Mod Others Completed Dai Sengoku Rance [Fan Translation][2025-08-29]

About the Broken Shell, how exactly does it work? It says it gives 50% more starting points, but that's all.
Does it refer to the endgame score or the field advantage? How is it activated? Do I have to keep Arlcoate from Part 1, fuse her as the first thing I do and then having the shell increases the starting points?

No clue what it does exactly, it DOES NOT affect scoring points, the most i can interpret and understand from the japanese wiki is that its suppose to make stat boosts stronger. I can basically only assume it makes stuff like tactician buffs, stat luck passives and other things raise stats even higher during battle.

is there any way to get sill's level up event? The jap wiki says she doesn't have an event. This kind of makes her an useless character..
also for fiend lei - where can you find his event (after recruuiting him)

also also..how do you beat the challenge "break the barrier of time"?

EDIT: also I think battle boogie (patton's skill) is bugged. The description says it should remove 1 skill point from the enemy, but it only does damage and take away all of pattons skill

Hmm... I got the rare skill Gal Monster Magnet, which quadruples the appearance of Lucky Can-Cans (5 level ups to on-field party in dungeon), but it's surprisingly mediocre, since the game doesn't register the Lucky level-ups as proper level ups, only increasing your level but not your HP. The levels should still help, since damage dealt/taken is modified by level difference, but they don't increase your bulk at all which is sad.

Edit: Apparently you'll get the HP you were supposed to get if you get a scripted level up or use a Happiness Pokkurr to level up, we are so back.

How does this work? The monster girls show up in dungeons only? What do I do with them lol

 

[henaron]

Thank you very much for the great translation and addition to the mod!

Found a bug - Patton's Battle Boogie skill does not remove 1 action point from the enemy, as it says in the description.

Break Barrier of Time challenge isn't too bad,
Troop Battle is kinda annoying since its 5 battles against insanely stacked enemies, best i can say is bring all the cheese strats you can think of, Rick and Kenshin (Combine Minerva from part 1 for a 3rd action drainer) + Ex and Urza to remove all action points from the enemies. Reclassing Natori into a fast class like ninja or cavalry with Budhha or Magic Minister item to miko storm 2 at round start. All Barrier users with El and Athena v2.0 to refresh their uses to keep team alive. Strong AOE users help a lot so Parsley, Omachi, La Saizel and La Hawzel at around 5-9k+ troop count. Unlocks Tiny Reach which makes all physical attacks guarantee commander captures even ignoring capture limit allowing for 6 man captures which can very easily cripple faction in like 2 blitz raids.

Solo Battle is much easier to setup for, just get Rance to Archfiend 12 (make sure he levels up after his job change or the stats wont update) and he should have the stats to easily kill everyone without trying. Unlocks the Uruncel Blade which makes characters double attack in solo battles.

I managed to beat the solo battle version of break barrier of time challenge, with my lv 700+ rance (archfield 11, didn't have the final fiend). I used barriers a lot to avoid attacks, there is an apostle (the one with black destruction beam) that can do barrier and has high enough hp (and defence) to survive multiple hits.
Then I got my ass kicked in "break barrier of time challenge 2".
I didn't know about tiny reach, that sounds amazing. Much better than the solo battle thingy. I managed to complete the first run of part 2. I'll do a second run sometime, now that zeth is unlocked.

This game is so awesome, wish more people (and resources) were put into such mods. I just hope someday the japanese company doesnt come down on the mod makers and sue the project, as often happens...

Also wish there was a section on the english wiki with tips and tricks for this mod. Would be nice if some experienced people could write it

 

[Loligeddon]

sue the project

The original mod was approved by Alicesoft, so that's not gonna happen anytime soon.
Can't say that much about our translation/content project, however. Hopefully this doesn't happen.

battle boogie

Should be fixed in the next patch

 

[CogTheNito18]

tips and tricks for this mod.

Yeah it would help that the english wiki had some info for this mod especially since the JP wiki has lots of info and cool strats.
Like giving Bezeleye Death by Poison (Mouri Bonus), Provence and Ishimaru's Book from Barres to make her do like 110% Current HP in poison damage completely trivializing fights and making using Parsley an afterthought (can even make it more efficient by reclassing into ninja and max speed).
Or Reclassing Am into a footsoldier to use her amazing S Defense to facetank all your life's problems.

