Part 30 can be found here.

Please excuse my lateness, my computer is having issues at the moment.

Anyway, enter the Hakurei Cave and we will begin!

Here, you can capture Marisa, Mima, Sara, Yuuka, and Reimu.

Immediately upon entering, pick up the Yin Yang Orb to your left. It contains Skill Card 21. After this, go up. When you see some steps, go left (don't go up the steps). Fight the Spirit with a level 50 MimaP, and continue left. Pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Magic Crystal (high sell price etc. item), and then head back down to the stairs.

Go up the steps, then up two more sets of steps. Cross the nearby bridge and continue. When you get to a second bridge and some steps, go down the steps first. Fight the Beast Youkai with a level 49 MamizouD and a level 49 RanP. Go left past her and then down the ladder.

Down here, go right. Pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Sun Fruit Jam. You don't have to fight the Ghost here, but if you do, he has a level 50 SeigaS. Head back to the ladder, and go down. Go down the steps. There's a youkai here with a level 49 SakuyaS and a level 49 RemiliaP, although she is very easy to skip if you don't want to fight her. Down past her is a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 46. Now head back up to the ladder, and go back up it.

Head to the right past the beast youkai and go back up the steps (don't hop the ledge), and go right across the bridge. Go down the nearby steps and then go right. Fight the girl with a level 45 SeijaD, 45 FutoS, 45 ShouP, 45 SakuyaS, 45 SanaeS, and a level 45 YoumuP.

Go left past her and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing an Ecstasy Set. Now go right and down the steps. Head up. There's a youkai here (although she is easily avoidable) with a level 50 FlandreS. Pick up the nearby Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 60. Now go down and keep going down. You'll eventually come to a ladder, so go down it.

There's a Spirit right nearby with a level 50 YukariP. Down past him, go right. Fight the Beast Youkai with a level 48 YoshikaD, level 48 KasenA, and a level 48 YuyukoP. Pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Wooden Sword (very nice item; like the Combat Handbook but for PP instead of Exp), then head left. Fight the ghost girl with a level 49 KoishiA and a level 49 KokoroD. Go left past her and then up some steps. Go right and up another set of steps.

Continue left and fight the Ghost with a level 50 YuugenA. Now head up and across the bridge. Fight the Rabbit with a level 49 YorihimeP and a level 49 ToyohimeD. The nearby Ghost will fight you with a level 50 EikiD. Now head down the three sets of steps and go left. Keep going left and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Houen Charm. Now head back to the steps, hop the ledge to your right, go up, and head back up the ladder.

Go left, and hop another ledge. Continue left. This is the entrance again. Feel free to leave and heal, and when you're done, go up and turn right when you see the stairs.

Fight the girl with a level 48 SeigaP, level 48 FutoS, and a level 48 MikoP, then continue. Go up the steps and go left. Continue along (linear) and fight the Sunflower Fairy with a level 49 KomachiP and a level 49 EikiD, then pick up the Yin Yang Orb at the end that contains a Hakurei Shinshu. Now head back to the steps, and go right. Fight the purple-haired fairy with a level 48 SunnyA, level 48 StarP, and a level 48 LunaS. Go past her, and go down the nearby steps.

From here, go down and fight the Ghost with a level 50 YoumuP. Pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Fate Thread. Now head up. Go up the nearby ladder.

There's a woman here who will fight you with a level 49 IkuS and a level 49 TenshiP. Down past her are three Yin Yang Orbs. The one on the left contains a Sun Fruit Jam. The bottom one contains a Yoke Charm. The one on the right contains a Hakurei Shinshu. Now head back down the ladder.

Go down and to the left until you get back to the steps, go up them, and head up the next set of steps. Continue along, go across the bridge. Fight the Zombie Fairy with a level 49 FutoS and a level 49 MikoP. Go down the two sets of steps and fight the ghost girl with a level 45 LyricaS, 45 BenbenD, 45 LunasaD, 45 YatsuhashiS, 45 RaikoP, and a level 45 MerlinA. To her right is a Yin Yang Orb containing a Prismatic Candy. Now head left and down the ladder.

Go down and fight the girl with a level 50 NueP. Go right past her and cross the water to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing a Formation Charm. Head back across the water and go left and down. Go up the steps and cross the bridge, and then down another set of steps. Fight the male Oni with a level 50 KonngaraP, then go down the nearby steps. Go right and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Moriya Shinshu, then go back to the steps and go up them. Go right and up another set of steps.

Cross the bridge and continue along. Go down two sets of steps and keep going.

This brings you to a cave exit. Go on through. Make sure you're healed and ready for battle, and continue through the little tunnel. At the end, Sara will fight you with a level 50 EllyD, level 54 SaraD, and a level 50 MeilingS. She will let you pass after you defeat her, so enter the...teleporter(?).

This brings you to a weird dream-world like area with glass patches and weird jump things.

Begin by heading down from the teleporter and down a large set of steps. There's a Yin Yang Orb right there, but we have to take a longer route to get to it. It's easy though. Hop all the little spots until you get to it. It contains Skill Card 82. Now take the last little jump and head back up to the teleporter, then head up.
This brings you to a white light, so go on through.

I will end this section here because it's getting lengthy, and go on to the next part!
