The Chest of Cheer sounds very much like a mechanical music box. So much so that I'm a bit surprised Square Enix didn't make a music box version as part of the game's collector's edition.

Well... hello there! Let me get a descendant of Erdrick... brb!

I do have a Dragon Shield and some staves but I don't know how bad this guy is. I suspect very.

Look, Torneko, not even Link went off on his very first adventure without a sword. Where have you been that you haven't seen all the memes?

Finally equipped at least and heading to level 3!

Well hello there! I kept a special copy wand just in case I found you!

I'm not one for achievement hunting for the sake of it but if something is a challenge / not tedious I'll give it a shake. Noticed with Torneko here that getting to Floor 99 is one such achievement. I'll give it a go!

There we go! Kinda anticlimactic but I got it. The scroll basically says "Congratulations you've fully mastered the mystery dungeon!"

Unfortunately that run came to a non-glorious end as I was unable to escape this nasty fellow. Ah well...

One Red-Hot Herb later and the green dragon is no more but the staircase to get out? Yeah that's mimic.

Screw you, mystery dungeon!

I got rather lucky with stair placement. Do I have a chance to escape? Will find out after a lunch break for both Torneko and me!

We're resuming our journey through #TornekoMystery dungeon, major variety. On floor 23 and cursing those darn Pocus Poppets who like to drain HP/Strength.

That ring that zooms is a Zoom ring (shocking!) & another useless one is a Cock-a-Doodle-Doo. Wakes monsters up. Not sure that has a great use.

I'm not sure there's any consistency across runs. I've seen Peep scrolls show up as Lizard, Mouse and Sheep thus far.

On the other hand I DID find a Liquid Metal Sword just lying about on Floor 4 and it's not cursed or anything!

The secret treasure that was in the cave was the Chest of Cheer! Torneko opened it! Music filled the air! Everyone is happy! And we're apparently opening yet another shop!

With some more annoying encounters with Pocus Poppets and much running, Torneko is climbing as fast as possible!

It does help a lot that you don't eat on the way up.

Time for another attempt and found out something useful! Bread scrolls can be used to turn even equipped cursed items into bread! Don't have to wait and hope for a Sheen scroll.

Here we are! Now... what am I supposed to find?

I died because I ate a gobsmacking herb by accident and then couldn't eat anything else. Super bad timing on fullness.

I think that this Mega Mystery Dungeon requires experience but a LOT of luck. You can guess what certain things do but there's a lot more to guess now too!

The packed lunch (aka large loaf) is actually useful here. No more feeling bad about pawning Tessie's lunch off at the local shop!

Also the "Straight-Talking Man" is the laziest NPC ever.

I'm making notes but I'm not sure if the herb colours, ring gems, and scroll animal labels are consistent across runs. It seems like they should be for having some sense of control over your run but I don't know yet.

It really rather sucks having to eat every herb to identify them.

There are a few weapons and a shield I've never had! Maybe in the post game dungeon...

And the king is hanging out back behind the shop in front of the tree cause of course he is.

Small tip: If you have to idle and heal on dangerous floors do so on a stair tile if possible. You can always leave that way if a monster you don't want to deal with comes barreling towards you.

The Mega Mystery Dungeon of the post game doesn't mess around. First they take your stuff your brought in. Then they give you herbs by colour so you have to find out what each one does on your own.

Hanker Ring - causes you to become hungry more quickly.

C'mon Torneko. You aren't Samus.

I'm in pretty rough shape stats and resource wise (1/3 strength... ugh...) but I'm back onto the very easy floors so maybe if the dungeon plays nice and doesn't put a big surprise in my way I might just make it!

Onto the final level of the tutorial dungeon. Things I've learned.

Sleep sucks.
Bang scrolls save the day.
Lump Shamans teleport you randomly.
Little demons steal your stuff and warp away but you can get it back if you find them.

Somehow still going on floor 20 despite darn Mud Manequin's stealing my levels. I have an unidentified strength ring equipped which is helpful. Not a lot else though besides a ton of bread. 😂

After midnight though so to be continued...
