About Plus Pack Season Pass Paid DLC Part 2
1. Asuka appears as a playable character
In the Sacred Tree mode, you'll be able to select Asuka as a new playable character. Asuka has high attack power and a higher chance of landing critical hits, but she has low defense and HP, allowing for thrilling battles. Like Shiren, she can also equip gear.
Asuka
She is a wandering swordswoman who is old friends with Shiren and Koppa.
She has come to Serpentcoil Island for a specific reason and is reunited with them.
*Asuka can be used in the Sacred Tree mode only after unlocking Sacred Tree mode, and progressing through certain events.
2. Five New Dungeons
*The new dungeons become playable following the completion of Serpentcoil Island and progressing through the story.
Training Path of Deadly Strikes
A dungeon where both you and the monsters have a maximum HP of 1, meaning defeat comes with a single hit. You don't gain experience from defeating enemies. It's crucial to adopt strategies that allow for preemptive strikes.
Battleground of the Rivals
The bosses Jakaku, Madara, Embodiment of Batsu and Embodiment of Suiryu each await on the final 4 floors of this dungeon.
Timeworn Cave
A traditional dungeon featuring a wide variety of elements, but features from this game such as the Sacred gear and Wishing Shrines are not included to offer a more classic feel.
Floral Garden
A dungeon where the effects of incense occur randomly every certain number of turns.
Soul of Serpentcoil Island
Surpasses the game's most difficult dungeon, Heart of Serpentcoil Island.
Plus Pack MSRP: $14.99 (includes both Part 1 and Part 2; Part 1 and Part 2 cannot be purchased individually)
*Main game is required to play the Plus Pack season pass paid DLC.
Fourth Free Content Update Introduces New Features Available Now
1. Three New Dungeons Added
*These free dungeons can be played after clearing Serpentcoil Island and progressing through the story.
Training Path of Hiding
A dungeon where most of the items you can obtain are Hiding Pots. You won't gain experience from defeating enemies; instead, you progress by either hiding in the pots to avoid danger or trapping monsters inside them.
Cliff of Condensing
A high-difficulty dungeon. Although it only has 25 floors, the monsters become significantly stronger as you progress, making it a tough challenge.
Wild Monster Path
A dungeon with many monsters right from the start and high respawn rates.
2. New Live Display Type Added
A third type of Live Display has been introduced. This new type is similar to Type 1 but omits the price display from the item list, offering a larger area for gameplay.

About Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island
After receiving a vision of a mysterious girl held captive by a terrible monster, Shiren and Koppa make their way to Serpentcoil Island—a distant isle rumored to be the lost stronghold of treasure-hoarding pirates.
To brave the many dangers that await them, Shiren and Koppa must traverse complex dungeons filled with hostile monsters, hidden traps, and useful items. All the gear and experience Shiren accumulates will be lost if he collapses during exploration, so beware of rushing in unprepared! Rescue the mysterious girl and uncover the mystery that clouds Serpentcoil Island.
The release for Nintendo Switch marked the series' latest mainline entry to come to the West since Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate was released on PlayStation®Vita in 2016 and then on Nintendo Switch in 2020. While preserving the traditional gameplay, this installment introduces new elements and 3D graphics to create a fresh and exciting adventure.
About the Shiren the Wanderer Series
Shiren the Wanderer series of roguelike RPG games began with the 1995 release of Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for the Super Famicom in Japan. Players venture into a "Mystery Dungeon" that changes each time they enter. To succeed, they need to rely on their wits, experience, and creative thinking to overcome monsters, avoid perilous traps, and conquer the dungeon. Players who run out of energy during their journey will lose all of their possessions including items, money, and gear, and must start again at level one. Players will experience a thrilling and tense adventure with unexpected events and risks that cannot be redone.
