Gap to Scarlet Devil Mansion and enter. Sakuya will talk to you once you enter, and then leave.
Enter the center door and go up the large stairs to your right or left, and then up the central stairs. Approach the large door in the center to overhear a conversation. Enter the room to talk to Remilia and Flandre. Flandre will leave after. Follow her back out the door and head to the left. Enter the little door. There's a bed in here to heal if you need to, and then head out the next door (left).
Go down through a door, then down and through another door. Then go left and keep going left until you can't anymore, then go up. Go through two screen changes (right after the other).
Continue along and go down, go down the steps, keep going down, down more steps, go down some more, and down one more set of steps. Then go right. When you go down another tiny set of steps, go right. Keep going until you can't go right anymore, then go down. Continue along to a screen change.
Go left when you can, and then up, and then left. There's a large door here, so go through it. Go through this next hallway and through another large door. This brings you to a dining room. In the top right corner is a door. Go through it.
In here, you'll talk to Flandre. She'll then spawn three more Flandres. You have to fight all four Flandres in a row.
The first Flandre uses a level 65 UtsuhoS, level 65 MokouP, and a level 65 ClownpieceS.
The second Flandre uses a level 65 UdongeP, level 65 SakuyaS, and a level 65 GengetsuS.
The third Flandre uses a level 65 YuukaD, level 65 TenshiD, and a level 65 SukunaD.
The final Flandre uses a level 68 FlandreS, level 68 FlandreEX, and a level 68 FlandreP.
These fights are all in a row with no breaks for healing. As a warning, that Clownpiece is pretty powerful. The final Flandre's FlandreS also has an item that makes it so she cannot be 1HKO'd, and FlandreEX has odd typing. Good luck!
Exit her room, exit the dining room, and then exit her hallway. When you're back in the main Basement area, Gap out and back to the entrance of Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Once back in the entrance hall of the mansion, go left and take the steps down into the Library.
Once in the Library, go over to where the Akyuu Box is. You'll notice there is now a Patchouli Puppet on the table and a Yin Yang Orb beside it. The Yin Yang Orb contains some items for Reincarnation, which we'll get to a second.
The mechanics of Reincarnation are best explained by the TPDP Wiki. So I won't write a separate basic Reincarnation Guide.
That said, I do have a particular strategy for reincarnating things.
First, you need to get two Puppets with all S ranked stats. If you didn't import over your original game starter then you already have one with all S ranks guaranteed. The basic idea here is that we want two parent Puppets with the most S ranks that we have. Keep in mind that the parent Puppets will not be changed at all, so don't worry about which ones are the parents.
I'm going to be using Shou, who has S ranks in all stats, and an Elly with an S in HP and Speed.
Talk to the Patchouli Puppet to begin reincarnation. In the first slot, put the Puppet you want to Reincarnate. Make sure this isn't one of your good Puppets! In the second and third slots put the parents. In the fourth slot is what nature you want your Puppet to have. Generally, you'll want Red, Green, or Black Mark. Make sure you pick the right Mark for the right Puppet! A Puppet that's supposed to have high FoAtk isn't going to need a Black Mark!
紅の印 - Red Mark
蒼の印 - Blue Mark
黒の印 - Black Mark
白の印 - White Mark
碧の印 - Green Mark
The final slot is for your Magic Stone, which determines how stats are passed down. Unless you've gone and done the Ice Cave, then you will only have the Rainbow and Omega MagStones.
透の魔石 - Omega MagStone
虹の魔石 - Rainbow MagStone
In general, you'll be wanting to use the Rainbow MagStone, as it is the most universal and the easiest to get all S ranks, in my opinion. I have never once needed to use the colored magic stones from Ice Cave. The Omega MagStone is really only used if you have a perfect all S rank Puppet but did the wrong Mark. So, in general, use the Rainbow MagStone.
Reincarnate the Puppet, and if it has more S ranks than your non-perfect-S-rank parent, then use this new Puppet as the parent and reincarnate something else. The idea is just to use the most S ranks when reincarnating to increase your likelihood of getting full S ranks.
Then keep redoing this until you get a perfect S rank. Once you have two perfect S rank Puppets to use as parents, this whole process becomes a whole lot easier. It's just the first (or first two, if you imported and your starter is not all S ranks) that is annoying and tedious. It shouldn't take too long, although it's dependent on luck. Getting my first full S-rank Puppet took about 23 reincarnations with one parent full S and the other with two S ranks.
Oh, and remember that each reincarnation attempt costs a Magic Fragment.
Now, where do we level all these new reincarnated Puppets?
Simple. On your Gap Map, press A to pull up the screen with four Gap Points. Gap to the one on the top left. This is Yukari's House. If you go down, there's a patch of grass where you can fight wild Chens, Rans, and Yukaris. Just bring one high level Puppet with you to use in battle, and equip those two Combat Handbooks and your Natives Grace to your Puppets and grind here.
There's even an Akyuu Box here to heal with; just put the Puppet you need to heal into the box and then take it out immediately after and it'll be fully healed.
...Just don't enter the house to the left unless you're ready for a fight, because Yukari and Ran are in there. So, don't go waltzing in there with a party of level 1s.

