Louis in the Leazas field road (リーザス領辺境の街道) before entering the thieves' hideout, he will disappear and you will no longer get his mini-events later in the game, in the colosseum and casino.
You can then get the pie as a drop reward from defeating a "Tricorn" in the Leazas field. Bring it back to Willis and hand it to her to get her HCG. You might be able to get another Pie if you use it in battle, but better to be safe and just keep it for Willis.
Enter the thieves's hideout during the morning or night, and you will fight an extra mini-boss, the lookout thieves. Go at noon to skip this fight when they're out to lunch. You won't be able to win the fight at level 9 with your starting gear, so if you want to fight them you will need to level up in the fields first.
After your first conversation with her, if you appear at exactly 7pm, you will trigger a mini-event where she is worried about something. You can then buy the I.Reader for 980g at the information broker I.NET and use it on Pulptenks.
You can use other consumables to do harassment attacks, so this isn't a big deal if you lose it. However, Reichardt's Snake is a red chip and there's no expiry on returning it to Pulptenks, so it makes sense to keep it around and delay Pulptenk's final HCG (or reload after seeing it).
Important: I don't actually suggest rushing this, take your time, because once you see Millie's mini-event she will disappear and you'll have a time limit of 3 days to save her from a difficult boss-monster.
After Millie disappears, you only have 3 days to find her. Additionally, if Patty has also disappeared, you can't do the events to find her until Patty reappears, so make sure these two disappearances don't overlap.
Miki's events are very dangerous. If you don't yet have > 444HP, go do other events and come back later. However, it's advantageous to do her events first, because you'll get a stat upgrade prize at the end.
After you complete her HCG you no longer need the Castle Passage Token to enter the castle, so you can throw it away. (you don't really need it after using it one time, if you get to the castle once you can go anytime without pass, with special event where Rance tricks Menad a little)
Note that if you go back to the Neglected Grave after the boss fight, you will have to fight the Elf Zombie 4 more times in a row, without being allowed to return to the dungeon screen or escape back to town. She gets more hp each time you defeat her. She is classified as a gal monster, so if you want her HCG, use harassment attacks to defeat her(You have to do it every time she revives as well).
To make it through the castle dungeon, it's a good idea, but not strictly necessary, to get the "Crime boots (クライムブーツ)" from Patty's store. They allow you to pass through the traps without getting booted out. They will appear in Patty's inventory after you win the first fight in the Colosseum. It is possible to get through the dungeon without those boots if you carefully follow the map.
Note that you can return to Jericho in the prison at any time to buy a few items from her. Talk and look at her a few times, and you'll get an extra option to talk about confiscated goods, which you can buy one at a time for 500g each. The goods themselves include a tension shelf, if you didn't get it in the special D chest near the end of Leazas Outskirts (labeled D1 on the map).
Another thing to pay attention to is that after defeating Hazuki in the casino and Louis in the colosseum, you can return to the casino and look around (客を見る) x2 to find Louis. You then have the option of giving him the 10g he asks for (using the "touch" option).
You must be between the 6th and 8th place in the colosseum rankings to get Menad's mini-event. While you're between 6th and 8th place, enter the castle between 2-4pm and you will trigger the picnic scene where Kanami worries Menad is getting tricked by some brute. Menad is so innocent...
Depending on whether you use Purslip when fighting Yulang, you will get two different HCGs (very similar ones), so you should save beforehand and defeat her without Purslip first, then reload and use the Purslip to get the second Yulan HCG (and give you the opportunity to get Nami's HCG later).
If you are going for all of Yulang's HCGs, just remember that to get Nami's HCG you'll need to have used Purslip against her. Recommended to do Yulang's non-Purslip battle first, then reloading and using Purslip before continuing.
When you start exploring the haunted mansion, you will be stuck on the first floor. You will not be able to go up (barrels will keep rolling towards you) and you will not be able to go down either because it's locked.
Go to the the first room 3 times and you will get the "Khien shield (妃円の盾)", a powerful chip. While you're at it, try to get the "Tiger Paw (タイガーパー)" which is a fairly nice weapon that can drop from a B chest that spawns randomly in multiple locations on the 2nd floor. If you don't find a chest on the 2nd floor, leave, wait a day, then come back until a chest spawns. Then cycle through the whole floor hitting the chest every time through, trying to avoid traps and monsters where possible.
This is a secret location hidden in the Leazas Field. The entrance is hidden as normal fields card in the center lane, after rank A+ lynxes starts appearing. A blue card inside warns you that you cannot choose to hurry back to town inside the lair and you must exit by taking the exit card to the right of the blue card. The dungeon has several special characteristics :
With Sill and the Super Metabolism skill, you should be able to heal most of the damage you take from the Uruncels on the way to the boss, as long as you make sure to kill all the uruncels in 1-2 turns. 2x super swords will kill most of the Uruncels in one turn, and the 2222 hp Uruncels can be killed with 1 buster sword + 1 super sword. Green Uruncels can be used to lower cooldown by 2 turns because they do no damage on turn 2.
Hi, new member here. Been searching around forums and on the net for some extra notes and advice on Sengoku Rance. I would like to share some notes and cheats related to better enjoy the game without any limitations and just trying to break the game.
This is a manageable walkthrough guide by nalmar but with some tweaks from Spoiler AL or Cheat Engine, you'll run the turns better and maybe hasten the turns. Full CG accomplishment guides and character clears. Credits to nalmar!
Basically we can download Spoiler AL from various sites but this one gives a simple guide on how to start on it instead of guessing and pressing everything.
Note: Currently tested on [Fuwanovel] version. Mangagamer version is not tested.
Note: Use Microsoft Applocale to execute Spoiler AL (without it, Spoiler AL will spit out basic unicode) : -applocale.software.informer.com/1.3/
Translations from someone (sorry I don't recall where I got it).
You can check their forums on how to use. Its very easy and fast to learn. Original made by habeeb, reposted on
Note: habeeb's version works on [Fuwanowel] version. Not tested on Mangagamer version.
Since I've tested it on [Fuwanovel] version instead of Mangagamer version, maybe someone could update here for future notes and advice.
PS: I'll help as much as I can for Spoiler AL since I've tested out some of the functions. Some are not applicable and the game could revert to their original value/figures when ending turn. CE is mostly self-explanatory since it could be useful for items especially and timed battles.
As for Nalmar guide it's not possible to follow it step by step seeing that the event is randomized, although of course it's still useful to a degree in that you may need some help on some situation. Alicesoft's guide is pretty comprehensive, so I had nothing to add here.
I never use cheat in any gameplay VN here, and yeah I already beat this once back when Mangagamer still not translate this (Duh). As for my tips, you should beat Ashikaga, Uesugi, Akashi, and Houjou in that order if you want some easier time. As to avoid Takeda beat Houjou and Uesugi (And therefore screwed the gourd order), declare war to both of them (Not Takeda obviously). Of course you shouldn't beat Houjou after Akashi fall, but instead I would say that you should beat Masamune after Akashi (Don't forget to recruit Kazemaru and clear his event). Note that by the time you finished Houjou, you should be ready for the war against the fiend. Lastly if you wonder on what bonus that you should take in character events, then you should take 'Level +2' bonus because level is REALLY matter for the final boss and that Alicesoft here didn't give level up each time after commander battle. At least they give us level each time you clear dungeon so exploit it as much as possible, and KEEP using level up item that you get each time you free five prisoners to Rance, and only Rance.
