PDP Shard of Dreams Guide Part 17: Moriya Shrine

Part 16 can be found here.

When you're ready to continue to the top of Youkai Mountain, exit the Tengu Village.

Once at the other side of the "cave," head left, and then up the steps next to Momiji. Keep going left. Keep going along. A female Kappa will fight you near a patch of grass with two level 26 Nitori and a level 26 Wakasagi. This Kappa is a hacker apparently, since one of her Nitoris is a Power Nitori despite that fact that you can't Style Change until level 30. Stupid hacker kappas.



Continue up the steps near hacker kappa. Don't go up the next set of steps yet though, instead, interact with the rock near it to obtain an Oath Thread. Now head up the steps. A Tengu will fight you with a level 28 Hatate. Keep moving up. Once you see another Tengu (they won't fight you), head right. A woman will fight you with a level 26 Iku, level 26 Hatate, and a level 26 Chen.

Head up when you can and pick up the Yin Yang Orb in the grass containing a Moriya Shinshu. Continue along. A girl will fight you with a level 28 Kisume. Cross the bridge to get to a screen change.

In this next area, the grass contains Momiji, Hatate, Aya, and Tenshi (rare), but I recommend coming back here in a couple minutes because you should preserve your HP/moves for the time being. You can heal soon. and then come back.

Head all the way up the steps and you'll be stopped by Sanae. She'll fight you with a level 38 ReimuD, level 40 SanaeS, and a level 38 MarisaS. Upon defeating her, she'll give you the Superhuman Glove, which means you can now smash rocks that are in your way! Kanako will head up to her Shrine, but ignore her for now. Instead, head to the outbuilding to the right. In here is a room containing a bed to heal your Puppets in, and an Akyuu Box.
Also in the outbuilding (but not in the healing room) there is two pots. The upper pot contains a Moriya Shinshu.

Now's a great time to head back down the steps and hunt down a Tenshi if you need to. Or grind a bit if that level 40 SanaeS scared you. Oh, and prepare for level spike.

When you're ready, heal up and talk to Kanako. She'll fight you with a level 43 SanaeP, a level 45 SuwakoS, and a level 48 KanakoP. If you're well-leveled that this fight shouldn't be too too bad, but it is really bad if you're not prepared. If you don't feel like you can do this fight right now, you can always come back later. Defeat her as soon as you can though, because the reward is worth it.
Defeating Kanako grants you the Combat Handbook item. Give this held item to a Puppet and that Puppet will level up faster! Very, very nice! Oh, and for ease of finding it in your inventory, it is in the Hold 2 tab, and the Japanese is this: 戦闘の教範

Heal up and head on over to the left of the Shrine and keep going until you reach the lake. The grass here contains Hatate, Aya, Seiran, Ringo, Sanae (rare-ish), Kanako (rare), and Suwako (very rare)

Cross the lake, going up and to the right. Ignore the little mini shrine in the center, and just go to the far side of the lake. Up and to the right, remember. Once on land, go up through the grass. Keep heading up, and go up the steps to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing a Massage Charm. Head back down the steps, and then go to the right.

Head into the new area to find Seiran wandering around to your right. She will fight you with a level 32 GyokutoS, level 32 RingoP, and a level 34 SeiranS. Up past her you'll see two boxes, both of which contain Rice Dumplings. Head left and enter the house. The two boxes in the top right corner both contains more Rice Dumplings. The right side of the cabinet in the top left of the house contains an Oath Thread.

Exit the house, and head up and to the left. Ringo will fight you up here with a level 32 GyokutoP, level 34 RingoD, and a level 32 SeiranD. Around the back of the house, all the boxes to the right contain Rice Dumplings. Head into the next house to the right.

In this house, there's a lot of items. The barrel in the bottom left corner contains a Prismatic Candy. The Yin Yang Orb contains Skill Card 92.  The barrel to the far right contains a Moriya Shinshu. The left side of the cabinet in the top right corner contains a Rice Dumpling. And all the boxes on the left side contain Rice Dumplings.

Exit the house and head up. The boxes to the right of the house all contain Rice Dumplings. And that's really all there is to do here, so head back out to the lake.

Head down from the steps and then all the way to the left. Cross the water and head down a bit. Ignore the first patch of land and go to the next one. Go through the grass here and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing an Almighty SpStone. Go back to the water and head down to the next bit of land, then keep going down the little river thing. Go down the first waterfall. Notice the grass behind some trees to your left. Keep going down the river until you get to where you can access to the grass.

Head up through the grass and pick up the Yin Yang Orb that contains a Pinpoint Charm. Head back down the grass and into the river, then go down the next waterfall, and the next one. Then the next one. Immediately turn right and get to the land (do not go down any waterfalls) and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Wooden Sword (increases PP earned in battle).
Now head down a waterfall (pick one, they all go to the same place), and then down the next one and go onto the land to the right. This brings you back to the stairs of Moriya Shrine. Feel free to head back up to the Akyuu Box to heal and check your new Puppets, and then meet me back down here to continue to part 18!

  1. Hey so uh...it's funny you made that earlier post about how there were more items hidden in innocuous things, because...

    I dunno if it's an item, but I did receive a prompt when checking this section of the new area where Seiran and Ringo were.