PDP Shard of Dreams Post Game: Getting the Rainbow MagStone
So, here I'll be explaining how to get the Rainbow MagStone, which is a very, very important item for Reincarnation, so it's best to pick it up as soon as possible.
So, first thing's first, Gap to Mayohiga Inn.
Go to the left, go up the steps, and continue left. Keep going left (don't go up the next set of steps). You'll eventually get to a screen change.
This new area is quite misty. Enter the next screen change.
The grass here contains Shou, Kokoro, and Tokiko.
Continue straight to the left and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Prismatic Candy. Go down a bit and go through to the next area, to the left.
Here, in the grass above you is a Yin Yang Orb containing something, but I have no idea. I checked and double-checked the wiki but there doesn't appear to be an equivalent; so it must be something new! Down below the grass is a Merchant standing around who sells Charms. His sell list is as follows:
Fish Scale Charm Yoke Charm
Crane Wing Charm Houen Charm
Skirmisher Charm Scimitar Charm
Mystical Charm Pinpoint Charm
Formation Charm Life Charm
Healing Charm Massage Charm
Awakening Charm Antidote Charm
Burn Charm Light Charm
Relief Charm Courage Charm
Clarity Charm Cursebreak Charm
Curing Charm Thorn Charm
Purify Charm Haste Charm
The last two items on the list (the ones for 250000) appear to be new. They're definitely Charms, but have not a clue what they do. Sorry.
Anyway, take the upper left exit out of the area. ...Which isn't actually a real exit and actually just loops around to the lower area of this exact same area. Seriously, we could have just gone down past the Merchant to get to the same place, but oh well! Loops are fun!
Regardless! There's a Yin Yang Orb here containing a Fish Scale Charm. Take the nearby exit (not the one we just came from!), to your left.
In this next area, there will be some grass at the far left of the area with a Yin Yang Orb containing a Prismatic Candy. Go up the nearby steps and through to the next exit.
Go down the next set of steps, and then go left and down through some grass. Continue going down through to an exit. Go down here and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Crane Wing Charm. Now head back up to the exit again. Go slightly and left to the next exit.
Go left through some grass to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing a Mystical Charm. Now go down. Ignore where you can turn left for now, and go to the lowest exit. There's a Yin Yang Orb here containing a Life Charm. Now go up to the exit again.
Go up and take the first left to another exit.
And now you are at Kasen's House! Congratulations! There's a Jizou Statue here to give an offering to. I am almost certain that this one says it's taking Chirei Bun, but I don't appear to have lost a Chirei Bun by making the offering. I checked a bunch of times, but no item was taken from me as far as I can tell.
The grass here contains Byakuren, Kasen, Komachi, Reimu, and Miko.
When you're ready, enter Kasen's House, and speak with Kasen. Basically, she'll ask you to retrieve some lost items for her.
The first one is rather nearby, so we'll start there. Leave her house and exit to the right. Go up to the next exit. Go down through some grass and take the lower exit in the next area. Now go down and take the next exit (there's only one other one here besides the one you came from). This brings you to the Great Frog Pond.
Here, you can capture Suwako and Cirno. Also, there's frogs all over the place. In the top right corner of the area, near a little shrine, is even more frogs. One of these frogs is moving faster than the other frogs. Talk to that one. It will give you the Peach Hairpin.
When you're done, Gap to the Hakurei Shrine. Enter the Shrine and go to the little healing room. In here, there's a little decorative box-thing near the dresser. Interact with it and you'll have to fight Sukuna. She uses a level 65 RaikoP, 63 YatsuhashiS, 65 SukunaP, 63 SeijaS, and a level 63 BenbenP. Upon defeating her, Reimu will come and kick you both out. If needed, re-enter the Shrine and heal at the bed, then go out back behind the Shrine.
Interact with the Well back there to pick up the Dog Flute. Suika is also back here, and will fight you if you talk to her. She uses a level 68 SuikaD, level 68 SuikaEX, and a level 68 SuikaP.
Now Gap to Scarlet Devil Mansion. Now go down to Misty Lake. Go left around the lake until you get to the area with the Kappa, and go that way. Continue left and enter Forest of Magic North.
Cross the water, go left, and then down until you get to a bridge. Cross the bridge and go down. Keep going until you get to the smashable rocks that bring you to Muenzuka. Make your way through Muenzuka to the giant purple tree.
(If you need a refresher on getting through Muenzuka, please check this part here.)
Right in front of the tree is a Yin Yang Orb containing the Monkey Seat.
Now Gap to the Human Village and take the top right exit. Go right ever so slightly until you see some rocks above you. They're really, really close to the Human Village, so don't go too far. Smash the small rock, and go up there.
The first guy on the route won't fight you, but the first girl will. She uses a level 32 YumemiP. Go into the grass near her and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Gold Coin. Now go up. Go right and cross the water. Go up the little set of steps, and interact with the rock to obtain a Grimoire. Cross the water again and go left. In the grass is a girl who will fight you with a level 30 NazrinS, level 30 KyoukoP, and a level 30 MomijiD. There's nothing else in the grass though, so go left down the path near it instead. There's a screen change up here.
In here, you'll see Kana Anaberal playing with a Lyrica Puppet. She will fight you with a level 63 LyricaP, level 65 KanaEX, level 63 MerlinP, and a level 63 LunasaD. After defeating her she will give you the final item for Kasen: the Hochodo Book. Up past her is a Yin Yang Orb contain Skill Card 83.
In the grass here you can capture Kotohime, Ellen, Chiyuri, Kana, Rikako, and Yumemi.
In the bottom right corner is a note to read, so do that. Now, Gap to Kasen's House (yes, it is a Gap point). Talk to Kasen and she will give you the Rainbow MagStone! Congratulations! It's a very important Reincarnation item!

