You can only carry five, so make them count! Pacifying Agents should be in your quick menu - and you can always get more either from killing the Rotting Prisoners in this area, or buying them from Fujioka the Info Broker. YouвЂ™ll need to be constantly strafing and sprinting - dashing into to unleash some hits, and then quickly back out before getting hit by soul orbs. If your terror meter fills - you die.Д«ecause of this, and because the Mini-Boss has relatively lower health than other Mini-Bosses along with slowly regenerating posture, a lot of this fight will come down to hit and run attacks. The Shichmen Warrior rarely attacks directly, and instead will fill the room with slow floating soul orbs that will deal a bit of damage when they hit you, as well as building up Terror. This is also where the shortcut from the Ashina Reservoir well leads - on the opposite side of the cave, and thereвЂ™s just a few Crawling Geckos by the other side here, and you can also strafe around the edge of this arena to reach the Bottomless Pit SculptorвЂ™s Idol if you so choose.Дropping down will trigger the battle - and itвЂ™s a spooky one. Further up is another Rotting Prisoner in front of a Crumbling Offering Tower to the vassals of Ashina that were executed after the rebellion - now forgotten in these dank depths.ДЄs you enter a giant cave, youвЂ™ll see a large purple glow coming from the center of the cave down below, where a Mini-Boss Shichimen Warrior is performing some dark ritual with large glowing soul orbs floating about. ThereвЂ™s a small tunnel off to the left where a passage leads to a Bite Down item - which can be used to kill yourself to throw enemies off your scent before resurrecting. Heading down into the darkened pit, the place is crawling with Crickets that will try jumping all over you - so either use Shurikens or run and slash until you can clear them away, and youвЂ™ll find two jars of Oil. This strange consumable will give you the red eyes, like those found on the Chained Ogre - which will let you power through enemy attacks, but inhibits the use of resurrection. When running into him, consider carefully how youвЂ™d feel about sending someone into whatвЂ™s most likely a terrible fate.ДЄt the far end of the cave here are two more Rotting Prisoners by a body that holds a Red Lump. We havenвЂ™t met someone worth talking to from Taro Troop, but we have met a samurai, Jinzaemon, who is either at the well where you started the game, or further into the Abandoned Dungeon if you cleared out the Lone Shadow blocking the way. If this all sounds super sketchy, youвЂ™re probably right, considering the location of this place.

If you want to explore more - take a left to find an open cell door at the top of the stairs, and inside youвЂ™ll find a Rotting PrisonerвЂ™s Note: Interestingly enough, killing them after hitting them with the Flame Vent, or even using the upgraded Spring-load Flame Vent to kill them in one shot makes sure they wonвЂ™t get up again.ДЄs you reach the short stairway, take note of the beams above you that serve as an easy route above this room and away from all the Rotting Prisoners.

Thankfully, killing them one more time should cause their body to fade away. These Rotting Prisoners can only stumble towards you and try to grab you - but can easily be strafed and killedвЂ¦ that is until they get up again.ДЄs it turns out, these Rotting Prisoners seem to have some form of the rejuvenating waters - and will get up to attack again, so make sure not turn your back on them. On the right youвЂ™ll also see one of the many bodies in this dungeon rise to life and try to attack. Entering through the main dungeon entrance, youвЂ™ll quickly notice the amount of Crickets jumping about - who seem to be mostly harmless, but can sometimes get agitated and attack you, so you may as well kill them for the easy experience.
