Rance I:Walkthrough

You (Rance) start investigating the case of Hikari's disappearing. First you send your slave Sill to the school of high class girls where Hikari was studying. An you get to control Rance moves right after that.M ind you that I am not going to translate the menus or things like that - I hope you to be wise enough to understand what the menu does.

As you can see the movement system in Rance 1 is rather strange and confusing First two options if available mean "Up" and "Down" while two others "Right" and "Left" (or if to be more precise names mean - North, South, West, East). Once you step onto the territory that territory becomes all red. If you stepped on the territory where the house is - on the menus should appear new option that allows you to “Enter” the house. Sometimes you cannot enter it because its closed/locked. Now lets go to the game itself.

'''Capital of Rezesu. Main City'''

1. Meet Sill. She is in that big school building on the western part of the city. You can learn a magic spell from her when you H her with some specific actions, replacing the current spell. Known combinations:

2. Choose "Ask" and then select "Hikari" option twice. Sill will tell you a few hints (but not too much) about the case of Hikari.

3. H Sill not only in order to get various magic spells (which are very useful but not vital for the game) but since the whole game flow needs you to have H-ed her at least one time.

4. Try to go to the gates that lead to the castle (in the eastern part of the city). The guardian girl won’t let you in, as you need a “Castle permit” to get into the castle.

5. Returning to the park causes you to meet a girl who seems to have lost her wallet. You will have your wallet stolen if you help her. You will get a glimpse of the ninja who kidnapped Hikari too.

6. As it is evening, now the inn is open (the place in the north western part of the city, next to bar). Go there, Talk to Nami, agree on staying overnight.

7. In the Inn chose “Call” option. Nami comes, then select ”Hear” and “About Thieves”. She will tell you few things. Then go to sleep.

8. Go to the armor shop (right before inn). Talk and hear few things from selling girl. She will tell you that there is passage into outside the city in south western part of the city. Don’t go there yet as you will be killed (most likely). Go to the Item Shop, East and North from the Park or West and North from the Castle. The shop girl here will tell you about the information hacker in the south eastern part of the city (above graveyard and right before leveling up building).

9. Go to the hacker girl talk to her and hear those things that you can.

10. Go to the bar and talk with bartender (before that you will most likely meet Sill along the way if you have been on school building that day before and haven’t found her). While talking with bartender chose “Hear” and then “Thieves”. He will tell you that his daughter was kidnapped by them and will ask for your help. Accept and get 800 for the help (well you’ll get half of the money in advance).

11. Now when you have enough money go buy some weapons in armory shop.

12. Go to hacker girl and buy information on how to enter thieves cave. It will cost 100 but you have to buy it in order to progress with the story.

13. Now go outside the city. Level up there a little as if you will go directly to the cave you will get killed (most likely) and you need level 12 (no more, no less) to get Haniwa bronze statue. Once you feel that you are strong enough get in that cave.

Note: If you want to get Haniwa bronze statue you have to ask Item Shop Girl about monsters again. This flag resets after level up. (Doesn't work for me, asking for item to guy 1, do nothing except some text)

Thieves Cave

14. Go into the right on the crossroad check the first room as there is a key. You need to look around, explore cupboard and desk in order to see it. Then chose take it. On the second room you will meet the guy imprisoned in cement.

15. Talk with him and then go back to the first crossroad and now go left. Up on stairs you will meet a thief – kill him.

16. His dead body will be blocking the path, so return back to the room with key to look around again to see the shoes, then take them.

17. With shoes you can advance further. In next room you will get a medicine and a key.

18. There are now two other rooms left and the one above them. In those two are additional events. In one on the left, a girl, who will have H with you if you answer right to her three questions in row. On the right it’s the Girl being H with two bandits. DON’T H her! If you’ll do – the game will be over. However you need to talk a bit with bandits to get Haniwa bronze statue which is pretty useful later.

19. The boss is on the last room where the bartender’s daughter is kept. Kill the boss.

Back in the city

20. Meet the girl and her father on the bar. Father will give you other part of the money and the “Traffic bill” (you need to talk with him and “Hear” him few times).

21. Go to the castle. But the guardian girl will tell you to come tomorrow as today is too late.

22. Go to the inn to spend the night again.

23. Go back to the gates in the morning and finally enter the castle.

Castle

24. Go to coliseum and see the gladiators fighting. Talk around to hear the history of that.

25. Go to casino and talk with that unfriendly girl.

26. Enter the castle building. And go left. Enter both rooms on the right.

27. In the first room you will see the maid cleaning. “Talk” and “Hear” as always. Then select to do H to her. While doing H select to look at maids clothes and then you will notice a key. Select to take it once it is available as an option.

28. The next girl in the next room will be stealing bread. You use that as a threatening possibility in order to do H to her. Most important is talking and hearing her once again as you will gain some important information. You'll need to speak to her and leave without Assaulting her in order to get the dungeon key.

29. Go into the empty room on the left and select look around the things few times. Then select “to move” and you will find a bottle. Take it.

30. Now go back to the entrance and go right this time. Go up. On the room on the left you will meet Miku for the first time. That’s the girl with pink hair and incredible power. You will get to know for how strong she really is if you try to take her panties – she will hit you out of the room. On the room on the right lives the perverted mouse that talks and loves young girl panties. He tells he will show some transformation technique if he will bring him Miku’s panties.