Main Shard of Dream Guide: Complete!
Done! Finally!
It's 11:30 PM right now, so I'm going to go to bed, but work on the Post-Game stuff will begin tomorrow. I've made a new page for the post-game guides because the main guide hub is looking rather cluttered. The link for the new page is in with the other links in the hub though.
I'm thinking that the first thing I'll work on is Reincarnation stuff (unlocking it + Kasen's task), and then Kosuzu's Books, and from there...well, I'll figure that out when I get there!
Very excited to not have to do any more caves though! Caves are torturous to write guides for.

PDP Shard of Dreams Guide Part 33: Makai
Part 32 can be found here.
Upon entering Makai, head down the steps, and head right. Head up into the fountain area, and then left when you can. There's a Devil Shopkeeper here who sells healing items (red roof). Just up past her is some grass where you can capture Alice, Louise, Sara, Yumeko, and Shinki.
Head up past the grass, and then right. There's another Devil Shopkeeper (blue roof) here that sells Skill Cards 101 through 115, which are the Sign skills. Head up past her and then go left. You'll see Louise sitting by a table with an Akyuu Box. Louise will heal you when you talk to her, and the Akyuu Box is there for your convenience. Feel free to leave and do anything you need to do before returning, because this is your last chance before the post-game.
Get your best Puppets ready, and head up the steps/bridge near Louise. Head through the winding path and enter Pandaemonium and prepare yourself to face the Makai 4.
Please be aware that unlike in the original game, in this one you cannot exit via Gap Map.
Speak with the woman at the counter to begin when you are ready.
Enter the first room, where you will face Yuki. Yuki's Puppets are as follows:
Level 58 Speed Rin
Level 59 Speed Clownpiece
Level 58 Speed Futo
Level 62 Speed Yuki
Level 59 Speed Marisa
I can't say for absolute certain, but I believe she will always immediately swap Clownpiece out for Futo so Futo can lower your Focus Attack with Smoke Deploy, and then she'll swap back to Clownpiece after you take down Futo.
In the second room, you will fight Mai. Mai's Puppets are as follows:
Level 58 Speed Seiga
Level 60 Assist Satori
Level 58 Power Doremy
Level 59 Power Iku
Level 62 Power Mai
That Satori is evil. Evil evil evil. As far as I can tell, she was reflecting all damage back to me, and then I think the Iku did something else that lowered my attack drastically.
In the third room, you will fight Yumeko. Yumeko's Puppets are as follows:
Level 59 Power Miko
Level 60 Defense Kokoro
Level 63 Speed Yumeko
Level 60 Power Sakuya
Level 59 Power Sagume
Didn't really run into any problems here. I guess that Miko could be an issue if she hit first, but if you just get her below 50% health then she becomes trivial due to her ability.
In the final room, you will face Shinki. Shinki's team is as follows:
Level 62 Speed Junko
Level 68 Power Shinki
Level 65 Power Yumeko
Level 65 Power Mima
Level 62 Speed Byakuren
Level 64 Power Sariel
Junko's ability makes it so she deals damage to you after you knock her out, so be aware of that. Also, Yumeko has Morale Booster, so her attack will boost if she manages to knock out any of your Puppets. Sariel and Shinki are both weak to Light type attacks, so as long as you have those, you should be all set. Oh, and huge level advantages help too.
With Shinki defeated, congratulations! You have beaten Shard of Dreams! You'll see Yukari speaking to you again before the credits roll.
Well, for the most part. Now we have a post-game to cover!
When the credits are over, you'll find yourself in the Hakurei Shrine, and you'll be greeted by Marisa, who will bring you to also visit Sanae and Reimu. Sanae will bring you outside, and you'll be free to begin doing whatever it is you want to do.
And there are some options there. And I'll have guides for them once I finish them! Off to writing!

