Toushin Toshi:Walkthrough

Entering the Tournament, Round 1, 1st Floor
When you get control of Custom at the beginning of the game and can move around, go to the Coliseum. Talk to the receptionist, Shuri. She informs you that in order to participate in the tournament, you need to retrieve a Hero Crest from the labyrinth on the outskirts of town. Leave the coliseum and head to the labyrinth. It might be a good idea to get some Medicine from the shop in town first. The Hero Crests are in the first floor of the labyrinth, in a room in the lower left part of a huge part of the cave. Once you take one by entering the room, you can talk to Shuri again to enter the tournament.

There is a girl named Kaori (or maybe Kaoru?) in the first floor of the cave, on the right. Her boyfriend wants her to get a video game for him, but she doesn't have money. Well, what to do but, uh... earn it with her body? ^_^; For some hundred Gold, you can buy an H-scene with her, but it will raise your Evil stat a bit. That will make it harder to gain levels (but only slightly). If you just give her the money, your Evil will go to zero. She will be back to "raise more money" later, but each time it will cost more and give you a different scene.

Be careful if you go too far into the cave. By a treasure chest that has the Iron Key, there is a forced battle with Crayon. At low levels, she can be a very tough enemy. If you can't handle it, run away from the battle. Once you defeat her and get the Iron Key, you can open the door leading to the second floor.

Once you have entered the tournament, you need to gain enough levels and buy good enough weapons to defeat Dogi, your first opponent when the time comes. Poking around the first and second floors of the labyrinth should prepare you well. Resting at the Inn will bring you one day closer to the day of your match each time. Keep in mind that you cannot rest on the day of your match, so if you need healing on that day, you'll need to use medicine or be defeated in battle (but that's not recommended since you'll lose your stored experience.)

When it's your day to fight, head to the coliseum. You will fight Dogi, a very straightforward battle. Remember you can use Medicine during the battle when needed. Once you win, you will get stat-boosting medicine, 1000 Gold, and some "alone" time with Dogi's partner, Mani.
