In this episode, we explore the oh-so-lovely Bamboo Forest of the Lost. This time around though, it's not as annoying and it's a lot shorter! The overhaul was done by Narise, and for that I am glad. No sign puzzles, no instant death traps, and no forest maze. Overall it's a much needed upgrade. Oh, and there's a game over because I forgot to change the Poison Smoke Curtain. Oops!


Enemies:

Tewi?: Not a particularly tough enemy by any means, but it is an introduction to a boss later on. Pretty much one and the same.

Shanghai: Expect to see this particular enemy a lot throughout the game, and only with upgraded stats. Heavily physically resistant and immune to magic for the most part, and will Self-Destruct at 50% or less HP like a Kedama will. Defeating them though can sometimes yield nice rewards however...

Bamboo: Nothing special about these guys, as they're rare enough to show up really, and they're easily taken care of by Royal Flares and Diamond Blizzards.

Yin-Yang Orb: Highly physically resistant enemies and absorbs Shadow/Holy. They're kinda hard to break through, but Earth does just fine from recollection. They're kinda tough to kill though.

Senior Kedama: The Notorious Monster for the area. They're highly resistant like the normal Kedamas, and also come with stronger moves. They usually show up in pairs.


Bosses:

Reisen Udongein Inaba: Reisen likes to focus mostly on status skills while doing high damage with them, or doing nonsense like Life Elixir which does nothing for her since stat buffs suck in this game. Mind Explosion, Poison Smoke Curtain and Lunatic Red Eyes are the prime attacks to watch out for!

Tewi: Same as the regular Tewi? enemies. Nothing really spectacular about her at all.
