PDP Shard of Dreams Guide Part 18: Youkai Mountain Descent

Part 17 can be found here.

So, beginning at the steps to Moriya Shrine, head down to the screen change, and then right. Smash one of the rocks at the end and keep going right. Eventually a Tengu will fight you with two level 28 Momijis. Past her is some grass. Kasen can be captured in this grass, I suspect she could also have been caught in the grass before smashing the rock, but I can't confirm that as I didn't find her there. She was there in the base game though, so it's a good assumption.

Anyway, head down from the grass. A woman will fight you with three level 27 Mystias. Further down is a girl who will fight you with three level 27 Yamames.
Keep going forward (it's linear) until you get to a cave opening. The Yin Yang Orb right nearby contains a Chirei Bun. The Tengu right nearby will fight you with a level 28 Momiji and a level 28 Aya.

Head into the cave when you're ready (you can head back up and heal first if you like).

In the cave, you can capture Momiji, Yamame, Nitori, Hina, and Sara.

Go along the path and fight the female Kappa with a level 27 Kogasa, level 27 Komachi, and a level 27 Nitori. Up past her is an area where you can go left or right. Go right first, and fight the Tengu up there with a level 28 Kanako and a level 28 Suwako. Up past the Tengu is a Yin Yang Orb containing a Moriya Shinshu. Head back down and turn left this time.

Go down when you can and then up the nearby steps (the woman nearby won't fight you) and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Paste of the Fog. Go back down the steps, and then go up. Fight the Ghost up there with a level 29 Youmu. Up past him is a ladder, so head down that.

Once down the ladder, go down and fight the Tengu with a level 28 Aya and a level 28 Hatate. Head down past him to some steps. Ignore the steps for now and go right to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing an Art of Combat. Now go back and head up the steps. There's an Evil Spirit up here that will fight you with a level 29 Tojiko. Once at the other side, head right and up, past the girl (she won't fight you). Up here and to the left is a Yin Yang Orb containing a Bronze Mirror. Head back down to the girl and head down.

Fight the Ghost with a level 29 Kana. Go left and up past him, ignoring the stairs. Head down and fight the Evil Spirit with a level 29 Nue. Down past the spirit is a Yin Yang Orb containing an Onyx Hairpin (boosts Sound-type attacks). Head back to the spirit and go up. Keep going up and go up the ladder.

Head down and fight the Fairy with a level 29 Cirno. A bit past her is the exit!

Outside, head left and interact with the rock near the stairs to pick up a Talisman. Head down the steps and continue right. Fight the Kappa with a level 29 Rika. Go up past her into some grass and pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing an Amethyst Hairpin (boosts Poison-type attacks). Now head down the nearby steps. When you can turn right, do so.

Continue on and you'll be stuck by a scene of Medicine Melancholy and Yuuka talking to some fairies. You can't get down there right now because the fairies won't let you past, so go up instead.

This will bring you to an Inn! Yay!

In here, aside from the usual items, the Merchant also sells all of the "Anti" charms (check the wiki so I don't have to type them all out), and, more importantly, OATH THREAD. Yaaaay!

This is where I'm ending this section because blogger is lagging from the amount of text, so, see you in the next section!

  2. At the rest stop/inn, there are two pots to the top right. The one to the right contains a rice ball.