 

[Lewdmiral]

How do I recruit Rolex? Do I have to wait for him to get into a different faction, Takeda-style? Because neither him nor Aristoles have any explanations in the wiki.
And speaking of explanations, any idea on how to clear Warg?

Unrelated, a trick I've been managing for mages is to turn them into a cheaper kind of unit, like footsoldiers or warriors, increasing their numbers like that and then turning them back to mages. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well for Gandhi and Kabachahn, since their basic attack is replaced.

 

[Loligeddon]

Rolex

Let the Monster Army take over Lang Bau (if you have not installed the hotfix patch, this will only happen if you got the Helman ending which recruits Sheila).

Warg

At one point you will need to have Rance combined with Kayblis to trigger her last event. The rest is typical talk at 7 IIRC

 

[Iceborg28]

I just got to part 2 and got introduced to the unit fusion, but unless I missed something how do I access it? I did it once at a beginning of turn event but now I dont know how to do it now.

 

[Loligeddon]

unit fusion

There are two ways to unlock it:
One is by force kidnapping Maria, which can happen after turn 2 or 3 of Part 2, depending on when the scene of her joining the Free Cities happens.

Another is when El introduces the player to Unit Combination after 5 turns of Part 2 if she's in the army.

 

[malemailman]

Is there an option to play through this Kill the Monkey style so I can skip the absolutely miserable Xavier/Monster Army content or will I have to suffer through if I don't wanna skip straight to Part 2? (and if you can do it KTM, will I have to replay the True route first?)

 

[HentaiBaka]

Has anyone been able to beat Archfiend Buton?

She's just...unreal

 

[Loligeddon]

Kill the Monkey
True route first

Yes, KTM is playable.
When you are prompted to start the game from a Second Game Run, press Yes, then as usual get the Can Kill Touchikirou option from the NG+ bonuses.

Archfiend Buton

Playtested and proven to be possible with Rance's level above 900, possibly lower

Hopefully I can find the power to force myself to play through the miserable Xavier content...

Appreciate you answering my and everybody else's questions so often and quickly!

Has anyone been able to beat Archfiend Buton?

Check the changelog.
Bezeleye's new passive skill doesn't stack with Bezeleye's Punch but adds instead to her Fiend Slash in solo battles.
The deeper dungeons can now have significantly more enemies.

After failing repeatedly with about 4000 bonus damage and not realizing that either Rance or Kentarou have to be present in the fight, I continued slow-crawling through dungeons and then within a dozen tries I got lucky and beat Buton with around 4700 Bonus damage and Uruncel blade.

My crew was far from optimal:
- Rance was Archfiend 10 with level 1000, but might as well have been at level 1 with 10 HP; he gets one-shot either way and does next to no damage...
- Bezeleye had only five action fans
- Five barrier-casters: Omachi, Souun Houjou, Kisara, Gandhi and Fiend Hornet who was the only one able to survive attacks, even the preparation one which didn't occur during the successful attempt
- Three action restorers: El Mofus, Oily Girl Dousan and Persuasive Monk
- Four ninjas and all four Takeda dudes. A ninja was helpful in retreating and thus switching around commanders; after 10 tries an action restorer came in and enabled the final blow.
- All important characters for the fight had their speed maxed-out


Going at a snail's pace through dungeons and killing enemies only with Bezeleye with Uruncel blade is mind-numbingly dull, but Buton is easily turned into mincemeat with 9999 bonus and overall 20000 damage output.

Has anyone been able to beat Archfiend Buton?

She's just...unreal

I did it with a Rance at about level 1800 Archfiend 12. After getting my ass kicked the first run through I did a second where every action I took was in service of raising level. Still took a bit of RNG luck during the fight. I kept getting a shield up and an action point restored just in time so Rance was able to keep hitting with his big attack until she went down.

 

[pramit]

I think there might be a translation issue with the skill "ace of aces"


When you look at the jap wiki, it says that the damage double only works in individual battles. So not army battles?
edit: I did a rough test with this skill in army battles, it seems damage isn't really that much different before and after this skill