31. Out of perverted mouse room go further north. Into the hall with queen and king. Talk with them and hear things.

32. Go out the hall and go to the prison. Ask the guard girl about HIkari twice and the guard should fall asleep. (if she’s not falling asleep that means you haven’t talked with everyone yet).

33. Now go into the room where the prisoner is kept. "Ask" the prisoner her "name" three times and she will tell her name. After hearing her name go back to casino.

34. "Ask" the unfriendly casino girl her "name" and Rance will ask if the prisoner is her sister. She will give you some reward for helping her sister if you do “Talking” and “Hearing” with her.

35. Go back to the prison and the prisoner girl will thank you and well and give you the straw.

36. Go to that maids room (the one you’ve got the key from and H-ed). Try to do that cleaning with the straw and you will get the option to take a fruit that you find while cleaning. Take it.

37. Go to king’s hall and hear about colisseum. King should give you the Participation Ticket, which gives you permission to fight there.

38. If you are at a high enough level(15~), you can defeat Yuran without doing the next step. The girl that was stealing bread in the castle would have mentioned that you can block Yuran's special attack with the juice of a Hirara Lemon. You can buy the Hirara Lemon fromt the item shop close to the gates of the castle. Buy the rabbit panties also.

39. Go the castle again but don’t go to perverted mouse room yet. As if you chose to give him panties he will find out that those are not Miku’s. Go to Miku’s room and give her the panties. She will give them back disgusted but the smell she left on panties will be enough to trick the mouse. 40. Trick the mouse and then “Hear” “Transformation”. 41. Now go to coliseum but saving before that is a good idea as there will be many strong opponents in row coming at you. Beat them all. H Yuran, then leave the coliseum.

42. Maris will meet you outside. She is a devoted maid of Lia, the queen, and will take you to Lia’s room. Talk with Lia and hear her request. She wants you to find her precious ring that she lost in Hien residence (that’s the "haunted" European style building north of the Park that you couldn’t enter before).

43. You still can’t enter Hien’s residence, so go to the hacker girl on the southern part of the city. Talk with her and you will give her the Mandarine you got from the maid. As thanks, she will give you the key to Hien’s residence.

Hien's residence

The enemies in here are pretty tough and even with the best equipment and level 20~ you may die if you are not careful. They can also make you forget the spells you learnt from H with Sill.

44. Enter Hien’s residence and in the lobby chose to look at the clock. Then go north. The door will close but don’t worry. Look around at everything and kill the monsters that appear. After three or so have been killed the door will unlock. When you look at the fireplace twice, you will notice a sword. Take the sword from fireplace.

45. Go back to the lobby. In the kitchen (East, North, North from the lobby), look at the shelf twice and you will see a Queen's Shield that you can take. The food on the table in the dining hall will restore your health if you eat it.

Once you have explored and taken every thing you can climb the stairs to the second floor. All the room doors are locked, so just go all the way west until you fall through the rotten floor.

Go back to the room that locked you in earlier (North of the lobby) and examine the table where you will see that a key has suddenly appeared. Take the key.

If the key isn't there, explore the rooms west of the lobby, then go back. The key should appear after that.

Edit: Above instruction is confusing, let me repair this. The 'rooms west of lobby' mentioned above is located from 'Lobby - West - North - East'. The map shows it as dead end, but it is actually a pathway (can only be accessed after falling from 2nd floor).

46. With the key you can now enter the second floor rooms. In the first room look at the wall twice and you will find the Royal Armor that you can take.

On the third room look at the desk in order to find the diary. Read it. Then fall back to the first floor again.

47. Now go to the sealed library room on the left (West North West from the lobby) as you should be able to enter it now. H will happen once again. Now go to opposite room( the workhouse room with boxes) and look at the packages and you will see a hammer that you can take. You have to try to take the hammer twice before Rance will actually pick it up.

You can keep taking books in the library until you get the "Fire tree leaf" that will let you H the item shop girl. If you don't go to H the item shop girl before you complete the mansion you won't be able to do her, so go get that done if you want.

48. Go back to the third room on the second floor and try to go West while standing in the room. Rance will break down the wall using the hammer and enter the fourth room. The last H will happen.

49. Go back to the first room (the lobby). Look at the clock if you haven't already, then turn the clock's hands. If there is no option to turn the clock, go back to the third room on the second floor and read the diary again before coming back down to try again

50. Go to the kitchen (the cold room where you lose health) and look at the table. You will see an entrance hidden by the desk. Enter it and you will meet the ghost of the girl. She will tell you who is responsible for kidnapping the girls. She then will disappear while leaving you the ring.

Castle

51. You will automatically will go to the castle where you will end up and in a room together with Hikari and Sill, who has been kidnapped.

52. Talk with them both Sill and Hikari several times to find out the whole story. When you are done talking, go after the kidnapper.

53. Look around at the surroundings several times that you will appear few times and you will find a ninja hidhing. Fight her and defeat her. Keep assaulting her and then talk to her until she tells you about the secret passage the kidnapper used to escape.

54. Go into the secret passage and keep moving, fighting monsters at every turn.

55. Getting out of it you will meet Maris, who will try to trick you. She will do H with you and then try to kill you with her knife. Yet you are ready and beat her too. Then just go to the Lia and take her virginity.

56. Now just watch the ending: you got 20,000 Gold after the mission, yet you can’t really enjoy it properlythem fully as you get letter from Lia where she explains that there’s a royal rule that states she must marry took her virginity. The game ends with you and Sill running away from Lia, all dressed up in a wedding dress, and Maris knocking on your door.

Congratulations on beating the game!
