Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is the latest and quite possibly greatest Mystery Dungeon game. I touch more upon this in our Review of the game. However, while Shiren is a great game it does have an edge that it’s not afraid to cut prospective players with. Knowledge is power and experience is key, so be sure to spend plenty of time gaining both! Rise and rise again with our Shiren the Wanderer 6 Guide by your side!
The game is available on the Nintendo Switch and is available on the eshop and physically from retailers! Take a look at the official site for the game for more information!
Shiren the Wanderer 6 Guide – General Tips
Don’t be afraid of failure! You may have to start over upon incapacitation, but many new things are unlocked by making multiple attempts and progressing further within the dungeons. Your experimentation and willpower will gain you immeasurable knowledge and practice. Remember: rise and rise again!
Take your time! This game is turn-based in a sense, as everything moves and happens in response to YOUR actions. If you’re in a tight situation, really mull over your options and brainstorm a proper plan. Read item and monster descriptions, experiment with your gear, strategically stall, flee for safety, or even take a loss if necessary. Progress is progress!
