RYU GA GOTOKU KENZAN: ALL 21 INVENTIONS, PART 1

RYU GA GOTOKU KENZAN: ALL 21 INVENTIONS, PART 1 Visit Gyotensai in the small building at Gion's northeast corner. His laboratory opens at 5-1. Talk to him, select an available invention and bring its ingredients in your carried inventory. Each recipe below uses ONE of each listed ingredient. A wrong mystery ingredient wastes the materials, so save before handing anything over. Recipe availability does not mean every ingredient is already obtainable. The Empty Stomach Pill is listed from Chapter 5, for example, but its Tea Dango is reached in Chapter 6. Complete all 21 inventions for Cat Shoes. Before finishing the entire list, complete Request 97, Wings to the Future. An older English guide warns that finishing inventions first can block that request. The newer KHHsubs guide does not repeat the warning, but doing the request first avoids the issue. Keep Request 12's cloths and Request 53's Glass Kiseru. Getting the first answer wrong in Request 13 or the second wrong in Request 45 prevents Request 53's best outcome, which supplies that kiseru. 1. Sobering Pill Recipe opens at 5-1.

Pharmacies sell it for 230 Mon after invention. 3. Super Sludge Worm Recipe opens at 5-5 after obtaining the Turtle Tub. Ingredients: Sludge Worm (Large) + Dried Algae + Canal Burdock. - Large worm: 100 Mon from the turtle seller. - Dried Algae: 200 Mon from the same seller.
