A new content update just landed for Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island on the Switch. Once it’s installed, players can enjoy new features, playstyles and challenges, all of which provide opportunities to explore new combat options and strategies. Highlighted additions include Sacred Tree Dungeons, Kokatsu Shiren and Dojo Challenge mode.
Sacred Tree Dungeons represent the biggest addition in this update for Shiren the Wanderer, allowing players to replay portions of the game they’ve already cleared in different trial modes for extra challenge. These include:
There’s also a hidden sixth mode that can be unlocked.
Players can use any playable character they want in Sacred Tree Dungeons, including Kokatsu Shiren.
While taking on a Sacred Tree Dungeon, players have the option of playing as Kokatsu Shiren, a form that is only available while in the Cavern of Suiryu dungeon in the main game. While using this form, players cannot equip anything, but gain access to new special attacks that can be unleashed in exchange for expending Fullness.
A new Dojo Challenge mode has also been added to the Monster Dojo, giving players a series of mini-stages to take on which they can more thoroughly learn the characteristics of the featured monsters. This new mode will become available upon clearing the main game and after the Monster Dojo becomes available.
Aside from these additions, players can also enjoy a warehouse that’s now able to hold up to 960 items instead of just 180. Various balances and other adjustments have also been applied, but this won’t be the last of them. A second update will likely be coming this summer, bringing even more content and adjustments for fans to enjoy.
Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is now available on Nintendo Switch.
