1. "Call Sill" in Paris College.

2. "Ask" her about "Hikari" twice.

3. "Assault" Sill to learn a spell (whatever you want). Refer to the table provided above for known combinations.

4. Go to the Castle Gate. The guardian girl won’t let you in, as you need a “Castle permit” to get into the castle.

5. Return to the Park to trigger an event. There is a girl who seems to have lost her wallet. Choose to "Help her", whether you ask for a reward or not will not affect the result.

6. Go to Paris College. "Call Sill" and "Ask" her to spare some "Gold". Rance obtains 150 Gold.

7. As it is evening, the Inn is now open. Go there, talk to Nami, agree on staying overnight. You can "Negotiate the price" to reduce the cost.

8. In the Inn, “Call” Nami and keep "Talk"ing to her till she mentions something about thieves' increased activities and their crimes. Go to "Sleep".

9. Go to the Item Shop. The shop girl here will tell you about a hacker who provides a lot if information.

10. Go to the Info Store to meet said hacker. "Ask" her about anything you want, she will tell you that you need to buy the information to earn one.

11. Go to the Pub and talk to the bartender (you will most likely meet Sill along the way). "Ask" the bartender about “Castle Permit” and then “Thieves”, He will tell you that his daughter got kidnapped by them and will ask for your help. Rance obtains 800 Gold.

12. Now you have enough money, go buy some weapons in the Armor shop. It's recommended to pick the highest-tier ones for easier battles.

13. Return to the Info Store. "Buy Information" about "Lair" to know how to enter thieves' cave and its location. It will cost you 200 Gold, but you have to buy it in order to progress with the story. The hacker girl will offer you an additional info by 100 Gold, feel free to take it if you still have enough money.

14. Now step outside the city through the Entrance Gate. "Look for monsters" and defeat them to earn experience point as much as you can to be safe for the later play-through. You need to visit Level Room which located in the Main City to "Level up". You need level 12 (no more, no less) to get Haniwa bronze statue. Once you feel that you are strong enough and well prepared, get inside the Thieves' Lair through Zone 3.

(assuming you used the highest-tier weapon/armor, it's recommended to "Look for monsters" in Zone 3 as most of them give you a good amount of experiences and safer)

Note: If you want to get Haniwa bronze statue you have to ask Item Shop Girl about monsters again.

15. Go to the east on the first crossroad. Go inside the First Room through the east door. You need to "Look" at its closet to find 4 medicines. "Take" them.

16. Go to the Second Room (still on the east side) to meet a guy who is currently imprisoned in cement. "Talk" to him and return to the first crossroad, go west. Up the stairs you will meet a thief – Choose "Fight" and defeat him in a battle.

17. Try to "Go upstairs", Rance will say that there is something wrong with the stairs which prevents him to advance. Choose "Go out" for now.

18. Return to the First Room on the east side to "Look" for Thief Shoes inside its closet. "Take" them.

19. With Thief shoes equipped, you can return to the Room with thief to "Go upstairs". In the First Room, "Look" at the closet to find a key. "Take" it.

20. There are now two other rooms before the "Last Room". Inside the Second Room (west side), there is a girl who will let you do/"Assault" her if you can answer 3 questions correctly in a row. If you got one wrong, you could freely retake the questions by re-entering the room.

21. Inside the "Third Room", you will encounter a girl with 2 bandits. "Talk" with one of the two to get new options. DON'T "Rape the girl" because it will give you an instant game-over. You can get the Haniwa Bronze Statue from the first guy if you "Keep talking" to them, remember that you have to be in EXACT level 12, otherwise you will get nothing from this room.

22. The boss is inside the Last Room where the bartender’s daughter is kept. Defeat him in a battle, then save the girl by choosing "Help".

30. Enter the castle building. Go West. Notice that there are two rooms on the right.

31. In the first room (refer to the "cleaning-maid room") you will see the maid cleaning. “Talk” and "Assault" her. While doing H, select "Talk" till she mentions something about a key inside her pocket. "Look" at her "Clothes" then you will notice a key. Select to "Take" it once it is available as an option.

32. Go north (the door will be automatically unlocked since you have the key) and enter the second room (refer to the "thief-maid room"). You will see a maid who's trying to steal a bread for her sick family (which is most likely a lie). "Go Out" and re-enter the room. "Ask" her about "Yuran" and she will tell you how to defeat her in a battle. Don't "Assault" her and simply "Go Out", she will give you a dungeon key.

33. Go into the Store House on the left and select "Look" around the things few times. Select “Move” until Rance mentions something about a liquid and you will find a "Jar", "Take" it.

34. Return to the entrance and go east this time. Go up. On the room on the left you will meet Miki for the first time. Keep "Talk"ing to know her better, even though she mentions nothing aside from Kentarou. There is nothing do here as for now, "Go out".

35. Inside the room on the right (refer to the "mouse's room") lives the perverted mouse. Keep "Talk"ing to know how his obsession with young girls' panties. "Ask" him about the "Jar" which you just got from the Storehouse, he will tell you about its secret as long as you are able to bring him Miki's panties. "Go out" for now.

36. Visit Miki inside her room again. "Take" her "Panties" twice, she will literally blow you out of the room. It appears that taking her panties by force/directly is not an option.

37. Visit the Throne Room. "Talk" and "Ask" the king and queen about things, though they surely don't know how to answer properly.

38. Go out to the hall and visit the Prison. "Ask" the guard girl about "Hikari" twice and she will fall asleep. (if she’s not falling asleep that means you haven’t talked with everyone yet). Select "Go in".

39. This is the room where the prisoner is kept. You need to "Ask" the prisoner about her "Name" three times to know her name. As for now, her name is the only thing you need, return to the Casino.

40. "Ask" the unfriendly casino girl about her "Name", you will notice that her name is similar with the prisoner's. Rance will ask whether she has a relation with the prisoner or not, in which it is. It appears that she is the younger sister of the prisoner. Keep "Talk"ing to her till she mentions something about a stone. Rance obtains "Stone of Inner Peace" and 200 Gold.

41. Return to the Prison to visit the prisoner again. "Give" her the Stone of Inner Peace. Rance obtains "Straw" and additional 200 experience points.

44. Go to the Throne Room and "Ask" about a "Participation Coupon". Rance obtains a Participation Coupon.

45. If you are at a high enough level(15 or more), you can defeat Yuran without doing the following step. Remember that maid in Thief-Maid Room ? She told you how to block Yuran's special attack with the juice of a Hirara Lemon. Step outside the Castle Gate and return to the Item Shop in main city. Ask her about "Hirara Lemon" and "Buy" some. Don't forget to "Buy" "Panties" as well. Rance obtains Rabbit Panties.

46. Go inside the castle again but don’t go to the Mouse's Room yet. Go to Miki’s Room instead and "Give" her the panties. She will return them back, but the smell she left on the panties will be enough to trick the mouse.

47. Now you may go to the Mouse's Room. Select "Give the Panties" to learn a secret.

48. (don't forget to save before entering it) Go to the Coliseum. Defeat all of the opponents and "Assault" Yuran in the end. After that, you may leave the Coliseum.

49. 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 had lost in Hien's residence (refer to the "haunted mansion" which located in main city). Now you have to return to the Main City.

50. You still can’t enter Hien’s residence. Visit the hacker girl in Info-Store. Select "Talk" and she will ask for that mandarine you got from the cleaning-maid. To show her gratitude, 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' (Technically north of parlour is more correct). The map shows the forementioned path as dead end, but it is actually a pathway. You should see a scene involving a girl being tortured as you enter the correct room, then only the key will spawn.

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!