PDP Shard of Dreams Guide Part 32: Makai Snowy Area *Picture Heavy*
Part 31 can be found here.
Through that white light at the end of section 31, we now find ourselves in a pretty, snowy area. Head up, and...oh, fun, ice puzzles.
Soooo, I thought this would be a pain to explain in words, so I made a makeshift map by taking screenshots of the game and quickly patching them together in Paint and then drawing in arrows for the path, so here, have a poorly made map:
So, do that. And then go up. In the grass here you can capture Elis, Mai, Yuki, YuugenMagan, and Sariel (very rare).
Continue along and fight the Devil with a level 49 Yuukas (D/P). In the grass to her right is a Yin Yang Orb containing a Formation Charm. Now head back to the ice, and have another map to get you to the next area:
Go up from here, and you'll see Elis walking around. I'm pretty sure that she heals you so talk to her, then continue up the bridge.
Up here is yet another ice puzzle. Yay.
Pick up the Yin Yang Orb over here which contains Skill Card 16. Now take the following route:
Go right here and fight the Devil. She uses five level 45 Yoshikas (3 Ps and 2 Ds) and a level 45 SeigaS. Now go up to the next ice puzzle, which isn't a puzzle at all. It's easy. Just go straight up.
Once you're across the puzzle, go right and pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 28. Now head left. Fight the brown-haired fairy with a level 50 YuyukoP. Now go left. Go up the first set of steps and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Houen Charm. Go back down the steps.
Head down to the next set of steps, but don't go up them yet. Go down instead and hop the ledges to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 94, hop the last ledge, and you'll be back at the second ice puzzle. Just do the same thing again, including getting to the other side first.
Then head up, through the straightforward last puzzle, and back over to the steps that were right before the ledges from before. Go up the steps. Continue along, and fight he Zombie Fairy with a level 49 RinS and a level 49 UtsuhoP. Go left past her and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 8. Now head down. Ice puzzle. Confusing map time!
The Yin Yang Orb contains an item, but I couldn't figure out what it is; it appears to be new.
Anyway, continue down. You'll run into Gengetsu and Mugetsu. They will fight you (together) with a level 52 RemiliaS, level 52 FlandreS, level 56 MugetsuP, and a level 56 GengetsuS. After defeating them, you can go through to the new area behind them.
Straight ahead is another teleporter, so enter it. This brings you to a small room, so take the exit.
Congratulations, you are now in Makai! This is the final part of the game that isn't the postgame, so I feel it should have its own section.
Part 33 can be found here.
Through that white light at the end of section 31, we now find ourselves in a pretty, snowy area. Head up, and...oh, fun, ice puzzles.

Go right here and fight the Devil. She uses five level 45 Yoshikas (3 Ps and 2 Ds) and a level 45 SeigaS. Now go up to the next ice puzzle, which isn't a puzzle at all. It's easy. Just go straight up.
Once you're across the puzzle, go right and pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 28. Now head left. Fight the brown-haired fairy with a level 50 YuyukoP. Now go left. Go up the first set of steps and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Houen Charm. Go back down the steps.
Head down to the next set of steps, but don't go up them yet. Go down instead and hop the ledges to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 94, hop the last ledge, and you'll be back at the second ice puzzle. Just do the same thing again, including getting to the other side first.
Then head up, through the straightforward last puzzle, and back over to the steps that were right before the ledges from before. Go up the steps. Continue along, and fight he Zombie Fairy with a level 49 RinS and a level 49 UtsuhoP. Go left past her and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 8. Now head down. Ice puzzle. Confusing map time!

Anyway, continue down. You'll run into Gengetsu and Mugetsu. They will fight you (together) with a level 52 RemiliaS, level 52 FlandreS, level 56 MugetsuP, and a level 56 GengetsuS. After defeating them, you can go through to the new area behind them.
Straight ahead is another teleporter, so enter it. This brings you to a small room, so take the exit.
Congratulations, you are now in Makai! This is the final part of the game that isn't the postgame, so I feel it should have its own section.

PDP Shard of Dreams Guide Part 31: Hakurei Cave
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!
