PDP Shard of Dreams Guide Part 21: Backtracking for Items

Part 20 can be found here.

First of all, if you did Gap back to the Human Village you'll notice that Reisen is now here (disguised?) and selling Dream Pills, but that's about it that's new here. Oh, and stop by Kosuzu's to bring her any books we've picked up, of which there should be four (if you're missing one, go back to Scarlet Devil Mansion and talk to Koakuma).

See? Four books.

Now that we have easy to access to everywhere we've already been, and we have ways of accessing areas we couldn't before, this section of the guide will be dedicated to going back to some familiar places to get some new items and Puppets! Yay!

To begin with, let's head to Hakurei Shrine. First of all, out front you'll see Kasen walking around dressed as a shrine maiden. She won't fight you or anything though. Head to the left corner of the area and cross the water Genji's hanging around in and pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Hakurei Shinshu. More importantly, you can catch some neat Puppets in this grass. You can catch Shingyoku, Kana, Rin, Sukuna, Sumireko, and Reimu (rare).

Next stop: Senkai (press A or D on Gap Map to see the right page). Head down across the bridge and cross the river to the left to get the Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 93.

Next stop, Kourindou. Go through the Forest of Magic until you reach some water, and then surf up through the water (you may have to get onto a bridge and then surf again) until you get to a point where you can't go any farther, then go onto the land below you.
There's a purple-haired fairy here who will fight you with a level 28 Daiyousei. In the grass behind her is a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 58.

Next stop, Scarlet Devil Mansion, kind of. More like we're just gapping there because it's the fastest way to get where we need to go. Head down and left around Misty Lake until you get to the bridge and the Kappa. Head left. This brings you to the area near Forest of Magic North. Enter the forest, and luckily the trip will be much less confusing this time.

Upon entering the forest, head left and keep going until you reach a bridge. Cross it, and then go down. When you can turn left, do so and go through the grass. Fight the Ghost with a level 29 Lunasa. Hop the nearby ledge, and then smash one of the rocks to the left to enter the next area.

I'm going to do this next area as a separate part just for ease of reading since this seems like a good break point. It'll be done super fast, I swear.
